The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 152

"After what happened with Dominic, I realised people are out to get me and hurt me. They can only hurt me by hurting you and our baby. We will be parents soon, Tamia. I want you protected at all costs. I know you will do an excellent job, tell my men what to look for, and they will bring it, but I can't let my wife out of my sight," He said and bent to kiss my lower belly.

"I have wanted this all my life. A mate that genuinely loves my family and me. Now that I have you, I can't be careless, Tamia. Please. Do not push it. These people are dangerous. They took Bryce's pregnant mate. I am not saying you are weak or can't defend yourself, but they are cunning and unknown. There is nothing more difficult than fighting the unknown," he said and touched my hand.

"Please, my love, do not argue with me on this one," he pleaded and kissed my hand.

"I want you to instruct my men, and they will do as you have requested. Share your thoughts with Theodore and Marcel, but I won't let you play detective. If you are bored, think of something to do for the All-regional games that does not involve you participating in the sports activities," He said. I knew he needed me to say yes. He was genuinely afraid, and I could see it. So I nodded.

"Basically, what I need are journals, notes however insignificant. If I can't go, at least let Theodore or Marcel lead the search. Finding these items isn't the only important thing. How and where they are found matters. It can say a lot and give us more information than the items themselves," I said, and he sighed.

"Very well, we will all go there. I will not let you out of my sight, Tamia. I won't." he said, and laid back down and pulled me close. He sucked on my sweet spot gently.

"I won't survive if I lose you. If anything ever happens to you, my darling, I will become the Dark Alpha," he said, and as much as it sounded like a joke, I knew he was serious.

We both fell asleep, and I woke up in the night.

It was nine at night, so I decided to walk to Avery's wing to check on her. She had been depressed lately, and I knew it was because of my pregnancy.

I knew she feared something was wrong with her, just like I was. I was sure she was alright and would happen soon, but I needed to ensure she was okay.

I left my room barefooted so I don't wake Sylvester. He was sleeping peacefully, and he needed the rest.

While I walked down the halls barefooted, causing me to have stealth, I heard someone whispering on the phone. I did not like eavesdropping, but these were dangerous times, so I leaned closer to listen.

"It is too tight right now; I can't get it for you. You will have to wait and let things loosen up a bit. Maybe during the games," A voice that sounded like Lily said. Then I heard her hang up and approach, so I hid behind a door. She walked out of the corner she was hiding and looked about to be sure the coast was clear before leaving.

I knew women from the harem were not allowed phones, and Sylvester never told me she had special privileges. Whatever she was doing, she was up to no good, and I wondered what she was asked to procure that would need to be done during the games when the security wasn't so tight anymore. I planned on telling Sylvester and having the woman investigated. She was scornful and might try to hurt us for it.

I walked and bumped into Stephanie, the last person I wanted to see.
