Chapter 251: 89 Back to Mountain


    ~Leo~


    I noticed the van taking the women back to Mountain, rushing through the bumps on the road. The


    road out of Brentwood was bumpy, so we were close to them.


    I wondered what the chaos was about. We had just been victorious on the battlefield. Why were


    they speeding?


    "What is going on," I linked to Amelia. The van was close enough for me to reach her.


    "Mirable is badly injured. We have stabilised her, but we have to get to Mountain in time," She


    replied, and I was worried.


    The only reason Timothy was still hanging on was because of his granddaughter. She was the only


    rtive he had left. I wished the man had left with her instead of telling her to remain with us.


    Mirabel did not know our routine, so she was bound to get hurt.


    "Tell the Kappa to hurry once you get on the good road; we will catch up," I linked Amelia, and she


    was silent. We were almost on the good road.


    We could not speed because the van carrying Inkabod was behind us. I linked the Kappa driving


    the van to get in front of us so we could keep an eye on it.


    The Kappa driving our van slowed down to allow the Van with Inkabod to overtake us. I watched the


    van with the women speed off.


    I prayed Mirabel would make it, or she would be another life Yuri had wasted for his selfish reasons.


    I agreed with Sylvester when he said the Stepanovs had caused too much damage to be owed


    retribution.


    There was silence in the van while we rode back to Mountain. I could feel the questions, doubts and


    excitement which hung in the air. All I was grateful for was that our n worked, and we did not


    spare any of them. My heart was d, and I was hopeful. I could not wait to tell my father how it


    went.


    "Does this mean I can return to Brent with my members?" Kyle asked, and Sylvester cleared his


    throat.


    "Not yet, Kyle; until Yuri has been eliminated, it will be wise you keep your head down. We might


    have won this battle, but Inkabod is ackey, and the war is still on. The only things we have figured


    out here are that our theories checked out, and we have a fighting chance. Do not get carried away


    by this. We still have a long way to go; hopefully, Inkabod will give us something we can work with,"


    Sylvester said, and we all agreed with him.


    "Are we not going to go after Erik now that we know we can defeat them?" Vino asked, and I knew


    he was still pumped up from the battle. Who would have guessed he could hold his own in a fight? I


    was impressed and proud of him, but he did not have to know that part.


    "Let''s not get too confident. Erik has something Yuricks, which is brains," Andrew said, and I


    wanted tough at him because his hatred for Erik was still tant.


    "Yeah yeah, you will get your day in the sun, Andrew," David said, and we allughed because we


    knew Andrew was most particr about going after Erik.


    "Honestly, Andrew, you heard Leo''s daddy? Your father asked for it," Theo said, pointing it out to


    Andrew.


    It was silly of the guy to still be mad at Erik, knowing his father was guilty of the crime he was


    punished for. That was highly partial of him.


    "So, who told Inkabod that you wereing?" Devin asked me, and I sighed.


    "One thing we know is that the leak came from Brentwood. They would know the King and lords


    wereing if the leak came from Mountain. Inkabod came ready to fight me. He did not know all


    of you were there until the fight had started. It means Timothy has a traitor in his pack," I said, and


    Sylvester nodded; I figured he already knew that part and only wanted me to say it.


    "That Timothy bastard," Kyle said, and Dominic shut him up.


    "Use your brain for once, Kyle. This dumb shit is getting old," he said, sounding impatient.


    Kyle was hurt, but Dominic could not care less.


    "If Timothy did it, you think he would leave Mirable to fight with us? The woman was badly injured,


    so our mates rushed back ahead of us. To get her the help she needs. That girl is his only surviving


    rtive," Theodore said, pointing out Kyle''s stupidity. I figured Linda had linked him to inform him of


    Mirabel''s predicament.


    "Moreover, if it were Timothy, he would have called to inform Inkabod that we were there; after all,


    he saw all of us before he left," Marcel said, clearing up Timothy as a suspect.


    It clicked that I had sent Brentwood members to Hill Valley. Alexei''s hold on Hill Valley is why Yuri


    could note to Mountain. If Yuri had an informant in Brentwood, I was putting Alexei in danger of


    an attack.


    Yuri would dare to move against his nephew regardless of their rtedness. The bastard was sick


    like that.


    "Kappa, hand me a phone," I told the Kappa sitting in the passenger''s seat in front. He opened the


    glovepartment and handed me a phone.


    "What is the matter, Leo?" Vino asked me, and I figured the guy was pretty chatty with me, but I let it


    be. He had earned it. We worked well together, but I would stay on the fence with him. It was fun


    watching him try.


    "We just sent Brentwood members to Hill Valley. Alexei is the only reason Yuri cannot attack


    Mountain directly. If Brentwood has treacherous informants, then we have sent those spies to Hill


    Valley too and opened Alexei up," I said, and it clicked in their eyes.


