SHADOWS OF DESTINY - Season 1 Episode 94

~Tamia~

I could not believe the wealth of information we had just gotten from Alpha Christian.

Who would have thought Liam Bricks was underaged and Alpha Christain’s son? The man had carried

out the task given to him diligently, thinking he was saving his son’s life. Liam was a wicked child, and I

was furious.

I could not say a word in the office. I was speechless.

Thinking of everything, I wondered what this uprising group wanted.

The issue came down to the four families that would head the council if the bill was passed.

Theodore and Marcel were Loyal. That leaves Vino, but Vino does not seem like the trouble kind. He

did not seem pushy, and he never antagonised Sylvester. He has never done anything to work against

Sylvester, nothing we know of.

I know he wants to be a friend and join their group. Today was his first show of anger and power, and

he was irritated that the Alphas had wasted our time. He was relieved that the bill wasn’t passed. He

might not have told me, but the smile on his face after the hearing said it all.

I was curious to find out who this person was. Was it Jacob Makailov? His family wouldn’t be

considered if the bill was passed. It was a colossal mess, and we were right in the middle.

“Alpha Christian, we need your help to figure out who recruited your son,” I spoke up, and he nodded.

His eyes were bloodshot. He was angry and ashamed at the same time. Treason was a severe matter.

His son had brought shame to the family, and if word got out, his family would lose respect.

Traitors are never able to redeem themselves, hence why Joan and Pamela swallowed their pride and

begged; they had no choice but to do so, or they wouldn’t be cast out of their families and stripped of

their names because of the lasting consequence of their actions.

“Anything to save my family’s reputation, Luna Tamia,” he said, and I nodded.

“What is his real name?” I asked, knowing Bricks wasn’t a northern last name.

“Liam Zakharov,” He said, and I nodded. He was a true northerner.

“Did he exhibit any behaviour before you sent him to study?” I asked, and he shook his head.

“He was happy and content before I sent him to the west. He wanted to go to Gad. He was an introvert

in Haddad and did not have friends. He eventually made a friend online and wanted to meet this friend,

so he pressured his mother to ask me to let him go to school in Gad to be close to his friend.

I felt it was an odd decision, but my mate wanted her son to be happy. The prospect of him finally

having a friend seemed great, so we contacted a hostel there, and they assured us he would be cared

for. We went there in high spirits.

A few months later, he called to inform us he would be sharing an apartment with his friend and that he

did not like the living condition of the hostel.

My mate had to travel to Gad to see where he would stay and meet his friend. She was a young female

wolf that went by the name Elaine.

She seemed decent, and my mate said it was okay. That was how he moved out of the hostel,” He

said, and I frowned.

“Did she bother to find out anything about Elaine?” I asked him, realising that might have been his

recruiter.

“The girl was an orphan and worked in a bakery in Gad. Her name is Elaine Ashbreed. She went

missing after my son was kidnapped. I think they killed her,” He said, and I realised that Elaine was a

part of it and Elaine wasn’t her real name.

“Why did you send your son to the west using a false ID? It doesn’t make sense,” I asked him, and he

nodded.

He did not seem surprised, so I knew he was aware his son wasn’t bearing his real name.

“I do not travel, Luna, and honestly, I felt it was odd that Liam would ask for a fake ID. He said his last

name would get him in trouble because he was an Alpha breed and the son of the Northern leader. It

did not make any sense, but I let it be. He is his mother’s favourite, so she must have helped him get it

done. Something about wanting him to blend in. He had somehow gotten it in his head that he had no

friends because of his last name. She said the west would be a great way to start over for him. Little did

I know he planned on getting involved with criminal activities and did not want to be traced. The

bastard!” he said with rage, and I shook my head. I wanted to question his mate, but I kept it to myself.

“I think this Elaine girl talked him into it. Based on all you have said, other than being an introvert, he

was completely normal until he went to the west. I think he was catfished and made to move to the

west for this purpose so they could initiate and use him. He is a pawn in a dangerous game,” I said,

and tears rolled down Christian’s cheek.

He had fought the tears, but they won eventually and trickled down. He went on his knees immediately

and bore his neck.

“Please, Lord Volkov, he is my only heir, do not kill him. Lock him up and do anything you like but do

not make it public for my family’s sake. He will not succeed me, but I do not want him to die, and I do

not want him to pull down the rest of my family. Please, Lord Volkov,” he pleaded, and I could see the

desperation in his eyes. Why did Liam do this to his father? This man was the leader of the north, just

like Leo was the leader of the East. Other than the council and my mate, he answered to no one. All

alphas reported to him. He was a powerful man; his son had just belittled him. Having him beg

Sylvester in the presence of his Alpha subordinates was a disgrace, but one he had to risk so his stupid

son could keep his life.

