Chapter 105
Dimitri:
“What do you mean that Sergio is dead?” I asked, frowning at Marcello who shook his head. “The man is one of our closest associates, how the fuck did we not hear of this?”
“They kept it concealed and quiet. Up until the past few days, no one knew of it, and when their doctor checked, the man has been announced dead for at least two weeks.” He said, making me frown. “Alaria has been keeping his b*dy from his family’s eyes to ensure that she allowed Antonio the chance to mourn. But that gives us another problem to deal with.”
“And that is?” I asked, shaking my head in question.
“While we knew what Sergio was always up to and we were able to keep a close bond, I cannot say the same about his son.” He said, knowing that Alaria was one of his consorts. The two of them never thought of marrying, but everyone knew that as his consort controlled all, and that included the fact that he had no other kids from the other women that he had in his home.
“Luka.” I said, and he nodded. I pinched the bridge of my nose, knowing that the man has caused us more trouble over the years, trouble that his father had to fix, because of how spoiled he was. Dealing with him now was something that I didn’t want, and I knew for fact that it was something that Alaria had a lot to do with.
“We are going to have to manage this alliance somehow. And if Alaria is smart, she is not going to have her son lose his ONLY strong ally. As you may know, she is weak without him, but he is stronger with her on his side, weakening him with her is going to turn him against us.” I said, tapping my desk twice as I tried to think. I wasn’t speaking to Ivan, but I knew that this was something that he had to know. And considering that Luka is going to attend the wedding as to represent his family, I doubted that the man was going to enjoy seeing him when he was against everything that we worked for.
“What about a woman?” Marcello asked, making me frown in confusion as he snapped me out of my thoughts. I shook my head in question, and he smirked.
“Alaria would only be stopped IF he falls for a woman. Why not have one who is from our side? She is going to be smart enough to report to us, to push Alaria back, and if she gives him a son, she will guarantee a lot more for us. But you know, we are going to have to be

sure that Alaria doesn’t push the woman away before the man impregnates her.” Marcello suggested, making me smirk. “And we do not need her to be Ms. Charlotte.”
“What does Charlotte have to do with this?” I asked, shaking my head in question. The fact that her name keeps popping whenever we try to ignore her existence was something that annoyed me, but I knew that she was far too big of a threat for me to just let things slide as easily as I wanted them to. Her father and step mother were also a threat to me and that was something that I couldn’t deny.
“Ademide was seen with Alaria a few weeks ago. Right after Sergio’s disappearance. Rumors. have it that it was her who gave him the poison. And to send Charlotte away, to legitimize the Alpha blood of Luka, as you may know, he a consort’s son, and to have Ademide’s children being Alphas, they need to get rid of Charlotte. She is of pure blood, and if she is within the pack, it belongs to her if her father dies.” Marcello explained..
“That requires her father to die first,”
“And if he dies right after Luka and her have mated or at least have eloped, she has lost her claim. So far, rightfully, she has no title, I doubt that Ademide knows that as she still is your consort. But if we play Charlotte, and if we manage to keep her away from Luka, then things are going to be easier for us to handle.” He said, and I frowned in confusion.
“You expect the woman to kill her husband? Mind you, she is a human, and I doubt that her sons would be allowing it. You know how attached to their father they are, and killing him. will only sentence her to death.” I said, and he nodded.
“She can poison him. Send a maid to his room and fake his death by her hand, and she is widowed. Her sons will not know a thing about it, and she will have one of them as Alpha. IF her sons take over as Alphas, then we are going to be attacked from two different packs. She can arrange that Charlotte and her brothers make peace as an Alpha and an Alpha’s Luna. And with her hatred to us…”
“She is going to act foolishly and without much thought.” I said, pinching the bridge of my nose. I got up and nodded, knowing that he was right.
“What do you suggest that we do? Because I know for fact that Charlotte is not going to listen to fake bargains right now.” I said, and he nodded.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Luka. And if you give her the freedom that she desires, then things are going to turn in our favor.” He said, and I took a deep breath.
“In exchange of what though? Charlotte doesn’t care about her freedom.” I said, knowing the woman by heart. She aimed for more than just being an Alpha, and that was something that I knew.
“You have her under your protection.” He said, making my heart drop as I knew that this was going to be something that will hurt Aurora. I knew that she wasn’t going to understand what it is that I am doing, and I didn’t even know how am I to explain it to her if I wanted. to. “It is the only way, Alpha.”
“I will think about it,” I said, shaking my leg under the desk before getting up from my chair. “For now, we are going to keep this silent. I will see what I can do about Charlotte. But until that happens, I want no one to know about Luka taking place. When Alaria announces it, the man wouldn’t dumb to lose alliances in public. We are going to wait. In the mean time, find him a woman that you can trust and see that she enters his bed.”
“I will deal with the rest from my side…”
