Fate's Dark Side Chapter 80

The guy had been trying so hard to be friends that I felt it would be cruel to say no, so I nodded.

"I am sure my Luna and I will make the time to show up at your party," I said, and he smiled and nodded.

"Thank you so much, your eminence. It is an honour," he said, and I smiled and nodded.

He walked away happy, and Tamia nudged me.

"You have a fan," she teased me, and I looped her hand in mine.

We left the place and returned to the Volkov Estate.

My mother was going to move in the next day, so Tamia took it upon herself to ensure my mother and brother's rooms were ready. She also allocated staff to them.

It came to her naturally; I knew it was because she had been Luna since she was nineteen. After running the east for five years, it came to her quickly; her former Luna friends also chipped in, so she wasn't overwhelmed.

Sometime in the evening, Tamia walked into my office, a bit exhausted.

"Hectic day?" I asked her, and she smiled and sprawled on the couch in my office.

I left the desk and went to sit on the couch. I asked her to lie down so I could massage her feet.

I knew she stood throughout the process, so I believed her feet would be killing her.

It was nice doing this for her. As I massaged her feet, she moaned with approval.

"Yes, right there," She said, relaxing in the chair. The sound of her approval wanted me to do other things to her. I continued to work on her feet.

"So, is that how they argue with you at the council?" She asked, moaning in between.

"Larry and Dominic, yes. Vino wants to be my friend, and the others are too scared to voice their minds," I said, and she laughed.

"With the way you used your command, they are bound to be afraid of you, Sylvester. You are too damn scary," She said, and I tickled her feet, making her giggle.

I picked the other foot and worked on it.

"You know they used to tell us scary things about you when you succeeded your father," She said, eyes closed, half asleep.

"They told us you were a monster and a savage. Sometimes women told their children scary stories about the Dark Alpha of the north. They said you drink wine with skulls and so on, and people dreaded you. When news travelled that Bane defeated your army, there was a tinge of hope that you might bleed like the rest of us," She said and chuckled.

"If only they knew it was Dominic they defeated and not you," She laughed, proud of me.

"Then you conquered what was left of the west, and people got worried that you were coming to the east too." She said and stopped smiling.

"The day of the meeting, I warned them not to aggravate you. I warned them not to team up with the south against you because, based on the stories I heard, I figured you only act when provoked, but they did not listen," she said and looked at me with sleepy eyes.

"Never did I imagine that you would be a loving man. A man that would make my heart beat in ways that I can only imagine. A man that would see my soul and capture it, one that would heal my wounds and dry my tears. A man that would bring back the fire that heartbreak and betrayal put out. A man that would give me a reason to try again. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined you would mean so much to me and I would be in your arms. Never, Sylvester; but here I am, yours, body and soul," She said, looking at me with misty eyes.

I thought I was the only one who loved deeply, Tamia did too, and I did not need to question how deep her love for me was. It was deep enough to want to spend the rest of our lives together.

"I love you, Sylvester. With my heart, body and soul. Today you did for me something I did not expect. You stood up for our love. I will never forget how you damned the council and honoured me as your luna. Even though they tried to make me seem worthless, you added value and dignity to me. I won't forget how deep and true your love is, Sylvester. I will keep what happened today with the council in my heart and always forgive your shortcomings. Love can not be given as much as you have given yours in humility and complete honesty," She said, and my heart began to beat fast.

I thought what I had with Susan was deep and genuine, but now I know it was a joke.

Looking at Tamia pouring her heart out while I massaged her feet made me know I had made the right decision, and somehow everything that went wrong in our lives had brought us together for this specific purpose so we, too, could experience true love in its purest form.

I could only kiss her feet and promise never to hurt her. It was time to burn Susan's letter.
