The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 205
I felt an overwhelming giddiness in me, and I tried to fight it. My eyes stayed glued to her.
Everything faded in those moments. My hands were itching to touch her, my lips were begging to kiss her, and my entire system was out of control. No one existed. Nothing mattered. I looked at her, and our eyes met.
"Mate," the words escaped my lips effortlessly, and she smiled and responded.
"Mate," I did not hear her voice, but I read her lips, and she was coming for me.
I wanted to take her away from that place. There were colours around her, and the swirl of colours blurred out the crowd, making me zero in on her. She was my focus, the centre of my attention.
Someone was trying to link me, I could feel it poking at the sides of my mind, but I was closed off. All I wanted was Susan. All I needed was her, and Knight wanted to go for it.
"Sylvester," I heard a faint fearful voice call out to me, but I did not care; it did not matter. I just wanted Sussan.
"Mate," Knight kept saying, and her scent filled my senses. I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't figure it out.
Susan walked towards us.
"Susan," Knight said, howling in my head, and I knew I needed to take control.
He had dominated me completely with his animalistic side; I was fighting him. I did not know why I was fighting him, but I knew it was wrong. Something felt utterly wrong about it.
I began to fight the scent because it was overpowering me.
The more I breathed her in, all the emotions I buried and tried to forget came back. Memories of us filled my mind, and I wanted to return to those days when I had no care in the world, and we made plans for the future, hoping we would be fated.
I fought and then remembered that she left and I was broken, and I tried to move on.
Tamia came to my mind. From the moment I lifted her chin and gazed into her eyes to the promises I made her, our baby and her fears, I knew I had to push back.
As calming and soothing as the feeling was, I had to push back. Every fibre of my being wanted Susan, Knight wanted Susan, and he fought me. I fought him with all my might. I could not do this to Tamia. I dared not break her again.
Susan approached confidently, and I could see she was glad we were fated.
She spoke her mind confidently, already assuming the mate role, and I felt people were watching us, but I was battling Knight at the same time. She spoke to me, and I felt Tamia get up.
I dared not let her leave like this. I did not have complete control, but I held her wrist to stop her from leaving.
I knew it would be over if she walked away at that moment.
I went through the motions. I heard a loud noise. Someone had somehow taken the crowd's attention from us, but I could not look; the bond enthralled me. It was trying hard to snap in place, and I fought it with all my might.
I fought Knight while I spoke to Susan. I noticed how she looked at Tamia, and it pissed me off. She had no right, and I wasn't going to give her the power to make that okay. Her disrespect towards Tamia was what gave me the strength to reject her.
The pain cut through my chest as I felt something cut the bond's connection.
The pain increased gradually, and I let Tamia lead me out of the hall.
I dared not show weakness but felt the drain of strength and joy.
It was so strong that Knight began to howl and growl in agony.
All of the happiness left me. I felt empty and incomplete. It was a strange feeling, one I had never felt before.