“Seeing what you did for me at the council today, I will make an exception, but just this once,” Sylvester

said, and I smiled and rubbed his thigh gently to commend him. It was hard not to make an example of

someone that had committed treason. It would make it seem like it was an okay offence, but Sylvester

made the exception.

Regardless, I planned on questioning his mate. I wondered why she would make a false ID for her

minor son and allow him to move in with a stranger she did not bother to investigate.

It was suspicious.

Knowing Gezel was a luna and part of this nonsense, this woman might be a part of it too. Luckily for

me, she was in my custody.

Alpha Christian and his colleagues left, and Sylvester, Theo and I went to the dining room to eat.

Avery and Marcel were there, and they both seemed extremely happy.

The moment we sat, Glenda came towards the table.

“You can’t sit here tonight, Glenda,” Stephanie said, a bit irritated.

“We are having a family dinner. The last I checked, Dominic has not committed to you, so respect

yourself and eat in the room or anywhere you like. And that is an order.” Stephanie said to her sternly.

Honestly, we were all tired of having Glenda around.

I wondered when Dominic would do the needful and send her away. He wasn’t going to commit himself.

We all knew it, so I wondered what she was still doing here.

Glenda looked at Dominic, and he glared at her.

“I did tell you it was over, and you should go home, but you chose to hang around,” he told her, and we

gasped. Glenda was shameless.

“We broke up yesterday in the morning, and we are not getting back together again, Glenda. This time I

am done. I can’t deal with your nonsense, and I do not think it is something I want to put up with for the

rest of my life. You have done enough. My brother and I are in a good place now, and I want to keep it

that way. I will never be Lord of the north, and you should leave since that is all you ever nag about,”

He said, and I gasped because I understood what had happened.

Glenda must have been part of why Dominic pushed against Sylvester so hard.

“So you broke up with me because I wanted you to be a better man?” she asked him, sounding angry

and hurt.

“It is irritating, Glenda, when you constantly ring in my ear that I am supposed to be Lord. You tell me I

am a fool for allowing my baby brother to walk all over me. You make me feel inadequate. Guess what?

I do not have alpha genes, I cannot lead battle, and I cannot command respect, so I am not qualified

for the position. I am done with the nagging and yapping. It has almost cost me my life,” he shot back,

and she picked up a glass of water and threw the content at him. The content hit Avery, and I could see

the rage in my friend’s eyes.

“That is not the real reason; it is because of the harem whore, Katya. I know you two slept together. Do

not try to make this about my words of encouragement,” She said, and Avery slapped her.

“You can throw whatever you want, as long as it doesn’t touch me,” Avery said, cleaning the water spilt

on her.

The water was cold too, so I could understand Avery’s anger. I also figured she contemplated before

slapping Glenda because she allowed the woman to finish her sentence before doing it. I knew she

also did it because of Glenda’s choice of words towards Katya.

“A whore, you say,” Dominic said smiling, “if a virgin can be regarded as a whore then it’s okay, but she

is more of a woman than you will ever be. An alpha breed from a prestigious family well brought up and

a joy to be with. She makes me want to be a better version of myself. She accepts me for who I am and

genuinely loves me. I am not a social staircase to her. Katya is the best decision I have ever made.

Since you have decided to spill it, I might as well announce my intentions,” He said and stood up and

went to where Katya was sitting.

He went on one knee and brought out a small jewellery box.

We all knew what would ensue. He asked Katya to marry him, and she said yes before he could finish

the sentence.

Tears of joy streamed down my cheeks. I was so emotional that Sylvester held me.

Glenda stormed out of the place, and she was wailing.

I did not like her methods or intentions, but it was painful. She had been with Dominic for years, and he

never popped the question. Katya came in and took it all.

I do not blame Doiminc either; if all he said was true, then he would have sentenced himself to hell if he

married Glenda.

We all congratulated them; it was indeed a happy day for us.

After our meal, Marcel stood up to make an announcement. I already knew what it would be, but I was

attentive.

“Avery and I went to the clinic today, and we are four weeks pregnant,” He said, and everyone was

overjoyed.

We all knew Avery wanted this badly, and now she had it; I looked at Linda, who sighed with relief.

Finally, she could rub her bump in the presence of Avery without feeling guilty.

I looked at Avery and smiled at her. She had come to complain to me some days ago, crying profusely,

if only she knew the goddess had already blessed her. I wondered if her test strips were working, and I

planned on asking her that question.

The day had gone better than we had hoped, but we still had much to do.
