56 An Invite and An Opportunity

~Devin~

I decided to attend Jake’s festival to

unwind. It was a last-minute decision. I

planned to spend four days in Brighton

and then return to Greenwood. It was a

great plan. It was supposed to ease my stress and help me think straight.

When I arrived in Brighton in the evening of the festival and Jake told me that Tamia was around, I was giddy. Rex was overjoyed, and I could not believe how easy it would be to take my mate away from Sylvester. Hearing that Sylvester sent her to have a peace talk with Jake unaccompanied made me think of two different extremes.

Either they loved and trusted each other so much that he would allow her to

handle state matters without fear, or her life meant nothing. He was willing to gamble it away by using her to apologise

to Jake, hoping Jake won’t attack and kill

her.

Hearing Jake talk about her made me

realise she was alright.

maltreated her in the north.

I planned it all.

The rose, the garden. I wanted it to be

perfect. I wanted it to be romantic. It is all I have ever wanted. Finding my mate and starting a real life in love and happiness.

Tamia was perfect. I did not care that she was once married or was taken by the wolf lord. I did not care. I just wanted my

mate.

Rex hoped to hold her, accept her and claim her. I wasn’t going to waste any time.

I was going to run fast and sink my teeth into her.

I did not need to wait for the blue moon; that was only done by chosen mates for the claiming to work.

hoped she would follow, and she did.

When she saw me and tears started

streaming down her cheeks, I knew it wouldn’t be easy.

Everything she said to me in tears broke my heart. Not because she refused to run into my arms, but because what she was saying was true.

I took my moment with her for granted. I wronged her deeply.

I knew she was hurting with Leo, and I should have challenged him for her hand, but I was diplomatic about it. I made the biggest mistake of my life.
