Shadows of Destiny

Who Poisoned Me ~Tamia~ Leaving Sylvester to talk to his officers, I decided to speak to Alpha Jake about certain things.

I also needed Avery and Linda’s support.

There were certain things I needed to discuss with him.

If I had dwelled on the issues, they would have caused severe problems.

I went over the poisoning, and after all that had happened, certain things finally fell into place.

I had spent most of the time since I returned wondering why anyone would try to kill me with poison.

Had I not been pregnant and vomiting, I might have died.

The vomiting helped me empty my system of the poison, and only a trace amount got into my bloodstream.

Now that I had figured out why, it was time to speak to alpha Jake about it because it was very sensitive.

We met Stephanie on the way to the lounge, where Alpha Jake was waiting for us, and she was a wreck.

I asked Linda and Avery to go ahead of me while I remained to speak to Stephanie.

I watched them walk away.

Jake was in the lounge in my wing, so they joined him while Stephanie and I walked toward her room to avoid eavesdroppers.

Knowing that staff members were working for the uprising, we needed to be extra careful, especially knowing what they planned to do to Stephanie.

We entered her room, and she began to pace about.

“You need to keep your shit together, Stephanie.

We do not know what these people have or if they have anything at all.

Keep behaving like this, and you will slip up.

I need you to act as if nothing has happened and not admit to anything or get into a heated argument with anyone,” I said and went to hold her shoulders.

Holding her still, I stared into her eyes.

“You need to snap out of this shit, Stephanie.

You are a luna, for goddess’s sake.

It is not in our nature to show weakness or crumble under pressure.

I want you to wipe the fear and pity off your face and walk about the place with your head held up high.

Sylvester has a lot of shit to deal with, and your current behaviour isn’t helping at all,” I warned her, slightly irritated.

I guess it was my hormones.

I have been a bit too emotional lately.

“So what, you committed a crime? Everyone has a secret, Stephanie.

Stop thinking the worse and make yourself useful by helping us catch the ladies working for the organisation.

I will be doing a major sweep of the estate today, and you will be helping with it,” I said, and she widened her eyes.

“We need all the help we can get,” I told her, and she frowned.

“What will we do to them if we catch them?” She asked me, and I felt rage in me.

“We have limited cells in the dungeon.

Those who are forthcoming with information will get accommodation in the cells.

Those who aren’t will be executed immediately,” I said, and she widened her eyes.

“We aren’t allowed to do that,” she said, and I chuckled.

“And who will stop us?” I asked her.

I was sick and tired of all the nonsense.

The people we were against were cowards.

I would have had more respect for them if they had waged war against us.

Then we really know that they are fit to lead.

This intellectual attack was a cowardly approach.
