The Young Luna

Chapter 47

Seth smiled, a twist and mischievous smile of a man with a plan. He glanced over at me once more

and our eyes met. Before Seth looked back at his brother – almost identical in looks – barely two years

younger than him. The man he had just announced would die.

Dale was silent for a few seconds before he smiled back at his brother. "I know you better than most,

Seth, and I know that you are not going to kill me".

"I don't think I ever said I was going to kill you, brother" Seth replied, "I simply said that for me to take

over the Pack that Dale Zev needed to die".

Suddenly, Sofia was next to me – her hands under her pregnant stomach as she breathed out heavily

from where she'd obviously run all the way to us, after hearing about the confrontation.

"Easy" I said, putting my hand on her arm to steady her. She was blowing out hard and in her condition,

that was not a good thing. A few people glance in our direction – at their previous Luna and their

current Luna – before their attention was pulled away from us and back towards the Alpha brothers.

"So, what? You're going to have someone else kill me?" Dale demanded.

"You really think that I would do that? That is a weak man's move".

"But you're saying that I have to die yet--"

"Oh for god's sake" I yelled, interrupting the bickering brothers. Everyone turned to me. "Dammit Dale,

he's not going to kill you. You just need to disappear so that everyone can think that you're dead. We

had fake ID's made for you and Sofia. The name Dale Zev needs to die but you don't".

There was a moment of stunned silence over the Pack, before Seth frowned at me. "I was getting to

that".

"Yeah in the most over dramatic way possible" I rolled my eyes at him. Seth sighed heavily before

turning to his brother.

"We have our problems, Dale, but you know that I would never hurt you. And I would never leave your

child fatherless". Seth looked at his brother for a few seconds before turning to address the Pack. "You

all must understand. The Council will not allow for me to become Alpha once more when Dale is alive.

And they will not take my word about my brother's death".

"You needed witnesses" Dale realised, nodding softly in understanding.

"Correct" Seth confirmed. "I need to return as the Alpha of the Equniox Pack because this is my home

and you all are my family. Yesterday I took control of the Black Bloods Pack and today I return to take

control of my Pack. But, I cannot do that with my brother alive but I will not allow for my brother to die".

"He's not going to kill him, right?" Sofia whimpered, gripping onto my hand as her eyes water.

"No, of course not" I replied, "he's just being dramatic as always".

"So, I need the help of my Pack" Seth said, speaking to the people he used to rule. "I need all of you to

say that you witnessed the death of Dale Zev". His blue eyes assessed the Pack members before his

eyes set on mine – knowing that I needed to set the tone.

"I witnessed it" I announced loudly, making Sofia jump next to me from the volume and suddenness of

my voice. My words rang through the air, cutting the tension like a sharp bladed knife. There was a

moment before another 'I witnessed it' rang from the crowd, then another and another and

another...until the entire Pack swore that they had witnessed Seth kill his brother.

It all seemed to go quickly after that. Seth was made Alpha once more – and Dale didn't even contest –

before he swept us back into the Alpha house. Our house. Sofia and Dale sat on one of the couches,

their hands joined tightly, as Seth sat on the single seat and I perched on the arm.

"So where are we going to go?" Dale asked, frowning deeply.

"Black Bloods. With the new Yellowstone Wolves joining, the Pack won't notice when I slip you onto

that list. We'll claim that after your death, Sofia moved to Black Bloods and then you two can go from

there".

"So you'll put me down as a Yellowstone Wolf?"

"Yemi Holbach to be exact" I replied, throwing the rucksack to my brother-in-law. Dale opened the bag

and pulled out a fake passport and driving license for Yemi Holbach but with his picture. Yemi – the

Yellowstone Wolf who had attacked me all though months ago – had wanted to stay in Yellowstone, like

we expected, so it didn't take much to swap Dale in as him.

Dale was quiet for a long while, looking at the ID's, before putting them back in the bag. He then looked

up at us soberly. "I really am sorry for everything that happened, Seth".

"Shit happens. I know better than anyone, this shit has been brewing since I made the decision to

leave those Wolves in Yellowstone" Seth replied, shrugging. "All that matters now is that everyone is

alive, the Yellowstone Wolves are back where they should be and I have my Pack back".

"I guess we'd better go back" Sofia muttered. She looked very dazed, as did her mate, but they knew

that they didn't have much of another chance. Dale was no Alpha and he knew that the Pack was not

behind him. He was not stupid and he knew that failing as an Alpha would not have been good – the

other Alpha's would have descended and ripped the Pack apart if he had of failed. And Seth would

never have let his Pack be broken up.

"So, I guess everything worked out all right then" I commented as the door shut behind Dale and Sofia

– leaving us alone in our old house.

"I've missed this house" Seth said, almost reading my mind.

"This house does have a lot of memories for us" I replied, sharing a smile with him. My mate offered

me a bright smile, before wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me down from the chair's arm

and onto his lap.

"I love you" he said to me, kissing me lips quickly.

"I love you too, you idiotic macho Alpha" I teased, resting my head against his shoulder. Seth chuckled

softly before going quiet. We both sat there for a while, knowing that when we got up and faced the

world once more that we'd be busy. Super busy.

Seth and I were now the leaders of two Packs, one of them the largest in the country. We would be

spending our time bouncing between two Packs, leading both while trying to maintain a normal life. We

needed to work out a plan, a solid plan, that made our lives easy. And that was what we should have

been doing.

But, instead, we just took a pause. A moment for ourselves. Silent and thoughtful. Because we knew

that everything was about to change for us. So for a moment we let the world go around us.

Of course, it was me that broke the silence.

"You are thinking very hard" I mused, running my finger over his sharp jawline with his stumble tickling

my fingertips.

"I want a child" Seth blurted out.

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I was speechless – which was something that had never

happened before. And it wasn't that I didn't know what to say, it was more due to the fact that my brain

just switched off.

"A child" I finally muttered, chewing on my bottom lip. "A baby...a child...someone dependent on me".

Seth looked at me seriously, "I know it's a scary idea especially with everything going on at the

moment. And I wouldn't have mentioned it if I was deadly serious about what I want. I've always

wanted to be a father, but it was always something I was going to do later in life. And now I'm thirty and

I have two Packs and a mate I love...so I know that this is the time".

"We need two heirs now. Future Alpha's for both Packs".

"Yes, the eldest son will take over Equinox and the next son will take over Black Bloods" Seth said,

nodding to himself, happy with his plan.

"What if it's a daughter?"

"I've fucked with the Council enough these past few months. If you want to challenge the law that

states only men can be Alpha, then be my guest" he snorted, giving a bitter laugh that made me smile.

"Maybe I'll leave that one for someone else to do" I admitted, knowing that I didn't want anything more

to do with the Council. Silence fell between us once again. "So...a kid, huh?"

"Are you alright with this?"

"I don't know...let me think about it. I will give you an answer soon as I can. I'm sorry, Seth, it's not that I

don't want kids with you, it's whether I am ready for them now or not. And I don't know. Let me think

about it".

"That is all I can ask" Seth said, before leaning over and gently kissing my lips. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Silence fell around us once more, before Seth sighed heavily. "I guess we have to get to work really,

don't we?"

"I guess so" I replied, sharing a smile with him. "I think we got away with it all".

He laughed, "it looks like we did".
