Fate's Dark Side Chapter 259

We stepped out, and my mother squeezed Tamia's hand. She knew Tamia had a hand in the outcome of the hearing.

"You got yourself a gem," She linked me, and I smiled at her. We did not want to speak out because we did not want people to listen to our conversations and figure things out.

The ride home was joyous, and I was breathing fine.

This was the second time Tamia would do something drastic to save me from the council.

She had come into my life at the right time.

We arrived home and headed to our room to change. The moment we entered, I grabbed Tamia, and she let me.

"I would take you right now; if Christian and his friends weren't waiting for me in my office," I whispered in her ear and grazed my teeth on the sweet spot.

She was aroused immediately, and I could smell it.

Knight was going crazy. I needed to claim her. The mate bond had begun to tug even harder than it did with Susan. I contemplated it but wanted it to be special, so I relented and forced my teeth to retract.

I could not resist the scent. So I put Tamia against the wall while she giggled, knowing what was happening. She teased me, grinding her cute butt against me, and I reached under her skirt and realised she wasn't wearing panties, which made us giggle.

"You are naughty, green-eyes," I said and rolled up her skirt.

I buried myself in her and went to work.

I battled my wolf so hard. Knight wanted to sink his teeth in. I wondered how Marcel and Theo would feel when they found out we were fated.

I needed the union to be unique. Although it was meant for chosen mates, the blue moon ceremonies were extraordinary and more romantic than the claiming of fated mates. I could not deprive both of us of that joy. I also wondered how the claiming would be on a blue moon now that we were fated.

I pumped and felt her come, which made me grab onto her tightly and go faster until I came too.

We got ready to head downstairs to join Alpha Christian and his colleagues in my office. I knew Inkabod was with him and along with two other Alphas. Marcel had already linked me.

I entered the office with Tamia and found only Theodore and our guests waiting.

"Where is Marcel?" I asked Theodore.

"He had to take Avery to the hospital. She is running a fever," he said, and Tamia giggled.

I wondered what was amusing about that statement but kept it to myself.

I went to sit on my chair and asked Tamia to sit on my lap. Tamia's presence made the meeting look less serious.

"Alpha Christian," I said, and he bowed his head in shame.

"I can't believe you were the one that championed that petition, yet you had the effrontery to ask me to help you find your mates. Why couldn't you wait for the democratic government you were pushing for to find them?" I asked him, and he was silent.

"Do you think ruling is easy? I have to put up with a lot of shit every day. Do you know the amount of nonsense I deal with? My peace is taken from me daily to keep you safe. In my time, there has been no war. Do you think it is that easy? Do you not know history? Have you forgotten what happened when something like that was in place? The head of the council was regarded as lord. The governors fought for that seat, creating a serious war, forcing my family, the Sidorovs, the Orlovs, the Belyaevs and the Lawrences, to wage war and reinstate the autocratic rule of the royals, which formed the lordship. Why will you want to return to such a time, Christain? Have I not been lenient? Have I not allowed everyone to rule their packs as they see fit? Why?" I asked him, sounding genuinely hurt because I was.

I felt betrayed; I felt like my kindness was thrown back at me.

"We did not mean to either," Christian said and looked up at me with tears.

"I am content with your rule. I was forced to back that petition," he confessed, and I frowned at him.

"My first son and my only Alpha heir went to study in Gad. A group of people kidnapped him and forced me to raise this petition and back it up," he said, and I frowned at him.

"Why would you send your son to school in the west? It might be under me, but you know how my father acquired the place and took out their leader. They might be civil, but we all know it is unwise to roam about the west unprotected. They have only started accepting my rule. What were you thinking?" I said, and he shook his head.

"I sent him there against my better judgement. My mate forced me to do it," he said.
