Fate's Dark Side Chapter 34

"Please help me mail this later to Leonardo. You can read its content. It poses no security threat. I am just asking him to move on." I said quickly, and his eyes darkened. He held my arm and made me follow him to his office.

The moment the door was shut, he looked at me angrily.

"Do not abuse the privilege, Tamia. No one is allowed to communicate with their loved ones here. That is precisely the point. I will not make exceptions for you," he said, and my heart broke a bit because I did not feel I was asking for too much. I just wanted to say goodbye.

"Other trophies were actively given to you, so they said their goodbyes to their loved ones. He was unconscious when they took me away," I said with tears.

"How am I sure it is not a secret code? How am I sure you are not giving him information about the north? About me?" He asked me, and I knew he wouldn't bend on this one.

"I am sorry I asked. It won't happen again," I said, folded the letter, and put it in my pocket.

"May I be excused?" I asked.

"You did not answer my question," he said, and I took out the letter and handed it to him.

"Read it and decide for yourself. I am sure you have code geniuses here; they can tell you if I am selling secrets or not," I said, and he opened the letter to read it. I could see shame in his eyes when he was through. I figured he had trust issues.

"Very well, I will send it to him, but no more, and no one must know of this," he warned, and I nodded and thanked him. Whether I liked it or not, however kind he was and however comfortable the place was, I was still a prisoner of war.

"Horse riding is in an hour; meet me at the stables." He said, and I nodded.

I was grateful that he agreed to send the letter.

I left his office and headed to my room.

On my way, I bumped into the annoying Lilly and her friends. She was behaving like a child.

"Alpha couldn't stand seeing your hideous body, so he told you to cover up," she teased, looking at what I was wearing and ignoring the fact that they were his clothes. I tried to walk away, but they blocked me. I really wasn't in the mood for this.

"I sent you a message on his cheek this morning. Did you get it?" She asked me, and I did not respond.

"Do you want to know how it got there?" She asked, and I heard a growl behind me. I did not need to guess who it was.

"Lilly! in my office now!" Sylvester growled, and I started walking away quickly.

I did not want to imagine what they would do there together.

After what happened with Leo, I should have had a thick skin, but Sylvester got to me. I did not know why but he got to me.

I moved quickly into my room and felt jealous over him for the first time.

I knew I was grieving, but I could not understand why he always controlled himself around me. It made me feel unattractive.

It should be the least of my worries, but I was petty like that, thanks to the fact that I had nothing to do and I sat in a castle idle all day.

Once it was time to meet him at the stables, I headed there. I hoped to see many people, but it was just him and two horses. He walked to me smiling. He was all decked up and ready. He handed me what to wear, and I thanked him. I was still mad about Lilly, but I kept it to myself. I might end up punishing him for it.

"Do you know how to ride?" he asked me, and as much as I tried to get my mind out of the gutter with that question, my mind was rolling in it.

"Of course," I said, and he laughed, knowing exactly what I meant.
