Alaina's Destiny Book 1

Chapter 7

STEVEN

My plan is coming together better than I ever could've imagined: I'm controlling Nick, his father (who has since become a housekeeper for my estate), Will, my wife, and in a few short moments, Alaina will be under my control as well.

Will showed me that he was on the plane to France and that he followed Alaina there; he was seated close to Alaina which was good. Also, he showed me that the suitors I sent with him are totally letting him lead. They're not under my control, technically, but they may as well be.

"Well, my darling," I say to my wife. "Alaina is soon to be bred and then married and we shall be saved."

She smiles at me. "Your plan is working, my love. You will be unstoppable and I'm so happy for you."

I love how agreeable she is. Should've hypnotized her sooner. I take a deep breath in and exhale with a smile. I love the smell of power. My wife kneels at my feet as I laugh loudly in evil satisfaction. In my mind I see Will and the others taking Alaina to a hotel. They all have pleased me greatly. But Will has earned his position. The study now looks more cheerful and the leather chair I am sitting in feels somewhat better now that my power has been increasing.

Wait. What am I seeing? Is that...man fighting Will for my daughter? How dare he. I can't have my plans ruined. They're finally coming together, and all of the power, wealth, the kingdom will be mine and I will not let anything stand in my way.

"Will, destroy him," I command, knowing he can hear me perfectly. "Then get on with the breeding. "

He obeys instantly and I feel an immediate sense of relief wash over me. That was close.

"My love, how is Alaina going to handle being bred by so many?"

My wife asks, snapping me out of my thoughts. I know she's being controlled, but she raises a pretty good point. One I hadn't considered before.

"She'll be fine, my dear."

But will she? Could I be wrong? I'm getting a weird feeling about this... No. I have no room for doubt. I must be confident in myself. It's the only way to ensure that I will get what I want. Will takes care of him as I sit back in my chair and watch with immense pleasure. I shouldn't like that men are touching my daughter, but I don't care. I want the power and if I haven't made this clear before, I will do anything to get it.

"Get on with it, Will," I command.

I can't help but laugh.

"My love, she will be wise not to defy you."

I love hearing my wife say that.

"Don't worry, darling. He gave her the vial and branded her. She is transforming as we speak and soon, she will be completely under control. Soon she will lay on that bed with no questions asked."

I laugh darkly.

"She will be begging for the men to come into her."

I hear Will laughing along with me and I smirk at my wife. The longer I watch, the more I am glad that I can see what's going on. It's a real bonus, honestly. I'm able to make sure they do it right and that they won't defy me (which I know they won't, but still, it helps). Even though everything's running smoothly now, that man is still bothering me. He's a loose cannon; I don't know what he's going to do and I'm not taking any chances.

"Nick, kill that guy," I demand. "Will, enough waiting around. Knock up my daughter."

Pretty dark, I know. But I'm pure evil and there's nothing I'm prouder of than that.
