64 Getting to The Duplex


    ~Tamia~


    I was giddy about spending time at the duplex but worried about Sylvester''s mood.


    It was clear we had opened a can of worms, and I doubted we would get all the answers we


    wanted.


    We arrived at the building and were greeted by a smiling staff.


    They had a lot of respect and admiration for their Lord. The staff orded the same respect to me,


    making me realise who I was now.


    I was no longer an eastern Luna but would soon be The Lady Of The North. Something most


    women could only dream of.


    I was d that Sylvester wasn''t a shitty man like his father. Stephanie did a great job raising him,


    and I had tomend her for it. I wondered what went wrong with Dominic, but I guess time would


    tell.


    "Do you want to shower? Because of the dust at Jenny''s," Sylvester said to me the moment we


    entered the house, and I could sense he had other things in mind, so I nodded, and he led me up


    the stairs to the master bedroom.


    "What about dinner?" I said, and he smiled at me.


    "Once we clean up, we would head down to eat. I promise." He said.


    The room was beautiful. It had a contemporary designpared to the old victorian of the estate.


    Sylvester hugged me from the back and kissed my neck, making me moan.


    Kaira purred in my head, and I knew it was on.


    I doubt we would get tired of each other, but I knew Sylvester was on edge and needed to calm


    down. He was finding his centre, and I was more than willing to help him find it.


    He unbuttoned my blouse, still standing behind me. Then he opened my blouse and cupped my


    breasts with his hands, squeezing gently and brushing his thumbs against my hard nipples through


    the fabric of my bra.


    I moaned softly.


    "Music, your moan is music to my ears," he whispered, nibbling my earlobe gently. Sylvester was a


    master, and I couldn''t get enough of his skills.


    I closed my eyes to enjoy what he was doing as I felt the wetness between my legs.


    My shirt came off, and then my bra. He took them off while standing behind me.


    He opened the fly of my jeans, rolled it down, and I took it off. I had nothing but my panties on, and I


    was wet between my legs.


    "Time to shower," He said, and I could not believe we were stopping there.


    He led me into the bathroom. I entered the shower, and he pinned me against the wall facing me


    and staring intensely into my eyes.


    "This is a lifetime journey, Green eyes," He said with conviction, and I nodded, not knowing how to


    respond to his statement.


    He crashed his lips on mine and kissed me hungrily, then broke the kiss and stared at me.


    He lifted my hand and ced it on his chest to feel his heartbeat. I looked at him, speechless.


    "I will only stop loving you when it stops beating," he said, and the words hit so hard that I squeezed


    my hand a bit, digging my nails into his flesh. I looked down, averting my gaze from his, fighting my


    tears. Then his hands touched my chin and lifted my face so that I could see him.


    "I will be your family, your love, and your support. I will never betray you, Tamia. I will never leave


    you. I will never use you, and I will never hurt you. I will always choose you, no matter what. You


    own my heart, and you own me, and it will always be like this. No matter how hard it gets, no matter


    how difficult it gets, I will remain by your side. You will be my pride, and I will wear your love proudly.


    Your sacrifice won''t be in vain. I will give more than what the fated bond provides; I will love you


    endlessly," he said with misty eyes, and my tears fell from the corner of my eyes. They fell freely.


    There was deep relief in my chest that made me realise that I was worried about something.


    "I know my father was a bastard, and he hurt my mother and the women in his life in irreparable


    ways. But I am nothing like him. I am not a dark alpha, and I refuse to be. Please do not let what we


    discover about my family and father make you afraid. I am nothing like him," He said, and I ced


    my head against his chest and let my tears fall freely.


    "I know, my love. I know," I assured him, and he hugged me. Holding me close. I felt him turn on the


    faucet, and the water washed our skins.


    I took off his shirt, and he took off his trousers and shorts and helped with my panties, leaving both


    of us naked under the shower.


    The water washed away our fears and uncertainties.


    He kissed and hoisted me up, burying himself deep inside.


    He pumped gently, and I knew it was beyond the physical for me.


    He was joining his soul to mine, owning and uniting with me. I held on and let him take me ces.


    We both came shattering on each other and loving it.


    Wepleted the shower and exited the bathroom.


    There were joggers in the wardrobe, so I opted to pair them with a white t-shirt. He wore the same,


    and we headed downstairs for dinner.


    The amazing thing was that we all arrived in the dining room at the same time, with wet hair and in


    joggers. I wondered if the men nned this, but it didn''t matter.


    We sat at the table and served the food to eat.


    "It was disturbing what we found back there," Linda began, and everyone agreed.


    "Did you see the bondage pictures? Jenny and her Lord were into some kinky shit," Avery said, and


    we allughed. I was d our men did not take offence.


