Chapter 83

~Tamia~

The pink crescent moon on my thigh gave me so much joy. I felt intense pleasure while Sylvester sank
his teeth into my skin. I felt a strong pull and a bond forming.

It was similar to a thick cord that I could almost tug. I felt lighter.

Having been claimed before, this was different. The euphoria was more enjoyable.

I looked at it, and Sylvester ran his finger along the skin, making me moan because of the tingles. He
looked at me and smiled.

“Should we go all the way?” He asked me the very question I wanted to ask him.

I was about to say yes when I thought of our friends.

We tried to do everything together.

Avery already felt unfortunate because she was the only one that wasn’t pregnant, and I remembered
how I felt when Linda got pregnant. It would be wrong and insensitive to wear each other’s marks
before them.

“I know what you are thinking, darling,” Sylvester said, pulling me close.

“You do not want to hurt them. I understand. We can wait. The blue moon is roughly six weeks away.
After the tournament, we would just have two weeks to prepare and then that is it,” He said and kissed
me sweetly on my lips. I moaned, feeling his need for me.

“I doubt I would be able to control Knight, Tamia. He wants to claim you and Kaira badly, and now that
we have done it partially, his need for you to wear our mark and us yours would grow. I hope you will be



able to handle my love bites,” He said, kissing my neck and grazing his teeth against the skin.

I was too much in need that all I could give was an inaudible moan saying

“Yes”.

We cuddled in each other arms after. It was two in the morning. Glad we had no matches to play, we
decided we would arrive at the sports arena late.

Sylvester’s meeting with Leo was late in the afternoon. I wondered what Leo would want to discuss
with Sylvester. I honestly wished I could be there. I would have to wait for Sylvester to tell me about the
meeting.

Sylvester stroked my hair and my skin until I finally fell asleep.

I woke up in the morning with an intense need for pleasure. I did not know if it was the partial claim or
my hormones, but the need was there.

Sylvester wasn’t in the room, and I didn’t bother to link him.

I went to freshen up and get ready for the day.

When I exited the bathroom, someone knocked on my door, and I went to answer to see who it was. To
my surprise, it was Avery, and she was crying.

I gently let her into my room. Before closing my door, I looked around to see if anyone was in the
passage.

I picked up a box of tissues and handed it to her. She thanked me and used it to wipe away her tears
and blow her nose.

“What is the matter with you?” I asked her gently, and she looked at me with fresh tears.



“Oh, Tamia. I am sad,” She complained.

“I was hoping we would get to do everything together. You know,” She said and looked at my tummy,
which was still flat, but I got the message.

“Linda is showing; she is four months gone; you are almost three months but look at me. I was hoping
our children would be age mates. Maybe not the same month but the same year. So they will be close
and tight like Marcel, Theo and Sylvester, but I still have nothing,” She said and bowed.

“I have done everything. I have changed my diet; I even secretly tried fertility pills. I tried staying in bed
after we made love; sometimes, I would hold my legs up so everything stays in there and gets to the
right destination. We made love throughout my ovulation period last month, and I have been checking. I
use the strip every day, and it is always negative. I don’t know what to do, Tamia. It is hard for me.
Nowadays, I get cranky and furious when Linda rubs her bump. Marcel says it is okay, but I want to
have children, Tamia,” She said and started crying. I went to console her.

“Why is it bothering you so much? The doctor said there was nothing wrong with you. Did it ever occur
to you that it is taking time because you are stressing about it too much?” I asked her, and she shook
her head, wiping away the tears still flowing.

“Why are you not confident this will happen for you, Avery?” I asked her, and she could not respond. So
I touched her hand.

“It is okay to be impatient about something you want so much. But it isn’t okay to work yourself into
depression for it. Marcel loves you. He doesn’t care about this; he is only trying because you want it
now.” I said and sighed, then chose to tell her a secret.

“Honestly, when we found out Linda was pregnant, I was jealous, I wished it was my news to give and
not just hers, and I know you are feeling that way too, but just like it happened for me, it will happen for
you too. I was pregnant without knowing.” I said and sighed.



“Enjoy your time with Marcel. He is nothing like Max and will never be. You mean the world to him, and
that means a lot. You are his centre. Children, for him, are an addition to the bond you already have.
Do not put a strain on your love because of this. I know it will happen, but you have to enjoy every
moment. Make love to your man because you want to share with him, love him, give him your all and
be one with him, Not because you want a baby. Enjoy your time, and the reward will come.” I said, and
she wiped away her tears.

“Do you think I am stressing him out?” She said out of worry, and I shrugged.

“He might never say it, and I might be wrong, but everything you want and need matters to him. See
what he did to Max on the field. He will do anything for you. Do not let this destroy your love,” I said,
and she hugged me and cried.

“I don’t want to stress him out, Tamia. I love him so much that I want to have his babies. I want to have
little me and him running about the place. That is why I want this so much.” She said, and I understood
her need.

She wanted the baby so much because, to her, that was the outlet that could express the strength of
her love for him, evidence of their love, a reminder that they are united. I could understand her, but she
needed to relax.

“Come on; we need to eat. ” I said, and she looked at my tummy and giggled.

“You mean you need to eat,” She said with an emphasis on you, and I squinted and smiled.

“What’s with Glenda, by the way?” She said, and her mood was lifted.

“What do you mean?” I asked her, getting my clothes for the day. I opted to dress in front of her while
we gossiped.



“I mean, she has been around Dominic like glue. She has been so nice. I don’t get it.” She said, and I
laughed.

“Haven’t you seen Katya?” I asked, and she widened her eyes with realisation.

“Oh, I get it now; oh my. Katya is gorgeous; she doesn’t stand a chance,” Avery laughed.

