William's POV
I was distracted by the music of the ball, and my mind felt irritated by the fact that the woman I had just met in the garden did not appear in the Golden Hall.
As much as I love her eyes, her weakness disgusts me. I don't like weak people, but how lost I was when I didn't see her just now.
Jason sensed something was wrong with me.
"William, why are you distracted and look unhappy? Why did you say earlier that not all the people who were there were there?"
"Jason, I've met my MATE a long time ago."
My words got Jason excited, "What are you waiting for? The ceremony is tomorrow!"
"But she can't turn into a werewolf, and she can't fight, and you know, Jason, I hate weak people." I looked out the window at the darkness, and in my eyes, the night was as dark as day.
"So what?! What Luna needs is a wise woman who, if she's wise enough, can help you run our pack!"
Jason walked back and forth across the room, counting the numbers under his breath.
"Next month King Adolf will tour the communities, Night clan's army is likely to attack us this month, Blue moon clan group and Red moon clan group have already started a war at the border, we only have a White night clan left around to be able to become reinforcements. Electing Luna at this time is a big deal to make our clan stable!"
"William, for the sake of our people, please make a decision!"
Jason half-kneeled before me and gave me the most honorable salute of the wolf clan, and I let out a long sigh, ashamed of my capriciousness.
As an Alpha, the first consideration should be the safety of the community, just a Luna, let her do Luna represents nothing, wait for the end of the king's tour, the war around the settlement, then abolish her is also possible.
I picked up Jason, "Jason, I'm willing to accept your offer for the sake of the herd, tomorrow morning, go ask Luna for me!"
Jason was satisfied with my answer, "King, who is our Luna?"
"I don't know, she didn't tell me her name, but the werewolf who can't turn into a wolf, I think she's the only one! I remember Shirley has a sister who is a werewolf who can't turn into a wolf, she's been studying abroad, she's probably already back!"
Jason already knew in his mind who I was talking about, "King, please allow me to make the arrangements."
"Okay, you go ahead! I trust your abilities."
"My beloved King, I wish you a happy wedding in advance!"
After Jason left, my mind kept going back to that memory from my childhood and the way my mom looked before she died, and it made me feel so miserable that this woman's presence brought back memories I had buried long ago over and over again, and I hated her!
When I woke up again, I was lying in bed with the covers over me. I don't know when I fell asleep, but last night's dream was not so good.
"King, a woman named Katie is at the door requesting to see you."
The maid reported at the door that I didn't know who Katie was and vaguely remembered that she was the one who wrote to me the most, although I never opened those letters from her.
"What's the matter with her?"
"King, she wouldn't tell us about herself, she said she wanted to tell you herself, and she said she was a relative of Lord Jason."
Jason's relatives? This reminds me that Jason once told me that he has a biological niece whose name is indeed Katie.
"Let her in!" I drew the curtain over the bed and sat down on it, as I was accustomed to doing if I was receiving my subjects in the bedroom.
Led by the maid, a woman with a perfect figure came to me. I couldn't see her face clearly, but the outline of her figure could be seen clearly.
"My beloved King! Please take back the order to let Gina be Luna!" Katie's voice is delicate like she's pouting at me, I can't help but frown, I think Forsford would feel happy if he heard a voice like that!
"Gina?" I didn't know what she was talking about, Gina was a name I had never seen before, was she talking about the woman I met last night?
"My beloved king, that woman is not worthy of you, she will not make a good Luna, she will not turn into a wolf, she is a cripple! She has an ugly look! You don't know that yet, do you? She didn't attend your ball last night, it's a disgrace to you!"
Katie talked on and on down there, which reminded me of the letters she wrote to me, each of which would be ten pages thick, and I marveled a bit at the woman's language skills.
"My beloved king! Please withdraw your order quickly, Gina is not worthy to be our Luna! If she becomes our Luna, there will be many people who will stand up against it!"
Her voice bothered me. I didn't want to know what it was like to be my Luna's woman, but I also didn't like a woman who talked badly about others behind their backs.
"Okay, I've learned what you said, go back!"
I didn't remember a word she said, my mind just wanted to get to breakfast quickly and then attend today's important meeting with the White night clan.
