Verena woke up, a huge smile on her face. She felt energized doing a small stretch in bed. Her mood was sky high.
“What a beautiful morning.” She muttered, a smile planting sheepishly on her face.
Today was the day that slave would get beheaded. Poor Karen to have fallen so gullible, she had thought she was way smarter, but damn it, she still rule. Once his Fiance and will always be his Fiancee.
Verena couldn’t contain her happiness. Ever since that slave’s arrival, recalling how things had changed just in the days, weeks and month. She had thought she was going to loose the Alpha King forever.
But now, it was all over. Well, in a few hours it will be. Kai had moved her execution to the evening to give the newly mated pack members a little more time to spend together.
Speaking of mates, a frown came upon Verena’s face. She had hoped with all her heart that her mate will be Kai. But that didn’t happen. And she didn’t care to know who it was after all she had Kai.
One Knock. Twice. Thrice!
“Come in.” that was enough for Verena to speak out.
The door opened and Daisy, her personal maid walked in. “Good morning mistress.” Daisy said with a smile. “You look ravishing this morning ”
Verena laughed shyly, covering her mouth. “Thank you Daisy. Do you have all we need for the trip?”
Daisy nodded. “I packed a basket with the most essential things. Some food, water, and all that.”
“Excellent. We leave immediately, we have to be back in time for the execution.”
“Execution?” Daisy asked, tilting her head to the side.
Verena smiled knowingly. “Don’t worry, you’ll see it soon. Let’s go now.”
Daisy bowed. “Yes mistress.”
Daisy held the door open for Verena. She walked out of her room and Daisy fell in step behind her.
They walked through the halls, Verena recieving compliments about her glow. She smiled and replied charmingly.
They had no idea. Her glow was going to be permanent.
She and Daisy walked outside the pack house. The morning sun felt wonderful on Verena’s skin. She wanted to bask in it’s golden glow.
“Isn’t the sun lovely, Daisy?”
“Yes of course mistress.”
Verena hummed. They continued walking. Verena took extra time to enjoy the beauty of the forest that surrounded the pack house. She stopped and smelled flowers, watched the woodland creatures all while giggling to herself like a little child.
She walked with a purpose, knowing where to find what she was looking for.
She spotted it up ahead. The broken down wood cabin. She hummed even more to herself as she skipped to the cabin.
Daisy pushed open the rotting door, the sound it made dull. Verena walked in. The inside was as unimpressive as the outside. The roof had holes that filtered in the sunlight. Whatever furniture it had was gone. It used to be a get away house for some kids but apparently they had grown up and forgotten about it.
But her interest were the two men that stood waiting inside.
“Very good job boys ” Verena said proudly. “I didn’t expect it to go smoother than expected.”
The men smiled. “It’s all thanks to your plans, mistress.”
“And of course to my darling servant here, Daisy for a clever cover up.”
Daisy smiled shyly. “Please my mistress, all I had to do was Give Elise her food. It was all thanks to you.”
Verena secretly reveled in the praise. “Please stop.” She said. “It was a team effort an I’m really proud of all of you. Here,” She reached into her gown pocket and took out a huge wad of cash all in hundred dollar bills. She gave it to the men. “For a job well done. ”
“But mistress, this is way more than what we agreed on” one of them said, weighing the weight of the wad in his hand.
“Consider it an extra.” Verena said.
“Thank you very much mistress.”
Verena waved the praise away like it was nothing.
“I can understand why you wanted her gone ” One of the men said. This piqued Verena’s interest.
“Why?” She asked, her eyes narrowed a bit.
“She’s a freak, that girl.” The man tried to explain, looking at each other. “She had these strange powers, almost like mind control.”
“Tell me more.” Verena commanded.
“She told us to not move. And we couldn’t move. No matter how hard we tried. It took a while for it to wear off.”
Verena glanced at Daisy. “Are you kidding me?!” she gasped. She turned back to the men. “She can control minds?!”
“We think so, it was really weird.”
It all made sense to Verena now!
“It’s no wonder our alpha was so drawn to her! She was manipulating him! I knew it.” Verena bit her thumb. “I knew something was wrong! I’m so so glad she’s gone now!”
It was no wonder Kai cast her out so easily!
“Aside form that it was easy. We didn’t even have to touch her, everything just went smoothly.”
Verena clicked her tongue. “You didn’t touch her?”
The men shook their heads. Verena didn’t like that detail. She had hoped that Karen would suffer the sexual horrors Kai had suffered at the hands of her father.
But anyway, the job was down and it was done well. That bitch will be executed and Kai would he free of her mind control and manipulation.
Verena’s mind raced. Mind control?! Of all things!
Verena shook her head, determined not to spoil her mood. “Anyway, you boys can go now. Remember, nothing connects the both of us okay.”
The men nodded. “We’ll be leaving for the human world soon.”
“Not immediately.” Verena snapped. “That will be too suspicious.”
“Not now then.”
“Yes, that’s better.”
Verena smiled serenly, excitement bubbling inside her. “I can’t wait to tell daddy about everything! He’s going to be so happy his drugs worked!”
