31 Confessions.


    ~Sylvester~


    Hearing what Larry had to say made me know Dominic had a hand in this. Intercepting Avery''s


    letters were wrong.


    The fact remained that the women were no longer prisoners, but our mates.


    It was wrong to treat them like this. I did not care what the rules said.


    If I do not protect them, the council will destroy them.


    "Your Eminence, we havews. A mated wolf cannot be luna," Larry said, and Iughed.


    "Do I look like someone that goes by the rules?" I asked Larry, who seemed a bit scared.


    "I do not care. Tamia will be my Luna by the blue moon. Avery is marrying Beta Marcel too, so it


    would be wise to stop trying to pin shit on them and disgracing them simply because you think you


    can." I said sternly.


    "I will object, sire. Only northerners can rule the north." Larry said, and Iughed.


    "Like I said, the council isn''t above me. The council is here to help the lord deal with matters so he


    can focus on other things. I have stated what will happen. You all should ept it. The women


    belong to my pack now, and I have chosen who will rule beside me. Let this be thest time this


    council will send Dominic to my home and humiliate the people living in it in the name of


    investigation. I allowed this hearing simply because I wanted to know the council''s intent, but it is


    obvious this council is not interested in finding who the true culprit is. This council is only interested


    in solidifying the enmity between the north, south and east. I refuse to go after Bane or Leonardo


    Albert on this matter. One thing I know is Elder Jenny wasn''t important to the east or south, and I


    doubt those soldiers truly went to get Tamia from my mother''s house. I also want to know who


    intercepted Avery''s letters without my knowledge. Acting discreetly without informing me can be


    seen as an act of nned mutiny. I want to know who did it and why." I said and signalled that


    Tamia and her friend return to my Loge.


    "It was I," Dominic said, standing up.


    One thing I knew was that Dominic was too dumb to do something like this. He must have had help


    from someone or gotten the Idea from someone.


    "Really?


    "I asked my brother, and he nodded.


    "I may not be Lord, but I have the right to protect my province and people. If I notice that you are


    losing focus, it is my duty to make sure the system is running as it should," he said, and I smiled.


    "And who appointed you as my second inmand? Who gave you the right to describe me in


    such a manner?" I asked him, and he was silent.


    "Dominic, you are my only sibling, and I love you very much. But you will stand trial for treason the


    next time you act without my consent." I said, and there were murmurs in the hall. Tamia sat down


    on the chair beside me.


    "I want real suspects with motives within two months. I want to know why anyone would want to kill


    Elder Jenny. Let this be thest time any of you will try to pin this on my mate again simply because


    she used to be married to the Alpha of the east." I said withmand, and they were afraid.


    I rarely used my alphamand because I felt I was bullying people, but they left me no choice. I


    was tired of their bullshit, and I knew that if I did not force them to ept, others thinking like Larry


    would have something to say.


    We discussed other matters that did not need my presence, and soon I decided to leave. Just then,


    Vino came to see me.


    He was a young man about my age. His family has headed the council since its inception.


    His father died several months ago, so he had to take over as the first son of the Lawrence family.


    He had been trying to be my friend for a while, but I couldn''t rte.


    Being the head of the council, I knew it was wise to keep him close, but I doubted we had anything


    inmon.


    With what had happened now, I believed it was best to keep him close because of vicious people


    like Larry.


    Larry had supported my brother when my name was put forward for ascension.


    He would have seeded in instating my brother as Lord if it weren''t for the fact that Dominic was


    not an Alpha andcked the strength of a true lord.


    "Hello, Vino," I said with a smile, and he bowed to greet Tamia, giving her the respect I had


    requested of them.


    "Congrattions on your engagement. I wish you two a happy and blissful married life together." He


    said, and I thanked him.


    "Tamia, meet Vino Lawrence, the head of the council," I said so she would not feel left out.


    She was going to be luna soon, so it was important she got acquainted with everyone important in


    the government of the north.


    "Nice to meet you, Vino," Tamia said, and I felt her voice was too lovely and seductive that I


    coughed, which made herugh. I couldn''t help my jealousy; it was just how I was wired.


