Shadows of Destiny

49 To Brighton

-Tamia-

“Your skin is so sensitive, Tamia; it feels like I am learning your body all over again,” Sylvester linked

me, eating me up.

I grabbed onto his hair tightly and

writhed.

I felt my orgasm coming, and I couldn’t control it. Everything was going straight

to my head, and my skin was burning.

“Sylvester…” I moaned, and my body

climaxed.

“I want to see your green eyes, Tamia,” he said and placed himself into me.

He knew I was sensitive, so he was gentle.

“So warm, so soft, so wet,” He moaned and started pumping, hitting the right

spots. My body felt so different, and I

loved it.

I watched his teeth elongate, and his eyes turn black. Knight was in charge, and he

increased his speed.

“Mine,” He growled his famous words. Owning me with every pump, my body responded strongly.

Taking it all and wanting more.

It got into my head, and I could no longer keep eye contact, feeling my orgasm

coming.

I grabbed him, digging my nails into his skin, wanting everything he was ready to give and all of him.

“I am coming,” I moaned, unable to control my need anymore and shattered

all over.

Knight pumped through my orgasm,

Liss me fool like I had an out-of-body

experience. If too much pleasure could

kill, this would have been my death because he kept pumping, and I kept coming.

Every sense was heightened. Everything amplified. It had never felt this good, and

I knew I would be wet every time I

thought of this and would find myself running back to him.

He growled and poured into me. My pussy milked him for everything I could get. I felt his hands shake.

He could no longer support his weight with it, and he gently lay on top of me to catch his breath.

I wrapped my arms around him and rubbed his back gently. Satisfied and glowing. Sylvester

understood my body.

Soon he rolled off me to lie on the bed. Then I turned to the side to look at him. He smiled at me and

then touched the tip

of my nose gently.

“You know I do not want you in Brighton, but you are too stubborn.” He said, and we both laughed. 1

“You do not have to solve the mystery, green-eyes. Just come home in three days, “he said, and I

smiled and nodded.

“It will feel like an eternity for me here. Not seeing you or being with you for three days would be

torture. Please do not let it linger,” He pleaded, and I kissed him to assure him he had nothing to worry

about.

He held me all through the night, and

soon morning came.

Sylvester made love to me in the shower We got dressed, and we were famished So hungry that I felt

like biting

something. He laughed at my hunger,

and we went to the breakfast room.

We walked past Stephanie’s room, and

felt a chill down my spine.

The woman’s absence and silence troubled me, but Sylvester did not think

much of it, so I did not want to bring it up or take any measures, so he won’t think I was against his

mother. I could only be lucky where she was concerned so many

times. She was his mother, after all, and I

know he loved her, regardless of her

behaviour. 1

Everyone was in the lounge, and I noticed only Avery was dressed. Linda wasn’t

dressed, and she did not seem happy.

I sat down and started dishing my food.

At the same time, I greeted them

individually with the utmost respect a hungry, freshly fucked woman could

manage.

“You are really hungry,” Avery said and

giggled.

“Alpha must have drained you,” she

teased, and we both laughed, but Linda did not join in. She was upset.

“What is with her?” I linked Avery, and she stopped laughing.

“Theodore said no. He said he would not allow her to travel to Brighton in her condition.” she linked me

back, and I felt sorry for her, but I could understand his reasons. She was at a delicate stage. She

needed to be careful.

Linda was so angry that her mood affected everyone except my tummy. I ate the tarts, croissants,

sandwiches. I sampled everything to eat on the table and Sylvester was surprised.

“I believe they have good food in Brighton, Green eyes,” He said, and everyone laughed, including

myself.

I felt terrible for Linda, but Theodore ha a point: she was carrying his child, an we did not know what

kind of stress w

would experience in Brighton.

“You will use the jet,” Sylvester said, and I knew if I declined, he would insist. My intention was to arrive

there covertly, but it seemed that would not be possible.

“There will be a chauffeur in Gad that will

drive you to Brighton. The shadow warriors will be with you, but you won’t see them. They are good at

hiding and trailing people, which is why they are

called shadow warriors. I have instructed

them to only interfere when your lives are in danger,” he said, and I nodded.

As much as I wanted to tell him it wasn’t

necessary, I knew those were his

conditions.

We got ready to leave, and Sylvester and Marcel decided to drive us to the hangar

It was a covert mission, so no one was there except the pilot. Avery and I got intc the jet.

We landed in Gad an hour later, and I realised the distance would have been torture if we had to drive

through. The nausea was terrible, but I kept it together.

True to Sylvester’s words, a driver was waiting for us at the airport in Gad, and we proceeded to

Brighton.

As we drove through, I realised Gad was a big city. I also saw a lot of electronic billboards paying

homage to Sylvester. I honestly thought the west hated the

Volkovs.

“These people seem to love Lord Volkov,” I said aloud, not wanting to call Sylveste by his name.

“Yes, Luna. Lord Sylvester was the on that brought development to Gad. It wasn’t different from

Brighton. Wher others pushed back, the people of Gad welcomed him, and this was the resul There are

other parts of the west like thi

After the development of Gad, people accepted him, and he has been working hard ever since. The

west is grateful to be under his lordship.” Denis, the

Chauffeur, said, and I hoped my work would be easy.

The drive was long, and I threw up twice during the journey.

When we got to Brighton, I could see the difference. It was indeed underdeveloped.

