Chapter 227-65 A Complete Reunion (Book 2)


    ~Leo~


    Devin was a stupid man. I do not care what he thought, but he was a fool to use Susan


    carelessly. He was a fool to expect otherwise.


    If I were her, I would run.


    Even though I was head of the council, Devin and I could only make little changes. She was right to


    have run away. They wouldn''t have bothered to investigate the matter, which would be a majority


    thing.


    The Sullivans did not have a good name. There was no way they would spare her. She had also


    watched the execution of her family. That would mess with anyone. Devin was stupid to even


    discuss the matter with her without investigating first.


    I believe Susan''s mental state was fragile, and she did not deserve to be bombarded with such


    questions and usations. Devin had a lot to learn about rtionships.


    "Why would he be that stupid?" Amelia asked, a bit pissed at Devin.


    "I do not know what my brothers and Cousin told you two, but using her like that was wrong.


    Yes, the scenario he described was suspicious, but he should have investigated and gotten all the


    cards before asking her." Amelia said, annoyed I could tell she was worried too.


    We dismissed the kappas and omegas, then headed back in. I had secretly sent my Gamma and


    guards to the airport to wait for our northern guests. Their arrival was meant to be a pleasant


    surprise for Amelia. But as things were, Devin and Susan''s issues had ruined her good mood.


    While we walked, I held Amelia''s hand to calm her down. She was distraught for Susan. She had


    only met the woman yesterday and had taken to her very quickly.


    "Why are you so scared for her, Moonlight," I asked her, opening the door to our bedroom, and she


    walked in and sighed.


    "While we were in the kitchen yesterday, we discussed many things. Her emotions run deep, Leo.


    She isn''t like me. I just let things roll off me by focusing on the good. She focuses heavily on the


    bad, and I do not think her life has been pleasant, either. It was insensitive of Devin to use her of


    wrong.


    I would have run way too, Leo. She lived in Pridewood and left the very night the ce was


    attacked. It did sound suspicious, but it wasn''t suspicious enough, Leo.


    They had broken up before then. She could have as well gone any other ce. It is only a fool that


    will conspire to wipe out a pack and go to visit the head alpha of the region the very night it


    happened. What would have been her gain? She was better off running to the west then returning


    after the ordeal.


    Guilty people aren''t stupid. Informants or conspirators aren''t stupid. They are always extra careful,


    sometimes too cautious, that they get caught in the process.


    On the surface, it sounds like she is guilty, but then when you think about it, she must be an idiot to


    act that way if she is the one. Only an idiot would set a pack up for destruction and go to the lead


    alpha the same night.


    It was a coincidence. Devin should even be grateful that the coincidence happened. She would


    have been part of the murdered or injured people. The Sullivans were so wicked that they would


    have killed their only child. It is unfortunate." She said, and I pulled her in for a hug so she could


    rx.


    Although what Amelia said was right, Susan still looked guilty. If taking the south was their primary


    purpose, staying with Devin in Greenville would make much sense. All they need is an informant in


    Greenville, and they can attack. Once Greenville is down, they can take over the south.

    If they find Susan, I n to closely monitor her just in case she is the informant. I wouldn''t want


    anyone delivering Mountain to the enemy.


    I kept my thoughts to myself because it seemed Amelia liked her. I also hoped that I was wrong.


    Amelia wrapped her arms around my waist and ced her head against my chest. I stroked her


    back gently, and she took a deep breath and exhaled. We had more significant issues, and Devin''s


    issue with Susan wasn''t a part of them. I hoped he found her soon, but Yuri and Erik were an issue.


    "Are you ready to meet your other brother and cousin?" I asked her, and she broke the hug, looked


    at me and nodded.


    Weposed ourselves before leaving the room. We headed to the dining room and found y,


    Alexei and Andrew helping themselves to the food. They must have been starving.


    The instant we entered, they stopped.


    I was d I told Macy to take over the cooking. I hoped Amelia wouldn''t be mad, but I doubted she


    would want to cook for all our guests.


    Alexei looked at Amelia and smiled, y looked a bit nervous, and I could not read Andrew''s face.


    y left what he was doing and rushed to her immediately. He stood in front of her and essed


    her.


