"Beta Dominic was just spotted leaving Elijah's quarters, and from the look on his face, he didn't look happy," Jeremiah reported, handing a phone to Asher.
Asher Nightshade took the phone, his lips curving sardonically at the secret shot of his father's ambitious beta storming out of the Alpha King's room.
"I guess his cowardly little plan didn't go well," Asher mocked, handing the phone back to Jeremiah.
"Obviously," Jeremiah said. "That didn't look like a happy face to me."
Asher moved calmly and perched himself on the edge of his desk, his long legs stretched out casually in front of him. "Elijah might be an asshole, but he's a shrewd piece of shit," he said coolly. "He hates my guts, but he also needs me. Dominic's biggest mistake was not realizing Elijah has trust issues. If Dominic is bold enough to plot my death, Elijah knows he'd have no problem plotting his own king's death when the opportunity comes."
