Tania's POV - Luna's Leadership Crisis

"Luna, there's a big problem! Please help us in the Housepack!"

I was startled to hear a woman's shout from the courtyard. Who in broad daylight would disturb my peaceful rest?

"Luna, can you come with me now?" the voice shouted again when I finally appeared before her.

"What's wrong?" I asked in a haughty manner. I was Luna now. After all, there was a certain dignity I had to maintain.

"There was a landslide in the eastern region that caused great damage. The landslide victim refugees have filled the Housepack and we're having trouble accommodating them," the woman replied explaining the situation.

I recognized that woman. She was one of the renowned healers. Back then, before I became Luna, my mother and I used to help her at the healing center.

"Alright, I'll be there right now," I replied, still with a haughty attitude.

I then signaled the omegas who were now serving me every day to follow me to Housepack.

Arriving there, I was surprised to see so many shabby-looking people filling the courtyard and training grounds of the warriors in our Housepack.

"Where's Alpha Magnus?" I asked the healer who called me earlier.

"The Alpha is at the disaster site digging out the landslide victims and searching for surviving pack members," she replied.

I nodded frantically. I didn't know what to do. I had never dealt with this kind of problem before. Just seeing so many victims gathered around waiting for help like this was giving me a headache. I really didn't expect the refugees to be this many.

I looked around for help, but all the pack members seemed to be very busy going back and forth to take care of the miserable-looking victims.

"Luna, please tell us, where will these people be evacuated to? This housepack is not enough to accommodate them all," a voice suddenly startled me.

Before I could answer the question, another voice chimed in.

"Luna, there are many seriously injured victims, we need more medicines and clean cloths to bandage their wounds. Please give instructions to supply them."

I moved anxiously in an uncertain direction. It was very confusing to have to deal with so many things at the same time.

"Luna, sorry to bother you in such a busy time, I need to discuss an important matter with you." A huge woman wearing an apron approached me in a confidential manner.

"What's wrong?" I asked, annoyed that she was adding to my troubles.

"We're running out of food, there's nothing left in the Housepack kitchen that I can cook to feed them," she whispered. It seemed like she didn't want the refugees to know that our food supplies were running low.

I was frozen in place. Problems seemed to keep popping up endlessly. Finally, like the other pack members who held me responsible as Luna, I only spoke empty words of comfort to get the people out of my way.

I slipped between the crowd of refugees and pack members who were busy from earlier. All I wanted right now was to find a safe place to be alone and think about all these problems quietly.

I looked around inside the Housepack, but not a single room was empty. Even the room reserved for the Alpha was filled with victims being treated.

Just as I was starting to lose my spirits, I spotted a broom closet that was empty because the tools were being used by the omegas. Without wasting any time, I quickly went in and hid there.

This reminded me of my past where I used to hide in the broom closet to avoid the people who liked to order me to do a lot of chores.

I used to prefer being by Sabrina's side. People didn't dare to bother me when I was with her. Who would have thought that the ugly girl who used to be her play mate would now take her place as Luna.

"Where is the Luna?" My thoughts was interrupted when I heard the sound of people looking for me outside.

"I saw her come in here earlier, but I'm not sure where she is," the other voice replied.

"Ack, never mind, there's no need to look for her. She's a useless Luna. We can't rely on her."

I was surprised to hear those words.

"Yeah, right. Did you see her face earlier? She looked confused and didn't know what to do."

"Ah, if only Sabrina were our Luna, surely she could solve this problem with her father's help."

Hearing Sabrina's name mentioned, I felt like scolding them. How dare they compare me to Sabrina, that loser.

But I can't deny what they just said. It's true that I don't know what to do right now and I don't have anyone who can help me like Sabrina's father.

As a result, I can't get angry or punish them. All I can do is cry quietly in this broom closet and hope that no one finds me here.

Suddenly, the closet door opened. I was shocked. I quickly wiped away my tears. I would pretend to be locked in here if the person who opened this closet asked why I was here.

"Tania, come out dear," a soft, familiar voice soothed me.

"Elder Darius," I squealed excitedly.

"What are you doing in there?" he asked.

Seeing the Elder's old face gave me an instant sense of relief. Everything was going to be okay.

I told him about my problem and the conversation I'd overheard earlier. Elder Darius listened to me carefully.

"Alright, this is what you should do. Meet one of the warriors out there and have him escort the refugees to my territory in the west, I will provide a large place to accommodate them all," he said.

"Then, meet the healer and tell her that the medicines and bandages will be here soon, I've contacted my colleagues to send them in large quantities," he continued.

"Then, go to the kitchen and tell the omegas who are there to go to the border, there are several carts carrying groceries waiting there," he concluded.

I was surprised to hear the Elder's explanation. I didn't expect all the complicated problems he could solve so easily. Without wasting any more time, I carried out all of Elder Darius' orders.

"Amazing, it turns out our Luna is reliable. We had the wrong idea earlier."

I overheard someone's words while passing through the corridor as soon as I finished carrying out the task from Elder Darius earlier.

"Yes, she's very smart and skillful. It's a good thing that all problems can be solved by her quickly. We're very lucky to have a competent Luna like her."

A smile spread across my lips. I managed to get them to acknowledge my abilities. After this no one should doubt me as Luna anymore.

"How did it go? Is everything settled?" Elder Darius' voice startled me.

"Yes, all thanks to you, Elder. Thank you for helping me," I replied cheerfully.

Elder Darius chuckled happily and then continued.

"No problem, you don't have to worry about anything. As long as you follow all my orders, you'll live comfortably as a Luna in this pack."
