"Aidan, May!" I hear Aidan's dad yell out.

Aidan throws me a sweatshirt to pull on (it's cold) and grabs my hand. We walk down the stairs and in to the living room to find my parents and Aidan's parents.

"We have some news and we wanted both of you to hear it." Aidan's mum says to Aidan and I.

"What's up mum?" Aidan asks her.

"We have decided that we have been gone from home for too long and that it is time to go home." She says.

I have to keep the frown off my face. I had hoped we would never go back, but I knew that could not be. I knew they would want to go home eventually.

"We'll leave tomorrow, early in the morning. So we plan on starting to pack now." Aidan's dad tells us.

"And the pack will be holding a farewell party." My dad inputs.

"So you two should start packing and load all of your stuff in your car, Aidan." Aidan's mum says, smiling at us.

"Come one May, let's go pack." Aidan says quietly in my ear.

I stay silent and nod my head in response.

Aidan takes my hand and we walk back upstairs.

We head in to my room and I grab 3 big suitcases from my wardrobe to pack my stuff in.

"You ok?" Aidan asks quietly while putting his clothes in his duffle bag then grabs his toothbrush from where he had left it in my bathroom.

"I'm fine." I say giving him a brief smile then turning back to the clothes I was folding.

I finish folding my shirts and tops and move to my dresses that are hanging in my wardrobe along with my shoes.

"Don't forget to leave something out for tonight." Aidan reminds me.

"Yea I know." I say quietly.

I leave one of my dresses and one pair of shoes in the wardrobe for tonight then I go through the draws I keep my jewellery. I leave the jewellery I plan on wearing tonight in one of the draws and empty the rest, putting them in a jewellery storage container.

I put the storage container on top of my folded clothes in one suitcase then close 2 of the 3 suitcases.

In the last one I put the stuff left in my room and my bathroom stuff.

Aside from leaving out my party clothes I also leave out some travelling clothes and leave room to put my party clothes in and leave my pjs on top.

Aidan suddenly grabs me by my waist and pulls me over so that he's sitting on my bed and I'm sitting on his lap.

He then takes my face, cradling it in both hands, and makes me look up at him.

"What's the matter?" He murmurs.

"Nothing." I say, flicking my eyes away from him.

"Look at me." He says in a pleading voice.

I look in to his eyes and he holds my gaze.

"Now tell me honestly. What's wrong?" He says slowly.

"I'm just going to miss home that's all. You know, I've lived here all my life with these people and they are my family and they love me. What if the people in your pack don't like me? What kind of Luna would I be if your whole pack didn't like me? The people here like me and respect me but what if it's not the same when I'm Luna?"

"May. It's impossible to make everyone love you and you know just like in this pack we do have people who will despise you because you will get to be Luna. But that's only a small number of people. I can safely tell you that every single decent person in my pack is going to love you. How could they not? You're amazing, and you're going to make an amazing Luna."

"But we don't know that, besides, you're my mate. You have to say that." I say, burying my face in his chest.

"Ok then I'll pretend to be an outsider in this situation then." He says, lifting up my chin.

"No I like where you are in this situation. I just feel like I might do something wrong. And with the Strongest pack... that might not be a good idea." I groan, tugging at my hair.

He carefully untangles my hands from my hair and keeps both of my hands in his. He raises my hands to his lips and places a gentle kiss on the palms of both my hands.

"I haven't known you for very long, but I could tell from the first time I laid eyes on you and knew you were my mate, that you would be an amazing Luna. Don't doubt yourself, you'll do absolutely amazing." He says, holding my hands against his chest.

I look up at him and give him a small smile.

"You're amazing." I say, popping up a little so I can peck his lips.

"Well, yea I guess." He says dragging out the 'l'. He drops my hands and drapes his arms around my shoulders.

I keep my hands on his chest and fiddle with the front of his shirt.

He leans forward and pecks the tip of my nose.

"I love you." He murmurs, looking me straight in the eyes.

"I love you too." I whisper, smiling at him.

He pulls me close and lays back so that we're both laying down and I have my head on his chest.

He strokes my hair lightly and hums lightly.

I groan. "Are you trying to make me fall asleep?" I say, lifting my head up to look at him.

"You seem stressed. Maybe sleeping is a good idea." He says chuckling.

"What if that just makes me even more stressed. UGH." I groan and bury my head in his chest.

Aidan doesn't say anything but starts stroking my hair and humming again. I feel my eyes start to close and I let them. Falling in to a dreamless sleep.
