The Dark Side of Fate

22 Bane’s Intent

~Tamia-

There was a long line at the entrance, but we were ushered in, skipping the queue.

I noticed some people started complaining, but when they realised who we were, they

were quiet and very respectful.

We were ushered to the VIP.

The VIP was upstairs and had a dedicated

bar.

The sofas were comfortable, and it wasn’t

crowded.

We had a table and also a great view of the rest of the club on the ground floor.

A DJ was on the stage, and people were getting wild.

There were poles available for people to dance with, and the light was colourful and

dim.

I loved the electronic dance music they were

playing.

Leo never let me have this kind of fun.

Instead, we attended serious functions and

white-collar parties, nothing wild and

carefree like this. I liked this.

Sylvester ordered champagne; they brought it with sparklers, which was beautiful.

“Do you want to dance?” Sylvester asked.

“Later, we just got here,” I said, and he

nodded.

He ran his finger up my upper arms gently and kissed my shoulder. A moan escaped my lips, and I

leaned against him.

He placed his hand around my waist, and we watched the people on the ground floor. Some girls were

dancing at the poles, and they were good too.

Avery and Marcel were the first to hit the

dancefloor.

Soon, I decided to dance, leaving Linda and Theodore behind.

I hoped she eventually lets up. I knew it was

because of fear.

The music was upbeat, and Sylvester and I

were in our world on the floor.

He wasn’t the Wolf lord; he was simply Sylvester, my boyfriend and I was his naughty girl. 1

When we got tired, we returned to our seats

and found that Linda and Theodore were on

the floor too. She loosened up a bit, and

Theodore took liberties with her.

Sylvester moved close to me and leaned

close to my ear.

“Are you having fun?” he asked, and I turned to look at him. 1

“Yes,” I said, and he smiled.

“I will try and bring you out more often,” He said, and I nodded.

I felt slightly pressed, so I stood up to use

the toilet.

I rushed to the toilet and stood in the mirror

to fix my make-up.

I was about to close my purse and leave

when a red-haired woman walked in.

She was wearing a short white lacy dress. She had hazel eyes and full plump lips.

She fixed herself in the mirror and looked at

“You are in the new batch?” She asked me,

and I frowned at her.

“I beg your pardon?” I asked, and she

turned to face me.

“You came with the wolf Lord. I noticed you might be one of the eastern Lunas they brought here,” she

said, and I was silent.

“I do not know you or this Susan Sullivan, and I do not care. The fact that you took the trouble to accost

me in the ladies says

whatever I have with Sylvester is solid.

Waste your breath elsewhere,” I said and closed my purse. 1

“Excuse me,” I said, leaving her dumbfounded.

The woman was probably jealous that I had landed the big one. Well, boohoo. 2

I got to the seat and saw Sylvester in a heated argument with a man. They looked a bit alike, but the

guy was older than Sylvester, and he did not wear his hair long. I figured he might be Dominic Volkov,

Sylvester’s brother.

I did not know if approaching them was safe, so I stood still.

“You should be ashamed of yourself. Fooling around with eastern whores. They are supposed to be

your prisoners. You are

6/15.

supposed to learn about the east and

conquer them. Why are you killing father’s dream? The four regions should serve our bloodline. That

was how things were before the democracy nonsense. Father was working towards it, which was why

he kept prisoners. I have nothing against you fucking them, but this is going a bit too far,” The man

said, and I hid so I could listen to them.

“Mother is highly disappointed in you,

Sylvester. You do not visit her, but you can bring women to the club and fool around. How

irresponsible,” Dominic said, and Sylvester was controlling his anger.

“I will have you dethroned. You are too stupid to rule. I watched you for thirty minutes acting a fool on

the floor with your whore,” He said, and Sylvester grabbed him by the collar. People moved away

immediately.

“Don’t you ever call her that again,” He said through gritted teeth, and his brother

laughed.

“You have lost your senses. What happened to finding Susan and bringing her back to be Luna, like

Mother and father expected? Instead, you are fooling with a war prisoner. You are a joke.” Dominic

said, as I could feel the pressure of Sylvester’s anger. I knew he could do damage.

“Let’s go to him,” Kaira said, and I did not

know if it was wise since I was part of the cause. But I went to him regardless and

touched his hand.

“Let him go, please,” I linked Sylvester, and his hand shook with rage and pulled his

brother close.

“You might be my older brother, but I am your Lord, and I bow to no one. Watch how you address me,

Dominic; I won’t take it easy on you next time.” Sylvester said and released him.

