Teamwork and promises

Gabriel 

We get back to the pack and my insides are tangled.

I don't know how to face the members of my pack. Maybe that is why I have been staling. My patrollers were hurt the last time I was here, and I disappeared without a trace.

I am supposed to be the leader but these days, I feel like I am second to everyone. I don't know if I am capable of protecting everyone.

"You don't have anything to be worried about baby," Lucas tells me as he parks the car in front of my gates.

We have a plan; he is supposed to talk to his people, and I will do the same for mine. In these trying times, we have to forget about the enmity between our packs. We need to come together and even though I know it will be hard to convince the people, we have to try.

"I am not worried," I roll my eyes even though I am lying.

He chuckles, slowly "I know you and I know that you are overthinking things. You are the Alpha, you've got this."
