A new day started with a new resolution. Eila was determined not to let the previous day's events hold her back. Today Meera had been a great help to her.
Micheal and Meera had been watching her pushing herself to the limit every day. Since she was taking all the responsibility alone in the practice of her upcoming entrance exams, she was working to the bone to maintain a balance between her family and exam preparations. They decided to lessen her burdens by taking most of the workload off her. Eila was glad that it happened internally but also she felt guilty about it. She can't expect her younger siblings to take all the work and stress. They are still too young for this.
After a quick breakfast and some encouragement from her siblings, she reached the library early in the morning. Lukas and Zois sent her a message via Leonard that they would join her for physical training after lunchtime. She was relieved that she would get some time to prepare her mind before facing them. She was still very nervous about Lukas's proposal, and despite her resolve, she was still overthinking.
However, to her utter surprise or so I say delight, Leonard visited her in the library.
Before his arrival, he simply asked her about her whereabouts. She didn't think much of it but when he arrived she couldn't stop blushing and smiling like a child. He looked regal in his blue long jacket and black pants. The jacket colour matched his eyes. His hair kept in a loose pattern but stayed in one place. With each clack of his boots made Eila's heart beat faster.
Finally, he reached near her and pulled her chin towards him. He kissed her on the lips. Sera was already howling inside her to see their handsome mate.
However, Eila stilled her heart and took a deep breath taking Leonard's delicious smell in. He was looking so smitten with her. A man drowning in love. Finally, she cleared her throat which brought Leonard out of his enchantment.
" What brings you here in the early morning, my dear," asked Eila.
Leonard took a moment to look at her face and replied smiling softly. " I just wanted to take a good look at my beautiful mate before starting my day. Also, I had some free time. I wanted to utilise that opportunity by teaching you about pack politics."
Eila smiled at the thoughtfulness of her handsome mate. She nodded with him in agreement and they started discussing and making notes about what she had learned so far. After some time of review and revision, he taught her many things about how the moon treasure pack worked, how other packs run and what set of rules govern them. She came to know about many different levels of knowledge that could not gather from the books she had read till now. At last, Leonard parted ways with her to fulfil his pack duties for the day.
Lunchtime was nearing. So, she just read some more chapters from the book she had borrowed and left for the dining hall. Today she was in a hurry, so she forgot to bring her lunch. It was okay because she was invited by her twin mates to eat at their table.
Before reaching the dining hall she decided to meet her parents. She went inside the infirmary, which was on the way to the dining hall.
She entered the lobby and saw Luna Priscilla standing there.
