Chapter 30

30 The Hearing

-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. Dominic was sitting in a loge on the first level.

We were taken to the grand Loge meant for the lord. It was on the first level but on the opposite side of
where Dominic was sitting. It was a beauty.

I could see the Elders seat on the ground floor and the opened centre on the floor where the speaker
would start to speak so everyone could hear. It was a beautiful setting. If only it was bigger, they could
have plays there, but it was clear it was an official setting.



Some ladies were asked to serve our Loge, and from how they were dressed, it was obvious they had
a different kind of service. in mind.

Avery got uncomfortable and snapped at one of the girls.

Noticing what was happening, Marcel requested that men serve the Loge instead. The women were
not happy.

“Your reputation precedes you.” I leaned close to Sylvester’s ear and said; he looked at me and
frowned.

“Tell me you wouldn’t have selected a bedmate from those girls if I wasn’t in your life,” I teased, and he
smiled and kissed my hand.

“I only go for premium stuff,” he said, maintaining eye contact with me. His gaze made me shudder,
and I felt like I was the only one in the room. He had that effect on me, and he knew it.

He stuck out his tongue and sensually licked the back of my hand with the tip before kissing my hand
the second time. My pussy clenched, imagining his tongue on me.

“Sylvester,” I breathed, and he smiled at me. He had me right where he wanted.

Just then, a woman approached our Loge to speak with Sylvester.

“Lord Volkov,” She said, bowing her head,

“We are about to start. The Eastern Lunas have to follow me,” The woman said, and it still bothered me
that we were seen as eastern Lunas, even though we had no marks on our necks.

“They are no longer Eastern Lunas,”

Sylvester corrected her, and she bowed her head and apologised for her blunder.



We were led to the centre and made to stand. I guess we were the entertainment of the event.

Standing on the open centre of the ground floor meant we would be the ones answering the questions.

Seven elderly people took a seat where the elders sat, leaving one seat vacant.

I believed that was the chair that belonged to Elder Jenny. I felt terrible for her.

The leader of the council was a young man called Vino Lawrence.

He was an Alpha, and it seemed he had succeeded his father.

He was the most reserved, and it did not seem like he would be asking questions.

Looking at him, I realised the seats belonged to families, not nominated individuals. If not, Vino would
not be the head of the council.

“Luna Tamia Albert, welcome to the council. I know you know why you and your colleagues are here.
So we can get right to it,

“An elder called Larry McMillian said, and I nodded.

“Three days ago, Luna Stephanie and Elder

Jenney were attacked at Lunna Stephanie’s house by Southern and eastern soldiers.

According to the northern warriors on guard, they claimed the men were there to get you, and they
were sent by Alpha Devin Corrigan, also known as Bane. Explain your relationship with Bane and how
he knew to search for you in Luna Stephanie’s home.” The man said, and I was pissed off. He might
not have said it, but he insinuated I set the Luna up.



“I was the Luna of the Mountain pack, married to Alpha Leonardo Albert until I was given as a peace
offering to Lord Sylvester Volkov to settle the misunderstanding between the North and the east. I do
not know Alpha Devin Corrigan.”

“I met him once at a dinner party, and that was all. I have not communicated with anyone outside the
Volkov Estate. We are under strict conditions and cannot wander about the place or communicate with
outsiders.”

“I did not know where Luna Stephanie lived, and I have no dealing with Elder Jenny. I am not in a
position to shed light on the matter.” I said, and Elder Larry Laughed.

“Lying to the council is a crime Luna,” he said and looked at me with dark eyes.

“We have laws in the North, and we abide by them. I will give you a chance to come clean if it happens,
or your colleagues will be punished severely for the crime.” He said to

“I will not admit to anything because I did not do anything,” I said, and he nodded.

“Alpha Max Christian blanc of the Woodland pack at Hill Valley sent letters to his Luna. We were able to
intercept those letters, and we found something interesting. In those letters, Alpha Max tells his wife to
respond. He says he knows she can respond because you, Luna Tamia, sent Alpha Leo letters. about
your stay in the North,” He said, and I frowned at the man.

“We have the letters in our possession.” He said, and people began to murmur. I did not know what to
say.

“Luna Tamia, What did you tell your husband about the North? I am of the notion that you told him all
he needed to know.



Because there is an alliance between the east and south, Alpha Leonardo Albert, leader of the east,
sought help from the man that had beaten the North in battle, believing he would be able to do the task
to try to take you away from the North,” He said, and I could not believe this bastard. He had twisted
the narrative.

“These are all insinuations. You have no proof,” I said, and he shook his head.

“I have Alpha Max’s letters that say otherwise, Luna,” he said, and I was about to speak when I heard
Sylvester’s voice from his Loge.

“Enough!” He said, and everyone was silent.

“I made her write one letter to her husband when she got here and sent it myself. She did not know my
mother was in Lucland then. I read the letter and still have a photocopy of its content. You can not base
your deductions on the letter of a husband that misses his wife and wants her to write to him at all
costs. Besides, what I want to know is why they killed Elder Jenny. If Tamia was their target, they would
have injured both my mother and Jenny, not killed Jenny. I have done some investigations myself, and
my mother said they did not ask for Tamia; they beat her up and killed Jenny before she blacked out.
Whatever happened had nothing to do with Tamia, Avery and Linda.

And I will advise this court to refrain from referring to them as Eastern Lunas. As you can all see, They
no longer bear their husbands’ marks., They belong to my pack, and Tamia will be my Luna soon,” He
said, and people began to murmur.

As proud as I was of him, I did not think telling them I would be their Luna soon was a good idea.

They had it in for the east, and the three of us represented the east and south to them, especially
Dominic.
