StarNovelChapter 0382 "Did he have Marcel tested?" I asked, and Devin chuckled.
"How am I to know that part? I doubt the guy did that. You needed to see him, Tamia. He was mad," Devin said.
"So you let him get away?" I asked, and he nodded.
"A deal is a deal, Tamia. He had surrendered and told me why he did it.
1 would also be seen as powerful for fighting and killing the three of them and maybe becoming lord. So I let him go," he said, and I was shocked to find out that Lucas Sidorov was still alive, roaming free.
"So what did you do? How were you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtable to pass off three dead bodies when they were only two?" I asked.
"I burned the dead guard's body at the Inn's entrance; he had overdosed anyway. It was charred beyond recognition, so I passed it off as Lucas.
People bought it seeing that half of the Inn burned down and the burnt body was pulled out of the fire," he said, and I frowned at him.
"How?" I asked.
"Well, I took Gavin and Maurice's bodies outside. Their bodies were clawed and partially shifted, so it seemed like we had a wolf fight, and they died before fully shifting back.
The fire seemed like it occurred due to the battle.
I claimed that Lucas was my first kill in the room, and I chased Gavin out and
ended him. Maurice was not around but arrived at the Inn while Gavin and I fought.
I had dealt the killing blow to Gavin when Maurice attacked me, and we fought.
To make the story believable, Lucas clawed at my skin before he ran away, and that is the truth," he said, and I shook my head.
"Why did he have to lie like that?" I asked him, thinking all Lucas had to do was come home.
"You do not know the protocols, right?" Devin asked me, and I shook my head.
"The officers are to die with the lord.
There was no way Lucas could come home; he would be put to death. It was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcustomary." He said, and I understood.
"There was no war; no wolf fight like people like to tell the story. Maurice had no shadow guards, and I had no warriors with me, Tamia. I am not the hero; I am not a strong man. I am not the Bane, just a guy that got lucky a couple of times," He told me.
""No, you are all that and more, Devin.
You are powerfully strong and loyal. I respect your honesty, and I know you would have killed them if it came to it.
After all, Lucas bared his neck to you." I said, and he smiled.
I felt relieved at what I had heard, and I could not wait to share the news with Sylvester but knowing that Lucas Sidorov was out there meant a lot. He could have truly gone into hiding and
abandoned his mate who cheated on him, or he could have founded a terrorist group to destroy the family of the man that destroyed his home. I might be wrong, but I knew there was something there.
I returned to the house, and a call came through on my phone. It was Levi, so I answered immediately, "Your majesty," he said, addressing me by my future title.
"Amanda is moving to Grizlo to meet her lover," he said, and I was elated.
Two wonderful pieces of news on the same day. I could not wait to share it with Sylvester.
