The Perfect Luna

Chapter 27: Evening Wear

“So, what is it?” Gideon looked at his Beta with his brows furrowed. He knew that Reid would never distract him at a moment like this. Not when he just brought his mate to his house to spend time with her morning after you were gone as I received the news about local packs training together with foxes and werebears right next to our territory.

“Foxes and werebears, you say?” Gideon rubbed his chin, which he had shaven clean just this morning before meeting Riannon. Now his usual stubble wasn’t there and it felt weird… This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Foxes, werebears and werewolves hated each other. They were all subjects to Lycan’s and it was usually hard to make them stay civil with each other.

And now they were training happily together. Only that both Reid and the king knew that there was nothing to be happy about there.

They all were not one hundred percent satisfied with the lycans’s rule. All of them thought that they could do better. Not even realizing that it was the lycans who kept them from killing each other and going to war. There was a big difference between lycans and other kinds of shifters. And it wasn’t just the fact that they were physically stronger and more powerful. It was the fact that in spite of their power, they could control their feral beasts inside of them

better than anyone else and were capable of making reasonable decisions at all times.

They could have submitted everyone using raw force. Just like their ancestors did back in the day. But now lycans preferred to avoid wars where it was necessary. And sometimes Gideon was questioning that decision. Because ever since the lycans went onto this peaceful path, everybody wanted a piece of them. Unfortunately, they were not ready for the new ways.

Now the rumors were spreading all over the kingdom that an uprising was in the works. But it was still hard to tell which packs were involved in it and when would they start acting. Or if they already

started…

“The warriors will deal with it, you know that,” Reid placed his hands in his pockets, leaning over the wall, “But…”

“It’s just the tip of the iceberg and we still don’t know who is causing all that,” Gideon said out loud what they both were thinking and then looked at his Beta, “And you still think it’s a good time for a White Party?”

“Actually, I do,” Reid smirked and Gideon remembered that he made him his second in command for a reason.

“There is not much to tell,” the Beta shrugged his shoulders, “It’s simple, really. Let them believe that we have no idea what is going on. I am sure sooner or later they will show themselves. All we need to do is watch them carefully. Luckily, our spies are in place.”

It was not a bad idea and Gideon knew that. At least it was definitely better to make them believe that they didn’t have a clue about what was going on. If they stayed visibly alerted then their enemies would lay low. That wasn’t what he wanted. He wanted to act. Fast. He wanted to be done with it and concentrate on his mate.

“Fine,” the king grunted, “White party it is then. Why the hell it is white by the way?”

“You are asking the wrong person,” Reid chuckled, “All that is on Savannah.”

“Got it,” the lycan king prepared to leave but stopped to give a quick glance to his friend,“ And, Reid, I will have another small task for you…”

Savvanah open the doors to a spacious light room with a loud bang and stormed in, pulling Riannon after her.

“And this is where you are going to be staying!” the girl giggled cheerfully, “It’s the Luna’s bedroom!”

Ria almost choked trying to say the next word, “What? Is it even okay for me to stay here?

“Of course!” the lycan princess waved it off, “I wouldn’t have prepared it for you if it wasn’t! My mum used to live here.”

“Your mum?” Ria suddenly felt that the room was too hot, “As in the former queen?”

“Yeah,” Savvy shrugged her shoulders, “Do you like it? Should I change anything? We can change everything! Oh, I feel that it’s going to be so fun!”

“Erm, no!” Riannon tried to calm the girl down, “It’s amazing! I love it! No need to make any changes. And I am… humbled by the honor of being able to live in this room.”

“Aww,” a cute smile curved the princess’ lips, “You are so sweet! Reid told me that you are sweet! And Kyle told me that you are sweet. But you are even sweeter!”

“Th-thanks,” Riannon did not know how to deal with all the excitement around her. It was

a bit too much,

“How about the dresses?” Savvanah changed the subject abruptly, “I told you I prepared you some! Didn’t I?”

“You did,” Ria obeyed when the girl grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into what looked white dresses of every shape, fabric and size.

“Look at this,” Savvy grabbed the first dress she saw and placed the hanger onto Ria’s chest, “It’s as if it was made for you!”

The Luna looked at herself in the mirror, not even knowing anymore what was the right way to proceed here. The dress in her hands was from one of the most popular now bridal designers.

“Uhm,” she mumbled, “I don’t know, Savvy. Isn’t it a bit too much…of a bridal dress?”

“Of course, not!” the girl snorted, “Why would you even assume that?” she flapped her long lashes innocently and now Ria was wondering if she was overthinking it all…

“Well, it’s Vera Wang,” she pointed out, showing the girl the label.

“Tsk,” Savannah rolled her eyes, “Vera Wang does evening wear too!”

Riannon forced a smile. Yes, Vera did have evening gowns in her collections. It was just … this dress definitely wasn’t from one of those.

“Busy?” Gideon knocked on the doorway of the room, his eyes lingering over Riannon holding the white dress and widening slightly.

As for her, never had she ever been so happy to see the king before. Maybe he would be able to save her from trying out all those bridal gowns?

He saw the desperation in her eyes. He knew far too well that his sister should have been taken in small dosages and it was silly of him to leave the two of them alone on the first day.

“Riannon,” he came closer to her with a little smirk on his face, “How about I give you a little tour of my pack? It may be useful for you in the future.”

“What a great idea!” Savvy chimed in, “I will go too!”

“Don’t you have a party to plan?” Gideon shot his brow up, demonstrating to his sibling that this conversation was over and she was better to find something else to do. Luckily, Savvanah knew how to

take a hint. And this time she chose to do what her brother wanted.

“Oh, right!” she pretended to remember all that suddenly and rubbed her eyes,“I completely forgot. And yes, you are right. There is so much to be done still. So, I’ll be seeing you two later, I guess. It was a pleasure to meet you, Ria.”

“Likewise,” Riannon smiled, realizing what kind of game they were playing and meeting the lycan king’s gaze.

“Shall we?” he stretched his hand and she accepted it without thinking twice…comments, I was not feeling well over Christmas at all. I still don’t. I understand that some of you would want to stop reading the book because of the inconsistency in daily updates. But I am afraid sometimes things are out of my control and what I do now is the best I can do at this moment of time. If you still feel that it’s not worth going on with the book, it is up to you only. I still wish you all the best and happy holidays ahead.

For the ones who stay with me on Ria and Gideon’s journey, I will be updating daily until the 31st of December. 31 of December and 1st of January will be my day-offs as well. And I hope to get back to normal daily updates from the 2nd of January.
