Lost in Love

Her heart beat faster as her mother made the announcement.  In a months time she planned to step down as the Luna, and she was to step up to lead the pack.  She could hear the murmurs ripple through the pack, she had yet to find her mate.  Never before had the pack had an unmated Luna.  Atheria cast her eyes downward, and let her golden brown hair fall in front of her eyes.  She knew her mother though what she was doing best, but how could she be expected to lead with out a mate, would the pack even listen to her.  As her mother called the meeting to an end she slipped out the back door, grateful the pack house was near the woods.  She let the smell of the woods fill her, as she tried to calm her beating heart.  She was lost in the scent of the woods, when suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder.   Glancing up she saw her mother smiling down at her.   "Mom are you sure about this ? " she asked, as she bowed her head.
