The Dark Side of Fate

Chapter 41

41 Enforcer Bryce Golubev

~Leo~

I was sitting in my office when Casper

came to me in a hurry. He seemed like he

had rushed there from home.

I had asked him to take the week off

because his mate had given birth, so I knew whatever might have brought him to my office was important.

‘Envoys have been sent from the north and have just passed Hill Valley; they are heading here, Alpha. They say the Lord sent them,” Casper said, sounding nervous, and I knew why.

We had waited for the Wolf Lord to bring his people since he conquered us and took most of our women as trophies. I thought he had changed his mind when time

passed, and nothing happened, but I was

wrong.

“Are they officers?” I asked Casper, and

he nodded.

“Marlo said they were battle ready. It

seems they believe we might revolt to

whatever news they bring, and they are willing to use force if necessary.” Casper said, sounding worried, and I wondered what more Volkov wanted from me. He

had taken everything from me. What more did he want?

I sat in my office and told Casper to go home, just in case it turned into a fight, so he would not be caught up in it.

“I won’t leave you to face those

barbarians alone. What Kyle did to us is unforgivable because he was the one that made that man pick interest in the east,”

he said, complaining bitterly. We sat

worried about what might befall us.

Finally, the men arrived, and I offered

them seats in my office. They did not seem like they wanted to stay, so I did not bother to ask questions; I just let them get straight to the point.

“Alpha Albert, My name is Bryce Golubev, a lead enforcer for the northern council, appointed and sanctioned by lord Volkov himself,” He said with pride. I nodded at

him and greeted him.

I wondered why a head enforcer would be

sent to me, and it bothered me.

“We are here, under the order of the

council by lord Volkov, to collect on the

eastern developmental tax,” He said. I frowned at him, not knowing what the hell he was talking about.

“What taxes?” I asked the man, and he brought out a document with the Wolf

Lord’s seal.

“Why are we to pay these taxes?” I asked

him.

“This tax is for the regions under the

Wolf Lord. This region has been conquered by the north,” he said and stood up.

“I am not here to chit-chat, alpha Albert.

I will be back in a week to collect. Please

make what is necessarily available.” He said, and they excused themselves. 1
