The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 87

"Tamia did it," Sylvester said, and Dominic laughed.

"Of course she did; she is used to that work. Was she not someone's wife before you took her as spoils?" Dominic said, and before Sylvester could speak, Stephanie shut him up.

"You will not disrespect Tamia and your brother in his house. This might be a Volkov property, but as Lord of the north, this is his home, and as future Luna, this is Tamia's home. We all have our reservations, but I will not allow you to misbehave," She warned him, and he shook his head.

"I can't believe you will go along with this, mother. He is making a terrible decision with this woman. Every prisoner would want to find favour in the eyes of their gaoler so their lives would be easy. How can you let him throw his life away?

He can choose from plenty of young virgins in the north. If they are too young and inexperienced, we can try and find someone or look for Susan in the south and make her come home. Instead, you are letting him marry another man's wife. A woman whose husband did not want anymore. This is wrong, mother," he said, and those last words got to me, but I held my tears. I promise myself I won't let them fall.

"She is down on her luck. Of course, she would want to be with Sylvester. Even you have questioned her motives, mother. I can't pretend this is okay when we know it isn't. The north also has issues with the south and the east. She was head Luna of the east. Her loyalty will always be to her people first, before anyone. Why are you letting him make this mistake, mother? Why?" Dominic snarled.

"I will advice you to leave this table now," Sylvester said to Dominic with a low growl.

"Or else what?" Dominic said, and I saw that Sylvester's hands were shaking.

I could feel the pressure of his anger, and it wasn't good.

"Calm down, Sylvester," His mother said, but he wasn't calming down. Dominic had struck a nerve with him.

"Dominic, apologise," His mother said, and the stupid man refused. I knew it wouldn't be good. We had yet to eat.

Sylvester stood up and headed to where Dominic was seated.

"Please, Sylvester, do not get physical with your brother. Please," Stephanie said, and he did not listen. He lifted Dominic from his seat and slammed him against the wall.

"Sylvester, please," Stephanie began to cry. Sylvester growled and held him against the wall. He sent a punch to Dominic's face, and he bled.

"Please, do not kill my baby, please," Stephanie said, and I wondered why she would use that word.

They were both her children. Did she favour Dominic above Sylvester? She knew it would be like this because they never saw eye to eye. She also knew that Dominic found it difficult to respect his brother.

She should have cautioned Dominic when he went off on me, but she let him finish his resentful derogatory words before warning him.

"Don't just stand there. Stop him," She yelled at me.

Sylvester was punching the life out of Dominic, and it seemed Dominic would pass out soon. I wanted him to beat some sense into him so he would know his place. He wasn't alpha, and he wasn't lord. He had better learned to respect his brother.

"Tamia, do something!" Stephanie said, and I was reluctant to get involved because Dominic had said hurtful things about me, but I had to do something because Stephanie was already crying.

"Sylvester, please stop," I pleaded, but he did not listen.

"It didn't hurt me, Sylvester! His words did not hurt," I lied, and he stopped and looked at me. His eyes were jet black. It was Knight that was doing the beating.

"Knight, leave him alone, please," I pleaded with his wolf, and Knight left Dominic.

Dominic slid down to the floor.

His battered face was already healing; Sylvester had done a number on him.

"I guess we won't be eating together," Sylvester told his mother, and she shook her head and went to Sylvester.
