Shadows of Destiny

Know Your Place -Linda- I had to have a sandwich.

There was no way I would sit in the booth until noon before I ate.

A woman was selling delicious turkey sandwiches, and I went to her stall.

Besides my cravings, I did not want to sit alone in the booth with Avery.

Even though I chose to be oblivious of it, I noticed she had been acting strangely towards me since my bump started showing.

It had become so bad that I dared not make certain gestures around her.

I knew how she felt, but I believed it was unfair for her to act that way around me.

I hoped she got pregnant soon so I could have my friend back.

While I waited for the woman to put my sandwich together, I rubbed my bump and thought of the joy in my life.

Theodore took all my pain away.

Bit by bit, he broke down my defences and fixed them with his love.

He loved me through my fears and uncertainties.

After seeing what Sylvester did for Tamia, I knew I had nothing to worry about where Theo was concerned, and I was grateful for him.

Thanks to his love, I was a different person altogether.

I remember walking around drunk and sleeping with anyone who told me they found me attractive.

It wasn’t like I cared for them; I was just looking for a way out, anyone that would challenge that prick Kyle so he could set.

me free.

Then I met Eric, a delta breed and a warrior.

He said he loved me.

I could still remember it like yesterday.

*** I was depressed, and I wanted to visit someone.

I wanted to go somewhere, have fun and forget my troubles.

I had a bad headache from the alcohol I had consumed the night before, so I needed to take care of it before figuring out who I would visit.

I wanted to visit Avery that day, but I thought of what she was facing at home and decided against it.

I did not see her at the meeting, so I knew Max had locked her up again.

Tamia was the lukiest of us.

Leo was making an effort, and he still loved her.

She was still in charge, and no one dared her.

2 I wished I were in her shoes.

As much as I wanted to visit Tamia, I wasn’t as close to her as I was to Avery.

So I opted to go to a pharmacy to get painkillers and return to my home, which was also my prison and torture chamber.

I met Eric at the counter, and he was handsome.

One thing led to the other, and I found myself dating him.

It was supposed to be a fling, but we could not stop seeing each other.

He made me happy and helped me forget my troubles.

I was at peace around him, and he respected my body.

He was what I thought I needed in a man, and I became infatuated with him.

Eric began to plan how he would request to challenge Kyle, and I encouraged it.

But then I got pregnant and decided to run away with Eric and deal with the mark later.
