94 Who is Liam?


    ~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 Pam 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 thesting 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 northernst 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 monthster, 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 ine.


    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 ine?" 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 ine Ashbreed. She went


    missing after my son was kidnapped. I think they killed her," He said, and I realised that ine was


    a part of it and ine 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 hisst name. She said the west would be a great way to


    start over for him. Little did I know he nned 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 ine girl talked him into it. Based on all you have said, other than being an introvert,


    he waspletely 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.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    "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 seed 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 tomend him. It was hard not to make


    an example of someone that hadmitted treason. It would make it seem like it was an okay


    offence, but Sylvester made the exception.


    Regardless, I nned 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. Thest I checked, Dominic has notmitted 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 tomit


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


    Glenda looked at Dominic, and he red 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 ce 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 cannotmand 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 ss 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 pped 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 contemted


    before pping 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 epts 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 ce, 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 me Doiminc either; if all he said was true, then he would have sentenced himself to hell if


    he married Glenda.


    We all congratted 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 hade toin 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 nned on asking her that question.


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