It was good to see her mood switch so quickly. She might be pregnant without knowing because of the
hormonal display she gave me.

“You need to see her, Tamia. She is practically glued to him. She served him breakfast and whatnot.
She hasn’t said anything to aggravate anyone. I see she is on her toes,” Avery said, laughing heartily.

Glenda’s pain would be a pleasure, especially for me, because she was the one that encouraged
Susan to come and get my man knowing that he wasn’t available.

“Stephanie is shoving Katya in there; you know she invited her to stay at the duplex during breakfast,”
Avery said, and I widened my eyes. I missed a lot by not eating breakfast with everyone.

“Yep, it was hilarious because Dominic told Katya during breakfast that they would love to have her
around. He even smiled at her,” She said, and I laughed. By then, I had finished dressing up, so we
headed out.

Since they had already had breakfast without me, I decided to eat.

I wondered where Sylvester was, and I decided to link him.

“Where are you? I woke up alone,” I complained.

“Sorry darling, I had to attend an emergency meeting via a conference call in the home office,” He
responded.



“Is everything alright?” I asked him, and he was silent.

“I am afraid not, but I am trying to put it under control.” He said, and I became nervous.

“May I join you in the office?” I asked, and he was silent a bit.

“I am almost done. Marcel and Theo are here. I promise I will tell you everything before we leave for
the games,” he said, and I became worried.

I did not know what was going on, but it seemed serious. I could feel it.

I decided to eat in the kitchen.

Linda and Katya joined Avery and me, and I was happy to see Linda glowing.

“I hear you will be staying with us,” I told Katya, trying to get my mind off what Sylvester had just said. I
needed to take the advice I had given to Avery and not worry. Whatever the matter was, it must be
serious.

“Yes, Lady Stephanie asked me to stay and keep her company,” Katya said, and Linda laughed.

“Her or Dominic?” Linda asked, and we all laughed. Katya’s cheeks coloured, and I realised she might
like him.

“I mean, he is hot,” she whispered, and we laughed.

“Do not let fang lady hear you say that,” Avery said, referring to Glenda. Katya rolled her eyes,
disgusted by Glenda.

“She just won’t leave him alone for a second. She is with him all the time…” She said, and I smiled.



“He isn’t a baby, Katya. He has to rescue himself from her. If he likes you, he will be the one to make a
move,” I said, and she frowned.

“But you three did not wait…” She said, and I laughed.

“Oh, we did. Avery and Marcel clicked first, but Marcel was the one that went to her, then Sylvester and
me; I mean, I could not resist. Then Linda, whom Theo practically persuaded. The only difference was
that they weren’t attached then,” I said, and Katya nodded as if she had learned something new.

“Do not copy us, darling; follow your heart; some men require that push. Dominic might fall under that
category,” Avery told her. I wasn’t surprised that she would give her an impatient idea. She had always
been the least patient of us three.

Just then, Glenda strolls in with a glass of water in hand. She greeted us respectfully, except for Katya,
and we knew it was on.

The moment she left, we laughed. Honestly, if Glenda had to do so much to keep Dominic from Katya,
she would have lost the battle because she shouldn’t have to do anything to keep her man. I could
have beautiful women in the same room as Sylvester and me, and I won’t be bothered because I know
he loves me and only sees me and no one else.

We talked about other stuff, and it was noon.

“Where are you?” I heard Sylvester’s voice in my head, and I was alert.

“In the kitchen with the ladies,” I replied.

“Meet me in my office,” He said, and I closed the communication between us.

I excused myself and went to his office.



I entered, and Sylvester looked troubled. He came towards me and crashed his lips on mine, kissing
me as if I was the air he needed to breathe.

I could feel his anxiety and his need. Something was bothering him. Whatever it was, it was serious,
and he was trying to calm down.

He kissed my neck, but I doubted he wanted foreplay.

I felt the anxiety, too; there was no need to be a gentleman about it. I would always want him anywhere
at any time.

Turning me against the wall, he reached under my skirt and rolled down my panties. Holding my hand
above my head against the wall, he rammed into me and pumped gently.

Knight was distraught.

“Hard and rough,” I moaned, and he increased his speed, needing that release that would relieve his
anxiety. His mood wasn’t great, but I enjoyed it too much to say anything. He moved me from the wall
to his desk and bent me over it, ramming hard and fast. He wasn’t gentle anymore, and I was enjoying
it because he was hitting the right spot. He was consistent, and I came. I came hard and fiercely, and
he followed, emptying himself in me. Then he pulled out gently and kissed me. His eyes were misty,
and I did not know what to do.

“Sylvester, what is the matter?” I asked him, feeling satisfied.

“I didn’t want a war,” he said, and a tear escaped and rolled down his cheek. I held his face and let him
place his forehead against mine.

“Breathe,” I told him.

“Breathe and relax,” I said, and he closed his eyes and did as I had told him to.



He moved away from me and sat on the couch in the office.

“The council called, and half of the north do not want me as their lord anymore. They still want the
council, but they do not want to have a lord. They have sent a petition,” He said and bowed his head.

“I have two options, Tamia. Either be an evil bastard like my father and force them to remain under me
via war, or hear them out and lose the battle because I know this is some people’s doing. I need to find
the traitors before this gets out of hand. Someone is actively working against me and the system,” He
said, and I understood his dilemma.

“How long do we have?” I asked him.

“Eight months before the hearing, but we both know that is too small of a time.” He said, and I nodded.

“I need a book of the northern Laws and constitutions. There should be something in there that could
help us cancel this nonsense while searching for the culprit. With Avery and Linda’s help, I will read it
faster. I am sure we can keep their hand. These people are manipulating the laws for their sake. It is
time we start doing so, too,” I said, and he looked at me.
