Shadows of Destiny

21 Getting To Know Each Other

-Tamia-

I woke up still tangled in the sheets with

Sylvester.

I did not want to get up. Watching him sleep peacefully melted my heart. He looked so much at peace,

and I kissed him on his lips.

In response, he wrapped his arms around me and tickled me. I felt like a teenager

again.

I laughed and then stopped. Then he pulled me close to him and kissed me hungrily.

“I am a man with a large appetite, green eyes,” he said, and I giggled.

“We need to head for dinner first. We have been in this room all day,” I complained because all the

orgasms I got had made me hungry.

“I thought Kaira could take it; she said all

night and some more; we haven’t gotten to the all-night part yet,” He said, and I got off the bed in an

attempt to get away.

He was fast and pulled me back; I giggled at

his playfulness. He kissed my neck and sucked gently.

“Sylvester,” I moaned, and he laughed.

“Come on, let’s shower and get dressed,” he

said, and I smiled at him.

We showered, and he took liberties, touching me in places that got me all worked up, but he never

went all the way with me.

“What do you think you are doing?” I said when he was dressing up.

“Going for dinner, green eyes, just like you said,” He said, and I knew what he was doing.

I went to pick up his shirt, and he stopped

“Feed my eyes tonight,” He said to me, and I grinned.

I reached for a black lace lingerie with a short silk robe. I wore pantyhose, and he

watched me put them on.

I made sure to do it as slowly as possible to get him worked up. By the time I was finished, he was

spotting a hard-on. 1

“Shall we?” I said with a low drawl, and he

growled at me.

I saw his eyes flashing and felt the pressure that came with his presence. Knight was seeking to

dominate me.

“We do not want the food to get cold,” I said

and walked out of our room.

He followed me and caught up with me.

Then slid his hands around my waist.

I noticed he had found a way to tuck his very erect member.

He did not button his shirt, so his chest was visible.

People were looking at us in awe, and I

heard some people whispering.

“How did she do it?” I heard someone say, and I realised that Sylvester seemed

impenetrable to them, but he was adorable

with me.

“They look so good together,” someone said, admiring us.

“You know she was a luna in the east. Not a

virgin. He will dump her pretty soon,” some hater said, and I wanted to laugh.

I felt Sylvester vibrate. He must have heard that last statement. I placed my hands on his

chest to calm him down.

“Words don’t get to me, Alpha,” I assured him, and he relaxed, but he made sure he took note of the

person that said it.

The woman was unsuspecting, but I was

sure Sylvester was definitely going to deal

with her.

We entered the dining room, and everyone.

was silent.

It was clear they were talking about us. Linda eyed my get-up and winked at me.

“Someone is finally getting some,” she linked me, and I felt shy.

“You should too,” I told her, and she looked

away.

I looked at Avery, and she and Marcel seemed to have patched things up.

They were moving faster than any of us. Sylvester and I went to sit so the food could

be served.

I looked at my friends. We were never really close, until circumstances brought us

together.

Having the same problems made us create a bond, and it seemed to be strong.

I looked at the men we were with and

realised we were making the right decisions that might lead to true happiness.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. We were

supposed to be prisoners serving the Alphas. That was why they split us amongst

themselves, but here we were, being treated

like queens.

Avery and Linda were treated better than they were treated at home.

As for me, my broken heart was healed and

learning to open again.

The meal was served, and Sylvester took my

hand and kissed it. He was gentle about it

too. His eyes said it all.

“Eat,” he said, and I smiled at him because I knew why.

We ate, and while we did, we talked about the attack. Avery and Linda were yet to get

off the ‘high’ of the fight.

“Those men were from Max’s pack,” Avery

told us, and I was in shock.

“That was why I enjoyed it. I remembered some of the bastards. They always took Michelle’s side

against me.” She said, going

down memory lane, and Marcel pulled her

close.

“At least your husband didn’t make his men fuck you for his entertainment,” Linda said,

and I still could not believe Kyle would do

that to her. I doubted Linda would ever

recover from it.

“You can’t relate because Leo was awesome;

even Amanda could not turn him against you, other than sharing your bed,” Avery said. We laughed to

make light the situation.

Those scars would never heal, and I was grateful that the men allowed us to discuss it

freely. It was helping the healing process for Avery and Linda. I believed I was healed.

“Honestly, I am glad. If not, I wouldn’t be here.” I said. Avery shook her head.

“We would have ended up here regardless. Kyle would have still gone ahead and done shit. Those

men aren’t worthy of leading. I suggest you take over the east before they waste innocent lives for

personal gains.”

Avery told Sylvester, and he smiled at her.

He was being tolerant, and I admired that

about him.

He understood that she was angry and she

had the right to be.

No one deserved to be treated like that. Mia

had some silver scars, and I knew they were from the beatings because we rarely fought battles in the

east. The white wolf had

suffered.

“I do not like taking over other regions. My father was the one that took over the west. As long as no

one looks for my trouble, there is no need. I am sure the Alphas know what is best for their people. I

am also sure Leonardo Albert will put them in check,” Sylvester said and looked at me. He was

searching my eyes for something, but there was nothing. Somehow, he was still afraid that my heart

still belonged to Leo.

It made him look cute.

We finished dinner, and Sylvester decided

we should go to the club in town. I was surprised because I knew newcomers were not allowed to leave

the property.

We returned to his room, and I realised I

couldn’t wear lingerie, see-through tunics or gowns to the club.

