The Dark Side Of Fate

158 King’s Hall Sentencing

~Sylvester~

Everyone was finally around. Other than Jake’s wolf that wasn’t likely coming back, we had all survived Yuri and his cult.

They had attacked and attempted to destroy me and everyone I cared about but we had persevered against all odds.

I was grateful for how things played out. We made new friends and strengthened old bonds in the process.

I was grateful for it.

We wanted to go get our children immediately but we all soon decided that it was best to get on with the sentencing before we reunite with our children. Because of this, we had set the hearing for the following day, and every noble family leader was to be in attendance. I did not want Yuri’s death to be easy and quick. I wanted it to be hard and slow and I had devised the best way to have that happen.

I planned to chip away at his sanity and life as he did to others for many years. I planned to make him beg for death. He was an arrogant fool and I planned to crush his pride until there was nothing left. He deserved no sympathy and he wasn’t going to get any. As for Ighor, I was going to leave him at the mercy of Vino and Andrew. He had deceived them greatly and it was only befitting that they get their pound of flesh back.

I exited the closet in my official attire and looked at Tamia who stood in front of the mirror, admiring her figure in her cream short dress and tweeded suit jacket. She looked beautiful. Gracing her neck was a pearl necklace with pear earrings to match. The golden metal holding the pearls together glittered. She had her hair in a bun. She looked regal and serious- minded, she also looked delicate and charming. She was a beauty. She turned to look at me and smiled.

“How are you feeling your majesty,” She said and I laughed.

“Anxious. Can’t wait to get it over with so we can get Liam and Harper back. I miss them,” I said, confessing my true feelings towards the separation for the first time. Tamia gently covered her lips with moistened eyes fighting back her tears of joy.

“Me too,” Was all she could manage and I went to hold her. I held her in my arms until she was calm.

“After this no more. This is it,” I said and she nodded while breaking away from my embrace. She admired my outfit and helped make some adjustments then stepped away from the mirror and stood behind me so I could see myself.

I pulled her to my side and then looked in the mirror to see us together. We had indeed come a long way.
