    I woke up feeling more refreshed than I ever had. Which was weird since I was not sleeping in my


    bed. It took me a while to realize why I had slept like a baby. And only because Griffin k*ssed my


    head. Telling me how happy he was I finally gave him a chance. But what got to me was him telling


    me he would never let me go. I tensed up because I wasn’t sure if I should say something about it


    or not. It could be just the cute couply things people said. It could also very well be that as an Alpha


    as the Crown Prince. He was willing to go back on his promise to force me to ept him as my


    mate. I convinced myself he would never do that he has already made too much of an effort. He had


    to feel me stiffen, and so I awkwardly shifted back so I could face him instead of being cuddled up to


    him. I brushed the corners of my mouth to try and check I had not drooled on him. It would be the


    only thing that was worse than sleeping on him after telling him we couldn’t even spoon. Sleeping


    on him and drooling on his chest.


    His rockhard chest, because boy this man was muscr even for a werewolf. I should have said


    something when he came to bed dressed in just a pair of low-hanging pajama pants. But what was I


    going to say, I pride myself on being independent to the extent I actually want to build a life without


    a mate in it. Only to tell my mate he is so good- looking he needs to sleep fully dressed. So I can


    control my hormones? No, I wasn’t about to. I dressed in a baggy shirt and a pair of sweatpants. It


    didn’t make him reconsider his outfit to sleep in. Come to think of it, it didn’t stop him from keeping


    his eyes on me all the time. Like he was drinking in the sight of me.


    “Are you okay, I am sorry if I went too far. It’s just waking up next to you made me so happy.


    Especially since I don’t really know when we will see each other again.” He apologized.

    Sh it. I never considered it because the day sorta got away from us. Of course, he came over to try


    and work things out between the two of us. And since I had decided to give him a chance he was


    bound to want to take the chance and try to see me as often as possible. As much as I was trying to


    convince myself I wasn’t feeling anything yet. But I was and I kinda did not want to leave our little


    bubble in my Grandparents bedroom.


    “Maybe we should talk about it then,e up with a n?” I suggested.


    Again Griffin’s face split open in a wide grin. If this man was nning on being so charming every


    day. I was bound to give in long before the six months were over. That idea scared me to the very


    core of my being. I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that something was wrong with me. That David and


    the others were right about the fact that I was not suitable to be a Luna. Griffin was cute and all to


    say he wanted an equal partner. But he knew nothing about me. And no matter how you spun the


    story about me and David. Our paring had been a mistake, if not he wouldn’t have rejected me.


    Maybe I needed to talk to Lina about this. She had been so helpful about the second chance mate


    thing. I was sure she had more information about rejections too.


    “A, darling, did you hear what I said” Griffin’s voice snapped me back to reality.


    A reality where I managed to make myself look like a fool in front of my mate. Who I might or might


    not ept. There was no way I could lie to him and answer a question he had asked me without


    knowing what the question was. Especially not with things being a bit rocky between us. As we both


    wanted fastly different things at this moment. I admitted to zoning out and luckily enough he just


    chuckled at me.


    “I suggested we would only meet on the weekends. It’s a four-hour drive. I can probably manage to


    get the Fridays off early. But I totally understand that you might not be able to with your new job and


    all.

    Honestly, I wouldn’t mind being the one to drive up here all the time. Or most of the time but my


    parents are dying to meet you. They know about our situation so no pressure.” He told me


    It was fair his family wanted to meet me too. My family had met him, or most of them had and they


    all love him. When he exined his younger cousin was about to turn 18 next Sunday. I knew what


    wasing and it did make me feel a bit pressured. It would mean I either go over there, meet his


    parents, and attend that party after. Or not see him for two weeks. Something I would be fine with


    but it would hurt him. It would also reflect poorly on him. And I had a solid excuse, so I tried not to


    worry about that too much.


    “I would havee to you next weekend if I could. But I don’t have a car and I have no means of


    flying there. Which poses a bit of a problem.” I told him in all honesty, figuring he would be


    disappointed but understanding.


    Seeing him beam at me like I just made him the happiest wolf on earth. Thoroughly confused me.


    Because for a moment I forgot who he was. Everyone knew the royal family had a private ne.


    One they did not need very often, especially not when there was a party in their own pack. Griffin


    didn’t say so but he promised he would make sure I would be there in time. After telling me he


    wouldn’t be able to pick me up some of his staff members would. I figured out that was the only


    thing he could mean. With me telling him myck of a means to get there was the only reason


    holding me back from being there. Suddenly I epted an invitation to the castle. To a royal party, I


    might as well agree to see each other every weekend. Committing to giving him a chance to prove


    himself to me and all that.


    There was nothing wrong with this conversation. It had been pleasant andzy which I loved. Still


    the sudden realization of who he was, to the kind of life he led, and my ce in it if his wish came


    through. It burst the bubble we were in, not wanting to end this weekend on a

    sour note. I feigned being hungry and eager to get started with painting. Being the sweetheart he


    was Griffin agreed and got dressed quickly. He was about to peck me on the cheek before sl*pping


    out so I could dress in private. Things like that happened a lot in the past 24 hours. Times when he


    was about to reach out to me. Only to stop himself. Leaving me to wonder how long he would be


    willing or able to keep restraining himself from touching his mate.


    Even with all my doubts and insecurities, I felt it too. That need to reach out to him, to touch him.


    Just something simple like a hug or holding his hand for a bit would be enough. Unlike me, Griffin


    wasn’t trying to fight the matebond. So for him, it would no doubt be worse. That need would be so


    much more intense for him. That was another thing I needed to push back to the back of my mind


    though. Trying not to stress out too much about everything I hurried to get dressed in just a pair of


    jeans and a knit sweater my grandmother had made me. To find out Griffin had been standing


    outside of the door all this time to walk to the kitchen with me. Hopefully, Jessa will be able to talk to


    me tonight when he is home. Hopefully, her being on a mate-moon wouldn’t stop her from


    FaceTiming with me. Because I desperately needed someone to vent to and some advice on what


    to do. For now, I was just going to make the best of today. I would just consider him a friend today


    and treat him as such. After all Uncle Nic would be here too. And what could go wrong with two
