*Lilly's pov*

I stood up and walked around. I couldn't believe it. She left us. Me. Her baby. She's dead. Like Joe. Just like how my mother did when my father left.

How would I know. If my father is alive, why not my mother? "Where is he?" I asked again. No answer.

Someone came over and lead me towards the nursery. He was sleeping. Deon caught up to me.

"I didn't see where you went... I'm sorry." He apologized like it was his fault. "It wasn't you. Joli couldn't take it. Joe died. Joe was murdered."

I stared at Johnathan. "What's going to happen to him?" I asked. "Their godparents will take him. If not, he will go yo a nice family who is willing to take care of an Alpha's boy." I was told.

I furrowed my brows. "Who is in charge?" I asked. "Whoever is blood related to Luna Joli or Alpha Verken."

I rose my head. "His sister?" I asked. He nodded. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't make all of this.

I left and ran outside. I couldn't take any of this. Deon rushed after me. He grabbed my arm. "Where are you going?" He asked panicked.

"I don't know. I just have to go. I lost Joe. My brother. Now I've lost Joli. My best friend. And now I find out I'm Luna. I can't take it. Not this much."

A tear slipped down my cheek. Deon wiped it with his thumb and hugged me.

I broke. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I finally broke. I cried. I was shaking. Deon was hugging me and I was hugging him back.

My knees buckled from under me. Deon caught me from falling, but he sat is down in the grass.

I was crying into his chest. He didn't mind. He was glad I was finally letting go. I fully let him in.

We stayed in the grass for who knows how long. Some people walked up to us.

"Immediate pack meeting. Come on." One person said. I put looked up and wiped my eyes.

"Thank you." Deon spoke for me. Deon stood and brought me with him. He held my hand and walked me to the meeting room.

We found some open seats and waited for a speaker to come up. A girl walked up to the mike.

"As you have all heard, our Luna has passed away. Sadly, so has our Alpha. Their son is too young to lead. But, their is someone who can. Johnathan's godmother and our new Luna. Can we please welcome Joe Verken's sister, Lilly Verken."

It was silent. We weren't ready for someone new. We has just lost two of our leaders. The most important ones.

Deon nudged me. I looked to him. He nodded his head towards the stage. "Lilly?" She asked again.

I stood. People looked at me. I walked over to the stage. I stood next to the woman.

She stepped away from the mike, expecting me to say something. I swallowed and stepped forward.

"Hello. I'm Lilly. Joe was my brother. And Joli was my best friend. I lived with her my whole life. She saved me. I wouldn't be here, if it wasn't for her. And Joe. I didn't really know him. I didn't spent my life with my family. He had to explain them to me. He told me I was stolen. My father came and he was killed. My mother then... Couldn't take it anymore. So Joe lived here with our uncle. I don't know anymore. I don't know any of you. I don't know anything. But I do know this is going to be hard. To lose the people we love most. It's hard. Trust me. And new is always easy. Change isn't always easy. But you can't judge what you don't know. You have to try something before you say you don't like it. But I will try. To be a good leader. To protect this pack."

I stepped back from the mike. It was silent. The woman stepped back up to the mike.

"Thank you. Saturday will be the transition. How does that sound?" The woman asked me. I nodded.

I walked back to my seat. Deon put his hand on mine. I wrapped mine around his.

The meeting ended and we all dispersed. Deon and I went back to our room.

"Deon." I said. "Yes?" He asked. "We are going to be parents." I stated. "What your pregnant?" He asked excitedly.

I looked at him with a crazed face. "No. I can't have kids. I was talking about Johnathan. I'm his godmother." My face turned to concern.

"I'm not ready for this. I'm not. He's only a few weeks old. I'm not even twenty. Your 22."

I was freaking out. A pack and a kid at the same time. Losing everyone. Deon wrapped himself around me to calm me.

It took a minutes for me to calm, but I did. "Its been a long day. We need some sleep. Plus, we need to plan for the transition tomorrow, for when it happens on Saturday. I will be introduced as your mate and then tested to be a suitable Alpha. I'm the one who should be freaking out."

"Transition? What transition?" I asked. "The one you just agreed to. After your speech?"

"Right. I'm Luna on Saturday. Right." I whispered. "Let's just get some sleep. We need it." He lead me to the bed and sat me down.

He grabbed me some pajamas and handed them to me. He then grabbed some for himself.

We changed and I plopped myself onto the bed. Deon got comfortable next to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist.

I got comfortable, but I couldn't sleep. It took me a while, but I found sleepiness in Deon's breathing.

I woke up and Deon's arms were still wrapped around me. I sighed knowing this wasn't going to end well. It was eight in the morning.

I slowly unwrapped Deon from me like a ribbon from a present. He woke up. "What are you doing? What time is it?" He asked. "I'm getting up, its eight."

Since he was awake, I just pushed his arm off and slipped out of bed. I went to brush my teeth.

I got changed and went downstairs. I got some eggs to eat and made some for Deon.

When Deon came downstairs, he smelt the eggs, ran down the stairs, and smiled at me as I handed him the plate.

I smiled back. "Thanks babe." He said as he got a fork. "Babe?" I said and crossed my arms. He gave me a sheepish look.

"Yeah?" He asked. "Are you telling me or asking me?" I questioned. "Telling?" He asked yet again.

"It's okay, I like babe." Once I said that, Deon physically relaxed. He continued to eat his eggs while I ate mine.

My father came down. He walked over to us. "It was a nice speech." He complimented. Nodded in a thanks.

He got out an apple and bit into it. "Do you know about Joe?" I asked him. He nodded. "Why now?" I asked.

"I don't know. I felt like something was coming." He responded. "Where did you go 18 years ago?" I questioned.

"A witch teleported me away. I don't know where, but somewhere. They injected me with something to kill my wolf. When I started crippling because I'm old, they threw me out. I then got my wolf back. I became a rouge. We had an attack on your pack, but I couldn't do it. I smelt you. So there was something in me telling me that I couldn't hurt anyone."

I didn't know whether to be believe him or not. "Did you feel it when my mother died?" I asked.

He sighed. "No. But I defiantly felt it after. And I still do. Its hard to lose someone. It really is."

"I know." I said. "Are out going to be a harm to this pack? Are their other rouges?" Deon asked.

He shook his head. "I wouldn't hurt anyone here. Yes, there are other rouges, we were forming our own pack. Their are about a third of the people here in the pack. There will be more coming. Protect your north and west side." He warned.

"Would you accept a job as a spy? To sky on the rouges?" I asked. He nodded. "I could. I accept."

"Settled."
