Fate's Dark Side Chapter 27

"I ask all the questions here, green-eyes," he said and walked out of his room.

I guess he was heading somewhere when I bumped into him.

I left his room in a hurry. I did not want to be accused of theft.

I returned to my room which was only a room away from his. I changed into his oversized clothes and went to the garden.

I noticed some ladies from the harem were there, and even Lilly had invited herself. I did not like the woman one bit. Ever since I learned she was twenty-three, I stopped being considerate.

I walked past her and her friends and heard what she was telling them.

"Alpha was on fire this afternoon," she said, and the other ladies who were younger than her giggled.

I learned people respected her because Sylvester was screwing her, and she promised to teach the others how to catch his attention.

The girls were stupid to think Lilly would teach them how to catch Sylvester's attention. That was the one thing that gave her an advantage over them, her only superpower. There was no way she was going to teach them anything.

I walked to Avery. She looked at my clothes and frowned.

"What are you wearing, Tamia?" She asked me, and I laughed.

"Sylvester didn't want me wearing the tunic I came in, so he gave me his clothes to wear," I said and everywhere went silent. I called his name, and I was wearing his clothes.

"Oh my, he is the jealous type like Leo. You always get those," Avery said, and I smiled and nodded. Ignoring the fact that the party was silent.

"Where is the music?" I said, and she giggled.

"No music. We are just chatting, eating and drinking." Avery said, and I looked at Linda, who smiled a bit.

She was drinking orange juice. One thing I noticed since we got to the north was that I hadn't seen Linda with alcohol. It was almost as if she had completely cut it out of her diet. I was happy for her.

"Marcel is taking me shopping tomorrow. Is there anything you want?" Avery asked me, and I frowned at her.

"Wow, that is a privilege. Are you sure you two aren't in love?" I asked her, and she shook her head.

"Hasn't said anything to me; we are just fucking," Avery said. I could understand her reluctance to get emotionally involved with anyone.

"Well, if you are happy, then I am happy for you," I said, and we laughed. I took a sip of my juice and sat next to Linda.

"How are you?" I asked, and she smiled at me.

"Better than I was yesterday," She said, and I smiled at her.

"The gamma?" I asked her, and she smiled.

"He has been understanding. Hasn't touched me or pressured me. To think Avery will be the one getting some here," she said, and I laughed.

"I was wild back home; here I am, remorseful," She confessed to me, and I hugged her.

"It gets better," I told her, and she saw the mark on my neck.

"Leo is serious," She said, and I touched it, feeling worried for my husband.

We had fun at the party, and soon it was time for dinner. Avery, Linda, and I headed to the dining room. On our way, Lilly accosted us.

"Please do not bore the alpha or get him too worked up because I usually get the brunt of it," she said and walked away before I could respond. The bitch always had to have the last say.

"What is it with her?" Linda asked disgustedly.

"I am wearing his clothes and calling his name without consequence," I said, answering Linda's question.

"They aren't screwing, you know. He is just fond of her," Avery said, and I laughed.

"Oh, they are," I said, remembering what I saw this afternoon.

"I saw them exit his room together," I said, and she frowned at me.

"Well, guess Marcel doesn't know that part," She said, divulging where she got her information.

We entered the dining room, and Marcel and Theodore were there. Sylvester wasn't, and I wondered where he was. Maybe buried inside Lilly somewhere.
