Third Person POV
Same as yesterday, Rayna takes a nap after her training session to compensate for her lack of sleep the night before.
Harley walks into their bedroom a little before 11 and notices she's still asleep. He wakes her up by softly shaking her and saying her name. "Rayna, baby. Wake up."
"Mhm?" she hums. She sits up and tiredly rubs her eyes. "What is it?"
"There's a meeting at 1 that I want you to attend with me, so we should have lunch soon," Harley explains, sitting on the side of the bed and rubbing Rayna's back.
"Oh. Okay," she says softly, standing up. She stretches and ties her hair up into a low half bun. "I'll get ready after we eat," she explains.
"You sure you don't want to change before we eat?" he asks.
She looks down and realizes she's only wearing one of Harley's t-shirts and a pair of underwear. She blushes slightly and walks into the closet. When she comes out, she's put on shorts and a bra. She also slips on a pair of fuzzy white slippers.
"There we go," Harley comments with a chuckle.
Rayna scoffs, and they head downstairs to the Leader Commons kitchen for lunch.
*~*~*~*
After lunch, the two of them get ready.
Rayna showers, shaves her legs and underarms, brushes and dries her long brown hair, and puts it into an over-the-shoulder ponytail. She finds a professional outfit in the closet--a black pencil skirt and a long-sleeved white button up shirt. She rolls up the sleeves a little bit and pairs it with a pair of black flats.
She texts Naomi and has her come and do her makeup: a simple, natural look.
Harley showers as well, shaves his stubble that grew the night before, and brushes and blow dries his somewhat long, light brown hair. He styles it pushed back, as he always does for meetings. He puts on a similar outfit to Rayna's--a pair of black slacks and a white, long-sleeve button up, and rolls up the sleeves.
Except, since he hates wearing dress shoes, he puts on his black combat boots.
12:50 rolls around, and Rayna is nervous, her heart beating fast and her hands shaking slightly. She takes deep breaths.
"What's this meeting for again?" she asks Harley.
"It's to discuss the rogue problem we've been having," he tells her.
"Who's gonna be there?"
"The other leaders, the pack commanders, and their lieutenants. So, Keane, Emmett, Calum, and maybe a little over ten others," he explains. "I know that's a lot of new people for you, but I will be there the entire time. You don't have to say anything if you don't want to, and you can leave at any time. I just want you to attend so that you can start fitting into your role as Queen, okay?"
She takes another deep breath and nods.
"Okay."
*~*~*~*
Harley and Rayna are the last to join the meeting, entering at exactly one o'clock, as it is common courtesy for everyone else attending meetings with the King to be early. It's held in one of the many meeting rooms in the South Wing of the castle. As they enter, everyone stands up and bows. Rayna looks around while slightly hiding behind Harley in the doorway.
