Chapter 62
Just a little time before Alpha Grant saw Krisna who was just standing in the corner, Asthrid was on the other side. She wanted to give Grant something to drink, so they could talk with each other.
“One glass of punch, please.” She told the woman who was serving the punches. If love potion would only exist in their world, maybe Asthrid would be the number one in the line. She wouldn’t let that opportunity pass by and she would do anything to let Alpha Grant drink that. She took the punch from the woman and went to look for the Alpha right away.
“Where is he? I think I just saw him talking to some of his friends right here a while ago.” She told herself, trying to think where Grant could be at this time. A little later, she finally saw a glimpse of him at least 50 meters away. “Alpha Grant!” She tried to call him out, but the crowd was too noisy together with the music. “Alpha!” She shouted once again as she was walking, squeezing herself in the crowd, but she was stunned when she noticed something.
She was about to approach Grant, she was holding a glass of punch but suddenly she noticed that he was only staring at something. When she turned to look at where he would be looking, she saw Krisna at the corner.
Instantly, Asthrid felt too furious when she saw where Alpha Grant was looking at. “That hideous woman was really a pain in the butt! I told her to stay there, but the Alpha could still see her?! That’s absurd!” She exclaimed in a low yet angry tone of voice. She wanted Krisna to just stay in the corner so that the Alpha wouldn’t be able to notice her and she would look like no one wanted to be friends with her, but then she just witnessed the Alpha staring at her.
She was certain at that point that the Alpha was indeed attracted to Krisna. Who would be attracted to a woman like Krisna who was wearing a hideous gown and she got no makeup on? There was just one thing that she could think of, the Alpha couldn’t resist the pull and he was attracted to her. But she couldn’t let that thing happen, she had to act now or else, Krisna and Grant would end up being together after all.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Asthrid was really infuriated, she wanted to execute their plan right away, so Krisna would go home crying and until then, she would beg Asthrid to stop bullying her and she won the battle. She would definitely stop getting Alpha Grant’s attention and she could finally go into the spotlight and steal the scene so there would be a happy ending between the two of them. She could just get rid of Mabelle afterward.
Before she took her eyes off at Grant and Krisna, she drank the two glasses of punches as if she was really thirsty then she put the glasses on the tray the waiter was carrying. “Just you wait, little maggot. I’ll get back to you.” She hissed as she walked away to find Mabelle so they could both plan out what they should be doing next. She just couldn’t stay still and wait until Krisna would be dancing with the Alpha although she wasn’t doing anything at all. She couldn’t be defeated by that kind of scheme, especially if it was Krisna she was talking about.
“Hey, Mabelle! What are you doing here? We have something important to do, don’t we?” She told Mabelle when she finally saw her outside of the venue hall, she was talking to someone, but Asthrid pulled her in an instant without asking for permission.
“Hey, what are you doing? I’m still talking to someone, can’t you see?” She nagged, but then she realized that they really had something to do with regards to Krisna.
“Idiot, you’re being carefree over here while our target, that lousy little maggot, is making a move to steal our man.” She said in a slightly raised voice. She was being a little aggressive more than she already was. Her hands were crossed across her chest while she was stomping her food continuously.
“Ya, yea, you’re right about that. Okay, we have to focus on our goal. What happened back there?” Mabelle asked in a serious tone of voice, and so Asthrid told her everything she saw.
“How dare she do that! I can’t let something happen between the two of them… not to that cheap king of a rat.” She commented in an annoyed tone.
Asthrid rolled her eyes heavenward and agreed with Mabelle right away. She also didn’t want anything to happen between the two of them, so they had to plan everything out. This was their only chance to embarrass Krisna in front of the public since everyone was gathered here. To top it all, the Alpha was present to host the party. They needed to think something out of the usual to make everything go smoothly.
Mabelle pulled Asthrid on the side where no one could ever hear them then she leaned forward to whisper in her ear. “Okay, Ms. Asthrid. Here’s what we have to do: you have to find a way to dance with Alpha Grant. I don’t know how, but no matter what technique you use, you have to dance with him and make Krisna look bad from his perspective. Demean her, say something that would make him lose interest in Krisna. Give everything you got in this phase. If that doesn’t work, we’ll have plan B so stay put, Ms. Asthrid. We’re going to embarrass her in front of the Alpha and the crowd.” Mabelle told her in a low tone of voice.
Asthrid didn’t know if how would she go and ask the Alpha to dance with her, but maybe she could find a way later on. She thought that the idea was just too perfect, maybe it was even more okay to just embarrass her in public.
“She will lose face after this Annual Pack Gathering, and she won’t have the guts to show her face ever again. That’s for sure.” She told Mabelle in a confident tone of voice with a beaming smile on her lips. They were both so into this mission, they were desperate to keep Krisna away from the Alpha.
Asthrid didn’t want to tell Mabelle that Alpha Grant and Krisna were her suspected mates, she didn’t know what Mabelle might do after she knew about it. She would just keep it to herself for now.
