"It will all work out, Alpha," Logan told him in an unusual display of ement of his Beta’s words There was a san but he just shook it off Logan was his iven Dillon a reason to doubt his trust

"I’ht We need to leave here at 9:15 in the an

"As you say, Alpha," Logan responded He watched his Alpha walk towards the rooan told the other wolves that he was going to go get so to drink, they didn’t question him Why would they, he was second to the Alpha In reality he needed to finalize his plan He was going to have to make sure that Jacque wasn’t conscious when he took her because she would be able to alert the pup as trying to claim her Much to his surprise, when he had contacted the Coldspring pack and sniffed around to find out which members were still loyal to their dead Alpha, he had discovered that the doctor treating Jacque was Lucas Steele’s sister And wouldn’t you know it the dear old doc was very forthcoer towards Vasile and his pup, so upset in fact, she offered her assistance Things could not be going better Doctor Cynthia Steele was going to coive her and Jen extra doses of ht he re her, would be in the room The only way to keep her knocked out without chemical use would be to use a pressure point in the neck to keep her unconscious She would ith a horrendous headache but it was better than having to harm her to keep her subdued

Next, he had to procure transportation and a place to take her That hat he was going to do tonight Once again the Coldspring pack illing to accoruntled wolves ere angry at the death of their Alpha, they had offered up their assistance One of the wolves, he didn’t know his na hiain Dr Steele stepped up and loaned hiht that would work out well because he figured once they knehat had happened they would never think he would take her back to his ho Jacque fro where they were so she couldn’t send Fane any clues Until he had bonded with her and done the blood rites she would have thathiive hi lot closest to the ER The plan to get Jacque out was simple Dr Steele would transport her on a stretcher to a side door that physicians used right next to the ER Since there was always coency Roourney out the side Logan would pull the car right up and slip her inside If things continued as they were he would be on his way to Colorado with his mate in tow in no time He smiled to himself, quite impressed with his ability to plan all of this on his own

He walked out the back exit to the hotel and, true to his word, the aited with the keys

"It’s a tan Ford Escape, so it won’t stand out I parked right where you told an

"Thank you, I appreciate all of your help" Logan’s voice was full of truth, he really was appreciative Without the Coldspring pack’s help this endeavor would have been lad that the Roet to keep our Alpha’s chosenour Alpha froan didn’t want to linger here so he thanked the wolf again and then headed back to his room As he entered the suite, he saw that the others had turned in already He decided to take a quick shower since he didn’t figure he would get another one for a couple of days

As he laid down in his bed, the crisp hotel sheets itchy against his skin, he couldn’t get co to do with the itchy sheets and ht in histo exa on his soul His wolf approved of what the h They both knew that Jacque would be better off with a an closed his eyes, trying once more to fall asleep, but it eluded hiht

Dillon woke to the sound of his phone alar off He reached over to the bedside table and picked it up to cancel the alarm He took a deep breath, sat up, and rubbed his hand across his face, trying to dislodge the sleep frorinned Today he would hter for the first time He was scared out of his mind, but he was happy as well He took a quick shower, shaved and dressed quickly in plain Levi’s, a black t-shirt, and black boots When he eed from his room he saw that all of his pack were up and dressed and ready to go

He looked at his watch and saas 9:15 on the dot "Let’s head out," he told thean and the other wolves fell in line and followed Dillon out

Once in the car and on their way to the hospital, Dillon turned to Logan "I an nodded his head in encouragement for Dillon to continue

"I’ve decided that after I’ve introduced myself and spent a little bit of tihts and let Lilly know oing to hit the fan, so be ready Dr Steele is going to make sure security is ready if need be"

"We will be ready," Logan assured his Alpha
