Chapter 92
I know Darius is trying to be kind, but someone has to be stern, keep an eye open, and ears to the ground. He might be suffering a spillover of something from his father’s time. I am not sure, but some of us old Alphas know of the power
struggle between the six ruling houses of the north,” He said, and I absorbed every word and then used that opportunity to ask him to elaborate.
“Do you mind telling me about the power struggle?” I asked, and he sighed.
“Let’s start with Nellie Hand,” He said, and my stomach
churned.
“She is a nice woman, wasn’t treated well by her family and her mate, but she can be vindictive.” He said, and he noticed
my countenance.
“Is there an issue?” he asked, and I shook my head
“Nothing, but I would like to know more about her, and you seem to be in the best position to tell me since you experienced when she was in power,” I said, and he laughed.
“There is nothing special about her. She wasn’t so bright. That was why Collier preferred his fated to her,” he said, and I was in shock.
No one ever mentioned that Collier had a fated or that Nellie had to share him with his fated.
“A fated?” I asked the man, and he nodded.

“It was a well–kept secret. Nellie is a member of the Belyaev family, so no one would dethrone her. His fated’s name was Lady Alissa Pavlishchev. She was from a small merchant family in Gad.
Nellie would not share her title even though the Lord was and still is allowed to have more than one Lady. So she always ensured the woman was presented as one of his whores.
Collier and Nellie fought about it often, but when the Belyaevs threatened to divide the north, Collier had to let comply. Hence, why Collier became power–hungry and a
monster.
I believe the man wanted to be so strong that no one would be able to threaten him as the Belyaevs did.
Collier was able to take over completely and subdue them by wiping out the Belyaevs and their supporters, which were the Babanins and the part of the Lawrence family, leaving Nellie powerless and defenceless. Unfortunately, Alissa had passed away before he completed his mission, so he decided to keep Nellie as his Lady and the only Lady of the north,” He said, and I was stunned.
“Nellie made sure no one ever spoke of Alissa or remembered her. I doubt Lord Darius and Abelardo even know her,” he said, and I could not believe how rotten the north was.
I kept all those names in mind and planned to start my investigation from there.
The tour was educative, and I was pleased Jake took the time to show us around and give us some history lessons that we wouldn’t have been privy to had we remained in our cocoon at the estate.

Alphas started arriving, and Jake had to excuse us to attend to his guest.
I noticed Iris was excited about it. Hopefully, she would find her mate and not live her life afraid of fate.
Kara and I were sleeping when a bang on the door woke us.
Someone was sent to inform us that the festival was at full at the festival was at full blast, and we were needed at the high table to grace the event. We must have overslept.
Kara and I dressed and decided to grace the occasion as special guests from the north. I suspected we would be representing the Lord and beta. The festival was a full blast, and there was a lot of merriment.
We stayed away from alcohol because we had to remain sharp. Alpha Jake sent Iris to bring us to the high table.
We moved through the crowd, and I admired the lights display and merriment.
Seeing how these people turned their misfortune into joy and bounced back was amazing.
They were strong, and I admired them for it. Women, children, and men played and danced. There were bright colours. everywhere, confetti and music. It was beautiful.
We headed to the high table, and then I caught his scent.
