Filed to story: The Alpha King’s Intoxicating Mate
It couldn’t be. This would ruin everything!
“Mother, we can’t let this upset our plans” she hissed as her mother fought for control “Please, no. Not now. We’re so close” she pleaded.
Luna Bianca shot her a look. “Be quiet Brynn” she snapped “I’m thinking.”
For once her daughter obeyed her and fell silent, a brooding expression on her face. Luna Bianca’s mind began to tick over as she desperately thought about what to do. The letter from the Alpha King was explicit, the introduction of a new law that was threatening to derail her plans involving Leah. She couldn’t understand it. The breeding program had been in place for over a hundred years. To abolish it so suddenly, without any indication, was almost unheard of. Something had made the Alpha King decide to do this, she thought, studying the paper. So what was she supposed to do? She wasn’t going to tell Johnathon about this. She knew that already. She had no doubts about what her husband would choose to do, knowing him as intimately as she did. Her husband was predictable.
At least Johnathon hadn’t seen it, she thought, her eyes lighting up. If her husband had, there was no doubt in her mind that he would have insisted on following the law and Leah would be under their guardianship for a few more miserable years. The thought of that made her nauseous. Her eyes flashed with anger. It had taken her this long to find a way to get rid of that pitiful wench and she was damned if she was going to have her carefully laid plans be foiled at the very last second. Brynn was biting her lip and clenching her hands into fists, her breathing shallow and uneven. She couldn’t believe their rotten luck. Just when they were about to get rid of Leah, her most hated enemy, the Alpha King intervenes!
Luna Bianca reached out with a slim and delicate hand, gingerly picking up the official letter and holding it with the envelope it had come encased in.
“We didn’t see this” she stated calmly as Brynn looked at her confused.
Had her mother lost her mind? What game was she playing?
“We didn’t see the letter?” she asked doubtfully.
Her daughter was a little feeble-minded, thought Luna Bianca a little unkindly as she tried to explain it as simply as possible.
“We never saw this letter,” she said sharply as Brynn’s eyes lit up in realization “It never arrived at the pack house. Nobody, including you,” she said meaningfully, shooting a pointed stare at her daughter “is aware of its existence. Your father is to remain oblivious to it and what it contains.”
Brynn nodded obediently, a small smile curving on her lips. Her mother stood up and strode to the fireplace, quickly placing the letter and envelope into the flames and watching them burn with satisfaction. She waited until there was nothing but ashes left before turning back to Brynn, a look of resolve on her face, her lips flattening with displeasure.
“It appears that I must request Alpha Daxton’s presence sooner than expected after all,” she told Brynn solemnly “and arrange for Leah to leave the pack a little earlier than we anticipated. Tell the omegas to prepare a room for a visiting Alpha, and don’t say a word to anyone, not even Ashton” she snarled.
“Of course,” Brynn said gleefully, standing up and kissing her mother on the cheek “This is the best birthday present I could have hoped for,” she said cackling.
“Go” her mother instructed her, seating herself back at the desk and slowly reaching for the cell phone that was sitting atop of the desk, beginning to scroll through her contacts as Brynn willingly opened the door and went out of the room, shutting the door loudly behind her, making Luna Bianca wince slightly. “It appears I have a very important phone call to make” she murmured, hitting the dial button on the phone and bracing herself. With luck, she could get Alpha Daxton here ASAP and leave with Leah without Johnathon becoming aware of the Alpha King’s new decree. He was too damn soft when it came to Leah and she wasn’t going to risk him considering letting her stay. This was for the good of everyone, she thought to herself smirking, as the phone on the other end began to ring.
Third Person POV
Alpha Daxton approached the pack house with a small entourage, a grim expression on his face, one that lightened as he was greeted by an eager Luna Bianca and a slightly confused Alpha Johnathon from the Dark Rising Pack.
“Welcome Alpha Daxton” Luna Bianca said sweetly, giving him a pointed look that he understood completely.
He was not to mention the new decree in front of the Alpha. He too had read the new official statement from the Alpha King, but he was desperate for a breeder and was not willing to let this opportunity go, not when Luna Bianca had seen fit to continue on regardless, providing her own incentive for him to go through with it.
“Thank you, Luna Bianca,” he said cordially, inclining his head “Alpha Johnathon, I welcome you for allowing me to visit your pack and bring this contract to a close.”
Alpha Johnathon smiled tightly. “You are most welcome, although I must admit, I was surprised to learn of your need to hurry this contract along,” he said with a crease between his brow “I had thought that two more days would hardly make a difference.”
Alpha Daxton gave him a smile as Alpha Johnathon turned and led him inside the pack house, “I fear that I cannot attend in two days’ time and it was better to do it sooner, rather than later” he said without explanation.
Alpha Johnathon looked a little disgruntled but Luna Bianca responded quickly “We understand and Johnathon as you just said” she said to her husband calmly “Two days is hardly going to make a difference” she said, repeating his words back to him.
This displeased her husband, she could tell, for he raised an eyebrow at her and grunted, before opening the door to their private study and motioning for Alpha Daxton to come in, seating himself behind the massive desk and regarding him for a moment. Luna Bianca stood behind him, her watchful eyes observing everything. Her lips curved back into a small smile. Finally, she was getting what she wanted all along. That b***h Leah was going to be gone for good and her pack would finally be peaceful again. Exactly the way she wanted it. She gave a deep exhale of satisfaction.
Alpha Johnathon began to rifle through his desk drawers, looking impatient. Out of respect, Alpha Daxton’s small entourage stayed out in the hallway. Alpha Johnathon had a few guards of his own standing at the ready.
“Luckily I have the contract prepared,” Alpha Johnathon said a little smarmily to the other Alpha who raised his chin, nodding slowly.
“I appreciate that Alpha Johnathon,” he said respectfully “I know that you are a busy man.”
