Chapter 106
Lewana POV
Michelle brings all my clothes and starts organizing my wardrobe with me in Conrad's room. Well, our room now. This was always designed to be the living quarters for the Luna Queen and Alpha King so there is an empty wardrobe ready for me.
I'm just trying to process everything and seem to be floating around the room. I keep gravitating towards the bed. I smell on the sheets are Conrad I just want to curl up in them. Michelle has other ideas though.
"If this is going to be your permanent bedroom we need to make quite a few changes. It's too boyish and needs more of a feminine couple touch".
She is already on the couch doing some internet shopping to get some pieces to make the room more me. I start to relax and the day passes easily. We are giggling away looking at items as Mary sends up nothing but comfort food.
I have no idea what time it is when the door opens and Conrad walks in. "You two are in a good mood".
"We're racking up bills on your credit card. Of course we are in a good mood".
He walks over and kisses me on the head. He then pulls me close. "I need you to get ready Moonlight. I announcement of the next stage is happening soon. I won't leave your side the entire time. I promise".
I head into the shower. As soon as I am in there my thoughts turn to last night. They told me I was exposed. They told me he had touched me in some way. I suddenly felt very dirty and turned the water up to scolding. I couldn't stop the tears from falling as I slid down to the floor.
I was only alone for about two minutes when I saw the bathroom door open and Conrad come in. He takes off his clothes and comes into the shower. He drops the temperature and picks me off the floor.
He just holds me and rocks me gently as he sends a calming aura to me. When my tears start to slow he gently starts washing me. Nothing sexual about it. He just wanted to show me love a support. It gives me the energy and fight I need. Six more days. This will all be over in six days.
We both get dressed and walk out hand in hand. I keep my head high as I will not show them that they can break me. They can't break me. We will win together.
Conrad and I enter the ceremony rooms hand in hand. Councilman Donovan gestures for Conrad to take his place on the throne but he just stares him down. He stares everyone down.
Conrad addresses the room. "Lady Lewana is not leaving my side. You can make the announcement so we can all leave. I have disciplinary hearings to prepare for".
Donovan continues with the announcement but I notice Cordelia smirking in the corner. She knows something.
"As this is the final stage of the ceremony and there are two candidates left there will be one activity to complete with both candidates. An overnight meeting that the candidates will organize".
No wonder that bitch was smirking. She gets to spend the night with my mate and there is nothing I can do about it.
I can't stop Serena growling at this plan. Conrad just gently lifts our chin and places a gentle kiss on my lips not giving a care in the world who is listening.
He mind-links me. "Six days. Remember that we can do anything together and then in six days you will forever be mine".
I grip his hand harder and agree that he is right. We can do this.
He turns to the group. "Fine. Anything else I need to know before this concludes".
They just silently shake their heads. We turn to leave and I see Michelle waiting for me. I know he has work to do with Liam today so I am just going to spend the day in our new room and making it more ours. I also have a night away to plan.
I am about halfway up the stairs when I hear Cordelia's annoying bragging tone echo up after me.
"How does it feel to know your mate is going to be spending an amazing night with me? I have no doubt, that once he knows what it means to be truly treated like an Alpha King, he will pick me as his Luna Queen".
"I really want to get an MRI of your head to see how it functions and if there is any way it can be corrected for the sake of all our kind".
Michelle starts snickering. "Honestly I'm not even worried as I know whatever you have planned he will hate as your personality will destroy everything anyway".
Cordelia starts to go red in the face. "I have an amazing evening planned. We are going to the most exclusive restaurant in town and I have the penthouse suite of the best hotel all for us. It going to be a thousand times better than whatever you can come up with last minute".
I fake a worried expression as I know she is leading herself into a trap. "How did you get all those reservations? They book out months in advance".
"Daddy had it all organized as it was supposed to be my celebration after being announced Luna Queen. Guess now it will be my special night to steal you man".
I turned and walked away to the bedroom quickly knowing needed to mind-link Conrad.
"Conrad. Do you have cameras in the main hallway near the stairs. You might need to review the footage as Coredlia said something interesting that could be used in Alpha Anthony's disciplinary hearing".
"Will do my moonlight. You're OK with this. I know spending the night with Cordelia isn't ideal and I am working out a plan with Liam now. Just know I will never betray you".
"I know Shadow. I just have to surprise you for our night away. I was thinking of showing you my final secret".
