Trevor introduces Ben as Beta. Strange that he didn’t introduce Mona with Ben. Trevor's next words clarify everything. Now I know his game plan.
“And your next Gamma, Mona True”
I think everyone here is in complete shock. I froze in my spot. Alpha Connor tried to run interference and stop Trevor before he takes this too far, but of course, Trevor didn’t listen.
“Son, what are you doing?” Alpha Connor asked “Seleste is the next Gamma.”
“No, dad.” Trevor answers him. “I don’t think Seleste is the right one for the position. Seleste has done nothing but undermine my authority in the pack for the last year. As alpha, I can’t have anyone under me who does not respect my position as head of the pack. I want Mona as my Gamma. I think that is best for the pack.”
Trevor is adamant that he does not want me to serve in a position of power. I’m just going to sit back for now and let him hang himself. Unfortunately, the entire pack will see that he is not fit to lead. He continues with what he thinks will be his trump card. This will not end well. Trevor looks at his dad and goes in for the kill.
“Dad, my mate and I discussed this. Aside from the fact that Seleste does not respect me or my position, it is common knowledge that Seleste is in love with me. My mate does not feel that Seleste will have her best interest at heart. My mate does not feel safe with Seleste, being in charge of our safety and security. As her mate, I have to put her first and protect her peace of mind. Seleste being here affects her peace negatively and I can’t have that.”
Ok, I know my thoughts are showing on my face now. He just told the pack that I’m a threat because I secretly love him. He is really reaching. I look at the pack and warriors. No one looks like they believe him. At this point, If Alpha Connor does not take control, the pack may revolt against Trevor. Alpha Connor looks at Shana and asks her if this was true.
Trevor answers before Shana can say anything. I’m not the only one who noticed that Trevor did not want her to answer.
“Of course this is true, dad. Why would I tell you something that is not true? Seleste is not the right person to be Gamma.” Trevor says.
I notice my dad is about to lose control. I need to get to him before things go completely left. To defuse the situation and give Trevor what he wants and hopefully stop this drama, I agree that I don’t need the Gamma title.
“Fine.” I tell Trevor. “Gamma is just a title. I don’t need it. Not having the title does not change who I am. I will still train the warrior and fulfill my other obligations. As far as respecting you Trevor, respect is earned, and up until recently, I thought you deserved my respect. You have shown me over the last couple of days that I was mistaken about you. So, you can keep the Gamma position. I don’t want it. As far as being in love with you. That is laughable. I don’t even like you.”
He actually smirks at me. This fool thinks he has won. He is just sad.
“Well, that is settled. Seleste will not be the next gamma. And since you mentioned training the pact, that’s the other thing. I do not want you training my warriors anymore. Since you are mad that you are not the Luna of this pack, how do I know you won’t influence the warriors against me or continue to undermine my authority?”
So that is his game plan. He wants to strip me of all power. Does he really not realize who I am? Everything my family has done for this pack. Now I’m slightly pissed, but I need to try to stay in control so that my father doesn’t kill this fool.
“Are you serious right now, Trevor? I have done nothing but make this pack better. I have spent my life learning and training so that I can strengthen this pack, and you want to take that from me because of your pettiness.”
I let Trevor know that he really does not have that authority to take the training position from me. I train packs under the authority of the council. No Alpha’s word is above that of the council. But since he wants to be petty, I can take my strength, skill and protection to another pack.
“Save it Seleste, I have made my decision. As of now, you are nothing to this pack. Why don’t you find another pack to train, since you mentioned other packs. We don’t want you here.”
“Gladly,” I tell him. “And when I leave, you will take the full blunt of your decisions and the consequences of what you are doing tonight.”
I am so over this bullshit now. This pack needs my family more than I need this. I can leave and be accepted into any pack in the kingdom, including the royal pack.
Ben and the other warrior begin to speak up for me. That appears to make Trevor even more pissed. Right now, his own father and current alpha is looking at him like he has completely lost his mind and he is standing in front of the pack looking proud. I always thought Trevor was pretty intelligent. Now I think there is something wrong with him. He just will not stop digging himself into a hole.
“See, that’s why I need to strip Seleste of her power.” Trevor says in anger and frustration.
“The warriors are more loyal to her than they are to me. You all need to respect me. I am the alpha. What I say goes. None of you have my permission to leave. If you choose to leave, you will be rogues. Will you throw everything away just for her?”
I am so proud of my Elite 12 members. We always stand for what is right.
“I don’t know about the others,” Tim said, “But I would rather go rogue than stay in this pack with you as the alpha. Like Gamma Seleste said, respect is earned, and I just lost all that of it I had for you. Sorry Alpha Connor, I cannot serve your son. I will prepare to leave this pack in the next two hours.” Tim said.
This is not what I wanted at all. I hate to see him destroy the pack, but there is nothing I can do to stop this train wreck.
The Elite Warrior threatening to leave did not even bother Trevor. Any leader would know that the pack would be vulnerable if all their elite warriors left at the same time. More than half of all the warrior of the pack were gathering behind the Elite 12. They are all willing to leave with me. This is truly not what I want. I don’t want to see the pack that my family have help to build and strengthen for generation fall because of Trevor’s stupidity. I look at Alpha Connor, pleading for him to do something. Things are out of control.
“Ok, everybody, just calm down. Nobody makes any rash decisions until we discuss this further.” Alpha Connor says.
Trevor just does not know when to stop. “No dad. There is nothing to discuss. My mate and I do not want Seleste as our Gamma and I will not allow her to continue to influence my pack. As alpha. I have decided. Her and the traitor warriors can leave. I don’t need her. I don’t want her and I don’t need anyone who follows her. She is nothing to this pack but trouble.”
