SHADOWS OF DESTINY - Season 1 Episode 82

~Sylvester~

We returned home, and Tamia and I went to our bedroom to change. The moment we entered our

bedroom, I pulled her close to me.

“We should change and have dinner with everyone, deal with the Lily situation and then maybe you will

choose to spend time with me tonight instead of your friends,” Tamia said to me and moved away.

I could smell her arousal, but she wanted me to work for it.

I understood her point and quickly changed into something simple.

I wanted to get the dinner over and return to spend time with my woman.

We headed downstairs, and I was surprised to see Katya at the table. She looked nervous, but Tamia

smiled at her, making her relax.

Glenda, whom I had banned from the table, was there too, and I looked at Dominic, who shrugged.

Not wanting to embarrass him, I let it rest.

“Hope you will be of best behaviour tonight, Glenda?” Tamia asked her, and she stood up and greeted

Tamia and me respectfully.

I knew it was a pretence, and when I looked at my mother, I saw her rolling her eyes at what Glenda

did.

Katya was sitting next to her.

“I invited her to join us,” My mother said quickly, and as much as I wanted to pretend not to know what

she was doing, I knew exactly what she was doing.

She was trying to separate Dominic from Glenda. Honestly, I was in support because the girl was just

toxic. 1

I somehow believed Glenda had forced herself to join us, leaving Dominic to take responsibility for it. It

was just so low of her.

Avery and Marcel joined us; they looked like they had done something before coming down. They

smelled like it, and I looked at Tamia, who looked away from me, knowing exactly what she did.

Linda and Theo joined us, and the butler soon ushered Lily in.

She was very nervous and was made to sit next to Katya.

Dinner was served, and we ate quickly. I wanted it over with.

“The game against the East was brutal,”

Dominic said, and we laughed. He wasn’t in on the plan.

“It was intentional,” Tamia told him, and

I watched it click in his eyes.

“My, I learned those alphas were in the infirmary for a while, especially the red- haired, Nikson,” he

said, trying to remember Kyle’s name, and we all laughed.

Honestly, beating him up physically and stripping him of his alpha status would have been the best

punishment, but we did not want something that would cause a war between us, so we had to settle. 1

While we discussed the events, I wondered what Leo wanted to discuss with me. It must have been

important for him to go through the trouble of signing up for a sport in which he had no skill.

I also commend him because he played well. We would have still won without the brutality, but the fact

that they scored some points meant they put some effort into it.

After dinner, Tamia and I led Lily to the mini office in the duplex.

She was nervous, and she ought to be.

I wasn’t over her betraying and trying to ruin me.

If it weren’t for the fact that we needed her cooperation to make headway on the matter, I would have

ensured she faced the ultimate punishment for treason: death. I was sure no one would dispute it, not

even her family.

“Have a seat,” I heard Tamia tell her, and I wanted to tell her to keep standing, but I let my mate handle

the situation.

“So tell me about Gezel Sidorov,” Tamia said, and Lily adjusted herself in the seat.

“She is the head of the northern uprising group. I do not know her function, but they want me to meet

with her during the games. She plays golf, so I am expected to hand her the seal at the golf course,”

Lily said quickly.

“Did they tell you what their mandate is? “Tamia asked her, and she nodded. 1

“They want a democracy where the council would be the highest seat and every top family in the

regions, and the packs would have a seat on the council, creating a senate. They feel the system we

run is stylishly autocratic and want to change that.” She said.

“Do you know who the leader of this future senate will be?” Tamia asked her, and she shook her head.

I needed to understand why Gezel

Sidorov would want to ruin a system that benefits her family and implicate her cousin in the process. If

this treason is linked to the Sidorovs, Marcel would be asked to go into exile as punishment for not

keeping his family in check.

I needed to find a way to discuss this with Marcel and Theo because they must look into the affairs of

their families.

Whoever is doing this is trying to weaken my support.

With Marcel out of the way and maybe Theo too, I will be left to deal with the uprising alone.

It would be difficult for them to unseat me, but what if they divide my control?

I could not risk allowing Marcel and Theo to be implicated in this. There has been a need to implicate

them for a while. This was the smartest route, and this Gezel bitch was making herself useful to the

enemy.

I opened my drawer and handed three seals to Tamia.

“Do you know what they want to do with it?” Tamia asked, handing the seal to Lily.

“I think they want to write a release letter for Safia Malek that would be forced into order while the

tournament is on. They want to ask for her release making it seem like Lord Volkov ordered it. It is just

my guess; I am not sure. Maybe they will cue me in on what they want to use it for once I deliver it to

Luna Gezel,” Lily said, and she made a lot of sense.

I wondered if this Luna Gezel was the one that forced Bryce to act against me.

I was in a dilemma. I did not know if I should arrest her immediately or allow her to lead us to other

people so we could have a wider picture of what was happening.

So far, the trails we were getting led us away from the council.

I could understand Pamela and Joan being scornful and jealous of our mates, but with what Lily had

just told me, the council might be pawns too.

