Shadows of Destiny

The Dark Side Of Fate By Karima Sa’ad Usman Chapter 139 –

~Tamia~

My legs could not carry me fast enough. I walked through the house quickly. Wanting to get to

Sylvester and give him the news.

I appreciated Devin for telling me the truth. It took a lot for him to put his reputation on the line like that.

That reputation had kept the south safe; if this comes out that Lucas was the one that killed Maurice

and Gavin, then it will be over. While I moved towards the room, I knew the Lucas narrative was a part

we must keep secret.

Establishing that Devin did not attack because of the letter was enough to get Stephanie off the hook.

As for Jenny’s death, the evidence Mathew Majesty might have against her will not stick because no

one knew what happened other than Sylvester, the two Kappas that worked for Stephanie and me.

The Kappas would never tell a soul because they would condemn themselves and their families in the

process, so I doubted that would be an issue.

The letter was my biggest fear, and knowing it won’t be admissible was great news. I walked quickly

and went straight to the room. Sylvester wasn’t there, so I decided to link him.

“Where are you?” I asked him.

“In my office,” he replied, and I left our room to join him. I entered the office, and he was sitting behind

his desk. He did not seem in high spirits, and I wondered why.

“What is the matter?” I asked him, and he looked at me. Then smiled; my heart was beating fast, and

his smile put it at rest.

“Don’t do that again. I was scared that something was wrong,” I said, and he laughed, got off his chair,

and came to where I stood.

He pulled me close to his chest, still laughing and danced with me in his arms a little, then pulled me

close.

“What happened?” I asked him, and he smiled.

“Amanda is off to Grizlo to see her lover,” he said, and I rolled my eyes.

“So Levi told you,” I said, and he shook his head.

“Hendrix told Wilson, and Wilson told me,” He confessed. I laughed and smacked his chest gently. I

could understand his joy. We had caught a big break.

He went to sit on the couch in his office and pulled me onto his lap.

“Lay across,” he said in a low deep voice, and I knew what it meant.

Kaira squealed.

This wasn’t the time for this, but Sylvester wanted what he wanted, and he was going to get precisely

that.

He laid me across his lap with my butt in the air. He rolled my skirt up until my thongs were exposed

and smacked my entrance.

“Ouch,” I said because it brought both pleasure and pain. He used his thumb to caress my entrance

and then smacked it. I flinched and moaned at the same time. It was pleasurable.

“It hurts, yet you are soaking wet, Tamia. What do I believe, your lips or your body language?” He

asked, and I did not know what to say.

“You have been naughty, Tamia,” He said, caressing the entrance and making me moan.

“You have been a naughty girl,” he said, but I could not say anything. I was enjoying what he was doing

while anticipating the next move.

I wanted him to stick it in, but I knew it would take a while longer.

“You have been a naughty girl, and naughty girls get punished,” he said, placing his finger at my

entrance. Making me moan and grind my pussy against it. He pulled out and smacked my butt cheek.

“I saw you sneaking off with Devin, Tamia,” he said with a low voice, and I continued to grind against

him. I did not care; I knew I had done nothing wrong.

“Hiding in the corridor waiting for him to pass, I saw it all,” he said, sticking his thumb in, and I felt

Knight coming to the surface. Putting it that way, it did seem suspicious.

“Will you let Devin do this to you?” he asked, caressing my walls, and I moaned.

“No,” I replied, wanting more.

“So what did you do outside?” he asked, and I could not think straight anymore.

“Sylvester,” I moaned.

“I know what you want, Tamia, but you won’t be getting any until you tell me what you went to discuss

with him outside,” He said, using his thumb to rub my clit. I was coming, and he knew it, so he crashed

and smacked it.

“Sylvester,” I said impatiently.

“Tell me, Tamia,” he said, massaging my walls.

“I was coming to tell you and…” I said, and he began to rub my clit again,

“Kneel on the couch and hold the backrest,” He ordered, and we both got up.

I was dizzy with lust; I could see his dark wolf eyes and elongated canines. He was battling himself

seriously.

I assumed the position he wanted, and he rolled my thong down and took it off. My arse was bare, and

I did not care that the office door was not locked.

He went on his knees to eat me. I could not see him because he did it from behind, but my claws grew

out, and I dug my nail into the backrest. Feeling the pleasure rise.

It didn’t take long before I came, and he started to work. He pumped hard and fast inside me, and we

were at it until he came.

Resting on the chair, I realised sneaking outside with Devin bothered him. However, he did not say it

out of trust and respect, it bothered him, and I made a mental note never to do it again.

Leaning against him, spent on the couch, I decided to tell him what I had learned. I told him everything

Devin had told me, and he got up from the shock.

