Chapter 190

&123;Book 2&125; Chapter 29 – The Coin ~Sylvester~

After asking Tamia if she and Amelia had returned, I stared at the strange coin on my desk and
examined it with gloves. I wondered why wolves would keep something dangerous to them.

I wondered what was happening in the east and the deal with Leo’s pack.

We had enjoyed peace for over a year now, and I hoped it would be forever, but the little complaints
that have come up recently didn’t seem like it.

First, Maxwell Blanch and his fight with Alexie, the nobody that took over his pack. I knew there was
more to it because Devin complained of the same thing. Why couldn’t we have peace for once?

Looking at the coin, I knew only one person could explain it. The writing was ancient, and it wasn’t
something I could easily place. It did not look like currency spent at any time, and the ranking stars on
the back indicated ‘Delta’ did not make sense. Why would anyone use silver to hold their ranks?

Only one person could explain what the coin was, Marcel’s father, Lucas.

The man had been bored since he returned. He had gotten back with his mate, but there was sadness
in his eyes. I guess the fact that he had killed his best friends, who were also his distant cousins, would
haunt him for the rest of his life.

He was lonely even though he tried to hide it.

I imagined what I would do without Marcel and Theodore and knew I would be just as miserable.
Maybe not as bleak as he was because I had made more friends and built connections, but I knew
what he was going through. I understood it.



The fact that they died by his hands worsened his depression. It was a pain he would never heal from,
no matter how hard the people around him tried. The truth was, he was better off dead with them.

I expected he would be overzealous about helping with this task, so I discussed it with Marcel before
involving his father.

I linked Marcel to come to my office, and he said he was on his way.

I looked at the time, and it was three in the afternoon.

Usually, this was when I closed from the office to spend time with my wife and children, but this coin
thing would take my time, and I knew it.

I was willing to sacrifice today, so I could have peace tomorrow. I hoped it wouldn’t be anything serious
because we all need peace.

While I waited for Marcel to come, a call came through on my phone, and I answered immediately,
knowing it had to be someone dear because it was my personal line.

“Hello,” I said, and there was silence before the voice mustered the courage to speak.

“Sylvester, it’s Vino,” I heard my brother’s voice and froze.

He had been gone for four months, and no one knew where he was. I pretended that I wasn’t worried,
but I was. I had sent people to search for him to no avail.

“Where the hell have you been, Vino? We have been looking for you. David and Dominic have been
travelling searching. I would have joined in, too, if I wasn’t king. Why would you just disappear like that?
Four months Vino. Why?” I asked him, and he sighed.



“I am sorry, Sylvester. Honestly, I am, but I needed space. Not everyone heals quickly, you know. I
needed time away,” He said, and I pinched the bridge of my nose, frustrated because he was talking
about Amanda. Amanda had committed suicide, where she was kept five months ago, and even
though he tried to hide it, I knew it got to him. Honestly, as wicked as she was, none of us was ready to
kill her because of the triplets, but her selfishness never changed, and she chose to end things on her
terms.

“So when are you coming home?” I asked him, and he sighed.

“Until I prove myself to you, Sylvester. I can’t come and sit around as if I did nothing wrong. I sat there
on the council and let them run circles around you. I am just as guilty as they are. I am on a mission to
redeem myself,” he said, and I became scared because whatever he was saying did not sound good.

He had three daughters with him. Other than the two nannies that followed him, he was alone. Why
would he put himself in such a precarious situation?

“All is forgiven, Vino. You have nothing to prove to me or anyone, not even yourself. Just come back. If
you want to make yourself useful, I have a job for you in the east. I am sure you will like the
assignment.” I said, and he paused.

“What assignment?” He asked, and I knew I had tickled his curiosity.

I hoped there wouldn’t be anything serious in the east, but I would make it sound interesting enough to
tickle his curiosity and bring him home.

“Some silver-immune Alphas taking over packs in the east and south,” I said, and he was silent.

“No way, Sylvester, there is no such thing,” He said, and I laughed.



“Apparently, there is. Why don’t you come home and help me solve this mystery? I will take your
participation as penance. Tamia misses the girls, and I am sure Nicole and Katya would love to help
too. My mother wasn’t happy that you took them with you. They deserve a home, Vino, and you need a
job of which I have just given you one. Will you please return?” I said, and he paused a while.

“I will take the first flight back from Gad,” he said, and I wondered what he was doing in Gad.

“What are you doing in Gad?” I asked him.

“Keeping an eye on Alpha Sean. There have been some serious illegal takeovers in the west that the
council isn’t really aware of. Leo brought it up several times, but Sean said they were pack members of
Alphas tried for treason.

I checked it out, and he was right, but the takeovers’ formation and concentration baffled me the most.

While some are actually what he says they are, others are alpha challenges of packs that share
borders with the east and south.

I think it is a secret activity. I know I sound crazy and might just be overthinking things, but I think it was
worth looking into.

Alpha Jake Brighton has been spared because his pack shares a border with Devin’s pack. I do not
know why. The baffling part of all this is that the three alphas that have taken up packs that share the
border with the east and south are new alphas, and I am hearing rumours that they are Delta breeds. I
haven’t checked it out yet.

I can’t explain it to you, but something is off. The other western takeovers are just as Sean has
described, but these ones are different. I am still investigating it, but I will come home tomorrow.



Once Leo’s matter is concluded, I will return because I think I am on to something,” He explained, and
he did not have to explain any further than he had.

What he said did sound like he was on to something.

Leo had complained bitterly about the sudden inflow of displaced persons to the east and how they
were overcrowding the system there.

I just hoped this inflow of people was actually displaced people, not people like Alexie.

Vino said goodbye, and we both hung up. I composed myself, and Marcel walked in. His shirt had baby
food, and I knew he was with his son, Marvin.

“Sorry I pulled you away from family time,” I apologised, and he smiled at me.

“Whatever it is must be serious because you should be with Harper and Liam, too,” he said, and I was
grateful that he wasn’t angry.

“So what is it?” he asked, and I showed him the coin.

“Leo found this in his woods,” I said and told him all Leo told me about the attack in his woods.

“He looked at the coin and was confused.

“Why would wolves have silver coins with ranks on them?” he asked, and I nodded.
