Shadows of Destiny

Sylvester looked breathtaking, sitting at the foot of the bed. I exhaled, and he looked at me and smiled.

I could not let what Stephanie said spoil the night, so I returned the smile. I looked at his body and

admired what I saw.

“Your Majesty,” I said with a breathy voice, and he grinned.

“Hold your pose; I want to have a perfect picture in my mind,” I said and straddled him. He looked at

me and supported my back, gazing into my eyes.

“I want to remember how you look tonight, void of worry, void of fear, just living in the moment,” I said,

his eyes searching mine.

“Let us deny all that is happening and that time is passing by. I want to hold this moment, freeze it and

keep it forever. Let us free our minds of our troubles, Amanda, the king, our duties, our world. Just us.

You, me and our wolves. Do you think you can do that for me, my love?” I asked, and he looked at me

with misty loving eyes and crashed his lips on mine. Drinking him in, drowning in his love, I gave my all

as we made love on his first night as king.

Sylvester and I battled the claim, and it was a bit painful because Kaira and Knight wanted to complete

the bond. The love bite wasn’t working anymore, and we both knew it, but we held on. The bluemoon

night had to count.

We were too tired to go for dinner, and neither were we hungry. Sleep finally came, and we drifted into

dreamland.

I woke up on an empty bed in the morning and saw Sylvester on his computer. I ignored what he was

doing. I got off the bed and went to brush my teeth. When I returned, he had closed his laptop and was

waiting for me.

“Good morning,” He said with a smile, and I went to him and kissed the top of his head in response.

While I was pulling away, he pulled me onto his lap and hungrily kissed me.

“I am not a little boy, Tamia,” He said, breaking the kiss, and I giggled.

I also noticed something was bothering him. I guess our bliss was over.

“What is the matter?” I asked, and he sighed.

“Someone sent a weird email this morning. Asking me how fair and just I will be when judging the case

of a loved one,” he said, and I did not need to think twice about who the loved one was.

“The sender going by the name Mathew Majesty asked me my true intentions. Wondering if I would

succeed where the council has failed,” he said, and I frowned.

“Have you traced it?” I asked, and he chuckled.
