Set up a trap.

Camilla was watching young Luna, who was almost boiling with anger. She was masking it quite well with her politeness, but it was obvious to the witch that they would never be friends. Not that she wanted that. Her main target was standing beside her, watching her with puppy eyes. His wife was just a little obstruction that had to be moved to make everything go smoothly.

Alpha Sean was quick to offer her help.

- Please come inside. The weather is terrible outside. What made you travel in such a condition? - He asked, taking her wet coat.

- My father couldn't forgive himself that we had no more time to discuss the potential alliance. - Camilla accentuated the word ~ potential~ as she had already figured out how important it was for this Alpha, and he was ready to do anything to make it happen.

- That is so thoughtful of him. - Luna replied.

Camilla almost busted into laughter, hearing the young woman gritting her teeth while she said that.

~ She had intuition. ~ The witch thought to herself. This could be even more fun than she was thinking before.

- Let's not keep our quest in the hall. Please follow me to the living room, and I will let Omegas know to get one of the spare rooms for you to stay in. I hope you will feel at home here. - The Alpha offered.

- I am sure I will. - She replied, while his wife was not taking her eyes off her, and her face was getting darker with every passing minute.

Camilla took one of the seats and pretended to listen to what the leader of this pack was talking to her. She thought about what to do next as she archived what she wanted. Alpha invited her to his house, and she had no intentions of leaving it any time soon. She was planning not to leave it at all.

To kill time, Camilla engaged herself in small talk with Alpha, enjoying a cup of tea brought to her by some Omega. Luna was sitting, overseeing them. She looked like someone who was expecting an attack any moment now. The witch found this amusing, as this woman had no idea what was coming to her. But there was no need to rush. Camilla knew that her every step must be well thought out, as she couldn't allow herself any mistakes.

Finally, one omega came down, informing them that the room was ready. Camilla excused herself, leaving the Alpha couple in the living room, and followed the young she-wolf.

When she was finally in her room, there was time for some relaxation, so the witch got herself a hot bath as her body was still cold after standing in the rain.

While lying in the bathtub, she was planning her next move.

The Full Moon Pack was entirely under her control. Alpha William was playing his role like a puppet on the show. After so many years under her spell, he probably didn't even remember who he was. She made him rule their pack with an iron fist, imprinting fear and respect on all their members yet still providing them a high standard of living and safety. He made him feared yet loved by everyone, which was not an easy task.

Of course, he would not live forever, and Camilla was more than ready to help him leave this world, but it was not time yet.

Anyone could think that she had already fulfilled the task Mother gave her. She got a pleasant land where her sister could live a comfortable life. But she needed something more. She understood the laws ruling them through the years she had spent in werewolf society.

At the beginning of her mission, Camilla thought it would be enough to control the Alpha. She was planning to take over the pack after her ~father~ passed away, one way or another. But with time, she understood that the pack would never accept her as their leader. She was a woman, suitable to be a Luna, but not the Alpha. After the death of her ~father~, many males will find themselves better to become a new Alpha.

Camilla was a talented witch, yet not powerful enough to fight them all. So she decided to think ahead and found herself a suitable man she could easily control. She was ready to become his Luna.

The next step would be to merge their packs and make her husband lead them both while she controls him from the shadows.

Then, she would achieve all her goals. Her sisters would finally have their home, while the warriors of both packs would become guard dogs ruled by witches. Anyone who would stand against them would be eliminated.

She spent a few years visiting other packs, looking for a suitable candidate for her plan, but most of the Alphas she met had a strong will and could ruin her whole plan.

Then she heard about a new young Alpha who had recently started in his role. What was even better was that he was actively looking for allies. That made him a perfect target. He was not too experienced and found his mate just a few years ago. There was still time to play with their bond and destroy it.

Camilla decided to invite them to her pack. She liked to call it her pack, as, in fact, she was in charge there as William was doing everything he was told to. When they arrived, the witch got the confirmation she needed. That was the man she was looking for. He could not take his eyes off her, even with his mate by his side. He was so into her that she almost felt sorry for Luna.

Camilla decided not to wait any longer, and during dinner time, she started to pour her special potion into his wine. He was already under her influence. She did it to make sure it would stay like that.

But then, the young Luna came into the picture, ruining her whole plan. He had the audacity to decline the offer of staying in their packhouse. Camilla had to admit that she underestimated the young woman.

After they left, she allowed herself to release some of her anger, destroying a few things in the packhouse. When she calmed down, there was time to create Plan B.

There was no way the Alpha couple would come to their lands anytime soon. She had to appear on their land. It was not a perfect solution, but the witch was running out of time, and she was getting desperate.

So, after increasing her compelling spell on the Alpha, she left her pack in one of their cars. It didn't take too long after she finally reached her destination. Even the weather was doing her a favor as it was raining heavily. One of the patrols stopped her once, but after hearing her name, she was allowed to enter the pack lands.

To add drama to her arrival, she spent a few minutes in the rain, getting wet, to gain pity from the Alpha. And again, Camilla was right, as Sean was extraordinarily welcoming and helpful, just like she expected.

Then his wife arrived. On their first meeting, the witch didn't pay much attention to her until the end. Now, she was more careful.

There was no mistake that this woman didn't fall for her. It looked like she could see through her intentions and knew they were not so pure.

Luna Katherine was an intelligent young woman, and it would take some time to fool her around. But Camilla liked challenges.

First, she had to focus on the Alpha. When she has him wrapped around her finger, then will be the best time to strike and eliminate his mate, once and for all.

Camilla giggled at the thought of the upcoming entertainment waiting for her.

Katherine was standing in the middle of her bedroom, balling her fists. It was not happening!

~ We need to get rid of her as soon as possible.~ Lucy told her, still bearing her teeth at the slightest thought about Camilla.

~ Please, tell me something I do not know!- Luna replied sarcastically, built and quickly reflected herself. ~ I am sorry, Lucy, but having her under this roof makes me crazy.

~ No offense taken. ~ Her wolf replied.~ I feel precisely the same. It would be best to barge into her room and rip off her head.

~ That sounds like a plan, but let's keep it for later. Her whole pack would come if something happened to that bi*ch. - Katherine smiled lightly, allowing her imagination to drift off into the dangerous way. ~ We need to watch her all the time and make Sean send her back. As much as I hate this thought, we need to be closer to him, or she will dig her claws into him again.

~ She can take him. I couldn't care less. ~ Lucy admitted. ~ I am tired of pretending to his wolf that everything is OK.

~ He is unaware of what happened, so his feelings are genuine.~ Katherine pointed out.

~ Yet he did nothing in the past life to save us, to protect us. That is something that can't be forgotten.

~ Don't worry, Lucy, we will not allow them to hurt us again, I promise. We are wiser now. And because the Moon Goddess gave us another chance, there must be a better future for us. ~ The Luna prayed for that every night.

~ I hope so. One way or another, we will survive this time.

~ We will. We all will.
