SHADOWS OF DESTINY - Season 2 Episode 46

~Sylvester~

Tamia had done a number on Amanda by requesting a caesarean. It was as if all her defences had

been stripped off entirely. When Tamia linked me to inform me that Larry was the king man, honestly, I

took it as one of Amanda’s lies.

I sent people to Larry’s house, and they told me that the people in his house said he had travelled to

Grizlo. I wondered what he was doing in Grizlo, but I was also a bit pissed that maybe I had been

misled again. I wanted to take over the interrogation myself when I barged in and saw what they had

done to the treacherous woman.

“Larry isn’t at his house; he left two nights ago, according to his wife,” I growled, angry that Amanda

would have the effrontery to mislead us again.

“She claims he is in his apartment in Gad. They were to meet there.” Tamia said, and I looked at

Amanda. She had been crying.

Her face looked messed up, and I was sure Amanda did not know that her face was severely burnt.

There was no way the silver burns did not hurt, but that wasn’t my problem. She had fear in her eyes

when she saw me. It was as if she had seen her worst nightmare.

I guess it had suddenly dawned on her that she would not get out of the mess this time. It had suddenly

become her reality that they had failed, and their king had failed them.

“He has a small army there; he won’t be easy to catch. He also locked someone up in one of the

rooms. I don’t know who, but he was planning to use the person as the fall guy, but I do not know if he

plans to do it anymore,” She said.

If Amanda’s story checked out, it means I was right about Larry all along, and I should have kept him

locked up when I arrested him the first time. He had created a lot of damage.

I did not understand why he would back Dominic up against me. He wanted Dominic to be Lord badly

and did his best to make it happen. Unfortunately, his best wasn’t enough.

Why not just recruit Dominic for his cause? I guess I will find that out when I lay my hands on him.

There was no way he would get away with corrupting so many people, wasting and ruining lives. There

were people who would never see daylight again because of him, and some would be killed for being

part of his group.

He hid well; he did not expect this to lead back to him.

“Secure her,” I said to Wilson, and he moved to secure the prisoner.

We left the bungalow to head to the mansion and plan our attack in Gad.

I called Dominic and requested that they not return to the estate until we were done, and he agreed to

remain at our house in Lucland. My wedding was in four days, so we needed to move quickly.

I called a quick meeting in my office and invited Devin and Leo.

Becoming a king was a wise decision because, as Lord, I would have had to run this by the council and

prove my case against Larry, a member of the council.

There was no way I would win against him that way. Knowing we would only get one shot at this, I

knew we had to be meticulous. Marcel still seemed out of it, so I needed to find out if he was up for the

mission.

“Are you sure you won’t sit this one out?” I asked him while we waited for Leo and Devin to join us, and

he shook his head.

“We need to catch this bastard, Sylvester, and I won’t sit it out. Our wedding is in four days. I can’t let

anything ruin it,” he said with determination in his eyes, and just then, I realised that Tamia was right

that we told them everything.

Tamia and I did not need the blue moon to bond, but we chose to wait to share the blue moon

experience with them so they wouldn’t feel left out. Being fated meant no more surprises.

As for them, they would have to look out for a fated since neither of them had found theirs yet. We

honestly did not want to rub it in and wanted to partake in the romance of the Blue moon night.

Knowing all lovers who weren’t fated bonded that night made it special. It was also called the Love

moon.

Seeing how Marcel and Theodore took my secrecy and tried to blame Tamia for it made me decide not

to keep things from them again.

“I need to tell you two something before Leo and Devin arrive here,” I said, and they were attentive.

Leo and Devin already knew, but I did not want them to be with us in case my friends reacted badly to

my confession. I exhaled and looked at Marcel and Theodore to build up the speaking momentum.

“Tamia and I do not need the blue moon to bond, but we chose to wait because we wanted to share the

moment with the four of you,” I confessed, and Marcel laughed. It was the first time I would see him

laugh since we told him about his father. I did not know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

“Congratulations, ” Marcel said.

“It is good news,” Theodore said with a broad grin, “I am honoured that you too, care about our feelings

to wait, but it isn’t necessary, Sylvester. Knight and Kaira must be going through a lot right now with you

two holding back on each other,” Theodore added, and I nodded.

“We can wait another four days,” I said.

“You know what this means, right?” Marcel said, and we waited for him to speak.

“It means there is hope for us to remain with our mates unhindered. It also means nothing would

happen if we rejected a fated that comes along. Sylvester fared well, and he isn’t one bit weak or

broken. I am sure we will be okay,” Marcel said, and Theodore laughed.

“I can’t wait to share the news with Linda. She has been worried about fate for a while now. This is

indeed good news,” Theodore said, and I was happy with how they took it.

