The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 127 – ~Sylvester~

I waited for Tamia in the western garden. I had the staff prepare a picnic for us. I stood and paced around the garden waiting for Tamia to join me. I was told Leo had sent for her, and it had something to do with Amanda. I wasn’t worried, but I did not like that she would be dragged into their mess.

They chose each other they should leave my mate out of it, but Leo was yet to learn that Tamia was permanently out of his life.

I would leave the issue for both of them to resolve. I might have approved a friendship, but it was wrong for Leo to involve Tamia in his problems with Amanda, the woman he broke her heart for.

Soon I saw Tamia approaching, and she had a broad grin. It was clear whatever Leo called her for had no adverse effect on her.

She rushed at me, and I lifted her from the ground, and we kissed passionately.

It felt so good holding her in my arms in the garden. Breaking the kiss, she looked around at what I had prepared for our time together and was beaming.

“It’s lovely, Sylvester,” she said, almost on the verge of tears, and I held her to my chest. That was when I caught Leo’s scent.

Had he been hugging my mate? I controlled Knight and broke the hug gently.

“Jealousy does not suit you, big guy. He rejected Amanda, and she left. He needed a shoulder to cry on. You, of all people, know the emptiness that comes with rejection,” She said, knowing exactly what was the matter with me, and I smiled because it was okay.

“You can’t blame me for being possessive,” I teased.

We sat and enjoyed the scenery.

I rested my head on her laps, and she ran her fingers through my hair. We were catching our breaths and relaxing. I noticed Tamia had been overwhelmed lately, despite not complaining about it. I knew it, and I was glad we were relaxing.

“Stephanie, Katya and Nicole are planning our big day,” She said, and I already had that information. David had told me when I took Dominic to see him. He was still with Dominic, and I hoped my brother would let our half-sibling in.

“I know; David told me when I took Dominic to see him,” I said, and she giggled.

“How did Dominic handle seeing him?” She asked, knowing how Dominic was.

“He was shocked to see how much David looked like our father. Dominic liked our father, so it was easy for him to look past the Alissa thing. They are together as we speak.” I said, and she sighed.

“The conversation Amanda had with Annika was a bit weird. I did not want to say much, but I think we should keep an eye on her, Sylvester. I asked Wilson to put a Kappa on her just in case her name comes up somewhere in the middle of all this; we would know where to get her,” She said, and I sat up.

“How weird was it?” I asked her, worried because everyone wasn’t comfortable with Amanda’s business, and there had to be something to it.
