Chapter 74, Who's The Mole (Book 2)
~Devin~
Susan fell asleep a few hours after she woke up.
The doctor that checked up on her said she would be safe to transport to the Mountain the next
day.She had recovered faster than anticipated, and I was thankful for it.
It was good news because I had so much to do.
Arresting Alice and finding out all she knew was part of it.
I planned to take Susan back to Mountain, then travel to Greenville with Max and arrest Alice.
If I returned to Greenville with Susan, Alice would know her game was up, and she would flee.I could
not have that.I planned on setting a trap for her to fall in so it wouldn't be her words against Susan's.I
also did not trust her relationship with Lukman and planned to expose her.I sat on the couch Alia sent
to Susan's hospital room and watched Susan sleep.
She looked peaceful, and I prayed our lives would be that peaceful.
I hated that her first reaction to the conflict was to run, but she ended up uncovering something crucial.I
was grateful to the goddess for her, and I hoped that once everything was over, we would have a
blissful life together.
Someone knocked on the door, and I didn't bother looking towards it because I knew it was Alexei.I
could smell him.I fought the urge to roll my eyes and just nodded for him to enter.
He walked in quietly and came to sit beside me.I shifted a bit because I was in the middle of the three-
sitter couch.
"Heard you two are leaving tomorrow," he said, and I nodded.
"That is great news.Honestly, I was worried when I heard what had happened.Glad you found her on
time," he said, and I sighed because he was right.
I knew he wanted to tell me something but did not know if this was the right time.
I looked at him and raised my eyebrow, but his head was bowed, so he did not see my facial
expression.I wasn't the patient type, but people always failed to understand that part of me.
"What is it?" I asked, sounding a bit short.
He rubbed his head a bit and tousled his hair.
"The King and the Lords arrived, and they were attacked by Yuri or Erik's men; we do not know yet, but
I suspect Leo might have an informant in Mountain.I do not know if you can help me communicate with
Leo to be extra careful," Alexei said, sounding worried, and I frowned.
"Who told you this?" I asked him.
"Clay.”He said Leo, Andrew and him had to defend because they did not want the royals to come out of
the van just in case it were speculations.
They were unsure if they knew the King and Lords were coming or if it was just speculation.He said it
worked because once Leo exited the van, they stopped trying to move past them to attack the van.
The good news is that they were able to kill them all.I have been trying to reach Leo, but he seems
occupied.
Please try and discuss this with him extensively tomorrow so they can figure it out.
Having all the Volkovs in Mountain is risky, and he has to put in a lot of effort to ensure they do not get
killed there.
"He said and sighed.I kept my eyes on Susan while he spoke.I did not need to guess where the leak
originated; I already knew it.
It made me even feel more ashamed of myself.
That bitch Alice was around when I had discussions with Leo, and I knew Leo.I discussed Sylvester's
arrival in one of our phone discussions.I also registered it somewhere.I bowed my head and sighed.
"What is the matter, Devin?" Alexei asked me.
I sighed with my eyes still on my mate.
"Would you believe me if I said the leak did not come from Mountain but from Greenville?" I said, and
he gasped.
I looked at him, and he was focused on Susan.His profile looked like Clay, but I was offended he was
looking at Susan because I knew what he was thinking.It was normal for he would look at her since her
parents were part of the cult.
"Don't look at my mate like that; she did nothing wrong,"
I snapped immediately, realising I would have to do more to protect Susan because everyone was
quick to point at her.She was guilty by association, and that was wrong.Susan had never hurt or
harmed anyone before.
She wouldn't have tried to get back with Sylvester if it weren't for the mate pull between them.
It took a while for her to accept the rejection, but it was understandable after all that she had been
through.
Still, it was wrong to fault her every damn time.
"It was my assistant, Alice.She is the daughter of my father's Beta.Susan caught her in Brent talking to
one of your family members.She came out of the woods to confront her, and in response, they decided
to bury Silver in Susan and leave her for dead.
At first, I thought Susan might be mistaken.
The desperation to prove her innocence and the fact that she had an issue with Alice before we came
to Mountain might be the reason why she would imagine it to be Alice, so I called my beta Lukman to
clarify.
According to him, Alice left for Hayland yesterday, claiming she would visit her folks, among other lies
she told him.
That puts her in Brent at the time Susan said she saw her.She was the one that told the enemies about
Sylvester.She was always around me, so she must have eavesdropped my conversations with
Leo.That must have been why they were unsure if Sylvester was in the van." I said, and Alexei
whistled.
"What did you do to her?" he asked me, and I chuckled.
"I guess I refused to fuck her. She might be mad about it," I said, and he laughed.
"She is like that?" he said, still laughing, and I nodded.
It was okay to laugh, knowing they did not succeed and weren't sure whether or not the northerners
were in the East, but it would have gone differently had Clay and Andrew not been there, and we would
have lost the war before it even began.
"The bitch was so malicious she tried to make Susan believe I was screwing her and that she should
leave.She almost succeeded, too, had Susan not confronted me about it.She is just a sneaky little
bitch.Now my Beta says they are dating; I doubt she wants him; she just wants to use him to keep a tab
on our dealings." I said, and Alexei could not stop laughing.
"So what do you want to do about it?" he said, and I looked at him.
I almost screamed when I saw his eyes.I had not seen his eyes since he entered, but I did now.
He wasn't in contact for the first time, and his orbs looked weirder than Amelia's.I knew it was the
same, but I was used to seeing Amelia with those eyes.
"What happened to your contacts?" I asked him, and he sighed.
"There is no need anymore.The Stepanovs are out of hiding, and the line has been drawn.I hated
wearing those things.I wore them all my life," he said.
I could understand the relief he felt being able to be himself without hiding behind his hair dye and
contact lenses.
"I am glad you are embracing your features," I teased, and he nudged me.
"So what is the plan? We must catch the bitch so she can tell us what she knows.Andrew's information
is limited.He has taken sides, so he would no longer know what is happening with the cult.This bitch
can lead us to someone that could lead us to something useful," Alexei said, and I smiled.
"I have plans for her," I said, grinning and looking at Susan.
I had severe plans for her.
She felt the need to bury silver in my mate and leave her for the dead, then went further to sell out my
friends.I had plans for Alice, n.ovelebook and I doubted she would survive them when I was done.I
greatly respected her family because they were loyal to my father, but even that would not save her
from my wrath.I took out the phone I was given to call Leo while Alexei remained with me.I needed to
inform them about Alice so they would not have random suspects.
Suspecting people randomly never solved anything, and this case was a bit more tricky than the one
with Larry.