    "I am having a dinner party at my mansion in Woodcreek next week; I would like you and Lady


    Tamia to grace us with your presence. Beta Marcel and Gamma Theodore are wee too. They


    cane with their dates, too," he said, pleading with his eyes.


    The guy had been trying so hard to be friends that I felt it would be cruel to say no, so I nodded.


    "I am sure my Luna and I will make the time to show up at your party," I said, and he smiled and


    nodded.


    "Thank you so much, your eminence. It is an honour," he said, and I smiled and nodded.


    He walked away happy, and Tamia nudged me.


    "You have a fan," she teased me, and I looped her hand in mine.


    We left the ce and returned to the Volkov Estate.


    My mother was going to move in the next day, so Tamia took it upon herself to ensure my mother


    and brother''s rooms were ready. She also allocated staff to them.


    It came to her naturally; I knew it was because she had been Luna since she was neen. After


    running the east for five years, it came to her quickly; her former Luna friends also chipped in, so


    she wasn''t overwhelmed.


    Sometime in the evening, Tamia walked into my office, a bit exhausted.


    "Hectic day?" I asked her, and she smiled and sprawled on the couch in my office.


    I left the desk and went to sit on the couch. I asked her to lie down so I could massage her feet.


    I knew she stood throughout the process, so I believed her feet would be killing her.


    It was nice doing this for her. As I massaged her feet, she moaned with approval.


    "Yes, right there," She said, rxing in the chair. The sound of her approval wanted me to do other


    things to her. I continued to work on her feet.


    "So, is that how they argue with you at the council?" She asked, moaning in between.


    "Larry and Dominic, yes. Vino wants to be my friend, and the others are too scared to voice their


    minds," I said, and sheughed.


    "With the way you used yourmand, they are bound to be afraid of you, Sylvester. You are too


    damn scary," She said, and I tickled her feet, making her giggle.


    I picked the other foot and worked on it.


    "You know they used to tell us scary things about you when you seeded your father," She said,


    eyes closed, half asleep.


    "They told us you were a monster and a savage. Sometimes women told their children scary stories


    about the Dark Alpha of the north. They said you drink wine with skulls and so on, and people


    dreaded you. When news travelled that Bane defeated your army, there was a tinge of hope that


    you might bleed like the rest of us," She said and chuckled.

    "If only they knew it was Dominic they defeated and not you," Sheughed, proud of me.


    "Then you conquered what was left of the west, and people got worried that you wereing to the


    east too." She said and stopped smiling.


    "The day of the meeting, I warned them not to aggravate you. I warned them not to team up with the


    south against you because, based on the stories I heard, I figured you only act when provoked, but


    they did not listen," she said and looked at me with sleepy eyes.


    "Never did I imagine that you would be a loving man. A man that would make my heart beat in ways


    that I can only imagine. A man that would see my soul and capture it, one that would heal my


    wounds and dry my tears. A man that would bring back the fire that heartbreak and betrayal put out.


    A man that would give me a reason to try again. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined


    you would mean so much to me and I would be in your arms. Never, Sylvester; but here I am,


    yours, body and soul," She said, looking at me with misty eyes.


    I thought I was the only one who loved deeply, Tamia did too, and I did not need to question how


    deep her love for me was. It was deep enough to want to spend the rest of our lives together.


    "I love you, Sylvester. With my heart, body and soul. Today you did for me something I did not


    expect. You stood up for our love. I will never forget how you damned the council and honoured me


    as your luna. Even though they tried to make me seem worthless, you added value and dignity to


    me. I won''t forget how deep and true your love is, Sylvester. I will keep what happened today with


    the council in my heart and always forgive your shorings. Love can not be given as much as


    you have given yours in humility andplete honesty," She said, and my heart began to beat fast.


    I thought what I had with Susan was deep and genuine, but now I know it was a joke.


    Looking at Tamia pouring her heart out while I massaged her feet made me know I had made the


    right decision, and somehow everything that went wrong in our lives had brought us together for this


    specific purpose so we, too, could experience true love in its purest form.


    I could only kiss her feet and promise never to hurt her. It was time to burn Susan''s letter.