The red-haired in the bathroom approached

and held Dominic’s hand, and I figured they

had planned this.

She had come to get me upset in the bathroom, but she failed woefully at it

because I wasn’t an amateur, while Dominic approached Sylvester.

“Mother wants to see you, and do not bring your things close to the house or I won’t be so gentle,”

Dominic said and adjusted.

Sylvester laughed and looked at Dominic.

“You can’t do shit. I can be with whoever I

want, and as for Bane, I will attend to him

when the time comes,” He told his brother calmly, sat down and relaxed on the chair.

The brother looked at me and smiled.

“Do not let him deceive you. You won’t be the first, and neither will you be the last,” He said, and I

smiled at him.

“Thank you, sir. I look forward to a

wonderful time. It is better than languishing

in a cell,” I told him, and he was more shocked than mad.

I did not react the way he wanted me to. Honestly, I did not care. I was having fun, and Sylvester

seemed genuine. I was willing to see where it leads to.

I sat down on the chair and leaned against Sylvester.

Dominic tried to approach again, but Marcel and Theodore held him. Sylvester remained

calm, but I knew what his brother said

bothered him because he knew I heard

everything.

Dominic walked away, and Sylvester stood up, ending the night.

I could not talk to him because I could sense

he was pissed off.

The pressure of his rage was also much, so I

remained silent.

We left the club and started heading back to

the Volkov Estate.

We drove all the way back in silence and headed straight to the bedroom.

I undressed and showered, then wore his t- shirt with nothing under.

I could tell he was worried.

He sat at the edge of the bed, and I knelt behind him, wrapped my arms around him,

and then kissed his cheeks.

“I trust you, Sylvester. Nothing he said bothered me. I know you, and I wanted this too. Do not let him

get to you. He is just jealous, that is all.” I said, and he held my

hand and kissed it.

He turned to look at me.

“There won’t be anymore. This is it for me, Tamia. I can feel it down in my soul that you are the one.

Please do not let all these people get into your head. I haven’t kept a harem in over three years, and I

am not searching for

Susan,” He said, and I cupped his face in my palm and kissed his lips. 2

“I know, Sylvester, I believe you,” I said, and he was silent.

“Let us sleep,” I said, and he obliged.

I woke up in the morning and noticed Sylvester wasn’t in the room.

I tried to link him and noticed he wasn’t on

the property.

I showered and headed for breakfast.

Everyone was there except for Sylvester.

I greeted everyone and went to sit.

“Sylvester had to go and see his mother this morning, because of what happened at the club. It was

sudden, and he told me to apologise on his behalf. He will be back tomorrow,” Marcel said, and I

frowned.

“Lucland isn’t that far. Why tomorrow?” I

asked Marcel.

“Because he always spends the night when he visits her,” Marcel said, and I nodded. It was his mother;

I could understand why he would spend time with her.

“By the way, Tamia, I do not know if Sylvester told you anything, but can you tell me about the nature of

your relationship with Bane?” Marcel asked, and that was the second time they would ask me a weird

question about Bane. First, it was Sylvester, and now Marcel.

“I only met the guy once. We danced at the party, and he asked his beta to take me home,” I said,

summing it up.

“Then why will he send an army to retrieve

you from here?” He asked, and I was

stunned.

“What!” I exclaimed, and even Avery exclaimed too.

“Yes, that attack was because he wanted to rescue you from here. We could understand

Avery’s ex-husband wanting Avery back, but we can’t understand Bane and you,” he said, and I was

confused.

“Anyway, I am telling you this because there is a long war between the north and the south. I do not

think Sylvester has told you about it, but you can’t be affiliated with Bane and Sylvester at the same

time. It will be

catastrophic. My Alpha cares about you a lot. I wouldn’t want him to get hurt emotionally. “He said,

looking out for Sylvester. 1

“Is it because Sylvester did not attack him for murdering his father?” I asked Marcel, and he shook his

head.

“No, Tamia. Bane believes he should be the

Wolf Lord because he killed the former Lord.

The fight between Bane and Sylvester and the main reason why Bane is trying to gather an army is to

take over the North, East and West; I am only telling you this because anyone affiliated with Bane is an

enemy of the north,” He said, and my hands began to shake because Leo had made an

alliance with him. There was no way Marcel

was lying.

I was worried for Leo and the entire east.

Avery and Linda did not care, but I cared;

Leo was there, and his mate was expecting.