“I have nothing to wear,” I told him, and he

smiled at me.

“I sent for clothes this morning. They will soon be here,” He said and backed me up against the wall.

I wrapped my legs around him, and he tore the lace panties and buried himself inside me in a rush. He

had been anticipating it.

Sylvester growled with satisfaction. I saw his teeth elongate, which was a serious turn-on

for me.

His claws grew out, and I held on tight while he pumped like the beast he was.

Someone knocked, but we did not care. We were in our world. I came quickly, and he

followed.

He let me down gently, and I laughed.

“I have a big appetite,” he said, nibbling on

my ears. 1

“Eager to please,” I said, and he laughed.

He adjusted himself, and I covered my torn lace lingerie with my robe.

The door clicked, and two hangers of clothes

were rolled in.

Two boxes were placed on the vanity table, and the workers quietly exited the room.

I checked out the clothes, and they were

beautiful.

One of the boxes had jewellery, and the other

had makeup in it.

Sylvester had gone all out.

I showered to clean up, and Sylvester helped me go through the clothes to select which

one I should wear.

He took great care in choosing, and it was

adorable.

We both settled on a short deep blue velvet club dress that was backless with a halter neck. It had

some sequence on it, but they were tastefully placed. 2

I chose silver heels to go with it and let my hair down. I wore simple makeup.

Sylvester wore a black shirt and blue jeans and packed his long hair in a ponytail. He looked

breathtakingly handsome.

“You look beautiful, Tamia,” He said, and I

beamed at him.

“You look good, yourself,” I told him.

He smiled, pulled me close, and breathed in

my scent.

“Promise you will always be with me, Tamia,

He breathed into my ear.

“I promise,” I said, and he moved to look into my eyes. He searched them for

deception, and I looked at him.

“Unless you end it, I am not going

anywhere. My story with Leonardo has ended. You do not need to be guarded with

me.” I told him my truth, and he rested his

forehead against mine and sighed. Then

pulled me in for a tight hug.

“I won’t end this,” He said with a promise, and I slowly wrapped my arms around him. We were moving

fast.

There were three Jeeps at the castle

entrance, and I noticed everyone was riding

in their Jeep.

Linda sat in one with Theodore; I could only

see her top, which was red. I believed red was

her favourite colour.

Avery was wearing something purple with Marcel, and we entered the last Jeep.

The ride was bumpy, coming down the hilly

road that led to the property.

We rode through a forest for a while.

“We’re heading to the centre of a town

called Lucland.

“My mother and brother live there,”

Sylvester told me, and I was stunned he had

a family.

“I did not know you had family,” I confessed, and he laughed.

“After my father was murdered, my brother and I decided to hide my mother, so we

moved her out of the Volkov Estate and

brought her here. Although I was the

youngest, I was the one that inherited the Alpha genes, so I took over. My brother

visits from time to time, but we do not see eye to eye on several things,” he said, and I got curious.

“Like what?” I asked him.

“I changed a lot of rules when I took over. I found some of my father’s practices

inhumane and decided to change some things. He did not like it, and we have argued

about it ever since,” he replied, and I knew it

kind of hurt him.

“What is your mother’s take in all of it?” I asked him, and he sighed.

“She agrees with him about some, but not all. You see, my mother is mad at me

because I am yet to bring my father’s killer to justice, and because of that, she sees me as weak,” He

confessed, and I wondered what kind of people they were.

If they were calling Sylvester weak, I wonder what their idea of ‘strong’ was.

“Do you know who did it?” I asked, and he wrapped his hands tightly around the

steering wheel and squeezed it.

“Bane,” He said, stepping on the gas.

“That bastard claimed my father trespassed, but he was lying. My brother went to war with him, but he

wasn’t ready, so Bane won. My mother and brother hate me for not joining and leading the battle. I

couldn’t. As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t because I knew the truth. My father was an evil man,

so I could not blame Bane entirely for what

he did.

According to him, my father took his mother

as tribute, and she never returned to them, driving his father mad and forcing him to take up the alpha

position at a young age.

My father wrecked his life, and honestly, my father was in the wrong because the south did not do

anything wrong. He wanted to enforce that they all come under him and pay him taxes. They revolted,

and he went

after them.

The east and west agreed to pay, but the south pushed back, and he attacked. So I could understand

Bane’s anger towards my

father and why he will go after the man and

kill him. Though what Bane did was

cowardly, I could understand. I deliberately

did not join that battle against the south because we couldn’t go on killing in the

name of vengeance. I had to break the chain

at a point,” he sighed. 2

“Anyway, that was how the asshole got the

name Bane, because he killed the former wolf lord and won the war against my brother. My mother and

brother are not happy that he is living and breathing, and because of that, my older brother, Dominic,

feels he should be the Wolf Lord and not me,

“he said, and I frowned.

“But he isn’t Alpha,” I argued.

“Well, you do not need the Alpha genes to be lord. He tried to get the council of elders to dethrone me,

but he was unsuccessful. It is really messed up, Tamia,” He said, looked at me and smiled, then looked

back at the road. 1

“I do not want you stressing over my family issues tonight. I want us to have fun,” He

said and continued to drive.

We talked and laughed about trivial things and soon arrived at Lucland, a beautiful city.

Living in the ‘castle’ made me forget that we lived in a developed world.

It was a bit more developed than Mountain.

We arrived at a club called Grundle. It looked high-class, and I held on to Sylvester and leaned on him
