Chapter 254

Inkabod’s interrogation

~Leo~

Once Casper was done preparing the prisoner for torture and questioning, we headed towards the
venue.

We were excited, and the game Sylvester set in motion was part of it. I wondered whose theory would
check out. I hoped it would be ours because it would suck to be stuck with kitchen duties for a week.
Like Avery, I liked good food, and I doubted we could come up with anything palatable.

We entered the warehouse where the torture and questioning chamber was situated.

The women and my parents were led to sit in a room beside the chamber. A glass wall separated the
room from the chamber, and the women could see through it. It helped them see what was happening
in the torture chamber, but the people in the torture chamber would not see the people in the other
room; instead, the glass functioned as a mirror to them. It helped us observe interrogations in secret
without the knowledge of the prisoner.

Inkabod was pinned on a round wood resting against the wall with only his underwear on. He looked
afraid and worried, and he kept his eyes focused on Andrew and Clay. I guess he was trying to plead
their heritage.

“It is an abomination for a Stepanov to team up with a Volkov against their own,” he said, short of
breath, and I knew Casper must have had him beaten up. He seemed all right, but his looks didn’t fool
me.



Aurora had done a number on him by taking part of his arm. It was amazing. He still wanted to live,
knowing he would be useless.

“Do you not know Leonardo Albert is a Volkov,” he said to Andrew and Clay.

“His ancestor Patrick Volkov had an affair with a woman from our clan,” he said, and Kyle went and
punched him in the face. At least Inkabod saved me the stress of explaining my lineage to Sylvester,
but Kyle’s punch was needed.

‘We did not come here for history lessons, arsehole. We came here for answers, and you will give
them,” Kyle said, and I was surprised by the amount of Rrage Kyle harboured.

“Volkovs would always betray Stepanovs at the end because they feel superior to us. Remember my
words when it happens. History has …” Inkabod said, and Kyle punched him again.

“I bet you heard me the first time dickhead,” He said, and Casper came to feed Inkabod Silver.

There was no way we could get ahead with this if his healing ability was still working at the normal rate.

Inkabod was difficult at first, but a couple of punches from Kyle and Casper did the job, and they were
able to introduce the Silver into his system.

‘Now we want you to tell us what Yuri’s plans are and where he is,” Sylvester finally asked, speaking to
Inkabod.

Inkabod became tight-lipped, and Kyle did us the honour of punching him a couple of times.

“I would say you should save some fun for me, Kyle, but you seem to be doing an awesome job with
the douchebag,” Devin said.

I knew Devin had it in for Inkabod, too, because of all that had happened in the South.



“I do not know where Yuri is,” Inkabod finally confessed, and Kyle punched him in the stomach.

‘It is best you kill me because I know you won’t believe me. I can tell you what I know of his plans, but I
cannot give you his location. He is like a ghost and only trusts himself,” He said, repeating the same
thing my parent said. I knew there was a possibility he was telling the truth so I am interveined.

“Tell us his plans and how far he has gone,” I finally said.

“You broke a bit too easy for a trained soldier. I bet you are planning on misleading us,” David said,
observing what we almost dismissed, and Inkabod laughed.

“My life is forfeit. Because I failed to secure the East for Yuri, he will send men after me to eliminate
me. He does not leave any loose ends. This way, I would have hit him where it hurts before he finds
and kills me,” He said, and I did not know if he was telling the truth or lying. There was also no way we
could figure it out.

“I want the truth,” Sylvester said with his alpha command, and I saw Inkabod’s discomfort in his eyes.
The command got to him, but he wanted to fight it. He was trying to speak through it.

‘I am telling the truth,’ He confessed, and even though that should be enough, We were not going to
take it seriously until we were sure.

“Very well, tell us of his plans,” Sylvester ordered him sternly, and Inkabod coughed, but this time blood
exited his mouth. I guess Kyle did a number on his inside.

“lay off the guy a bit,” I linked Kyle because Inkabod won’t be helpful dead. If Silver slowed his healing
down, we could not afford him to be over-injured.

“Yuri has a strong alliance in the South. His plan is to take over the South and East.



He has strong partners there, but Erik keeps countering him. Erik has gone into hiding because Yuri is
searching for him.

Yuri plans to take over both regions and install himself as King. Right now, the South has been taken
over with the help of the late Nicolas Sullivan. But now that all Yuri’s powerful allies are no more, he
has been forced to carry out his plan openly,” He explained.

