After acknowledging that the she-wolf she mentioned was herself, she proceeded to divulge further details about her previous pack. She would narrate anecdotes concerning her estranged mate, whom she had been separated from many moons ago. She would describe his characteristics and express the exhilaration I would experience upon discovering my own. Moreover, she would consistently display a rosy blush or radiant smile while recounting her mate's escapades and their thrilling exploits.

During the conversation about her life with the pack and the Alpha, the Luna's smile did not match her words. She appeared sad and often forced a smile. The Luna explained that this was a common reaction to losing, being separated for too long, or being rejected by one's mate.

I cherished the moments when she would recount the tales of her escapades with her partner, especially when we found solace in her private workspace, shielded from any potential disturbances. As I gazed at the confinement of the prison cell, my attention was diverted by a knock on the bedroom door. Letting out a sigh, I abandoned my contemplations entirely as the Luna entered, clutching a first aid kit in her hands.

"Why don't we get those wounds bandaged up, hmm?" I nodded in agreement before positioning myself on my stomach, allowing her unrestricted access to the newly inflicted wounds on my back resulting from the relentless whipping. Luna Sabrina commenced narrating another tale, simultaneously attending to the task of disinfecting my injuries. After a brief period, her actions came to a halt, and she fell silent. I straightened my posture, directing my gaze towards her countenance, which displayed evident concern.

"Dear Dawn, I have a request to make of you. Would you be interested in accompanying me as my lady in waiting to the upcoming Lunar Eclipse Gala? I have already spoken to Alpha Conan about bringing you along. Please do not feel obligated to accept, but it would mean a great deal to me if you did. I have always thought of you as my own daughter and would be happy to relieve you of your work and chores during the preparations. Additionally, you would be able to stay in my bedroom suite for the early morning fittings. Would you be willing to do me the honour of being my Lady in waiting at the Gala?"

Upon hearing the news that I, an Omega deemed unattractive by societal standards, would be serving as Lady in Waiting to Luna Sabrina at the Lunar Eclipse Gala, I was filled with disbelief. For as long as I could remember, I had yearned to escape my miserable existence, if only for a brief respite, and perhaps even encounter my destined mate. Now, the chance had finally materialized before me. Without hesitation, I sat upright and embraced Luna Sabrina, affirming my acceptance of the opportunity with repeated affirmations of "yes."

"Thank you! Thank you, Luna! It would be a great privilege for me to serve as your lady in waiting. I am curious about the date of the Gala and the extent of tasks and responsibilities I should complete beforehand. Additionally, I am interested in knowing the venue where the Gala will take place." My mind is filled with excitement and anticipation, as the possibility of finding my Fated Mate fills me with joy and exhilaration.

"The Gala is scheduled to take place in three weeks and will be hosted at the Moonstone Pack, which serves as the residence for the King of all Alphas. Rest assured, I will ensure your safety throughout the duration of the Gala.
