58 Telling Those That Matter (Book 2)

~Leo~

What Devin told me left me baffled.

I did not know what to do. If it was as serious as he described, it was only fair to involve the king. We could not deal with this bastard independently and were not genetically or physically equipped to push back.

After speaking to Devin, I took out my phone and called Alexei.

He was the only one I could talk to about this, and hopefully, I could get to meet Clay, and he could elaborate since he was in the southern region.

Amelia was overseeing the packhouse preparation for the arrival of our guests.

The place was too big and ostentatious for our liking, but it was a much-needed space at the moment.

Kyle and Max were helping her with the gym and training rooms. I was glad she was getting along with the alphas. It would make my life easier.

Alexei answered after a couple of rings, and I sighed with relief. I was getting worried when he did not answer the call immediately.

“Alpha Leo,” he said, almost out of breath.

“I’m sorry I was training.” He said, apologising, and I could not believe the extent of his humility.

He was hard to hate once you started knowing him.

“Have you spoken to your brother?” I asked him, and he paused a bit before answering.

“Not at all. Is there an issue?” He asked me, sounding worried.

“I just want to know the situation in the south. Devin just informed me that an entire settlement was wiped out by what I believe to be the Stepanov cult. They did not leave anyone. According to him, they wanted the land and asked the people to leave, but the Alpha there refused, and his refusal caused them to pump silver into the air, killing the people in the process.” I said, and I heard him gasp.

“An entire settlement?!” he exclaimed.

“I can’t wrap my head around it either,” I confessed, and he was silent.

“It doesn’t make sense why they would want to do that. The land is useless without the people. They were looking for people to lead,” Alexei finally said, and I did not know how to respond.

For people that seemed to want to rule us, this was a pretty stupid move unless there was a good reason behind their behaviour that we were yet to find out.

Clay did not inform me of this,” Alexei said, and I was silent. The question wasn’t meant
