Shadows of Destiny

Sniffing Them Out ~Tamia~ My discussion with Alpha Jake was intense, but I was glad we were able to come to an understanding.

I knew I was a bit stern, but I needed to clarify my point.

I also needed him to know I did him a big favour by not pushing Sylvester to investigate my poisoning.

The fact that I was pregnant when it occurred would have summed it up as treason.

Deep down, I hoped our plan worked out so we could plan our weddings peacefully.

Alpha Jake seemed sad after our discussion, and Stephanie came to join us.

Her dark circles were gone, and she was in high spirits.

She also looked great.

“I hope I did not take too long?” She asked, sitting beside Alpha Jake and smiling at us.

It was awkward seeing that she was the only one smiling after the difficult conversation I had with Alpha Jake.

Stephanie soon realised she was the only one in high spirits and stopped smiling.

“What happened?” she asked, and even though I did not want to speak about it, Alpha Jake volunteered the answer.

“Luna Tamia believes my daughter Iris must have tried to kill her with poison to get back at your son for not choosing her, and also, she believes she might be working for the uprising, so she asked me to bring her for questioning,” he said, summing it up.

Stephanie nodded.

“The poisoning part is true.

She was poisoned in your pack, Jake.

I saw it.

We had to bring a doctor to flush her system.” Stephanie said, and the fear in Jake’s eyes was more pronounced.

He had secretly hoped it was a coincidence, but hearing Stephanie say the same thing made him realise it might not be a coincidence.

“I do not know what I would do if she is guilty.

She is my only daughter,” he confessed, and Stephanie touched his hand gently.

“They are all grown, Jake.

We have done our best by raising them and giving them the best.

We have taught them right from wrong and tried to guide them.

We should not blame ourselves if they choose to part from teachings in adulthood.

At the end of the day, they are independent of us and will continue to exist when we are gone.

The best we can do is wish them the best and pray they learn from their mistakes.

We, as parents, cannot give more than we have given.

You shouldn’t feel guilty for this, Jake.

You tried.

If Iris decides to be like her mother, then it isn’t your fault,” she said, trying to calm him down, but it did not work.

The man was in knots.

“I think it is time to have Liam help identify the people that threatened him,” I said, standing up and trying to avoid the awkward situation.

Everyone agreed, and I linked Kappa Wilson to help line up everyone in the estate so Liam could sniff the culprits out.

It took thirty minutes for Wilson to accomplish it, and soon he linked me to inform me the task was done.

I got up and asked everyone to follow me to the eastern garden, where everyone was waiting.

We walked towards the garden silently, and I prayed it would yield something.

We needed to catch as many people as possible to either force the leader out or make them go silent.

Either outcome was better than what was happening.

Arriving at the garden, I was surprised to see many people, along with the trophies, lined up to be checked.

They looked worried and puzzled.
