Fate's Dark Side Chapter 58

"I am sure. She said they met at a party and danced, and that was all," I said, and she shook her head.

"You need to dig deeper, Sylvester. You don't meet someone once and risk a war for them. She is not being totally honest with you. You need to be careful and investigate her. She might be lying to you out of fear or something else. I do not want anyone to cause your downfall," She said and gently touched my cheeks.

"Please, investigate. This woman isn't telling the truth. Just think about it," She pleaded with me.

Even though my mother was right, I believed Tamia. I doubt she would lie about something like that.

I knew it was odd that he would risk a war for someone he had only met once.

I planned on questioning her gently about it, just so I would know what to do and how to approach the matter.

"I will dig into it," I told my mother, and she smiled.

"That is good enough for me," She said, relaxing and smiling at me.

"Soon, you won't fool around with your prisoners anymore. I am trying to get you a suitable Luna from the north. A virgin, to be precise," She said, smiling.

"I am not interested," I told her, and she frowned.

"You can't remain single all your life. Your father had Dominic at your age. You need an heir and a luna." She said, and I nodded.

"I am working on it," I said, and she became angry, understanding what I had just said.

"You cannot make a prisoner Luna. She is tainted and old. You need someone young.." She said, and I interrupted her.

"I am tainted and old too. I am not a virgin, and I am twenty-nine, mother, so we are a perfect fit," I said, and she shook her head but held her peace because she knew she couldn't win.

"I will wait for you to get her out of your system," She said, leaning back in her chair.

"Then you will be waiting a long time," I said and stood up.

"What are you doing?" She asked me, and I sighed.

"Leaving," I said.

"Why?" She asked, and I sighed.

"I left a woman I am crazy about in bed and came to spend time with you. Since I got here, the reception hasn't been warm. You have done nothing but berate me and insult my intelligence and choice. You insulted the very woman that made my heart start beating again and tried to make her look like shit. If I stay any longer, you might end up saying things that will ruin our relationship, mother. Since you can't be grateful that I am happy and have a reason to be hopeful and smile again, I have no reason to remain here," I said, and she became sad.

"Please stay; I promise I won't repeat anything bad about your girlfriend. I really missed you. We do not have to fight about it," she said, and I looked at her critically.

"In fact, you know what, I want to meet her," She said, and I shook my head immediately, knowing how it would end.

Although Tamia was strong, I wouldn't want anyone getting into her head or pushing her.

"No funny business, I promise. I will love to meet her. All I know of her is what your brother told me. I would like to make my observation unbiased," She said, and I knew she wouldn't drop it, so I nodded and sat down.

"I will think about it," I said, and she shook her head.

"No, do it," She said, and I did not respond.

"Does she have children?" She asked, and I shook my head.

"Never been pregnant, and before you judge her, there is nothing wrong with her. She married at nineteen, and her husband wanted them to take precautions because he wasn't ready." I quickly explained.

"So you mean they have been careful for five years?" She asked, and I nodded.

"That is really stupid of the Alpha," She said, and we both agreed and laughed at that.

"I see you care about her. I will try to like her," my mother said.

All her anger dissipated. I knew Dominic got into her head and made her say all that nonsense. She was lucky that even though I am the Wolf lord, I was patient and loved her dearly. I had no choice but to let it go. She was my mother, after all.
