The Secret They Kept

21.

I woke up preparing for the day that was to come. I was excited to finally get my mate back but most of all to get rid of Caleb and the problems that follow with him. I would finally be free to love Derek and serve as Luna of this pack without having to worry about when Caleb would show up and ruin everything. Soon that will be over and I need to get ready. I dressed in what I could only describe as the most revealing outfit I own. It wasn't my style in the least bit and made me feel like a hooker but it'll keep him distracted. I went over the plan again with Pat to make sure that everything was in order and understood, with that I jumped into my car and drove to the cafe.

I sat in the booth in the back after I got my coffee. Not long after Caleb walked through the door just as predicted and sat down across from me in the booth. We talked normally for me and him, I made snarky sarcastic remarks and he made flirty remarks that made me uncomfortable. I eased into talking to him in flirty tones and once I was sure I had him hooked I pressed the button. Which means Pat and the other wolves were on their way to get Derek and hopefully get me out of here soon. It was an hour later and I ended up sitting next to Caleb and it wanted to make me tear my eyes out. Caleb's face suddenly changed to that of confusion.

"Whats wrong?" I asked him sounding completely normal.

"Strips of your hair are turning red." He answered still very confused.

"It's probably just from forgetting about" Derek. "...about" Derek. "...oh you know who im talking about." Derek, who I hadn't forgotten about, not at all. Actually the only reason I was even doing this was because I needed him back. I could feel all the pain that he was going through. Suddenly all I could feel was relief and security wash over me which meant that they made it to get him and he was safe. It was a short lived feeling as I felt anger, blood curdling anger which meant one thing he asked where I was and they were obligated to tell them. He would be here in 5 minutes flat which would ruin the plan. He was going to get us all killed so I decided I would have to be the one to take him to the pack house jail. I got him out to my car and managed to get him inside the backseat and then grabbed chloroform and the rest was history. I tied together his hands and locked my car after getting out. Its a reinforced car especially designed for werewolves, my dad made it for when I first started out transforming. If he wakes up he won't be able to get out. I decided in that moment to call Pat and see what the hell happened.

"Luna? Is everything alright?" Pat picked up and that's his immediate reaction.

"I'm fine." I said calmly but then continued "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU TELL HIM!"

"He asked where you were and he used the alpha voice so we couldn't exactly say no."

"Caleb's asleep and tied up in my locked car. When did Derek leave?"

"Very impressive, about 4 minutes ago."

"Okay tha-ahhhh" I turned around and Derek was staring back at me worry filled his eyes, his stubble turned into a beard and he looked like he hadn't slept in years. "Der-" He pulled me into his arms and wouldn't let go, but even if he would have I wouldn't have wanted him too. I started crying, it was over, I had him back and I was happy.