Katie didn't hear my affirmative reply and looked reluctant, but the maid had invited her to get up and she had to leave.
After Katie left, three maids came in and served me to wash up, then put on my gown, and brought a hearty breakfast.
Jason then walked in to read out today's itinerary.
"King, this morning to have cooperation negotiations with White night clan, the afternoon Luna appointment ceremony I have arranged, the evening to have a celebration ball, need you and Luna to attend together."
"I see. Jason, you're my best assistant! Luna has already left, right?"
"Yes, King, it is an honor to serve you, and Luna has departed from her home for the Golden Hall to prepare for the appointment ceremony."
"Today's negotiations with White night clan will decide the fate of our pack, inform Forsford to bring his best negotiators and psychologists."
"Yes, King."
White night clan's strength is not as strong as our Red night clan's, but in the face of the Night clan's attack, I will seek the most solid protection for my people, only with the most reliable friends, we can have the greatest confidence to defeat the enemy.
While we have the best negotiators and psychologists to gain an edge in the negotiation process, we lack the best military experts.
Although I can solve most of the military puzzles given by the Night clan, the White night clan has a talented military expert who is a very tricky person for me to ask questions that would take me a lot of time to solve.
This will be detrimental to our negotiations, and if they abandon cooperation with us because of our lack of military organization, subsequent work will be difficult.
"Jason, look for the military expert in our pack, I hope you can find him in the shortest time possible, and if you can find him before the next negotiation, that would be great!" I got in my car and drove towards the place of negotiation, leaving Jason with this somewhat difficult task.
Because we have searched for military experts six months ago, but there is no such person in the community, this time to Jason, I do not have much hope.
------ In the golden lobby, Gina is preparing for Luna's appointment and removal.
Gina's POV
"Miss Gina, this is the Golden Hall, and the second floor is the room where you and the king will make preparations. Here, we will bathe you, put on makeup and dress you, and you need to wait here for the arrival of the king, and after the ceremony, you can rest here with the king."
The maid gave me an explanation of what to look for, and I listened carefully, afraid of missing any word and making a mistake. The golden hall was gorgeously decorated, and everything was gold, with golden railings winding upward to connect the second floor.
Led by the maid, I walked into the room where Alpha was getting ready. The place was neatly tidied up, and two snow-white gowns hung in the center of the room.
My eyes were drawn to the dresses and how beautiful they were! Once again, I marveled at my lucky experience.
I went into the next small room where there was a large, deep bathtub, big enough for two people to bathe together, and tonight, we would bathe here together, and I felt my cheeks burn with shyness at the thought.
With the help of the maid, I undressed and stepped into the tub, my body fully immersed in the hot water at the right temperature, and I felt myself relaxing both physically and emotionally, imagining what a night I would have tonight that I would remember.
Perhaps he will tell me of his thoughts and may be as surprised as I am at such a wonderful fate, he will touch me, he will embrace me, he will kiss me fiercely!
We would fall asleep holding each other, say good night to each other and go to sleep with happy smiles.
"Miss. Gina, the bath is finished." I was pulled back to my thoughts by the maid's voice.
I stepped out of the tub, changed into a soft gown, and sat in front of the mirror waiting for the maid to do my makeup.
I looked at my face in the mirror and felt uneasy. My skin was rough, my features were not delicate, and my mouth was always dry and cracked; would he be disappointed with my appearance?
The maid applied a mild foundation and shiny lip glaze, then drew on my delicate eyebrows. She dries my hair and carefully straightens it with a flat iron.
After two hours, I couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was me. I wanted to take a picture and send it to Shirley to tell her how beautiful I was now!
I think Shirley would be so happy to see me now! Her dear sister would be so proud to be so beautiful one day that she would show off my picture to people around her, and even print it out and put it on the wall.
I can already imagine her happy face!
However, Shirley was invited by Alpha today to a very important negotiation, and she was the most indispensable person in the negotiation as the Red night clan's best psychologist.
Shirley had told me that now that working with the White night clan is the most important thing in our tribe, she would be back on time for my wedding. And she was going with my husband.
So, I decided not to send her a picture, if William saw it, he would think I was a woman who only focused on her appearance, and I didn't want to leave a bad impression on him before I was married.
