Chapter 32: Her Second Chance Alpha

Tomorrow is the Luna Ceremony and I know that with everything going on tomorrow, Sara will not spend as much time in the cells as she normally does. She will more than likely help with the set up for the ceremony with the former Luna and the Beta Female. So, after discussing it with Trigger, we decided that it would be best to put the first part of the plan into action.

It was almost nightfall now and I have been watching and waiting just outside the cell doors for Sara to emerge. Holly actually left about an hour ago, exiting the cells and made her way back up the hill to the pack house. This was the first time I had seen her go down to the cells since she had arrived.

The thought did cross my mind about just taking the rogue instead of messing with Sara in the first place, but after seeing the way her wolf fought during the training sessions, I decided to stick with the original plan. Take Sara first and then Holly.

Finally, an hour after the normal time she would normally leave, Sara exits the building, the heavy metal doors banging loudly as they close behind her. Happiness is easy to see on her face as she makes her way to the tree line and removes her clothes and places them in one of the hiding spots as she shifts into her light grey wolf.

Following behind her, I made sure to stay just far enough away that I could still see her wolf as she made her way through the trees but would not be able to see me. She ran to one of the little streams that flows through the pack territory, stopping to have a drink.

I stayed hidden amongst the trees and shadows quickly shifting back to my human form as quietly as possible. Reaching down, I untied the small drawstring bag that I had tied to my leg that holds the syringes with the tranquilizers. I hide one of the syringes in my hand as I step out of the shadows. Sara's wolf tenses as she notices my presence and she swirls around to face me, her lips pull up into a snarl as she watches me closely, her wolf growls low in her chest.

"Easy there. I was just out for a run myself and thought you could use the company, since we are not supposed to be out here alone since the attack anyway." I said, raising my arms, trying to gain her trust enough to where she would let her guard down.

At one time, Sara and I used to be good friends as kids, but after I got my wolf, my dad forbade me to have any unnecessary contact with her anymore or any of the higher-ranked wolves.

"Now I know you are not doing this just to be nice, so what is it that you want?" Sara said through a mindlink. Her words were tense with unease filling her voice. Her eyes followed me where ever I moved, never letting me out of her sight.

Keeping the syringe carefully hidden in the palm of my hand, I make my way a little closer to her, Sara's wolf letting out another growl the closer I get. "I only want to make sure that you are safe. Can't have anything happen to the Beta's little sister, now can we?"

"Oh yeah" She says sarcastically as she raises one of her wolfie eyebrows at my reason why.

"Come on now, I know I am not your favorite person in the world right now, but it really is not safe for you to be out here all by yourself." I said, a small smirk now on my face as I watched as confusion settled over her wolf's features.

I made my way just a little bit closer, slowly uncapping the needle with my thumb without sticking myself with it and adjusting it in my hand behind my back now. "I mean I know I am not your rogue mate that's locked up right now." I said with a sneer.

Shock crosses her wolf's face and I use that opportunity to plunge the syringe into her wolf's shoulder, quickly pushing the plunger down, injecting the tranquilizer into her system.

Her wolf let out a yelp at the sudden pain in her shoulder before she attempted to bite my arm. I take a step back as she begins to stumble back and forth as the sedatives start to take effect. Her body now forcing her to shift back to her human form as she falls to the ground.

Standing above her, I smile. "Sorry you got dragged into this." I say as her eyes flutter close, her head falling to the side.

"Sh*t" I muttered to myself. This was not supposed to be part of the plan. There on her neck is a fresh mates mark. How they managed to mark each other while he was in the cell I don't know.

"Well f*ck" I said as I ran my hand through my hair in frustration as I examined the mark on her neck. "Do you think he felt that?"

"Ha, more then likely." My Wolf says sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "We need to hurry before he sounds the alarm." Dan says urgently now.

I picked Sara up bridal style and ran as fast as I could in my human form to the little cabin just past the pack border. I have been 'volunteering' to guard this area of the pack, so I do not have to worry about being seen by any of the other guards, since there are no other pack wolves close by.

