SHADOWS OF DESTINY - Season 1 Episode 27

 

-Tamia-

Long after Sylvester and I returned to our room, Dominic banged on our door.

I was initially afraid of the douchebag, but I was angry now that Sylvester was back.

Sylvester seemed like he wanted to ignore his brother but opened the door last minute because the

guy wouldn’t stop banging.

The man walked into our bedroom angrily.

He looked at me, and I could see his hatred for me.

Honestly, I did not know what his deal was,

but it was clear I was in his bad books for no

reason.

“You may be the Wolf Lord, but you have not right to interfere with my investigation,” He said to

Sylvester, and Sylvester did not

respond.

“Mother would have been killed, and these women would have been roaming free,” He said, and

Sylvester nodded.

“Yes, they would have been roaming free, Dominic. Why punish people for a crime they did not

commit?” Sylvester asked him, and Dominic was shocked at Sylvester’s

response.

“She knew mother was in Lucland,” He argued, and Sylvester shook his head.

“She did not know where she was in Lucland. The only people with that information were me, you and

the council, so don’t try to pin this on Tamia. Besides, she will never do anything to hurt me, and as for

Devin, I doubt he has a hand in this. It is not his style,” Sylvester said, voicing his opinion.

“What happened to you? You used to be so focused and stern. Now you seem pussy

whipped,” Dominic said, and Sylvester laughed.

“Nothing happened to me, Dominic. I am not a madman and won’t start acting like one because you

want me to. The east has its hands full, and Tamia is a member of my pack. She has no reason to fight

against me or hurt our mother. You need to drop it, Dominic. As things are, I am relieving you of the

right to come into this estate and order my men around. Whatever you need to do has to pass through

me, and Tamia should be afforded respect. On no account should you ever try to question or hurt her

again,” he said, and Dominic looked disappointed.

“She will be your downfall, Sylvester, and I will laugh at you when that happens.” He told him and then

looked at me. 1

“Your position isn’t secure. He has been trying to fill a void Susan left for eleven years. You might think

he is head over heels for you now, but if Susan ever returns, he will dump you in a heartbeat. Just don’t

get comfortable,” he said and excused himself.

Sylvester was mad about his brother’s

words, but I left the bed, hugged him from behind, and kissed his back.

“Don’t let it bother you. His words can’t get

to me,” I assured Sylvester, but he was still mad.

We left the room to have dinner, and I wondered how Avery and Linda were doing because we were all

in the same predicament.

The dining room was silent, and Sylvester and I took our seats; Marcel and Theodore were angry. I

looked at my friends, and they looked a bit worried.

I hoped things don’t get explosive between

We ate in silence, and Sylvester decided to break the ice.

“Out with it,” He said, looking at Marcel, and Marcel dropped his cutlery on his plate.

“I have a lot of respect for you. I understand the gravity of the crime, but Dominic had no right to have

my fiance beaten up and

dragged out of her room like a criminal. I serve you, and not the Volkov family; I won’t hesitate to beat

the shit out of him next time, “Marcel said, and Sylvester turned to Theodore.

“What he said” was all Theodore could say, and Sylvester laughed.

“I already beat the shit out of him,” He said, trying to calm the situation, and it worked.

“What is the deal with the guy? He does not have what it takes to be lord, yet he keeps trying, and the

sad part is that the council knows, yet they keep putting him in a

situation where he would clash with you. I think we should bring it up at the summit,” Marcel said, and

Sylvester nodded.

“Dominic is the least of our problems; we need to find out who is behind the attack on my mother and

Jenny Lawrence from the council,” Silvester said.

“I heard you were one of the best strategists and investigators when you were Luna of the

east; what do you think about this?” Marcel said, directing the question to me, and I looked at Avery,

who smiled and nodded. She

was the one that must have told him.

“Well, based on the information I got, it doesn’t seem like Devin’s mode of

operation, and it seems more like an inside job, but I could be wrong,” I said quickly, and Sylvester

caressed my hands gently.

“Speak freely, Tamia,” He said, and I knew he was thinking the same as I was. I could see it in his eyes,

and he seemed fascinated that I had the same thought.

“I think someone is trying to force your hand to go to war with Devin, and there is a possibility that this

Jenny woman was the real target; your mother might have just been with the wrong person at the

wrong place,” I said, and Marcel frowned.

“If they wanted Luna Volkov dead, they would have killed her just like they killed Jenny, but they only

wounded her and moved on. It seems the main target was

Jenny. You need to find out why anyone would want to kill Jenny.” I said, and Marcel nodded.

“Then why frame Devin and the east for the attack, and make it seem he had sent soldiers to try to get

you?” Theodore said.