“Lucas Sidorov is alive,” he said, and I nodded. Sylvester ran his hand through his hair and began to

pace in his office.

“Why didn’t he tell us this soon? We would have looked for the man,” Sylvester said, and I shook my

head.

“You have to understand, darling; he had a reputation to protect. In our world, reputation is a huge

thing. His reputation has kept his region safe; it was worth his silence. He had also promised Sidorov

that he would not tell,” I told him, and Silvester remained silent a bit.

“Very well. So what do you propose?” he asked me, and I sighed.

“Ehmm, I think we should take Devin’s account into consideration. No one has to know that Lucas is at

large. We can hunt him by ourselves, but Devin can just dismiss receiving any letter. Once he does

that, then there will be no case. As for Jenny’s death, no one can prove Stephanie did it, so she is free.

If they try to blame it on Devin, we will blame it on the uprising group,” I said, and he nodded.

“It is a good idea, but do you think Devin would lie about not receiving a letter?” Sylvester asked, and I

smiled at him.

“He would do anything to save his reputation. Claiming he had intel he used to attack your father and

his officers make it seem like he had help. He likes to take credit, and I am sure he would,” I said, and

Sylvester nodded and stood up.

“Very well, I am going to Grizlo later today; you want to come?” he asked, and I beamed at him.

I never imagined he would ask me to follow him. He always expected me to sit things out, so I

wondered what had changed.

“Why do you want me to come with you, your majesty?” I asked him, and he smiled at me.

“You won’t just be a fancy queen, Tamia. You are a fighter and a strategist. I do not plan to kill your

fire,” He said and helped me up, then placed his hands on my tiny bump.

“This is not a weakness,” he said, and I beamed at him.

“I am sure you are just as deadly as you were without it,” he said, and I kissed him.

“You can see Devin and tell him what we expect him to say if there is ever a hearing concerning the

issue with my mother’s letter to him. Also, tell Leo about Amanda’s location. I know he said he was

leaving, but I am sure he will want to be there,” He said, and I frowned at him.

A few minutes ago, he punished me for talking to Devin privately. What was with him?

“Are you sure you want me to speak to them? You weren’t happy I spoke with Devin. No matter how

you tried to mask it, I could feel it,” I said, and he shook his head.

“That wasn’t what got to me, Tamia. I was mad that you chose to sneak to do it. I wouldn’t have

stopped you from talking to Devin, Leo or anyone, regardless of your history with them, but the fact that

you did not want me to know got to me,” he confessed, and I shook my head.

“That wasn’t the reason, darling,” I said, looking at him apologetically.

“I did it because of your mood in the room when we discussed it this morning. You shut it down

completely. You ended the conversation. I did not want to argue with you. I wanted to get a solution

before bringing it up again. I am sorry, and I promise not to do it again,” I said, and he pulled me close

and kissed me.

“No matter how mad I get, Tamia, you can always tell me what you want; I will never shut you down,”

he assured me, and I nodded.

The truth was I didn’t push it with him; I should have, instead of acting suspiciously. The painful part

was if Sylvester saw me, then Marcel and Theodore saw me too. I was a bit ashamed.

“Marcel and Theodore?” I asked him, and he laughed.

“Marcel was the first to spot you. It was cute, really; Theodore figured you wanted to get Devin to do

something for you,” He said, and we both laughed.

“That obvious?” I asked, and he nodded.

“I guess I need to work on my people skills,” I said, and he nodded.

“Come on, we have an operation to plan. I can’t wait to see who Amanda’s lover is. A jet is prepared to

take us to Grizlo,” he said, and we left the room.

I linked Avery and Linda immediately to inform them. Avery said Marcel had told her, and she was

getting ready; Linda had decided to stay behind because she was too heavy to shift.

I was glad it happened now because I would be too heavy to shift a month from now.

I left Sylvester in the room and went to find Devin to tell him what was happening and how he would

present the matter of the letter at the King’s hall if the time ever came.

I knew he would jump at the idea because it meant he could keep his secret.

I had the discussion with Devin and then told him about Amanda going to Grizlo, and he was willing to

join us.

We were not planning to disrupt their meeting. We just wanted to see who it was and then arrest them.

Since they had no army, I doubted there would be any fight.

I left Devin and went to search for Leo. It was going to be more challenging to speak to him because of

the emotional tension between us.

I had moved on, but it was clear Leo hadn’t, and maybe he never will. I prayed he found someone to

ease his breaking heart.

While I walked towards his room, I cursed Amanda. She wrecked a man to please another. She

destroyed a home to build another man’s dream. I could not promise I wouldn’t destroy her when I saw

her, but I prayed for wisdom to handle what was coming.
