Lekhma returned to his chamber after spending time with his wife and requested Rohan's presence.
Rohan reported almost immediately and took a deep bow before straightening up. "Supreme Alpha, you called for me."
"Mhmm..." Lekhma slightly nodded and turned around to stare at Rohan. "The ceremony will be held in the next five days. I put it into your hands to prepare, as you're my most trusted man, so get everyone to work. " He averted his gaze from Rohan and picked up a book from his table to read.
"Yes, Supreme Alpha." Rohan turned around and exited the room.
A deep breath left Lakhma's nose as he stared blankly. This decision was not easy for him to make as he knew how much his wife would be hurt. But what can he do? He slightly shook his head and returned his attention to the book in his hand.
