SHADOWS OF DESTINY - Season 2 Episode 12

~Tamia~

Amy seemed angry and broken, but I could not feel sorry for her. She was careless and selfish.

Gambling with her son’s life was just stupid. I could not sympathise with her, but I linked Wilson to bring

Liam to us just so she would know I wasn’t lying about her son.

Avery did not like Amy, and neither did Linda. I could see it in their eyes. Their anger was the same as

mine. I was highly disappointed.

“I want to know, Amy, why you will use your son in the most despicable manner?” Linda asked her

voicing out her contempt towards the stupid luna.

“I understand you being adventurous or trying to be a vigilante, but involving your son and endangering

his life is careless and extreme. You are not fit to be a mother. People like you are a disgrace to

motherhood.” Linda said, and Amy could not speak. She was silent.

I did not feel sorry for her. Her husband had washed his hands off her and told us to do as we pleased.

Even if she managed to get out of the mess, she would have no home to go to. She deserved worse

than abandonment.

Wilson walked Liam in, and he looked well-kept in new clothes.

Since the people threatening him had been caught, he had been set free. It was only a few hours of

freedom, but it showed.

To think I have been busy all day was killing. Sylvester and I had decided to go ruthless this morning,

and I was still at it. I was tired, but I needed to finish Amy’s session and get something tangible.

The boy looked at me, bowed to pay his respect, and then looked at his mother. There was a sudden

rage in his eyes that I knew only the betrayal by a loved one could bring.

“Why am I here?” He asked, not wanting to be in the room.

“She wanted to see you,” I told him calmly, and he shook his head. His eyes were misty.

“I do not want to see her,” He said, voicing his anger, and Amy sobbed.

“Liam..” She cried, and he growled at her. He was an Alpha, after all, so it was expected.

“I hate you!” he yelled at his mother with his command, and I must say, I felt it too. The boy might seem

timid, but he was strong. His father must be a strong Alpha too.

His command made Linda uncomfortable, and Wilson touched his shoulder to calm down because his

mood upset everyone, including me. I tried to be assertive about it and mask the discomfort, but I felt it

too.

“You got me involved with those people. You encouraged it. I hate you. They tried to kill me. They set

me up and put a target on my back. Moses put a target on my back, and Elaine ran away. If I hadn’t

been arrested, I would have been dead by now!” he yelled at her, and I could see and feel his pain.

Amy was weeping, seriously realising now that I did not lie to her and everything I told her was true.

“I did not know they would do that. They promised me you won’t be active,” she said in tears, looking at

her son, and he shook his head.

“Why get me involved in the first place. I started talking to that bitch when I was fourteen, mother. Who

exposes their child like that. You helped them manipulate me. I thought going to the west was my idea,

but it was yours. You exploited my weakness. You knew I wanted friends and used my longing to get

me into your gang. I hope they find you guilty and you rot,” he told her and wiped away his tears.

“Father will lose his position because of you, and we will be in exile. Even if they kill you, we will be

exiled. You ruined us,” He told her, spelling the truth to her. Sylvester must have told the boy what to

expect.

Amy could not say anything.

“I will make it right, I promise,” The woman said, trying to redeem herself in her son’s eyes, but that

ship had sailed.

“You can’t do shit,” he replied to her and looked at me.

“I want to leave Luna,” he told me, and I nodded, letting him go.

His pain had gotten to me, but I had to keep it together.

This wasn’t the time to allow my tears to fall freely. I still had people to question once we were done

with Amy.

I looked at her, and she was still weeping. Longing, looking at the door her son had walked through, he

left her alone, and she deserved it.

“Your love must be sick and twisted for you to do that to your son,” I told her. If they had killed him, it

would have been worse.

I pulled a chair and sat in front of her. Her eyes were tearing and out of focus. I snapped my fingers to

make her focus. She must have escaped into her mind after seeing her son and knowing what he

thought of her. I could not feel sorry for her, really. She blinked, and her tears fell. Then she looked at

me and bowed to show submission.

“I want you to tell me all you know, and I want the truth. If your story does not check out, I will execute

you,” I told her, reminding her of the cost of her keeping her life. She nodded and looked at me.

“I will tell it all.” She said with determination and pain in her eyes.

I put on my phone recorder to record her words. I hoped to get something good that would lead

somewhere. She was the head Luna of the north, so it had to count for something.

“I was recruited five years ago. I am part of the northern elite core. My husband doesn’t know, but my

duty is to keep an eye on the activities in the north and get close to the influencers.

The idea was to cause tiny pockets of trouble, make the people revolt and cause a revolution.

They promised me a sit on the council when the king is installed, and my son will be governor of the

north. Everyone that they hope will be governor and council member when the king ascends is in the

group.

Ramsey is the one mobilising us, but he isn’t the king.

The king is very shifty, and I don’t know who it is, but I doubt he is young because they are following

the same plan they used during Lord Maurice’s time. I might be wrong also, but I am just saying.” She

said and sighed.

“I need you to be more detailed,” I told her calmly, and she nodded.

“Ramsey is our leader. His task is to unite the east and the south so we can get our men into the south

through the east and overthrow Devin Corrigan to install our leader there.

We thought we had almost succeeded with Leo Albert but later found out that our informant, his current

Luna, had been deliberately feeding us false information, and Ramsey declared her an enemy two

weeks ago. I do not know if they have carried out the order.

Once you were taken from the east, she was supposed to report everything Leonardo was doing and

his movement so he could be ambushed, killed and replaced.

