Page 41 of Losing My Siren Luna
“Weare going to plan out this festival to honor my wife. We need to get the basics planned out before you leave so you can spread the word.”
Chapter 14
It was late morning by the time Nilo and I finished planning the dates for the festival and the major details. I’m going to have him and the secretaries plan the minor details when he returns, but he has done enough to write up a decree, declaring an annual holiday and festival in honor of my mate.
“I hope she likes it,”Killian says nervously, “She didn’t have much love for this pack in the past.”
He is thinking of the day she rejected us and then rejected the pack and her role as Luna, showing no sorrow or remorse.
“We didn’t give her much reason to.”
“You’re right,”he sighs, “I just don’t want her to panic about having all the focus be on her.”
“We will help her adjust,”I told him.
He huffs, “You mean I will help her. She still doesn’t like you. She called me a puppy,”he boasts.
“Fuck you,”I snarled.
“Don’t be jealous,”he snorts.
I grumble under my breath, really jealous about Lira being okay with Killian and not with me.
I go back to my old room to bathe and get dressed, still wearing my clothes from the day before. We strip to our underwear while training, so I didn’t see the need to change when I left this morning, but I don’t want Lira to see me all gross and disheveled now.
My room seems massive without a bed. A sudden thought as I looked around the space made me grin, knowing that Lira would love it.
I mind link Meldec, who dismissed the commanders and elite warriors from training, and was now at work, organizing the warriors' schedules and routes for the week, since they will have the added focus of keeping their Luna safe, especially while we are out today.
“Hey, Mel. Can you organize some of the lower warriors to get a new bed in my old room and help the maids to clear my belongings and move them to Lira’s room?”
“I can, but I thought the Luna didn’t want you to share her room?”He asks, not maliciously like Cherum would or teasingly like Nilo. He was just genuinely curious.
"How do you know that?"I asked.
"Cherum told us. He was pretty upset with you last night."
Fucking Cherum. I'm glad he is taking his role so seriously, but he feels like another obstacle for me now.
“Things changed,”I muttered.
I don’t want Lira to ever spend a night alone with her night terrors. I would rather Killian be there to hold her and keep her relaxed through the bond she feels every night, and if I tell her who is to be getting my room, I know she will agree.
“After my belongings are moved out, help Niomi move hers in. I want Lira’s handmaiden to have my old room.”
“Really?”Meldec asked in disbelief, “Your room is the nicest room in the castle. Wouldn’t it be better to move Luna in with you and give the old maid her room?”
I sighed, “Lira does not wish to share a space with me that I have shared with someone else.”
“Oh,”he murmurs, “Okay, Alpha. I’ll get it done today. I have a team ready to start bringing in materials for the new wing you requested too. An architect is being called in tomorrow to start the blueprints.”
“Perfect,”I grin, even though he can’t see me, “Thank you, Mel.”
“You’re welcome, Alpha,”he says before I cut the link.
I grabbed my most used belongings, as much as I could carry, and started across the hall to Lira’s room. I knock, but she must already be at breakfast. The room is empty, except for the many present boxes opened around the room.
Good. Someone got her to open all her gifts. There were so many things she needed among them, like new sleepwear and slippers. The ones she wore last night were atrocious. I should throw them out for her now that she has better.
