Kaden was an idiot. He didn’t listen. Rebel was the key to getting Rising Moon and instead of listening to me and the strategy that would have given him what he wanted and the revenge I sought, he decided to do things his way and got himself killed. I still remember the scene I walked back into the next morning. Instead of claiming Rebel and getting laid, I found him without lips, gashed, and his heart ripped out. The scene was brutal and the stench of blood and rotting corpse filled the cave.
After that, I saw how Dale, that bastard was brought by the council to Blackstone and then after a while was taken to the prison at the southwestern council, along with his useless mate and brat. I never thought I would see him again after all these years as I didn’t see him anywhere in the future, but there he was, looking like a homeless man. He looked gaunt and scrawny. Not the strong, muscular man I remembered bedding all those years ago while we plotted out revenge on Blue Moon and Rising Moon.
He always felt he should have been Alpha. He was second born though and that means he was not in line to inherit the pack. He loved Sydney but she was fated to his brother and the rage and jealously ate at him, piece by piece. It made him damn near feral in bed and vicious outside the bedroom. After his plan was executed, I had him leave with the brat and told him I would come to him when the time was right. I told him to lay low in Ironclaw and even conjured up a fake history so he could become beta and pose as his brother without anyone suspecting.
Then Kaden had to go and rush things. I have been planning for over thirty years to get my revenge against Reid and Adele. Adele had to come along and mess everything up. What’s so great about being fated mates any way? Reid had given me his attention. I was working with him honestly and I loved him. I know he had feelings for me too, because he had started courting me. We were so close and he was talking about a future with me. Even though he had not asked me to be his Luna yet, I could tell the conversation was heading that way.
Then one day, Adele showed up from another pack during negotiations with another pack. She was born and raised in Rising Moon, but she never crossed paths with Reid until she was hired to be one of the cooks at the pack house for the event, since they were short staffed. Before then, Reid never scented her and his attention was always on me, so he never went in search of his fated mate.
The Moon Goddess screwed me out of my future and Reid’s love. She put Adele in Reid’s path and everything changed. Reid tried to let me down gently, but I was devastated. I loved him and we were close to ruling Rising Moon, side by side and hand in hand. From there, everything tasted bitter. My heart was crying for a love I no longer had from Reid, because he gave it to Adele. I despised her and I decided to take matters into my own hands to win Reid and his love for me back. I wanted him to see an illusion of Adele in bed with another man. It
would have worked too, except, his Beta overheard me and went to tell Reid what I was planning. Reid waited until the illusion was running before he found me with Adele in hand, and he was furious.
When he asked me why, I told him. I told him I loved him. I told him that I felt abandoned after he was courting me to leave me like I was nothing. He chose Adele, a woman who could offer him nothing and I would have ruled beside him in Rising Moon and taken it to greater places and power than he could have ever dreamed and I would have done all of it for love. I was balling my eyes out to him, while Adele looked at me dispassionately, he made the decision to banish me from the pack. He called it mercy. He said he wouldn’t have me executed for treason in the name of what we once had, but he could not allow me to stay. He had me hauled out and tossed off the pack lands like a rag doll.
Any respect and love I had for him died in that moment. I vowed I would see the Rising Moon’s downfall. I

vowed I would destroy every product of their love, starting with their first born child, Sydney. It was a happy coincidence when Dale came to me looking for my services to eliminate his brother and the woman he loved that was fated to another. His story was so close to mine, that I didn’t hesitate to help him. We discussed every detail and executed it to perfection. I remember the way Reid and Adele broke down and howled the loss of their daughter and granddaughter. It gave me a satisfaction I had needed for so many years. I felt at peace for the first time in years and I was planning on having an even more euphoric experience when I brought Rebel back and watched her be killed by Kaden in front of them. Then he would have been able to conquer the Rising Moon pack and gain his Alpha King title, while my revenge would have been complete.
Now, Rebel is pregnant. I’m waiting until she gives birth. I was hoping that Cullen would have killed her or something, but no. Instead of eating his food, he played with it and it got him killed. I will have to finish my plan alone. These Alpha men have too damn big an ego to keep things simple. Once Rebel gives birth, then I will finish her off and her pups in front of Reid, Adele and Austin. Sure, Austin hasn’t done anything to me, but he is a casualty that will have to endure the pain and my wrath to the Rising Moon blood line.
