~Sylvester~

I did not waste any time asking Erik why the people had come to see me.

‘Did they tell you why they are here?” I linked him back.

‘Based on what we discussed. They have ordered their families to move and occupy the West. They are here to pay their respects and swear their allegiance,” He linked back, and I did not know what to make of the sudden visit.

Somehow I was uncomfortable about it, but I had agreed to let them join us during the battle. My fear was that there was no guarantee that they were not working for Yuri.

‘Can they be trusted, Erik?” I asked him, and there was silence.

‘Like you said, I could not make out Ighor’s allegiance to Yuri. At this point, I would not vouch for anyone, but I know that they reject Yuri’s methods and ideology. If that is good enough to convince you, then I would tell you Yes, but if not, that is the best I got,” He replied honestly, and I sighed.

‘Tell Alexei and Clay about it. I will convey this to the people on my side and get back to you on the matter,” I told Erik and closed the connection.

Leo’s idea that everyone should be connected to me was productive because it made communication easier and saved us time.

I linked Marcel, Theodore, David, Vino, Devin, Leo, Alexei, Clay and Andrew to join me in my office while I headed there, walking briskly. Although Erik was going to tell Alexei and Clay, I needed multiple opinions to decide on what to do.

I might be the king, but they all had stakes in the matter.

Everyone had something dear to lose. No one’s loss was more significant than the other giving us equal stakes in the matter. A unanimous agreement was required for us to proceed.

They arrived at my office individually. Twenty minutes after I had linked them.

David was the first to arrive, followed by a very tired Dominic, then Marcel. Vino came in thirty minutes, followed by Leo and then Theodore. Alexei, Clay and Andrew were the last to arrive. Seeing the Stepanovs, I knew they figured out the reason for the meeting, but the rest didn’t.

“Some Family heads of members of the Stepanov clan are here to see me. I do not know if I should give them an audience, and if I should, I do not know where will be safest,” I said, and everyone was silent.

I looked at Marcel and Theodore, who seemed to be processing my words; they all were, and I remained on my chair, patiently awaiting their response.

‘I would lie if I said I’m not worried. What if it is a trap by Yuri to lure you out?” Marcel said, voicing his fears, and the rest shared this opinion.

“They can’t work with Yuri. They loathe him,” Andrew said, and I did not know if his opinion would be enough.

“That was how Erik said Ighor was a neutral party, only to find out that he single handed came to shoot at us just to help Yuri’s cause,” Devin said, sounding slightly annoyed. He had a point, but Andrew disagreed.

“Ighor was indeed a neutral party. I still find it hard to believe that he shifted allegiance. The people in question aren’t Neutral. They are in Erik’s camp. They have a falling out with Yuri because they do not

trust his ideals.

Erik has worsened their hatred towards Yuri by recently exposing how Yuri used my father to murder Luis because he wanted to mate with Gezel.

Gezel’s confession also contributed to it. I will advise you to see them and ensure Gezel is with you. They need to know the truth. The AgK32 is good, but Yuri’s inner caucus consists of true Stepanovs. Not half-breeds but people that were a product of the many years of inbreeding.

They are strong and fast, and resilient. We will need all the help we can get. The number Ighor gave us was an estimation, and knowing he was the source; it might be misleading too,” Andrew said immediately without leaving room for argument.

“So you propose Sylvester endangers his life by seeing them?’ Vino asked, sounding worried, and Andrew nodded.

‘I propose Sylvester grant them an audience in a space he can control. They won’t be able to pump silver in the air, and people will not be able to attack from the outside. Somewhere isolated where Sylvester has ultimate power. Where enemies would think twice before attacking. His interactions with them would determine if he can trust them,” Andrew said, and Devin nodded, understanding his point.

‘So, where do you propose?” Marcel asked him.

‘The estate,” Andrew said, and we were silent.

‘Think about it. They will be searched thoroughly, and their devices confiscated at the gate. They can’t attack you and succeed in the estate. We are all here, and you have a very strong guard here. We also have AgK32 here, just in case. I think it will work out here. But I will tell you now, knowing the people in question, we have nothing to worry about. They will be loyal.” He said, and it sounded like a plan.

I was curious to see how the Stepanov family heads’ minds worked and their plans. Andrew was right about meeting them. It would be wise to see them, especially if I would rely on them to help me attack Yuri and his people in Gad. We have to have some trust between us and respect one another.

