Chapter 41
Griffin 41′
“Hey, Darling, I am back,” I tell A trying to sound calm.
Still, I pull her closer staking a im on her, one I hope I still have. There was nothing to worry
about because her smile was so bright when she introduced me to the wolf she was hugging. Her
cousin Jay, that is why she was so happy. He is a member of her family and she introduces me as
her mate. He had taken the year off to travel the packs to go and find his mate. He would be an
Alpha too. His mother A’s aunt was the pack’s Luna. Dad was right the Hemmings dide from
a long line of Alpha Luna’s and other high ranks.
“Well, I figured as much, don’t worry Alpha I love A but not like that” He chuckles.
I’m relieved he did not get annoyed when I was so possessive towards my mate. A didn’t seem
to notice. Which was good as I decided not to tell her about my behavior and why. I didn’t want to
make her feel like I was pressuring her. Even if she didn’t think I was, she probably would feel
pressured regardless. Now that I know what was causing it I felt more able to handle it. Wanting to
make a good impression on yet another family member of A I told Jay, he would always be
wee as my guest. If he wanted to visit our pack after tonight. After all, even with this ball, he
would never get to meet all of the unmated wolves. He smiled, and when we exchanged phone
numbers, I could see how happy this made A. Jay left us to mingle with his friends, and A
wanted to dance with me. A sweet simple slow dance, we chatted about small things, nothing too
big. She thanked me for helping out her cousin, exining she had missed him dearly. I loved it and
it was so much better than getting scolded by her. No matter how right she was, or how much I
needed it. Now it was just me
enjoying spending time with my beautiful mate. Who for some reason
O
had suddenly stopped fighting the pull between us. Tonight was
perfect and for a second I feared it was too good to be true. Everything. about today had been
perfect, she would sleep her and then we had another full day ahead of us.
We needed to make some more rounds after dancing. This was the part I hated the most, there
were some good people out there. And I enjoyed talking to a fair few of them, still, the majority of
them were just trying to k*ss a*s. Wanting me or my family members to favor them over the others.
Hoping that if we were close our judgment considering disputes between packs would cause us to
decide in their favor. Most of the pack leaders we did consider friends or had personal alliances.
with. Were the packs would never instigate fights between packs. And if they would we still would
make a fair judgement. That’s what our responsibility as royalty was. A didn’t leave my side, so
that would make it infinitely better.
Turns out she was much better at this socializing than I was. She smiled and made small talk with
all of them. She didn’t seem the least bit bothered with the people sucking up. Without entertaining
them too much. Still, she managed to let them down so gently that they practically were grateful for
it. Every now and then she would tug on her earlobe, it fascinated me. Just as how everything about
her fascinated me. That’s how I noticed that the a*s-k*ssing did get to her. Every time a wolf would
be too obvious she would tug her earlobe, and bite her l*p before smiling at our conversational
partner. Knowing she hated this too, but was just better skilled at hiding it made me so happy. Every
day we spent together I found out more things we had inmon. Not to mention the fact that
seeing how well she does in her role as future Queen made me incredibly proud. Proud and scared,
I was falling so hard for her. And the one thing I still couldn’t be sure about was if she was falling for
me too.
“You are stunning Princess A, I would say Prince Griffin is lucky to have found you. Then again
you found yourself such a strong and kind
mate. As a nation, we are happy to have him as a future ruler. So I will just say you are both lucky to
have found each other.” Luna Cherise preened at A.
There was an ear tug, a l*p bite, and then a smile, a smile that wasn’t as bright as a few of the
smiles I caused.
“No, I think you got it right the first time Luna Cherise. I am the one that is lucky to have found A.
As much as I want to thank you for yourpliments. All I am is a fair ruler every pack deserves as
much.” I say, wrapping my arm around A’s waist without thinking about it.
She doesn’t move away as she tells Luna Cherise that she is lucky to have found a mate like me.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
I’m not sure if she means it or if she is just saying it because it is what you are supposed to say: I
chose to believe it is thetter option. Just to protect myself from the heartbreak if this is indeed just
the right thing to say. Not something she actually feels, I know we still have a long road ahead of us.
I know I worship the ground that she walks on. And would be willing to give up almost everything to
be with her. There is nothing I won’t do to make sure that in the six months, she has given me to try
and win her over, she will truly feel blessed to have me as her mate.
Luna Cherise gets our not-so-subtle hints and after a few more minutes of chit-chatting, she
excuses herself to go and find her mate. Which suits me perfectly I need a drink and by the looks of
it so does my wonderful mate. When I suggested walking over to the bar she just took my arm again
without saying anything. Does she even realize how good it makes me feel when she does? How I
am on cloud nine to walk anywhere with her on my arm. Having everyone present see, that we
belong together. Since Dillion and Collin are at the bar we decide to join them.
“Good to see you again Firecracker, did you give anyone else a
50 93%
headachetely” Dillion chuckles.
I fight the urge to snap at him for giving my mate a nickname. If I am being honest, and do not let
my possessiveness cloud my judgment. I should be happy about this, my best friend clearly adores
my mate. Something I have always wanted, as my mate even with her not having epted me she
is higher ranking than Dillion. She could easily demand for him to call her Princess or future Luna.
Even forbid him to use a silly nickname but she doesn’t she always just smiles at him when he calls
her Firecracker. It speaks volumes of how she is as a person. That is what makes me worried about
theck of her smile. now. Collin is as confused about the headache remark as I am. Dillion looks at
A with a warm smile, renewed respect shining in his eyes.
“Griff,” A starts.
There is that pet name again, shortening my name. It feels wonderful, to hear a pet name for me
rolling off her l*ps sends shivers down my spine. Almost leaving her nervous tone go unnoticed.
“I promise I wanted to tell you, but when you walked up to me and Jay you already looked stressed.
I figured it had to do with your father scolding you for the thing with Alpha Rob.” She continues.
So she did notice I was stressed but chu**ed it up to something else. And she clearly wanted to
protect me from something. Whatever it was I would be understanding, and make her feel she could
always tell me everything on her terms.
“Just tell me, darling, I am sure you did the right thing” I reassure her.
“Well after chatting with your mother, I went to get a bit of fresh air on the balcony. Alpha Rob came
up to me. He suggested you were not worthy of me as he deemed you a hothead. He then offered
me to show what mating with a real Alpha would feel like” A wasn’t done talking yet.

But I had a hard time focusing on her, all I wanted to do was find Alpha Rob and tear his throat out.
How dare he suggest using my gorgeous pure mate to cheat on his? Like our mates were pieces of
meat to be swapped around.
