It was all my plan

“Are you okay? Should I get the doctor?” Alejandro asked, stepping forward as he watched Sophia who was sprawled on the bed.

Sophia sat up, groaning slowly. “Check if there’s anyone around.” She whispered and although the was stunned, he headed out, checked around and returned when he didn’t see anyone.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you concerned about your health?” He asked and an evil smile made its way to her face. Alejandro staggered back, wondering if his sister had gone crazy.

“I’m okay….” She whispered cautiously and his brows creased as he fell to her side, grabbing her hand with astonishment.

“What are you talking about? You were poisoned yesterday…” Alejandro mumbled and she shook her head with her smile widening.

“I poisoned myself so I can frame that damned maid. I knew yesterday was her turn to cook, hence my decision.” She replied and he gasped, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

“Are you insane! Why would you risk your life just to frame a little maid! What the heck is wrong with you!” He couldn’t contain his anger.

“Shhhh… Don’t let Damien hear you. I had to do it.” She retorted and he rolled his eyes.

“Why? Why would you compromise your life just because you want to frame a maid I can easily take out… What’s her offense?” He asked and she sighed.

“Damien wants to cancel the engagement because of her. I’ve been seeing signs and last night, he had intentions to cancel the whole engagement.” She replied and he scoffed, bursting into laughter.

“Is this a joke to you? You think so highly of a maid. Why would Damien, a 500 year old Alpha, lose a great alliance and convenience marriage for a lowlife?”

“I don’t know! But you know he's strange… You know the only reason he agreed to the marriage was because you quit slave trading. He‘s having thoughts about her and I hate her guts. Whenever I’m around her, I just want to strangle and make her suffer.” Sophia replied, clenching her fists and Alejandro stretched out before he began prancing around.

“You could be overthinking. Damien isn’t stupid enough to throw business aside, he’s been alive for so long and of course we know about the curse, the goddess is going to kill any of mate he marks before he turns 700. He still has a long time to go, I’m sure he wouldn’t want to risk her life.” He tried to convince Sophia who scoffed.

“He choked me for hitting her and warned me never to touch what’s his. I’ve never seen him that angry before and it felt like I was speaking to a beast!” She sneered and his face turned dark.

“Something must be done about that maid. I can’t let her ruin what I’ve worked for. Do you know how difficult it is to run a business in secret? My profits have diminished…” He grumbled and she rolled her eyes, finding him as nothing but a greedy asshole.

“I have a plan… The maid has to go!”

“I can’t take her out, she’s in the dungeon and I don’t have any allies in this pack.” He replied and she chuckled.

“Oh please, you’re too weak to do anything in this pack… I have a great plan… A maid is going to take food to her but the Alpha needs to leave the pack for our plan to run smoothly. You’ll tell him I’m awake and together we’ll suggest going somewhere else and immediately we leave, the maid is going to strike. Even if he gets called, she’ll be long dead before his arrival.” Sophia explained and he nodded.

“I’m so proud to have you as my sister. I’ll go call Damien now. You must be the Luna at all cost… Nobody should know this but the reason he doesn’t want to create an heir is because it has always it’s known that his heir would be far more powerful. Imagine you birthing his heir, you will be known as the mother of one of the most powerful alphas.” He whispered and she chuckled, blushing heavily.

“Go now…” She whispered as she laid on the bed, she applied a little powder on her lips and under eyes, making them as pale as possible.

She lay on the bed, her eyes squinted as she looked pathetic. Damien walked inside, his face expressionless as usual.

Sophia couldn’t tell whether he was sad or happy. “I… I… I think I’m fine now…” She whispered weakly as she coughed.

Damien’s expression remained unchanged. “I’ll get the doctor to come check you…” He announced and she stretched out her hand feebly.

“I think it’s best if we go see the doctor… This makes me nervous… I have a dark feeling that the person behind my poisoning could come back to finish off where they stopped.” Alejandro pointed out and Damien squinted his eyes.

He didn’t argue, he only nodded softly. “I’ll get my keys.” Damien muttered and stepped out. He didn’t know what was wrong but he felt extremely restless, maybe it was because of the omega who had tried to kill Sophia.

He hadn’t gone to interrogate her, Seyric offered but he refused vehemently, knowing Seyric was going to torture her to death if she didn’t give him answers he wanted.

“Alpha, please can you give me permission to check on the maid? Don’t you think we’ve given her enough time? We need to find out which poison so Sophia can be cured…” Seyric pleaded as he joined me on my way to my room.

“Sophia is awake.” I replied without glancing and he gasped.

“That’s great… We should teach that maid never to tamper with food in this place… The last maid who poisoned food in this pack house, you killed her on the spot, why can’t you let me take care of this one?” Seyric demanded, a thin blade of frustration visible in his voice.

“Because she’s different. If I find out she’s guilty then I’ll chop her body into the number of packs in this world…” Seyric’s eyes widened because there were more than 30 packs.

“And if she’s not?” He treaded lightly because he could see something was off about his mood.

“That’s none of your business.” He replied and Seyric exhaled.

“But…”

“Instruct a maid to give her food. Keep an eye on the house, I’m heading out.” Damien cut off and Seyric frowned.

“Alpha…”

“Feed her, Seyric.” He gritted out, his fangs protruding and Seyric nodded weakly.
