Chapter 115
Katherine:
“We were loyal to you, and you promised to keep us safe…”
“I kept you safe, and I am not kicking you out on the streets. But you are going to need to prove to me that you are indeed, loyal.” I said, looking at the nurses that dared speak. “Somehow, you managed to hang the doctors. You claim to have been scared that they were going to turn their backs on you. Understandable, and I am not going to ask further questions on the topic. However, how am I going to be sure that you won’t turn your backs
on us?”
Jacob was quiet, watching me as he waited to hear what the girls would say. The fact that he was allowing me to take charge of this told me that things were moving in my favor, and that was the first step to get where I wanted. Though I knew not to hold onto the thought of him trusting me too much, I knew not to lose hope in what he was doing. Giving him what he wanted was going to be the one way to get through this.
“We can tell you where the secret doors are. You are going to be able to get into the pack and out of it without being caught. And if you are lucky enough, you can sneak inside and kill them. The front door would be heavily guarded, but the secret doors…”
“And do you really believe that Enzo is foolish enough not to think of that? And even if he is, he has Viktor and Leonardo. They are going to guide him to what he wants and needs to hear. What the f uck are you thinking…?”
“Matias is also back.” One of the nurses said, and I cursed under my breath. This was the last thing that I needed.
“Who is that
wanted to nod at the Jacob asked from behind me. I stayed quiet for a moment and though I
wanted to nod at the girls to leave; I knew not to. He would want to hear of this and he was going to want to know who the man was. I needed him to be in the picture, especially if I was going to use it in my favor. Matias was not a man to mess with, but Jacob was going to be powerful enough to fight him when I can’t.
“He is Enzo’s uncle. Technically, not an uncle. His father’s best friend and he raised him alongside his father. He was the pack beta at the time, and even after his father’s death, he wouldn’t let him go. He benefited from his experience, and being the past Capo dei Capi’s second hand, it helped him out.” I said, looking at Jacob. He raised an eyebrow, and I took a deep breath.
“It seems to me that we have another problem to get rid of, don’t we?” He asked, and I nodded.
“Yasmin is also here.” Inna said, making me raise an amused eyebrow. The fact that the little
wolf was here told me that this was going to be a lot more fun. She was still a teenager, easy to fool. Her eighteen years were not going to be enough for her to be experienced, and that would be something that I was going to have to make use of.
“And who is that?” Jacob asked, addressing the question to me, noticing my expression.
“The one weakness that Matias has.” I said, and he smirked. “I know how we are going to tie the ba stard. But it is going to depend on how we are going to be able to lure her in. That is going to be the
ONLY difficult part. As being like her father, she is strong and smart, but even she can be fooled. Especially IF she thinks that she is playing smart.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“And how do you intend on dragging her in?” Jacob asked, and I smiled, shaking my head. I took his hand in mine, gently massaging it. He looked at me, his eyes meeting mine, and I smiled when he brought my hand to his lips, gently pressing his lips on my knuckle as he kissed me.
“You can leave that up to me. I am going to do what I do best.” I said, and he raised an amused eyebrow.
“And that is?” He asked, pulling me to him. He didn’t even care that the nurses were watching as he had me straddling his lap. I grinded myself against him as he connected his lips with mine, stopping me from completing my sentence. He pulled away from me and looked at the girls, wanting them to leave.

“You leave. Tell them that Luna Katerina has assigned four rooms in the maid dorm for you.” I said, and Jacob raised an eyebrow at me, wanting to understand what I was doing. However, he didn’t speak.
We both waited until the door was closed, leaving the two of us alone before I got up from his lap. Jacob shook his head in question, crossing his arms over his chest as he waited for what I was going to say.
“You are assigning maids or nurses within the pack now?” He asked, and I shook
my head. “I am not that stu pid, Jacob.” I said, and he chuckled. He stood up, and I looked up at the staircase to catch sight of Alonso who was looking down at us as if wanting to know what we were doing. I smiled at him, and Jacob called him down to come.
Thankfully, the two of them were starting to grow used to one another, and even Alonso was no longer afraid of him.
“Hey, little bud.” Jacob said, lifting Alonso in his arms. My son wouldn’t look at me, and though I didn’t press on him to do so, I had to admit that it broke me inside to see him reacting this way. But I couldn’t blame him. I brought this fate on myself.
“Is there anything that you need, Alonso?” I asked, my voice softening as I looked at my little
boy. He looked at me, allowing me the chance to look into his eyes before he nodded.
“I am bored, and I want someone to play with me.” He said, and Jacob chuckled. “Uncle Damon says
says he can’t, and the maids are all busy. Can you play with me?”
“Alright, how about you let mom and I finish what we are doing and we can play out in the garden? What do you think?” He asked, and Alonso smiled and nodded. He looked at me for a moment as Jacob put him down and I put my hand on the crown of his head, gently ruffling his hair before he walked toward the stairs where his maid was waiting for him.
Both Jacob and I watched as he walked up before I turned my attention to the man. His met mine and my eyes hardened.

“I am going to need someone who knows the new Estate, and they are the only ones to do so. And after I am done with getting what I want, what we need; their bodies are going to be sent as a present to the Alpha.” I said, and Jacob smirked. “I just need to get the beta’s daughter first. ONLY then would I be able to act.”
“It is time for Enzo’s reign to come an end.” I said, watching as Jacob slowly approached me. “But I might be enjoying a little pain for him while I’m at it…”
