Shadows of Destiny

A firm hand -Sylvester- Leo and I spent a while in the booth, and soon it was time to join our families, so we left the booth.

While Leo walked me to my family’s booth so he could say hello to Tamia, Max and Kyle joined.

It was clear they were lurking around and waiting.

Leo shook his head, indicating I disagreed.

“Your Emminence, I believe a fated is more valuable than a chosen.

We feel it would be more…” Max said, and I looked at him.

“You are lucky I am in the spirit of forgiveness, Alpha Blanch.

I haven’t forgotten that you attacked my estate with your men.” I said, and he was silent.

“Tribute does not work that way.

There can be no swap.

As you can see, the women have moved on.

Avery is happy and will marry Marcel Sidorov during the blue moon.

Likewise, Linda is four months pregnant and will marry Theodore Orlov on the same day.

They are now ladies of the north and above you; they are not yours, so a swap cannot take place,” I said calmly as we walked towards my booth.

“What if we talk to..” I heard Kyle say, and I was irritated.

I stopped in my track and looked at him.

“You are lucky Theodore isn’t here.

He would have bashed your face in.

How dare you ask your men to fuck your wife for entertainment while you watch?” I asked, and Max gasped.

“You are lucky I am not your Alpha.

I would have stripped you of your title and seized your lands and money.

Then I would have had you locked up to serve time, but Leo seems a bit too liberal for the good of the east,” I said, and Maxwell looked at Kyle with disgust.

“It isn’t what you think.

I was..” Kyle said, trying to justify himself, but the words won’t come because what he did was wrong.

“You hurt that woman and traumatised her.

It took a lot for Theo to help her come out of it,” I told him, and he was silent.

Max had a judgemental look in his eyes.

“And you think you are smart,” I told Max.

“Asking your wife to shift so you can beat the shit out of your wife, and no one would know.

Who does that? With silver, Max? Mia has scars on her lovely white fur.

I can’t believe you all did these things because you had found your fated.

It is absurd.

I want to believe that your mates had agendas other than having you to themselves,” I said, and they were silent.

“Anyway, the answer is no.

You are lucky I am in good spirits or I would have taken disciplinary action against you to discourage others that plan on walking in your footsteps,” I said.

I looked ahead and saw my family’s booth.

“Well, I guess this is where we part,” I said, shook Leo and left them to go to my booth.

It was best for Leo to say hello to Tamia some other time because I did not want Marcel and Theo to deal with Max and Kyle outside the pitch.

I was happy that I had found myself an ally in Leo.

All that remained now was for the actual investigation to begin.

I got to the booth, and Tamia looked at me with expectant eyes.

I smiled at her and kissed her.

“I am alright, darling.

I am not as troubled as I was this morning, and Leo and I have made headway,” I said, and she raised her eyebrow at me, which made me smile.
