Mira's (POV)
I didn't bother dressing up for this dinner thing even though someone had kindly put a few dresses in the wardrobe for me, they weren't mine and I had a thing about wearing someone else's clothes so I just splashed some water on my face in the bathroom and as I dried myself off with the soft fluffy towel I looked in the mirror. " Mate" my wolf breathed so quietly in my mind I would have missed it if it was noisy, "so you haven't left me" I thought back to her expecting some snarky response but she just sighed. " You keep shunning me and it made me weak, the more you ignore me then the more chance you will lose me for good to your witch side Mira! You must embrace both parts for the both of us" she wispered and then she was silent again. "Witch part yeah as if! The thought of my witch side made me shudder, what if I had powers stronger than I thought? Even so it's not as if I had practiced."
As I neared the bottom of the stairs the hallway was empty it I could hear the hustle and bustle of the pack coming from the dining room and kitchen but as I got closer to the door the noise stopped and went all quiet as if they knew I was there and didn't want me to hear them talking about me "probably".
"F**k it" I thought to myself " If I am going to be Luna of this pack then I better act like it and not overthinking things is the start".
Opening the door faster than I'd like I didn't have time to stop it from slamming against the wall causing everyone to turn and stare at me as if I needed more reasons to look like the newbie " mental face plant into hand" my wolf sniggered adding to my embarrassment " urgh it's gonna be a long night" I thought.
" What are you morons gawking at?" Luka's voice boomed across the room from where he was sitting next to Diaz who thankfully wasn't staring at me, as I looked at Luka our eyes met and that's when I felt it for the first time, "Mate" and the warmth of the feeling in my gut and that's when I knew it was true. Before I knew it I could feel myself smiling "so it was true this mate bond thing and exactly what mum described as an indescribable feeling" I thought to my wolf who was now humming contentedly. I must've moved without knowing it because I was now stood right Infront of Luka and he had gotten up to greet me with a large grin on his face "I see you have not decided to change" he said looking me up and down and I couldn't resist I just moved in pressing my lips to his without a thought of everyone else in the room probably watching.
It was only soft but I felt whatever tension was in his shoulders fall away as I placed my arms around him an he kissed me back. "Errm do you guys wanna get a room or shall we eat some grub?" Giggled Tia as she sat herself down at the other end of the table, I pulled myself away not looking at Luka as slight embarrassment finally set in and I plonked myself down in the chair opposite Diaz next to Luka "shame I gotta look at that douche bag while I eat" I thought and someone else started laughing then and I realised it was Jen " not safe" she said tapping the side of her head and then I realised she meant thoughts aren't safe so I quickly put up a mental block without shunning my wolf.
"Hope y'all hungry" called Tia and then Luka stood up again but this time with a glass in hand and I just knew this was going to be some speech about me and I closed my eyes taking in a breath preparing myself for even more embarrassment that was surely to come.
