She can't believe what's happening to her right now.
Earlier, she was told by the attendant that their alpha will be meeting her in the dining hall for a late dinner, thus she asked to be escorted to a guest room for a quick rest before facing Chilve after the whole bathing together fiasco occured, so she can calm herself down and avoid getting too awkward when they meet later.
Yet she doesn't understand why the guest room she is led to looks suspiciously the very bedroom of Chilve. The very first thing that makes her think that is the table stacked with documents, as if someone just recently went through them and not treating this room as a storage of sorts.
Secondly, there're fur coats on the bed that look suspiciously something Chilve would wear, considering it looks extravagant and better looking than the ones Ford and Rin wore. And if Ford is already the right hand man of the alpha, then someone that is more important than Ford is only Chilve himself.
Thirdly, there's a painting hanging at the wall near the bed frame, and that painting looks suspiciously similar to the blonde's own face, where the blonde hair has gold paint on them, which is obviously something that cost a chunk of fortune.
Before she can even exit and asks for another room, the attendant is long gone, and now she is staring blankly at the whole room with her heartbeat thumping fast for her whole body to feel it beating.
'Calm down, we will be seeing each other later, and I will request my own room later. He left the bath earlier than me and he is not here, thus he is definitely somewhere else and might not even step into here anytime soon-'
Her thoughts are interrupted when someone knocks on the door. Hoping that it could be Lisa and Snow, she opens the door quickly, only to see Rin who is beaming brightly at the door starts asking, "are you ready for dinner?"
"Rin, is this room Chilve's?"
"Hmmm?" She tilts her head and shrugs, "of course. We can't really let you rest in other insignificant rooms, so-"
"I will get another room to sleep in later tonight, right?"
Lune's face falls when Rin mutters 'no promises' quietly, and she groans from this development, "I'm not sleeping in the same room as him, period."
"You will have to discuss this with him, but I doubt he will make a move on you so soon since he can't mark you yet without the consent of the council."
'Mark? Council?' Her bewildered face makes Rin chuckle and she grabs her hand to reassure the blonde, "he will explain to you better, but that also means it definitely won't happen tonight."
"What if he decided to be a rebel and doesn't adhere to the so-called rule?"
"He will rebel about lots of things, but mating is something that will influence us the whole pack, so he can't exactly do whatever he wants. Aren't you hungry?" Lune nods and Rin smiles, "good. The cooks are excited today to see the future alpha mate, so the dinner tonight will be the grandest we've ever seen in years."
Lune has more questions than answers now from Rin's brief explanation, and she knows that Chilve will explain more of them, but he would definitely tease her later when they are alone, and she can't bear to face that just yet. Sighing, she follows Rin while thinking about how she should room together with Lisa and Snow, wishing them to become her shield when the time comes for Chilve to try and make a move on her when she is vulnerable in her sleep.
They reach a dining hall pretty soon, where Lisa is already seated at a huge and long wooden table with Snow munching on a huge bone at the corner, and before the redhead can greet Lune, the blonde quickly sits beside her and says, "you need to help me out."
"What's wrong? Did something bad happen?"
'I accidentally saw a very naked Chilve and the wolves here pretty much acknowledged me as the alpha's mate, making me room together with him.' Nothing comes out from her mouth despite all the thoughts running through her jumbled mind, and Lisa's eyes turn towards the door and she waves, "hey Chilve! Long time no see!"
When Lune turns to have her eyes land on Chilve, she blushes when she sees the state of dress Chilve is in.
He is wearing wide looking pants made of cloth of unknown origin, possibly plants like cotton, but that's not what makes her blush. Besides all the area below his navel, Chilve is as naked as the day he is born, with his chest and abdominal muscles on display for all to see. Battle scars both old and fresh littered all around his body, from claw marks to bites to blade marks, but that actually makes Lune feels something else from all of that, where a thought of how strong Chilve can be to survive the large number of battles he got into, and that means he is a suitable ma-
'Get a grip Lune! You idiot horny girl!'
Chilve smiles genuinely when he sees her right now without the awkward situation they got into earlier, and he strides towards her purposefully, making her flinch from how close he is right now, almost close enough to breathe the same air as he is breathing in, "thanks for coming in such a short notice. I welcome you to my humble abode."
Lisa's voice becomes Lune's saving grace from all of this mess, "humble abode? More like a palace! I never thought you're someone with an important rank."
"Hmmm? This is nothing compared to Lune's birth place, right?"
"That's one thing, but still never thought yours can be comparable with hers."
"Can the both of you stop talking like I'm not here?" They finally stop and Chilve walks away, pulls out a chair beside Lune's seat, and sits down, "and why do you even asked your people to bring me here?"
"I will answer your questions later, since I'm pretty sure you are starving after your trip here."
