Mya’s POV: I felt someone shaking me. “Mya, wake up. Time to eat, honey.” I slowly opened my eyes. I could smell food: ham, chicken, and fresh-baked bread. My stomach growled. I licked my lips at the thought of food. I slowly sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, yawned, and drew back the blankets. Before I could swing my legs, Domina had me in her arms. She gracefully walked over to a mid-sized square wooden table and sat me in a chair. I saw Alpha Julian seated at the table. I noticed a strange man sitting beside him. I immediately dropped to the floor. I was on my knees with my face inches away from the ground. “Domina, there are men present.” “It’s okay, Mya. They won’t touch you. They know the rules. We are having a family dinner. And no one will know that we broke the rules.
