The Dark Side of Fate

53 In The Mix Of Things

~Sylvester~

When Theodore interrupted my speech at the northern council conference, I knew something serious had happened.

I politely excused myself. I went to him.

I could hear people murmuring, but soon, Marcel took over, and they were silent.

That was why it was best I wrote my speeches. He just picked up from where I left off.

Theodore stood when I approached him.

“They are back,” He said, and I smiled, glad that Tamia had returned.

I was worried she might see Leo or Devin, and they would convince her to leave with them.

The painful part of that fear was that I

wouldn’t have gone after her if she had

willingly followed. Otherwise, I would have given my mother, Dominic and the entire council the war they had longed for

and burned the south or east to the

ground. 1

“Tamia is ill. Linda asked that I send a

doctor, which I did, but then she insisted I tell you. I think it is serious,” He said, and images of her being poisoned by Jake Brighton just to get at me flooded my

mind.

I was out the door before Theodore could

finish the sentence.

People were looking at me weirdly.

The moment I stepped out, I hopped into the first car I saw. It wasn’t mine, but I was lord, and the driver was already behind the wheel.

“Volkov estate now!” I ordered him, and

he started his vehicle.

I did not know who he worked for; I will

have to apologise later.

We arrived at the estate, and I rushed into the building and went straight to my

room.

Avery and Linda were with her. She

looked pale and sweaty but seemed a bit calm. The doctor was examining her, and I went to hold her hands. Knight was afraid, so I had to try and control myself.

When the doctor congratulated me that she was pregnant, I was shocked.

Knowing that Linda did not feel the same way made me still worried that Jake did. something.

“Linda is pregnant, and she isn’t ill?” I asked the doctor.

“People experience pregnancy

differently, but I will still take her blood sample to test for other things. If there is anything, she is already recovering from it. I will give her a mild sedative to help. her relax and sleep it off, but there is no cause for alarm here. She will be alright when she wakes up; she just needs to rest, ” he said, administered the sedative, and packed his things to leave. 1

I watched Tamia’s eyes close gradually until she fell asleep.

Linda and Avery excused themselves, and I stayed with her.

There was a knock on my door thirty minutes later, and I rushed to open it so the person did not bang too hard and wake Tamia up. I knew it was my mother. She was the only one that dared to do that.

I opened the door, and she frowned at me.

Not wanting her in my room, I stepped

outside.

“What is wrong with her?” She asked,
