The Dark Side of Fate

104 Pre-Meeting

~Leo~

I waited for Alexei to arrive so we could attend the meeting together. The fact that the alphas did not complain about the sudden meeting meant they knew something was wrong.

It was odd of me to suddenly call a meeting impromptu.

Knowing that Alpha Gordon would be there made me want to cringe. I knew I would have to arrest him right away for arson. So I instructed Max and Kyle to accompany me too. They might no longer own packs, but they were eastern Alphas.

Alexei did not arrive until seven in the evening.

Erik had listened to my father and gone to seek him. Hill Valley wasn't far from Hayland, so the trip was quick and easy. Timothy looked worried when I received them at the door of the pack house. He felt something was wrong.

"Leo, Leo," He said, walking towards me, and I saw Alexei shake his head with boredom.

"Leo, you can't trust this man; he is mad," Timothy said, pointing at Erik, and I looked at Erik, who was laughing at Timothy. Seeing Timothy now, I knew it was true when they said he reported everything to me.

"What did you do?" I asked Erik, and he shrugged.

"He told me age is an interesting topic, and he would like to run research on me. He tried to take samples off me,’ Timothy complained, and I looked at Alexei, who confirmed what he said.

I could not scold Erik for it, so I just told him to apologise to Timothy for giving him a scare.

"I wouldn't have done that if he wasn't going on about my appearance. It gets to me, you know," Erik said, and I could understand his angle, but I wouldn't blame Timothy; the guy looked weird. Especially with the two eye colour that I was now uncomfortable asking him about after hearing questions about his looks got to him. I guess that would remain an unanswered question.

Alexei walked upto me, and we extended handshakes.
