Shadows of Destiny

Mother and Son -Sylvester- The altercation at the club got to me.

I was worried that Tamia would believe Dominic.

She had just come out of a serious heartbreak, so it was normal that she would be guarded.

I wanted the evening to be fun and an experience for Tamia, but they ruined it.

I respected how Tamia took it, but Dominic was wrong, and I was determined to put him in his place.

When Tamia wrapped her arms around me and told me she trusted me, I was relieved and determined never to break that trust.

I might not have confessed my feelings, but I wasn’t confused about them.

I was sure, and I could see it in her eyes too.

Loving her will be easy.

I woke up very early to go and see my mother in Lucland.

I could not disregard the summon.

Although I was not enthusiastic about it because I would see Dominic, I had to see my mother.

I got out of bed, and looked at Tamia sleeping peacefully in my t-shirt.

I was tempted to wake her up and make love to her before leaving, but I decided against it last minute.

I knew she might be tired and needed her energy.

So I kissed her gently and went to get ready to leave.

I needed to arrive at Lucland for breakfast.

I hoped I wouldn’t have to spend the night there so I could come home to Tamia.

Our relationship was new and young; distance and time apart won’t help it blossom.

I dressed quietly and headed out of the house.

I linked Marcel on my way out.

“Hey, I am on my way to visit my mother.

I didn’t tell Tamia I was going out; please apologise on my behalf and tell her where I went,” I linked him.

“Alright, she is in good hands,” he assured me, and I thanked him.

I left the estate feeling giddy.

I haven’t been in a serious relationship since Susan, but what I had with Tamia, however short, was mature and real.

She understood me.

Knew when to act, how to act and speak.

She was strong and determined.

She was resilient and wise.

She was perfect.

I drove with a smile, remembering all we did yesterday.

Her moans, her response, her grinding against me in the club, and even her responses to Dominic.

I arrived at our house in Lucland, and I was in time for breakfast.

I entered the room and greeted my mother.

She did not respond, and I knew Dominic must have told her shit because she was mad.

Dominic wasn’t with her.

“Mother?” I said and went to sit next to her.

I served myself a glass of juice, and she looked at me.

“I thought you wouldn’t come,” She said, and I kissed the top of her head, but her countenance made me sense she was angry.

I sat beside her and served my food, bracing myself for the coming argument.

“Look at where I live.” She finally spoke, and I frowned at her.

“I was Luna of the north, wife of the wolf lord, and now I live in a duplex because of Bane.

Instead of you hunting him down, you are busy fooling around with the whores you took from the east,” She said, and I balled my fist.

“When did you lose your way, Sylvester? Did I not raise you right? What happened to your sense of duty and leadership? What happened to your morales?” She asked, and I was silent.

“Mother, why do you always take his side?” I asked her, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Because Dominic is responsible.