    "No joke, but she wore the Mistress title with a capital M," Linda said, and weughed.


    "Honestly, it is sad," Avery said, and we were silent.


    "I want to know how your mother could stand that woman," I asked Sylvester, and he shrugged.


    "Honestly, if I were in her shoes, I would have found a way to make her disappear," Linda said, and


    we allughed.

    "You do not know how often I wanted to make Reba disappear. Kyle wasn''t worth it. If he were, I


    would havemitted a crime," She added, and Sylvesterughed.


    "Honestly, my father wasn''t worth the trouble. Trust me. With all I found, my mother could have as


    well driven a de into his heart, and no one would fault her. He was shitty like that," Sylvester said,


    and I ced my hand on his thigh to rub gently.


    "There are a lot of things we need to figure out quickly," I said.


    "It is clear Jenny was the target, but why did they kill her in this house and not hers?" I asked, and


    Linda raised her hand as if we were in the ssroom.


    "Did you see her windows and the silver on her doors? They had to get her where she was less


    protected." Linda said, and we allughed. Although I agreed with Linda''s deduction, it did not make


    sense.


    "It doesn''t still make sense. This is the Wolf Lord''s house. Stephanie is the Wolf lord''s mother and


    lady of the north. There would be guards here; they were supposed to guard her. The main reason


    for bringing her here to live was to hide her and protect her from Devin and other enemies. It means


    this ce was heavily guarded. Why would they attack and kill her in a heavily guarded ce?" I


    asked, and as I asked the question, a scary truth dawned on me, one I dared not speak. I was silent


    immediately.


    "I guess we will have to read her journal to understand her mind, and we can figure it out from


    there," Avery said, and everyone agreed, but I could not speak a word because the thought that


    loomed in my mind was the most likely answer, but I had to discuss it with Sylvester in private just in


    case I am wrong. I did not want to say anything that would hurt the investigation and people''s


    reputations.


    "One of the letters read that she gave my half-brother money. I wonder why she would go out of her


    way and give him money, then scare him to not show up in Lund by telling him I am looking for


    him when I did not even know of his existence," Sylvester said, and he had a valid point.


    "Your mother did ask her to help overturn your father''s ns. Maybe that was part of it." Marcel


    said, and Sylvester shook his head.


    "I had ascended as Lord by then. It can''t be because of that. I suspect it has to do with something


    else," He said, and I was equally confused about that part.


    "What about her child? Did it die at birth? I wouldn''t put it past our fathers to do that just to hide their


    secrets. Mind you; people would know that she was unfaithful to her husband, which would have


    been detrimental to the Lord''s reputation. The fact that our fathers shared her meant the baby could


    have belonged to any of them. What if they killed that baby? It will be understandable why she lived


    a solitary life and was always sad all the time. She dared not speak of it because it would reflect on


    her character. If the world knew of her affair, she would lose the right to represent the Babanins on


    the council, which would make her irrelevant, and I doubt your father loved her enough to make her


    luna. He couldn''t even if he wanted to. The Belyaev bloodline is premiumpared to her


    Lawrence arse. She would always y second fiddle, and I think she knew it," Marcel said, and we


    were silent because what he said was true. He had hit the nail on the head.


    "We need to study her journals together starting tomorrow," Sylvester said with strong


    determination, and I squeezed his thigh.


    I nned on telling him my thoughts when we retired to the bedroom.


    I hoped it wasn''t what I thought, but that was the only usible exnation for what happened.


    "I think we will still need tob through that building," Theodore said, and I knew he was right


    because we were not expecting to find all we found there. There was a possibility that there were


    things there.


    "For someone that keeps records for the council, it is amazing that she doesn''t have aputer


    yet. All the letters were photocopied," Linda said, bringing something vital to our attention.


    "I thought that too. It was quite odd. I know she is old school and all, but it was quite odd that there


    was nothing on her desk. Do you think someone might have stolen theputer if she had one?"


    Avery asked, and we all looked at ourselves because she had given a valid point.


    There was a lot of shadiness and bad blood around her. She might have something on it that they


    want to protect from getting out. We needed to find out.


    "If she had aputer, I doubt it was in that office. Didn''t you see the number of locks on the door


    and windows?" Theodore said, and Sylvester shook his head.


    "The culprit might have stolen it before the murder. The office and passage were locked after the


    murder," Sylvester said, making a very valid point, and it was usible.


    "There is a lot to uncover. I suggest we stay another day here and go through the documents we


    have taken. Afterwards, we should copy them onto a system by having a Kappa scan them into a


    computer." I said, and everyone agreed.


    We finished up and decided to retire to our bedroom.


    As soon as Sylvester and I entered the room, I decided to tell him what I was thinking about Jenny''s


    murder. I just prayed he would not take offence.
