Shadows of Destiny

Too Little Too Late ~Tamia~ I spent thirty minutes more in Stephanie’s room until she fell asleep.

Then I asked a maid to remove the green drink from the room and returned to mine.

I was surprised that Sylvester hadn’t returned, and I wondered what was keeping him.

I decided to link him.

“How is it going?” I asked him.

“I am on my way,” he replied, and I did not like the answer.

If it were something good, he would have said ‘great’ or ‘we caught them’ or ‘ he was cooperative’, but his response implied he wanted to discuss something serious with me.

Had he learned about Jenny’s computer too? I sat up in bed and waited.

Sylvester walked in ten minutes later.

He did not say anything.

Instead, he went to the bathroom, showered and slipped into something comfortable before coming to bed.

I sat up, waiting for him.

He leaned close and kissed me passionately, then rested his forehead against mine and sighed.

Breaking away, he buried his nose in my neck and held me to his body.

“Tamia,” he breathed, and I knew he was troubled.

I touched his head and ran my fingers through his hair to calm him down.

He must have learned something horrible.

We honestly deserved a break.

“Tell me,” I said, and he squeezed me tightly.

“He talked.

Liam spilt everything, and it isn’t good,” he said and broke away so we could keep eye contact.

“I wasn’t going to tell you any of it so you won’t get upset, but I can’t keep secrets from you, Tamia, you are my better half, and I do not want to lose your trust.

So I will go against my better judgement and tell you.

Please do not get upset,” he said, and I smiled at him.

“As long as it does not involve you being with another woman, I can deal,” I said, giggling, and he smiled at me.

“Far from it,” he said, and I already knew it.

He told me everything Liam had split, and I was in shock.

I tried to hide it, but I couldn’t.

I saw the implications of what they were doing.

I was mad.

Getting a Sidorov and an Orlov involved meant big trouble for Marcel and Theodore.

“I am trying to seek Devin’s help.

So far, they have been unable to get into his territory,” He said, and I wondered if Devin would want to help him out.

Knowing how much Devin hated Sylvester and his family.

“He is very tight with his alphas and ruthless too.

Leo is lenient, so I can understand them corrupting some of his people.

Devin’s family has led the south for many years.

Power shifted to Leo recently; before then, Ramsey’s family was in charge,” I said, and he looked at me wide-eyed.

It seemed like a light bulb had turned on in his head.

It was cute.

“Why didn’t I see it from that angle?” He said, asking himself and not me.

“Of course, Ramsey has a reason to work against Leo.

Now I see everything,” he said, and I did not know what to think.

Sylvester looked like he was reasoning alone.

“Getting his daughter into your home.” He said, counting, using his fingers, and I was trying to make sense of his words.
