The Dark Side Of Fate By Karima Sa’ad Usman Chapter 261

Preparing For The Meeting

~Leo~

I could not believe Sean was a bastard.

Had we known he would betray us like this, we wouldn’t have opted they give him head Alpha of the West.

It seemed right then because we needed the four regional alphas to agree to the kingship. Little did we know it would be a move we would regret.

I had suspected him when there was a high inflow of displaced people in the East and South. Every time the council reached out to him, he would have a logical explanation for it.

He would say they were packs belonging to alphas hanged for treason.

He would suggest that the pack members did not like the new alpha and decided to leave.

It did not corroborate what the people said, but how would we know? I had a region to run, Devin had a region to run, and the council had their hands full. The Royal family also had their hands full trying to balance Larry’s stunt’s financial and economic effects. We were too occupied to dig deep, and he took advantage of it.

What I did not understand was why he would think he deserved more. If anyone deserved more, it was Christian. He was with us through it all, even at the expense of his wife and son. Sylvester had forgiven their crimes for his sake, and Christian was content with it. Why would Sean think that way? He was a greedy bastard, and we made a terrible mistake by trusting him.

I noticed my father talking on the phone, and I did not need to guess whom he was talking to. I knew Erik had finally reached out. It made me nervous. I doubted I wanted to see the man based on trust alone. I did not know what to expect, and the fact that Amelia was pregnant made it more difficult. It wasn’t like she was sick or something, and it wasn’t like she needed me. I just wanted to be with her. I guess it was the excitement of it all.

“I hope we can trust the two of you,” I finally spoke, looking at Grey and his wife.

“Our history with your family has not been great, with Susan being the exception. I would not trust you until you give me a reason to. It isn’t personal, but I hate being played. If you say you are on our side, then you better be. There is too much hanging in the balance; another betrayal would be too much. It is not personal.

I do not trust my parents either. I haven’t seen them in almost seven years, and a lot has changed within those years for anyone to remain the same.

I dislike pretending, so I am stating it out of respect. I hope I am clear,” I said, and everyone was silent.
