~Backup Plan~

*Somewhere outside the pack house at Blood Moon*

~Unknown~
I could see her laughing and smiling with the other women at the table. I knew them all but the house keeper. My beauty seemed to like her so she would get a pass. I have watched them all grow up just waiting for the right moment to strike. Now that the useless Maxwell was dead I can claim what is mine. As I sat in the tree watching the patrols pass right by me I smiled. It pays to have a witch in your back pocket. I am going to knock that spoiled brat down a peg and defeat her father then my beauty and I will take over. She doesn't know it yet but I had planned to do it all along and then that mutt showed up. Even though he has marked her the witch said she can reverse it and make her mine. I had a few other men all over the pack lands to get a idea of patrols and everything so we could strike. They would not know what hit them but first things first I need to claim the pack and then I will claim my Luna. As the day continued I watched her move around through the windows, a few times she stopped and looked in my general direction but never came close to seeing me. Do not worry my pet you will know who I am soon enough.


*The Blue Moon Pack*

~Matt~
I hurried into Mary's room and sat on the side of her bed. I hated leaving her but I knew she would not come with me and for some reason she wanted me to stay at Blood Moon. Because I am a warrior I cannot do anything against my pack she knows this so if she thinks I will harm my Alpha or Luna I cannot. I don't want to lose my mate but I may have to. My wolf whimpers just a bit but agreed. I tried to tell her all about me and get to know her like most mates do but she wants none of that she just wants me to give her information about Blood Moon. She has revenge in her heart and doesn't even want anyone to know we are mates. My wolf Mason said to get as much information as we could for the Alpha. I hope she comes around and stops all this revenge talk but if not i will have no choice but to reject her. As I watch her she opens her eyes and a grimace appears and then she smiles real quick, like she is hoping I didn't see the face. Does she think I am blind and does she not know I can smell another male on her. She is my mate and letting someone else touch her. I wanted to find them and rip them apart but I knew I had to stay focused. Thank the Goddess for my training.

"What are you doing back here Matt?" she asked me. "I had to see you." I replied. She rolls her eyes at my response. "I need you at Blood Moon getting intel for me not here kissing my ass." she said. Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. "I can't give you information about Blood Moon and you know it. Either we are going to be together here or there I need to know now." Her eyes widened and then she swallowed and said. "I can't go with you and be near her this is all her fault and I don't want you here yet. I want my revenge Matt. I deserve my revenge for what she caused happen." I can't believe she thinks its not her and Maxwell's fault they caused this not Rose. I knew what I had to do but I was going to have to bide my time and get information of my own and I would have to talk to the Alpha as soon as I return to Blood Moon. "Fine Mary whatever you want." I said. With my response she let out a deep breath and smiled for real. "Once I get my revenge on that waste of space we can finally be together here and you can help me run this pack." She said. I just nodded like I agreed hoping she would say more. I can't believe she believes I would actually let her do anything. "You can't stay long or they will notice you are gone." She said. "I know I came to see you and give you this phone so we can communicate while I am gone." I said and handed her the phone I brought with me. "So do you know what you plan to do?" I asked. "She will not see her Luna Ceremony. Which reminds me when is it?" she asks. "I don't know they were still making plans when I left." I tell her even though I know when it is. We talk a little while longer then I have to go. We kiss goodbye and for some reason I am not as upset to leave as before. I think my wolf has already cut ties with hers. I hope she doesn't notice.

I sneak out of the Blue Moon Pack territory and head home. Once I arrive I head home and take a quick shower and change. Once I am finished I link Nathan. "Man I need to talk to you and the Alpha it is very important." He quickly replies. "Alright head to Jacksons office and we will be waiting." I hope the hear me out before kicking my ass. I pull up to the pack house and then head inside. I go straight to Jacksons office and knock on the door. "Come in." He says. I walk in and he gestures to the seat next to Nathan so I sit down. "Alpha I have something to tell you and Nathan and please let me get it all out before you say anything." I ask. "Alright we are listening." He says. "Ok for starters I found my mate at The Blue Moon Pack and it was Mary." I see them look at one another then back at me. " I thought it was going to be just like everyone else and she would come with me but she said no so I figured I would stay there but again she said no." I take a deep breath and continue. "She wants revenge against the Luna and I can't do that I cant go against you my Alpha or my Luna or my pack for my mate. I know I will have to reject her but I am hoping I can do to her what she thinks she is doing to me." "What is she doing to you?" Nathan asks. "She thinks she is using me for information and thinks I am going to tell her what's going on here but I am not. I snuck back there to see her and see if i could talk her out of this and she has been messing with someone else. I could smell him all over her. I gave her a phone to communicate. I am hoping she will tell me her plan." I stop and take several deep breaths. "We knew you went back." Jackson says. I look up at him in surprise. "I appreciate you being honest with us and hate that finding your mate is not working out." Then he asks what I knew he was going to. "Did she tell you her plan?" "She has someone helping her but has not told me who yet. She plans to have the Luna and other girls taken and killed." I tell them. Both men growl and clinch their fists. "Has she gave you any details yet?" They both ask. "No but she did say they are watching the pack."
