CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVEN
HARLEY’S POV
“What the fuck is Diago doing here, he is Burke’s right-hand man and acting second in command; he will always pledge his loyalty to Burke,” I yelled, standing from the bed, as Diago came closer to me.
“He is on our side, Harley, you don’t have to worry,” Ava said, but I could see uncertainty in her eyes. He seemed like he had found some of Ava’s dirty works, and to keep his mouth shut, he made Ava an offer.
“What offer did he make?” I asked Ava and she swallowed hard.
“What are you talking about?” She asked, pretending to look confused.
Ava is a good actress but not to me. I can read her inside and outside, and she knows it; I just gave her a warning stare, and she rolled her eyes at me.
“You got me; Diago has dirt on me; he saw me sprinkling Tafana in Nikky’s juice,” Ava admitted, shrugging her shoulders.
“What are you gaining by joining hands without us because the position of the Alpha and the Luna has already been taken,” I said sternly, walking towards Diago.
“She is tougher than you, Ava; I already like her,” He said, chuckling.
I felt disgusted at his compliment, probably because he was hitting on Ava for years and after having sex with her, he dumped her. I hated him for that.
“That’s not the answer to my question, Ronaldo,” I spat out, looking into his eyes. We were already close enough that my breath touched his chest, but none of us thought it was sexual, he could feel my hatred for him.
“It’s Diago,” He correctly, angrily.
“I know, but your name is not worthy of my mouth yet; when it is, I’ll call your name correctly,” I said, enjoying the anger that was rising in his body. He felt like snapping my neck, but he wouldn’t, I’ll soon become Luna.
“I found out that Burke trusted Ava with all his life. I tried telling him that Ava was the devil, but I ended up being Brutally beaten and threatened to be taken to the dungeon if I made mention of Ava being a murderer,” He explained, ignoring my rudeness.
“That’s not enough reason, get the fuck out of here,” I said, pushing him by the chest.
“I don’t want to be among the losing team, that is why I’m switching sides, I don’t want to be Alpha or Luna, I want to be second in command, not just filling the position till Jack’s son comes off age,” He said, trying not to look afraid, but he was scared.
He was afraid of betraying Burke, and I didn’t want that, he could expose us because of fear.
“I don’t work well with pussies, Ronaldo, you look afraid of Burke’s wrath, so fuck off,” I said, sitting on the bed.
Ava looked at us in silence, not sure of who to support, or what to say to calm the air that’s filled with tension.
“I tell you again, my name is Diago and I’m not afraid of Burke, I would leave because I have Ava’s secret in my hand, if I fuck off right now, ilk surely see ways to implicate you and Ava, and you will go down with me,” He threatened, shoving his hands in his suit pocket.
I don’t respond well to threats because I hate and I’ll kill anyone who tries to threaten me, but Diago’s threat was reassuring that he is with us.
“I just hope this is not a big fucking mistake; welcome to the team,” I said, stretching my hands to him for a handshake.
“Thank you,” He said, taking my hands into his with a wide smile.
“I think you have a competition, do try and keep Burke, so my sister doesn’t win his heart again,” Diago said, walking towards the door.
“Tell your sister to back off; besides what would I do to keep a grown-ass man like him?” I asked, rolling my eyes.
“Fuck him,” Diago said, before leaving the room.
“He is right, Ava; seduce Burke and fuck the hell out of him,” Ava shoved in, lighting a cigarette in her mouth.
“I tried, but he didn’t even look my way,” I said, exhausted; I looked like a fool when Burke left me naked close to the river where Catherine’s ashes lay.
“Keep seducing him; he will fall for your darm-hit body,” Ava said, spraying her cigarette into the air aimlessly.
That was a good idea, so I quickly stripped naked covered myself with a robe, and took two bottles of champagne.
“Wish me luck,” I said, walking away from the room.
“Alright, I wish you bad luck,” Ava yelled after me, and I chuckled hearing her joke.
“Asshole,” I said to myself.
I got to Burke’s room and pushed it open without knocking, hoping to see him naked.
He wasn’t naked but shirtless, and my eyes were fixed on his perfectly developed muscles; the dragon tattoo was on his left chest, which ran to his left hand.
“Next time, knock,” He instructed, after seeing how I was drooling at his chest.
Immersion he picked up a black shirt and slipped it on.
“I don’t think there is any use for that,” I said, freeing myself off the robe, my breast sprung open, pointing at Burke.
Burke scoffed and poured some champagne into a glass cup; he slipped it, leaving me to stand naked.
“I am waiting for Nikky at the moment. She left the hospital without my knowledge, and now we are looking for her,” He said, breaking the silence, and he kept sipping the champagne.
“How does that have to do with the fact that a hot blonde girl is standing naked, in front of you,” I said, seductively, wiggling my breast at him.
Burke chuckled before speaking up again.
“Be reasonable, this is not the time to fuck Harley,” He groaned at me.
“But, Burke… ”
“Cover your body and get the hell out of my room,” He said, entering the bathroom.
“I can’t wait to suck the remaining life in you, so you will be happy with Catherine in the other world,” I said, angrily as I picked up my robe and wore it.
I dipped my hand into the pocket of the robe and found a portion El had given me years ago.
The portion was supposed to allow me to seduce and have sex with Burke, but he spilled the drink away the last time I did that.
“Today he might drink the champagne,” I said to myself, sprinkling some of the portion into his glass of champagne.
