The Dark Side Of Fate

~Tamia~

I was ecstatic about Avery's news. She beamed so beautifully at the table. I sighed with relief, knowing Avery had finally gotten her wish. Our children would be born around the same time and grow up together.

How much more could we thank the goddess for blessing us so greatly? From unhappy women whose husbands had cheated, to war trophies, then lunas of the most powerful men in our world. We must have done something extraordinary in our past life for the goddess to smile upon us. There were two great pieces of news. Katya had finally given it up and was getting married, and Avery was expecting. Sylvester and I retired to bed in high spirits.

"I can't believe my brother finally popped the question,” Sylvester said, changing into something comfortable to sleep in.

"And to think the woman that brought that out of him was Katya," he added, and I laughed.

"It sounds weird that some of the women in the Harem are virgins, don't you think?" I said, and he laughed and came to sit on the bed.

"Yes. We usually sort them that way to avoid them being molested or abused. Saying they belong in our harem makes them sort of forbidden, but we allow them to mingle and choose a mate if they so desire. It is my way of protecting them," He said, and I had figured that part out already.

"So why did Theo say you do not touch used goods?" I asked him, remembering what Theodore had told us upon our arrival.

Sylvester giggled and pinched the bridge of his nose; eyes shut tight with his face looking up. He was laughing seriously.

"So, that is where that came from," he said and looked at me, still laughing.

"I wondered why you called yourself used goods that night I came to your room. It baffled me. Here I was, thinking I had found someone worthy to be my companion, and you were busy calling yourself used goods.

Theo can be an arsehole like that. He must have said it so no one would get ideas into their heads. Lunas are usually bold and very experienced. We have had a couple that had tried to seduce their way out of service. They are usually the most cunning of the trophies, and I did not expect less from them," he said, and I laughed.

"You, my dear, did not seem interested at all. None of you seemed interested. Avery looked like she just wanted to have fun, Linda wanted to be left alone, and you were still trying to let go of Leo. An unusual mix, I must say. But it all worked out well.” He said and placed his hand on my lower belly; I had a little bump now. It wasn't obvious, but I could feel it with my palm, and he could feel it too. "I wanted to claim you when we got back today," he said, still touching my lower belly and staring into my eyes. He wasn't smiling anymore; he was serious and looked deeply with need in them "Then why did you hold back?" Kaira asked, and I blurted it out.

He caressed my cheek with his thumb resting my face in his palm and staring deep into my eyes. "Because I want it to be special, green-eyes. I want the moon to bless us twice; I want to do it in the eyes of everyone. I want to claim you for all to see and know there is only one woman in my heart, and she will always be you, Tamia. I do not want to do it in the confines of our bedroom. I want everyone to see it," he said, and it touched my heart.

Blue moon claiming was usually a ceremonial public affair; of course, we will have to do it again in the heat of passion in our bedroom, but the claiming is done under the moonlight in the eyes of all the people invited to create and solidify the bond.

We did not need that because we were fated already, but Sylvester wanted the aesthetics that came with it. I knew it was the romantic aspect that he liked. The vows and promises, the shifting and marking. It was great, and it was something to look forward to.

He moved close to me and kissed me, stirring up a hunger in me.

I returned the kiss hungrily, and I heard a low growl.

It was Knight, and I knew we would do more than kissing. The mate bond was driving both of us crazy.

Taking off my clothes, Sylvester laid me down on the bed and went to work.

He straddled me and bent to suck on my nipples gently, blowing and sucking on them.

"If you move, I will cuff you to the bed, green eyes,” he warned me, and I did not know if I should moan or nod.

He grazed his teeth on my skin, moving from my breast to my neck and sucked on where his mark will rest. His mark on my thigh tingled, and I writhed a little.

"That is it," he said, getting up.

I was very wet. He stripped down his clothes entirely and reached for the cuffs he used on me in Vino's mansion, with blindfolds and a feather.

"All that," I said, feeling impatient, and he did not speak.

Sylvester cuffed my hands to each side of the bedpost, tied my legs apart, and covered my eyes with the blindfold. I was nervous and eager at the same time.

"You did a beautiful job today at the hearing and asked the right questions when the alphas came. You deserve a reward, green eyes," he teased me, whispering in my right ear, and I felt my nipples harden.

I felt the feather touch my lips and gently move down.

I felt it between my breasts, and it moved and circled my right nipple. I felt Sylvester's wet mouth on that nipple, sucking it and teasing it with his tongue.

His licks were expert, and I was craving more. Then he left it and circled the feather on the second nipple and did the same to it with his expert mouth, it felt warm and delicious, and I moaned, tugging on my cuffs to touch him, but I couldn't. It made them feel helpless and at his mercy. I knew that was the point, and I loved it.

"You are soaking wet, green eyes," he teased, and I felt his tongue in my belly button.

