Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate

#Chapter 132- Radio Silence

“You’re sure this will work?” I ask, studying a bottle of viscous liquid labeled with swirling text in a language I neither speak nor understand.

“Entirely.” Jax – for that’s the only name he ever gave me – answers. The big bear is covered in tattoos from head to toe, and thus far he’s the only member of the Calypso pack from the lower city who I’ve dained to meet.

It was dumb luck that I found him at all. After a particularly tense dinner with Blaise, who seems to be the kind of man who believes the best way to keep his women in line is through violence, I decided to invest in a bit of insurance. I’m not sure the Alpha would ever raise his hand against me, but he has no problem raising them against his concubines. I watched him half-strangle the one delivering his steak simply because she placed his knife on the wrong side of his plate.

Part of me likes knowing he doesn’t hold back his dominance, especially with the kind of immoral women who would agree to debase themselves for his pleasure, but I haven’t survived this long by underestimating the cruelty of others. Quite the contrary, I assume everyone is a threat until proven otherwise, and Blaise offers more evidence than most.

“This drug was made to treat depression,” Jax is explaining. “But apparently it worked too well when it came to making people forget their troubles. It was found to have such major impacts on memory function that it was pulled from the market within weeks.”

“it will make him forget everything?” press, already prepping a needle to inject Bastien. This first time I’ll have to dose him intravenously. but Jax assures me it can be injected directly in the future. A few drops in his morning coffee, and Bastien will be the perfect puppet for my plans.

After all, if I want the Nova pack to accept me as their leader, the Alpha’s endorsement will go a long way.

Once I’ve gotten rid of Selene and the brat, I can begin my conquest, eventually phasing out Bastien as Alpha and making him suffer every step of the way. It really is a blessing that he turned up here. Away from the Novas, I can convince him of whatever I want, and by the time we go back to Elysium, he’ll be so convinced of my trustworthiness that nothing anyone else says will matter. I’ll control

him completely. The hard part is going to be keeping him away from Blaise.

Jaz’s reply tugs my thoughts back to the present. “Well not everything. It will only take him back a certain distance. His long term memory will be fine, it’s his short term that will be affected.”

This stops me short, “I need him to drop back at least seven years.” To before he met Selene.

“That shouldn’t be a problem,” Jax assesses. “You just need to strengthen the dose a bit.”

“Good,” I breathe. “Thank you again for your help.”

“It’s not a favor.” Jax growls, “I expect you to pay me double for the house call.” “Of course.” I smile, “I’ll pay whatever you ask, so long as you keep the goods coming.”
