¤MICHELLE¤
One minute I was happy, the next I was nervous.
My hands were clammy and my heart was pounding fast and hard. I wanted to be James' mate and Luna. That's why I said yes and jumped into his arms. But now, as we were walking back to the pack house holding hands, my mind was going into overdrive. I knew for a fact that this was going to cause another outburst. Did people not like me so much that they refused to even think of me as their Luna? Would they leave the pack if I did become their Luna?
We were now at least a mile away from the pack house. It felt like as soon as I step foot in that house, I would be drowned in the harsh reality of my life. I stopped walking and dread filled my body. I didn't want to be told I'm not good enough to be Luna. I don't want the people of my pack, the ones I'm supposed to keep out of harms way, to deny me as their Luna, to deny any protection I might have for them.
James turned me to face him, "Hey, you have no reason to be nervous. Whether they like it or not, you're their new Luna"
"That's the thing James. I don't want them to have to deal with it. I want them to accept it"
"I know, Michelle" He pulled me into a hug, "They'll accept you when they finally get to know you. Anybody would, Michelle"
His words brought me comfort and eased my fear of rejection. He grabbed my hand, pulling me once again to the pack house. I was still slightly worried of what the pack was going to say but James was right. They can't deny my place of Luna. James chose me as his mate and he wants me to run by his side as Luna. So him being their Alpha, they can't go against him. But I just really hope they learn to accept it and maybe get to know me. I'm not a bad person.
We reached the oack house a while later and my hands were getting moist. I could smell the entire pack inside the house. No doubt James told the Ex-Alpha, Jared, that we were coming and to gather the pack. He opened the door, stepping aside to let me enter first. The whole pack was gathered in the living room and the tension was thick in the air. I literally just wanted to crawl under a rock while the pack meeting went on, only to come out when it was over. "Pack,", James spoke in a loud firm voice "greet your new Luna" His voce held his Alpha power and I was greeted with bows and half-hearted smiles.
This was exactly what I didn't want. I knew they were against me being their Luna and I didn't want James to make them deal with it. I wanted them to speak their mind, but be sensitive about it, and we'll discuss everything. I took a big breath, "I know most of you do not think I am worthy to hold the title of Luna of the Blue Moon pack. I know you all have reasons for your judgement. We will discuss and handle this matter civilized. No shouting out. I want one at a time to speak to tell me their reasons.", I tried my best to not studder and to make sure my voice came out confident and powerful. And I think I did a pretty damn good job of it. The pack stared at me. Some in awe and some in anger, maybe at the fact I had bossed them around or whatever. But either way they have to deal with it. I understand they don't want me to be their Luna but they have no reason to object everything I do.
"You barely shifted a couple months ago, what makes you think your able to handle this amount of responsbility?", One man spoke. His Voice was demeaning but I ignored his attitude. James opened his mouth, already looking pissed but I managed to speak before he did.
"Yes, I did shift a year ago but that has nothing to do with how mature I am. I proved myself when I was attacked by the rogues", as I spoke I made my point across by showing them the time I had fought and killed the rogue who tresspassed our lands. Some faces showed understanding and acceptance but not all were moved by my ability to fight. I get it though, I could of just been lucky. Luck my ass, that was skills.
"Don't you think a werewolf with a defective wolf is not fit to be a Luna?", a girl around my age asked. Her voice and face were smug and I'm sure she thought she got me with that question but no. I don't think so.
"My wolf is nor was defective. My wolf and I have spoke about this particular subject and she claims it was all meant to happen. Do not ask me what I mean because I have no idea either. She says nothing more." It was true. I had no idea what she meant by that but she doesn't explain it to me.
"You all are dismissed", His authoritive voice spoke up before anyone else had a chance to ask another question. They left without another word. When it was just me and him, he took my hand and took me upstairs and into his room. His room was exactly how I remenbered it, well it was a little more dirtier. I sat on his bed and he sat next to me. "So... you really don't know why you shifted late?" he asked after a while of silence. I shook my head sadly. I wanted to know more than anything. I wanted to know the reason why I had to suffer for four years. He pulled me into a hug and it was then I realized I was crying. Four years of nonstop suffering. Just for being different. It shows how cruel people can be.
