The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 40

Soon breakfast was over, and Sylvester asked me to join him for training. I dreaded going to that room after seeing the amount of silver that was in it, but I humoured him and followed.

I did not know how physically weak I had become until I trained with Sylvester.

I felt terrible about it, but he calmed me down. He told me not to worry about it, but it troubled my soul.

After the training, Sylvester and I showered together, and he said he had something planned out for us.

He led me to the eastern garden of the estate, and there, a small picnic was planned for us.

There were people in the garden, especially women from the harem, but no one came near us.

"Wow, Sylvester, this is amazing," I said, thrilled by what I saw. It was a bit chilly outside, but I appreciated it.

We sat on the mat, and he bought out a thermos and poured hot chocolate into a mug for me. To my surprise, he poured tinny marshmallows on the top.

"How did you know?" I asked him, and he smiled.

"Let us just say someone gave me tips on how to woo you," He said, and I knew who that was; for the first time, thinking of Leo did not make me sad; I smiled, grateful for his effort.

Sylvester moved closer to me and kissed me. I knew the ladies present could see us, and I grabbed onto his head and kissed him harder, showing ownership and staking my claim.

We broke the kiss, and he laughed.

"You want them to know," He said, knowing what I did.

"You can't blame me, Alpha," I said, and he smiled.

We stayed there a bit, and I gathered the courage to ask him why he chose me.

He looked at me and smiled, then lifted my hands and kissed them.

"It is our tradition in the north to split the lunas of the packs we conquered among the first three officials. In my father's time, they would sleep with them, owning them completely to show they had conquered and dominated the alphas to whom the lunas are tied, but in my time, the three of us usually split them among ourselves and assigned duties to them. I do not think sleeping with a woman against her will just to prove I have conquered her husband is humane." He said, and I was stunned by the barbaric practice of the ones before him. He was different.

"Why didn't you assign a duty to me?" I asked him, and he lovingly tucked my loose strands behind my ear and looked into my eyes.

"I was smitten by you, Tamia. I can't explain, but you made my heart beat faster than usual, and I knew something was there. My wolf wanted you, and he staked his claim before I could process the feeling," He said gently and leaned closer to kiss me.

His kiss was comforting and reassuring. I realised he was falling just as fast as I was.

"You won't be a rebound, Sylvester," I linked him, and his kiss became more hungry.

He travelled to my neck and sucked the sweet spot. I wanted him to sink his teeth in; he sucked hard and grazed his teeth on the spot, making me dizzy and turning me into a moaning mess.

Gradually he stopped and pulled away.

"Soon," he told me, and if we were alone at that moment, I wouldn't have taken soon for an answer; I would have gone on a ride, and he knew it.

He laughed, showing his perfect dentition and pulled me close while we enjoyed the scenery together.

We stayed there until sunset, then returned to the house for dinner.

Besides the training session, it was the best day I had had in a long time. I hope Sylvester will complete the experience and make love to me. It was overdue. He knew I wanted him, and I knew he wanted me. There was no point holding back. The wooing was complete.
