Chapter 46
A 46
“You will treat my daughter-inw, with the same respect as you do every other member of the royal
family” I had never seen King Rodrick this angry, not even when he scolded Griffin.
Still, hearing him defend me felt nice. The She-wolf that snapped at me sat down eyes cast down.
King Rodrick and Queen Isabe sat down next to us. After that little hup, we had a nice peaceful
breakfast. Most of the pack members seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me better,
and they were all very kind. The rest of the day went as nned, after breakfast we returned to his
room where he spent almost two hours gaming with me reading next to him. To most that would be
boring, but I actually love spending my days like this.
“Ready for a run, darling, maybe we can give Willow and Conan control” Griff suggests after
shutting off his gaming console. Giving our wolves control was a bit nerve-wracking. Our wolves rely
on their instincts more and are quicker to give in to their impulses. However when you have a good
bond with your wolf. They would never go against explicit wishes. And both wolves were probably
feeling deprived of their mate. In the end, I agreed, and we ventured deeper into the woods
surrounding the castle. Unlike the White Oak and BloodMoon pack, there was a huge clearing with
some hollow tree trunks to put your clothes in. Most wolves would be impressed at how well thought
out this all was.
That’s because most wolves do not care about hiding their n*ked b*dy. Before the attacks before the
scars. I wasn’t either. Now my stomach dropped seeing how visible I would be if I undressed to
shift. As if reading my mind Griffin walked up to me wrapping his arms around me from behind.

“I saw youpletely n*ked, darling, I washed you. Do I need to
remind you what we ended up doing how excited that made me?” He whispered in my ear, the
stubble of his chin scratching the sensitive skin of my neck.
Feeling from the way my cheeks heated up, from how flushed I felt I was bright red. And could
almost serve as a beacon. The thing is he wasn’t lying, both times in the heat of the moment I forgot
all about my insecurities. Now I was no longer fighting for my survival every day my scars were
slowly healing. But they were still there and Griffin never seemed to have a problem with it.
“Thanks, Griff, I was a little nervous but you are right” I turned around still in his embrace, and
pecked him on the l*ps.
His hand fisted my hair as he pulled me closer the second I tried to pull away. Pulling me close
again and answering my chaste sweet peck with another k*ss. One that was rough and passionate
and swept me off my feet both literally and figuratively. He had the habit of wrapping one arm
around me and then lifting me off the floor as we k*ssed. If you had told me my mate would do that
before I would haveughed. in your face. It would have been enough to reject someone in my
mind. At least after what my old pack had done. Now I relished the fact that I could forget everything
as we k*ssed. I didn’t even have to stand on my own two feet. All I had to do was hold on to Griffin
and enjoy k*ssing him. And I did, because every time he k*ssed me my heart would beat out of my
chest. I would feel dizzy with happiness.
“You were holding back a lot when you didn’t touch me weren’t you” I smirked when Griffin finally let
go of me.
Smacking my ass he told me I had no idea how much. We made quick work out of getting
undressed so we could shift. There were benefits to undressing in in sight with my handsome
made. I could have tried to stop myself from sneaking a peak even if I wanted to. Which I didn’ t,
after all, he was my mate I epted him. He was all mine to stare at.

Realizing he was all mine was weird, it made me incredibly proud on the one hand, and on the other
hand, I felt possessive. Like I would fight every other she-wolf that would have the nerve to flirt with
him. Shaking my head I shifted, giving up control to Willow.
When we are in control our wolves can still feel what we are feeling. They will see, taste, and hear
everything. The only difference is that they are not in control of how we respond. When we give
control to our wolves it is the other way around. So now I felt the overwhelming joy I felt when
Willow saw her mate again. Willow had always been a yful wolf because I refused toplete
the mating process they could not speak yet. Both I and Willow would only be able to mindlink
Griffin and Conan after wepleted the mating process. If Griffin would leave me now I would be
heartbroken, but the pain of your mate betraying you after you’ve mated. After you’re carrying each
other’s mark is unlike any other pain you will ever feel. My heart, and my fears won from logic, I
knew Griffin wouldn’t be this patient. Wouldn’t invest this much time and money in me to be a shit
mate. I had seen him cry when he figured he was minutes away from being rejected. My worries
and my inability to fully trust him. Causing Willow and Conan unable tomunicate. Made me feel
incredibly guilty, and it made the normally yful Willow sad and quiet.
Just like Griffin, Conan seemed to know exactly what Willow needed. He teased her as we were
running. Bumping into her, softly pulling her tail. He didn’t need words tomunicate with her.
Soon Willow was back to her happy self, teasing Conan as he had been teasing her. They looked
like two pups ying out in the woods for the first time. They ran for a full hour when Conan came
to a sudden stop. Communicating was still hard but Willow seemed to pick up on the fact that he
wanted her to follow him.
“I think we should just follow him, Willow.” I told her, like how she would often be the voice in the
back of my mind.
Helping me with what I should do, she nodded. I was unsure if it was

for me, Conan, or the both of us. But it was clear what she meant. Conan jumped up when she
nodded, immediately reassuring me that he didn’t notice anything off. That mindset of needing to be
on edge every time I went for a run was something that will stay with me for a long time. Two years
of getting attacked almost daily will do that to you. Willow was in the same boat as me, through our
bond I could feel her nerves, I could feel how fast our heart was beating. And the sense of relief she
felt was the first thing I noticed after Conan had stopped walking. He had brought Willow to a creek
in the middle of the forest. He runs into theke water, barking at her. Obviously wanting her to
come in as well. And she did she made a run for and ran into the creek. I lost all track of time as the
two of them yed and sshed around in the creek. By the time they made their way back to the
clearing where we left our clothes, the sun had started to set already.

When it was time for dinner, Griffin to me out to dinner at a
steakhouse on pack grounds. The food was perfect, and it wasn’t too. fancy.
I was a little worried we would run into more pack members who didn’ t like how slow I was in
choosing Griffin. In epting him as my mate. We haven’t told anyone I epted him as my mate
yet. We wanted to tell our families first and we didn’t think at the breakfast table this morning was
the right ce. Not with all the other wolves around us. But to my relief, everyone was as kind as
during the breakfast. With the small exception that they didn’t interrupt our date. Everyone would
nod or greet us in passing, and the servers were very kind. I love the privacy though, it was fun
getting to know the pack a little better. To the point where it made me realize that most of our visits
should be here because if this is to be my new pack I should get to know them. better.

most of the weekends? You know get a feeling for the pack, get to know its members better. If I am
supposed to live here at the end of the six months? I asked, expecting to see his face light up like it
usually did whenever I do something small he likes.
But that bright smile never came, he looked a bit conflicted, making me wonder if I had done
something wrong.
