The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 114

~Tamia~

I woke up at five in the morning. Although it seemed early, I knew it was because I slept early.

I was famished, too, because I skipped dinner.

I linked a staff to bring me a sandwich so I could eat something before breakfast.

I dreaded breakfast.

Knowing Leo and Devin were in the estate made me nervous. How was I going to face them? I didn't owe Devin anything, so he was the least of my concerns, but Leo was another ball game entirely.

I could not bear seeing the hurt in his eyes. I could tell he was hurting, and I could not handle it. I wasn't in love with him, but we still had ties that bound us. He was my best friend, and we went through a lot together. He kept all the promises he made to me except one. I did not know how I would face him.

"What is the matter?" I heard Sylvester's sleepy voice.

I did not know I was pacing the room until he saw me. I looked at him; he was trying to sit in bed.

"Nothing, darling, just hungry," I said, and he sighed.

"Are you sure that is the problem?" he asked, and I looked at him.

He said and focused his gaze on me. He had pity in his eyes.

"I know you are avoiding Leo and Devin," he said, and I was busted.

I went to sit at the foot of the bed, my nerves all over the place because I did not want him to think I felt anything for them.

"You need to be calm, Tamia. Your hands are shaking. I am not mad," he said and moved to where I was.

He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my neck. His scent calmed me down, and I wrapped my arms around him.

"Oh, Sylvester," I said, letting my tears fall.

The truth was Leo was a situation I did not know how to handle. It was easy to write a letter and truly forget about him. Seeing him was a different ball game.

"Oh, green-eyes," Sylvester said, gently stroking my hair.

"I know how it feels. It is not easy to break the heart of someone you care about. I know you saw the hope in his eyes and you are avoiding telling him to move on because you think it will crush him," he said, voicing out my real fear, and I held on tighter.

Then he pulled away so he could look into my eyes.

"It is not your fault. What happened is not your fault. You would have remained loyal and faithful to him. You loved him genuinely and supported him. You kept your promises, but he broke his. He created the problem and lost you.

He should have publicly rejected Amanda;

none of this would have happened. He didn't want to let her go. He wanted you to understand. Ramsey only took advantage of an opportunity he created. This is not on you, Tamia.

Do not feel guilty for moving on and falling in love again. Do not let his hurt get to you. If you had not come up north, would he have left her for your sake?" he asked me a fundamental and genuine question.

Just like that, images of Leo and Amanda flashed through my mind.

How he took her everywhere and asked me to watch the pack, how I had to share him with her.

People mocked me, and there was nothing I could do about it.

He broke my heart, both him and his wolf. I thought of it, and I realised that I owed him nothing but friendship. I should not feel sorry for moving on. Kaira and I did nothing wrong.

I looked at Sylvester, and he wiped away my tears.

"Everything led to you, darling," I said, focusing on the only man that mattered in my life. The one that did not care about my past. The one that loved me through my pain and helped me forget. The one that kept all his promises and is still keeping them. The one that completes me.

I stared at him and was mad at myself for allowing the past to plague me like this.

"I am sorry, darling. I am so sorry," I said, and he placed his index finger on my lips, shutting me up. He kissed me sweetly, and I was lost in his embrace.

His tongue probed until my mouth opened so we could taste each other. Taking off my night dress, he moved to my breast and sucked on the nipple. It was hard, and so was the second one. I moaned, forgetting my pain, and he laid me down to admire my body.

"My Queen," he said to me, making me giggle. I was excited at the route we were finally taking.

He bent to kiss my bump, and I felt butterflies in my tummy. His love bite tingled, and Kaira called onto Knight. When Sylvester looked at me, his eyes were utterly dark and beastly.

Moving down, he spread my legs to pleasure me, but I wanted him inside me.

"Inside," Kaira moaned, feeling impatient, and he groaned, then drove his cock inside and began to pump.

We were at it for two hours until we were exhausted. I figured the sandwich I ordered might have come in between the session, but we ignored the knock on the door.

After catching our breaths, we got up to get dressed, but the hunger had returned, so I checked the mini fridge, and there was yoghurt in it. I picked the one with strawberries in it and ate six packs.

They were too small to satiate me, but I knew it would hold until breakfast.

What Sylvester helped me see boosted my confidence, and I wasn't worried about seeing Leo again. In fact, if anything, I would encourage his relationship with Amanda, that is, if he still wanted her.

She had loved him in her way, and after what Amy said, I knew she wasn't an enemy, just someone caught in a bad situation.

I wasn't going to get involved with their relationship, but if the pups are indeed his, then it was wise he tried with her.

Raising children in a broken home is wrong, and it was worth the try if they could work out their differences.

As for Devin, he was a douchebag that blew his chance. He knew I was his; he knew I was suffering, and he saw it, yet he sent me home. My love and heart wasn't something he could just put off until he was ready. He chose his alliance with the east over me and should live with it and move on.

It was sad that even the coalition that happened was him playing into Ramsey's trap. Kyle was a fool, and he paid for it dearly. They all paid for their stupidity.
