She was here to discuss something that had soured her entire day.
Lucia was the first one to enter, the door closing softly behind her. “I hope you have a good reason for this began.
“He’s leaving!” Ayla exclaimed. She leaned forward against the table. “He’s actually going away! For an extire week!”
Lucia blinked in surprise, then eased her way into the room with much regret. “Who…?”
“Lucas!” Ayla snapped. “And I’ve attached a line to the foundation’s phones and hear– ”
“Hold on,” Lucia said, “what on earth is happening?”
“Lucas is heading off to England for a week,” Kaine said as he walked into the room. “This presents to us with a perfect opportunity to disrupt this new policy of this.” 2
“Never mind all that!” Ayla snapped and waved a dismissive hand. “I overheard from the phones in New Dawn that Elaine is also going to England.”
Kaine set his coffee down on the table. “She’s going to a conference for Alphas?”
“The lucky bitch,” Ayla muttered under her breath, crossing her arms. “I can’t let her go. Who knows what she and Lucas will be talking about!”
“How did you learn of this information?” Kaine asked.
“I bugged their phones so I can listen into all their conversations,” Ayla said with an ease someone would use when discussing the weather. Kaine closed his eyes briefly, when he opened them, he simply pretended he hadn’t
heard that.1
“Right. Well, it seems we are both presented with an opportunity,” Kaine said.
“Revenge, yes! I was already thinking the exact same thing,” Ayla said.
Lucia chuckled in amusement as she leaned back in her chair. “Were you now? You taking revenge? For what?”
“For her stealing him away from me! He’s willfully going,” Ayla said, distressed. Even though Lucas had no idea Elaine would be attending that event.
Kaine hummed thoughtfully. If Ayla truly wanted revenge, they could arrange for something. Something that takes care of her little Alpha problem. And theirs as well. The only way to ensure this policy never went through… would be to make sure Lucas wasn’t around to push for it.
