Chapter 26
Griffin 26
Building the bookshelves with A’s great-uncle had been a lot of fun. He was a good guy
reminding me of Dillion. Thatbined with the fact he very loudly told A I was the better-looking
onepared to David made me like him already. Because of the way he looked up and winked, I
noticed A couldn’t keep her eyes off me the moment I took my shirt off because it was getting
hot. It felt like this had been the right thing to do, she even brought us snacks. The best moment
had been when Nic left the room though and A and I worked together to ce the crown
molding. Now we were eating some pizza with her great-uncle and grandparents. Nic and Quinn
kept teasing each other, and I missed having arge family like A has. What I also missed was
the chance to properly introduce my mate to my family. I just know that they would love her. A
never really introduced me as her mate she would just say. My name, here he is, or something
along those lines. Now dinner was almost over and I still didn’t know where I stood. What would
happen after this, Nic and I said we would give the bookshelves the first coat of paint before calling
it a night. And I hated the idea of having to go back to the packhouse to sleep there.
“I’m sorry you have to go back to the packhouse son, but I can’t have A sleep in the paint fumes.
I’m sure you get it. I cannot tell her to share the guest” Before Emmy could finish talking, A
interrupted her Grandmother asking her not to.
She wanted to talk to me in private so I agreed. Wondering if she was going to pull back again.
Even in the few days we had spoken to each other she already had done that enough to make me
worry. Now I could feel how nervous she was, I wish I knew what was going on through her mind.
All I should have been sensing throughout the matebound this first few weeks should be joy and
love.

“First off, I just got so excited about the bookshelves and all the pretty little knicknacks and lights.
But spending the day with you today is not about the fact you bought me a sh it ton of stuff. I mean
it, I want to know if you even considered the possibility it was all about the money” She told me and
I hated she doubted my intentions, or what I would think about hers.
It was still a step up from her just pulling back so I did all I could to reassure her. Telling her, I never
thought about the mary worth of what I bought her. I just wanted to make her happy, so I could
prove being a good mate to her. How she didn’t ask for anything, that I remember that I almost had
to beg her. With a legally binding contract, she would pay me back. I was still listing off all the
reasons as to why I would never think such a thing about her when she smiled at me. Interrupting
me.
“Good then you understand that doesn’t mean a lot, and there will be no funny business not even
some innocent spooning. But if you want we can sleep in the guest room together it is a king bed so
it wouldn’t be too cramped. I know you wanted more from this matebound than I am ready for.
Sleeping next to your mate is supposed to give you the best sleep of your life so let’s. Let’s sleep
together I mean sleeping in the same room without any expectations.” Her cheeks blushed a bright
red and halfway through her little speech, she started to mumble.
She shouldn’t have, I would love nothing more than to just spend the night sleeping in the same
room as her. An air mattress would be enough. There was just one little problem how on earth was I
supposed to sleep next to her and not cuddle her? And she made it sound like she would have
preferred me to not sleep next to her. Like it was a sacrifice she made as a thank you for all that I
had got her. Finding your mate shouldn’t be this hard, this was the first time since I had found out
about A that I questioned if it all was really worth it.
If just picking a randomly chosen mate based on her looks and the little

bit of background knowledge I had about her and her pack. Then I remember how she had looked
in the sea of fit, tall, slender she-wolves at the ball. Who had all seemed so naturally at ease in their
ballgowns. Most of which were designed to show a fair bit of skin. While being obvious about it. She
had grabbed my attention even before I smelled her. Dillion loving her had spoken volumes. So

she was my fated mate I had been ted. Now I was about to mess it all up by questioning if this
was all worth it. It was because it was A and I already knew she was worth it all.
“Only if you are fully, one-hundred percent sure you would like me too. If you are just doing this for
me. As some kind of thank you then I won’t” I told her holding her hands in mine.
Because A she seemed to like it very much and B it was an excuse for me to touch her.
And I would take any excuse I could to do so. After we went back in A told her grandparents that
we would just sleep in the guest bedroom together if they wouldn’t mind. Since they were just
excited things were settled soon so the three of us made our way upstairs to give the shelves a first
coat of paint. When we finished Nic just drank onest beer with us. Eager to go home to see his
mate, and I could not help but wonder if I would ever get to the point with A. Would I ever be able
to go home to her? Would she ever mindlink me out of the blue telling me she missed me? Just like
Nic’s mate had done right before he went home. Hell as of now I didn’t even know when I was going
to see her again after going back to the castle when the weekend was over. I pushed the idea to the
back of my mind. Tomorrow I would talk to her, and see if we cane up with a solution where we
still get to see each other on a regr basis. Without making it feel like too much for her. I was
worried it might cause us to get into an argument.

Or more likely for A to feel insecure again so for tonight I just let it go. I was about to watch a
movie in bed with my wonderful, beautiful, funny mate and then fall asleep in the same bed as her.
There was nothing I was going to do to risk that.

When I woke up the next morning I was still on my side of the bed. Unsurprisingly, I had been
feeling so anxious about making the wrong move that my b*dy had felt a bit stiff. All the tension from
not wanting to make the wrong move. Keeping myself from snuggling into her in my sleep had
made my b*dy feel sore. It was all worth it though because my beautiful Queen had not done what
she said we would do. No, she was snuggled all up to me, her head on my chest and one arm
around my waist. Her scent surrounding me was overwhelming, Conan was singing in my head
about our mate cuddling us. And I was just overjoyed. She did feel it too, she was drawn to me as
much as I was drawn to her and it felt amazing. With my heart overflowing with happiness I bent
down a little bit and k*ssed her on the top of her head, thumbs brushing over the corbone I hoped
would soon have my name carved into. Whispering sweet nothings in her ear. Only when I felt her
b*dy stiffen and he breath quickening I realized just how much I had messed up.
