Chapter 39: Dinner with the Alpha's Family.

Bellatrix:
The strong scent of roses hits my nose as I awaken from my slumber, I can hear the sound of rushing water and I can already tell a bath is being run for me. A blush creeps to my cheeks as I recall the incidents of earlier before — Alec had fucked me against his work table and then he had taken us up to the west wing of the packhouse where his room was and we had gone at it — over and over again till I passed out of pleasure and fatigue.
How long has it been since I have been doing thoroughly fucked? my last year in school maybe? It was with a guy Callum and he did know how to handle a woman, but Alec beat him a hundred times better. I smile, hugging the blanket to my chest.
"You are awake Luna"
"Holy goddess" I sit up instantly, my head whipping to see the young girl standing at the edge of the bed. "You scared the shit out of me lady! And—" I squint closely at her— "you look quite familiar," I pause, the girl is silent, perhaps hoping for me to remember her without her help..and soon I do. "Fleur, Fleur right?"
The girl beams brightly, "Yes Luna, you found remember me, I am honored. I am the maid assigned to you by the Alpha. I already prepared your bath, warm as you like it. Would you like to take your bath now, Luna?" I grin at her just as another person or rather Fae as I take in jet presence, breezes.
"You cannot step into the Alpha's wing-like that!" Fleur snaps at my little Fae maid.
"Princess, I have been longing to see you since you awoke, but the Lycan Alpha won't let me" Blue's tiny voice rings out, ignoring Fleur's outburst. Right, I am Luna, as I am also a princess. What did I say about identity crisis again?
Fleur is somehow taken back at Blue's voice and probably at her very blue personality as she is dressed in all blue like she always has been — only now in more modern clothes.
I think Fleur regains her composure as she starts to speak again. "You are not allowed—"
I cut her off, "it's fine Fleur. Blue works for me too so I am sure you both should get along as she might be here for a while"
"Yes, Luna" Flier replies, although she is obviously not comfortable with my suggestion. She will get used to it.
"Now Blue," I say as I get off the bed, shrugging on the robe Fleur hands to me. "Why are you here on mortal planes? And has anything happened to L'agaib?"
Blue suddenly starts to cough at my question, my eyes snap to her, and my brows slightly raised at her reaction. "What is going on Blue?"
"Nothing at all, Princess. You should go on and take your bath"
The slight, almost unnoticeable twitch in Blue's eyes as she speaks is enough for me to know something is going on that I do not know about. But I do not push it, just not yet.

Having taken a bath and shrugged on one of Alec's T-shirts and shorts which by the is way bigger than mine, I feel a little at ease. Emphasis on little, as I still have a lot on my plate to deal with, a fucking lot. The first one was me finding out about what happened to Astrid and the pool of transition. The list would probably stretch longer, but for now, I'll focus on one, not to mention that I have to be discreet, now that Alpha King Steven has placed a bounty on my head. I wonder why Alec has not told me about it yet though.
'Because you were busy fucking' my subconscious niches at me. Right, we were.
"Breakfast is ready, Luna" Fleur calls out from the doorstep of Alec's room
"Sure bring it in," I tell her.
There is a pause from Fleur's side at the door and for a while, I assume she left, until she speaks again. "Luna, you are going to be eating at the central dining hall alongside the Alpha and his family" Fleur walks in as she says that, with Blue trailing beside her.
My hands that had been fumbling with my hairband freeze and I raise my brows at Fleur, "breakfast with Alec's Family?"
She nods in confirmation "The Alpha's Mother requested of it"
I gulp, I am not afraid of Alec's family which I now know consists of Leila, his mother, and his brother, and thanks to Karen I know there is no love lost between him and Logan. So why would he want to have breakfast with them? Especially his mother and Logan?
"The Alpha has no choice but to honor her request as the former Luna of the pack" Fleur adds, answering my unsaid questions.
"I see—"
"Oh Princess, you do not think you will go on to the dining hall dressed like this? I do not think the Lycan Family will approve of you dressed–" Blue"s voice trails off.
"Shabbily you mean?'' I offer.
Blue's lips tighten and she bows her head. " I didn't mean it that way," she mutters.
"It's fine, I tell her, " and you are right, I should not be dressed like this at a meeting with the elders that hold power in this sacred pack, right Fleur?" I glance at Fleur and she nods in agreement.
'' I will get you a suitable dress in a jiffy, Luna"
"That will not be necessary, I can glamour her up" Blue speaks up.
Her statement makes Fleur stare at her confusedly, "glamour her up? What does that mean?"
"It means she is going to dress me all up, with magic" I reply, although that isn't exactly what glamour means, but there is not an easier way to explain it to Fleur, so that should do it.
"Ha"
A few moments and a mirage of magic later, Alec's shirt and short has been glamoured up to a yellow pleated sundress stopping just a little bit above my knee and my choice of shoe is a white conservative sandal that seems to shine as the rays of the sun hits it.
"Wow this is beautiful," Fleur comments.
"Indeed" Blue agrees, watching her work with pride. It is beautiful definitely, but for some reason I do not think I need to dress up for this breakfast because it might end up in a disaster with the animosity brewing between Alec and Logan. Still I do not protest as I follow Blue and Fleur up to the dining room.
