Fate's Dark Side Chapter 172

There was deep relief in my chest that made me realise that I was worried about something.

"I know my father was a bastard, and he hurt my mother and the women in his life in irreparable ways. But I am nothing like him. I am not a dark alpha, and I refuse to be. Please do not let what we discover about my family and father make you afraid. I am nothing like him," He said, and I placed my head against his chest and let my tears fall freely.

"I know, my love. I know," I assured him, and he hugged me. Holding me close. I felt him turn on the faucet, and the water washed our skins.

I took off his shirt, and he took off his trousers and shorts and helped with my panties, leaving both of us naked under the shower.

The water washed away our fears and uncertainties.

He kissed and hoisted me up, burying himself deep inside.

He pumped gently, and I knew it was beyond the physical for me.

He was joining his soul to mine, owning and uniting with me. I held on and let him take me places.

We both came shattering on each other and loving it.

We completed the shower and exited the bathroom.

There were joggers in the wardrobe, so I opted to pair them with a white t-shirt. He wore the same, and we headed downstairs for dinner.

The amazing thing was that we all arrived in the dining room at the same time, with wet hair and in joggers. I wondered if the men planned this, but it didn't matter.

We sat at the table and served the food to eat.

"It was disturbing what we found back there," Linda began, and everyone agreed.

"Did you see the bondage pictures? Jenny and her Lord were into some kinky shit," Avery said, and we all laughed. I was glad our men did not take offence.

"No joke, but she wore the Mistress title with a capital M," Linda said, and we laughed.

"Honestly, it is sad," Avery said, and we were silent.

"I want to know how your mother could stand that woman," I asked Sylvester, and he shrugged.

"Honestly, if I were in her shoes, I would have found a way to make her disappear," Linda said, and we all laughed.

"You do not know how often I wanted to make Rebecca disappear. Kyle wasn't worth it. If he were, I would have committed a crime," She added, and Sylvester laughed.

"Honestly, my father wasn't worth the trouble. Trust me. With all I found, my mother could have as well driven a blade into his heart, and no one would fault her. He was shitty like that," Sylvester said, and I placed my hand on his thigh to rub gently.

"There are a lot of things we need to figure out quickly," I said.

"It is clear Jenny was the target, but why did they kill her in this house and not hers?" I asked, and Linda raised her hand as if we were in the classroom.

"Did you see her windows and the silver on her doors? They had to get her where she was less protected." Linda said, and we all laughed. Although I agreed with Linda's deduction, it did not make sense.

"It doesn't still make sense. This is the Wolf Lord's house. Stephanie is the Wolf lord's mother and lady of the north. There would be guards here; they were supposed to guard her. The main reason for bringing her here to live was to hide her and protect her from Devin and other enemies. It means this place was heavily guarded. Why would they attack and kill her in a heavily guarded place?" I asked, and as I asked the question, a scary truth dawned on me, one I dared not speak. I was silent immediately.

"I guess we will have to read her journal to understand her mind, and we can figure it out from there," Avery said, and everyone agreed, but I could not speak a word because the thought that loomed in my mind was the most likely answer, but I had to discuss it with Sylvester in private just in case I am wrong. I did not want to say anything that would hurt the investigation and people's reputations.
