A bite

Mia’s POV

When I woke up the next morning, few maids were already in the room but there was no sign of Logan and I sighed in relief. I didn’t think I was ready to see him again that morning, especially not with the kiss that happened last night.

“Good morning my lady”

One of the maids greeted and I smiled, trying to shake off the lingering thoughts of Logan and the kiss.

“Good morning”

I replied, sitting up on the bed.

“The alpha wants you to join him for breakfast, my lady” she revealed and I felt a knot in my stomach at the mention of Logan and my mind wandered back to the way he had kissed me. I felt a blush rise to my cheeks as I remembered the way my body had responded to his touch and I shivered.

Pushing the thoughts away, I got out of the bed as the maids began to help me get ready for the day, helping me bathe and getting dressed into a beautiful gown and few minutes later, I was all ready.

Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I smiled in satisfaction at the way the dress fitted me perfectly. The maids had styled my hair in loose waves, allowing my hair fall back like a golden waterfall and the dress, a rich dark blue color complimented my skin tone perfectly.

“You look lovely my lady”

One of the maids muttered , admiring their efforts and I smiled.

“Thank you”

I replied, stepping away from the mirror.

“Lead the way”

I ordered and she nodded as she led me out of the room.

The maid led me to the dining room and there, Logan sat with his back facing me. He was reading a paper and didn’t seem to notice my arrival.

“Her highness is here my lord”

The maid announced my presence and Logan’s head lifted, his eyes scanning the room before landing on me. A slow smile spread across his face and I couldn’t understand why my heart skipped a beat.

“Good morning my lord”

I greeted bowing slightly and he smiled as he folded the paper and set it aside.

“Good morning”

He replied, standing up and pulled out a chair for me.

“Sit”

He said, his voice gentle but commanding.

“How was your night Maya? Did you have a good night sleep?”

He asked as I sat down and I nodded.

“Yes, I did my lord. How about you?”

I asked and he smiled.

“I had a wonderful night”

He simply replied as he picked up his fork and started to eat.

I watched him take a bite of his food, his eyes never leaving mine and I felt a flutter in my chest. There was something in his gaze that made me feel like he was seeing right through me, like he knew exactly what I was thinking and I looked away, trying to focus on my own plate.

The breakfast smelled and tasted so good. They were several dishes on the table and their food wasn’t much different from ours back home.

I took another bite, savoring the flavors but I couldn’t help but steal glances at Logan. He seemed relaxed, enjoying his meal and we ate in silence.

As we finished our meal, Logan pushed his plate away and leaned back in his chair, his eyes settling on me like I was some kind of his next meal. I felt a shiver run down my spine as he stared at me, his expression unreadable.

“Tonight, there will be a banquet in honor of you Maya”

He suddenly revealed and I widened my eyes in surprise.

“The pack members will be gathering to welcome you as their Luna”

He added and I nodded, trying to appear calm despite the nervousness that was building up inside me. A banquet, in my honor? It was a lot to take in.

Being from one of the smallest pack in the country, I had never been one for big gatherings and now a banquet was held in my honor.

As if sensing my worries, Logan placed his hand on mine and smiled at me.

“You’ll do just fine”

He assured and I smiled, feeling a blush rise to my cheeks at his touch.

“I have to go now my lady”

He said, dropping my hand and I felt a pang of disappointment as he stood up from his seat.

“ I’ll see you tonight”

He said over his shoulder before walking away.
