Unknown’s POV
“Is everything ready?” I asked as I put my hands in my pockets.
I was looking through the window into the thick forest that surrounded my new home. It was just perfect. I couldn’t wait to build my future here. All of my dreams would come true in this place. I would finally get everything I always wanted to have. I would finally become everything I was always supposed to be.
“Yes, Alpha,” Brody said. “Everything will be over tonight.”
I smiled and took a deep breath. I was so excited and I could barely think about anything else other than finally seeing her tonight.
“What about Kendrick, Alpha?” Brody asked and my mood worsened instantly.
I fucking hated that man. He was nothing but a greedy, little rat who thought that he would get what he fucking wanted by sucking up to me.
“He is a useless piece of thrash,” I said, growling quietly. “We don’t need him.”
Brody was silent for a moment.
“Are you sure, Alpha?” he asked. “He has insight into…”
“What?” I interrupted him and turned around. “He has insight into what, Brody?”
“Alpha Dimitri,” Brody said, gulping. “He knows him.”
I snorted and shook my head. I approached my desk and sat down.
“Does he?” I asked mockingly. “I am beginning to think that he doesn’t know shit. The fucker didn’t even manage to get inside the fucking dungeon.”
I still couldn’t believe how incompetent he really was. He didn’t even notice that Dimitri’s men were following him everywhere he went. Stupid fucker.
Brody furrowed his brows and sighed.
“What will happen to him?” he asked.
“I don’t fucking care,” I said. “We don’t need him and we don’t need Janet. Their only fucking task was to keep her away from him. Janet’s only fucking task was to get her to leave the pack and she couldn’t even do that. I don’t need them. They are both fucking useless.”
The only thing Kendrick knew how to do was suck up and ask for money. He always believed that he had control over the Kingdom because he was sucking up to Janet and telling her what her mate should do. But Dimitri’s father was smarter than him. He let Janet believe that he was doing things her way when in reality he was doing the complete opposite. The funny thing was, neither Janet nor Kendrick ever noticed. They believed they were in charge and they never cared to actually look into what Alpha Dominic was really doing. Alpha Dominic was a lot of things, but he wasn’t a fucking idiot.
“So you will let Dimitri kill Janet and Savannah?” Brody asked, furrowing his brows. “What about your child? He needs his mother.”
I rolled my eyes at Brody.
“I am not even sure if that pup is mine,” I said. “Savannah fucked everything with a dick. Besides, Dimitri found him a good home. He is better off with them than with Savannah.”
I looked back out the window and smiled.
“Also, the only pups I will have will be with her,” I said and my heart skipped a beat. “She will be the mother of my children, no one else.”
“Kendrick never figured out that all of this was about her, did her?” Brody mumbled, making me look back at him.
I sighed and shook my head.
“I already told you that he is useless,” I said. “All he cares about is that throne and the power he thinks he would have over me. He completely missed the whole point.”
That throne would be mine, of course, but that was only an added bonus. My main prize was her. My main desire was her.
“And you let him believe that it was all about the throne,” Brody said, smirking a little. “That was smart.”
I laughed and leaned back in my chair.
“Of course it was smart,” I said. “I am not a stupid man, Brody. If I had told him what this whole thing is really about, he would never be so keen to help me. He wants her too. He believes that we will all have her. Do you think that he would be okay with me taking her for myself?”
Brody shook his head.
“His only motivation is power, Brody,” I added, sighing quietly. “Everyone is motivated by something. I was smart enough to use his motives to my advantage. Letting him believe that this was all about the throne and letting him believe that he would have some kind of power in my Kingdom was the best thing I could have done.”
Kendrick was so fucking easy to manipulate and so was Janet. When she saw how much she looked like her mother, Janet lost it completely. All she was talking about was Mike remembering his fated mate and wanting her. Sometimes I wondered if Janet even understood what being dead meant. But I wasn’t complaining. Her jealousy served its purpose.
Too fucking bad that neither Kendrick nor Janet completed their tasks completely. Both of them fucked up.
“What about the rogues?” Brody asked after a few moments of silence.
“Kill them all,” I said. “We won’t need them again after tonight and I am not paying them what I promised. I am not a fucking idiot.”
Brody furrowed his brows a little.
“Are you sure that we won’t need them?” Brody asked. “What if he attacks?”
I snorted and shook my head.
“He won’t get a chance to attack, Brody,” I said. “I will have what he treasures most. I will blackmail him and he will give me his throne in a blink of an eye.”
“And then?” Brody asked.
“And then I will kill him,” I said, smirking. “I will make him watch as I fuck his mate and then I will end his life. I will make him think that he will get her back, but that will never happen.”
I could already imagine it happening and I got hard instantly. I couldn’t fucking wait until I was buried deep inside her.
“I am excited for you, Alpha,” Brody said, giving me a small smile. “You deserve this.”
I smiled back at him.
“I deserve her,” I said. “She was always supposed to be mine. The Goddess made a mistake by giving her to him. She was meant to be mine and she would be mine.”
I looked through the window and took a deep breath.
Only a few more hours. Only a few more hours and she would finally be here. Only a few more hours and I would finally see her again. Only a few more hours and I would finally taste her lips.
I closed my eyes and tightened my jaw. Those few hours would be the longest and the slowest hours of my life.