“That was the most stupid plot ever. Whoever did this isn’t so bright. First, Devin does not know where

she lives, and second, how the hell did he know Sylvester and I would be visiting there? Whoever did

this knows the issue between the north and

Devin. They also know that Devin has attempted to take me from the north too. They just felt the bad

blood between Devin and Sylvester would make Sylvester

overlook the other aspects of the crime and go after his arch-enemy. The person was stupid and

sloppy.” I said, and Theodore smiled at me.

“We all thought as much, Tamia, but when Avery said you were a strategist, we wanted to see how

good you are, and you are

excellent,” Marcel said. I looked at Sylvester,

who was smiling at me.

“You two owe me fifty each,” Sylvester said to Marcel, and I could not believe they had made a bet on

this. I smacked his hand

gently, and we laughed, and just like that, laughter had returned to our dinner.

Although we discussed the matter during dinner, I was still worried. Knowing someone was willing to

frame the south and the east to get what they wanted, baffled me.

I did not even know what the deal was with the Jenny woman. It was a mess, and I could not sleep.

I spent the night tossing and turning; Sylvester was too tired to know I was having trouble sleeping.

The event that had taken place troubled me. I was worried about the north and east. I was concerned

for Sylvester’s mother. Above all, Dominic scared me because whatever he had for me was personal,

and I did not know why.

I woke up early and went to shower.

Sylvester was still sleeping when I went to the bathroom. I turned on the water and stood under it,

trying to make my mind go. blank.

“Good morning, darling,” Sylvester said, getting into the shower with me.

I was spooked because I was deep in thought, and I did not hear him get in.

I looked at him, and he frowned.

He was naked, and he was hard.

“What is the matter?” He asked me gently, and I shook my head.

“I know you are troubled, Tamia,” he said to me, and I sighed.

“What if they had killed your mother, Sylvester? What would have happened?” I said, voicing out my

fears, and he hugged me under the warm shower.

“Please let it go. Dominic can’t do anything to you. I know you will never double-cross me. You have

proven that already. Whatever Dominic says does not count,” he said and

kissed me.

“You are safe with me, Tamia. I won’t let anyone hurt you.” He said, and I pulled away.

“You would have gone to war with the east on this,” I said, afraid for Leo, and he

searched my eyes.

“I love you too much to attack your people or your ex. Unlike before, I would investigate before

proceeding. Please let it go,” He said, and I knew he needed me to let it go, so I

nodded.

He hoisted me up in the shower, and I wrapped my legs around him.

“We can’t let this waste now,” he said, and I laughed.

He carried me out of the shower to the bed

and went down on me.

27 A Jump.

I should have woken him up when I was tossing and turning. His ministrations on me pushed my

troubles far away.

I felt his finger in me as he worked on my nerve bundle, and I moaned. Soon I

climaxed, and he drove his very hard and erect cock into me. Pumping hard and fast. As if he had

anticipated it all night.

It was a while before he came, and I had climaxed several times by then. My legs were like jelly when

he was done. 1

We laid down to catch our breaths, and he stroked my back gently.

“Do not worry about war, Tamia. How can I plan to go to war when I want to start a family with you as

my wife?” he said, and I

froze in bed.

I searched his eyes to see if he was serious, and there was no deception in his dark eyes.

“Sylvester,” I said, and he held my hand and kissed it.

“Please disregard what happened with Dominic. I have never felt so right about anything in my life. I

want this. That is why I never took precautions with you. I want us to settle down and start a family. I

want you to be my wife, my mate and my Luna,” He said, searching my eyes for an answer and tears of

excitement and relief poured. 1

“Sylvester,” I said again and nodded in

response.

I could not speak. My breathy voice was caught in my throat.

He beamed at me and kissed me

passionately.

“That was why I wanted you to meet my mother.” He said, breaking the kiss, then went to the dresser

and returned with a

jewellery box,

“I picked this out for you,” He said, sitting beside me in bed and holding my left hand.

“I have never felt this way about anyone

before. You complete me, Tamia, and I want this to be official. No more will anyone again refer to you

as a whore or prisoner because you are neither of those things. My respect is yours, and my life is

yours. Everything I am and own is yours, Tamia. I want to take this leap with you. Let us do this,” He

said and brought out an emerald ring, and I laughed at the irony of the gem being green. 3

“They match your eyes,” he teased, laughing with me and then slipped it onto my ring

finger. The platinum band made it look exquisite, and I kissed him.

I had said yes to marriage twice now; I hoped this would be it.

Sylvester was so happy about my response that he made love to me, and I could feel the difference

this time. His strokes were sure and determined.

He was pouring out all his feelings, and I received them with so much gratitude.

Soon I felt Knight taking over, and it became

wild because Kaira joined in. They had

agreed to be mates too.
