Chapter 30 – I Bled for His Pack. Then He Cast Me Aside

“Not tonight, green-eyes. Tonight, we sleep, ” he said, and with that, he turned me down again.

Morning came, and we got ready for breakfast together. I could not believe what was happening.

As we walked down the hall, people looked at us, and then Lilly approached us and bowed her head.

“Good morning, Alpha,” She said, and he responded gently.

“Good morning Lilly,” He said, and she looked up and smiled at me.

“What time do you need me to come, Alpha? “She said, trying to insinuate it was for sex.

“Did you greet Tamia?” Sylvester asked her, and she shook her head.

“You should accord her the same respect, He said, and I was shocked, but I composed myself.

“Good morning, Ms. Tamia,” she said, acknowledging that I had no mark and wasn’t a luna anymore.

“Good morning, Lilly,” I said, and she smiled at me.

“Good,” Sylvester said.

“I learned you go about giving people the impression that we are screwing,” he said, confronting her, and she looked stunned as if it were a lie. 1

“I do not want to hear such nonsense again. And I am revoking all your privileges. I treated you like a little sister, and you abused that privilege. Pretending to be excited and hugging me so you can kiss my cheek and leave lipstick on it. That was very dubious. It will be in your best interest to tell your friends the truth. Your computer services are no longer required. Henceforth you are not allowed in my office or my bedroom. Am I clear?” he asked, and she bowed.

I honestly couldn’t believe what had just happened.

When he told me he wasn’t sleeping with her, I thought he was lying and telling me what I wanted to hear. Now I knew better.

We left her and headed for the dining room. So much for having the Alpha’s ears. What a joke.

My mood was lifted instantly. I felt sorry for her because she tried to live her fantasies aloud.

We entered the dining room and went to sit on our chairs; Avery and Linda looked at me funny.

“What were you on yesterday afternoon? You wanted to jump out the window, Tamia. You made Alpha make a lot of promises before getting you out the window,” Avery linked me, and I looked at Sylvester.

“Did I make you promise me anything yesterday?” I asked, and he smiled at me?

“You didn’t; your wolf did, and you don’t want to know. Let’s just leave it alone.” He told me and served my food; I shook my head.

“Please tell me,” I said, and Marcel laughed.

“You should tell her,” he told Sylvester, and Sylvester looked at me and smiled.

“Are you sure you want to know what Kaira said under the influence?” He asked, and I nodded.

“They called me that you were standing at the window of your room. We all rushed to your room and saw that you had trashed the place. There was also vomit everywhere. I saw the bottle of northern cocktail, and I panicked because you had drunk more than the required amount.

When Kaira saw me, she began to cry. She called me an arsehole and scumbag; name it. She said I was a bully, and I was playing with both of you. She asked me if there was a reason I did not find you fuckable. She used that word. She compared you to Lilly then she said both of you would be running away by jumping out the window.” He paused, and I was already ashamed. I tried to reach Kaira, but she refused to respond.

“I pleaded with you not to jump, and she told me she won’t if I promise to do you all night long until morning and then some more, and the rest of the things she said were incoherent. I doubt she was even processing what I was telling her because the moment I reached her and took her away from the window, she passed out in my arms. You shouldn’t leave your wolf in charge like that again. They are always brutally honest and don’t pretend,” He said, and I bowed in shame.

I suspected something was off about that drink. I knew something was wrong when I started feeling woozy and having an out-of- body experience. I was glad Sylvester came for me and not just anyone.

Eventually, we made light of the situation, and we all laughed and joked about it.

Soon breakfast was over, and Sylvester asked me to join him for training. I dreaded going to that room after seeing the amount of silver that was in it, but I humoured him and followed.

I did not know how physically weak I had become until I trained with Sylvester.

I felt terrible about it, but he calmed me down. He told me not to worry about it, but it troubled my soul.

After the training, Sylvester and I showered together, and he said he had something planned out for us.

He led me to the eastern garden of the estate, and there, a small picnic was planned for us.

There were people in the garden, especially women from the harem, but no one came near us.

“Wow, Sylvester, this is amazing,” I said, thrilled by what I saw. It was a bit chilly outside, but I appreciated it.

We sat on the mat, and he bought out a thermos and poured hot chocolate into a mug for me. To my surprise, he poured tinny marshmallows on the top. 1

“How did you know?” I asked him, and he smiled.

“Let us just say someone gave me tips on how to woo you,” He said, and I knew who that was; for the first time, thinking of Leo did not make me sad; I smiled, grateful for his effort.

Sylvester moved closer to me and kissed me. I knew the ladies present could see us, and I grabbed onto his head and kissed him harder, showing ownership and staking my claim.

We broke the kiss, and he laughed.

“You want them to know,” He said, knowing what I did.

“You can’t blame me, Alpha,” I said, and he smiled.

We stayed there a bit, and I gathered the courage to ask him why he chose me.