“So where is he now in his plan, and what affects us?” I asked him, and he sighed.

“If I tell you the truth, you must promise to protect me,” He said, and I frowned at him. Something
faltered in his eyes.

“The only reason most of us are helping is that we do not fit in this world. Dimitri’s law hangs over our
heads, and we want our freedom badly. I disagree with his views but must survive, so I did my best to
appease him.

Yuri does not plan to settle alone for the East and South. He plans to eliminate Erik and the entire
Volkov line and take over as the only King. He has a list of all the Volkov descendants.

Joan Clayman has given him the full detailed account of every Volkov in existence and where they live.

She has also been trying to get the top Northern families to join up, but the result of the last uprising
has made people scared.

I am not in the inner circle, but our mandate is to take over packs and seize lands. Now that I have
fallen, another man named Erin Petrova will be taking over from me to take the east.

They would sack Hayland in a few days because we learned Erik is hiding there.

That is all I know, I swear,” he said, and all I could pick from this was Joan’s name. I wondered if that
was why she kept sending her daughter to the East. Leah was just trying too damn hard.



“How long has Joan been in this group?” I asked him.

“Her father was the one that initiated her. They thought she would get into the Volkov family as a wife,
but it didn’t work out, so she had to function via other means,” He said, and I remembered the last time
I spoke to her.

I had threatened her. I had told her to keep her daughter away from Amelia and me, or I won’t be a
gentleman about it, and I would have her removed from the council and her family’s noble status
stripped.

“The attack in the north, was that Joan?” I asked, and he nodded quickly.

“She was supposed to invite everyone, including the King and queen. She promised Yuri that they
would honour the invitation. Unfortunately, only two royals honoured that invitation. They were
supposed to eliminate all the royals that night. She had called Yuri to inform him that only two Royal
attended, but by then, Yuri had given the order to attack. By the time Yuri called me to recall the men, it
was already too late,” Inkabod explained, and I balled my fist in anger.

“What is her gain in all this?” Marcel asked, sounding very angry.

I could understand his rage; Avery was pregnant.

“I do not know that part; maybe you should ask her,” Inkabod said, and I knew we wouldn’t get more
than we had already gotten from him.

“We will investigate to be sure your information checks out. If it does, I will let you go; if not, I will kill
you,” Sylvester said, and Inkabod nodded. His compliance and eagerness to live piqued my curiosity.

“Why do you want to live so badly?” I asked, and he sighed.



“Cause I have a daughter and a mate in Grizlo; I promised to go home when all this is over. I can’t let
my daughter grow up without her father,” he confessed, and Devin went and punched him.

“Yet you massacred people in Pridewood,” He said, and Inkabod shook his head.

“That was Erin, not me. I do not kill people; I just force them to leave. Besides, I have no choice. If I do
not do what Yuri wants, he will go after my family. The man is sick, and he is a tyrant. You have to
understand most of the Stepanovs helping him are not doing it of their own free will. Once Yuri is gone,
everyone will return to their quiet lives,” he said, and the look in his eyes said he wasn’t lying.

Alice was indeed stupid to think he would mate with her. He was just using her.

“You do not kill people, yet you wanted to eliminate Alice,” I said, and he nodded.

“Yuri said she should not be allowed to live, so she does not talk. Anyone that is no longer useful is
usually eliminated.” He said. It sounded like the kind of sick method Larry used in his time.

“Very well, we will check it out. Before we leave you, we have one last question,” David said, and I
wondered what he wanted to ask.

“How did you know Leo was coming to Brentwood?” He said, and some of us chuckled while Sylvester
Marcel and I maintained a straight face. It was a very odd question, but it was necessary. The bet
aside, we needed to know the informants.

“I knew Devin had arrested Alice, and I knew she would talk; I also knew Timothy relied too much on
Leo for everything, so I just startled him a bit, dropped my name and told him I would be back.

I knew he would call you, Leo, and you would want to catch me for answers. Andrew was with you, so
he would have told you our methods. I expected you to come prepared for a fight with Twenty-five



people, but you came prepared for the real thing. I must admit, I thought I had outsmarted you. I guess
you aren’t to be messed with after all,” he said, and we all began to chuckle.

Inkabod might think it was his words that made us laugh, but the horror registered on

Dominic’s face while Inkabod explained his reasons to us was epic.

A week of bad food could not be that bad. We needed to learn our way around the kitchen quickly. The
Women had won.
