The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 102
"You said so, remember," she said, winking at Sylvester. He wanted to speak, and I stopped him and shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you, Arya; I have heard about you from the other girls in the harem. I am Tamia Albert, his fiancée and future luna," I said, and her smile dropped.
I saw a twitch of disbelief in her eyes. It was blinking on its own, and I wanted to laugh.
"How could you?" She told him with tears in her eyes.
"What does she have that I don't?" She asked, and Sylvester smiled at her and pulled me close to him by my waist.
"Isn't it obvious?" he asked her, and she looked at me.
"He moves on quickly," she linked me, and I realised she was still a member of his pack.
"I guess I will enjoy it while it lasts," I said, touching my chest with my left hand so she could see the emerald engagement ring in my hand.
The woman looked at Larry, and I realised Larry had brought her to us deliberately. I realised Larry wanted to cause a problem between us.
She walked away feeling hurt, and Sylvester pulled Larry close by the collar. I touched his hand to release the man.
"It didn't mean anything. I had fun talking to her, Sylvester; let him go, please," I pleaded with him so he would know that it did not bother me.
"Pull that kind of stunt again, and I will beat you up. I will show you how far I am willing to go to drive my point." He said and let Larry go.
Just then, Theodore walked up to us and punched Larry in the face. The man fell down.
It all happened so fast, and the room was at a standstill. Theodore was furious, and I wondered what Larry had done to him.
"Who the fuck do you think you are, inviting all the women from our harem for breakfast? Do you want to ruin my relationship? Your actions upset Linda," he said and tried to lift him up, but Sylvester stopped him.
"You have to let me at him, Sylvester. Beatrice really upset Linda. We do not need that kind of energy right now," Theodore said, and I looked in Linda's direction. She looked annoyed.
"Leave him alone," Sylvester told Theodore. If I doubted Theodore was an Alpha, this was proof. His rage was affecting me, and I clung to Sylvester.
"You need to calm down," Sylvester ordered Theodore.
Larry wiped away the blood in his mouth and looked around. Then just as consistently, Dominic came to his aid.
"He has done nothing wrong. Why tag team on the old man with your friends, Sylvester? You are a bully; first, you increased taxes for the poor people in the west, then you attacked them with your army, and now you are beating a council member because he invited women you and your friends used, abused and dumped. Where do your cruelty and incompetence stop?" He asked and turned to look at the rest of the guests.
"Behold your lord of the north and his goons," He said, and Sylvester was mad.
He pulled Dominic by the collar, and I let him because Dominic had gone too far.
"If I find out that you were the one that set me up by increasing the taxes and attacking the villagers in the west like you attacked Bane in the south, I swear I won't say you are my brother; I will end you. Your hunger for power is making you plot against me. I swear I won't let it go. Not even mother will stop me from dealing with you," Sylvester said and flipped the narrative.
Dominic began to laugh, and Sylvester let him go.
"Nice one; try to feign innocence because you know your days are numbered. You, of all people, know that isn't my style. I know you did it, Sylvester, and I will prove it," he said.
"And what will be his gain?" I asked him, angry at how he spoke to my man.
"Shut your trap, eastern whore, no...." And Sylvester sent him a punch before he could finish the sentence.
He knelt over Dominic and began to punch him.
"Have I not warned you?" He said, livid, and I tried to stop him.
Theodore and Marcel had to help pull him off.
Dominic was in shock on the floor. He wasn't expecting Sylvester to lose his shit like that.
"You disrespect her like that again, and I will do worse," Sylvester yelled at Dominic. I was embarrassed by how people were watching us.
"I did nothing wrong by calling you out on your wickedness," Dominic replied.
"And what would be his gain ?" I asked in tears seeing how determined the arsehole was to ruin his brother's reputation.
"What is his gain, Dominic? Why would he increase taxes and then kill people in the west? Why? Just tell us his benefit and gain in all this?" I said, and he was speechless.
"Do not let your envy for your brother ruin the family's name and the family. It is just the two of you. You keep doing this, and you will be alone, Dominic. Do you think Larry cares about you? He doesn't," I said and held Sylvester's hand.
"Let's go home," I said, and Sylvester was stunned, but he pulled me close, held me and kissed the top of my head to calm me down. In those moments, I did not care that everyone was looking at us. He was all that mattered.
Vino came to apologise, and we left quietly.
