~Tamia~
Sylvester's mother received me with kindness, and she was nice to me, but I realised Sylvester wasn't happy about having his brother on the estate.
I could understand his reluctance. I have met Dominic three times, and none have been pleasant.
Sylvester searched my eyes for answers, but I could not give any. Until I officially became his Luna, I had no say.
Dominic walked into the living room with his girlfriend, who was afraid of Sylvester.
"Have you told the wolf Lord, mother?" Dominic asked and came to sit in the living room with his girlfriend.
"I have told him, but there are conditions," his mother said, and he exclaimed.
"He can't give me conditions to live on our family's property," Dominic said, and their mother growled.
"He can, and he has. He is lord and Alpha of the North; you will give him his respect, Dominic. I am beginning to sense you are jealous of your younger brother," His mother said, and Dominic seemed bewildered by her words.
"Why do you think I am jealous, mother?" He asked, and she looked at him.
"To begin with, you lied about his relationship with Tamia; you made it seem like he was going about misbehaving, and you made it seem as if she was a liability. Then you lied about him neglecting his responsibilities. When Jenny came to meet me, she had nothing but praise for Sylvester. I will advise you to find something worthwhile and stop trying to bring your brother down, and yes, he has the right to set the rules. He is lord and Alpha. You will abide by his rules, or you won't move in with us. I am warning you that you should not insult or disrespect Tamia. She is Sylvester's chosen and future Luna of the North. You will give her her respect," His mother said, through gritted teeth, and I could feel the boss in her rise to the surface.
She was a tough woman, and I could see where Sylvester got his toughness from. Although I hadn't met their father, I figured Sylvester was more like his mother.
We spent a while with Luna Stephanie Volkov, Sylvester's mother. She was a joy to be around. She showed me baby pictures of Sylvester, making me want to have children.
I remembered how hurt I was when Leo told me Amanda was expecting. I looked at Sylvester and thanked my stars for giving me a second chance.
Understanding how I felt in those moments, he touched my hand and squeezed. He knew I wanted children. Leo must have included it in the letter.
"I can't wait too," He linked me, and tears welled in my eyes, but I brushed them away before luna Stephanie would ask me why I was crying.
Glenda tried to be friendly, but I was weary of her; learning she was Susan's cousin did it for me, and I did not trust her intention towards Sylvester.
I trusted my man, but I did not trust her. Knowing that Dominic would be moving into the estate meant I would have to deal with her. I am okay as long as Susan does not miraculously show up looking for her cousin. Somehow I knew what Susan did still hurt Sylvester even though he wouldn't admit it. She was best far away from us. I hoped she was married with plenty of children.
Soon it was time for us to leave, and Luna Stephanie felt sad about it. She pleaded with Sylvester to let us stay, but he declined because we had to answer questions at the council early in the morning the next day. According to him, Avery, Linda and me would be questioned extensively about Elder Jenny's death. As long as Dominic wasn't doing the questioning, I was fine with it.
We returned to the estate and tried not to assault the driver's senses this time.
Entering our room, Sylvester pulled me close to him and kissed me.
"No one will hurt you, I promise." He said, and I smiled at him.
"I know," I said, assuring him I was okay, and he smiled.
We went to shower so we could get ready and head for dinner.
Dinner was a bit silent.
I guess Sylvester had linked Marcel and Theodore about the new development.
They weren't enthusiastic about Dominic moving in.
I guess I wasn't the only one that did not like Dominic.
Linda was afraid and wondered how we could remain calm after finding out that the man that locked us up in cages and tried to pin Luna's assault and the Elder's murder on us, was moving in. I had no answer because I was afraid, but I was confident that Sylvester wouldn't let him hurt us.
After dinner, we all returned to our rooms and decided to sleep early so we would be refreshed the next day.
I thought we would be sleeping, but Sylvester had other things in mind. He went under the covers and decided to give me the wildest night yet. Kaira howled in my head, enjoying every bit of his ministrations.
It was clear he was trying to get a baby in me. I wasn't on the pill anymore, so it might happen soon.
We left early the next day for the Dark Wolf Pack council building in Lucland. It was tall and grand.
The sight of the building alone was intimidating.
The North was the most developed and organised part of our world.
It was only normal they would lead the rest of our world, and now that I was a part of it, I was proud of it.
We entered a small auditorium, loges boxes were on the walls.
The boxes were raised sitting platforms towards the rear of the auditorium.
They were on multiple levels stacked vertically above the ground. I counted a total of six levels of sitting boxes on the wall.
