~Tamia~ Finding what to wear for the Coronation was a bit challenging, especially with our bumps. Avery was the only one in the clear because she wasn't showing up yet, so she got the best dresses to try on. Linda was worse off than me and had to shop from very loose selections to accommodate her pregnancy but look sexy at the same time. I was in between. Nicole and Katya were free to choose from anywhere. We tried on many clothes. After all, we all wanted to wear the same colour none of us would be with our men on that day because we weren't married yet; we would be going there strictly for moral support. After the wedding, we would be one and the same without a mate. Only the Lords would be at the top with Sylvester. Thinking of it, I did not want to go again. Sitting away from him and watching him from a distance did not feel good at all. But I knew it would be insensitive of me not to be present. We bought beautiful lilac dresses good enough for a function but nothing over the
~Tamia~ Sylvester looked breathtaking, sitting at the foot of the bed. I exhaled, and he looked at me and smiled. I could not let what Stephanie said spoil the night, so I returned the smile. I looked at his body and admired what I saw. "Your Majesty," I said with a breathy voice, and he grinned. "Hold your pose; I want to have a perfect picture in my mind," I said and straddled him. He looked at me and supported my back, gazing into my eyes. "I want to remember how you look tonight, void of worry, void of fear, just living in the moment," I said, his eyes searching mine. "Let us deny all that is happening and that time is passing by. I want to hold this moment, freeze it and keep it forever. Let us free our minds of our troubles, Amanda, the king, our duties, our world. Just us. You, me and our wolves. Do you think you can do that for me, my love?" I asked, and he looked at me with misty loving eyes and crashed his lips on mine. Drinking him in, drowning in his love, I gave my a
~Tamia~ The moment we stepped outside, I exhaled. "What would you like to speak to me about, Tamia?" he asked gently, and I looked at him. "First of all, I want to congratulate you. I heard of you and Susan, and I am happy for both of you," I said; he nodded and looked away. "I heard a rumour that I want to confirm with you, Devin, and I need you to be honest with me. To start with, I know you did not face Sylvester during the legendary war. I know it was Dominic, but I have kept your secret. I am telling you this so you know you can trust me," I said, and he chuckled. "I knew you figured it out. There was no way you would be close to Volkov and not know that fact," he said, and I smiled. "What do you want to ask me?" He asked, and I sighed. "It is about your encounter with Lord Maurice Volkov," I said, and his expression became serious. "Nothing serious, Devin. Nothing bad; I just want to clarify, please," I said, and he nodded reluctantly. "I do not want trouble. The Volkov
~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 ne
~Tamia~ I hesitated before knocking on Leo's door. I did not want to argue, but I knew I had to be the one to tell him that we were finally going to see the man that sent Amanda to ruin our home. I knocked. "It's open," I heard his voice say, and I entered the room. He was packing his bags. Leo looked at me and was surprised to see me. "Tamia," he said, confused. "What are you doing here?" He asked me. "Amanda is going to Grizlo to meet her lover. She should be there by now. We are all going to catch them. Sylvester wanted me to inform you so you can join us," I said, and he sighed. "He told you to tell me?" He asked me, wondering why Sylvester did not tell him himself. Looking at Leo now, I knew why. Amanda was our mess, and he wanted us to work together. "I can't wait to give that bitch the treatment she deserves," He growled, and Black surfaced. "I hope you all know I will kill her when I see her," He said, and I shook my head. "The babies?" I said, and he growled. "His
~Sylvester~ Sneaking to Grizlo was challenging. We believed we would stand out, but the airline company that we used made sure we did not come in contact with anyone. The owner was honoured that I would be using one of his jets. Seeing Tamia sleep on the couch in the apartment made me doubt that bringing her was right, but I wanted her to be involved. I knew if I asked her to remain at home, she wouldn't like it, and she was the only person that could stop Leo from doing something crazy. I would have decided not to come with Leo, but I needed support just in case we encountered more than Amanda and her lover. No matter how messed up his emotions were, both he and Devin had proven their loyalty. The four-wheel drive arrived in the dead of the night, and I was disappointed to see that it was Vino Lawrence. I sort of liked the guy, even though he seemed creepy. I wondered why he got himself involved in this shit. At twenty-five years old, he was too young for this. It was sad. I co
~Sylvester~ The conversation between the two bothered me. Vino was scared, and this woman still told him to hang in there. Did she know the repercussions of her behaviour at all? "Are you crazy?" Vino said to her. "Do you know what has happened?" He added, and she was silent. "Sylvester is now the King. The actual King. The council has no power anymore. We are just advisers now. If Sylvester catches us, we have no saving grace. He can do as he pleases with us, Amy. No one would question him. No one will fight him. We are finished. Thanks to you, every ally of ours is behind bars or in hiding. I need to know who this man is and understand why he is doing this," Vino said, and she shook her head. "Trust me," Amanda said, and Vino exclaimed. "Trust you? Only a blind idiot would trust you. You destroy everything you touch. You ruin the people you claim to love for personal reasons. Only a fool will trust you." He said, and she stepped back. I guess his words hurt her feelings. "Wha
~Tamia~ I could not believe that Amanda was manipulating Vino too. Sitting on the plane with her made me sick, and it wasn't just me. Leo and Avery too. She was indeed a snake. I could not believe the weak, innocent-looking bitch could pull off so many stunts. I was going to enjoy getting information out of her. Sylvester pulled me close to comfort me, but I was angrier than upset. I masked my emotions so he would not feel his touch wasn't enough. Based on everyone's countenance, it would have been nice if we did not have to fly in the same plane with Amanda, the snake. "I lost a lot of good soldiers," Devin started, and I understood his anger. We lost a lot while they schemed to cause a war. "We almost went to war, and to think this bitch and her father were behind it all. Vino, too," he said and balled his fist in anger. "There was so much I lost trying to secure my region and push back. All the while, I thought the Volkovs were the problem, and I put my life on hold for it,"
