"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.
