Chapter 111
Darius
I could not believe what Zora had just told me about Lily.
I was so mad that I knew Cremin could emerge.
I looked at my mate, and she did not seem like she was joking.
From the look in her green eyes, it took a lot of effort for her to tell me what she had just divulged.
I raised my hand, patted her head gently, and then kissed her lips. It was more to calm myself down than to tell her I was okay.
I knew I needed to be calm to handle the matter.
Lily was a big problem. If she was betraying me, then I was in trouble because she knew of my investigations, and she was helping me with one of them.
What if she was giving out the information to someone else?
I had always suspected I couldn’t trust her, but when she came, she was innocent–looking, and I thought I could have the younger sister I never
had.
I revoked her privileges when I heard all the awful things she did to the women in the harem.
I did not want to jump to conclusions, but I wanted to get up and go and find out the truth.
I was about to get up when Zora stopped me with her hand.

“I have not finished talking to you, darling. Please be calm. I hope there is a rational explanation for what I heard and saw,” She said, and I searched her eyes, my soul pleading, hoping that whatever she needed to tell me next would be easy to digest.
“Here goes,” She said and sighed.
“After the incident with Lily, I bumped into your mother.” She said, and I held my tongue. I did not want to say anything that would change the topic.
She was crying, and she requested to speak to me immediately. Of course, I went to see Kara and then returned to your mother’s room.” She said and squeezed my arm.
“Your mother explained why she left the estate in a hurry that day Abelardo was arrested, and what she went to do,” she said.
“According to her, your father had a fated called Lady Alissa
Pavlishchev,” She continued, and I exclaimed. Zora just nodded gradually and continued what she was saying.
“Your father accepted his fated and made your mother share. She did not have you then, and when the woman was pregnant, your mother left with Abelardo. Things happened, and your mother was asked to return to care for her. All the while, he tried to divorce your mother, but her family was too important for him to divorce her successfully, so he started conquering the council families and the west. He wanted to own the world and be powerful enough to overthrow the council and marry this woman. According to your mother, the woman was evil and did many mean things. Eventually, she died giving birth to her son. This was relieving to your mother, but that was the beginning of your father growing his harem and getting involved with the women in the harem. He only went for women of western descent because they reminded him of his fated. Your father realised the boy was an Alpha, so he tried to get your mother to take care of the baby, but she said no, so he sent the boy to

be cared for. She got pregnant with you, and everything became rosy after she gave birth to you, and he discovered you were an Alpha too.” She said and searched my eyes for emotions, but I made sure there was nothing in them so she would have the confidence to tell me the rest.
“When your mother left, it wasn’t an act of defiance, but to find David Pavlishchev, your half–brother, because she believed he might be the culprit. He has so much to gain if anything happens to either of you,” she said, and I knew she was right.
“Did my mother tell you his last known location?” I asked, and she shook
her head.
“Very well, I will handle it,” I said, and she smiled.
She laid down a bit, and I held her in bed until she fell asleep.
It was time to go to the only part of the mansion I never visit. The Harem. I linked Raphael to meet me there with two women from my staff.
I kept my anger under control and moved swiftly.
When I got to the common hall of the harem, the entire place was silent. I had never visited there since the women had been brought. The last I was there was when we were actively involved with the former women in the harem before I let all of them go.
Marcel, Raphael and I threw orgies there and partied all night long. Thinking of the life I led back then, I was ashamed of myself and grateful that Zora brought meaning and love back into my life because Shanon left with everything, and I was nothing but an empty shell.
Most of the ladies were looking at me seductively, and I ignored them. My eyes searched and found Lily, who smiled at me.
I motioned her to come to me, and she approached eagerly.
“Take me to your bedroom,” I said, and I heard some women gasp. I knew
