Shadows of Destiny

~Tamia~ I was glad when Sylvester returned home.

I felt him snuggle into bed with me in the early hours of the morning, and the fact that he was home with me made me thankful.

It was hard to express my fear.

I woke up early and snuck out of bed.

Sylvester was still asleep, so I decided to let him rest.

I freshened up in the bathroom and headed out to speak to Stephanie, Katya and Nicole about the wedding plans.

The truth was we couldn’t continue to put it off; we needed all hands on deck, and those were the ones available.

Due to my last experience, I did not want to trust the planner without having people there to watch her if she wasn’t getting it right.

I knocked on Stephanie’s door, and it took a while for her to let me in.

I stepped in and could pick up Jake’s scent in the room but kept it to myself.

So much for being just friends with the Alpha.

Stephanie seemed to be getting her groove back.

I maintained a stoic face and went to sit on the couch.

“Good morning, Luna,” I said, and Stephanie smiled at me.

“Out with it, Tamia; I know you smell him,” she said, and I laughed, then made a lip-sealing gesture, and she smiled at me.

“What can I help you with?” She said, knowing I must have needed something to show up in her room the way I did.

“I need you to help plan our wedding; of course, Katya and Nicole will help, but since we are too occupied to do anything, I was hoping you could do it for us,” I said, and she beamed at me.

“I get to plan my sons’ wedding; why not?” she said, and I was thrilled.

I got off the couch and hugged her.

Stephanie was slightly off, so it hit me that Jake might still be in that room.

I decided to take my leave.

“Do you mind telling Katya and Nicole on our behalf? Katya should be happy; it’s her wedding, too,” I said, and she nodded, wanting me to leave the room badly.

I got to the door and touched the knob.

“Tell Alpha Jake that he should make sure he rounds up and make himself available in Sylvester’s lounge before the lord wakes up,” I said, and Stephanie sighed.

“Oh, Tamia,” she said, and I giggled and opened the door.

I stepped out of Stephanie’s room, still giggling.

Done with it, I returned to my bedroom to rest.

I went to lie down, and soon I fell asleep too.

I woke up later, and it was almost noon.

Sylvester was awake, and he was getting dressed.

“You are finally up,” I said, and he giggled.

“You are the one that was sleeping, Green-eyes,” he said, and I shook my head.

“I woke up, freshened up and returned to bed,” I said, and he looked at me and smiled.

I got off the bed and handed him a paper with the list of names on Amanda’s flash drive.

I handed it to Sylvester, and he glanced through the content.

“Those are the list of names we got from the flash drive.

Maybe we can use it to question the prisoners,” I said, and he sighed.

“For now, I won’t be able to question them.

They have requested to be brought before the council.

A request I have deliberately denied according to our plan,” He said, and I was surprised.