She did not know that part, but I guess she figured her father had ill plans for her fated, who happened

to also be the man that overthrew him in the past.

I do not have the full story, but I believe you know it better than me since that was your life.

Of course, some people suggested we just attack the east and Kill him, but the elites know that Albert

might be peaceful, but he is deadly.

It had to be planned in a way that Maxwell Blanch and Kyle Nikson would not be able to aid him.

They, too, were on the hit list, but our plan did not work.

We were hoping the attack on the east would force Leo to take the initiative and execute or exile Kyle

to reduce his strength in the east. When that didn’t happen, we had to lean on our informant,” She said,

and I had to interrupt her.

“Why all the scheming and hiding in the shadows. This is a lot of tedious mental work. Why not just

attack and try to kill everyone? Why scheme against them? That is not a leader’s trait,” I said, and she

smiled at me.

“They do not have an army. A few loyalists here and there, but the numbers aren’t enough to guarantee

a win, so this is their best bet,” she said. I understood their handicap, which would have been to our

advantage if we knew who this king man was. I guess I would just have to be satisfied with ending

Ramsey and everyone on our list, hopeful that the king would show up, which I doubt anyway. He did

not seem like the irrational type.

Not wanting to spoil the confession, I prompted her to continue.

“Please continue,” I said, and she sighed.

“Amanda Richford has not been cooperative. The plan was to place our member Alpha Gabriel as

leader of the east. He would, in return, support us against Lord Volkov, putting his position in a

precarious situation.

Even though we had failed with Leonardo Albert, the infiltration of the south was successful.

I do not know if they have given the order, but Corrigan would soon be no more. We have been able to

buy a few people close to him to finish the job.

Christian was supposed to champion the petition and make sure Lord Volkov stepped down as Lord.

Which will automatically make him head of the council as he is both a Volkov and a Belyaev.

Once that happens, the governors and Alphas in the association will sack the council and install our

person as the king.

The king will then create a new council which Ramsey will head. Every Elite will have a seat there.

The king promised that there would be equality and that every pack would be allowed to make their

decision and keep most of the revenues to develop their lands which isn’t what is happening in the

current council. The Lord keeps sixty-five per cent as tax to use as he sees fit, ” she explained the

situation.

Besides their greed for being on the council, I saw nothing attractive about the situation.

“Tell me the people in the Elite and others,” I said.

“Ramsey, Gabriel, Gezel Sidorov, Carla Orlov, Kate Bloomberg, Jacob Mikhailov, Jenny Lawrence, who

is late now. Nikolas Sullivan, Glenda Sullivan, some eastern and southern Lunas,” she said, and I

realised that she would need to write down all their names.

“What about Moses and Elaine. The bastards you entrusted your son too?” I asked her, and she looked

worried.

“Elaine is Iris Brighton, and Moses is Alpha Renold’s son, former Leader of the west,” she said, and

Avery whistled at Iris’s name.

I took certain deep breaths.

“Did your team instruct that Iris should kill me?” I asked her, remembering the poisoning, and she

shook her head.

“You weren’t a matter of concern until recently,” She said, and I was interested.

“Certain things have not gone the way we planned, and your name seems to always come up as the

reason. You also seem impossible to recruit. Unlike Arya, Maurine and Lin. The three of you were

unapproachable, so there has been an order to take you three out, but it was very recent.

I also think they planned on doing it publicly with a gun. I am not sure. It wasn’t my department, but I

heard it in passing,” she said and looked at her chained hands and smiled. It was a painful smile. She

was laughing at herself, seeing where all her scheming landed her. In a dungeon in her underwear,

chained with silver like a common criminal. How low had she fallen?

“Lilly and Sofia were the team leaders of the Volkov Estate. Lilly informed us that she had been caught,

and you asked her to work for you, so she had been doing it. Moses asked her to do as you say and

report back to us,” She said, and I balled up my fist in anger. That bitch never learns. I will make a

spectacle of her when I become queen. I couldn’t wait.

“Is that all the information you have?” I asked her, and she thought about it before speaking.

“They found David Pavlishchev. I do not know if you know who he is, but he is very important in this.

They are trying to recruit him. It will be wise if you get to him before they succeed.

They sound pretty convincing, and soon he will think working against the current order is the right thing,

just as they did to me,” She said, and I asked her where David was without showing excitement.

“He is in Pridewood pack in the south,” she said, ” He is currently living there with his mate, Lisa and

two children. He is a peaceful man living under the alias of Thorn Lucas,” she said, and that was a

piece of very important information because I knew Sylvester was looking for his half brother.

I looked at Amy, realising she was more valuable to us alive than dead, especially now that we were

trying to get ahead of the bastards. I needed to put aside my personal feelings towards her and make

use of her.

“So, do you know their plans in detail so we can counter them?” I asked her, and she nodded.

“I know some of it, but now that I have been arrested, they will just change their plans,” She said, and a

crazy plan came to my mind. I knew it would be risky, but we needed to take risks.

“How about you be our informant in that society. We have your son, so we know you won’t misbehave.

Do you think it is something you can do?” I asked, and Avery exclaimed, indicating it was a bad idea,

but I knew what I was doing.

“What about Lily?”Linda asked, and I laughed.

“Lilly won’t matter soon. Sylvester and I do not trust her,” I said, knowing that Sylvester planned on

arresting everyone that was involved.

All we have to do is make sure that Amy isn’t arrested. There is no way we can catch everyone, but

reducing the amount of field players would force them to promote the survivors. Amy will be promoted

and might get to see the king or the one closest to him.
