The Dark Side Of Fate

~Sylvester~

Everything suddenly made sense, and I could feel Tamia's pain.

Realising someone ruined her home because of his personal gains was very painful.

I held her in bed until she finally fell asleep. Then I slept.

I woke up in the morning and found Tamia pacing in the bedroom.

I looked at the clock, and it was six in the morning. I wondered what must have made her wake up early.

I looked at her sheer nightgown and saw the tiny bump. I smiled; realising that we would welcome our child into the world was heartwarming.

I looked at her, and my heart was glad.

She had brought joy into my life.

The need to end the trouble around us was critical.

I got off the bed and went to hold her.

She was startled a bit, which meant she was deep in thought, but she rested into my arms quickly, and I stroked her hair. She was gorgeous with her messy her, and I loved her.

I placed my hand on her bump and kissed her forehead, taking in her scent, and Knight howled in reverence in my head. We were complete. Our wedding would take place in three weeks, and it seemed too far.

"Tamia," I breathed, and she moaned, resting her head against my chest.

"Why are you up so early?" I asked, feeling the anxiety she was trying to suppress, and she gently broke away from me.

"Are you thinking of what happened to you and Leo?" I asked, and she shook her head, frowning at me.

"I was over it before I slept. If anything, I am grateful because it led me to my true mate,” she said, and I knew she wasn't lying. I could see it in her eyes. She cared for Leo as her friend, but I was the only man in her heart. I would never oppose her friendship with Leonardo. It is a part of her; he is a part of her.

"Tell me, please,” I said, shut off the water and turned to look at her.

"They threatened your mother with it," she confessed, and I felt my heartbeat pounding in my ears. I staggered backwards and rested my back against the tiles on the wall

Jenny knew my mother had a hand in my father's death. Jenny knew my father wanted David as lord. Jenny knew a lot of dirty secrets, and the woman kept a record. She also blackmailed my mother a couple of times, and my mother confessed to exchanging emails with her. This person with Jenny's computer must have access to a lot of information.

"The message was vague, so I doubt the person has proof of anything. Look at it this way. If they had proof of anything at all, your mother would have been arrested by now. They might be trying to scare her and make her slip up,” she said, and I shook my head.

After speaking to Liam, I knew the organisation were smart and sadistic people. They might just want to drive her crazy and destabilise everything around us before they strike.

"They might just be playing with her and holding on to the ace,” I said to Tamia, and she was silent. Her eyes showed that she was thinking the same thing.

"Damn it!" I growled, and Knight began to growl. It had been a long time since I had shifted. Maybe I needed to let my wolf go wild. With the way I was feeling, I needed an outlet.

"I need to go on a run with Knight," I told my mate, and her eyes looked slightly sad. She nodded quietly, stepping away from me in the shower.

"I will be back. I just need to release my fear," I said, gently patting her cheek, and she nodded. She was scared too.

"I will be back in an hour," I said and stepped out of the shower. I wore shorts and went out of the room.

I walked briskly until I got to the exit, then headed for the western garden leading to the property's forest. Getting into the woods, I shifted, letting Knight take over, and we ran.

I moved about the woods growling with rage. I needed an outlet.

There were many clues, but none led us to the top. All we had were still pawns. I knew we would have to start arresting people soon, but I just hoped the noise would quiet until after my wedding. We needed to have some peace and celebrate our wedding peacefully before we resumed this nonsense. I was sure the culprit would die a prolonged and painful death when caught.

I roamed about the forest and when the morning was very bright, I returned to where I had left my shorts, shifted back to my human form, wore the shorts and returned to the estate.

I rushed to my room to shower and dress up. Entering the room, I saw Tamia standing by the window, staring outside with her hand on her tiny bump. She was worried, too; I could feel it. I went to her and held her from behind. I knew I was dirty, but I could not help but try to console my mate. "You are back," she said, turning toward me, and I noticed her eyes were swollen. Too many things were happening, and there wasn't any time to take a breather.

"I can walk away from all this if you ask me to, Tamia. I will gladly walk away and never look back. We can lead a quiet life. I heard my half-brother has a family and is living a quiet life. We can do the same,” I said to her, ready to walk away because I was tired. We had no time.

Our wedding was around the corner, and we could not even plan it.

As things were looking, it did not seem like we would have a honeymoon. Tamia shook her head, and I could see the rage in her eyes.

"I know you have called Leo and Devin here, but I want you to listen to me, Sylvester," she said, and I saw her eyes.

I knew she had thought about what she was about to say, and I knew it was severe.

"The alpha of the Dark wolf Pack, lord of all werewolves, one whom everyone refers to as the Dark Alpha, will never walk away," she said, and I frowned at her.

"Sometimes people need a nightmare to wake up,” she told me, and I frowned at her.

"You can talk to Devin and Leo. You can reason with them. It is okay. But I want you to do this for our child and me.” She said, looking deep into my eyes, and her wolf flashed.

"I want everyone that Liam and Lilly mentioned arrested and locked up. I want their rights taken from them; I want you to bully the council and put them in their place. I want you to dismiss anyone that opposes you. I want you to be a tyrant; I want you to be the demon they fear, the dark Alpha,” she said, and I was stunned.

"I will stand beside you and support your every move. I will do whatever it takes to quiet the noise," she said, and I felt her determination.

I looked into her eyes for a bit and gently nodded. She was right. We need to act and stop waiting. So much damage had been done throughout the waiting period.

This move would scare the culprit and destabilise them. But if we have to do this, the arrest must happen simultaneously in every region.

"I will do it. If that is what you want, I will do it. I will be that monster, and I will be unapologetic about it." I said to her, and she rested her forehead against mine and placed my hand on her bump. "For us," she corrected, and I chuckled.
