Jayce’S POV.
“Come in.” Alora’s angelic voice announces a few moments after I knock on the door. I gently open the door and step in. She’s still in bed, sitting upright and her auburn hair is glowing. The curtains of the wall to ceiling window of the bedroom have been tied and the room is illuminated by peering sunrays that kiss her face, making her glow even more.
She is beautiful and I love her.
“Good morning, love.” I greet as I walk over to the bed. When I’m close, I lean forward and plant a soft kiss on her forehead.
“Good morning.” She smiles at me. My heart flutters, but starts hammering when I think of Skye and what my Omega, Reed, told me yesterday.
Skye is going to cause trouble between Alora and I and she’s going to do that by telling Alora about our relationship in the past.
I know I owe Alora no explanation as I did that when I didn’t even know she existed, but it’s going to upset her and I don’t want that.
I have to tell her about Skye, but not yet. I’ll give it some time before I mention my former mistress. In the meantime, I will focus on making sure she gets the proper Luna training she needs to be able to survive in the castle and pack as a whole.
“You were gone by the time I woke up.” Her voice is calm and soft and if I didn’t know her better, I would say she sounds disappointed by the fact I left her in bed alone, but I know that’s not the case. Her eyes literally lit up when I had told her I would leave the moment she fell asleep. After my conversation with Reed, I went back to cuddle her and only left later on.
“I had to honor my promise, even thought it was hard.” I tell her sincerely. Her blue eyes are sparkling in the morning light. Her skin is fair. So fair that I’m scared to touch it.
She looked so fragile and delicate that it makes my heart hurt.
Would she be able to get through with the training?
Would she be able to face the problems that would be thrown at is as Alpha and Luna?
Is she ready for any of this?
The questions keep flooding my mind, but I decide to shake them off. There’s no use pining over something like that. She might look frail, but I’m sure she’s strong and resilient. After all she was able to withstand all that harship she had to undergo in the hands of her Mistress back at her Pack.
Also, the Moon goddess is not stupid. She wouldn’t assign me a mate who would not be able to bear the responsibilities that came with being a Luna. If she has assigned Alora to me it means she is capable and all she needs is training.
“You look beautiful, as always.” I compliment her. She blushes a beetroot and my heart swells. She’s the most precious thing I’ve ever had. I adore her.
“Thank you. Are you here to prepare for work?” She asks calmly and I nod my head.
“Yeah. And today, I’d love for you to be the one to pick my outfit. Could you do that for me?” She instantly nods her head, beaming in excitement.
“It’d be an honor.”
“Thank you. Also, you’ll start attending the pack royal school where you will take lessons on how to be a Luna and a little bit of self defence… well…” I look at her closely. Her eyes are focused on me and she’s paying attention to every detail coming out of my mouth.
“Well…”
“A lot of training. Since you are a Luna, you will have to undergo a lot of self defense training. Will you be okay with that?” I ask concerned. Her brows furrow as she nods her head.
“Of course it will be. Don’t worry about how I look, I can actually fight… well, not too well, but I can defend myself. I stole time to take some fight lessons with some guards back at Daphne’s father’s house. I will be able to handle the training.”
Relief washes through my spine.
That actually caught me off guard. I had no idea she could even raise a hand against someone else. It makes me feel a lot better to know that she can defend herself.
“Nice Alora. I’m so happy to hear that you have some ideas about physical self defence. I feel very relieved right now.” She’s still smiling at me as I kiss her hands. “And the personal maid, you’ll be needing her soon, so make up your mind. If you want more than one personal maid, it’s your right to request for…”
“No…” she cuts me off with a worried look. “No, not at all! I do not need two personal maids. One will be enough. Thank you.”
“Are you sure?”
“One hundred percent sure. Thank you.”
“Alright then. You’ll have to tell me who you’ve decided when I come back home from work tonight.”
“Sure.” I kiss her on the cheeks and leave for the bathroom.
After bathing and dressing up, we both have breakfast together and I leave for work. There’s a big smile on my face as I walk all the way to my office. Today is going to be a spectacular day!
Alora’S POV.
“Come in.” I announce for the second time today and the door immediately opens up. I break into a wide smile when Tania walks into my bedroom, beaming. I had instructed one of the maids in charge of serving me to go get her so we could talk about the personal maid issue.
“Luna Alora, I am so honoured to be in your presence.”
“Good morning Tania.” I greet her with a cheerful smile. She looks so rigid and is talking to me so formally and I don’t know what to do with myself. It’s going to take me a lot of time to adjust to all this.
“Good morning Luna. You sent for me.” She still hasn’t looked me in the eyes and I take it that she is waiting for my permission to do so.
“You can…you can look at me when you talk.” I tell her and she calmly raises her head up, still smiling.
“Thank you, Luna.”
“Oh it’s nothing.” I rise from the bed and walk towards her. “Are you still interested in becoming my personal maid?” I chose to cut to the chase. Her pupils dilate as she gives me a shocking look.
“Yes!” She almost cries. “Yes, yes! It’ll be an honour to serve you my Luna. Yes! Please.”
“Then you are hired. Henceforth, you will be my personal servant.” I announce and what she doesn’t takes me off guard. She falls to her knees and bows her head so low that her face is touching the floor.
“I am so grateful for this wonderful opportunity my dear Luna. Thank you very much and I promise not to disappoint you in anyway.” She says the word “thank you” over a million times and I don’t even know what to say or how to react to her sudden outburst.
“Tania, Goodness! Please rise to your feet. There’s absolutely no need for you to kneel. That was uncalled for.”
“No Luna. It is a great honor to be chosen as your personal maid. I have to show my gratitude and even if I have to crawl to do that I will.”
“That’s… that’s really not what I want. Please rise to your feet. This instant!” I instruct firmly and she quickly rises to your feet.
“Thank you once more, Luna.” I simply nod.
“I will tell the Alpha and once he approves, I will give you the final order. Is that okay?”
“It’s perfectly fine Luna.”
“Good. You can leave now.”
“Have a splendid day Luna and thank you once more.” I nod and watch her exit the bedroom joyfully.
She’s respectful and easy going. I like her.
We are definitely going to be very good friends.
