Shadows of Destiny

15 Adjusting in Tension ~Tamia~ Sylvester left me in the room, and I remained sad.

The emptiness and confusion were gone.

I was glad Sylvester was around to absorb me into his pack; this was my biggest fear of leaving Leo.

I did not want to go rogue.

Kaira was weak, and I knew we would never be at a hundred per cent again.

I would have to train harder now, I doubted Sylvester would let me, but I will try.

I wished he had remained and done what he wanted to do.

I wanted comfort, and I was willing to do anything for it, but instead, he had to be a gentleman and walk away.

I lay on my bed and re-read Leo’s letter.

I could see it was a difficult situation for him.

He had given me closure with his letter.

I knew it was best to write a letter to him to provide closure.

I doubted Sylvester would let me send it, but I will try.

I went to my vanity table and took a piece of paper and a pen to write.

“Dear Leonardo, I received your letter, and I want you to know I am not angry.

The fact that you are alive and well is rewarding enough.

Thank you for the closure.

It really means a lot.

If it helps, I never blamed you for what happened to us.

We were victims of fate, even Amanda.

I know you have sworn never to replace me, but I beg you to give her her place.

Both of you are expecting.

Do not let my sacrifice be in vain, Leo.

I have joined the Wolf Lord’s pack, so my sanity is intact.

Do not waste my gift to you.

Live your life to the fullest and make the most of it.

Shower your love and affection on Amanda and your children; they deserve it.

Know that I am well, and the Wolf lord has been genuinely kind to all of us.

If we ever meet again, I pray it is in good health and joy.

You will always have a place in my heart.

Love Tamia.” 2 I read the letter a couple of times before folding it.

There were no envelopes in my room, but I was determined to give them to Sylvester to have them mailed in the morning.

I did not know if he would take offence, but I will try.

“I guess that chapter is closed,” Kaira said as we lay on the bed.

I could not give a definite answer because as long as we are all alive, no chapter is ever closed.

3 I went for breakfast in the morning, wearing the sheer clothes in my wardrobe against Sylvester’s warning.

Avery and Marcel were kissing when I arrived, and I knew he would have fucked her on the table if he could.

Linda was still reserved, but she was getting along with Theodore.

Sylvester was yet to grace us with his presence, so I went to sit in my usual spot and wait.

I greeted everyone present with the utmost respect, and Linda was the first to notice my mark was gone.

She smiled at me, and I nodded.

I was yet to adjust to being single.
