chapter 15

Alpha Diego POV.

After my conversation with Olivia, two days ago. Somewhere within me, I had the feat that she had been caught. If not, Alpha Navier should have been announced dead by now. I should never have entrusted the bitch with such a mission. She's a fuck up. But I had no other person who could infiltrate his pack.

"Fuck! She can never do anything right! So useless." I grunt out in frustration.

That bitch, would jeopardize our plans before it starts, but it's just a feeling right? I concluded, and picked up the phone that buzzed on my table.

"Alpha Diego, tell me you succeeded." He ordered, before I could speak. "It shouldn't be that hard to convince your girl. She's Naive."

"Hmmm, Alpha Stone." I started, taking a deep breath. It's always takes up my courage to speak to him without stuttering. "It wasn't as easy as I thought. She has formed such a deep hatred for me, than I expected." I selected my words carefully, not to slip up about my fears.

"What!" He yelled right into my ears so loud that I flinched, me an Alpha. "You assured me your girl is up to the task!"

"Yes, I did. But things change." I was forced to snap back. He is the rogue king and so what? He doesn't get to treat me like I'm his underlings. I am an Alpha.

"Don't you dare raise your voice at me, Diego!" He snarled, in a voice full of Authority. "You know the danger associated with our failure. She's your daughter force her, or threaten her to do it! And if you can't, you're just a weak ass Alpha like everyone says."

I calmed down instantly. I couldn't raise my voice at him. One order from him, my pack will be burnt to the ground. He''s almost as cruel as Alpha Navier. The only difference was he was a Rogue king that attacks from the shadows.

Besides this is my only chance to become one of the most powerful, richest Alpha in the world. I can't

"Understood," I replied. "But I can't threaten her. If I do that she might rat me out to Navier. She is a hopeless romantic, she'd confess if the pressure’s too much." I tried to reason with him.

"Don't worry, I have one of my girls on that. He'd never mate your daughter." He chuckled darkly. "My informants told me Navier already made her his maid. So your daughter probably hates him, more than she despises you."

"Are you certain..."

"Don't question me!" He cuts in before I could finish my sentence. "Go back to her tonight."

"I fear that someone has already seen me with her," I exclaimed.

"That's better. It means she will be punished. Use that to form hatred in her heart against Devon as well." Stone urged.

I thought about it for a while, and decided it was true. If she were caught with me, he'd think she's a spy and punish her. And that would fuel her hatred and put an end to her mating fantasies.

"A brilliant idea, Alpha Stone." I chuckled in agreement. "I should be on my way then."

***

After a few hours of walking in my wolf form, I spotted Mira on the field, training tirelessly. I wanted from when she was punished with a thousand laps, to when she fainted and cold water was poured on her head.

That irked me.

I don't care about Mira. But it annoyed me to see her maltreated by Navier's men. It only means that Navier gave control to his men to also abuse my daughter. But then I guess she deserves it. No pack wants a liability, a curse.

Even I her father would have done so much worse in their shoes. But still, I felt a sting in my heart.

I waited for hours on the tree, till she returned to her room, then I made my way to her room. I was extra careful not to be spotted. I knocked on the door, and she opened it.

Her facial expression made me smirk.

"Mira, my child. Can I come in." I said, and tried to walk in. But she recovered from shock and tried to shut the door.

"If you dare shut the door..." I warned, an evil smirk curling at the corners of lips. "I will go wandering around till I am caught. Do you think you'll be safe?"

Before I could blink, she pulled me in, and slammed the door shut.

"What do you want?" She glared, and I smiled.

"Olivia, that is not a way to greet your father," I said. "I can't believe you would welcome me in such a manner when I came to see you."

She scoffed. Her expression showed disbelief and I smiled more.

"How are you?" I asked. She looked at me in surprise. She opened her mouth to speak and then she closed it. I wanted to laugh out at that point but I knew it would ruin all my plans so I withheld the laughter.

"Are you fine?" I tried to touch her, but she flinched. "Please, I want to apologize. I'm sorry for everything I have done to you."

"Sorry is not enough." She gestured. How I was able to understand her, I didn't know. I guess it had to do with the blood we shared.

"Navier doesn't love you, Mira." I repeated. She stared away from me and I knew right then that I had gotten her.

"Look at what he did to you, he found you unconscious, and rather than helping you inside, he emptied a bucket of cold water on you," I said.

How did you know? She gestured to me.

"I overheard him brag about it to his subordinates as I was coming. That was why I had to come in to check up on you. Mira, why not end this torture, and return home." I lied.

"That's not true." She signed, I watched as different emotions showed on her face. She was in denial.

Poor child.

"Would you do nothing? To show him you're not a doormat?" I goaded her, I needed her to believe that she had no chance with Navier. "Or would you rather stand there and watch him use you, and make another woman his mate?"

No, no.

She shook her head, her hands flapping in anger. I don't know what she said but it seems like my words got to her. Good.

"Listen, you can lock up his wolf first. Later you can kill him off. That way, you will be free from this torture, and you will be accepted back in our pack and celebrated as the hero who killed Alpha Devon."

"Think about it, my darling daughter."

Telling her all this was easy but pretending to care about her was so hard. I felt disgusted by my words.

"You should. We will accept you, and you can choose another mate who will respect you." I proposed. "So do the needful. Make use of those bottles I gave you."

"I will come in to check in on you next time, make sure you make the choice that will make us proud of you," I pecked her forehead with a smile.

I knew my words had gotten to her, with the way she looked distraught when I kissed her head. So naive and innocent.
