Shadows of Destiny

Going Home ~Tamia- This was unheard of.

We sat on the grass for thirty minutes, and nothing.

“Do you feel anything? Is your wolf weak? “I asked, and he shook his head.

“Wow,” I said, and he chuckled lightly.

“Sylvester is lucky to have you,” he confessed, and I bowed my head.

“You were right, Tamia.

I should have seized that moment, but I didn’t.

It is my loss,” he said, and I smiled at him.

“I know you will find someone that will love you genuinely, Devin, but please stop fighting Sylvester.

He isn’t a bad guy,” I said, and he laughed.

“It’s funny you ask me not to fight the guy you rejected me for,” he said, and I knew I sounded a bit stupid.

1 “But I understand.

Because there was no love between us, all my longing for you is gone, and I am sure the same for you.

I guess the bond is only a guide to help us build a relationship and fall in love, hence why Leo has been unable to get over you,” he said and touched my hand and kissed it gently.

“I liked you from the moment I saw you, and I still do.

I won’t attack Sylvester because of you, Tamia, but if he looks for my trouble, I will give it to him,” He said, and I could feel pain and heartbreak in his eyes, even though he was trying to hide it.

“You will find someone worthy,” I said to him, and he nodded and stood up.

“I doubt she will be anything like you, Tamia.

You are one of a kind,” He said, and I smiled.

2 He stretched his hands and helped me stand up.

Then pulled me close and kissed I let him, and he broke the kiss.

“I will remember this, Tamia and I will always seize my moment so I do not lose out.

If he ever hurts you, you can call on me, Tamia,” He said and caressed my cheek longingly.

1 “I will always answer you whenever you call me.

I promise you.

I do not know why this rejection did not hurt or weaken us, but I am glad that other than the heartache, we did not lose much,” he said, and I kissed his palm, hoping I hadn’t made a mistake and condemned myself for nothing.

He held my hand, and I could see he was reluctant to let go.

“Bond aside, just like Sylvester, I too would have fallen in love with you, and maybe I had a little bit that night,” He said.

We both chuckled lightly.

He patted my cheek and left me in the gardens, and as he walked away, my heart was overcome with fear.

Fear of the unknown.

This was my chance to be with my fated, and I had thrown it away.

I prayed to the goddess that I had not made a wrong choice and that this would not end up hurting me.

2 I returned to the party and sat on the high table next to Avery.

“Goddes, Tamia, you looked ravaged,” She said, and I felt tears wanting to fall.

I felt I had wronged Sylvester and cheated on him by letting Devin kiss me and touch.
