Chapter 4: A Game of Manipulation

Jimmy's Pov
"When is this damn banquet going to end?" This question spins in my mind as I step into the hall. My eyes scan for Emily, but I first encounter Nina Turner, the young and naive Nina. The two sisters have different personalities. Nina is cunning and independent. However, both sisters are too naive. It wasn't difficult to get close to them and make them fall in love with me. Nina is only a year younger than Emily and believes she has more maturity than anyone, especially her sister. My wolf Shawn growls with humor at this realization.
When I find Emily, she is heading towards the women's bathroom. I go towards Alpha David; I need to maintain friendships with my future father-in-law.
"Hello, Mr. David," I greet Alpha David with a firm handshake. "The party for Emily is impressive. I'll need to ask for your contacts later for this amazing organization. I'll use it for the upcoming events in our Lycan Kingdom pack." I politely compliment.
"Jimmy, of course. I'll have my secretary pass you the information. And King Benson? I'm surprised you came without him. Did you come in separate cars?" David asks.
I maintain a straight posture upon hearing that my bastard nephew is about to come to the banquet. Shawn growls inside me, heightening my impatience even more. Benson Doorson is not worthy of carrying my family's surname, nor of being king. A son of my brother's mistress sitting on our throne is unacceptable. A nineteen-year-old brat is in no condition to rule our kingdom.
"Yes, sir. I was eager to see my beloved Emily, so I decided to come ahead." I reply in a friendly manner.
Emily appears next, and I hug her. During the banquet, I juggle to keep my focus on pleasing Emily. My thoughts and glances, however, lead me to Nina, who tries to provoke me with malicious looks. Entertaining the two sisters is tedious. Both are so foolish and clingy that if I didn't need them to dominate the Blue Bay Pack wolf pack, I would have sent them to hell a long time ago.
"Emily, my princess, could you come with me for a stroll?" I ask with a gentle voice and extend my hand to Emily. It was time to propose to this girl and take another step forward in my plans. This was supposed to be the easiest part of my plan, the stupid marriage proposal. Emily was head over heels for me.
However, Emily rejects my engagement proposal. Who does she think she is? Shawn, my wolf, wants to dominate her at that moment, force her to accept my proposal. I kept calm and stepped back; I needed to think of ways to reverse the situation. I left Emily in the maze so that she could also reflect on the terrible decision she was making.
I sent a message to Nina informing her that I was leaving the party. I needed to rethink my next steps.
A few days after Emily's rejection, Nina came to my office. The seventeen-year-old is wearing such a provocative outfit that it's impossible for me not to pay attention to her curves.
"My queen, you take my breath away, you know?" I flirt with Nina; her face blushes, and I know she's emitting pheromones in my direction. Nina sits in the cushioned chair in front of me and crosses her legs in a sensual manner. I growl at her seductive movement.
I lean on my office desk facing Nina. The young woman has her hair braided and wears a dress that accentuates her cleavage.
"I missed you, my king," Nina said with a sensual voice. "You haven't said anything since that stupid birthday banquet for my sister. I thought you had forgotten about me." Nina complained, pouting. I put my hand on her chin and run my index finger across her lips. Indeed, I had forgotten about Nina. My thoughts were trying to come up with ideas to make Emily accept my marriage proposal. I also had to lead the entire kingdom organization. Benson is too inexperienced, and I can't wait to take his place.
"My queen, of course not. How could I forget those sweet lips?" I speak close to her face, feeling Nina's heart race. "I'm just busy. Your sister rejected my proposal, and I need to find a way to change her mind." Nina crosses her arms in front of her body, her face slightly pouting at the mention of her sister.
"That i***t, I tried to convince her to accept the proposal. But mom and dad supported her stupid decision." Nina recounts with a furious voice, and I pay attention.
"Well, we'll need to be more persuasive, won't we?" I respond seriously. Nina's clear eyes stare at me, they're bright and full of desires. I caress her face and pull her to stand close to my body.
"Wish you didn't have to marry her." Nina declares jealous; I let out a sarcastic laugh.
"It's just for our plans to succeed. Emily isn't as good as you, Nina. Believe me, whenever I'm with your sister, my thoughts revolve around you." I say with my lips close to Nina's ear; I feel her breath getting heavier, my hands slide down the side of her body. Nina puts her arm around my neck; her body is close enough to mine for her to feel my elevated temperature.
Nina had an intoxicating scent; her desire pheromones were through the roof. It wasn't hard to manipulate her with harmless flirts like this.
I lift my hand to her nape, entangle some strands of her hair with my fingers. This makes Nina tilt her head back, exposing her neck a bit more.
"You dominate my mind too much, Nina. Your scent, your taste, it's like a mind-altering drug to me." I declare with a growl; Nina bites her lower lip, knowing that Nina likes to be dominated in this way. They all like it; females need to be dominated by males; that's what they were made for.
"That's why I need you to leave now." I order and release Nina's hair; she blinks disoriented for a second, and that makes me smile. "You cause too many distractions here in the office. When I need you, I'll talk to you again, Nina." I announce seriously. A bit reluctantly, Nina leaves.
If she wasn't going to provide new help for my plan to convince her sister to marry me, Nina wasn't of much use to me.
I press the intercom and summon my men into my office. Four of my most loyal soldiers enter my office, ready to receive orders.
"I want you to monitor Emily Turner's routine and report everything to me. When I give the order, I want you to kidnap her, drug her. When you get to the location I set, you'll strip her completely. It's not for anyone to actually violate her; I just want to scare Emily a little. A small revenge for her rejection. At the right moment, I'll come to you and rescue her, so there won't be any other option for her but to want to marry me." I explain to my men.
"Every woman loves to be rescued, don't they?" I ask with acidic humor in my voice, and my men laugh in agreement.
There's no way Emily won't accept my proposal now. She will realize how weak and defenseless she is, how she needs a strong and imposing man like me. I have no doubt that the moment she sees me rescuing her, she will fall to her knees and beg us to get married. Then, I'll protect her.
