Shadows of Destiny

I woke up early in the morning feeling well-rested and pumped up for the adventure.

I had slept in the clothes I ate dinner with, so the flash drive was still in my pocket.

I placed it in a drawer in the closet before showering and getting ready.

Theodore had set out the game for the afternoon so Kyle and Max could join in.

I wonder how Theodore and Marcel would handle those men, but the situation forced us to collaborate with them.

It was weird.

I was working with Devin and Leo, and Theo and Marcel had to put up with Kyle and Max, all for the greater good.

All our issues seemed trivial compared to solving the problem at hand.

Even if we did not catch the king, the rapid arrest would slow them down or stop them completely.

Installing me as king would give us more power over the following events.

The main aim was for the four of us to wed in peace and have some quiet time with our mates before we continued the search.

If the King’s name happened to be among the names in the drive Amanda gave us, then we would have hit the jackpot.

Either way, I see peace in our near future, whether short-term or long-term.

It was better than nothing.

I finished dressing up and exited the closet when Tamia stood akimbo looking at me.

“Good morning, darling,” I said and went to her.

“What a nice way to want to sneak off,” She said, sounding hurt and betrayed.

I knew Tamia would want to be a part of the action, but I needed to deny her the thrill this time.

“You have Iris to question and the drive to look into,” I said, avoiding telling her she could not follow me.

“I wouldn’t follow you even if the opportunity presented itself,” She said, and we laughed.

“But I need you to be careful,” she said with concern.

“If they have started thinking of gunning people down, you are not safe either.

What if they decide to go for you?” she asked a valid question, and I knew it was a risk I would have to take.

I also knew that killing me won’t give them what they wanted.

They needed to discredit me, my bloodline, and my friends to install a new king and make the people accept their decision.

They couldn’t do that with me dead.

Causing a war was their best bet, but I kept it to myself and smiled at my mate.

“I think whoever this king is, wants me to suffer.

I am going to hope that is his goal and push.

Once we arrest the people in question, we would tread with caution.” I assured her, and Tamia did not seem convinced.

“Just come home to me, Sylvester.

Asking me to carry on without you will be asking for too much,” she said, and I knew she meant her words.

With that, I knew failure wasn’t an option.

We kissed, and I headed out.

We all converged outside at the entrance and left in different vehicles.
