Shadows of Destiny

A Jump.

-Tamia- Long after Sylvester and I returned to our room, Dominic banged on our door.

I was initially afraid of the douchebag, but I was angry now that Sylvester was back.

Sylvester seemed like he wanted to ignore his brother but opened the door last minute because the guy wouldn’t stop banging.

The man walked into our bedroom angrily.

He looked at me, and I could see his hatred for me.

Honestly, I did not know what his deal was, but it was clear I was in his bad books for no reason.

“You may be the Wolf Lord, but you have not right to interfere with my investigation,” He said to Sylvester, and Sylvester did not respond.

“Mother would have been killed, and these women would have been roaming free,” He said, and Sylvester nodded.

“Yes, they would have been roaming free, Dominic.

Why punish people for a crime they did not commit?” Sylvester asked him, and Dominic was shocked at Sylvester’s response.

“She knew mother was in Lucland,” He argued, and Sylvester shook his head.

“She did not know where she was in Lucland.

The only people with that information were me, you and the council, so don’t try to pin this on Tamia.

Besides, she will never do anything to hurt me, and as for Devin, I doubt he has a hand in this.

It is not his style,” Sylvester said, voicing his opinion.

“What happened to you? You used to be so focused and stern.

Now you seem pussy whipped,” Dominic said, and Sylvester laughed.

“Nothing happened to me, Dominic.

I am not a madman and won’t start acting like one because you want me to.

The east has its hands full, and Tamia is a member of my pack.

She has no reason to fight against me or hurt our mother.

You need to drop it, Dominic.

As things are, I am relieving you of the right to come into this estate and order my men around.

Whatever you need to do has to pass through me, and Tamia should be afforded respect.

On no account should you ever try to question or hurt her again,” he said, and Dominic looked disappointed.

“She will be your downfall, Sylvester, and I will laugh at you when that happens.” He told him and then looked at me.

1 “Your position isn’t secure.

He has been trying to fill a void Susan left for eleven years.

You might think he is head over heels for you now, but if Susan ever returns, he will dump you in a heartbeat.

Just don’t get comfortable,” he said and excused himself.

Sylvester was mad about his brother’s words, but I left the bed, hugged him from behind, and kissed his back.

“Don’t let it bother you.

His words can’t get to me,” I assured Sylvester, but he was still mad.

We left the room to have dinner, and I wondered how Avery and Linda were doing because we were all in the same predicament.

The dining room was silent, and Sylvester and I took our seats; Marcel and Theodore were angry.
