I shrug my shoulders.
"If you say so then." "I'm happy for you. When the elders find out about this, they will advocate for Ashanti to be thrown out so you can take her place as Alpha Reagan's wife. It seems you'll finally get what you've been fighting for." "That's exactly what's going to happen." I say that with all confidence.
I've gotten this far already, there's no way I'm going to lose to Ashanti.
A long moment of silence goes by and I'm buried in my thoughts. Now that I've told her about my pregnancy, it's about tI brought up the real reason why I sent for her.
"Nelly." My voice is so small, I'm sure she heard only thanks to our heightened hearing abilities.

"Why do you sound so tense, Alina? You know I'd do anything for you. You just have to nit." "What I want is uh... it's a bit of a difficult task. Dangerous even and you must not get caught." Her brows crease. Fear grows on her face, but her zeal to servemakes her swallow her fear and givea confident look. "Say it." "I need you to getwolfsbane." I announce and she's completely taken aback by my request. Her already wide eyes grow even wider as she givesan intense, shocking gaze.
"Wolfsbane?" She asks, mortified. I nod my head. "That's a very dangerous substance and it's not commonly sold around. What do you want to do with it?" Good question.
What do I want to do with the wolfsbane? You will not imagine the horror I felt when I woke up one fateful morning, feeling dizzy and vomiting only to take a pregnancy test and find out I was pregnant. I cried all morning, cursing myself and almost giving up on my quest for Alpha Reagan because I had gotten pregnant for another man.
Yes, you heard right.
This child I'm carrying does not belong to Alpha Reagan. I'm four weeks pregnant, but the last tI had sex with Alpha Reagan was about six weeks ago.
I had been bawling my eyes out when the idea of pinning this pregnancy on Alpha Reagan crossed my mind. I didn't even sit to think of the consequences because I know overthinking would getfrightened and makechange my mind. I didn't want that, so I called my brother that smorning and told him and the rest was history.
Now, back to the wolfsbane.
Like Kyle rightly said, the day this baby is born, a D.N.A test will be carried out to confirm his or her paternity and if it's discovered that I lied about Alpha Reagan being his or her father, I will face dire consequences.
I don't want that.
I smile at Nelly who's patiently waiting for my response.
"I just need it. I'm sorry I can't share the reason with you. Can you get it for me? I'll give you the money and also pay you for your service." I cannot tell her the reason why I need the wolfsbane. I cannot even tell her that Alpha Reagan is not the father of this child I'm carrying because she will freak out and maybe ratout. I can't risk it.

My first mission was to get Alpha Reagan to accept the pregnancy. Now that he has, as it just a matter of tbefore he letsinto his house.
Once I'm in his house, I'll be able to seduce him again and get him to sleep with me. That's where the wolfsbane comes in.
This child I'm carrying has to die so I can conceive Alpha Reagan's child when I finally have access to him.
Wolfsbane can be lethal to Werewolves, but taking a single sip will cause little damage like getting rid of an unwanted pup that's growing in one's womb. "Trust me, I'm not up to anything bad." I lie and she calmly nods her head.
"Alright then. I'll get you the wolfsbane. Just be careful with it okay, because that baby in your ΟΠ Womb will be history if a single sip gets into your system." I calmly nod my head. "I promised to be careful." If only she knows that's the why I'm getting the wolfsbane in the first place.
