[Margaret’s POV]

The next day, I told Elizabeth about receiving the Lycan King. Elizabeth was wearing revealing clothes at the dining table and dabbing butter on a piece of bread. She looked distracted.

I looked at her exposed flat stomach and snow-white skin and repeated, “The Lycan King is coming to visit our pack next week. We need to have a welcome ceremony. You are Luna of the pack. You have to preside over this. Are you listening, Elizabeth?”

“Next week? What about my succession ceremony?”

I mentally rolled my eyes. This was my sister, Elizabeth. She was always concerned about herself only. She had really been spoiled by our parents.

“Perhaps you can do it after we’ve received the werewolf royal family and entertained the Lycan King. That’s the most important thing for us now. Besides, Armstrong should be back by then. I’m sure he’ll be willing to attend Luna’s inauguration ceremony with you.” God knew how much restraint I had to use to say these words calmly.

“Werewolf royal family? Are they coming? Will they attend my Luna inauguration ceremony?” Elizabeth was suddenly excited.

“Maybe,” I replied.

“What about the Lycan King? Will he come too?”

I thought back to what Armstrong had said.

“I think so.”

“Oh my god, it’s the Lycan King!” Elizabeth’s face was flushed with excitement, and her eyes shone with unusual emotion. “It’s said that the members of the royal family are all tall and strong, and they’re all very good in bed. He’s everyone’s dream lover! I heard that pure-blooded members of the royal family have special abilities. The Lycan King is actually going to attend my inauguration!”

I didn’t comment. I didn’t care about any of this. I just hoped this would make Elizabeth take the reception seriously and handle the welcome ceremony well.

“Then let’s do that. I want to go pick out the clothes I will wear to the inauguration ceremony. I want the Lycan King to see me at first glance!” Elizabeth walked out hurriedly.

“Hey, Elizabeth…”

I wanted to call out to her, but I didn’t have the time. “What do you mean by this? You’re leaving it all to me? I’m not Luna of this tribe.” I was a little angry. She had stopped me from discussing all the things I had in mind.

Suddenly Elizabeth walked back through the door. I thought she had changed her mind.

She ran her hand through her hair. It was an alluring gesture. There were countless men who would go crazy for her at this moment. The thought that Armstrong might do the same made me even more uncomfortable.

“Oh right, you and Anthony should host the ceremony to entertain the Lycan King.”

“What?! I disagree, Elizabeth,” I protested.

“Armstrong is not with the tribe now. Anthony is the Beta of Armstrong. I’m Luna. I have the right to assign anyone to do what I want.”

I couldn’t believe Elizabeth dared to boss me around like that.

“If there’s any problem, you can discuss it with him.”

Elizabeth left without looking back.

Anthony and I sat at the table side by side, discussing the program of the reception.

Armstrong only said that the Lycan King would be here next week, but he did not specify what time it would be. We had to be prepared at all times.

We prepared lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea and desserts to ensure an adequate supply of food all day. We prepared some rooms and left the biggest and most comfortable room for the Lycan King. We also lined up special cooks and servants to serve the royal family.

At the same time, Anthony suggested strengthening patrol operations and extending the picket line by a kilometer to ensure that we would be prepared for their arrival.

These were not easy tasks.

Anthony and I were exhausted and barely slept.

Elizabeth didn’t help at all. All she did was come up with whimsical ideas to disrupt our planning process. I had to spend a lot of time explaining to her why things had to be done a certain way and why her inauguration ceremony and the reception of the Lycan King couldn’t be held at the same time. In addition, I had to persuade her to change her mind about appearing at the inauguration ceremony in an ultra-short dress.

Putting aside these annoyances, Anthony was a good helper.

He was indeed the best Beta in the tribe. The two of us worked together and progressed quickly. But I had to do my best to ignore the way his eyes seemed to be fixated on Elizabeth every time she came over. I had a feeling that things weren’t as Elizabeth had said. It was more like Elizabeth wanted Anthony to ask me out. Every time we discussed something, he would lap up some of Elizabeth’s idiotic suggestions unconditionally.
