Awakening Luna: Darkness Holding the Light by Majie novel Chapter 14

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

ADELIA

His warm and rough palm enveloped my small hand, and my heart skipped a beat. “Let’s eat some breakfast?” Lewis asked with an affectionate tone before he gently pulled me towards the table. I obediently followed him. But deep inside, my mind was filled with a single thought that keeps on repeating in my brain. ‘He… is holding my hand… ‘He is gently holding my hand… we look like a real couple…!

‘Goddess…

‘No. I need to calm down. Lewis is only casually holding my hand before I stood there like an idiot and won’t come to the table,’ I thought. ‘He’s not holding it like a lover. See? This is just a normal gesture. I shouldn’t be ahead of myself,’ I convinced myself. Although Lewis already marked me, it was clear to me that we only had a contractual relationship. He would protect me and help me achieve my goal while I would be giving him the information about my visions. I was not his real mate… and I should not even start thinking that he would be treating me like it. ‘Right. I should stop thinking unnecessary things and focus on my goal,’ I took a deep breath and calmed myself. Like the rest of the pack house, the garden was huge, and it took us a couple of seconds before we arrived at the table in the center of the garden. Lewis, however, did not let go of my hand. Instead, he was holding it even more firmly. ‘Did he not want me to sit yet?’ I turned to look at him in confusion.

Lewis met my stare and in just a few seconds, I felt like I was about to be lost in his deep, dark eyes. Slowly, the tip of Lewis’ lips slightly tilted up, bringing my attention away from his eyes to his lips. The curve of his lips was beautiful… and its color… It was very enticing. For some reason, my heart started beating even faster and I was starting to feel flustered. “Ye-yeah?” I stuttered. “Hmmn. I just wanted to see your face in the daylight,” Lewis replied. “You are as beautiful and alluring in the day, as you are during the night,” he added before lifting my hand on his lips. Then, I felt his soft lips on my knuckles. My eyes widened as I subconsciously tried to take my hand away. However, Lewis firmly held it as he pressed a long kiss on my knuckles.
