Chapter 75

~Sylvester~

I heard my mother enter our room, and I wondered what she wanted with Tamia; I was still battling with
my cufflink, so I remained. I didn’t interrupt her.

My mother’s words touched my heart. I knew Susan had been trying to reach me since she arrived but
I ignored her.

Glenda had come to see me in the office twice, and by the third time, I had banned her from my wing.

The woman was obnoxious hence why Dominic still found it hard to commit to her fully.

I was sure that if Dominic met someone like Tamia, he would change.

I had to ask her how she would feel if I tried to turn Dominic away from her, and she got the message.

I thought it was stupid of her to try to get me to see Susan knowing that I was mated to Tamia.

I was glad that my mother took the initiative.

I exited the closet when my mother left and saw Tamia.

She looked breathtaking. If the event wasn’t important, I would have peeled off her clothes and taken
her on the spot.

Her tummy was flat, and I wished her bump was showing like Linda’s just so Leo would know to keep
off.

I trusted my woman and knew she would only have eyes for me.

I also took comfort in the fact that Devin would not be attending the event.



I did not know his reasons, but Marcel had put someone to watch him, just in case he was up to no
good.

I still could not forget that he believed he should be lord because he killed my father.

Inviting Devin without my consent was going to cost Joan and Pamela. I just needed the games to be
over before I made my move.

We arrived at the ballroom and everyone stared at us.

I heard the whispers, and I ignored them.

It was mainly envious folks. They made it sound like I took someone’s wife and made Tamia seem like
she was a social climber.

I was glad Tamia wasn’t listening or maybe she heard and just chose to ignore it. Either way, her mood
wasn’t affected.

I did not miss the multiple lustful eyes that looked at Tamia; I had to growl to make them stop, but there
were people that couldn’t help it. My mate and soon-to-be wife had that effect. She was captivating.

We sat at the table, joining my friends, their mates and my mother.

I did not miss the eastern Alphas that angrily left the hall. With how they looked at Marcel and Theo, I
figured they were Avery and Linda’s exes, and I knew the women were enjoying it.

The Alphas lined up to greet me, and when it was Leo’s turn, I could see he had it bad.

The man seemed like he had fallen on hard times. He had dark circles, and his eyes weren’t lively.

He stared at Tamia with regret and longing but dared not express it. Tamia was no longer a member of
his pack, so he could not link her.



He walked away and I could tell he wished things had happened differently.

If it weren’t for the letters exchanged between us, I might have beat him up for what he did to Tamia,
but all was water under the bridge now.

I had fun at the party and Tamia and I danced and socialised with people.

Tamia and I went to sit at our table when Susan walked in.

She looked elegant. She looked so good, and I knew it was deliberate. I was a bit pissed off that they
would allow her into the party, but I kept it together; there was no time that I wouldn’t have to face her;
besides, she was the one who left me; it was okay to be civil.

I was still thinking of how to handle seeing her when the scent came. Roses and mint.

Knight growled in my head, and he began to do somersaults.

I felt an overwhelming giddiness in me, and I tried to fight it. My eyes stayed glued to her.

Everything faded in those moments. My hands were itching to touch her, my lips were begging to kiss
her, and my entire system was out of control. No one existed. Nothing mattered. I looked at her and our
eyes met.

“Mate,” the words escaped my lips effortlessly, and she smiled and responded.

“Mate,” I did not hear her voice, but I read her lips, and she was coming for me.

I wanted to take her away from that place. There were colours around her, and the swirl of colours
blurred out the crowd, making me zero in on her. She was my focus, the centre of my attention.

Someone was trying to link me, I could feel it poking at the sides of my mind, but I was closed off. All I
wanted was Susan. All I needed was her, and Knight wanted to go for it.



“Sylvester,” I heard a faint fearful voice call out to me, but I did not care; it did not matter. I just wanted
Sussan.

“Mate,” Knight kept saying, and her scent filled my senses. I knew something was wrong, but I couldn’t
figure it out.

Susan walked towards us.

“Susan,” Knight said, howling in my head, and I knew I needed to take control.

He had dominated me completely with his animalistic side; I was fighting him. I did not know why I was
fighting him, but I knew it was wrong. Something felt utterly wrong about it.

I began to fight the scent because it was overpowering me.

The more I breathed her in, all the emotions I buried and tried to forget came back. Memories of us
filled my mind, and I wanted to return to those days when I had no care in the world, and we made
plans for the future, hoping we would be fated.

