Chapter 50
Griffin 50
I couldn’t sleepst night, Conan seemed to be on edge the entire time. I figured he was going
crazy from missing our mate. Missing her now I knew she epted me as her mate. Now that the
matebond was getting stronger every time we saw each other. Was horrible even worse than it had
been before. Thank the MoonGo ddess she will be home tomorrow.
I stopped in my tracks as I realized I had thought of my pack, my castle, my chambers as her home.
But honestly, as far as I was concerned it was. Maybe I could convince her to go shopping with me
so that she would have some of her clothes here. She only left the dress. for Krystel’s party here.
Having more of her clothes here would not only be convenient, it would be another confirmation that
we are doing great. Plus it would help keep her sent her presence here when she left to go to her
home. The first two or three days the bedding still smelled like her. But her scent faded too soon,
and I figured she would appreciate clean bedding so I would have the sheets washed and made.
tomorrow morning.
By now I was done tossing and turning to get some sleep and wanted to do something special for
A. I could have ordered her a bouquet and had it sent to her. But that was way too generic.
Besides the flowers wouldst for about a week and she would be gone 3 out of the 7 days.
Suddenly I remembered how me finishing the batch of Snickerdoodle cookies I was making
somehow stopped her from rejecting me. A trick her Grandpa told me about as it had worked for
him when he tried to please or make up with his mate. I knew A would appreciate the sentiment,
so after researching an express werewolf courier I got to work. Gerald walked in as I was making
the cookies.

He just got home, he and Jessa were supposed to go to bed for a few more hours. Gerald still had
the day off, and since Jessa wanted to be a homemaker they no longer wanted to live in the castle.
Some of the higher-ranking members of the pack had their own rooms here. They would all have a
living room with an open kitchen, three average bedrooms, and a bathroom. Gerald and Jessa were
nning on having a lot of pups. He told me he wanted a nice cottage with at least 5 bedrooms.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
They would go househunting on packground today. Luckilyrge homes with a lot of bedrooms
weren’t umon in the werewolfmunity. Most of us loved big families as it was like a pack
within a pack.
I know Mom and Dad would have loved to have more children. Sadly she was unable to. I loved the
fact that the pack never looked down on a Luna that could not bear a lot of pups. Just as I know
they would never judge A for being petite.
“Grillin, did you hear me?”
I had been so lost in my daydream that I hadn’t noticed Gerald talking to me. He asked me if he
could take some of the cookies I was making to Jessa. And if he thought my parents would permit
him to build their own home if he couldn’t find what he wanted. I was sure they would but promised
to put in a good word for him regardless. I was looking forward to going to dinner with them tonight.
I was happy to have Gerald back and excited to properly get to know his mate and A’s best
friend. There was a lot I had to do first though. So I let the cookies cool down enough so they
wouldn’t end up condensing the
Tupperware container leaving them all soggy by the time they got to A. And I got ready for the
day ahead of me. I wanted to make sure I didn’t have any work left to do on the weekend. All so that
I could spend most of my time with my incredible mate.

At the end of the day, I was exhausted, so much so that Mom

expressed her worries. Dad was quick to defend me stating he was the same when he and Mom
just learned they were mates and did not move in together Even if it took them only four weeks to
do so.
“See Dad, get it I can rest when I have A with me again, besides I am done for the night I am
going to dinner with Jessa and Gerald now.” Mom seems a little more at ease after I tell her about
my ns.
When A called me during her lunch break to thank me for the cookies Krystel came over, I asked
her to get some toiletries for A. Giving her my credit card, and telling her to pick out a little
something for herself too had been a mistake. And I do really wonder if A needs all of this.
Krystel justughed when I told her I wasn’t sure. Telling me she didn’t even get make-up because
that is really personal. She got A a Sephora gift card and was hoping to be able to take A and
Jessa out to go shopping this weekend. While I loved that my family loved her so much. And I
wanted A to have close bonds and friendships in the pack that would soon be hers. I disliked the
idea of not spending every minute of our 72 hours together with her. That is why I will n a double
date with her. Jessa, and Gerald on Friday.
That way she can have fun with her best friend and get to know Gerald better. While we are still
spending time together. I never knew I could be this clingy. I just hope it doesn’t put A off

Dinner with Jessa and Gerald started out wonderful, we went to a human diner to have beers and
burgers. At first, we just chatted about our ns for tomorrow night. When Gerald asked how things
were going I was honest. letting him know that things are great. How over the moon I am with the
fact that she decided to ept me as her mate. And that I am willing to take it as slow as she wants
me to.
“I just don’t get why she still can’t trust you, does she not see how much you are doing for her? All
the little things?” Gerald ponders out

loud.
I am not the one who can scold him for doubting my mate. Jessa does and it makes sense she
knows A better than I do. As for now at least I hope that will change in due time.
“David was her childhood best friend, they were thick as thieves. The three of us were but everyone
around us was convinced they would end up as mates with how close they were. Not only did he
publicly reject her, he told her in front of the entire pack. She mistook his pity for a weak wolf like
her” I can see the hurt on her face as Jessa tells us what her best friend, my mate has gone
through.
I ordered another jug of beer, needing to wash away this bitter feeling. I have been so selfish
towards her. In my mind she just got rejected, sure the beatings were rough but it had nothing to do
with the rejection in my mind. Now I learned that David her first mate had told the pack he was done
protecting her. Essentially dering her scot-free to all her bullies and abusers. I was scared I made
her feel bad, as I never realized the gravity of what happened to her. All I wanted to do now was fly
over to the BloodMoon pack and kill David consequences be da
mned. I knew I couldn’t but the only way for me to stop myself was drinking myself senseless. As I
wolf I have a higher tolerance than an average human. Still, the server kept the beersing until
Gerald told me I had a text message. It was A wishing me a good night. Through my drunken
haze, I felt desperate to let her know I would never hurt her. When she told me if I ever made a
mistake I could just tell her. So I swore to her I would never. Jessa asked me not to talk to her about
this, not unless A brought it up herself. She was right, so instead I went home to try and sleep the
buzz off so that I could spend tomorrow preparing something even more special to just show her
how much I loved her. And that she would never had to doubt me.