    "So what should we do?" Max asked.


    "Send them back to theirnd," Sylvester said, looking at me, and I knew it was an order. I nodded


    and called Alexei''s office in Hill Valley.


    "Hello," Alexei answered.


    "It''s Leo," I said because it wasn''t my phone number. I heard him sigh with relief.


    "Leo, thank goddess. I hope all of you are fine?" He said. It was clear he was worried.


    "Without a scratch," I said, and heughed.


    "Alexei, Brentwood had informants that sold their Alpha out. I want you to send them back to their


    land. Ensure you can ount for every single one of them and force them to return to theirnd so


    they do not expose you to danger. We do not have time to worry or dig for informants, but we


    cannot let it spread. Send them back. It is an order from the King," I said, and he was silent.


    "What about old man Timothy?" he asked, and there was concern in his voice, and I sighed.


    "I do not think it would be wise to send Timothy back there. Let his beta lead the people while he


    remains," I said, and he sighed. I hung up, and Sylvester looked at me.


    "He feels it is too much for the old man, so Timothy would remain while the beta would go back to


    Brent with the people," I told Sylvester, and he approved.


    The least we needed to worry about was who sold out. It was time to question this Inkabod freak so


    we could know where Yuri was and attack him.


    I did not want to y defence anymore. The offence was the right way to go. A surprise sneak


    attack was what we needed to end these people. They were vulnerable if unprepared. Had Yuri


    beenmunicating with us, I would have sent him a boastful letter to inform him of our well-


    deserved victory.


    We finally arrived at Mountain. There was a silence there that made me wonder what had


    happened. My parents were at the entrance when we got to the pack house. My father''s eyes


    showed relief, and my mother was happy.


    We descended the vehicle, and I went to them.


    "Your wives arrived before you guys. udia is helping Mirabel. She is badly injured. They are at


    the clinic," My mother said, checking my body, and I felt like I was a child again.


    "Where are the pack members?" I asked my father, and he sighed.


    " I ordered them to go underground. I did not want casualties, and I did not want to risk more


    informants. There is just so much an informant can do in an underground bunker. They wouldn''t


    have any more information to give, and knowing Yuri isn''t after the people but the leaders, he won''t


    go after them in the bunkers," My father said, and I agreed with his insight.


    "Tell me, did our theories work well?" He asked, and I nodded.


    My parents high-fived each other, and it was odd.


    "Wished we stayed to enjoy the action. But I did not want to leave this ce unprotected." My father


    said, and I was grateful for them.


    "Inkabod must have been surprised," My mother said, and I shook my head.


    "He knew I wasing. But he did not know the King and lords would be there, and he did not


    know we woulde prepared," I said, and my fatherughed.


    "Brentwood has spies, too? Yuri is extra careful," He said, figuring it out, and I nodded.


    "Anyway, I have called Grey; he and his wife areing. They are dying to meet Susan and their


    soon-to-be-inw, but above all, they want to join in the fight. They have a copy of Yuri''s ns, and


    I know it would go a long way to helping us figure out his true intentions and how to get him.


    "How about Yuri''s location? That would be perfect," I told my father, and he smiled at me.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    "If I knew his location, I would have said we should go there. Yuri does not trust anyone. He is like a


    ghost. I honestly wonder how he ns to rule hiding in ces," he said, and I figured Yuri wouldn''t


    be that easy to find.


    "Anyway, something I have been able to sort out is that I have organised a meeting with Erik. I told


    his right-hand man the King''s offer, and he is open to meeting up with you, Leo. Even if he wanted


    to see the King and Lords, I would say no, for security purposes, but I will advise you and one of the


    Lords to see him as head of the council and member of the royal family.


    It would make him feel more respected and appreciated. He is sensitive like that. Whether we like it


    or not, we will still need this army.


    Yuri has stronger men than whatever you faced in Brentwood. Defeating real Stepanovs would be


    more challenging than you did tonight. They are faster and resilient; some of them, like Alexei, y,


    and Amelia, can fight our Alphamand." He told me, and I wondered why he did not tell us


    before we went to the battle.


    "Why didn''t you say this initially," Sylvester asked, a bit annoyed, and my father bowed his head. I


    knew he meant well.


    "I did not want you to overthink things before acting," he said, and I remembered that he was a risk


    taker too.


    I shook my head, David and Dominic Laughed, and the rest were indifferent, and we all entered the


    packhouse.


    My mother said she would head to the clinic where the women were. I wanted to shower andy on


    my bed a bit.


    I went to my room, and I linked Amelia toe to the room. We needed to rest a bit before we


    continued our mission.
