Her Plan

CHAPTER 5.

"Alpha Ruco, the father of your mates, who you rejected will be here any moment. He'll be here to know who was brave enough to reject his sons, so you might wanna get ready to meet him when he arrives."

Seated in the grand chambers, I listened as the news of the Alpha from another pack's impending visit reached my ears from my father's voice which was void of emotions.

That was the first time he spoke to me like that, but I wasn't heartbroken either. My heart remained unmoved despite how he had said it, probably to put some fear in me.

I was so angry at the sight of them and I had no interest in these men, safe from the fact that I was focused on revenge for what they had done to me.

I was determined to make it clear to the visiting Alpha that I had no intention of accepting his sons but saying such to my father might likely cause an uproar, so I just kept quiet to avoid attracting anyone's wrath.

At noon while I was with my father, the chamber doors swung open, and there he stood, the father of my supposed mates. He looked confident, unaware of who I was even though I recognized him instantly.

He exchanged pleasantries with my father and as he began speaking about how pained his sons had been about being rejected, irritation bubbled within me.

"They have been deeply saddened by the way things turned out, so I came to know if we could sort this out with your daughter." he said, his words falling on deaf ears. I watched as he rambled on, his voice grating on my nerves.

I clenched my fists in anger as I glared at him while sitting there, recalling the pain and agony I had endured at the hands of his sons in my previous life.

How could he stand there, speaking about them being sad and angry, as if that would undo everything they had done to me? That wasn't enough to take me back and save the body of the innocent girl I was living in.

"Your sons took another wife, didn't they?" I blurted out, my voice dripping with bitterness.

"And now you're here, telling me to accept them back? I am never going to come back! You go tell them to fuck themselves." Even though my father gave me signals to respect him and calm down, I couldn't hold back my emotions because each time he tried to speak about them being innocent, it just vexed me so much. I stood up, my anger getting the best of me.

"You think I'll just forget the years of torment?" I yelled, my voice cracking with emotion. "You're delusional!"

Alpha Ruco's face turned red with anger.

"What are you even talking about?! What years of torment?!" Then turning to my father he said. "Control your daughter, before I make rash decisions you wouldn't like." My father looked torn between defending me and maintaining the alliance. But before he could even reply, I fired back at Alpha Ruco.

"I won't be controlled!," I retorted, giving my father's efforts to calm me a cold stare.

He was shocked.

"Not by you, not by anyone. Because nobody understands what-" my words caught in my throat as the horrifying memories passed through my mind again.

I continued to exchange heated words with Alpha Ruco, every reply more biting than the last.

His frustration only goaded my determination to insult him the more. In the end, he slammed his hand on the table and rose to his feet while snarling at me, he was almost frothing.

"Our alliance with this pack is over," he declared, his voice echoing through the chamber. And there was a moment of silence as we all tried to process what he had just said. Without another word, Alpha Ruco turned around and signalling his guards, they made for the door.

We all watched as the door closed with a bang and he was gone. My father's face contorted in anger immediately at what I had done, and he turned to me with a very angry look crossing his features. That was the first time he was real angry at me.

"Look at what you've done!" he yelled, his voice weighty with disappointment at what I had done.

The thing was, I didn't even give a hoot about the consequences,  but I was happy that I had given the man an account of how angry I was. I had finally stood up to the man responsible for my past suffering.

It might not have been the satisfaction which I craved, but it was a step towards the revenge I desperately craved. That was the moment a thought hit me, but my father's rants as he continued to berate me made it a bit hard to think clearly. The idea slowly formed in my mind and soon I stopped him.

"Wait a minute," I interrupted him, rising from my throne chair. And without waiting for his response, I rushed out of the chamber, determined to catch up with Alpha Ruco before he left the Pack, if he wasn't gone already.

"Where are you going?!" My father shouted, but I was gone like the wind. He must have followed me because I heard chairs being moved. If I really wanted this revenge, then I needed to be with them.

Being with them would make it easier for me to punish them for their accusation and evil they had done to me. Outside the chamber, I found the Alpha and his entourage preparing to depart. I swallowed my pride and walked towards him immediately.

"Hey!" I called when I had gotten close enough. He turned back, and was a bit surprised to see me standing there. Not minding the Pack members around, I knelt before him, a false sense of remorse on my face.

"I'm sorry for my outburst," I began, my voice laced with fake sincerity which he didn't notice.

"I'm willing to give your sons a chance to prove themselves, to come into my life as my true mates. I was just not thinking straight and that's why whatever I said to you back there left my mouth. And for that, I am deeply sorry." Alpha Ruco's expression softened as he glanced at me for a while, as if processing if my words were genuine.

"Stand, Princess. You shouldn't be kneeling." he said, placing a hand on my shoulder. 

"I just don't know any better way I should have apologised, considering how I must have hurt you with my stupid insults. I am deeply sorry."

"I'm glad to hear that," he said, a hint of a smile on his lips.

Little did he know that my words were far from genuine. My plan was wicked and cunning, and I was ready to execute it to perfection.