I fought and then remembered that she left and I was broken, and I tried to move on.

Tamia came to my mind. From the moment I lifted her chin and gazed into her eyes to the promises I
made her, our baby and her fears, I knew I had to push back.

As calming and soothing as the feeling was, I had to push back. Every fibre of my being wanted Susan,
Knight wanted Susan, and he fought me. I fought him with all my might. I could not do this to Tamia. I
dared not break her again.

Susan approached confidently, and I could see she was glad we were fated.



She spoke her mind confidently, already assuming the mate role, and I felt people were watching us,
but I was battling Knight at the same time. She spoke to me, and I felt Tamia get up.

I dared not let her leave like this. I did not have complete control, but I held her wrist to stop her from
leaving.

I knew it would be over if she walked away at that moment.

I went through the motions. I heard a loud noise. Someone had somehow taken the crowd’s attention
from us, but I could not look; I was enthralled by the bond. It was trying hard to snap in place, and I
fought it with all my might.

I fought Knight while I spoke to Susan. I noticed how she looked at Tamia, and it pissed me off. She
had no right, and I wasn’t going to give her the power to make that okay. Her disrespect towards Tamia
was what gave me the strength to reject her.

The pain cut through my chest as I felt something cut the bond’s connection.

The pain increased gradually, and I let Tamia lead me out of the hall.

I dared not show weakness, but felt the drain of strength and joy.

It was so strong that Knight began to howl and growl in agony.

All of the happiness left me. I felt empty and incomplete. It was a strange feeling, one I had never felt
before.

Tamia led me, and I followed her.

We got to the room, and she helped me to undress. I lay flat on the bed in complete agony and felt like
I would die. Knight went crazy.



I heard Tamia mumble something, but I could not pay attention. The pain was blinding, and my energy
was completely gone. I understood why people feared rejection. The pain was excruciatingly painful. I
groaned and groaned until everything went dark.

I woke up and saw that it was the early hours of the morning.

The pain was gone, but my body felt physically weak.

I had successfully weakened my wolf.

I looked beside me, and Tamia was sleeping.

I could only imagine what she went through in those moments in the ballroom.

I wanted to show her off and have fun with her, but instead, I had to deal with the mate bond and scare
her.

I felt a tear roll down my cheek from my deep sadness. I felt empty, and I felt a big void inside me. Was
this what Tamia felt when she rejected Devin? She sacrificed for me greatly.

She did not have to reject him; she could have run off with him, but she came home to me feeling the
way I was feeling now, and she kept the emptiness to herself. I had to respect and appreciate her love.
I brushed the feeling aside and went to the bathroom to shower.

“I am weak, Sylvester,” Knight growled in my head when I turned on the water.

“I couldn’t betray Tamia, Knight,” I told my wolf.

“I am glad you had the strength to reject Susan and Maya. I almost made us break Tamia and Kaira’s
hearts. I felt their pain, Sylvester, but I could not snap out of it. She will be mad, Kaira will be mad,”
Knight said, worried that he had messed up, and I sighed.



“I am sure they understand, Knight. I am sure they understand,” I said, and he groaned.

“I love Tamia and our pup,” My wolf said, and I chuckled a bit under the shower.

“You do not have to tell me, Knight, I know. Do not worry. I am sure Tamia would not think you betrayed
her, and I do not think she will punish us for your conduct,” I told my wolf, knowing exactly why he was
bothered.

I finished up I and went back to the room.

Tamia was up, and she was crying. I knew it was her hormones, but I also knew they were tears of
relief.

I went to her, and she wrapped her arms around me.

“Shhhh, it’s okay. I am here,” I said, knowing she might have had a bad dream. What happened with
Susan must have triggered something, and I felt terrible.

“You left me for her. I was dreaming about it, and then I woke up, and you weren’t beside me, and I
panicked,” She said, and I held on tightly to her.

“That phase is over, Tamia; we belong to each other. You are mine, and I am yours. No more surprises
or fear. We are done with them. I am glad that it is over. You no longer have to worry. All we should do
now is enjoy the game and plan our wedding. I know you do not want something grand, but with all that
has happened, I want to celebrate it.” I said and looked into her green eyes as I once did before.

There was something different about her eyes. I couldn’t place it because it looked the same, but it
reached into my soul, and I felt a bond snap into place between us. It was faint, but it was there. I felt
the emptiness I was feeling in the bathroom fade away, and I felt renewed. I did not know what it was,
but it gave me hope that we would get through this.
