The Dark Side of Fate

Chapter 39

39 After party.

~Tamia~

The dinner party was more fun than I thought it would be.

Other than the time that Sylvester went to speak with Vino, he remained by my side all through.

People congratulated the six of us on our upcoming wedding, and I realised it was a big deal. It made me feel nervous.

When I married Leo, it was a tranquil event. Most people did not know. The Mountain pack was small then, and because of that, the activities in the pack were insignificant. We just had a small ceremony where we said our vows in the presence of a few pack members and went home. The celebration was small. We

eventually rose to the top together and soon became a big deal in the east.

I knew my marriage with Sylvester would be different. It felt like it would be grand, making me a bit nervous.

I watched Theodore dote on Linda. He

paid so much attention that I secretly wished Kyle could see her.

Dominic came to the party with Glenda, but they both seemed to be flirting with other people.

After the party, we retired to the room made available by Vino.

I did not want to stay the night. I wanted to return to the estate and sleep in our bed, but sleeping over was part of the party because we were supposed to have breakfast with the rest of the very

important guests in the morning.

The Lawrence family were very wealthy, and I realised they were the fourth most

powerful family in our world.

Vino’s family was after Theodore’s family in rank. I could understand why the council gave Vino a tough time because they expected so much from him.

When we entered the room allocated to

us, I stepped out of my clothes and wore the nightgown I had brought. The staff had packed a casual outfit for breakfast and nightwear for us to wear in the Lawrence estate. The driver must have

helped place our stuff in the room allocated to us.

“What is the matter?” I finally asked Sylvester, knowing something was

troubling him, even though he did everything to hide it during the dinner.

He asked me to sit on his lap on the couch

in the room, and I obliged.

He reached into my robe and touched my body with his hands. Feeling me, and I moaned gently.

“You should answer my question,” I said,

trying to get him to tell me what was troubling him.

He kissed my neck and sighed.
