Dylan clapped, “GOD, it’s so fun being me.” I answered the phone, “Hang on, Jase.” I linked Cory, “I need you to gather your siblings in the main house here. If they can’t come now that’s ok, you’ll just have to fill them in later.”
I then linked my cousin Austin, “Are you with Arlina?” Austin answered, “I can be.” I urged, “Get her and yourself to the main room in the main house.” Austin growled, “What happened?” I snorted, “We got some not so great news.” I closed the link.
I took a deep breath and said, “Jase, I don’t have a lot of time.” Jason growled, “How the HELL did Patricia of ALL people get around ALL of us?” I snorted, “We don’t monitor our pack's email communication.” Jason sighed, “Yeah, apparently my little sister is big brother.”
I laughed, “Be glad my mom can’t hear you. We will figure it all out. Patricia can’t have too much information on everyone else. It’s mostly going to be us.” Jason sighed, “It probably is. Still, it’s obnoxious. Dalton and Dakota are trying to formulate a plan as to how to catch this in the future.”
I replied, “Something tells me there is already a plan in motion, we just don’t know it. There will be people in every pack who pass tidbits to the Supernatural Council. That just is what it is. To this scale though, they flipped someone in our pack.”
“They probably tried in yours. If you don’t have a name, then the odds are you don’t have one. Robert was just a betrayer to the Ring. So, there’s that wonderful news. You had that going for you. Robert probably didn’t realize he could double dip.”
Jason admitted, “Malachi got a name.” I groaned, “Great.” EJ said, “We can call him later. Everyone but Cassie is waiting for us. Our sister is going to be brought up to speed by Cayden.” Uncle Bjourn snorted, “Don’t mess with a woman who leans towards her Hackura side during pregnancy.”
My mom added, “Cassie is probably worried about her own children. She won’t want someone reporting what they can do. She’s probably DAMN glad the pack doesn't know she’s pregnant yet. Because if Patricia had given information on that, I’d have strung her up by her toenails and left her hanging somewhere. AFTER I took her wolf, which I will still fucking do.”
My Uncle Bjourn said, “It takes a long time to die that way.” My mom snorted, “That was NOT going to be how that bitch died, just how she suffered while waiting. I have a whole fucking plan. That you all and your trials fucked up. Now, I have a different fucking plan.” My Uncle Bjourn smiled, “She will suffer, little one.” My mom sighed, “I know.”
I walked out of the office and met my siblings and cousins in the main room. EJ linked me, “I’ll start the conversation.” I nodded. EJ told them all, “I wish I had something happier toupdate you on right now. Mom always taught us that sometimes betrayal comes from a place you don’t expect. That it stings, but you learn from it and keep going.”
Calvin asked, “Who betrayed us?” EJ answered, “Patricia has been giving the Supernatural Council information about the hybrids in this pack and the allies closest to us for quite some time. They know most of what all of us can do.” It was dead silent.
Porter cursed, “That mother fucking bitch!” EJ added, “Dad has received requests from the Supernatural Council for us and our abilities over the years. Alexander and I have not received any since we took over, and I have my suspicions as to why that is.”
Cory interjected, “Without a doubt it was stopped by the Muffin Luna. Did she hack the Supernatural Council?” I answered, “Technically she hacked Patricia first, I think. Then continued to hack the Supernatural Council.”
“It’s clear their files are compromised. We’ve wondered how the Ring has been able to target our family directly. It’s haunted me particularly with my mate’s situation, but they had inside information. They have for years. We don’t have the edge on them we thought we did as far as the powers we didn’t think they knew we possessed.”
Austin growled, “Do they know what my Luna can do?” EJ answered, “They do. The Supernatural Council know what all of the Henderson’s can do. They have more information than I’d like about all of my cousins in this pack, Hackura included. Hell, they know more than I wanted anyone to know about my siblings. I’m sorry guys. I failed you.”
Preston disagreed, “You didn’t, Patricia did. Are we going to fight the Supernatural Council? They are coming for Melanie, aren’t they? Patricia knew Melanie was the white wolf. She sawher that day and told a bunch of people before William and I shut her down.”
I answered, “Melanie stopped them from receiving the communication about her being the white wolf. Then dug into what all they knew about us and our allies. My mate believes they will show up here under the guise of checking on her, given everything that’s happened.”
Calvin asked, “What’s the plan then?” EJ explained, “Melanie wants to use the fact that their files were hacked by the Ring to give them false information and bait them into a trap. To do that, the Supernatural Council has to run as it always has. Technically speaking, Ladybug plans to blackmail them.” He wasn't wrong.
Angela spoke, “It works. In case anyone was curious. They don’t stay long, and mom manages not to kill anyone.” TJ snorted, “That’s a miracle.” It kind of was. Angela nodded, “Yup. So, can I go see Klaus now?” I withheld my cringe. My baby sister was still a baby to me, but Klaus was her mate.
EJ replied, “If you don’t have any other questions.” Angela shook her head, “Nope. I already know Melanie’s plan works. She’s got a LOT of plans guys, just saying.” I asked, “About the Supernatural Council?”
Angela smirked, “Not just about them, no.” I pressed, “Any plans that you care to share?” Angela giggled, “That wouldn’t be any fun!” My little sister sobered, “I will be watching the paths of the Supernatural Council more closely. I should’ve caught this.”
I shook my head telling her, “No, this isn’t on you. We had no reason to watch them.” Angela shrugged, “I’m still going to watch them moving forward.” I snorted, “Should you figure if one of said council members started the Resistance, let us know.”
Angela laughed, “I’ll be sure to take Klaus and have a chat with them if I see that. I think you’re wrong though.” With thatshe popped away. I groaned, “Ugh. Would it kill my siblings that lean towards their Fairy side to share just a bit more?”
Julian laughed, “No, but it wouldn’t be fun.” I raised an eyebrow asking, “Do you have an idea?” Julian sighed, “Not exactly. Your theory is the most logical one.” I asked, “What’s the other theory?” Julian said, “Mason or Hendrick run the Resistance. Maybe they were just on a smaller scale, then Melanie entered their lives.”
“Your mate took their idea and made it expand on a larger scale. Their diner is very lucrative for them. When Melanie joined Black Path, she got them MILLIONS of dollars back from the Alpha for their business. They have t-shirts and an online store now that Melanie has joined them. They have other businesses too.”
“Mason and Hendrick King are loaded. They had the insider knowledge to know the talent of the members in Black Path. Combined with Melanie’s skills, I think they are solid contenders for who runs the Resistance.”
“Micah and Uncle Gunner are running into issues tracking down who is really behind the Resistance. That’s because of the false fronts Melanie put up. I think she’s far more likely to protect Mason and Hendrick than some unknown Supernatural Council backer.”
“She’d have given them up the second she found out that her family was alive. They would’ve had the information the whole time. That person on the Supernatural Council would’ve known it was all a lie and left her there to suffer. I don’t think Melanie would take that betrayal lying down.”
I nodded, “Playing devil’s advocate, Melanie knew the Supernatural Council was going to come here about her. She stated that. Blackmailing them and threatening lawsuits is a form of revenge against people who care about their reputation.”
“That could be her way at starting to get back at them. A Beta blood would plan their revenge out like that. Melanie was ready to go with a plan to bring them down and use them until she’s done with them. That didn’t happen overnight.”
