And now, after walking in on them this morning, there was no denying it anymore.
The original plan was falling apart. Everything he'd worked for, everything he’d sacrificed, was slipping through
his fingers because Alexander couldn't keep his dick in his pants around that Stormhollow bitch.
The mercury poisoning had been Gabriel's idea-a subtle way to make Ella sick enough so that she lost the baby.
Gabriel figured that Alexander's hormones were just raging because of his pregnant mate, and once she was no
longer with child, he would cback to his senses.
Instead, they'd discovered the poisoning before the baby could be lost. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the
entire ordeal had just brought them closer together. Alexander had taken care of her, cooked for her, hovered
over her like a lovesick fool.
The whole thing had backfired spectacularly.
Gabriel had run out of subtle options. It was tto accept that more drastic measures were necessary.
He found Sophia exactly where he expected to-in her private sitting room at her parents’ estate, sipping tea and
reading a trashy romance . She looked up when he entered and her cool gaze immediately caught onto the
thunderous expression Gabriel was wearing.
“Well, well,” she said, dog-earing the page she was on and setting aside her book. “Someone looks troubled.”

made things worse.”
Sophia's perfectly sculpted eyebrow arched. “Worse how?”
“I think he’s really falling in love.” The words tasted like ash in his mouth. “I walked in on them this morning,
and...” He shook his head, unable to bring himself to say it out loud.
But he didn’t have to. Sophia’s eyes went as wide as saucers, and for a moment, her fingers tightened so much
around her teacup that Alexander thought she might shatter it.
Finally, she seemed to compose herself by force, drawing in a deep breath through her nose and out through her
mouth. She set aside her teacup before she could break it.
“You're right. We do have a problem.” Sophia pulled her shoulders back. “But | can handle it. Not all is lost yet.”
Gabriel studied her for a moment, uncertain. Sophia had pulled a couple of very desperate stunts in a bid to gain
Alexander's affection, and it had only backfired for her. That was precisely why he had hesitated when she had
approached him at the campaign banquet.

But if there was anything she could do now, anything at all...
They had no choice. They had to do something before Alexander and Ella grew completely inseparable.
Either they had to terminate that pregnancy, drive a wedge between Alexander and Ella, or... worse.
Far worse.
“If you eliminate her from the equation entirely,” Gabriel said, keeping his voice low, “you’d better be
careful about it. Ensure it can’t get tracked back to us.”
“Calm yourself, Beta.” Sophia sighed and pushed a lock of hair over her shoulder. “I've already made the mistake
of trying to have her harmed. No, | think the best course of action-for now, anyway-is to simply
make them hate each other again.”
“And how do you plan to do that?” Gabriel asked.
Sophia stood and sauntered over to hip, hips swinging. Gabriel had to force himself not to stare at her
slender, perfect form.
Ella had always been beautiful-even Gabriel couldn’t deny that. But Sophia was nearly as attractive in Gabriel's
eyes, and what was more important was the fact that she wasn’t a fucking spy.
She made such a better match for the Alpha than that Stormhollow whore.
But Alexander's judgment was clouded by Ella's tricks. Poor sod.
“Don’t you worry your pretty little head,” Sophia cooed, placing her hand on his shoulder as she passed. I'll
handle everything from here.”
