The Dark Side of Fate

47 Jake Brighton’s Request

~Devin~

I was sitting in my office when my beta, Lukman, walked into my office to

announce Alpha Jake Brighton’s arrival. I thought my business with his pack was over. What was he doing in my pack? I did not want to seem rude, but I wasn’t in the mood for a guest.

“Let him in,” I told my beta.

Alpha Brighton walked into my office smiling, and I wondered what the

occasion was.

“Good afternoon, Bane,” he said, and I

plastered a fake smile on my face to avoid being rude.

“Hello, Brighton,” I told him, and he nodded and sat down without me offering

him a seat. The man made himself

comfortable.

“To what do I owe this visit?” I asked

him, wanting to get straight to the point, and he sighed.

“I was laying on my bed last night thinking of how to improve my people’s lives when an idea popped into my head,” he said, and I frowned at him.

“Shouldn’t you be discussing that with Volkov?” I asked, and he had an angry

scowl on his face.

“I can never discuss my people with that bastard. He has done enough,” he said,

and I wasn’t comfortable with his words.

As much as I wanted to dissolve the rule

of the north, I wasn’t comfortable having

such a conversation.

Jake noticed and frowned at me.

“Did I come on a bad day?” he asked, and I wanted to say yes, but I shook my head and smiled at him.

I couldn’t be happy or enthusiastic about anything. There were just two months left to the blue moon. If I don’t do

anything and Sylvester claims Tamia, I would have to kill him to get her back. I hope she isn’t in love with him. I needed to do something quickly.

“Care to elaborate?” I finally said, wanting to be rid of the man.

He smiled, adjusted his seat, and then looked at my shelf where I had drinks.

I deliberately didn’t offer him anything because I did not want to stand up.

“If you want some, you can pour yourself a glass,” I said, and he smiled and went to pour himself a glass of brandy. He took a

sip and returned to sit down.

“I know what you did for my people was from the kindness of your heart, and I appreciate it,” he started, and I was

attentive.

“I was hoping you could allow my people to work in your region. Mostly part-time odd jobs in construction and the factories, “he said, and I frowned at him.

“The income and experience will help develop my people, and if things get worse with the north, we can abandon our lands and settle down in your region as members of your pack. I am willing to let go of my leadership for the sake of my people,” he said, and I knew he was
