The Dark Side Of Fate By Karima Sa’ad Usman Chapter 13

13 The Severance

~Tamia~

I had spent two weeks in the north, and my living conditions remained the same.

Slyvester was good company when he wanted to be and was silent most of the time.

As much as people feared him, I was a bit relaxed around him.

He exuded much power, but I did not let it faze me. In fact, I saw it as a challenge.

I spent a lot of time in the library and in my room.

We had beauty treatments every other day, and I noticed love blooming between Avery and Marcel, the Beta.

I was happy for her. I saw her smile in ways I had never seen before, and I wondered how far they were willing to go with this.

I met other Lunas that were in service, and while some of them were happy, some were neutral about their condition. But no one was abused or maltreated.

They treated the women nicely; some had even found love in the north with a warrior or an officer. It was like an everyday life, not the slave and master scenario painted for us.

It comes down to saying people never really know the truth about anything unless they are in it and experience it first -hand.

I lay on my bed, wondering what Leo was doing. I was sure Amanda was over the moon about my exit. It would no longer be three nights a week for her anymore. She gets to keep her fated to herself and, in a few months, welcome their pups into the world.

I was happy for them but sad for me, because they have something I will never have, A home, family, love and continuation in their pups. My future wasn’t really certain because the alpha was unreadable.

“Come to the east garden, Marcel; let me throw a cocktail party there,” I heard Avery’s voice, and I managed to get off the bed.

I was getting bored of the sheer clothes in my wardrobe, but it seemed the alpha wanted to feed his eyes all the time.

I wore a peach dress that looked like a tunic with sandals and headed out.

Sylvester walked out of a room that had huge doors; I figured that was his bedroom, and Lilly followed after him. I figured the rumours about him fucking her were true.

He saw me and stopped. I held his gaze as always and looked at Lilly, who was blushing. She was trying to send a message, and I smiled at her.

“I would not want to interrupt you,” I said and tried to excuse myself, but he held me back.

He grabbed my wrist, pulled me to his body, spun me around, held my neck gently, and leaned close to my ear.

“Leave us!” he ordered Lilly, and she quickly moved away.

“Where do you think you are going dressed like that?” He asked, and I swallowed. His pinewood scent was intoxicating.

“Avery is having a cocktail party in the east garden,” I managed.

“You should only dress like this for me, green-eyes,” he said.
