Shadows of Destiny

Girl Talk ~Tamia~ A week passed, and gradually the week of the dinner at Vino’s mansion was approaching.

Avery had a lot of tea parties in the garden, some of which Stephanie attended, and she was civil towards me.

We were never alone, so she never had the opportunity to tell me how she really felt.

Avery got what she wanted because she reeked of Marcel.

I guess he was head over heels for her.

On the other hand, Linda and Theodore were stagnant, and I knew Linda was the one setting the pace.

1 Sylvester had decided we all eat dinner in the small dining room like we used to.

His mother and Dominic still ate separately from us.

It was a welcomed development because eating in the room became tedious and boring.

We were still deciding what to wear to the dinner at Vino’s mansion, so Avery had linked me to join her at the Beta’s wing to discuss our outfit.

Linda and Avery avoided the alpha’s wing because of Dominic.

Although Stephanie was always pleasant, Dominic wasn’t, and his constant fights with Glenda made it worse.

I also found out he had orgies with some women in the harem.

Initially, I thought he was using them, but I let it go when I found out it was consensual.

1 “Where are you?” I heard Sylvester through the mind link.

I was trying to go to the Beta’s wing to see Avery, but I guess I would have to go back to my wing.

“On my way to see Avery, but I am coming back to our wing,” I replied.

“Great, meet me in my office,” he said.

I walked quickly and bumped into Stephanie on my way there.

I wasn’t comfortable being alone with her, and somehow she knew because she smiled at me.

“Good afternoon, Luna,” I greeted her, and she nodded.

“Did you change the food menu?” She asked me, and I shook my head, wondering why she would ask me that.

“I have not done anything here, Luna.

The only thing I did was prepare your rooms for your arrival,” I explained to her, and she searched my face.

“Do not break his heart, Tamia.

He is crazy about you.

I have never seen him act the way he did that afternoon over anyone.

Not even Susan,” She said, moving close to me and touching my hand.

“Sylvester is my joy; Tamia, do not hurt him,” She said with misty eyes.

“If anyone has the capacity to hurt anyone, it will be him hurting me.

He is alpha and he is lord.

I cannot hurt him,” I said, and she shook her head.

“The only people that can hurt him are you and me, Tamia.

People he loves have always been his vulnerability.

I am sorry about my behaviour when I got here, Tamia.

I really am, and I hope we can have a fresh start,” She said, and I smiled at her.

Even though I did not trust her words, I smiled at her because I knew it was a lot of effort for her to do what she was doing.

I excused myself and headed to Sylvester’s office.

I really did not know why he was calling me, but I hoped there wasn’t an issue.
