106 Last-Minute Discussions

I decided to meet with the people I would be leaving behind in Mountain before going to bed. My parents, the Sullivans, Max, Kyle, and Casper, waited for me in the living room.

As much as it was my duty to be at the council in the north, the east was my responsibility, and I would be damned if I let it fall. Devin did not have the same support as I did, so the South fell, but with the loyalty and eagerness of the Alphas of the East, it was my duty to ensure we did not fail.

I entered the living room and found a suitable place to sit where I could see all of them and would not have to turn to speak to anyone.

"Have you secured the prisoner?" I asked Casper, and he nodded.

"We found these in his pockets," Kyle said, handing me a small plastic bag. They must have dumped Gordon's pocket content in it.

Some things were unnecessary to show me, but I understood Kyle and Max's reason.

"Chewing gum, a condom, some weird-looking pills, a lighter, and receipts.

I wondered if the light was what he used to set my plant ablaze.

"Thank you," I told Kyle, and Grey stretched his hands, wanting to view the content. I threw it to him, and he caught it easily.

"I need you to get all the information you can from him, Casper. I do not mind you going to the extreme," I told my beta, and he nodded.

"Kyle, Max, if there is an attack in Mountain, both of you should lead the battle as we did in Brentwood. All civilians should be underground before sunset. I know most of them have been coming out during the daytime to handle their businesses throughout this week; no one should be caught roaming the streets, or their lives would be forfeited. We can't be worried about safety and victory at the same time. The two do not go hand in hand when dealing with the likes of Yuri," I said, and Kyle and Max agreed.

"You need to be careful in the north, Leo, Yuri might surprise you and strike there. If Gordon was his informant, then he knows of the meeting and

might know of the topic of discussion. He could have had someone lurking around the vicinity of the town hall to eavesdrop on your discussion," my father said and sighed.

He bowed his head and then looked at me with a serious expression. My mother placed her hand over his to calm him down, and I could see the mist in his eyes.
