Chapter 25
“You said you could get rid of her.” Sasha glowered.
“As I have already explained the past five times, there were complications. Who knew that the King and that pesky other-cousin of his would get there in time?” Greg retorted.
“Hmph! After getting rid of almost all the warriors to draw that little Gamma there, she still couldn’t die.” Sasha barked, “How is it that not even one of the three of them could stick a simple knife into the body of a wolf who, from what I’ve been hearing from the people who heard the King’s speech, COULDN’T EVEN STAND?!! Are these people you got for the job even qualified?!” 1
Greg glared at her and challenged, “Do you have any alternative resources to do it, besides mine?”
Sasha crossed her arms and averted her glare to the wall, remaining silent. Greg smug. “Yeah, didn’t think so.”
“Besides,”Greg began, “Why want to kill her? Why not just feed her something to drive her insane?” He said emotionlessly but only he knew that he had an ulterior motive for keeping Lucianne alive.
Sasha’s death glare came back to lock with his eyes. “If you think the King would leave her when we drive her insane, you’ve been living under a boulder for longer than any Lycan in existence.” She slouched back into her armchair, and glared at the wall with glistening eyes o frage and jealousy(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) . “The way he looks at her is just sickening. That speech tonight to make her feel good about herself and her ugly-looking friends is all a joke…”
“If you think that was a joke, you clearly don’t know what my contacts have always been capable of doing without a trace, until this morning. As much as I hate them, I’m not blind. Those friends of hers really did
the impossible today before the two cousins showed up.”Greg retorted. Unbeknownst to him, one of the people he hired remained alive, and was locked up i n prison.
Sasha then sat back up and spat, “I want her dead. She does not deserve to be Queen. I DO!” She slammed the table between them with both hands to release part of her seething anger and in a murderous voice she uttered, “Get rid of her by all means necessary. She got lucky this time. Her friends were there to buy her time. Kill her friends if that’s what it takes to get
rid of her.” 1
Greg snorted. “Hah! You really think we can eliminate every last wolf willing to protect the
little Gamma before we get caught ourselves? Wow. You’re definitely dumber than I remembered. Did you even feel the influence she has among her kind before you were kicked out?” He chuckled darkly at Sasha’s naivety.
Greg pondered for a moment before suggesting, “We could always sedate and abduct her, sell
her on some underground black market.”
“No. I want her DEAD! DEAD!” Sasha breathed heavily. Then, a waitress opened the door to place the ninth wine glass on the table and left. Sasha then hissed, “Why are you so pinned o n keeping her alive?!” Greg tried his best to mask his discomfort but Sasha caught him before he could put on his emotionless mask.
“Oh, my goddess.” Sasha’s voice was the lightest and the most taunting for the first time that night. “You like her. You like the Gamma.”
When Greg didn’t deny her assertion and continued to avert his eyes as he sipped on his drink, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) Sasha snorted in jealousy. Jealousy of so many people
going after a dull-looking… thing. She sneered, “Even without the mate bond, that good-for-nothing brother of mine wants her so badly that he would humiliate himself to win her back.”
“Seb lost his chance.” Greg stated simply, and sipped from his glass again.
Sasha cocked her head and asked sarcastically, “Oh, and you haven’t? Is that what you’re trying to say? What do you want with that thing anyway? Just because the King wants it?”
Greg’s nostrils flared in anger as he declared, “I couldn’t care less what my cousin wants.”
“Hah!” Sasha was wiping away her tears from all the anger and continued, “Oh, Goddess. The infamous rake of a Duke wants to f*ck a wolf. Running out of Lycans to sleep with?”
Greg growled, making Sasha flinch. His low voice was menacing when he said, “Watch your mouth.”
Sasha wasn’t about to give up. “Funny how you couldn’t say that to the piece of dirt when she made fun of you.” :
“The only piece of dirt I see right now is you. And unlike you, the wolf made an indisputable point.” He continued to speak in a low voice as he recalled how he tried to insult Lucianne without knowing what she was capable of saying in return. ‘Ignorance is blissful, your Grace, until it gets you killed.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) ‘ He replayed her words in his head, and took another sip from his glass before muttering, “She’s different.”
Sasha emptied the wineglass at one-go, and threw it at the wall again. “Lycan men are going blind. Of so many beautiful creatures around them, they choose to have eyes for a stunted, bad -mouthed, disrespectful piece of sh*t. Hmph!” She then smiled schemingly and said, “The most selfless thing I’ve ever done was to get her to walk in on my brother with a friend after drugging him. A wolf has no place with the esteemed Cummings family.”novelbin
Greg chuckled darkly, and made no comment until Sasha prompted, “Something to say, your Grace?”
“You said I’ve been living under a boulder. I’m thinking of an even bigger rock for you but I’m not getting anything. So, I’ll just say that you’re living in a cave.” His stern eyes locked with Sasha’s infuriated ones as he said, “Did you not notice that Alfred Cummings and Pierre
Whitlaw have been in deep sh*t since my cousins discovered the rogue Lycans we sent? And didn’t I hear that your father had to beg the King for forgiveness after you humiliated the wolf? Also, if I recall correctly, you told me yourself that your father had to apologize to a Luna, a wolf, in front of everyone.”Greg chuckled again and continued, “If anything, the Cummings are probably the worst name to be associated with this year.”
Sasha was gritting her teeth and boiling in anger. How can that little wolf cause so many problems for her family even when she was no longer bonded to her brother?! Sasha made sure she got rid of Lucianne to be rid of anything dirty that would tarnish the family’s name! How could this happen?!
“Killing her by fighting her won’t do.”, Greg said “She’s too strong. She has too many allies. And she clearly won’t break with any verbal assault, even if we were in a public setting. This isn’t like my distant cousin’s mate. That one was easy and useless. This one…she’s different.” His voice softened when he said the last part.
“So, what do you suggest? Poison her? Didn’t you say that it would be too traceable from your experience?” Sasha got to thinking.
Greg then spoke in a business-like manner, “Yes, it’s too risky. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) We won’t be doing that. It’s not worth it. I’ve only managed to get away with it once. Even then, I was almost caught. The man I sent was called in as a suspect. I had to eliminate him myself and make his death look like a suicide before they traced the trail back to me.”
“Once? How? When?” Sasha asked.
Greg grinned in a despicable way. “Have you ever wondered why my distant cousin never had any children?”
