The Alpha’s Arranged Bride

Alpha Toot’s POV

I quickly grabbed my envelope from the table, standing up the next minute, and heading into the mansion. With quick strides, I headed for my private chamber. The moment I got in, I placed my glass down on the table and quickly opened the envelope. I needed to know what it was. This was my chance. Since we sent the proposals, I have not gotten a reply from him. He had constantly ignored it, and now that he had sent a response for the first time, it could only mean one thing, but I had to confirm it.

I read through the letter, and indeed it was what I had expected and wanted all this while. I turned to Finn and stroked a nod, which he quickly understood. We have set the plan. While other packs focused solely on their alliances, I, Alpha Toot of the Midnight Pack, chose to play by my own rules.

If not, I would not win. I played the alliance between pack and Rogue. It was the fastest and the best way to win against Alpha Caramel, who headed the Shadow pack. As much as I did not want to admit it openly, it was the strongest pack in the werewolf world. Caramel had built his pack from brick to brick. Despite the war, he was still able to strengthen his pack with the years. Security was so tight that even for me, it was hard to get in.

To win the war I wished to wage against them, I can not take the usual approach. I can not act like a sensible person. I can not play according to the rules. I had to play according to my rules and outside the box. That was the only tactic that would get me to where I wanted to be quicker. It was a tough alliance.

Rogues hate being controlled, and they only attack when they have a purpose. They were greedy beings, and I at first decided to give him some of Shadow pack once we conquered it, but that did not fly with him. To give it some added measure, I decided to include marriage because most rogues find it hard to mate, so an arranged marriage was enticing to them. At that time, I had no idea that I had a daughter, but I would have found someone to play the role perfectly.

However, he saw through it. He did not send any response to me, so I had to go there personally. Upon arriving at the boundary, I was refused entry, but he directed one of the warriors to convey to me that he was aware of my deception. No one had heard anything about a daughter from my family, so it was only bait for him. I had thought rogues were stupid, but he proved me wrong with that.

As though the universe was backing me up, almost at the same time as me getting that information, the news of Lavender got to my ears. It was perfect timing.

I sent the proposal again because I already knew the news of Lavender being my daughter must have gotten to his ears. The alpha rogue did not respond to me, so I had to make another offer. By marrying Lavender, he could have half of Shadow pack.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

I knew that I could propose just taking over the pack, but I wanted to see Alpha Caramel suffer. I knew with the way he protected her, and the information that Finn gave to me, he loved her. I could see it in his eyes. I smelt it in him. He was in love again, and what better way of making him suffer before death than seeing the one he loves married to another person? He was going to shatter, and it would be way easier to kill him without him even trying.

This plan had been in session for a very long time and was close to making it come to pass. I had to pretend that I cared for Lavender, so she would behave. I needed the alpha rogue to believe me and help me eliminate Alpha Caramel forever. I still remember how he had disrespectfully rejected my offer to give up his pack.

When I became Alpha, I knew I needed to conquer as many packs as possible by merging them into mine. The first pack I admired was the Shadow pack. Alpha Caramel was newly crowned as the Alpha. He had only been one year in the office, and he was doing great things for his pack. In no time, everyone heard and respected him.

Despite this, I knew he was still grieving the loss of his mate, so I called him. He came but bluntly refused my offer. I wanted to use his emotions against him telling him by offering alliance, joint pack and that the position was going to be too much for him, and it would always remind him of how his mate died but he was adamant to the point of insulting me.

I was not done with the meeting when I received the information that they had found Joanna that the information I gave was correct. I excused myself and left immediately to handle her. At the back of my mind, I thought when I came back, he would have changed his mind and accepted my proposal. But, on that day I lost two things.

One, I did not kill Joanna, and two, I could not take over his Pack. I never forgave him for it, and we will never until I see him dead. Finn had his own reasons for backing me up, but I had never asked, and would never ask because I do not want to admit that I was insulted by that man. I could already see him begging for us to let him go. I knew how unstable he was already that Lavender was not with him. He must be raving mad by now.

The council was not even in support of him getting married to Lavender so I believe they were making things a little difficult for him so before he would even think of trying to get her back, should have been long gone with the Alpha rogue, and maybe, we would have already attacked and conquered his pack.

Then he would not be able to do anything to me or anyone. It was only a matter of time before it would all be over. I would accomplish all I have wanted, and I would not need that coward of a son to accomplish it.

I glanced at the letter one more time, and a smile appeared on my face. The Alpha Rogue was a proud man, and that was the person I wanted to work with. He had enough warriors to take down the pack. Alpha Caramel’s warriors were people who cherished dignity, and the right path, but rogues do not have such a notion. They believed in any way that would bring them to victory, bad or good. They had no law guiding them. The only person they respected was the Alpha, and that was it. They were going to help me get what I have always wanted. I placed the letter down, and Finn spoke.

“So what is the next step?” He asked, and I smiled before sipping my glass of wine.

Alpha Caramel loved and protected his pack, and people, but I was going to rip it out of his grip while he watched me. “Simple,” I paused. “Get Lavender mated to the Alpha rogue, and destroy Alpha Caramel, and his pack,” I said.

“What?” a voice came from the door.
