Chapter 39

KATE POV:

"Oh my god, Mum, we need to start preparations," Lillian shrieks happily. She is happier than me about this.

I am stuck in the dining room with Elisa, Grace, and Lillian for the whole day since Becca went with Ethan to his park.

I sigh loudly. I should have listened to Lawrence when he asked me to spend the day with him, but no, I had to insist on spending the day with the girls. But now it feels like I am going to spend my day planning my wedding.

"Kate, are you even listening to anything I am saying?" Elisa asks, glaring at me before glancing back at Ma, giving her a mischievous smile.

I hope what they are planning is good for me and my health.

"I was lost in thought," I say sincerely.

"I hope you were thinking about Lawrence," Grace says with a wink.

Oh, this girl.

"So, let talk about your coronation," Elisa says seriously, "any suggestions?"

"Coronation?" I ask, confused.

I am not dumb. I know what coronation means, but it's not every day you get mated to the Alpha King, and it sure wasn't on my list to become the Luna Queen. I am so not ready to be the Luna Queen and rule these people.

Oh, Moon Goddess, what have you gotten me into, and why didn't I think of this?

"Yeah, it is an occasion held to crown the new Luna Queen," Lillian says

"Yes, I know, but when will that be?" I ask, curious. I hope to have more time to get ready for all these complications.

"Tomorrow," Elisa says. "The blue moon is tomorrow so that it will be the perfect day for your coronation."

I jump up from the chair with wide eyes.

"Tomorrow? That's barely enough time to do anything!" I say, shocked.

"No need for you to get all worked up. Me and Alex have it all under control," she says, smiling. "And the girls are here to help."

"No way. It's impossible," I say, holding in the anger trying to force its way out.

"Kate, you have to understand. It is the blue moon, meaning more strength," Ma says, trying to reason with me. "If you are worried about the preparation, it's all under control."

"And also this pack needs a Luna Queen, and not only this pack, but all werewolves, lycan, and other supernatural beings, " Elisa says, looking at me with pleading eyes. "This pack has been without for a Luna Queen for so long."

I am so furious with these people. How can they just push this on me? It's too soon. I need to get used to all this first.

I glance at Grace and Lillian, who are looking so uncomfortable. I also feel the same way.

"What going on? Why the tension?" Lawrence asks, walking into the dining room with Levi, Anderson, Jack, Elder Mathias, and Thomas.

"We are just letting Kate know that her coronation is tomorrow," Elisa says, smiling.

"I can't believe this," I say, walking out of the room with Ma calling after me.

These people are just too much, just expecting me to wake up one morning and be given so much power and responsibility.

I walk into my little privacy known as my room.

"Wow, that was fast," I say, looking at the clean and neat-looking bedroom. After all the destruction I did to this room, I thought it would be condemned.

I lay on the bed, getting comfortable, but was disturbed by someone coming in. At least it's Lawrence.

"Yes, how can I be of help?" I ask with raised eyebrows.

"There are so many things you can help me with," he says, smirking before sitting at the edge of the bed. "I need to speak to you."

"I know. Is it about the coronation?" I ask, getting up before sitting close to him.

"Yes. I know you are nervous. I felt your nervousness and anger. That was the reason I came to see what was going on," he says, holding my hands in his.

"Oh." That's all I can say to reply to him.

"I know it's hard on you. If you want, I can make Mum leave it alone until you're ready," he says, smiling.

"Thanks, I just need some time to accept all this," I say, staring at everywhere but him.

"Mi vida, look at me," he says softly.

I look at him.

"You will be a good and caring Luna Queen," he says, smiling, making me blush.

"Okay, enough of this. I need to talk with Lillian and Gracie," I say, getting up.

He pulls me back on his lap.

"You are making me jealous," he says with a smirk.

"Are you getting all possessive?" I tease with a smirk playing on my lips.

"You should know I am very possessive of what belongs to me," he says, kissing my nose. "Okay, let go before I take you right now," he says playfully.

We walk out hand in hand towards the dining room, where everyone is laughing. Me and Lawrence take our seats.

"Kate, I am so sorry I tried pushing this on you. I have decided next week will be your coronation," Elisa says, grinning widely.

I sigh, giving her a small smile back. At least it's something.

"I am also sorry for getting angry," I say.

"No problem, dear," she says with a smile.

It goes on like that, discussing and taking notes of things needed. I am a little excited about the coronation—keyword "little."

I hear a knock on the door, but since I am in the living room and close to the door, I choose to answer it instead.

I open the door to find a young lady with black hair and looking to be in her thirties.

"Yes ?"

"Kate, I need you for something," Ma says, coming into view, but when she sees the lady by the door, her eyes grow wide. "What are you doing here?" she asks, shocked.

"Alex, it's been a long time," she says with a smirk.

"You know her?" I ask, looking at Ma's shocked expression.

"Yes, I know her," she says warily, looking between the lady and me.

"Who is she? And why is she here?" I ask, frustrated. She should just get straight to the point.

"I am someone you should know and also someone you shouldn't," the lady says with a wide smile fading into a mischievous one.

What is going on here?
