Chapter 86
Den
As soon as the dishes start clearing, I excuse myself for a moment and slip into the
kitchen. My staff are all loyal to me and so when I bring my head cook to the side, and
exin to her what is going on, and that I need her help, all she can say is, “Thank Fuck,
it’s about time something gets done about her!” All I can do is chuckle and apologize for
them having to put up with her all this time.
The she-wolf helps me to sprinkle the slow-acting drug into the dessert as to not mess
up the lookpletely and make L suspicious. I chose the slow-acting drug because I
can’t very well have L passing out at the table while my mother and all the other
guests are still around. She will begin to feel sleepy and most likely excuse herself; she
will be knocked out cold once her head hits her pillow, or so I’m told.
Walking around to the other doorway, I arrive back at the dining room as they are
halfway done with passing out the dessert. The head cook personally brings out both
mine and L’s as to make it look as though we are both important enough for the head
cook to bring out our dessert. She never brings food to the table since she does most of
the cooking.
L digs right into hers, not even waiting for her Alpha to sit down. Normally I would
lecture her, but I let it go for tonight. “Sorry about that,” I address everyone as I take my
seat, “I had forgotten to send out an important business email earlier, and they needed
to have it by the end of the day.”
“No problem, Den,” Quinn pipes in, “We were just having a lovely conversation with
your Luna.” I can see the amusement dancing in
her eyes as she calls L my Luna, “I was just telling her how she’s done a fabulous job
tonight. I hope you will continue to give more Luna responsibilities to her in the future.”
“We discussed that earlier, and tonight was a test run. If all of you approve of her
abilities, and attitude, then I will give her more.” I respond.
“Does this dessert have a different taste or is it just me?” L asks as she sniffs her
dessert.
Well, shit! I lift a bite to my own nose and sniff and then eat it, pretending that I’m trying
to figure it out, “Yes, mine is a bit different than usual as well.”
Suddenly, Quinn and Carter nod in agreement as well, “Yes, I bet the cook just used a
different brand is all.” Quinn suggests.
“As long as I’m not being poisoned.” L chuckles.
Carter, being the best Beta ever picks up a clean spoon and scoops a bit of L’s
dessert onto it and then tastes it himself, “Tastes just like mine. No worries about being
poisoned, Luna. if you are then I guess we will go down together.” Carter muses and
then actually winks at L.
The she-bitch finally rxes and begins to enjoy everyone’s
with how she’s acting at the moment. A few of us nce around the table at the ones
that are aware of what is going on, knowing that now, all we have to do is wait.
I continue to watch the time as we all move into the living space for some drinks. The

conversations. It
looks as though the females are including L in on their discussion as well, ying
everything off nicely. It’s going better than I thought it would. Unfortunately, slow-acting
really does mean slow-acting, though, because it’s been a little over an hour now and
aside from a small yawn here and there, L doesn’t look very tired at all.
When I nce over at the doctor, he gives me a confused look as well. Maybe I was
supposed to use two capsules instead of one. I hold up one finger, and he barely shakes
his head. I hold two fingers up by my leg, and he gives a slight nod. Rolling my eyes and
cursing under my breath, I have to think of something fast.
Knowing how much L loves to drink and she loves that cinnamon-vored whiskey, I
sneak another capsule and open it up, pouring it into a tumbler. I hate this brand of
whiskey, but I’ll take one for the team if I have to.
Clearing my throat, I get everyone’s attention, “I know most of your know that me and my
Luna haven’t had the best rtionshiptely, but I want to try and rectify that starting
tonight. If not for us, then for our son,” I hold up the bottle of whiskey to show L who is
on the other side of the room, “I’ve even brought out your favorite drink for this!” I pour
about a shot and a half of it in each tumbler and then walk slowly over to her, hoping the
drug dissolves by the time I get to her.
I hand her the drugged tumbler and raise mine, waiting for her to do the same, “To new
beginnings!” She repeats what I say and then shoots the liquid in one go without even
looking into her ss thank Goddess. I shoot mine and make a face, causing everyone
tough at me, but I couldn’t care less.
A half an hourter. the quests begin to leave and L heads to her
room yawning. Now that it’s been another thirty minutes and my mother has retired, we
head up to L’s room. It’s only me, Carter, Jonah, Quinn, and Gavin left as we hover by
her door. I slip in first, wanting to make sure she is truly asleep. If she wakes up then I
will have to pretend that I want to use her, so I’m sending up huge prayers that she’s
passed the fuck out.
Thankfully, The Goddess does answer prayers because no matter what I say or do, L
continues to snore. I open her door to let the others through. We don’t dare turn the light
on, so I bring out my cell and turn the shlight on, so the doctor can see what he’s
doing. The drug should have worked on Lina, her wolf, as well, so she can’t tattle on us
as Carter lifts up L’s leg and holds it in ce for the doctor. Pulling out a syringelooking object with a
long needle, he sticks it into L’s upper inner thigh and presses the
plunger, sending the tiny tracker into her. The tracker is made to dissolve after two years,
so there is no need to worry about removing it.
We all breathe a sigh of relief as we step out into the hallway, and I pull up the app with
the tracker. There is a red dot not moving right where L’s bedroom is located. Once we
get back to the living room, high-five’s go all around, and we start to rx. I watch Quinn
pull Jonah out of the room and figure that she wants to talk to him. about her uing
are back in less than five minutes, so it couldn’t have been really important.
It’s alreadyte, and I can tell that Quinn is dead on her poor swollen feet, “How about
you two take off,” I say to both Quinn and Gavin, “Quinn needs rests. I will keep
everyone updated on how things go from here on out. It shouldn’t take too long for her to
fuck up.”
“Onest thing, Alpha Den,” Jonah cuts in, “L may be a bit sore in that area in the
morning, so you may need to tell a little fib
exining why she may have a little soreness in that area.”
Quinn chuckles, apparently understanding what the doctor is trying to tell me, “Are you
saying that I have to tell L that we had sex?”
He shrugs, “It wouldn’t hurt.”
Quinn, Gavin, and Carter all burst intoughter as I re at each of them, “All of you are
so going to owe me for this one!”
“Hey, I have nothing to do with this whole mate sh baby mama drama shit.” Carter
“No, but you helpede up with this n, so you’re part of it whether you want to be or
not.” I growl.
“Fine, because this is so worth it! I want to be there when you tell her that you did the
nasty.” My friend is having way too much fun with this.
Ignoring him, I turn to my cousin and Quinn, “Let me walk you out.”
As soon as we get to the front porch, I scoop Quinn into my arms for a hug, chuckling as
Mace growls at me. To everyone’s surprise, though, I bring Gavin in for a man hug.
“Take care of our girl, you hear me?” I raise my brow in warning.
Slowly, a grin appears on his face, “You know I will.”
“Yeah,” I grin back, “I do.”
The deed is done… now, we wait! Thanks for reading and I hope you all have an
amazing weekend!
