** Vladimir's POV **
Seriously, I am surrounded by incompetent simpletons. I paced my office angrily. I just got off the phone with one of my contacts from The Alliance. Their third attempt at the Alpha's son had failed. He was proving to be an impossible target. However, I need him out of the way.
If he rises and takes over the pack, our plans for succession will fail. I needed to find another way to go about this. Our man on the inside did pass along word that his mate was pregnant. She was refusing her extra protection detail. She felt with the increased number of attacks, additional security would be better utilized guarding the border.
Finally, the fool gave me something useful I could exploit. I was beginning to have serious doubts as to how close he was to the Alpha if he couldn't even provide reliable information about weaknesses amongst the security teams. It was time I used my own secret weapon.
