Shadows of Destiny

Chapter 0381 I had asked myself severally how Jenny could get her hands on the letter with her so-called investigator. Why would she have someone in the south? I had thought it was a way of keeping an eye on her enemies, but Devin made it make sense now.

Maybe the influential person behind Jenny's son had been planning this all along.

If so, the bastard was a fool and might go down like the rest of the people. It was really messy, and I did not know what to think, so I shut down my mind to ponder on the matter later.

"Maurice arrived at Danes Inn in Pridewood secretly with his officers.

They had cleared out the Inn for themselves.

I felt insulted that the man that ruined my family was on my turf, and I could not do anything about it.

Unable to hold it in any longer, I decided to visit the Inn in the dead of night.

I went alone to avoid confrontation.

When I got there, it was quiet.

There was no one at the exit and at the entrance. It was nothing like what I had seen before.

There was no one there. A hefty guard was lying dead on the floor at the entrance. He reeked of alcohol and northern cocktail, so I figured he might have overdone it.

Other than the guard, there was no

one. Not a soul, but the light was on, and everything was running, I figured Maurice might have told the staff to excuse him. He had lots of money anyway, so it was possible.

[let myself in, and that was when I smelled blood.

Afraid that Maurice had come to commit a crime in my territory, I followed the scent, and it led me to a room.

The door was ajar, and I saw Gavin Orlov partially shifted and dead with multiple silver stab wounds to his heart. He had deep claw marks all over his body. There was no way he could have survived with silver in him. he also reeked of the northern cocktail and some illegal stuff.

I heard aggressive sounds and moved through the living section to the room.

I saw Lucas Sidorov on top of Maurice's dead body, stabbing him continually with a silver blade, he held it in his claws, and his wolf was in charge. They were both partially shifted and reeked of the northern cocktail and other things.

I did not need to think. I attacked Lucas immediately.

He was strong but already wounded and compromised; aiming for the kill, he surrendered and bore his neck to me.

I had no choice but to stop.

I looked at the mess, and he was in tears.

He pleaded with me never to tell

anyone what had happened there.

He convinced me to claim the death and that he would disappear. He said I would be lord if I claim their deaths. It was motivation enough. I had no qualms with the man, so I agreed, but I wanted to know why he did it before I let him go.

He said he found out that Gavin and Maurice drugged him and fucked his wife severally. The drugs they gave him made him pass out so he wouldn't feel it. He said it was a cruel way for Maurice to live up to the dare they had when they were young and unmated," He told me, and I was in shock because this was a serious matter.

"I swore not to ever divulge this next part, but I guess I might have to now since I have told you that story," He

said and looked around.

"Lucas believes that Marcel is either Maurice or Gavin's son. He does not know who," he said, and I gasped. It was a shocker, and my entire body froze on the spot.

"Honestly, I think the guy was mad because Marcel looks a lot like him, but he kept saying Marcel wasn't his. He was unstable, and I could smell the northern cocktail on him and other stuff. Basically, he was out of it. But one thing was certain, he did not appreciate that his friends drugged him and fucked his wife severally," Devin said, and I frowned. I
