His Miracle Luna-the Forsaken Lycan Queen novel Chapter 79

Elena’s POV

“What, you don’t like it?”

I felt Prince Deacon’s warm hands landing on top of my shoulder, giving it a little squeeze as he leaned his face down near my cheek, asking.

I swallowed with difficulty as I palpated from how close he was to me.

Blinking a couple of times in disbelief, I stared at what was in front of me once again, making sure that what I was seeing was really what it was.

In the middle of the back lawn of the camp, there was a newly set up medium–sized tent. He opened the door for me, and the amazing aroma of meat greeted me. A meat!

After months of being here with only dry foods and ready–to–eat meals, I never thought I’d be able to eat meat again. At least not while we were here.

I salivated with desir,e and my stomach crumbled at the sight of well–presented medium–rare steak in front of us.

“Are you kidding me? Is that even a question?” I asked with excitement as I gestured to the food inside.

Prince Deacon laughed wholeheartedly as he stepped forward and gestured to the log chair. “After you.”

Without hesitation, I sat down. I didn’t even wait for him to sit down before I started eating.

I took a bite one after another, moaning in between with how deliciously it was cooked.

Halfway through eating, I felt the burning gaze on me, making me halt from taking another slice into my mouth. Looking up, I found Prince Deacon’s amused expression and instantly blushed.

Swallowing, I tilted my head and questioned, “What?”

“Is there something on my face?” I even tried to wipe the side of my lips to make sure he didn’t immediately respond to me.

In return, a comfortable and heart–warming laugh escaped his lips. “Slow down, Elena. It’s not going anywhere. You’re eating like you’ve been starving for days.”

As he said that, he even made a sweet gesture of adding three more sliced of meat to my plate from his.

Smiling back, I shrugged and enjoyed the moment, taking another slice into my mouth and savoring the juiciness of the meat

“Maybe because I have been. You try surviving on dry rations and see how dainty you feel,” I commented.

He was about to open his lips to reply, but something crept into my mind, and I couldn’t help but ask in excitement, “Oh, do we have more of this? I need a second round!”

“What? Forgetting we have been eating the same meal since you arrived?” he asked, makin freeze for a while and look at him sheepishly.

However, my sillness just gave him more reason to laugh. Shaking his head amusingly, he added, “You’ve got all the grace of a warrior. I’ll give you that. But as for a noble lady’s temperament-‘

“Oops! Don’t even go there.” I raised my hand to stop him from speaking as I swallowed the rest of the meat in my mouth before I continued proudly, “I don’t have it, and I don’t want it. Pass the water.”

I even shamelessly gestured toward the water near him, but he didn’t mind. He moved, let out a huge smile, and willingly poured me a glass of water before handing it over to me.

“Oh, that was heaven,” I commented with great satisfaction as I leaned on the table and rubbed my bloated stomach from finishing my plate.

“I contacted James before we went to the final war, you know?” Prince Deacon suddenly spoke, catching me off guard.

I sat up straight and put all my attention on him. So, it turned out that the meal was just an appetizer for the real deal, which was his explanation of everything that happened.

Leaning my arms on the table and upper body, I intently stared at him and raised my brows with curiosity, asking, “Before the war? Why didn’t you tell me?”
