The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 83

We finished our meals and laughed a bit before returning to our rooms.

I woke up early the next day to ensure everything was prepared and we were to receive luna Stephanie.

Since I wasn't married to Sylvester yet, she would be Luna of the house and be in charge of everything.

I just hoped we get along.

Although Sylvester wanted me to take control, I decided I would put it upon myself to ask her opinion before doing anything until I became the luna.

Sylvester and I stood at the entrance of the building to receive his mother.

Just as Marcel had thought, Dominic arrived with Glenda.

I was glad we won't be eating with them because knowing she was Susan's cousin made me uncomfortable with her, but Sylvester's mother had insisted that Dominic moves in, too, so we had no choice.

Luna Stephanie hugged me, and I greeted her, then she insisted I walk her to her room, so I told Sylvester I would join him later.

We got to her room, and she looked around, studying the place.

I knew she lived in the mansion before she moved to Lucland, so she was just trying to see what I had done to the place.

"I hope everything is to your liking, Luna Stephanie," I said respectfully so she would know she was still in charge.

She looked at me and smiled.

"Thank you, Tamia. I can tell you put in a lot of effort. Sylvester is lucky to have you," she said, and I smiled at her. I was about to excuse her when she stopped me.

"I want to speak to you, dear," She said and pointed at her seat.

I really did not like being alone with her, but I had no choice but to sit through it.

"Do you love Sylvester or just want to escape captivity?" She asked me with a straight face, and I was shocked.

"My son has had his heart broken before, and I learned this Bane guy is trying to get you by all means. I want to be sure that you won't just run off with Bane and leave him like Susan did. She ran away to the south and left him with a flimsy excuse," She said, and I shook my head.

"I did not want this union, but he was adamant, and I love him, so I will give you a chance to prove your worth. Until I am satisfied, you are not allowed to make any decisions in this place without passing through me. Prove to me that you love my son genuinely and not because he is the wolf Lord," She said, telling me exactly how she felt.

I could understand her being protective of her son.

"I understand; unfortunately, I do not believe I have anything to prove to you. As long as Sylvester knows how I feel about him, that is all that matters. I learned a long time ago that I can't please everyone, and everyone can't believe me. Your doubts are justified, but I won't spend my time trying to prove myself to you, Luna Stephanie. Life is too short for that. Instead, I will spend it building memories with the man I love. I do not care about his status, and I do not care about his money. I am a strong woman that can always survive on her own. I wasn't captured; I gave myself, so my husband, his pregnant mate and my pack members could survive. I am that type of person, and whether you like me or not, it wouldn't change it," I said, and her face faltered.

"So your husband made you share?" She asked me, and I smiled at her, nodding.

"Still, I understand your stance, Tamia, but I will study you before accepting you. Sylvester is my son, and I want the best for him. He is already going against tradition by marrying and mating with a woman who has been mated. I just want to be sure he isn't making a mistake. It isn't personal. I will watch your every move and investigate you until I am satisfied," She said, and I nodded and asked to excuse myself.

Her opinion did not count. All that mattered was Sylvester.

I left her room and returned to ours.

"Planning the wedding already?" Sylvester asked me with a smile, and I smiled back and nodded; there was no point telling him the things his mother said to me or her stance in all this. I did not want to create a problem between them. He came to kiss me, and I returned the kiss unbiasedly.
