The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 96

~Tamia~

I left the room and headed downstairs. Linda and Avery were busy congratulating Katya, who was blushing. Katya was the first to see me since she was facing my direction.

"Luna Tamia," She said, and I smiled at her. We were going to be sisters.

"Welcome to the family, darling," I hugged her. She returned the hug, and I broke it and squeezed Avery's hands, who squeezed in return.

"Katya was just telling us what made her give it up, finally," Avery said, teasing Katya, and I raised an eyebrow at her.

"It just felt right. He... he... he was.." she was trying to find the right words.

I squeezed her shoulder gently.

"We all know the feeling. There is no need to elaborate. I am sure you two will be happy together," I said, and she smiled.

"Oh my, there you all are," I heard Stephanie's cheerful voice as she approached us. I looked in her direction, and she was beaming.

"I am such a lucky woman. My sons found themselves two amazing women," She said and turned to Katya.

"I have known you were perfect for my baby," she said, embracing Katya, and we all laughed.

"Did you see Glenda?" she said, and we all giggled. Glenda did not look good at all when she left last night.

"Serves the bitch right. She has been trying to get her cousin in here. Putting her on Sylvester's itinerary, busy trying to get her cousin back together with Sylvester when she should have been worried about her relationship.

Glenda thought her relationship with Dominic was certain. I was so happy to see Dominic propose to Katya in her presence. I could not help but laugh." Stephanie said, and I could not believe what Glenda had been up to.

Not that I had an issue with Susan. Now that Sylvester and I were fated, there was nothing to worry about. Still, she would have been a serious inconvenience, and I did not want to deal with the nonsense. Good riddance.

"I am so happy, dear Avery; Marcel is over the moon. I heard him calling his family to inform them. The four of you are blessed, and I am happy to be a part of it." She said and touched my hand. I knew she wanted to speak to me privately, so we excused ourselves.

"Tamia," Stephanie said, looking at me and touching my hand.

"I am glad to see that you are capable. My son has found a true luna. One to accompany him through the difficult journey for the rest of his life.

I know you will raise a strong heir and help continue the Volkov bloodline. I am very proud of you. What you did for Sylvester cannot be quantified. You have saved our family from shame and disgrace.

My son is very kind, and those bastards have taken advantage of him repeatedly; I am glad they have met their match. I know you will deal with them.

Seeing how you played politics with those two bitches made me realise how strong you are. Whatever you need to do subsequently, please do it. Do it in my name until you are married to Sylvester.

I know you are working on many things, and William called me for consent a few minutes ago. I have instructed him to carry out your order as the lady of the north.

Please, Tamia, I know you are wise beyond your years; help my son bring peace into our lives. My son swallowed his pride and tried to maintain stability in our world, but there is war and turmoil in his life with all these hidden threats; please do all you can to expose them; I know you will succeed.

You achieved the impossible yesterday, which made me know you can," she said and sighed, looking at me seriously. It was the look of respect and adoration.

"I know what you did for him, Tamia. What you and your friends did to make those Alphas bend. Sylvester needs someone like you to balance him out. Those men are too kind. They need the three of you to balance their power. Thank you so much," she said and hugged me.

I wrapped my arms around her warmly and smiled. It was good to be welcomed, especially by a woman who doubted me and my intentions. I guess she was no longer in doubt.

"How is my grandbaby?" she asked, breaking the hug, and I giggled and touched my tiny bump.

"Growing," I said, and we laughed.

We ate breakfast, and the four of us headed to the Arena.

Everywhere was buzzing with life. People were going about their activities and watching games; it was amazing.

We went to our booth in the croquet section to watch the game.

Avery and I were playing in the evening. Linda was out, and she did not seem to care. It was funny. Linda just dumped the mallet and said she was done. She complained that it was making her sleepy. People laughed and clapped for her as she walked away.

While we watched, one of the Kappas working for Sylvester came to see me.

"Luna Volkov, you have some guests on your itinerary," he said, and I frowned at him and then looked at Stephanie, who smiled.

"You are the lord's mate; of course, you will have an itinerary. As long as the person's name is on that list, it is safe to see the person, and you must see the person. As a lady of the north, you must make yourself available to Lunas from all over. Next year will be a blast for you since you will officially be the lady of the north," she teased, and I smiled at her. I knew I was expecting Alpha Jake in the evening, but I did not know of any Luna.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Luna Amanda Richford," he said, naming the woman that almost ruined my life, and my stomach churned.

"What? How did that bitch get on the list?" Avery asked, fuming with anger.

"It was a humble request, and we vetted her before allowing it," The kappa said.

"Do you know who that bitch is?" Avery said, and the kappa became worried, afraid that he had made a mistake.

Indeed he had made a mistake because Amanda shouldn't have been allowed on the list. I knew he would lose his job and be punished severely if I made an issue of the matter, so I let it be.
