The Designated Mate novel Chapter 73

Oh no, this time he's going to walk right into my trap. I just have to figure out how to make it happen.

"Firstly, I need to know what this Poppy woman looks like. Can you supply me with a recent photo?" I asked, praying that this man wasn't as big of an imbecile as I'd pegged him to be.

"Uh..." he rattled off while racking his brain. I couldn't contain my need to roll my eyes. I was surrounded by fucking idiots. "Oh, wait!" He finally exclaimed before snatching his phone from his front pocket and feverishly tapping on the screen. He found what he was looking for before sliding the device across the top of the dining table. "Her father sent me this photo for consideration when we were first discussing the deal. It's only about a month old," he explained as I picked up the phone. I was thankful that we were in my personal quarters with just the two of us instead of the pack house where we'd be surrounded by many. I swallowed the lump in my throat as my pants tightened painfully over my groin.

Well, now I fully understood Alpha Williams's urgency to get her back. I mean just look at those tits! And those hips - fucking A - they were made to carry children. I bet she's a lot of fun in the sack, too.

I licked my lips in a predatory manner, something that caused Alpha Williams to clear his throat and glare at me with just enough annoyance to not provoke me. I raised a single brow at him, changing my previously formulated plan in my head. I would help Alpha Williams take down my nephew alright, but only because I would be taking this Poppy chick for myself. She would bear strong pups and, quite frankly, that's all I cared about. And oh how fun it would be to fuck her knowing I'd ripped her right out from that little asshole's grip. Yes, I can just fucking taste the victory now.

"This is incredibly helpful, thank you. I will make you aware, however, that this is to be a very private investigation. I don't want anyone else besides you, me, and some of my men to know what is going on. Are we clear?" I asked to which he nodded. "Wonderful. Once you're finished with your meal, meet me in my office to discuss-"

I let myself sink down into the plush office chair, crossing my legs at my ankles and leaning back. I linked my hands behind my head and laughed jovially. Somehow, things always managed to work out perfectly for me. It was amazing, really. I would keep my pack and even continue to expand, finish Knox off for good, and have a fun little toy to mess around with before she carried my kid and I disposed of her.

I daydreamed for a little while until I heard three petite knocks on the wood of the door.

"Come in," I called out, sitting up to resume the intimidating posture that I normally carried. A head of blonde hair peeked into my office momentarily before two females emerged. I ran my tongue over my bottom lip before scraping it with my top row of teeth. God damn, she looked even more delicious in person.
