Mated To Alpha Gregory

Unknown pov;

I knew that something was going on when she had that look in her eyes again. It was the same kind of look she had the day I went to the conference room.

She was bottling up those emotions and I had never seen my brother so angry as he was then. He must really love her a lot. Too bad that she doesn’t feel the same way towards him.

She was like a puppet, the perfect one if I really wanted to get to our brother, and one brother was too in love to want to pull the strings. That was where I was going to have to come in.

Not even the others would see this coming. I smiled to myself as I removed the phone from my pocket and dialed an all-too-familiar number.

The phone rang for a while before he picked up.

“Have you heard of our brother’s wife?” I said and the person on the other end of the line grunted.

“What wife?”

“He is about to take a queen. Now, that’s not the problem. The thing is that she is an Omega. You heard about the recently executed beta of the Greenforest Park. She’s the daughter.”

He was silent for a while and knowing him, I believed that he was thinking about something.

“How does this concern me? If he wants to take a weak thing as his mate, that should be his business, not mine. Why are you calling me, Brother ?”

“I think, we can use her to our advantage. We’ve been looking for his weakness for a while now and I think I finally found it,” I smiled as I thought about the ways I was going to make Adams suffer.

It was something I had been thinking about for a while.

“Anyways, I think we should have a meeting. All of us. We can’t let Adams do with this kingdom as he likes..”

“What is your plan, brother ?” He was beginning to sound angry and I understood that he was impatient. That was his problem, he was impatient and had a shallow mindset.

That was how Raoul was. He was the third one of us and my direct immediate brother. He never really wanted to see plans for their long-term values. He was only after the immediate gain.

“That’s your own problem, brother. Just ensure you attend the meeting. I will communicate the date and time to you all soon.”

He was muttering something that sounded like a curse and I realized that it was because he must’ve gone to one of his useless tours again and he didn’t want to be disturbed.

There was a knock on my door and I groaned as I thought of who it could be. I had instructed the guards stationed in front of my door to not let anyone in as I had a lot to do.

I wondered if it was our other brother who had returned and was already stirring up troubles. I had heard that he had been meeting with the Alpha of Silvercrest Park.

After what had happened in Greenforest Park, I was more than sure that he must’ve had a hand in that. Perhaps, he was coveting the throne for himself. But if anyone should get the throne, it was to be me. It had to be me. I wouldn’t let someone else take that from me.

“Come in,” I said after a while as there was another loud knock this time.

I muttered a string of curses as I pushed the file I had been looking at away. Everything was going according to planned and I was sure that Adams wasn’t suspecting a thing, at least not yet.

“Your Highness,” the familiar female voice spoke as she bowed and I smiled as I regarded her.

The moment I set my eyes on her, I was certain that she would be perfect for the job and it turned out that I wasn’t wrong. She had been nothing short of perfect. How she had managed to be the new queen’s personal maid was something I didn’t understand.

She had assured me that she was going to get close to her. I had told her that it was dangerous and she had to leave, but she had refused and told me to trust her.

“Don’t call me that. Someone might hear.”

“But you’re supposed to be the King. The position is yours. you’re the perfect king.”

“If you say so, my queen.”

I bridged the gap between us, claiming her lips with mine as I slowly savored the taste of her lips.

I glanced and the door as I tried to pull away, but she drew me back, deepening the kiss.

“The door…” I rasped and she shook her head.

“Don’t worry. No one’s going to come in.”

“I’ve missed you,” she said as we pulled away, panting for breath.

“Not as much as I have.”

“Your brother came to see me. I think the head maid works for him.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

My brows pulled together into a frown as I wondered why my brother would see her. Unlike him, I had stayed calm and was just like a ghost, even at the wedding.

I was aware that Adams did not trust me, but seeing as I had seemed to busy myself with other affairs like the bars and the women, although I was faithful to only one woman, my mate who had done a lot to help me, even when it was extremely risky.

“I didn’t get a chance to tell you earlier…”

“What does he want?” My tone was harsh and I internally berated myself.

“He wants me to report her every move, in fact, everything about her. According to him, even her…”

“Like a spy?”

Her eyes lit up. “Yes!”

“And…”

She interrupted me quickly. “I think it’s best if we play along. I’ll earn his trust and find out what exactly he is up to and get back to you.”

I furrowed my brows as I thought about what she had just said. It sounded meaningful. It was a good idea and I nodded.

“But it’s risky. If you’re caught….”

“I won’t be caught.”

“Is there a point in arguing with you?”

She gave me that look. The same look she normally gives that I’d know that nothing I do or say would be able to convince her otherwise.

“Be safe, please,” I said, peering into her eyes and she nodded as she smiled.

“Oh, I need to leave now. I had to convince the guards here that I came to give you what the queen had personally requested,” she said and turned to leave.

“What is the queen like?”

She stopped and turned around. “I think she’s traumatized and has built a wall around herself. I don’t think there’s a way anyone can break that.”

“Why do you think my brother wants you to keep an eye on her?”

“The same reason I wanted to be close to her. He wants to use her against Adams. But I have a plan. Your brother wants her to be his puppet. It’s not going to work. I’ve seen the look in her eyes. She’s determined.”

“What’s your plan?” I said as I took long strides forward to meet her. She spun around immediately, facing me.

“Finding out what your brother really wants as I feel like he has a greater plan. That’s not all, we have to get the support of some of the council members and introduce a perfect candidate for a queen. We need to make everyone see that having an Omega who came from a family of traitors is not really advisable as it’s going to taint our reputation.”

I furrowed my brows. It was a good plan, but seeing how madly in love Adams was, it wasn’t going to be a good plan.

“We could get caught.”

“We won’t. We will continue, just like before. Just like with the issue of the funds. Has he caught on yet? Just trust me! All we have to do is remain in the shadows and let everyone else do the work for us. There is your brother and there are also others.”

I shook my head. The plan was too risky and I didn’t even have any atom of idea on how she was going to get it done. It wasn’t going to be too early to let someone else do our dirty job without revealing ourselves.

“It’s risky. I don’t want to push our luck. I believe we were lucky the last time,” I voiced out my concern.

That was the problem with Sheila. She was really overconfident and sometimes, it scared me.

“Don’t worry and just trust me.” She leaned in closer to me and whispered her plans to me.

I shook my head. No matter how good the plan was, I just couldn’t let her go through with it. It was too risky and if something should happen to her, I would never be able to forgive myself.

“No. Don’t.”

“I’m going ahead with it. With or without your approval.”
