Shadows of Destiny

A Partial Claim ~Sylvester~ We returned home, and Tamia and I went to our bedroom to change.

The moment we entered our bedroom, I pulled her close to me.

“We should change and have dinner with everyone, deal with the Lily situation and then maybe you will choose to spend time with me tonight instead of your friends,” Tamia said to me and moved away.

I could smell her arousal, but she wanted me to work for it.

I understood her point and quickly changed into something simple.

I wanted to get the dinner over and return to spend time with my woman.

We headed downstairs, and I was surprised to see Katya at the table.

She looked nervous, but Tamia smiled at her, making her relax.

Glenda, whom I had banned from the table, was there too, and I looked at Dominic, who shrugged.

Not wanting to embarrass him, I let it rest.

“Hope you will be of best behaviour tonight, Glenda?” Tamia asked her, and she stood up and greeted Tamia and me respectfully.

I knew it was a pretence, and when I looked at my mother, I saw her rolling her eyes at what Glenda did.

Katya was sitting next to her.

“I invited her to join us,” My mother said quickly, and as much as I wanted to pretend not to know what she was doing, I knew exactly what she was doing.

She was trying to separate Dominic from Glenda.

Honestly, I was in support because the girl was just toxic.

1 I somehow believed Glenda had forced herself to join us, leaving Dominic to take responsibility for it.

It was just so low of her.

Avery and Marcel joined us; they looked like they had done something before coming down.

They smelled like it, and I looked at Tamia, who looked away from me, knowing exactly what she did.

Linda and Theo joined us, and the butler soon ushered Lily in.

She was very nervous and was made to sit next to Katya.

Dinner was served, and we ate quickly.

I wanted it over with.

“The game against the East was brutal,” Dominic said, and we laughed.

He wasn’t in on the plan.

“It was intentional,” Tamia told him, and I watched it click in his eyes.

“My, I learned those alphas were in the infirmary for a while, especially the red- haired, Nikson,” he said, trying to remember Kyle’s name, and we all laughed.

Honestly, beating him up physically and stripping him of his alpha status would have been the best punishment, but we did not want something that would cause a war between us, so we had to settle.

1 While we discussed the events, I wondered what Leo wanted to discuss with me.

It must have been important for him to go through the trouble of signing up for a sport in which he had no skill.

I also commend him because he played well.

We would have still won without the brutality, but the fact that they scored some points meant they put some effort into it.

After dinner, Tamia and I led Lily to the mini office in the duplex.

She was nervous, and she ought to be.

I wasn’t over her betraying and trying to ruin me.

If it weren’t for the fact that we needed her cooperation to make headway on the matter, I would have ensured she faced the ultimate punishment for treason: death.

I was sure no one would dispute it, not even her family.
