Out of Space

EJ is Nineteen Years Old

EJ woke up to the sound of an obnoxious phone ringtone. I groaned while Elise giggled. She answered, “Hi, Ladybug.”

I grumbled, “It’s too early.”

I heard Melanie laugh, “It’s noon.” I bolted up and looked at the screen of Elise’s phone. Melanie had Facetimed her.

I asked, “What the hell?!”

Elise laughed, “I asked Alexander to handle everything today so you could sleep in. It’s a big day.”

I crawled over and kissed her. I pulled back, “Yes, it is, Elise Conners.” Melanie cooed, “Awww you guys are cute! On a separate note, I have AN EMERGENCY!”

Elise stiffened, “What? What’s wrong?”

Melanie threw herself on her bed, “I don’t know what to wear to your Luna ceremony! I have narrowed it down to ten outfits.”

I laughed, “That’s considered narrowing it down?” Melanie sat up, “Yes, it started at thirty options. Ten is narrowed down.”

I held up my hands, “Well, I’m out. Have fun, Elise.”

Elise giggled. I kissed her again, “By the end of today, you’ll officially be my Luna.”

I’d taken over the pack with Alexander and Cassie six months ago. We didn’t have the struggles with our dad that a lot of the other Alpha’s did. He’d totally backed off and was now just an advisor. I smiled thinking about our ceremony.
