Chapter 182
THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE
Chapter 0182
âI⦠I really donât get it.â
âDo you want to get rid of Ashanti or not?â
âI do now more than ever!â I say firmly, from the depth of my heart.
âGood. Come with me.â
She takes me to our private meeting spot.
âThereâs a competition to be hosted here this weekend. Itâs a competition between warriors who get to fight and the best fighters will receive handsome prices from the Alpha.â Iâm nodding my head as I listen to her attentively. âTwo important important guests, who happen to be Lycan Alphas have been invited and will be present. We are going to use them to finally get rid of Ashanti.â
âUh⦠how?â I ask unsure. The last we tried to use men to âget ridâ of Ashanti, the plan backfired and she had to end up killing an innocent girl just so our secret would not be spilled.
âPoison.â
âPoison?â I ask, aghast.
âYeah. We are going to poison the two Lycan Alphas and make it seem like Ashanti did it. She will never be able to escape judgment for a crime of that magnitude.â She says it like itâs going to be a walk in the park. I start shaking my head in denial.
âNo. No⦠thatâs too risky. We canât do that. If we get caught, itâll be over for us as well.â
âWe wonât get caught, okay. If Iâm bringing this up, it means I know how weâre going to go about it.
Iâve got a plan.â She tries to assure me, sounding confident as always. My body is shaking just thinking about what she wants us to do.
Poison two Lycan Alphas. Murder them.
Thatâs more of a suicide mission. Weâll be hanged in public if we get caught.
I shake my head in fear.
âAlina⦠I really do not think this is a good idea.â My voice is a nervous mess. Iâm shaking my head.
âIâm sure there are other ways for us to go about this. There must be something else we can do to get rid of Ashanti Something that has got nothing to do with murdering two Lycan Alphas.â My eyes are searching hers as I speak. She comes closer, holds both my shoulders in a tight grasp and stares deep into my eyes.
âYou might be a girl, but that doesnât mean you have to be a p u y, especially with everything thatâs going on in your life right now. Yes, the plan is risky. We will be publicly executed if we get caught trying to poison two Lycan Alphas. It wonât even end there, both our packs will be persecuted for being home and origin to people who attempted treason. Oh, itâs going to be messy! But whoever said weâd get caught? Yes, most of my plans to take Ashanti down have failed, but did I ever leave a trail that led the investigations to us?â She asks with raised brows. I swallow dryly and say;
âNo.â
âGood. History will repeat itself if our plan backfires.â Her hand drops from my shoulders and she takes a few steps back. âIâve never openly admitted this, and it kills me to do so now, but Ashanti is winning this fight. Alpha Reagan is deeply in love with her.â
âBut rumor says heâs lost interest in her. He no longer treats her nicely andâ¦â
âWhat theyâre going through now is what Iâll call a loverâs brawl. Theyâll be back together sooner or later. If that happens and in the end he chooses her as his mate⦠if Ashanti becomes Luna of this pack, then we can kiss our freedom
weâre behind every bad thing happening in her liye. Ashanti is not an idiot. She knows
in this H r e m. She knows weâre both responsible for Hayleyâs death. Sheâll make sure we pay for everything weâve done to her. The dungeon cells will become our new home. Thatâs if we donât get executed. We have to strike now before she strikes at us when she gets the chance!â She says fiercely and her words are nothing short of accurate.
Weâll be done for if Ashanti gains power over us. I canât even imagine the kind of punishment sheâll prepare for me. Goosebumps s c a t e down my spine at the thought of me kneeling down before her and begging her to have mercy on me. Iâll only let that happen over my dead body. I shoot Alina a determined look and nod my head. She immediately understands that Iâm in on it.
The plan is risky. Dangerous. Life threatening. Sacrilegious. But it has to be done.
âGood.â Her voice is calm and she looks more relaxed and composed. âFor now, I donât have al detailed plan on how itâs going to work, but I will in a few days. Just let me think some more. She comes closer to me and places her hand on my shoulder again. âLetâs do this together and get rid of her once and for all. When I finally become Luna, Iâll make sure your name is cleared and punish everyone who contributed to spreading those horrible rumours about you. I promise.â
âThank you.â
I smile for the first time today.
I canât wait to kick Ashanti off her high horse and drag her into the mud once again.
