My insides were calmer after what I did with Zora, but I could not shake off the feeling that everything was falling apart and slipping away.
I did not want to be wicked like my father, but these people made it more challenging
I wondered why I could not have a peaceful life.
One that involves me ruling in peace and raising a family.
My mate was expecting, and our wedding was around the corner, so why couldn’t I have an everyday life?
I looked at Zora and did not know what to tell her.
She deserved better. She deserved peace, and here I was, dealing with one problem or the other. When does it stop?
The bastards had hidden so much that they were hard to find.
I just needed to know who was behind all this, and there would be peace, but the people troubling my life and my people were wise and hidden.
I looked at Zora, and as much as her suggestion made sense, I doubted it would work. These people needed a firmer hand than the law to sit down.
As much as I was against my father, there was a reason our bloodline went from kingship to lordship and maintained it. It was because, during the brief democratic period, too many wars were fought because of greedy regions and leaders. So they had to reinstate the old order, but instead of a king, we were given lordship, forcing us to share our power with the

council. Going back to those wicked times would mean war for many of
- us.
“I don’t think that would work, Zora,” I said, telling her the truth, and she sat next to me and touched my hand.
“Darling, I know you are a kind man,” She said and sighed.
“But there are times you will need to be ruthless and wicked. This is one of those,” She said, and I was confused by her words.
“If you do not do what I am about to tell you, I will carry it out on your behalf.” She said, and Cremin was curious because I could feel her determination through our little bond.
“Whoever is messing with you knows you are kind and patient. People may call you the Dark Lord Alpha, but you only fight when provoked. Because of this, they will avoid provoking you, but they will run circles around you.” She said, and I wanted her to get to the point.
“So, what do you suggest?” I asked, and she nodded.
“Who are these people that raised this petition?” She asked me, and I sighed.
“Alpha of Keev, Grizlo, Haddad…” I said, and she interrupted me.
“May I have a list, please?” She asked, and I frowned, wondering why
“Tell me why,” I asked her, and she smiled.
“They upset my man. We had a lot of fun. I am still looking forward to that rugby match, and I want to know why Casey wanted to see you today. We made love yesterday, and you claimed me partially. Basically, things have been great, and they have been looking up, then this comes up, and you are down. I think it is time to visit those clowns and tell them what they are messing with. I will do it in a way that does not lead to you or

- me. But I need loyal Brians and enforcers to get this done,” she said, and I
wondered.
“Someone is motivating them to work against you. We must motivate them to work in your favour and lead us to the culprits.” She spelt out, and I understood her angle.
“The method would yield results, but it would be brutal,” she explained After hearing Zora say it, I realised it was essential to act quickly. Killing the movement that fast would buy us time to catch the culprits. Gezel would be caught soon, and she could lead us to the others. As slow as may seem, we were closing in on them, and the good part is that they did not know it.
I looked at Zora and smiled.
“I will compile that list and give you Brians and enforcers that you need. but you have to promise me you will not engage physically,” I said, and she smiled.
“Bryce was motivated to work against you. I would just use the same method. Until the petition they pushed forward is reversed, their loved ones would not be returned to them.” She said, and I realised that Zora could be dangerous if she wanted. As much as I disliked the method, it was necessary, and I fully supported it.
“If I can get the list by tomorrow, this matter should die down next week, and we can move on with our investigation.” She said. I knew it was best to inform Theo and Marcel about the idea so they could relax.
“Are you alright now?” She asked, and I smiled. It was uplifting. One thing I did not want to tell Zora was that after we do this, I plan on wearing the Dark Lord Alpha’s shoes and being unapologetic about it.
I had been nice because I did not want Zora to view me as a monster, but these people had crossed the line with me. I won’t be so talkative with them again, especially the council, who are insular and have outdated

opinions about how things should be run.
Zora stood up.

“I need to clean up and replace my underwear so we can leave,” She said, and I smacked her cute butt while she walked away.
linked my friends to join me, and they responded in about ten minutes.
I did not need to wonder why it took that long. They were just as unnerved as I was. No one wanted war.
It used to be easier when we had no relationship, but we had mates now, and Theo and I would be fathers soon; we would like to be around for our mates and our children. Getting up to go to war did not sound as easy and wise as it used to.
Theo was the first to arrive at my office, followed by Marcel. They were a lot calmer, and they wondered why I was laughing.
When I told them Zora’s Idea, Marcel was the first to laugh. He loved it.
“She is right, you know, Bryce was really motivated. I am sure this move would motivate anyone. I believe it is better than the other option. I advocate for democracy, but we know what these wolves would do with it. If we do not find the people doing this and stop them, it will be worse.” Theo said, and I agreed with him.
We decided we would secretly compile the list of the people we needed to deal with so we could reverse the problem.