We were taken to a small hotel. It had only twenty rooms, and Avery and I decided to share.

I knew we would have to visit the Alpha, but I wanted to rest before I proceeded. I had seen the

destruction the attack caused, and it broke my heart.

“How are you feeling?” Avery asked, handing me a glass of water. I sat on the bed in our room. The air

conditioning was on, but I was sweating. I knew I needed to

tell someone the truth.

I collected the bottle of water from her

and drank the content.

She sat next to me and rubbed my back gently.

“After I threw up that day, I haven’t been feeling good,” I confessed.

“Does Sylvester know?” She asked, rubbing my back, and I shook my head.

“If I told him, he wouldn’t let me come, and you know how important it is for us to do this ourselves,” I

said, and she

nodded.

“Marcel knows if they come here, the people would attack. He felt we should have left the council to

handle it,” She said, and I rolled my eyes.

“Not when the perpetrators are nameless and faceless. We are the only people who

can protect their reputation and ensure peace,” I told her and further explained

what we had learned from the enforcer

She was in shock

“Poor Dominic. I know he is a douchebag, but he did not deserve that humiliation. I can understand

Stephanie’s grudge Where is she, by the way?” Avery asked. and my stomach chumed.

“I believe she is part of the reason I am ill, Ave,” I said, and my friend frowned.

That woman has it in for me. I know Sylvester loves me and will always side with me, but I do not want

to deal with

unnecessary stress, and I am afraid of the extent of the damage she might cost. I also would not want

her and Sylvester to be estranged.” I confessed feeling emotional about it, and she hugged me.

I let my tears fall freely, realising I had been holding so much in with no outlet. I

didn’t want Sylvester to know it bothered me because he had a lot on his plate.

“What about Larry?” She asked, and the thought of Larry made me giggle. I wiped away my tears,

laughing.

“Sylvester knows he is innocent but wants to keep him a while longer,” I said, and she laughed.

“I must agree with him on that one. The old man is obnoxious,” She said, and we giggled.

We ordered lunch and then prepared to visit Alpha Jake Brighton. I was nervous about meeting him,

but I was hopeful.

Denis took us to the Alpha’s house. A blonde-haired woman about twenty years old let us in. The Alpha

lived comfortably, and I was glad his home wasn’t destroyed.

Avery and I sat on the couch in the living

room, and soon Alpha Jake joined us. He wasn’t smiling and came to sit down.

“To what do I owe this visit, Luna Albert? “He asked, and I wished he wouldn’t call

me that.

“Just call me Tamia. I am yet to wed the lord, and I no longer bear Leonardo Albert’s mark.” I said with

a smile, and he nodded.

“So he sent his woman,” he said, referring to Sylvester.

“He wanted to come himself, but I

insisted I come in his stead,” I said, and

he looked away and cursed under his breath.

“Alpha Brighton, Lord Volkov had no hand in this,” I said, and he stood up. His hands were shaking,

and his mouth was quivering.

“His father took my wife and sister, and

now he sent his men to kill my people,” He said, and I could understand his pain.

“We are trying to get to the bottom of the issue, Alpha. We are trying to fix the problem. Someone is

working against. Sylvester to force him to lose favour and step down. Please Alpha. If this person

succeeds, judging by their methods, the four regions would not have it easy,” I said, and he shook his

head.

“Alpha Corrigan’s region is secured. Nothing can happen to the south. I will just go and live there with

my people,” he said, and I nodded.

“There is no place like home, Alpha,” I said, and he shook his head.

“What do you want, Lady Tamia?” He asked me, and I was about to speak when

I felt like throwing up. Avery noticed

immediately and asked for their

bathroom.

We returned to the living room, and Alpha Jake looked worried.

“You do not seem well. Why will he send you or even let you come?” He said, and I shook my head

immediately.

“He didn’t, I insisted,” I managed, and then he sighed.

“I must commend your effort, Luna. Your ex-husband told me the same thing. Let us say that is the

case; how can we protect ourselves?” He asked, and I was amazed by his switch but knowing Leo had

spoken to him already made me realise he believed Leo but just wanted to hold on to his grudge.

“You can call the Alpha, Beta or Gamma directly to confirm anything henceforth. To show our goodwill,

the lord will be footing development projects in Brighton to fix the damage and improve the living

standard of the people,” I said, and the

man was grinning from ear to ear.

My words must be like music to his ears, and I was glad to put his mind at ease.

“Do you know the name of the enforcer that brought the tax order and led the attack on Brighton?” I

asked, and he smiled.

“Councilwoman Pamela sent the tax increment order, but as for the Kappa that attacked, he said he

was from Lord Volkov. He told us who sent him before they did their deed,” he explained.

“Did you get his name?” I asked, and he shook his head.

“But I can recognise his face,” He said, and that was good enough for me.

“I will be hosting a small luncheon at the Volkov Estate in a few weeks. I am

personally inviting you to come and

secretly identify the bastard by looking

through the pictures of every kappa warrior that belongs to the north. Do you think it is something you

can do?” I asked, and he nodded.

“I would like you to attend a Brighton festival tomorrow night. Some alphas will be in attendance. Kindly

have your driver move your belongings to my home. It is wrong to have my future luna, Lady of the

north, staying in a hotel. I must say, I see why Lord Volkov chose you,” He said, as

much as I wanted to decline and just leave in the morning. I knew it would be rude and spoil the little

progress I had made with the man, so I obliged him.