    "Amelia," he said; from how he said it, it was obvious he had seen her before, but he would be


    introducing himself to her for the first time.


    "I am y Newton Ivanov," he said, and she smiled at him.


    "We look alike, Leo," she linked me excitedly, and I chuckled. y pulled her into a hug.


    "It is good to be able to speak to you finally. Thest time I saw you, you were crossing into the east


    from Gad," he said, and she broke away and looked at him.


    "That was you?" she asked, and he smiled and nodded. She hugged him tight, and I wondered


    what had happened at the crossing.


    "You saved my life," she said, and he rubbed her back and chuckled.


    "Knowing father gave his life to protect you, it would be stupid for us to let them win," he said to her,


    and I was curious.


    "What happened at the crossing?" I asked, and y looked at me, still hugging his sister.


    "The three of us have watched and protected Amelia from the shadows. Andrew did most of it, but


    we stepped in once it was getting to the time he could no longer help as much.


    Erik was secretly hunting her, so she got in a couple of fights where Andrew would swoop in and


    help either by himself or with his wolves.


    By the time she left Gad, Andrew couldn''t do much, so Alexei and I had to watch her. By then,


    Alexei was upied with his fiancé and their trouble in Hill valley, so he had to watch her


    asionally. I did not rescind until she crossed into Hand. By then, she was in the clear. I sent


    trackers to watch her for me.


    At the same time, I went to secure a pack to start an army and prevent the south from being


    overrun. By the time Alexei and I had sessfully taken over the packs, we could not take Amelia


    because the reports we got said she was happy here. I am d to see it was so."


    They finally broke the hug, and Andrew came to introduce himself. After which we sat to eat.


    "I will be heading home today," Alexei announced, and I nodded. He was married; we could not


    keep him longer than necessary.


    "Alia is pregnant, and I hate leaving her by herself. Would Andrew stay with you, or should hee


    with me?" He asked, and I looked at Amelia. The choice was hers.


    "Do you want Andrew to remain with us?" I linked her, and she nodded quickly.


    "Amelia wants him to stay. So he stays," I said, and they allughed at how I put it.


    "I will be here too, just in case theye for Mountain," y said, and as much as I loved his


    gesture, I wondered why he did not want to return to the south.


    "Are you not securing the south anymore?" I asked him, and he nodded.


    "Yuri isn''t a monster like Erik; he would not attack a pack I have taken, but the south has already


    been overrun.


    Most of the Alpha there are joining Yuri fast. I just did not want to tell Devin yet. In a month, the


    south would no longer be under him. We can''t save it, but we can still save the east because, unlike


    the south, none of the eastern Alphas has been treacherous enough to join up.


    It means we have a fighting chance in the east. Even if a deal is struck with Yuri to help eliminate


    Erik, we must ensure we have something strong to bargain with. We can''t offer or give him what he


    already has.


    Then we will have no bargaining chip. It is best we focus on battles that can be won, not those that


    have already been lost. I will advise that you tell your friend to make ns to evacuate Greenville


    because that might be Yuri''s next stop." He said, and I could understand why he would not tell me


    these things in the presence of Devin. They did not seem to agree much.


    Hearing Yuri would attack Greenville also strengthened my suspicion towards Susan, but I needed


    to be sure before pointing it out. I knew Devin wouldn''t take it well. I hope there is life and peace for


    us at the end of all this.


    I nodded and thanked him for the heads up, but I was secretly worried that the King and lords were


    on their way to the Mountains. Thest thing I wanted to do was set them up. Having all of us in the


    same ce might make us easy targets. I kept my fears to myself and ate quietly.


    Alexei left after breakfast. I sent two warriors to apany him, and he was grateful for the kind


    gesture.


    I decided to discuss the cult with Andrew while waiting for my guests to arrive.


    We had a lot to do but little time and were too handicapped to be confident.


    Either way, it would not be a clear win. If we get lucky, we will end up with two Kings instead of one


    mad King. I doubt the Volkovs would agree, but I knew they were not power-hungry to risk lives and


    peace.
