The Calm Before the Storm

Beware this is a very short chapter.

I sat in the quiet of of my study, fingers drumming lightly on the armrest of the chair. The silence was suffocating. I'd been waiting for this moment, meticulously planning every detail—every little piece of the puzzle. Avery Matthews was supposed to disappear. My plans had been so perfectly executed, so seamless. It should have worked.

But it hadn't.

My jaw tightened as I thought back to the day Avery had gone to the clinic. I had orchestrated everything down to the smallest detail—generate an early miscarriage, a quick and clean end to the problem. Avery wouldn't be able to carry the child. The poison in her system would take care of everything, and in a few days, it would claim her too.

With her gone, no one would be the wiser. But that brat left the territory before I could confirm her death.

Camden would have finally been free.

But now? Now, Camden's son was alive, and Avery was still here. It made my stomach churn with frustration. I had been so sure.  I trusted that stupid doctor would do his part, slip something into Avery's system that would be hard to trace, something that would quietly end the pregnancy without raising suspicion but clearly, he had underestimated the strength of the alpha's bloodline.

Avery's wolf—Camden's bloodline—had been too strong.

The baby's heartbeat had slowed, yes—but it hadn't stopped. And now, the very thing I feared the most was happening: Camden was more determined than ever to keep Avery close.

My fingers tightened into fists. Camden and his perfect little family. This pack had taken everything from me.

My hard work, years and years of planning, of revenge Avery had come in and ruined everything.

I pushed my anger aside, breathing deeply to calm myself. It wasn't over yet. There was still time to fix this.

The child. Avery's son. I could still use him to my advantage. The plan wasn't ruined yet. Camden may have his precious boy, but he wasn't going to get the happy family he dreamed of. Not if I could help it.

The doctor had failed, but that wasn't the end. There were other ways. There always were. Avery would have to leave—whether she wanted to or not. She had no place here, not with Maddison's future in the balance. I would see to that. There was still so much I could do. The pack wasn't as loyal as they seemed, and I  had a way of twisting people to my will. I always have.

I looked over at my daughter Maddison, her face was turned into a scowl as she prepared for the next phase of our plan.

This stupid pack had taken my mate destroying my family. It took years of planning to slowly infiltrate and take over.

My first goal was simple- destroy everyone who had hurt me, but things changed. The power I held, if i could secure that for Maddison then we'd be unstoppable. I would never let this opportunity slip through my fingers.

I stepped away from the window, the sound of my heels clicking sharply against the polished floor as I moved to my desk. The papers were still there, the forged documents, the hospital records, the pamphlets. They were remnants of the old plan.

But now, we had to adjust. Camden was already questioning things. He was suspicious of the situation, and that could cause complications if I wasn't careful.

I leaned over the desk, staring at the documents, feeling the familiar surge of power.

I'll make sure Avery understands that she doesn't  belong here. And Camden? He'll see. He'll understand that Maddison was the one who has always been by his side.

This was nothing but a brief interruption.

To think my blades would be on her skin, ripping and tearing it open very soon. All that crimson liquid running down her ugly and pasty looking skin.
