Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien) novel Chapter 146

Bram sat at his desk in the office. His mind was spinning with more plans and possibilities because his first plan was successful. It had been two weeks since Maris had gone to her father and convinced him She did her part well to spread the word about Lucien’s supposed use of dark magic. He knew that the seeds of doubt were planted, but he needed more. He had to do something which would force Lucien to be distracted. Only if Lucien focused on something else, it would create the opening he needed.

With that in mind, he called Maris’s father, and said politely, “If possible, let’s meet at your place, instead of mine. Your ally Alphas have packs closer to your pack.”

“Sure son!” his father–in–law replied. “You are very considerate.”

As Bram disconnected the call, he smirked. “Foolish, old bastard!”

The main reason for him to go to the Iron Pine pack was that he had planned something sinister, and it had to be done quietly. No one could know what he was going to do next. It didn’t matter if everyone knew what he was doing against Lucien, but his main plan had to stay hidden. Josh was already away on the borders of the Shadowfang pack with a team of five wolves. Away from his wife. He didn’t want his Beta to stick his nose in his plans.

As he traveled to the Iron Pine pack in his car, he stopped midway where he had to meet a few rogues. These were Maris’s acquaintances. He chuckled. He didn’t know that they would be so useful. The rogues were all hiding in the places he had asked, so as soon as he was in the middle of the forest, they came over to him. He handed them fifty thousand dollars and said, “You know what you have to do. Do it nicely and don’t falter. Get everyone who you know to help you. I will send you more money.”

The rogues nodded. They took the money and disappeared into the forest. Bram watched them, leaning against his car. Hẹ had withdrawn his pack’s treasury money, which was ultimately embezzlement. But he didn’t care.

As he made his way toward the Iron Pine pack, the sky turned dark. He knew that the rogues would be close to the Shadowfang pack by now. He was tense, wondering if this would work. It was a risky move, but it had to work. He had to divert Lucien’s attention just long enough to make the rest of the alphas attack him. And then he would carry out his final blow. A smile spread on his lips.

Maris came inside the room, and I had to stop my gag at her horrible smell. “I hope things are going according to your plan.”

“Yes,” he replied. “Your father has called his allies. We will have a meeting soon.”

She nodded tightly. “You kept your promise, right? You didn’t reveal my secret to anyone?”

He gave her a hard look. “Of course, I haven’t. Why would I? As long as you keep your side of the bargain, Maris.”

She swallowed hard. She pursed her lips and then went out. She knew that her marriage was on rocks. Where was Josh? Only if she could convince him of doing it.

The meeting with the Alphas took place in the evening. It was decided that they would’attack Lucien in four days. Since he was a powerful Alpha, and since they would be breaching the treaty, the attack had to be sudden. They had to take Lucien by surprise.

After the meeting, Maris returned to the Crimson Howl pack along with Bram. They didn’t talk at all during the ride. However, as soon as they returned, Maris went to Hyra.

“I can’t contact Josh. Do you know where he is?” she asked, panic rising in her chest.

Hyra whined, “Alpha has sent him to the borders to the Shadowfang pack to monitor the activities there.”

“What?” Her heart skipped a beat. Did Bram want Josh to be killed in the attack? That fucking cunning bastard. She wouldn’t let him kill Josh.

“Just do what I’ve asked you to, okay. And be discreet, okay?” The mobile had a secret number which only she knew about.

“No!” I growled. I wasn’t going to let them enter my pack. “They can go to hell. We don’t need traders!”
