Kate’s POV
As I entered my room, I pulled off my clothes and head straight to the shower to have my bath.
I need to check on the patients, I said to myself.
I came out of the bathroom and opened my closet.
The only clothes I brought with me from Twilight Fang are the ones my father had gotten for me.
I pulled out a Blue Dress which is the only one I hadn’t worn here at Bloodmoon Pack,
I need to speak with Louis since Dimitri has make himself unapproachable, I said deep in my thought.
But that would be after all this tension has settled.
I wore the dress, it’s a lightweight, silk blend A-line dress with a fitted bodice, a white beading around the neckline and a flowing skirt that falls just a little below the knee.
Then I paired it with the silver low heels my father had gotten for me.
I moved to my bedside, then pressed the button to call on Ruby.
Ruby has been the one serving me, since I informed the head servant that I am okay with only one maid serving except I request otherwise.
In no time, Ruby showed up
Hello My Luna, she greeted.
Hello Ruby, I answered.
So I could see there are some dignitaries at the pack, what is the occasion, I asked.
Yes the Alpha has called an Emergency meeting due to what happened yesterday, she replied.
Oh okay, I thought as much.
That means there would be a breakfast feast after the meeting, I said.
Yes my Luna, she replied.
Okay, I would join in, in the preparation for that but first I need to go and check on our Men at the clinic, I said.
We both stepped out and head down the stairs,
As I was about to head to the clinic, I sighted My Father and Kayden a far, they had just arrived, then dodged them and increased my pace.
As I entered the Clinic, I sighted Diana, she is checking on the patients.
I moved closer to her,
Good morning Nurse Diana, I said with a smile.
She looked up as she heard my voice then replied,
Good morning Luna Kate.
So how are they fairing, I asked.
They are healing well and fast, she said.
The Bloodmoon Pack men are very strong, I said.
Their wounds are healing up so fast, I am sure they would have healed up, if not for the Wolfsbane that has gotten into their Bloodstream.
I checked all the Men including those who had came back from the Twilight Fang Pack battle.
I greeted those who are awake and they responded back with a little bow.
I went back to where Diana was standing.
I want to help in the organizing of the Breakfast Feast for the dignitaries, I informed her.
Oh okay that’s a good idea, she said.
I and Ruby who has been following me closely behind then head to the Pack’s Kitchen.
***
All hands are on deck, the chefs are preparing different varieties of meals.
The maids are also helping the chefs in getting ingredients and utensils.
While some are cleaning.
Everyone are busy and in haste to get things done before the meeting ends.
I moved around as I am being greeted by different aroma of foods.
There isn’t much I can do in the kitchen,
So I and Ruby moved down to the pack hall where the meeting is being held,
Chairs and Tables where the feast will take place are being set up at the extreme end of the Hall.
Dimitri was addressing the seated men and they all pay attention to him.
He exudes power as he speaks,
No one would dare counter him, except anyone who is ready to be feasted on, I thought.
I don’t think our Mate is that bad as you thought, Lyka said in my head.
I’ve you suddenly forgotten he is the cursed Lycan who everyone feared, I replied.
Those were just baseless rumors, I can’t believe you actually believed that, she responded.
Oh wait, have you suddenly forgotten how he was transforming into beast on the night of our first Mating Ceremony, or have you suddenly forgotten how he had tortured me before i died you are so unbelievable, I said.
Well if you’ve forgotten well I can’t, I added.
Okay fine-e let’s just focus on what’s at hand right now, Lyka said.
The Table has well arranged, the only things it’s waiting for is for food to fill it up.
Then the chairs arranged but I felt they are two congested
Even if I didn’t master any skill at Twilight Fang Pack,
Arranging the halls and ceremony grounds is one skill I could say I have mastered while working as a servant.
I approached the servants arranging the chairs and instruct them to reduce the number of chairs at each table.
Looking at the Men seated in the hall,
On an Average Sixty Chairs should be arranged.
Some Alphas had come with their Betas, while some are being represented by their Betas.
There are two long feasting tables which have been decorated,
I instruct them to decorate one more long feasting table
And then arranged twenty chairs on each tables.
They did as I instructed and then it turns out well organized.
Few minutes later, the servants in the kitchen started bringing in the meals,
The head servant, organize them at one table while I handle the other table.
After about an hour, all the meals prepared, have been brought into the hall.
And then about time the meeting ended, as the men are standing up and coming to take their seat.
I need to get something to eat myself, I gestured Ruby and instruct her to help me get my breakfast to my room.
She left immediately and I turned back.
As I turned back, I sighted My Father and Kayden heading towards my direction.
I can’t dodge them again as they are already close to me.
So I composed myself,
As they reached where I was standing,
Hello Father, I greeted my father with a slight bow and raised my head.
I have told you countless times to stop addressing me as your father you this week half bree-ed,
he slowed down he was calling me half breed,
“I’m sure, he had sensed that my wolf is now getting stronger.”
What was that, he said.
How did you suddenly start growing stronger, asked looking confused.
Well I was never weak, my wolf was rather subdued by your wretched wicked Luna, I retorted giving him a disdain gaze.
Kayden looked at me with surprise and confusion all written over his face.
I grabbed my arms and drew me closer,
How dare you make such stupid force accusations against my Luna, he said.
Well why don’t you ask her yourself since you don’t believe me.
And how come I didn’t find out.
Well you wouldn’t find out, since you decided to chose your step daughter over your actual daughter, I said.
And you treated your actual daughter as a mere servant for most of her life, I said.
Is everything okay here, Dimitri’s voice then jolted my father and he released me suddenly, which made me stagger for balance and Dimitri grabbed me and placed his hand around my waist.
I was surprised,
I am just checking on her to ensure she is behaving well, my father said.
And I could see she is fairing just fine, he added with an obvious fake smile.
Ofcourse she is, Dimitri said drawing me closer to himself.
Kayden growled and his face changed
Lyka became excited, this the first time Dimitri has come close to me like that.
He smells so good, Lyka said.
“His scent which smells just like a mixture of Cedarwood and Lavender fills my nostrils, the blend creates an intoxicating aroma that commands attention and respect.”
Lyka and his wolf seem to be bonding.
Is everything okay, Louis asked as he joined us,
Yes everything is fine, Dimitri answered him.
My Father and Kayden then leave us and went to the feasting table.
As they were going, Kayden shot a disdainful back at us.
Dimitri dropped his hand from my waist,
What was that all about, Dimitri asked.
Nothing, I responded and walked past both him and Louis then head straight to my room.
***
As I opened the door to my room the sweet aroma of Ham and Cheese omelets.
I went straight to the table and started savoring my food.
Then the thought of what just happened came rushing back,
How Kayden had growled when Dimitri draw me closer to him,
Did he suddenly wants me now that he realized I actually have a wolf,
I remembered how he gaze deep into my eyes before Dimitri came by.
Stop thinking about Kayden, Lyka snapped.
What you should be doing right now is how you can get Dimitri to keep coming closer to us and then mark you as his Mate, she added.
Well you know that is not possible right now, I said
Dimitri is very busy with the ongoing battle,
And I on the other hand wants to make sure I am able to transform by full moon, I added.
Of course I also want that, which is why we need our wolf, to help us grow stronger and develop our transformation ability.
And being closer to him will help you ease the pain while transforming, Lyka said .
