Changes

Chapter 16- The Prep

"Y'all got a threat. A threat! A damn threat and you didn't tell me?!" I screamed at Matt. Yeah, it's safe to say that, after hearing that the Demon Lord somehow got a piece of paper in the pack's territory saying that he would be here soon, I was pissed he didn't tell me earlier. This is why he wasn't in school today. This is what he didn't tell me yesterday.

"I wasn't going to tell you for you to worry." His soft reply came. Breathe. It was good that we were in the pack's backyard. It was huge and the breeze kind of calmed me, Matt's scent was everywhere.

Breathe.

"This is my fault entirely" I mumbled away from Matt but obviously he heard with his super hearing crap.

"No, don't you dare go there" he told me sternly. I turn to face him.

"But it is Matt. For 20 years the Demon Lord hasn't been seen or heard from. I come here and he suddenly shows up or is planning to show up." I logically interpreted, frustratingly.

"Can we just talk about how Sunday is the handing down announcement and you're going to be Luna?"

Oh yes, that. Since the threat, the Alpha decided to rush into handing Matt the title because he thinks that the younger generation would be able to handle the brewing war. Yes, war. It didn't really make sense to me.

So many things were going on right now. Lucas said that they weren't going to just hand me over to the Demon Lord because I was Matt's mate. He said that they were preparing for worst case scenario and they had the witches support. Obviously, my biological sister was going fight. After all, I was supposed to be the actual Witch Queen.

Sigh.

So Sunday I was going to be Luna to the White Wolf Pack. Let that just soak in.

And we are on the edge of a war which is technically my fault. What kind of Luna is that?

"I can feel you over-thinking" Matt said rubbing my shoulders to make me stop, "Listen all you should be thinking about is that you're going to be my Luna on Sunday." He smiled at me.

No response.

"Okay how about we get you home? I'm sure we gave Jason and May enough time to do their business." He was desperately trying to cheer me up but I had this uneasy feeling in my gut.

1am and I was sitting up on my bed.

I couldn't sleep at all, even with Matt next to me.

I honestly don't know what was keeping me up. Why couldn't I sleep?

"What's wrong?" Matt whispered in my ear and I almost had a heart attack. He wrapped his hands around my waist and I turned to look at his beautiful face, taking a deep breath.

"I wish I knew" I whispered back as he buried his face in my neck.

Then it hit me. How can I sleep when I know something bad is going to happen in the near future? How do you sleep when you know there's going to be a war? There's going to be deaths. How do you sleep? How do you sleep knowing somebody is coming for you?

"Matt, how do I sleep knowing he's coming for me? What if my powers aren't enough?"

"You sleep quite comfortably knowing that you have a pack of wolves and coven of witches backing you up. And most importantly you have me" He kissed my cheek at the last part.

I shook my head.

"What about all the deaths?"

"Lils we don't force people to fight. We explained the situation and they have a choice whether they want to defend their future Luna or not" he explained to me.
