Chapter 42
This was exactly why I wanted to tell Griffin about Alpha Rob in the privacy of his bedroom. Dillion
didn’t mean any harm and I knew he didn’t. Even if it was a little weird he did not know how
possessive Griffin would be. Maybe because he had never seen Grif, around his mate before
he was unaware. Whatever the reason was I now had to deal with an angry mate, his iris rimmed
with a lighter color. Showing Conan was more than willing to take over and tear Alpha Rob a new
one.
“Your royal highness you should listen to your mate first” While he was using Griffin’s title to show
submission, Dillion’s voice was. cl*pped.
He seemed to be agitated too, but he at least got Griffin to focus on me again.
“Sorry, Darling go on,” he said through gritted teeth.
“I get it Grif, I got so upset too when he dismissed you as a mate. I know what we have is still fragile
mostly because of me. Still, I wasn’t about to let him get away with insulting you. But with your
father being pi*sed at you for causing a scene I wanted to do better” As I was talking Griffin’s anger
seemed to melt away, if I wouldn’t know better I would say he looked happy.
It gave me the strength to go on with my story. Me calling Alpha Rob out onmitting treason
meant I regarded myself as royalty too. Technically it would be treason even before I was royalty
since Grif was. But only members of the royal family were entitled to im an act was indeed an act
of treason, let alone warrant someone’s arrest. So I took a deepbreath and continued.

“So I told him what he said was treason and I gave him a choice, he would either go home faking a
headache”
“Like he says she-wolf do when they are unwilling to mate” Collin piped up, interrupting me.
He clearly enjoyed the fact I put Alpha Rob in his ce too. All three menughed, it was obvious
that Alpha Rob did not have a lot of friends here.
“Something like that yeah. His other option was for me to have him arrested for treason, where I
would publicly announce what he has done for me to consider it treason. Meaning his mate would
know he has wanted to cheat on her” I finished exining what happened. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
Dillion filled Griffin in on how Alpha Rob seemed unwilling to just walk off and how that made him
step in. Telling me there was someone who missed me, which wasn’t a lie but how he left it vague
on purpose. To create the illusion that it was Griffin who was about to rejoin me. And that it was the
last straw for Alpha Rob to leave the ball, his proverbial tail tucked between his legs.
“Oh and get this, he is not allowed to address you with anything other than My Lord, or My King isn’t
that so Firecracker” This was the first time Griffin didn’t bristle when Dillion called me Firecracker.
I didn’t mind the nickname at all. It was sort of ttering she-wolf or not. I never wanted to be
perceived as a weak girl. Especially since I had some physical shorings for a she-wolf. Before I
knew what was happening my feet left the floor.
Griffin lifted me from the floor spinning me around with an awestruck look on his face. “Da*n, you’re
perfect darling, I just wish I could have seen his face” He pecked my l*ps before cing me back on
the solid floor again.

This whole interaction, left me feeling giddy, sparks of the matebond shooting up through my arms
and spreading through my entire b*dy. Leaving me to wonder how long I could let my hurt and my
past fight the matebond. Griffin wasn’t perfect just as I wasn’t perfect either. That didn’t mean we
couldn’t be perfect together. And more and more I was getting convinced that if we tried hard
enough we could be perfect together.
Two hourster the party had winded down enough for me and Griffin to retire to his chambers
without it looking weird. Or being inappropriate, it was 1 AM now so he would probably just want to
crawl in bed and fall asleep. I was way too wired from the party, I do well in social interactions. I love
being social but I prefer casual events so balls and other fancy parties have always drained me a
bit. My usual solution was to get a. snack and read some while munching on the food.
“Are you tired yet?” Griffin asked me rubbing the back of his neck like he was embarrassed about
what he was going to ask me.
“Well, no I usually wind down with a snack and a good book but if you want to go to sleep we can” I
shrugged, expecting him to want to just.
turn in.
The look of relief on his face was the first indication that I was wrong about what he wanted.
“Thank the Moo***ddes I usually spend an hour or so gaming after events like this. Just to feel like
myself a little bit. You can shower first I’ll order us food and then we can have a repeat of this
afternoon?” He beamed at me.
This wasn’t something he did for me, or to try and win me over. It was something he wanted to do.
So the fact that it was exactly what I

needed made it feel even better. Smiling I made my way over to the bathroom. Where I showered
and got dressed in my usual sleepwear. A tank top and shorts, the first nights we spent together I
went to bed fully dressed. Scared that if I showed too much skin he would want more than I was
able to give yet. By now I knew better Griffin is a perfect gentleman. He would never force me to do
something I was not ready for. As I stepped back into the bedroom I was hit with the smell of tacos
making my stomach rumble. That first day we discussed how we both loved Mexican food. I didn’t
have the heart to tell him I couldn’t cat tacos while reading. The grease and sauce would stain the
pages of my book. I wouldn’t do that with any of my books but the thought of getting a stain on my
first edition of Pride and Prejudice filled me with fear.
When he was showering I ate a taco moaning at how vorful it was. Then I got out of bed again,
washed my hands, and snuggled back into the covers. It was a little chilly now but I had noticed the
man that wouldy next to me in a few minutes was an actual furnish.
“Couldn’t wait for me to get started on the tacos? Well, I don’t me you” Grif teased me as he
came back into the bedroom.
Wearing another low-riding pajama pants, the sight of it made me drool more than the smell of tacos
was. At a loss for words both because of how attractive he was and my unwillingness to tell him he
chose the wrong snacks I just smiled at him and went back to reading. It wasn’t long before he
noticed I wasn’t eating the tacos. Just as I was about to tell him I just wasn’t hungry my stomach
rumbled. So that excuse was out of the window, embarrassed, I confessed why I couldn’t eat the
tacos.
“Oh, silly I can fix that for you” And then picked up a taco and held it in front of my face.
Making sure the taco was not above my book. Laughing I took a bite

this was the sweetest thing everyone has ever done for me. Like this, I managed to eat two more
tacos. He would pause the game every time he sensed I wanted a bit and halfway through the
second one my shyness was gone. Now I would just ask him for a bit.
When we finally both were tired enough to turn down the lights and go to bed, I knew I made a huge
mistake. One that I needed to correct. first thing in the morning before I would leave to go home.
This was something he deserved to hear face to face. He has done too much for me for this to be
over text or just noticing the change in my behavior gradually until he could draw his own
conclusion. But I just wanted to enjoy tonight so I kept my mouth shut and only asked him to spoon
me this night. His arms wrapped around me and his nose buried in the crook of my neck as his
silent answer and that is how we ended up
falling asleep.
