"Let's go" Will ordered gruffly, his voice was neither agitated nor calm it was emotionless, he was oddly good at keeping everything bottled up inside of himself "if we hurry we can make it to Moon pack by sunset" I sucked in a sharp breath, I only had a few hours left before I would face my father and the entire Moon Pack, I was dreading seeing my old pack almost as much as I was dreading seeing my father but this was for me. I had to move, I had to stop being the pitiful, broken girl that everyone saw me as. If I wanted to go back to being my old self I would have to overcome my fears, if I had handled losing my mate and my best friend I could survive confronting my fears. I could do this.

I pushed my long legs despite the fact that with every step the pain in my legs increased, my palms were drenched with sweat and I found it slightly difficult to breath as a result of the panic that was consuming me
"Breath" Jared ordered
"I am but it's not making a difference. I feel like my fear is going to consume me" I admitted to him truthfully. Will, who had been walking ahead of Jared and I this entire time, stopped in his tracks as my words reached his ears and he turned around and walked towards me, stopping directly in front of me. He turned my face towards him with a finger under my chin, he leant in closer so that his scent invaded my nostrils and his face was mere inches from my own.
"You control your fear, it cannot consume you nor can it hold you back if you take charge. Don't let your fear make you back down, Shanan. You've made it so far and that proves how strong you are, don't let your fear make your efforts useless. I know you can do this" his words seemed to run through my veins and spread all over my body, sending tingles throughout me. His words brought out a feverish need to pursue this path I was taking and to overcome my fears. I threw myself into his arms, there were no sparks or tingles. No, there was so much more, there was this absolute contentment, a sense of belonging.

"Will do you realise I am giving up my past" I didn't pause to let him answer "Will I'm ridding my life of everything that holds me back from moving on. Will your one of the things that are holding me back" I looked up into his enchanting, green eyes
"Do you, Will Grant, realise I have to give you up as well" please fight for me, please, please, pleas-
"I do".
