Chapter 40 Losing Control

"Hold still, Luna," Kayla said as she tightened the strings of my corset.

I groaned and held on to the bedside table, hissing. "Damn!" I couldn't help myself from grunting in pain in my upper body.

"All done, Luna."

I smiled wryly at her, trying to inhale and exhale but I was having a hard time doing that. "Thanks, Kayla..."

Kayla bowed her head. "I am happy to serve you, Luna." She smiled. "I am also honored that you have chosen me to be the one who must dress you up."

Because you could be trusted, I wanted to say but I only smiled as an answer. "Has Lycan arrived?" I asked as she helped me on my petticoat.

"He hasn't announced his presence, Luna," Kayla said. "If he arrives, I will immediately tell you."

"Not in the presence of Grant." I lowered my tone. "If you happen to meet him," I paused and drew closer to her so I could minimize my voice. "Tell him to make his way up to my window." I motioned my head, indicating the specific window where Lycan must come in.
