Chapter 266

Fallen But Hopeful

~Leo~

We spent the entire day preparing to leave. After breakfast, Sylvester retired to the room, and we did
not see him and Tamia until lunch.

I would lie if I said I wasn’t nervous about what would happen in the North.

I just wanted it to be over so we could live our lives. Knowing that I would be a father soon motivated
me to do more.

We decided to gather at the lounge in the evening to relax and discuss the following events. At the
same time, Amelia chose to party with the women.

On my way to the lounge, my father linked me, telling me he had something urgent to discuss with me.
I had to see him before heading there.

He was in a small living room with Grey Sullivan. I wondered where my mother and Rebecca were.

“Just the two of you?” I asked, entering the living room, and he nodded.

“Amelia invited Martha and Rebecca to hang with the ladies. They deserve to be around younger
women for a change,” My father said, laughing, and I nodded in agreement.

One thing I was sure of was that the women would have a blast. Everyone there knew how to have a
good time, even in hard times.

“Please have a seat, Leo,” my father said, and I sat on a single couch to listen to what he had to say.



“Grey has something to tell you. It might not mean much, but I implore you to listen and convey it to
your friends,” He said, and I frowned at him and looked at Grey, who was slightly nervous.

“I know you do not trust me and my wife, and that is why we kept this from all of you this morning, but
we have now confirmed it as true,” he said, and I became nervous.

My heart was beating fast because the least I wanted to hear was that we were compromised.

“The South fell yesterday,” He said, and I frowned at him.

“Word has not spread because Yuri wants it to be a surprise. But every Yuri group member has been
asked to report to Greenville,” he said and handed me his phone.

A text instructed them to report to Greenville and receive new assignments.

“Does Devin know?” I asked them, and Grey shook his head.

“Yuri is pulling all the strings at once to set things in motion, and he is doing it and ensuring word
doesn’t get out. A lot of people were imprisoned last night, Devin’s Beta inclusive.

I do not know if Yuri would kill him, but he has yet to appear in the South. He has representatives there,
and one of the representatives is one of Erik’s men,” he said, and I realised why he was looking
worried.

“Do you think Erik was lying to us?” I asked, and he shook his head.

“Grey, just tell him everything. No need to watch your words,” my father said, sounding impatient. I
guess he got the bug from my mother. She was the impatient one.

“You need to secure Erik in Hayland because a friend told me the East is next, and it will happen
soon…” He said, and I frowned at him.



“All you have control over are Hill Valley and Mountain; all the other alphas would fall within this week.
Since they have refused to join up, a kill order has been sent to eliminate them this week. Erik might
not make it past this week because of the traitors in his circle. We have told him, but he has nowhere
else to go,” Grey said, and I could see the concern in his eyes.

“So what do you suggest? He has a lab down there?” I asked, and my father nodded.

“Erik is a significant player in this. Yuri would never be at peace until he dies because of the AgK32 and
the fact that Erick controls half of the Stepanov fighting force and could make more if he likes,” My
father said and cleared his throat.

“Speak with Sylvester and take Erik to the North. Let him prepare in the North. We will lead the army in
Mountain and hold the forte here. It has been long since we’ve been in a battle, but we aren’t rusty. Be
assured Yuri will strike the East now that the South is gone, but we will be here to push back for
Mountain,” My father said, and it was a serious matter.

I stood up, acknowledging it wasn’t in my place to make such decisions. I might be head alpha of the
East, head of council, and maybe soon a Lord without an office, but this wasn’t my call to make. I still
answered to Sylvester and the Lords.

“You have to join me in the lounge and explain these things extensively so we can brainstorm there,” I
said, and Grey looked worried.

He had annoyed the Volkovs the last time; I knew he would be worried.

“They let things go easily. You should not stress yourself that much,” I told him, and he breathed a sigh
of relief.

We returned to the lounge together, and everyone acted as if having my father and Susan’s father
there was normal. They seemed relaxed about it. Sylvester looked well-rested. He deserved the rest



because he had much to do when we got to Lucland in the North. I didn’t want to be in his shoes.

