"Trust" I said, testing the word like I was unsure the meaning of it. But, of course, I knew the word.

Trust. Trusting. Trustworthy. Confianza . Didn't matter how much I said it, or in which language, it meant

the same thing to me. "Trust" I said again.

"Yes, trust, May" Seth replied, looking over the table at me. "You trust me. Don't you?"

"You know that I do" I replied dryly. As much as I wanted to fight with Seth because of the flaws in his

dangerous and epic plan, I couldn't. Not when we had company around us. Seth and I sat either side of

the table in our small cabin, the rest of the chairs were filled with people that we 'trusted'. That word

again, trust.

Dean and Josh sat on one side of the table and Javier and Ollie on the other side. We were quiet for a

long moment as everyone got their heads around the plan that Seth had just proposed. It was a crazy

plan. An insane plan. A plan that could get us all killed. And, fuck, it might just work.

"Can I ask a question?" Dean frowned, crossing his large arms over his chest. I smiled at him, amused

because I had never seen him look serious before – it didn't suit him. I could deny that I had missed the

idiot since he'd taken over being Sofia's guard instead of mine.

"Go ahead" Seth nodded at him.

"Why don't you just challenge Dale? You could easily beat him".

"Because the council will just intervene and say I have not been punished and we'll be back to square

one again with my head on a damn chopping block" Seth replied. "Not to mention they made Dale sign

a Declaration of Position".

"What?" Javier asked, screwing his face up in confusion.

"It's basically a contract in which he legally states he won't hand the Pack back to me nor will he accept

any challenge from me for his position" he explained.

"Mierda" Javier commented.

"Mierda is right my friend" I sighed woefully.

"So" Josh sighed, "Dale has to die. There is no other way".

Seth and I exchanged a look, before he turned to his previous Beta. "Correct, there is no other way. My

brother has to die".

We spent a few more hours hashing out the details of our plan. We could only trust certain people and

they were the only ones we were getting involved. I had wanted Shawna involved, but Seth was

concerned she was too submissive and would give us up if Dale applied his Alpha command, even if

she really didn't want to.

After everyone left, Seth and I spent an hour or so packing our individual bags. In the morning we'd

both be leaving, but we wouldn't be leaving together. And that was terrifying. I knew that we both had

our own part to play in order to get the Pack back, and that it was time to me to be the Luna that the

Pack needed, but that didn't mean I wasn't nervous.

"Have you finished packing?" Seth asked, as he put his rucksack by the front door.

"Almost" I replied.

"You hungry?" he asked me. Walking over he wrapped his arms around be from behind, his warm

chest hard against my back. I sighed heavily as I leant against him, his hands casing around me to rest

on my stomach. "I can go out and grab us some food, don't think we have anything to cook with".

I titled my head back and looked up and into his blue eyes. Leaning down, he kissed the top of my

head. I quickly agreed to food, but he didn't instantly leave. He just held me against him for a few

minutes. "Are you alright?"

"Not even a little bit" he replied, offering me a nervous smile. He may have been all strength and

dominance with our friends, but with me he showed his true feeling and insecurities. I turned around in

his arms, before leaning up and pressed a gentle kiss to his jaw.

"I'm not either" I nodded. "But I know that we have to do something. I maybe be terrified that you're

going to get hurt or be killed, but I know that you can't not be an Alpha. That is a part of who you are

and a part of the man I fell in love with".

"And the strong beautiful Luna is part of what made me fall in love you with". He kissed me gently and I

melted into his hold and his love. When he pulled away, he looked a little more relaxed than a few

minutes ago.

"Go" I smiled, nudging him away. "I need to call Chris and explain the plan to him".

Seth left and I called Chris to update him on the situation and the plan we put in place. I needed his

help and he knew that there wasn't anyone else in the Vernal Pack I trusted more than him – and that

was saying something since my entire family were there.

"This is risky, M. If you get caught..." he trailed off.

"I'll have my bow".

"And what? You're just going to shoot everyone who gets in your way" he snorted.

"Not a shoot to kill" I replied, rolling my eyes. "But this is only way that we can do this. So either you're

in or you're out". Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Well if you're doing it then I'm in" he muttered. There was a pause on the other end of the phone for a

few moments before my best friend spoke up again. "This is dangerous, May, I don't understand why

Alpha Zev is letting you do this".

"Because my part of the plan may be dangerous, but his is fucking suicidal".

And wasn't that the damn truth.

The following day, Seth and I got up early. I was leaving before him with Javier and heading back to the

Vernal Pack, while Seth went off to the Black Bloods Pack to challenge Alpha Caster for his position.

While I might get in trouble for what I was going to do, Seth could very well get killed. But, I had to trust

that he was the stronger and faster of the two Alphas and he'd be fine on his own.

Seth cupped my cheek and smiled at me. "If there was anyone else to do this..." he trailed off.

"I'd still fight until I was involved" I admitted, taking my hand in his. "This is my birth Pack I'm talking

about here. Chris and I know every escape route in and out of that Pack, so I know how to get in

undetected. And I'll have Javier with me. We get in, we get it done and we get out again. You have

nothing to worry about it".

Seth's hand squeezed mine, "with you around, trouble, I always have something to worry about". We

shared a smile of amusement, before we heard Javier's car pulling up outside the cabin. We both

glanced towards the window. "You have to go".

"Yes, I have to go". I leant up and kissed him deeply. Seth's hands clasped onto my hips as he

deepened the kiss – and despite the numerous times we'd had sex the night before, I wanted him all

over again. But, it would have to wait until I saw him again.

"You be careful now. I want my mate back in the same condition she left in" Seth teased me, pulling

away as I grabbed my duffle bag and threw it over my shoulder.

"And you be careful too. I want my Alpha back but not at the cost of my mate". I gave him one last look,

saving every part of his to my memory, before I left him behind and headed outside. I jumped in Javier's

car, and quickly we were gone.

"You alright Luna?" he asked, as we drove out of the Equinox territory.

"I'm not technically you're Luna anymore" I mused.

Javier offered me a sweet smile, "soon you will be again. You and Alpha Zev – the first one – are the

true leaders of this Pack".

Javier and I drove throughout the day until we came up to the border of the Vernal Pack. Night was

approaching and the evening air was growing colder. I glanced over at Javier and my stomach churned

in nerves. "You can stay in the car, Luna" he said, seeing my nerves.

"Never going to happen" I replied. We both shared a nod before we climbed out the car and slipped

into the edge of the woods. And just as he promised, I smelt Chris close by. A few seconds later, the

scent grew stronger before Chris moved out from behind a thick tree. I raced over to him and tackled

him into a hug. "Missed you".

Chris was stiff against me, making me pull back in confusion – but Chris was looking over my shoulder.

His expression was tight and I couldn't work out what he was thinking. I followed his eyeline to Javier

and pulled back. "Chris this is Javier. Javi, this is Chris" I introduced them.

Javier stayed silent, running a hand down his face as Chris watched him closely. "Hello Javier" he

nodded. Javier glanced up and the two of them looked at each other for a moment, before Javier shook

his head and turned to me. I didn't understand what was going on, but Javier pulled me from the

confusion by speaking up.

"Luna, we should hurry".

"Yes, we don't have long before the guards change over" Chris said, taking his hand in mine. He looked

at me, the dim evening light making his eye shine. "You sure you're ready to do this".

"Don't worry about me" I shrugged.

"You know I'm a worrier" he winked playfully at me.

I took a deep breath before looking at both boys – both of them almost men – knowing that this was not

going to be easy. I offered them both a smile of insanity.

"Let'sgo break that fucker Rafa out of jail".
