His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 277 The Bright Side

Logan

I couldn’t shake the feeling of her lips against mine as I stood there on the balcony, the night air cool against my skin. The city lights twinkled below, but their beauty was lost on me. All I could think about was the kiss, the way Ella had reacted, the look of shock and confusion in her eyes.

It had happened so quickly, a moment of weakness, a lapse in judgment. One minute we were talking, laughing, enjoying the serenity of the night, and the next, I was kissing her, my wolf driving me forward, excitement and desire clouding my judgment.

But she hadn’t wanted it. She had pulled away, her face pale, her eyes wide. “What was that, Logan? What are you playing at?” she had asked, her voice trembling.

“I don’t know,” I whispered, my heart pounding. “I just… I felt something, and I acted on it. I’m sorry, Ella.”

I replayed the moment in my mind, trying to make sense of it, trying to understand what had driven me to act so impulsively. I knew she had been regretting our fake relationship, I had seen it in her eyes, in the way she had carried herself throughout the evening. But the kiss, that had been real, at least for me. And now, I had ruined everything.

“Logan,” my wolf spoke, interrupting my brooding. “You know she liked the kiss.” “I know,” I muttered, leaning against the railing. “But she’s hiding her true feelings. Why?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” My wolf’s voice was soft, almost sympathetic. “She’s afraid. Afraid of you, of your family, of your life.”