"Sylvester, please,” I pleaded with him

I did not know what I was begging for, but Kaira wanted more. Not seeing what he was doing was driving me wild.

I felt his thumbs on both my nipples, and it felt good, his thumbs also felt a bit wet, and it gave the tongue effect.

Before I could absorb all the pleasure I was getting, I felt his tongue searching for my clit, and I writhed to guide him to it, but he kept missing it deliberately.

He would tease the tip with his tongue, suck a little and move elsewhere. He did it so many times that I became frustrated.

"Goddess, Sylvester do something,” I moaned impatiently and heard him chuckle.

"It is mine, so I will take my time," he teased.

I tried to close my legs, but they were tied apart for that reason.

Kaira became wild, wanting the release, and soon he sucked on the nub and did not let it go this time.

He was still caressing my nipples with his thumb. I was in a pleasure haven and doubted I could take much because my body was sensitive.

The build-up came up quickly while I ground myself against his lips.

I heard him growling, his love bite tingling and driving me crazy. The orgasm exploded.

"Ahhhhh,” I moaned, shaking.

He left my clit and bit into his mark on my inner thigh, giving me a second wave.

I could feel the tears in my eyes, even though I had blindfolds.

Sylvester had taken me to an incredible height, and I could not help but let the orgasms move through me.

I felt the tip of his cock on my entrance, and my body went crazy.

He drove himself into me and began to pump. I wanted to touch him but I was still cuffed to the bed.

"Sylvester, let me touch you.” I moaned while he pumped.

"No," he growled, pumping, and I felt the pressure building up.

It was more intense.

I knew why he kept me tied up and blindfolded. The fewer sensory organs I access, the more heightened the feeling would be.

It was amazing.

The fact that I could not see or feel him with my palms heightened the sensation of his cock grinding into pussy, and it felt so fucking good.

"Yes," I moaned, not knowing what I agreed to, but I liked it.

I came again, and he pumped through it. I felt my toes curl and my claws grow out, wanting to dig into something.

Sylvester took off the blindfold, and it took a bit for my eyes to adjust; he was enjoying it just as much as I was. I guess we will be going to the arena late again.

Morning came, and Sylvester wasn't lying beside me. I wonder where he went. It was just eight in the morning, and we still had time, but he wasn't in bed

I tried to link him, but I met an empty void, meaning he wasn't home. Whatever must have taken him out of the house that early must have been serious.

I wanted to call him, but I did not feel the need to do so, so I got out of bed and decided to get ready.

It was going to be an eventful day because Alpha Jake would be joining me in the booth to go through the photos of the enforcers, so he could show me who led the attack against Brighton.

It might not yield anything because I know the order came from the council, but hopefully, I would get something out of it.

I also needed to hold Luna Amy Zakharov, Liam's mother.

Once they're returned today, I will have Levi arrest her for questioning. It wasn't within my jurisdiction. If she refuses, I will use Stephanie's office to do the job. We only had a few weeks to go, and the whole technicality will be over.

I got ready and took out my phone to call kappa William who had returned from the west.

"Lady Volkov," he greeted me on the first ring, and I answered.

"I need you to bring a tablet with all the pictures of the enforcers to the arena in Lucland. Also, order Kappa Levi to arrest Luna Zakharov when they return today. She has questions to answer." I told him, and he was silent.

"Have you informed Lord Volkov of this?" He asked me, and I could hear the fear in his voice.

"No, I haven't," I said, and he sighed.

"Luna Zakharov is Alpha Christain's wife; she is too high for me to pick up without order from the Lord, Lady or council,” he said.

I understood what he meant even though he sounded a bit afraid.

The truth was Sylvester and I were yet to tie the knot. I was still a girlfriend and yet to be wedded to him. It wasn't my office, and he was right. The order should come from Sylvester or Stephanie. "Very well, I will tell him to instruct you to do it," I said, slightly irritated.

"I will do it, but please be clear with him on it," he said quickly, but I hung up instead of saying anything. I placed a call to Sylvester, and he answered.

"Darling," he said, and I sighed.

"I woke up alone," I complained, and he giggled.

"I am sorry, love; my itinerary starts today at eight in the morning. I am having a meeting as we speak,” he said, and I sighed.

"Okay," I said.

"Thank you for understanding," he said, and I giggled.

"Do you mind telling Kappa William to do as I say? I asked him to bring me a tablet with the photos of enforcers so that Alpha Jake and I could go through it. He could show me the enforcer that led the attack on his pack; I also asked him to tell Kappa Levi to arrest Amy Zakharov when they return her. He said she is too important, and I should clear it with you or your mother,” I said, and I heard a low growl.

"I am not offended. He is right, Sylvester. I do not have an office yet, so it is okay. If the council behaved as he did, we wouldn't have problems,” I said, and he calmed down.

"Very well, I will do it once I am done with my current meeting," he said, and I thanked him and hung up. I headed out of the room.