Crossing over the border, I know it is not much farther to the cabin now. Sara should be out for a couple of hours from the wolfsbane and then she still won't be able to connect with her wolf or any other pack members after she does wake up, until the silver makes its way completely out of her system.

I can finally see the light from the cabin as it shines through the darkness of the forest. Stepping out of the trees, I saw many more wolves then I had expected to be there and one of them jumps in front of me snarling and snaps his jaws in my direction.

His wolf's eyes are like nothing I have seen before, they are small like a pin point. Their wolves act as if they have gone completely feral. More wolves began to circle Sara and I. Dan let out a warning growl for them not to come any closer.

"Enough" came a voice from the darkness, drawing their attention away from me now. All the wolves immediately stop growling and slip quietly back into the darkness that surrounds the cabin.

Two people step out from the darkness and into the moon's light. One is Trigger and another man beside him who looks very sinister as he looks at Sara and me.

"Alexander, pup, pup, Alexander" Trigger says as he motions to each of us. Dan growled again, agitated about being called a pup once again. Trigger steps forward, taking Sara from my arms and turns to take her back into the cabin.

The Alexander guy watches me curiously with a sneer as he now circles me. He is someone powerful, I can tell by the way he carries himself, even though I'm sure he has a pendent or something to block his scent, since he smells just like a human too.

"Tell me 'Pup' why are you going against your alpha?" He asks as he continues to circle me.

I gulp as a sudden nervousness washes over me. "A rogue will never make a good Luna. She would destroy our pack." I stated as calmly as I could.

He suddenly stops directly in front of me and quickly grabs my throat, lifting me into the air. 'Sh*t' I said to myself as I struggled to breathe.

"TRIGGER!!!!!" He roars out, his grip tightening even more. I clawed at his hand, trying to free myself from his death grip. But to no avail, his grip only constricts my airway even more.

"What happened?" Trigger asked as he ran back outside from the cabin to see what all the commotion was about.

"WHAT DOES THIS PUP MEAN WHEN HE SAYS THAT A ROGUE CAN NOT BE HIS PACKS LUNA?" He roars again, the ground slightly shaking from it and his eyes darkening. "IS THERE SOMETHING YOU FORGOT TO MENTION?"

Trigger now looks very nervous, "I did not feel it was necessary at the time, since the bond is not complete, but yes, it appears that she has a second chance mate, who just so happens to be the Alpha of Blackwater."

The Alexander guy drops me just as quickly as he had originally grabbed me and storms over to Trigger. A loud growl comes from him as he throws a right hook, catching Trigger in the cheek before he tumbles to the ground.

He turns back around, storming back towards me, "Have they completed the bond yet?" He questions as I try to catch my breath again. His eyes are almost completely black and it seems he is trying to keep from shifting.

"She is marked but Alpha Jason is not." I tell him and a loud growl rumbles from his chest.

"I want her here now." He says as his voice blends with his wolf's. "GO NOW" He roars, shaking the ground beneath us.

He didn't need to tell me twice. Retreating back to the forest, I made my way to the pack house. That guy was very unstable with the way he reacted to her being the Luna to Blackwater. Once I reach the edge of the forest that surrounds the pack house I grab a pair of clothes that I had stashed earlier in the day from their hiding spot and hastily put them on. I sneaked into the pack house through the back door, being extremely careful not to be seen by anyone.

Taking the side staircase, I made my way up to the second floor and down the hall to the Luna Office. I turned the handle slowly and thankfully it was open and no one was inside. I walk around the desk and place the red envelope in the center of the desk where it can't be missed. The first plan had been to take Sara and have Holly turn herself over to us in exchange for her friend but we had changed it at the last minute.

Backing my way out of the office, I closed the door softly behind me and scanned the hallway, making sure that I had not been seen coming out of the office.

I found the nearest omega. "Hey, do you know where the new Luna is? I just walked past her office and the phone was ringing." I said as innocently as possible, throwing in a charming smile at the omega she wolf.

"Oh, I will let her know then, Thank you." The she wolf says bashfully as her cheeks turn a shade of light pink and she turns to go in search of the Rogue she wolf.

"Now we wait" says Dan, and I sneer at the back of the omega as she walks away.
