Maria used the second alternative that her mother had informed if Red had declined her offer.
Once she got to her bedroom, she made an invisible stitch on her husband’s favorite tunic.
She knew how much he loved wearing it and she knew that it would be important to her cause.
Her mother had given her a needle that was made of dark magic.
Maria had never for once used dark magic, but her mother had dabbled in it.
"Take this." Her mother said. "When the whore refuses to accept and leave the pack, you will use this needle to sew a strand of your husband’s hair together with yours on his favorite clothe."
"What do you mean when? How sure are you that she would not take my first offer?" Maria asked
"Because I am a woman and I know what woman can do" Her mother said.
And sure enough Red had declined her offer.
"And what will it do?" Maria had asked.
"Your husband will turn away from her and face you." Her mother promised.
She sewed the strands of their hair together so neatly that it was barely visible.
And then she folded his clothes back in its place.
He joined her in bed when it was already past one at night and Maria could not help feeling the betrayal and deceit in her chest.
She knew that he was coming back from that whore’s room.
A few days after she had made the stitch, Maria could barely see any changes.
It was still the same and especially with his attention on Red.
And then one day the opportunity prevented itself.
Word came in that they were having trouble with some lawless wolves who were encroaching on their own territory.
Bale had left it to his gamma but it seemed that it had become worse.
And now since the day that he had brought Red to the pack, he was now forced to leave.
Maria watched as he wore his clothes in their bedroom.
It was almost dawn and he was leaving early.
"I shall return." He promised her as he bent down and kissed her cheek.
"I will be waiting here my love." She informed him.
And then she watched as he walked out of the bedroom.
This was her time to shine.
She hurriedly rushed to her bedroom balcony and watched as he left with his men.
She waited for about an hour when she was certain for sure that he had truly left.
And then she went into her bedroom and got dressed.
She made sure to look her finest.
She wanted to feel and look more beautiful than the bitch when she was doing what she did.
She marched to Red’s bedroom and the door was barged open by her guards.
Red jumped up a frown on her face.
Urma was together with Red too.
Maria should have known.
Red groaned and her hands went to her stomach. freēwēbnovel.com
