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 andthat 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 ofa wolf who, from what I’ve been hearing from the people who heard the King’s speech, COULDN’TEVEN 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’tthink so.”

“Besides,”Greg began, “Why want to kill her? Why not just feed her something to drive her insane?” Hesaid 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 wedrive her insane, you’ve been living under a boulder for longer than any Lycan in existence.” Sheslouched back into her armchair, and glared at the wall with glistening eyes o frage and jealousy(Thisnovel 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 andher 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 doingwithout 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 thepeople 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!” Sheslammed the table between them with both hands to release part of her seething anger and in amurderous voice she uttered, “Get rid of her by all means necessary. She got lucky this time. Her friendswere 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. Didyou even feel the influence she has among her kind before you were kicked out?” He chuckled darkly atSasha’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 theninth wine glass on the table and left. Sasha then hissed, “Why are you so pinned o n keeping heralive?!” Greg tried his best to mask his discomfort but Sasha caught him before he could put on hisemotionless mask.

“Oh, my goddess.” Sasha’s voice was the lightest and the most taunting for the first time that night. “Youlike her. You like the Gamma.”

When Greg didn’t deny her assertion and continued to avert his eyes as he sipped on his drink, (Thisnovel 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-nothingbrother 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 infamousrake 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 funof you.” :

“The only piece of dirt I see right now is you. And unlike you, the wolf made an indisputable point.” Hecontinued to speak in a low voice as he recalled how he tried to insult Lucianne without knowing whatshe was capable of saying in return. ‘Ignorance is blissful, your Grace, until it gets you killed.(This novelwill be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) ‘ He replayed her words in his head, and took another sipfrom 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 somany 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’veever done was to get her to walk in on my brother with a friend after drugging him. A wolf has no placewith the esteemed Cummings family.”

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 gettinganything. So, I’ll just say that you’re living in a cave.” His stern eyes locked with Sasha’s infuriated onesas 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 Ihear that your father had to beg the King for forgiveness after you humiliated the wolf? Also, if I recallcorrectly, you told me yourself that your father had to apologize to a Luna, a wolf, in front ofeveryone.”Greg chuckled again and continued, “If anything, the Cummings are probably the worst nameto be associated with this year.”

Sasha was gritting her teeth and boiling in anger. How can that little wolf cause so many problems for herfamily even when she was no longer bonded to her brother?! Sasha made sure she got rid of Lucianneto 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 sheclearly won’t break with any verbal assault, even if we were in a public setting. This isn’t like my distantcousin’s mate. That one was easy and useless. This one…she’s different.” His voice softened when hesaid the last part.

“So, what do you suggest? Poison her? Didn’t you say that it would be too traceable from yourexperience?” Sasha got to thinking.

Greg then spoke in a business-like manner, “Yes, it’s too risky. (This novel will be daily updtaed atwww.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 wasalmost caught. The man I sent was called in as a suspect. I had to eliminate him myself and make hisdeath 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 anychildren?”