I was also glad to get that out of the way.

“When all of this is over, I am going to ask you something, and you will give me an honest answer,

Sylvester,” Theodore said, and there was a bit of mischief in his eyes that made me know it wasn’t

something I would lose sleep over.

Finally, Devin and Leo walked in, and we told them everything.

“So, where are the babies?” Leo asked about the children he had presumed to be his but were not.

“They are receiving care in the hospital. When Vino comes through, he will decide what he wants to do

with his triplets,” I said, and Devin looked at me.

“Would you do a sibling test?” He asked me, and I nodded.

“That is one of the reasons David and Dominic are in Lucland,” he nodded. I did not know if I would

want Vino to be a Volkov, but I did not have power over such things. If my father chose to spread his

seed, so be it.

“If Larry has an army, then we would need one,” Leo said.

“I was hoping for a more covert operation. Nothing messy, but something efficient enough to catch the

man,” I said, and Devin adjusted himself on the seat.

“So, what do you have in mind?” He asked me.

“Shadow guards,” I said.

“If the place is protected, the shadow guards would break down his defence silently without his

knowing. Our goal is to get in there and take the man without fighting him. I do not want him to die in

battle. I would rather he answers for his crimes and receives a befitting punishment. Also, Amanda

claims he has someone locked up in there with him. We should get the person out, too,” I said, and Leo

frowned.

“Who does he have locked up and why?” Leo asked.

“His fall guy, according to her,” I said.

“That sneaky bastard,” Devin said.

“Probably knew there was a high possibility he would fail, and so he had several escape plans; too bad

he has finally hung himself,” Devin added, and we laughed.

“Normally, you shouldn’t go on the mission with us, your majesty,”

Devin pointed out, teasing me, but I was a hands-on guy. I wasn’t the type to sit idly while someone

else carried out the task.

“Normally, I shouldn’t, but I will,” I said, ad we all laughed.

“So how do we do the women? They would want to follow us,” Theodore said, and I knew that was a

huge task. I did not want them to come along. I wanted our mates safe away from the chaos in case

anything went wrong. Linda won’t be coming, but Avery and Tamia might insist.

“I will speak to Tamia about it,” I said, and Leo cleared his throat for attention.

“If I may, your majesty,” he said, and I nodded.

“I think we should let them come,” he said and was surprised he would want me to risk my mate’s life

like that.

“We will need all the help we can get with this Larry man. His mind works overtime. Tamia and Avery

are good at things like that, most especially Tamia. She can think on her feet and improvise. We do not

know what he would do or what to expect. This is Amanda we are talking about. Her information might

be a part of the plan. I do not want to overthink it, but it is possible that that could be the case. I would

not want us to get there and be mentally handicapped by these bastards. I know they will be safe

because we will be with them, but please let them come with us while Linda holds the forte here.

Besides, you will be more relaxed and focused if she is with us,” he said, trying to be careful not to

offend me.

I knew he had a point, but risking my mate like that wasn’t my option. I looked at Leo and reluctantly

agreed because I knew Tamia would insist, and I could not say no.

“We have to have a plan to take them away at any sign of danger,” I said, and he nodded.

“I will do it,” he offered, and I nodded. I was a bit jealous because it meant he would be around to

‘console’ Tamia if anything happened to me. Deep down inside him. I knew he would love that, but I

planned on coming home and marrying the woman I love. I knew Leo had come to terms with things,

but it did not stop my suspicions from running wild. He still looked at her like a lost puppy. I prayed he

would find his second chance mate so we could have peace.

I would really like Devin and Leo to be my friends, they have earned it with their loyalty and trust, and I

will find the time to show them gratitude.

“Very well then. Let’s just hope it doesn’t come to that,” Marcel said, and we laughed.

“Marcel, Theodore and I are trained to fight with silver, so we will be at the fronts in case silver is

introduced,” I said.

“I have been training with silver too. Since I encountered your men the day they took Tamia, I started

training with silver. I might not be as tough as you are, but I can withstand and push through the burn

and weakness,” he said, and I was surprised that he took the initiative to better himself.

“That training is very rigorous. I commend you for taking the initiative. It will serve you in the long run,” I

said, and he nodded.

“Thank you,” he said, and I could see Leo and me becoming friends in the future once he is entirely

over Tamia and has moved on.

We all headed to our quarters to rest and prepare for our trip to Gad. Theodore went to send the

shadow guards before us. They would not engage until we were close to the property.

We will also be travelling as ordinary people, so we will use a commercial airline for the trip.

The more covertly we treat the mission, the more likely we are to succeed. Larry was wise and bound

to have his ears to the ground. We needed to move without making a sound.
