Shadows of Destiny

Finding what to wear for the Coronation was a bit challenging, especially with our bumps.

Avery was the only one in the clear because she wasn’t showing up yet, so she got the best dresses to try on.

Linda was worse off than me and had to shop from very loose selections to accommodate her pregnancy but look sexy at the same time.

I was in between.

Nicole and Katya were free to choose from anywhere.

We tried on many clothes.

After all, we all wanted to wear the same colour none of us would be with our men on that day because we weren’t married yet; we would be going there strictly for moral support.

After the wedding, we would be one and the same without a mate.

Only the Lords would be at the top with Sylvester.

Thinking of it, I did not want to go again.

Sitting away from him and watching him from a distance did not feel good at all.

But I knew it would be insensitive of me not to be present.

We bought beautiful lilac dresses good enough for a function but nothing over the top that would draw attention to us.

We all chose to wear the same colour as Stephanie to show we were family.

Satisfied with our purchase, we returned to the Estate.

It was nighttime, and I just went to my room and asked an Omega to bring me food.

I decided I would eat in the room.

Sylvester was already sleeping; it was too early, but I figured his day might have been hectic.

I freshened up, and the food arrived.

I ate quietly and went to bed.

It was a bad habit, but I was too tired to stay awake and wait for the food to digest.

Sylvester’s coronation day had finally come, and I was nervous.

We were to converge at the council hall, the King’s Hall onwards.

I was excited, and I dressed up; I had butterflies.

Sylvester was taking his time in the closet, and I was too eager to see him in his new uniform.

I walked into the closet, and he was handsome.

The jacket was regally decorated, and his hair was packed in a ponytail.

“Goddess, you are handsome,” I breathed, letting the words out before I knew it.

He looked at me through the mirror and smiled.

“I watched him as he managed to button up the jacket.

Once he was done, he pulled me close and kissed my neck.

“Soon, you will be by my side.

The blue moon is next week,” he whispered in my ears, and I moaned.

“Sylvester,” I breathed.

“Hold that thought,” he said and nibbled my earlobe gently, making heat rush between my legs.

“I can smell you, Tamia,” he whispered, but I couldn’t speak.

“I want to get wild tonight, so I will keep things as they are, and you will think of me throughout the ceremony,” He said, and I knew what he planned on doing.

We finished in the room and headed out.

The Coronation would take about an hour and thirty minutes, but it looked like it would be a long hour because Sylvester got me worked up.

He held my hand firmly while we walked through the hallway.

Just mean.

When we got to the entrance, everyone was there.
