The Plan

[Chapter 15] —The Plan- Trevor

After I left Seleste, I just drove around for hours. I parked and went to my quiet spot in the woods, but it did not have the same calming effect it usually had. I can't explain it, but ever since I rejected Seleste in this spot, it feels depressing to be here. The moon used to shine the brightest in this spot, but the moonlight has become dull here. I came here for peace, but peace did not find me here. There is so much going on in my head. Convel is mad at me. I snapped at Shana for no real reason. All because she tried to stick up for Seleste. My friends are avoiding me. I don't know how it got to this point. This is all Seleste's fault. Why did the moon goddess pair me with her? Why couldn't she be different? Things would be like this if she was the type of mate that I needed. Then I would not have rejected her. My friends wouldn't be mad at me and we would all be happy.

"Trevor, this is messed up thinking, even for you," Convel says. "How can you blame mate for you letting your pride lead you down the dark road you choose to travel down This was all you?"

"But she caused it by being petty when we fought. I know she is jealous that I will be alpha and she will still be a Gamma. I can tell that she wants to control things. Remember, she tried to tell me how I could be better. That is not her job or place. She is not better than me."

"Dumb dumb, that is absolutely her job as a trainer to instruct and help us improve. Did you learn nothing about the leadership of packs? Every position has a specific role to play."

"I don't care what role she has, no one gets to tell an alpha what to do."

"Trevor, you do realize that our mate could be an alpha in her own right. She has the power and authority in her blood. She doesn't need you for that."

"She will never be alpha of my pack. I knew she was trying to undermine me. I need to get rid of her before she tried to take my pack from me."

"Really Trevor, I can't believe you really believe that about our mate. It's almost sad. You need to go back and do the research of our pack and the connection between the founding families of our pack. Our mate's forefather was a founding member of this pact."

"So Convel, you think since her family was a founding member of this pack, she has the right to challenge my authority or undermine me? I am the rightful alpha of this pack. Not her. She has to go and I'm going to get rid of her tonight. She will not be my Gamma. If she stays in this pack, she will be just another wolf, nothing special."

"First, our mate could never be just another wolf in any pack. Second, I can't believe that you can be so caught up in your own ass that you purposefully miss the point of our entire conversation. There is no reasoning with you, so once again, I am done talking to you until its time for me to leave."

Of Course, that mutt blocked me again. Why does Convel keep talking about leaving me? He is so dramatic. He's not going anywhere. We are joined for life. Now that Convel has stopped talking to me again, I can focus on getting rid of Seleste. Since I already rejected her, it should not be hard. I just have to make her want to leave. Once she is gone, the guys will start looking up to me again instead of always talking about how great she is. It seems like everyone likes her more than they like me. They all think she is so great. How can I lead my pack if everyone looks to her for everything? I am the leader of this pack, and it's my job as the leader to eliminate every threat. The first thing I will do is strip her of the Gamma position, then I will take away her training position. I can use my new mate as an excuse to get rid of Seleste. Since Shana now knows that Seleste is my fated mate, I can convince her that Seleste is a threat to her safety. I just have to convince the rest of the pack. I know, I can tell them, that Seleste has always had a crush on me. Everyone in the pack always thought we would be mates because of how close we used to be, so it should not be hard to convince them. Once I establish that she had feeling for me, I can convince them she would not be the right person to be in charge of keeping me and my mate safe since she is jealous of Shana being my mate. When I openly flaunt Shana in front of her, it should trigger her wolf, which will help me convince my dad that Seleste needs to leave our pack. I think I have the perfect plan.

After a couple of hours, I left this spot and went back to the packhouse. My parents were eating breakfast when I walked into the house.

"Looks like you had a long night." My mother says with a smirk. My dad just looked at me and kept eating.

"He's an alpha male. I knew he would not hold out long. No alpha can stay away from his mate long after he accepts the bond. I'm just surprised he made it home at all. I'm guessing you are tired. Go get some rest, son. We have a long night tonight." My dad says.

I don't bother correcting my parents. It is better if they assume I was mating with my mate. It's a good thing I did not fully walk into the kitchen with them or I would have had to explain why I had been out all night, but did not smell like my mate. I rum up to my room and quickly got in the shower. After the shower, I did what my parents said and got into my bed. I am feeling exhausted and emotionally drained. It's a good thing is no training scheduled for today because of the preparations for the big party tonight. I just don't have the energy for it, anyway. I'll just nap for a couple hours, then get up and catch up with the guys.

My mom just woke me up. I slept for most of the day. Now there are only a couple of hours before the party gets started. I check my phone. I'm surprised that the guys have not tried to call me today. It's Ben's birthday. We usually hang out on each other's birthday. I thought we would have done lunch together or something. Maybe I should call him and see what he is doing.
