Shadows of Destiny

Chapter 74

The Lady In Peach ~Tamia~ Sylvester’s eyes lingered on her, not moving, not blinking.

I wondered if she was Susan.

I looked around, and I saw Leo looking at me with concern.

I could remember this scene from before.

It had happened to me before, but I did not want to believe it was happening to me again.

I saw Linda and Theodore dancing and did not want to call them.

Stephanie was talking to one of the guests, and Marcel was introducing Avery to people.

I did not know if I should squeeze Sylvester’s thigh or call his name.

“Sylvester,” I said with a breathy voice, and he did not respond.

My heart began to race.

“No, no, no, Tamia,” Kaira said in pain, and I contemplated waiting around to experience the disgrace that would ensue.

“Sylvester,” I said with a breathy voice again, but his eyes remained fixed on the blond woman in the peach dress, and I watched the words escape his lips.

“Mate“.

4 My eyes filled with tears immediately, but I fought them.

Even if I cried, it would not be in public.

It would not be in the eyes of Pamela and Leo.

It will not be before everyone.

So I held it together, but I was utterly broken inside.

The woman began to approach.

She was beautiful.

Hourglass shape, plump lips, doe eyes, oval– shaped face.

Perfect in every way.

I sat still, shaking inside.

Sylvester stared at her; to him, she was the only person in the world.

I understood the feeling; I had been there.

Every fibre of me wanted Devin.

I wanted him so badly, but I fought it.

I did not know where the strength came from, but I fought it.

It didn’t look like Sylvester was putting up a fight.

Sylvester was the wolf lord.

He did not need to fight it.

He was allowed to have mistresses and keep harems.

Being faithful to me was a choice for him and not an obligation.

He had not claimed me yet and did not need a blue moon to claim this woman.

I was truly fucked.

What if he accepts and claims her and chooses to keep me as his mistress because of his baby? If that ever happened to me, I would run away and not look back.

I sat still and watched her approach.

I wanted to chase her out of the hall and have the guards hurl her away, kicking and screaming, but I knew Sylvester wouldn’t have that.

She was his mate, after all.

Her eyes were teary as she approached.

She looked relieved and happy.

There was so much joy in her and a tinge of regret too.

Who was she? “Mate,” I heard Knight say with a growl, and my insides churned.

I could no longer speak.

Breathing was hard, but I sat still.

1 “Susan?” Sylvester said, and I figured out why they both strongly reacted to the mate bond.