Grey soon told them all he had told me, and Devin did not act surprised.

“Aren’t you the least worried for your people?” Kyle asked him; surprised by his words, he shook his
head.

“We saw it coming. I had already given Lukman directives, and I am sure he followed them accurately.
They were meant to surrender when Yuri came for them. I did not want anyone dying,” He said and
sighed.

“Why would you do that?” Sylvester asked him, realising what Devin had lost.

Devin sighed and looked at all of us.

“I might sound proud and overconfident, but I believe in this team. We have done it once, and I am sure
we can do it again. We have things that Yuri doesn’t have. We have family, love, trust and loyalty. Yuri
has led his people and devotees with fear, so they are always quick to give him up when caught. I know
we will win. If we don’t, I am willing to live in the North with my mate and raise my children quietly.
Nothing is worth dying for. The pack members would equally have a good life under Yuri, just as they
did under me. Unless he has insidious intentions towards the people, the only thing that would change
for them is leadership; why should I then require them to lay down their lives so that I remain in power?
Susan and I had discussed it, and we are fine with not being Luna and Alpha of any pack. Blessed be
the moon if we win and get back the South. If not, blessed be the moon. As long as we are alive and
we get to raise our children in peace, I am fine,” he said, and I realised that he had indeed made peace
with himself on the matter.

I doubted I could let go of the East like that, but we weren’t in the same situation. I had loyal alphas that
would risk everything to keep it intact; he had traitors easily swayed in the South. We weren’t working



with the same material.

“We will get it all back, Devin. The South has been under the Corrigans for hundreds of years. I won’t
let them take it from you.” Sylvester said with determination in his voice and looked at me.

“You need to call an eastern council meeting this evening and warn the alphas of the danger that is
coming. You and your father need to educate them on all that is happening and teach them how to fight
those things because no matter what, we have to be in the North tomorrow and set things in motion,”
Sylvester said, and I nodded.

It was an order and not an advice.

I got the message loud and clear.

“Alpha Richardo, tell Erik to transport himself, Nelson and two of his trusted scientist to Hill Valley now.
He has to ensure he gets there safely. Alexei will bring him, and I will be taking him to the North. Even
though Gordon will be arrested, he can no longer continue to stay where he is because he has been
discovered,” Sylvester said, and my father nodded. It was amazing how Sylvester took charge almost
immediately. Indeed he was raised for this.

He looked at Clay, and Clay paid attention, waiting for his orders.

“Tell Alexei to wait for Erik to arrive and help us transport Erik to Mountain tonight. He should also
secure his mate and pack members. If Yuri is going to pull the strings at once, he plans to kill everyone.
Alexei should bring Timothy too. His granddaughter is recovering from silver poisoning, so they can
move him here to be close to her. If Grey and Richardo are here, Mountain will still have some
resistance,” Sylvester pointed out, and we agreed.

“After we arrest Gordon, we will be here to help them out,” Max said, and It was the best offer we could
get. There was no way they could go wrong with three Alphas and a strong Beta. We also had Nitric



acid in Mountain, so it would work out.

“I have made arrangements with the airline company transporting us. Amelia, Clay, Alexei and I will be
the visible passengers. At the same time, the rest of you will travel in disguise as part of our crew.
Some Kappas will come along to make it believable,” I said, letting Sylvester know that I had made the
arrangements already.

He nodded and smiled, then took out his phone to make a call.

I moved away to call for an emergency meeting on my phone. It meant the meeting would hold at night,
but it was necessary because I was beginning to suspect Yuri already knew what we were planning
and was trying to delay us from acting.

Once he takes the East, he would have successfully divided the kingdom without asking.

If he pulls the strings at once, it means the attacks and eradication of the ruling families in the East will
happen at once. It meant he was willing to unleash an army of weirdos on every pack in the East
simultaneously; it also meant they were already in the East awaiting orders. No matter what, it was
paramount that we act immediately. I looked at Andrew while on the phone and saw Clay staring at
him. We had to keep an eye on him to be sure he could be trusted.
