The Dark Side Of Fate

~Sylvester~

I held Tamia for a bit. I could feel the heaviness in her heart. She feared that if this lingered, we would spend too much time away from Liam and Harper. As things were, we were already missing out on a lot.

We had nine more days to go, and everything would end.

“I can’t imagine my children not knowing me. You needed to see how indifferent Amelia was with her mother,” she said and sniffled. Then she broke away.

“It wasn’t like she was being mean. She just couldn’t connect with the woman. There was no bond between them,” Tamia said, and I wiped away her tears.

“Amelia grew up in an orphanage and has been through many things. I am sure she hasn’t been vocal about all her ordeals. The harsh reality of her life has made her numb to certain things. You cannot expect her to show emotions like normal children. Her brothers did not grow up in an orphanage where they were labelled freaks. They both have memories of their parents, however brief. Amelia has nothing. She was kicked out at eighteen and lived on the streets for a while. Many things might have happened to her on the streets before she met Leo. She did not have the protection and guidance most people had growing up. Being distant, for Tamia, is normal. Do not worry about her; she will come around. But, the woman should not expect a mother-daughter relationship because it would never be like that. She has missed out on the bonding years,” I said, and Tamia sighed and nodded. She understood my point.

“She is an Alpha, you know,” She said, and it was surprising that Amelia’s mother was an Alpha. I wonder if Luis mated with her for love or her breed.

“Soon, she won’t have to go about disguised like a mad woman anymore,” I said, and Tamia sighed.

“I hope Amelia allows her to build a relationship because the woman seems really happy to see Amelia. The deep sorrow in her eyes says it all.’ She said and fell back into my arms so I could hold her.

“We should end this bastard so he does not rob us of happiness. I doubt I can go any longer without my children.” She said, and I gently caressed her back.

She broke the hug eventually, and I decided to discuss Erik’s help with Tamia.

“I need to ask for your advice,” I confessed, and Tamia looked at me.

“Won’t you shower first?’ She asked me, and I shook my head.
