The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 922

We all proceeded to our spots, and as always, Amelia and I had to part because I was at the floor level where the council sat while she was with the ladies at the upper loges. Tamia and Sylvester were in their loge overseeing the meeting.

Lady Stephanie and Alpha Jake Brighton shared the loge with the ladies, The lords sat elevated from the council, and it was odd to see my empty seat there.

I took comfort in the fact that when our children take over, one of my sons will occupy the council seat, another will occupy the lord seat, and the last will be the head Alpha of the east and occupy that seat. There was enough responsibility for all.

As for the council seat, it will fall between Ethan and Sebastien. There was no way I would put Noah there. He was too impulsive for his own good and wasn't friendly with words. Sebastien was a bit subtle, but they were alike. I guess Ethan will take it, then.

We arranged ourselves, and I was pleased to see Alpha Christian sitting on the seat allocated to head Alphas. There were three empty seats beside him. One was mine, the other was Devin's, and the last was Eric's. Clay was also around, and I could see the glint in his eyes that stated he wanted in on the action.

It was a bit embarrassing that we saw this as sports even though lives were at stake, but the thrill of going on another adventure was overwhelming, and the trauma caused by the near-death experience in the past had faded away.

I banged the gavel and addressed the people to start the meeting.

Many trivial matters were discussed, and I could understand why the order was arranged in that way.

If we tabled Christian's matter first, there wouldn't be time to listen to the others. Alpha Caspian from Cain's island was to speak before Christian, and he looked distraught.

The man was young, in his early twenties. He had just taken over from his father this year and was proactive.

It was comforting seeing the calibre of people our children will end up working with.

"I want to state that the royal family and this council have been partial this month. We know the incident in Grizlo hit home and recently threatened Lady Stephanie's safety in their home in Grizlo, but that does not mean the rest of us do not need aid.

We have severe trade and port security issues on Cain's Island. There had been an influx of contraband goods from underground networks, weapons and drugs, to be precise. Catching these people have been next to impossible. We do not have the military force to keep our ports safe, and Alpha Christain has deployed the best of the northern forces to find Beta Mike of Grizlo. It is wrong.

This is a serious matter. People are going missing, and our markets are in jeopardy because of these activities. Although the activities have reduced this month, it hasn't stopped completely, and I am worried for the safety of our citizens," He said, and I wondered why he had waited until now to bring this to the council.

"Why didn't you table this before the council when it started? Your accusation towards this council is baseless. It isn't like you made reports, and they were not handled," I said, annoyed.

"I made reports, my lord; we all did and submitted them to Alpha Christian. He is here. Ask him," he said, pointing at Alpha Christian, who was annoyed.

"I will share the email I received from Thompson with the council. He did speak of the issues but not in this context, and he did not state the urgency or the gravity of the situation. According to Alpha Thompson, they were working on it," Christian said in his defence while fiddling with his phone. I figured he was sending the email to us.

"Was Alpha Thompson the only person you received an email from?" I asked Christian, and he nodded.

"So, what happened to your reports?" I asked Caspian, and he was fuming.
