153 Before The BlueMoon


    ~Tamia~


    The two days'' rest was much needed. Within those two days, the test results finally came through,


    and indeed Vino was a Volkov.


    Sylvester felt terrible about it because he could understand how Vino might have grown up; knowing


    his father never wanted him must have messed with his self-esteem and self-worth.


    He was mad at Jenny for taking advantage of her son like she did and at Larry for ruining Vino''s life.


    Amanda was no good, and she would have killed Vino had they not intercepted her.


    We were d the ordeal was over, but things still needed to be done. Realising Vino had it worse


    than David changed Sylvester''s perspective and softened his heart towards the guy. We nned to


    address the matter after the wedding.


    We used the remaining time to prepare. Stephanie, Katya and Nicole had done everything, so


    nothing seemed rushed.


    A day before the wedding, Sylvester, Theodore, Marcel and Dominic moved to another wing. We


    would not see each other until during the ceremony.


    All the brides gathered in my room, and we were excited about the event. I could not believe it was


    finally upon us.


    While we discussed the events, I excused myself and went to stand by the window.


    I stared at the garden at night, and it was beautiful. That was where we would have the wolf


    iming will take ce. Though it was unnecessary because it could be done privately, it was


    compulsory for alphas.


    I had a tinge of worry inside me. I was scared because I had been there before. I had loved and


    given myself to another, only to be betrayed. My heart was sure, but the scar remained even though


    I had healed from Leo''s betrayal. I hoped it would fade away.


    "We have nothing to fear, Tamia," Kaira told me, understanding my fear. I could survive Leo''s


    betrayal but knew I would not survive if Sylvester betrayed me. I did not need to deceive myself; I


    just knew it.


    "He loves us, and Knight does too. He has proven it countless times, Tamia. I have faith in what we


    have, and you should too," Kaira said, and I felt warmth radiate through me.

    "He is our true love, Tamia, our true purpose, the one. Leo was a phase we had to go through to


    prepare us for this. Now we know what love is. Do not be afraid of the blue moon. We promised


    ourselves to another once under it. Now we will promise ourselves to our fated under it. It is a gift,


    one we should cherish. So please, let go of your fear because we have nothing to worry about


    where Sylvester and Knight are concerned," Kaira said, and I chuckled a bit and looked at the


    women.


    They were having fun. Excited and happy. Who would have thought we would find love, joy,


    happiness and peace again?


    Each of them had been bruised and broken by love. They were hurt so much that they stopped


    believing in it. When their mates gave them up as tributes, it was to send them into bondage; little


    did they know it would be their freedom. It would be the beginning of their ever after.


    I looked at Avery; although Max could neverpletely kill her light, he did break her in other ways.


    I could see that now because her smiles and eyes were brighter.


    Linda wasn''t a pessimist anymore. It worked out for the three of us. I turned towards the window


    and looked at the moon. It had a tint of blue, but it wasn''t fully there yet. I looked at it and thanked


    the goddess for this gift. Indeed she had favoured us. We weren''t the first Lunas captured and


    brought to the north. We were the first women our men would be with, but somehow fate made it


    work.


    "Tamia, join us," Avery called out, and they wereughing about something. I hurried to join them,


    abandoning all my cares and casting my worries away.


    "I can''t believe it is finally here," Avery said, squeezing my hand. She had tears in her eyes, and I


    could understand her feelings.


    "As much as I want to be happy about this, I will only be participating in the wedding; Theo and I will


    have to do the public wolf iming ceremony next year," Linda said, frowning, and I smiled at her.


    I would have missed the iming, too, had it been next month. I wasn''t as big as Linda, and my


    bump was still small, so the iming ceremony would be possible. As insignificant as it was, it was


    to show the world we were mated and that everyone interested should back off. It was a show of


    ownership, possession and affection to one another.


    "That shouldn''t get to you, Linda. The wolf iming is just a ceremony to show you two are mated.


    The actual im will be made in the bedroom, and you do not need to shift," Avery said, and she


    was telling the truth. The wolf iming was just a ceremony. Only alphas partook in the ceremony. It


    wouldn''t have been necessary if Theodore wasn''t an alpha; it would just be the wedding and a hot


    night.


    Linda smiled, knowing we were telling the truth, but I knew she was unhappy because she wanted


    us to do it together.


    "It will be you and me, Linda," Katya said, and she was right because Dominic wasn''t an Alpha.


    Linda smiled and touched her hand.


    We spent the rest of the night happy.


    Morning came, and Stephanie barged into my room. She did not even bother to knock. I woke up,


    completely shocked. She went to the widow and pulled the blinds apart. The rays from the sun


    stung my eyes, and I groaned and squinted.


    "Get up," Stephanie said, and I heard Avery grumbling.


    "Your wedding is tonight. We have a lot to do. Getting four brides ready is difficult, so I will


    appreciate you all waking up and following me," shemanded us, and I groaned.


    "Let me freshen up," I grumbled, and she shook her head.


    "No, you will be going to the bathing pool. They are beauticians there to attend to the four of you.


    After that, we will move to the room downstairs where you will be dressed for the wedding. It might


    seem like we have a lot of time, but time flies," she said, pping her hands.


    I managed to drag myself off the bed and went to wear my robe over my night dress.


    "Where is Sylvester?" I asked, already missing him, and she chuckled.


    "You will see him at the wedding," She said, touching my upper arm. I looked at her, and she had a


    broad smile.


    "I have waited so long for this day, Tamia. Let us make it memorable," She said, and by then, all of


    us were awake and alert.


    We left the room and headed toward the bathing pool.


    It was the same ce we were taken to after Sylvester had drafted us on our arrival to the north.


    That day remained burned when I stared into his eyes, defiantly daring him to do what he wanted.


    Thinking about it, I giggled because it gave me butterflies. I touched my tiny bump and smiled. He


    did do what he wanted, and I weed it.
