Shadows of Destiny

The Plan ~Sylvester~ Tamia and I showered together and dressed up for breakfast.

Marcel linked me three times, saying they were all waiting for us.

Apparently, Tamia had ordered that we have breakfast together without telling me.

I was sure she had her reasons, and after our new resolve, I knew she meant well.

We rushed towards the large dining room.

It was almost nine-thirty.

We arrived, and I saw that Linda and Avery were already eating.

It was cute seeing them stop when Tamia and I entered.

Linda looked as if she had been caught committing a crime.

I wanted to laugh.

Alpha Jake stood up to greet me, and so did Marcel, Theo and Dominic.

It was an official breakfast, and I could understand why Tamia would organise it.

It was a show of respect to Alpha Jake Brighton, telling him he was welcomed in our home.

“I am sorry we are late.

I went on a hunt this morning and got carried away,” I explained, pulling out Tamia’s chair for her to sit on.

I looked at my mother, who had dark circles, and she smiled at me.

“I know what happened.

I need you to relax, okay?” I assured her through the mind link, and she nodded immediately.

I served Tamia’s meal before serving mine, and she smiled at me.

Taking a sip of the juice, I looked at Alpha Jake.

“I am glad we can settle our differences.

Thank you for the information you gave us.

We are putting it to good use,” I told him, and he smiled and thanked me.

“I will also want to use this opportunity to tell you that I appreciate your loyalty and cooperation,” I said, and he nodded.

“You have my loyalty, your eminence.

I also want to thank you for the new hospital project in Brighton and the school renovation.

It is a much-needed and welcomed development,” he said, and I smiled at him.

Breakfast went smoothly, and when we were done, I asked Marcel, Theo and Dominic to join me for a private meeting before Devin and Leo arrived at the mansion.

I hoped, for all our sakes, Leo would keep it together and not do anything that would alert Ramsey or Amanda.

I wasn’t sure of the woman’s role in the whole mess, but one certain thing was that she was indeed a channel.

We went to my office, and everyone made themselves comfortable.
