The Dark Side of Fate

30 The Hearing

-Tamia~

Sylvester’s mother received me with

kindness, and she was nice to me, but I

realised Sylvester wasn’t happy about

having his brother on the estate.

I could understand his reluctance. I have met

Dominic three times, and none have been

pleasant.

Sylvester searched my eyes for answers, but

I could not give any. Until I officially became

his Luna, I had no say.

Dominic walked into the living room with

his girlfriend, who was afraid of Sylvester.

“Have you told the wolf Lord, mother?”

Dominic asked and came to sit in the living room with his girlfriend.

“I have told him, but there are conditions,” his mother said, and he exclaimed.

“He can’t give me conditions to live on our

family’s property,” Dominic said, and their mother growled.

“He can, and he has. He is lord and Alpha of the North; you will give him his respect, Dominic. I am beginning to sense you are jealous of your younger brother,” His mother said, and Dominic seemed

bewildered by her words.

“Why do you think I am jealous, mother?” He asked, and she looked at him.

“To begin with, you lied about his

relationship with Tamia; you made it seem like he was going about misbehaving, and you made it seem as if she was a liability. Then you lied about him neglecting his responsibilities. When Jenny came to meet me, she had nothing but praise for Sylvester. I will advise you to find something worthwhile and stop trying to bring your brother down, and yes, he has the right to set the rules. He is lord and Alpha. You will abide by his rules, or you won’t move in with us. I am warning you that you should not insult or disrespect Tamia. She is Sylvester’s chosen and future Luna of the North. You

will give her her respect,” His mother said, through gritted teeth, and I could feel the

boss in her rise to the surface.

She was a tough woman, and I could see where Sylvester got his toughness from. Although I hadn’t met their father, I figured

Sylvester was more like his mother.

We spent a while with Luna Stephanie Volkov, Sylvester’s mother. She was a joy to be around. She showed me baby pictures of Sylvester, making me want to have children.

I remembered how hurt I was when Leo told

me Amanda was expecting. I looked at Sylvester and thanked my stars for giving

me a second chance.

Understanding how I felt in those moments, he touched my hand and squeezed. He knew

I wanted children. Leo must have included it

in the letter.

“I can’t wait too,” He linked me, and tears

welled in my eyes, but I brushed them away before luna Stephanie would ask me why I

was crying.

Glenda tried to be friendly, but I was weary of her; learning she was Susan’s cousin did it for me, and I did not trust her intention

towards Sylvester.

I trusted my man, but I did not trust her. Knowing that Dominic would be moving into

the estate meant I would have to deal with

her. I am okay as long as Susan does not miraculously show up looking for her

cousin. Somehow I knew what Susan did still

hurt Sylvester even though he wouldn’t

admit it. She was best far away from us. I

hoped she was married with plenty of

children.

Soon it was time for us to leave, and Luna

Stephanie felt sad about it. She pleaded with

Sylvester to let us stay, but he declined

because we had to answer questions at the council early in the morning the next day.