‘Very well then, if everyone is in favour of me seeing them here, I will tell Erik to set it up for this evening because Leo will be leaving in the morning. Lucland City isn’t that far away from here; They can easily make it and return to the city without stress.

I linked Erik to inform the stephanotis to Join me in the estate. Then I told Leo to inform Gezel to get ready. I also linked Bryce and Levi to ensure the visitors would be checked and watched when they arrived.

Everyone dispersed, and I went to my room to take a short nap. I needed to rest and gather my strength pending when My guest arrived. I needed some shut-eye and plan to get it. I got to the room, took off my clothes, leaving only my boxers on and fell asleep.

I woke up to some noise. It was subtle, but I did not need to guess who it was because her scent filled my senses.

‘Green eyes,” I groaned, managing to open my eyes. I sat in bed, and she joined me in her underwear.

‘I didn’t want to wake you,” She said gently, touching my face.

I opened my eyes and looked at her. She looked tired.

We both needed the rest, but it was good that she was occupied. That way, she wouldn’t overthink missing Harper and Liam.

‘How is the arsenal going,” I teased her, and she smiled and kissed me. She looked gorgeous, and her scent was inviting.

‘I need this,” I said, and she got onto the bed and straddled me.

She looked like a goddess. I caressed her body, tracing her curves with my fingers.

‘Green eyes,” I groaned, speechless, and I felt my cock harden.

I wondered if we had the time for this, but then I figured the guests could wait if they arrived soon.

Tamia was wet. I could smell it.

I dipped my hand in her panties and reached to caress her clit.

Instead of letting me, she adjusted herself and took it off.

I unhooked her bra in front and released her breasts from the cage that confined them. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

They were beautiful, and her nipples were hard. My mind was blank. The moment gave me the silence I needed for peace.

Tamia took off my boxers, leaving me completely naked.

She caressed my chest, and I felt electricity course through me.

She knew exactly what to do. She understood my body, and I let go.

“I want to ride,” she said, and I relaxed so she could take control. I could see the need in her eyes. She wanted this; she wanted me, and I was willing because I needed her.

I reached for her breasts and caressed her nipples while she moaned and guided my cock into her pussy.

Inside her was warm, wet, and slippery.

There was no friction between us as she rode on top of me.

The pleasure went straight to my head, and I wanted to ravage her body. I let her ride a bit and then placed her on her hands and knees to pump as hard and fast as I wanted.

I wanted to go deep inside her, and that was what I did.

I delved in deep and pumped until I felt her shatter all over.

It wasn’t long before I followed too.

She fell on the bed face down like a ragged doll. Her orgasm must have been intense, or it might have been the long working hours. Whatever it was, we were both at peace at that moment, and I relished it.

I lay next to her, and she began to chuckle.

‘I needed that too,” she confessed while she snuggled into my arms.

I stroke her back gently, lying naked in bed with her.

This was the peace I wanted. No drama, no war, no death. Just peace, and I hope we will get it eventually.

I informed her about the arrival of the Stapanov family leaders, and she didn’t have much to say about it. She warned me to be careful but implored me to give them a chance without making us vulnerable.

I did not know how to achieve that, but I prayed to the goddess for wisdom.

It wasn’t long before we both fell asleep again.

I woke up to Marcel’s voice in my head.

’Sylvester?” he called out again.

‘What is it, Marcel?” I asked.

’ I have been trying to reach you for almost thirty minutes now. I knew Tamia was sleeping in the room, so I did not send someone to knock on your door. The Stepanovs are here. There are about Ten family elders.

Dyed hair with contact lenses, you would never guess.

Alexei and Clay are keeping them company, but they are here to see you. What do I tell them?” He asked, and I got off the bed gently so I did not wake Tamia. She was snoring a bit. I knew she was tired.

I looked at her sleeping and covered her with the sheets.

She adjusted herself, and I headed to the bathroom to shower.

’Tell them I will soon be with them,” I replied to Marcel.

‘By the way, just a heads up. They claim to have two hundred and fifty trained pure Stepanov warriors, and they told Alexei that he could command them as he wishes,” Marcel said, and that was a number I wasn’t expecting.

If these people had been on our side, they would have increased our chances immensely. I hope to figure them out when we speak. Fingers crossed, I would have nothing to worry about in their regard.
