131 The Bond
~Sylvester~
The call did not take long. I instructed Wilson to hurry up and get back to me.
After the call, Ramsey continued to speak.
"Amanda informed the King of the development with Leo the night she returned from the party. She
feared he would dump her, but the guy had a bright idea of using the mate bond for themselves and
their cause.
Unfortunately, Leo wasn''t as stupid as they hoped he would be. She never won his heart, so she
never got to control him, but she helped her boyfriend cause damage," Ramsey said, and I felt
foolish.
"Why will she set you up, and why did Annika not know she was the mastermind? Your niece
named you," I said, and heughed.
"Amanda never forgave me for what happened to her mother. But I had to kill that bitch because
she was the one that got me in trouble with Maurice Volkov, both her and Annika''s mother. I guess
the two decided to get revenge for their mothers.
Annika is a fool for Amanda and would do anything her cousin says. To her, everything Amanda
does is for the greater good. I allowed it simply because it was beneficial to me. By now, you must
have established my character. There is nothing to hide," He said, and I was speechless.
I was also worried that Ramsey was right about Amanda cleaning her mess where Annika was
concerned.
"What about the threats and the targets? The gun assassination?" Leo asked, sounding confused,
and the man began tough.
"None of you would be alive if we could do all that. Amanda controlled the information that would be
in cirction. She was smart like that. Once you hear the same thing from two to three people, then
it is true. I can never put a target on my daughter''s back. During the game, I sat in your booth with
you. Did I behave in any suspicious way?
She told you what she wanted you to believe, and she pretended all through. I won''t me any of
you. Amanda is smooth like that," he said, and I was stunned.
"What about her visits to your house?" Leo asked, and he sighed.
"She did not visit me; she was visiting him. That pregnancy isn''t yours, Leo. They imed each
other, so you won''t feel it. Think of it this way. If Amanda had her way, both you and Tamia would
have died the day the north attacked, and who do you think would have control of the east if that
happened?" He asked, and I knew the answer before Leo even said it.
"Amanda," He said, and I became impatient.
I did not want to even listen to the rest of it.
We had an Ace and let her go out of pity and sentiments. Because of the stupid councilws. I
wanted to punch Ramsey.
If only he had spoken up, I would have held her by all means. We had nothing on her, and so we
had to let her go. I was d Tamia put someone on her. I kept that part to myself.
"Everyone knew no one stood a chance against the northern Army. Being fighters, Leo and Tamia
should have fought to theirst breath; what Amanda did not expect was that Tamia would refuse to
fight and give herself up. That spoiled many things because Leo remained alive.
Now that Tamia was in the north, there were limits to how we couldplicate issues between the
east and the north," he said, and I began tough from frustration. Leo was growling. His bitch had
outsmarted everyone.
"I am just a pawn in this thing. One thing I know is that the guy is a Volkov. She told me that much,
but I did not know which one. Some council members are in league with him because he promised
to make them lords when he bes King. A position their family can never attain, and it seemed
usible.
Honestly, I thought about who this guy must be. I thought it was David at first, but then I found out
he was married with children, and I doubt it is your brother, so this guy might be lying or delusional. I
do not know, but he is resourceful and has a very powerful person behind him. That is all I know,"
he said, resigning himself.

My phone rang, and it was Wilson. I was afraid of answering, but I did.
"Your Majesty, we got to the cell, and when Annika realised what we were there for, she swallowed
something, and now she is unconscious. We found a tiny capsule filled with eastern silver dust in
her hand. I believe someone gave her two. She did not get to swallow the second capsule," Kappa
Wilson said, confirming what Ramsey said.
I remembered the odd conversation Tamia spoke about between Annika and Amanda, and I was
livid.
Annika had confessed, so we could not keep her under the same condition as the other prisoners.
I wish I was King then; I would have waived her rights. She should have had silver on her to stop
the mind-linking ability. Leo was right when he said that thews do not favour our society.
Bing King was a gamble. If I knew I would win and that I would get the support I got, I would
have damned it and broken all the rules.
I punched the desk between Ramsey and me and hung up.
Suddenly what Ramsey said checked out.
I did not need him to borate any more than he already had. The woman had yed us.
"We will put a wanted ad of Amanda Richford," I said calmly.
"Why didn''t I feel the pain of her being with someone else?" Leo asked Ramsey, and heughed.
"She is an Alpha, like you, Leo; she did not reject you. She did to you what you did to your wife.
imed another man while connected to you, so you won''t feel it.
You see, we all know that once imed by our fated, we could im a chosen and transfer the
bond. The bond with the fated would remain, but it will be weak.
Have you looked at the mark on her neck? If you look closely, you will notice that there are two bites
almost in the same spot.
Your bond with Amanda was transferred to this guy, so they did not need a blue moon to im each
other. It happens.
If you find your fated and reject them, the bond transfers to the one your heart desires, but you must
have found your fated or possess a fated bond to create that connection. A few people have done it
in the past, so it isn''t news to my generation.
They had to im each other even though they weren''t ready to do it, so you will not know when
they are intimate.
They did not need the blue moon to im each other because of your existing bond with Amanda.
So your bond with her was transferred to him. She chose him.
You can easily dismiss his scent when she returns to you because she has always had it. She had
been intimate with him before you; he had marked her with his scent. They love each other deeply,"
Ramsey exined, and Leo swore.
The woman had yed all of us, and no one was the wiser. I was heartbroken. I did not know how
Tamia would feel about it knowing the woman had deliberately ruined her home for nothing. There
was no way Tamia would not take this personally. This was very bad.
"Do you know where she would be right now?" I asked him, and he shook his head.
"Must have gone into hiding. You won''t find her, your majesty. They are resourceful, and they love
each other. That much I can tell you. Even the mate bond could not stop them from getting together.
With Leo, she would be head Luna of the east and live in Tamia''s shadow for the rest of her life;
with this Volkov guy, she would be queen. It was an easy choice," he said,ughing.
"Sorry, Leo," he added, and Leo wanted to hit him, but I stopped him. Just then, Devin walked in,
and it was clear he had not heard anything Ramsey had told us.
I told him everything, and he cursed.
"Honestly, I felt it was weird she had that sh drive. Why didn''t she give it to Leo before he brought
her to the estate? I believe it was herst resort, and it worked. She tried to be a victim and yed
on Tamia''s history with Ramsey to get the sympathy she desired. The bitch," Devin said, and I was
mad.
How could we have been so stupid not to see Amanda for what she was? A mastermind.
