Shadows of Destiny
Chapter 36
Engagement Dinner ~Tamia~ Planning the engagement dinner was tedious, but Avery and Linda came through.
Linda had moved back to Theodore’s room, and even though he didn’t kick her out, he was guarded with her.
I noticed it during dinner.
Her actions hurt him, and he needed time to get over it, just like her.
Stephanie helped immensely with the seating arrangement and the menu of the engagement dinner, which made me realise she was over it.
I stood in the dance room and admired what we had done.
Stephanie was drinking a glass of wine with Avery while Linda drank juice.
We had worked for a day and a half, only taking breaks to eat and sleep; we were exhausted.
1 I wondered why Sylvester did not allow me to hire an event planner for this.
He refused to tell me, but I believed it had to do with trust and accessibility.
I joined the women at the table they were sitting at, and Stephanie smiled at me.
“You need to brace yourself, Tamia.
Northern Alphas are very stubborn, and most of them are chauvinists,” she said, and we all laughed.
“The east isn’t any different,” I told her, and Linda chose that moment to mimic Kyle.
“You are a woman.
What do you know about these matters? Leave it for the men to handle,” She said.
We all laughed.
“I see how well they handled the matter when the northern soldiers called.
They just shoved us in their faces, afraid.” She said, and honestly, that was precisely what happened to them.
We had all somehow kicked against them, banding with the south against the north, but they did not listen, only for the women to be given as peace offerings.
We didn’t commit the crime, yet we paid for 1.
“You won’t have that much trouble because of Sylvester.
He adores you, Stephanie said, and I smiled.
11 “How are things with Theodore?” She asked Linda, and Linda looked away, knowing it was her fault.
“The women in the harem were gossiping about you and the Gamma; that was how I got to know,” Stephanie said and smiled at Linda.
“Marcel and Theodore are alphas from prestigious families.
Their fathers occupied their present positions, and so did their fathers before them.
The rules that apply to Sylvester apply to them.
Even though they have not argued or fought anyone about it, they are going against tradition being with the two of you, and their families aren’t happy about it.
But it really doesn’t matter as long as they are happy,” She said and sighed.
1 “Why am I telling you this?” she said with a smile, guessing that was what we were thinking.
“It is because I have never seen men devoted to their women as these men are devoted to you three.
The ones before them were horrible.
They were so bad that we, their mates, accepted their ill- treatment as a norm.
They engaged in all kinds of orgies and torture.
We dared not speak or complain.
Our duties as their wives were defined, and we had to stay within those confinements, or we would be in trouble.
When I see how Sylvester is with you, Tamia, I wish Maurice loved me that way.
But the truth is he didn’t.
I was just a tool to him.
This is why I am telling you this, Linda.
