~Tamia~

Stephanie did not look well. Her eyes were swollen, and her hands were shaking. It was clear that she had been crying.

I wanted to ignore her, but I couldn’t. I knew Sylvester wouldn’t, so I decided to show some concern.

“Are you alright?” I asked, and she looked at me and shook her head.

“I am not, Tamia. Everything is falling apart. Dominic won’t come out of his room. He said he feels like a nobody. I have tried to talk him out of it, but he is too ashamed to let himself mingle,” She said, and I nodded.

“You need to give him time, Stephanie. He had a near-death experience. If Bryce had not confessed, he might have been dead by now. He will need time to recover from it,” I said, and she hugged me and began to cry.

I did not know what to tell her. So I hugged her in return and patted her back.

“You need to take it easy, Stephanie. Crying won’t fix him. You need to find the things and people that make him happy and try to surround him with them,” I said, and she sighed and bowed.

She looked at me and studied me.

“You will be the Lady of the north soon, Tamia; there are things I need to tell you. Things that I swore to take to my grave but I suspect are part of why all these are happening to my sons,” She said, and I was surprised that she was willing to trust me with her secret.

“Are you sure you want to tell me?” I asked her, and she nodded.

“You will be Luna soon and rule by his side. You’re already doing it, and unlike me, your Alpha loves you and gives you freedom. You take part in council discussions and give advice. None of which I was allowed in my time. You give northern women hope, Tamia.” She said and sighed.

“There are things I need to tell for the sake of the Volkov bloodline. You need to know that you have a Volkov growing inside you. You need to know the truth about Maurice and our children..” She said, and my mind went to what Jake had told me.

Was she planning on telling me the truth, or was she planning on deceiving me like she might have deceived her children?

“Does it have anything to do with what is going on?” I asked, and she paused, looking at me. She was contemplating what to tell me. She was sizing me up, and I wasn’t angry at all.
