Fate's Dark Side Chapter 166
"Tell me you drew blood, Tamia," She said, and I was shocked. These women were dangerous.
"More than she could spare. She was lucky it was a controlled environment. I am not done with her yet," She said, and Theodore linked me.
" I would not want to be on her bad side," he said, and I nodded.
"Very well, are we ready to go to Jenny's?" I asked, and everyone was a bit excited.
It wasn't a date, we were going to snoop in a dead woman's house, but it seemed exciting to everyone. I hope we find something exciting there, and hopefully, it leads us somewhere.
Tamia and I returned to our bedroom to get dressed to go to Lucland.
I wanted us to spend the night in our house there, so I called the staff to prepare the place.
I was hoping to have fun with my friends and my luna.
We rode in our jeeps as always.
Tamia seemed excited and nervous at the same time.
I wondered if it were the hormones, and I placed my right hand on her thigh and squeezed gently.
We arrived at Jenny's house, and I was surprised that no one was in sight. I had asked that the place be guarded, but it seemed no one was there.
"Did we not put guards to guard the place?" Marcel asked, and I wondered why he was asking me these questions.
"I will call Kappa Wilson to find out why no one is here," Theodore said, and we entered the building.
It was dark and dusty, and I did not think it was safe for pregnant women to inhale so much dust, but I knew Linda and Tamia were stubborn, most especially Linda, who had been dying to leave the estate.
Avery found a switch and switched on the light, and the living room looked trashed.
Tamia rushed to the door in the corridor and tried the lock, but it was locked. The door seemed to lead to the hallway that led to the rooms and probably her office.
She examined the lock, and I moved close to see what she was looking at while the others snooped around the anteroom and the living area.
"There are scratches on the wood," She said, and I knew what it signified.
"Someone tried to get in forcefully but failed. Maybe there were guards, or the person ran off, but it seemed they did not have the time to break through discretely. I guess it was because people were guarding the place. If not, they could have smashed the door to get through." She pointed out.
I touched the door to understand the type of wood it was made of, but immediately, I felt a familiar weakness that comes with silver.
"Thick Oak. It would not have been easy even for a wolf because it has silver in it." I said, feeling weak just by touching the door.
"Jenny wanted to keep people out," Tamia said, and I smiled.
"Do not overthink it, darling. She might have only been protecting herself. She lives alone, you know," I said, and Tamia smiled.
"We need to find a way in," I said, trying to see how best to bring the door down.
Tamia took out two pins from her hair and smiled at me. I was amazed when I watched my mate pick the lock on the door.
"How did you know how to do this?" I asked, and she laughed.
"Leo and I used to..." She said and looked at me worriedly as if she had said something wrong.
I wondered why she would think that way when she rejected her fated for my sake. Leo paled in comparison to her fated.
"It's okay, green eyes; he is a part of your past. You can speak his name," I said, and she smiled.
"When I was seventeen, we were not supposed to be dating because I was under-aged; my aunt then used to lock the doors to prevent me from going out at night. Leo taught me how to quietly pick her lock when she was sleeping at night so we could hang out without her knowledge," She said, laughing. I realised it was a happy memory for her.
"I have never asked you of your parents, Tamia. Hope it isn't a sensitive topic?" I asked her, and she shook her head.
"Not at all. My father used to be Leo's father's Delta. My parents were killed when they went on a trip. No one told me how it happened, but my elderly aunt raised me. She died a month before my wedding. She was my last relative," She said. My heart broke because I could only imagine the trauma she went through when Leo betrayed her because he was her only family.
