The Dark Side Of Fate
40 Morning After.

~Tamia~

I woke up in the morning with a smile on my face.

Sylvester was a beast last night, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Now every time I remembered last night, I would want to experience that level of love.

He did not hold back last night; I was sure everyone heard us. I knew I said some pretty wild gibberish stuff while he took me out of the world and back.

I looked at Sylvester, who stood by the window, naked.

The blinds covered the window, but he was peaking through the side to see outside.

"Did you sleep well, green-eyes?" He said and looked at me with a smile. His hair fell nicely on his shoulders, and he looked so handsome that I wanted him to join me in bed so we could cuddle. "Come back to bed; it is still early," I said, and he smiled and came to join me in bed.

I snuggled into his arms and placed my head on his chest.

"I had fun last night,” I said, closing my eyes to recollect the feeling. He laughed and gently stroked my hair.

"I love making love to you, Tamia," he confessed, and I looked at him.

"Were you jealous last night?" I asked him.

"You looked so beautiful last night, and you let Vino make you smile," he said, and I laughed and touched the tip of his nose with my finger.

"I am yours, regardless of who I smile with,” I said, and he held me tight.

"I know, but I can't help it," he confessed, and I laughed.

"Well, if that is how you punish me, then more offences are coming,” I said, remembering what we did.

He touched my hand and kissed it.

"I can't wait to start a family with you, Tamia. I am a bit jealous of Theodore and Linda," he confessed, and I smiled because I felt the same way.

"Me too. I felt a tinge of jealousy, and I am eager for that to be us soon

It wasn't a big deal with Leo, but I want us to be a family, Sylvester. I love you so much that I want to be the mother of your children and have little us running about the place. I really want it, and I hope it happens soon. It is a journey I am eager to make with you," I confessed, and he kissed my hand. "Me too, Tamia. Me too," he said, kissing the top of my head and stroking my hair.

I prayed we get the news soon, too, because it would be nice.

We stayed in bed for a bit, soon showered together, and got dressed to join the rest of the guests for breakfast.

I knew we won't be coming back to the room when I saw our driver walk past us. Just as they placed our stuff in the room, he had gone to pack our clothes from the room.

We arrived at the dining room, and two chairs at the head of the table were left empty while our host, Vino, and the rest of the guests occupied the remaining seats.

The seating arrangement was made according to the level of importance. I assumed Sylvester and I would sit at the head because Theodore and Linda were on the side, and Marcel and Avery were on the other side. Next to Marcel and Avery were Dominic and Glenda; next to Theodore and Linda was Vino and, to my surprise, Lily. I wondered when she arrived.

Sylvester and I went to sit at the head of the table, and people greeted us. From the way some of them looked at us, it was clear they heard us last night.

It was only some of the guests that were at the party who were present at breakfast. I guess only a few of us were invited to breakfast. Roughly twenty-six people attended, and there was a wide spread of food on the table.

"When did Lilly come?" I asked Sylvester through the mind link.

"She arrived with Dominic and Glenda. She really wanted to come, so I asked Vino to have her as his plus one. Since he had no date, he obliged, but they are friends, and there is nothing between them. I wanted her to have some fun after being cooped up in the house," He said, and I understood his reason.

" Now that you have said that, I think we need to let some women settle in the town. They do nothing at the estate. I know they are your trophies..." I linked with him, but he stopped me by interrupting me.

"You are Luna; you can do whatever you like. I won't be taking trophies anymore. If you do not want them in the estate, I understand. Whatever you decide is okay. I have never had relations with the women presently living in the mansion, and I will never,” he said, and I smiled at him.

We ate in peace, and when we were done, we were asked to socialise a bit before going home. Larry walked up to Sylvester, and I could tell Sylvester did not like the man. Larry was with a pretty brunette who was staring lustfully at Sylvester, and Larry knew she was; what was his problem? "Hello, Alpha Volkov,” The woman said, and Sylvester did not find it funny, but she hadn't done anything wrong

"Hello, eh eh.” the woman said, trying to speak to me in a derogative manner.

"Is she an addition to your new harem? She reminds me of myself, enthralled by you," She said and smiled at me, then extended her hand.

"Hello, I am Arya Micheals, his ex-lover, and I believe the best he ever had,” she said and smiled at Sylvester.