They might be reacting the way this malicious group want them to react. I knew I would have to tell

Marcel and Theodore. Dominic also needed to know because he was the first to be framed; they might

try to frame him again.

Lily seized the opportunity to apologise and beg for my forgiveness, but the damage had already been

done. My heart was closed off to her. Tamia linked me to accept her apology, and I knew she must

have her reasons.

I reluctantly smiled at Lily and told her it was okay and that what she was doing was a great way to

apologise.

It was hard for my lips to form the words, but they did.

Tamia ended the meeting with Lily, and she left.

I could see the regret in Lily’s eyes, but I did not care. Once a traitor always a dangerous company to

have.

After she left, Tamia and I headed to our room.

We needed to shower and then sleep. I had to ask her on our way up why she asked me to accept

Lily’s apology.

“So she would do the task given to her diligently. She is obviously seeking your approval, and this was

to show she is sorry. If you continue giving her the cold shoulder, she won’t give us the result we want

because she will have given up. Hope is a strong driving force that pushes people to achieve the

impossible; your forgiveness and affection is the impossible goal her hope drives her to

achieve. Let us use it to solve this problem. If not a full solution, partial would do just fine,” She said,

and I pulled her close to kiss her.

The instant we entered our bedroom. I closed the door and pulled her close to my body.

I had been meaning to hold her all day. The PDA in the booth was not enough. It filled my senses with

her arousal and made me want to do things to her. She got away when we returned home, but there

was no escaping now.

I kissed her neck, and she moaned. Her citrus scent drew me in.

I had spent most of the time battling knight from claiming her. I did not know if I should go for it, but only

fated mates could claim each other successfully without a blue moon blessing the union.

I did not want to mar her neck.

The cord connecting us was getting stronger, and I did not understand what was happening, but I had

an overwhelming need to claim her and make her mine.

“Mate,” Knight growled in my head; I did not want to argue with my wolf. Of course, she was our mate.

We entered the shower, and the moment the water came on, Tamia grabbed me. Wrapping her legs

around me, I supported her with my hand as we kissed fiercely.

She had a strong need for me, and I could feel it.

Our lovemaking had become more frequent and intense since she got pregnant, and I liked it.

She held on to my hair, grabbed fiercely and kissed me.

Realising I could not give her the satisfaction she needed in the shower, I turned off the water, still

carrying and kissing her, and we moved to the bedroom.

“Claim me, Sylvester,” She said with wolf eyes, and I was a bit confused. One of us needed to control

it, and I decided to.

Moving down her body with my lips, she tugged on my hair and writhed.

I touched her pussy, and it was very wet. I wondered how long she was aroused.

I felt my teeth elongating, and I did not know what to do.

I had to move with instincts. So I kissed her clit and sucked on it gently. Flicking the tip with my tongue.

Her Citrus scent engulfed me, driving

Knight crazy, and as soon as she came, I sank my teeth into her inner thigh close to her pussy.

She moaned loudly, and I felt the cord connecting us tighten.

I did not know what the fuck had just happened because that was Knight’s doing, but it felt so right.

“Tamia,” I said, looking up at her, and Kaira was in charge.

“Inside me,” She ordered me, and I obeyed.

Placing my cock in her, I pumped.

The feeling was heightened. I felt the connection so strong, and I enjoyed giving her pleasure. I felt the

pleasure coming back to me at the same time. I could not explain it, but it felt good.

“Mate,” I heard myself say, and I did not know why Knight called on to her like that, but it felt right. As

long as it was

Tamia he referred to as ‘mate’, it was right, and I loved it.

We were in our world for about an hour before we finally stopped panting on the bed.

I looked at Tamia, and I could see she was fully satisfied.

She smiled at me, and I winked in return, making her giggle and smack my chest gently.

“Did you just claim me?” She asked, and I did not know what to say.

I felt the place with my hand; it had healed because it was smooth. Tamia moaned when my hand

came in contact with the place, and I was tempted to look at my mark on her thigh.

I knelt between her legs, and she frowned at me.

“I just want to see it. I do not want to mar your skin, my love,” I said, and she giggled and opened her

legs for me.

What I saw took me by surprise.

The mark had not just healed, but like that of a true mate’s bond, a pink crescent moon perfectly rested

on the spot. 1

“Fuck!” I exclaimed softly, and she sat up to look at me.

“What is the matter?” She said, checking out the spot and she was surprised.

“How?” That was all she managed, and Knight was howling in my head. How did I miss it? I was so

used to Tamia that I could not read the changes between us. I could not understand the scent and the

need to claim and own her.

She looked at me, and I noticed that it had clicked in her mind just like it clicked in mine.

We were fated mates. The goddess had blessed our union without a blue moon.

In a world where finding mates was rare, we did not only get to find ours and reject them; we became

second-chance mates.

Seeing this, I prayed that Susan and Devin would also find second-chance mates too and leave us

alone.
