Chapter 54
Griffin 54′
I knew why Mom wanted to speak to A, and I was happy for her. Training with my mom would be
a good thing. And I hoped it would show her just how much my family loved her. Even if I did wish,
she didn’t just barge in like this. She is just as impatient as I am, but being on the receiving end of it
wasn’t great this time. And I was a little nervous to hear what A thought about all of this. She has
been doing a lot better with epting what we have and epting my parents and most of my
packmembers see that too. Honestly, the very few people who have something negative to say
about her dislike that she is waiting so long, keeping me at a distance for a bit. I’ve been telling
everyone that we are the ones to set the pace of our rtionship. That helped stop the gossiping,
as does the fact she officially epted me now. And soon they will see that my personal living room
has been redecorated as our living room.
Well if she likes
idea of going to a furniture store to get some new stuff anyway. The first weekend she was here she
commented on my couch, and if we rece those most of the other stuff would not suit the new
couch. I’ve never spent a lot of time in my living room, so back then having a sleek modern modern-
looking room was all I needed. It looked good when I had friends over. Now all I want is to have a
comfortable room where I can spend time with my mate. Hanging around in my bed with her was
great but now we have taken the next step in our rtionship I think that just spending time in bed
would get too tempting. But most of all I felt like a room where you can live as a couple, maybe
even a family down the line was a sign of maturity. Something that fits me now, a room to reflect that
I am a mated wolf. Ready to start a life with the woman I love.
That’s exactly what I tell her when shees back to the room. Asking me why I am dressed like
we have to be somewhere. For a second

something shes over her face, regret or uncertainty. As I brace myself for the rejection of my
ns she shakes it off and gives me a mega-watt smile.
“Sure, let’s do it I’ll show you we can have a beautiful living room without it being overly modern and
impractical” She happily agrees.
As soon as she tells me it is OUR room I no longer care about the look on her face just now.
Whatever it was she didn’t mean it. Her excitement is genuine and she sees this room as ours too.
It is all I ever wanted, it’s another thing that is giving me hope. She has been giving me so much
hopetely that I have already started looking at jewelry to gift her after weplete the mating
process. As is custom for members of the royal family. I’m still not in a rush, but seeing as it took
only two weeks of dating to get her to ept me. It is clear she feels the matebond too. It’s the only
exnation for falling so hard and so fast for someone.

We spend the entire day shopping for furniture and while it has been a lot of fun. Especially since
we told all the humans working at the shops we were a couple moving in together. Causing them all
to congratte us. But it had worn me down, I was happy to walk back into the castle nning to
order some food from the kitchen. Crawl in bed with A to eat there and then we would spend our
night as we loved to most. With her reading leaning against my shoulder as I was gaming. My
gamer friends had already texted me about another. campaign they would start tonight asking me to
join them. But when we walked inside we were greeted by a ser vant. Letting the two of us know my
parents invited us for dinner at their ce. Just them and us, a little family get-together. The same
weird look shed over her face. and it had me a little worried now. But she was the one to tell me
we should go.
“Your parents want to get to know me better Griff, and I think that’s
|||
only fair. Let’s go freshen up and then we can go there” She was right, of course she was so I told
the serv ant to let them know we epted the invitation and then we made our way back to our
chambers.
“Why didn’t you just mindlink them?” A asked the second the serv ant walked off.
So I exined to her that would make it a bit awkward for the se rvant. Who then had to walk off to
either help my parents prepare for the dinner or to retire for the night. She agreed that in cases like
this, it was better to just let the serv ant tell my parents. As she was going to go there regardless.
She told me to go shower first as she needed to pick out something to wear. I did but I was hoping
she would join me in the shower as she was done picking out an outfit but she never did. And when
I got out she was waiting for me at the end of the bed, doing something on her phone. I know it was
a little silly we didn’t have to be together all the time. We could just shower separately and most
likely it would have made uste if she had gotten in the shower with me. It just felt like something
was a little off, and all I could do was wait hoping that it was just her nerves for going to have dinner
with my parents. As official mates for the first time, I know she still struggled with it a little bit. She
might have been able to ept me. And she did beyond good with the things expected of the
prince’s mate like the sudden photoshoot yesterday. But all the trauma and the hurt she has gone
through weren’t just about to disappear. I would need to love her until she believed it with every
fiber of her being. Not that would stop loving her after that.

At the start of the dinner, she was a little quiet and it reassured me the only thing that was going on
was her nerves. The more we ate, the more we chatted and the more weughed, the more rxed
she got. I could see her visibly rx her b*dy going softer not as uptight and rigid as she was for the
first minutes. When dinner was ready she

insisted on helping my mother clear the table and clean up the kitchen. I always loved that Mom and
Dad hardly had serv ants clean their personal quarters. As a kid it always made me feel more
normal. Sitting at the kitchen table seeing one of my parents cook or clean the kitchen, doing the
dishes always felt homely. It wouldn’t have been a big dealbreaker if A had wanted to take more
advantage of the fact we did have serva nts. Still seeing our wishes aligning for yet another thing,
something that would severely shape the lives of our pups made me smile.
“Boy, you’re smitten your face tells an entire story” Dad chuckled at me. I could tell he liked it.
I had no other choice but to agree with him, because I was smitten with her. He was happy for me,Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
especially since he could see the change in A too. He was convinced she was just as smitteri
with me. I didn’t know if that was true, I felt like she wasn’t exactly there yet but this was the one
thing I could be patient about. Mostly because I wanted her happy, and I was a little simp for my
mate ording to Dillion. He stated he was a simp for Collin so he could tell.
When we are back in our bedroom however the mood shifts again, A looks even more nervous
than she was before dinner and it’s making me worry. Even more so when she tells me to sit down
because we need to talk.
“I hope this doesn’t change how you feel about me Griff, and maybe I should have told you before.
But I was just trying to find the best way to tell you something like this. Please promise me not to get
mad or do anything. Not until you hear the full story okay?”
Her words do not soothe me at all, I just give her a tight nod with my jaw clenching and then she
begins to speak
