Ella's POV

"What do you mean your not going back with him?"

"'Marcus I already told you why. 3 times! Now hand me those files you brought me." He does the opposite and sets them on the desk in my room.

"He's your mate Ella! Your gonna be the next Luna of his pack. You have to go with him! I know the whole parents thing but they would want you to go too!"

"I-I just need time. And he said he'd give me that so just drop it please. My wolf is already mad at me and really don't need you to be either please!" I say, sighing as I throw my head back on to the pillow. I'm already completely stressed out and though I know it's all love, he's not helping.

I had asked Marcus to bring me the files from work that I'd have to do at home, since I was out of work currently. Of course when he realized that Thomas was leaving today and I wasn't...well this happened. I had explained to him over and over why I wasn't going but he still continued to question me.

"I'm sorry Ella, I just want you to be happy. And you found your mate so I just assumed you'd want to spend every second with him. I'm sorry." He sits next to me, and I can tell his apology is sincere.

"I do want to be with him every chance I can it's just.. I don't know there's this voice in the back of mind telling me if I don't stay then my parents will be...forgotten. They died protecting this pack and me and I can't let their deaths be forgotten. I'm just really lost. I didn't think I'd find my mate so soon and definitely didn't think I'd ever be a Luna. I'm only 18.... how am I supposed to be a Luna? No ones gonna listen to a 18 year old when their alpha is a 25 year old." I say with a defeated sigh.

"They WILL listen to you Ella, you're their Luna and there wolves will know that. And I promise you if they don't, Thomas will beat them up for you!" I laugh and wipe the tears away from my eyes.

"He's right." His voice startles me and I snap my head to the door to see him leaning against the door frame. He's wearing a white shirt and dark jeans, a perfect smile on his face. I can't tear my eyes away from him.

"I'll just leave you two alone. The files are on the desk Ella, don't work too hard." I let my eyes fall from Thomas and give a small smile to Marcus. He slips past Thomas, disappearing down the hallway.

"How long have you been standing there?" I say, keeping my eyes on my blanket.

"Long enough to hear your concerns about my pack. Why didn't you tell me any of this when we talked?"

"I-i don't know. I didn't want you to know I was scared to be a Luna. It makes me look weak." I admit, whispering the last part. I feel the bed dip and a hand on my chin. I feel the sparks instantly and close my eyes at the feeling. He raises my chin up, to make our eyes level with each other.

"Open your eyes and look at me Ella." I feel his Alpha authority coming through his voice, making my eyes snap open. He stares at me intently his green eyes boring into my blue ones.

"You don't have to worry Ella about my pack not accepting you as their Luna. I know they will and if they don't then like your friend said there will be consequences. The moon goddess put us together and she made you a Luna before you were even born. It will come natural to you I promise my love."