"You said so, remember,” she said, winking at Sylvester. He wanted to speak, and I stopped him and shook her hand.

"Nice to meet you, Arya; I have heard about you from the other girls in the harem. I am Tamia Albert, his fiancée and future luna," I said, and her smile dropped.

I saw a twitch of disbelief in her eyes. It was blinking on its own, and I wanted to laugh.

"How could you?" She told him with tears in her eyes.

"What does she have that I don't?" She asked, and Sylvester smiled at her and pulled me close to him by my waist.

"Isn't it obvious?" he asked her, and she looked at me.

"He moves on quickly,” she linked me, and I realised she was still a member of his pack.

"I guess I will enjoy it while it lasts," I said, touching my chest with my left hand so she could see the emerald engagement ring in my hand.

The woman looked at Larry, and I realised Larry had brought her to us deliberately. I realised Larry wanted to cause a problem between us.

She walked away feeling hurt, and Sylvester pulled Larry close by the collar. I touched his hand to release the man.

"It didn't mean anything. I had fun talking to her, Sylvester; let him go, please,” I pleaded with him so he would know that it did not bother me.

"Pull that kind of stunt again, and I will beat you up. I will show you how far I am willing to go to drive my point." He said and let Larry go.

Just then, Theodore walked up to us and punched Larry in the face. The man fell down.

It all happened so fast, and the room was at a standstill. Theodore was furious, and I wondered what Larry had done to him.

"Who the fuck do you think you are, inviting all the women from our harem for breakfast? Do you want to ruin my relationship? Your actions upset Linda," he said and tried to lift him up, but Sylvester stopped him.

"You have to let me at him, Sylvester. Beatrice really upset Linda. We do not need that kind of energy right now," Theodore said, and I looked in Linda's direction. She looked annoyed.

"Leave him alone," Sylvester told Theodore. If I doubted Theodore was an Alpha, this was proof. His rage was affecting me, and I clung to Sylvester.

"You need to calm down,” Sylvester ordered Theodore.

Larry wiped away the blood in his mouth and looked around. Then just as consistently, Dominic came to his aid.

"He has done nothing wrong. Why tag team on the old man with your friends, Sylvester? You are a bully; first, you increased taxes for the poor people in the west, then you attacked them with your army, and now you are beating a council member because he invited women you and your friends used, abused and dumped. Where do your cruelty and incompetence stop?" He asked and turned to look at the rest of the guests.

"Behold your lord of the north and his goons," He said, and Sylvester was mad.

He pulled Dominic by the collar, and I let him because Dominic had gone too far.

"If I find out that you were the one that set me up by increasing the taxes and attacking the villagers in the west like you attacked Bane in the south, I swear I won't say you are my brother; I will end you. Your hunger for power is making you plot against me. I swear I won't let it go. Not even mother will stop me from dealing with you,” Sylvester said and flipped the narrative.

Dominic began to laugh, and Sylvester let him go.

"Nice one; try to feign innocence because you know your days are numbered. You, of all people, know that isn't my style. I know you did it, Sylvester, and I will prove it," he said.

"And what will be his gain?" I asked him, angry at how he spoke to my man.

"Shut your trap, eastern whore, no..." And Sylvester sent him a punch before he could finish the sentence.

He knelt over Dominic and began to punch him.

"Have I not warned you?" He said, livid, and I tried to stop him.

Theodore and Marcel had to help pull him off. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Dominic was in shock on the floor. He wasn't expecting Sylvester to lose his shit like that.

"You disrespect her like that again, and I will do worse," Sylvester yelled at Dominic. I was embarrassed by how people were watching us.

"I did nothing wrong by calling you out on your wickedness," Dominic replied.

"And what would be his gain ?" I asked in tears seeing how determined the arsehole was to ruin his brother's reputation.

"What is his gain, Dominic? Why would he increase taxes and then kill people in the west? Why? Just tell us his benefit and gain in all this?" I said, and he was speechless.

"Do not let your envy for your brother ruin the family's name and the family. It is just the two of you. You keep doing this, and you will be alone, Dominic. Do you think Larry cares about you? He doesn't," I said and held Sylvester's hand.

"Let's go home," I said, and Sylvester was stunned, but he pulled me close, held me and kissed the top of my head to calm me down. In those moments, I did not care that everyone was looking at us. He was all that mattered.

Vino came to apologise, and we left quietly.
