Sylvester's POV
I could not understand what was happening to me. Since Christopher came home, I have started feeling funny towards Millicent. I no longer feel so angry towards her. It is true that I have wanted her for a long time now but that was just lust. Right now, it was no longer a case of just lust, it seemed that I had started liking her. But I will have none of that. Anyone is welcomed to her as long as I can use her for my own ends.
'Why are you restless then?' Ezra asked. 'Christopher will win her and you will lose!'
I was not in the mood to argue with Ezra, so I just paced my room, thinking about the dilemma facing me when a movement down my window drew my attention. I went to the window to check it out and found Christopher with Millicent. They seemed to be discussing. Then Christopher tipped her face up. I felt funny. Apart from that time during my engagement party to Cathania, when Daniel had been dancing with Millicent, I have never felt this funny feeling. I hated the feeling but it was even worse now and I felt Ezra being restless. I do not know why Ezra has not accepted Cathania like I have.
Cathania! That reminds me. I was supposed to meet with her or at leDt send someone with a message for her. A trusted servant. But funny enough, I felt reluctant. That can wait! I assured myself. I needed to know what these two were up to.
Suddenly, Christopher was kissing Millicent. This couldn't be! I have been with the wench for a very long time and I have not been able to give her a proper kiss.
'Who's fault is that?' Ezra asked. I knew how to treat my wolf, it was just to ignore him.
Apart from the time I for Ed my lips on her as a form of punishment for dancing with my Beta, I have not kissed her and that instant cannot even be counted as a real kiss, even if Cathania had not interrupted.
Cathania... Just a little more time and I'd sent someone to give her a message for me but wait, Millicent was not pushing Christopher away like I had anticipated Her had had crept up to his chest and I thought it was to push him away and give him a resounding slap, I would have enjoyed it and might even have applauded but her hands went round Christopher's neck, drawing him closer, kissing him back. They did not seem to care that they were in the full view of anyone who might happen to see them. They were lost in each other's arms.
I grounded my teeth in fury as I saw Christopher place his arms about her, one hand caressing her back and the other combing her hair in their passion and I felt murder rise in my blood.
I could have leaped down from the window, if I could but the window had iron bars and I'll have to climb down the stairs to get to them.
Christopher was supposed to keep away from the woman, damn! I could just take matters into my hands and mate with her, get her pregnant and that will settle the problem of the double mate. I wonder why I hadn't thought of it before now as Christopher obviously has.
'You've been too busy with Cathania, of course!' that was Ezra again.
Then, Millicent was moving away from Christopher. What had he said to her to put her off? That was of no consequence to me. I have to have a word with Christopher and soon before I murder someone.
I leapt down the steps and got to the entrance just as Christopher was coming in, and I almost col
'Christopher, upstairs, in your room, right now!' I said, without mincing words.
'What's the problem?' he asked but I just ignored him and preceded him into his room.
'Sylvester, what's irking you?' he asked and I restrain myself from being physical with him.
'How can you ask that when I just saw you making out with my mate? Did we not agree that we shall leave all mating and the like pending till a solution is found?' I asked.
Christopher looked at me like I had lost it. 'First of all, I was not making out with your mate. I was with my mate and what we were doing does not concerned you or anyone for that matter!' he said fiercely . I have never seen him looking so fierce. 'Secondly, I did not agree with you or those old men in the council to wait for any solutions. If I recall correctly, I said I was going to make my own destiny' and that is what I am doing!'
'You are biting more than you can chew. I had her first!' I shouted.
'That may be true but you did not know what to do with her because you never really appreciated her. You were consumed with your bitterness for her that you never saw the priceless jewel that was Millicent', he shouted right back at me. 'Now it is too late because I will move mountains to make her mine. Anyway, what do you care, you do not love her'.
'But I do!' I said and was immediately shocked at my confession. Where had that come from? But as I considered what I had said, I realised that it was true. I did love Millicent.
I looked at Christopher to see how he took my outburst and saw shock reflected in his eyes.
'You don't really mean that, do you?' he asked, in a gentler tone.
'I do not know how or when it happened. It crept up on me. I know I had started feeling different towards her lately but I felt it was just complacency but now I know better. I cannot bear to see anyone else close to her. I felt like murdering you right now when I saw you kissing her!' I confessed.
'Then we are in deep soup because I will not share her with anyone either! But what about Cathania? I thought you loved her well enough to get engaged to her?''
'Forget Cathania! I am a bit confused about what I feel for her now'. I said shaking my head to clear it of the cobwebs that seem to have been spun there.
'What?' someone said behind us and both of us swirled round to find Cathania standing at the entrance.
