“It is your relationship you’re entering it’s none of my business,”

I started putting some caesar salad on my plate.

“Like you said I’m going to be your Luna,” I put some Prosciutto, Monticello, and Soppressata on my plate. “I want to know what you think,”

He let out a sharp breath. “I think he had a point that you shouldn’t dress like that in front of other men. You’re his by the goddess,”

I chuckled and nodded. “Yet he hasn’t spoken to me. By all accounts, he feels the pull too but he ignores me. I should give him the respect of a partner when he doesn’t. Should I try the quail eggs?”

He nodded. “Someone has to start it first. Quail eggs are an acquired taste, but the smoked salmon is heavenly,”

“I agree I should give something to start, but this has happened quickly. Do you blame me for refusing to give up my independence until I’m on his land and have a duty to fulfill? I’m in a bit of an in– between,” I looked over and gasped. “Do you think Ella would want some rotisserie pineapple?“.

He sighed and grabbed another plate picking up some of the fruit for his sister. “So when you are in the role you will give more?”

“It’s my duty. The goddess has designed for me to be his. I have no issue dressing with respect for my partner, but only when he is my partner,”

“Hmm. I can understand that,”

“I don’t want to go to a new pack with any distrust between us. I know he trusts you as you’re one of his warriors. I would like to have a good relationship with the people of the pack,” I finished by grabbing bread rolls for myself.

“I am not good at seeing things from others‘ perspectives. Grayson and I have that in common,”

We headed back to the table and I set down my plate.

“I saved you some ham,” Ella placed a large slab in front of me.

The food was magnificent, I had never eaten such well–prepared food in my life. Round after round of deliciously seasoned meat that had been smoked, marinated, grilled, and cooked to perfection.

The best part was enjoying a conversation with my new people. Grayson actually laughed only once at Matt’s comment

but he did. He talked to me here and there suggesting food mainly. He helped me flag down the server with the snow crab. He had said I wasn’t eating enough so he put a slab of steak on my plate. I glowed with the attention he gave.

“Oh, my goddess. I am so stuffed I’m pretty sure they could sell me,” Ella huffed, patting her tummy.

“The chicken legs were the best,” Matt said.

“I have a love for crab so that was my favorite,” I smiled at my plate and handed it to the server.

“Agreed,” Grayson spoke and signed for the check. “Let’s go sleep,”

I suddenly realized there were only four rooms. My heart lept into my throat.

Was I going to sleep next to him tonight? My heart sang at the thought of sleeping on his chest laying in his scent all night so it hung on me. Waking up in his arms. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

I gladly and serenely walked to the elevator humming in my head excited to be alone with him and have time together. Grayson opened the door to our suite and I almost skipped inside. We walked up to our room and my face must have been radiating.

“I’ll take the couch good night Annette,”

Of course
