Chapter 55
A 55
This weekend with Griflin has flown by, I needed to tell him about. David. I had been trying to find
the perfect moment to tell him the entire weekend. All while he had gone overboard to fill our
weekend with wonderful stuff to do as a couple. Add in his family wanting some of our time. We
would be heading to bed in a few minutes, and I was so exhausted I was sure I could not keep my
eyes open. So I decided to not wait for the perfect moment anymore. He was tense there was a tick
in his jaw that made me want to reach out and caress his cheek. I couldn’t though so I just sat down
next to him.
“David, texted mest weekend just when I got home, some bullshit about missing me,” Griffin
growled, clearly fighting to stay the one in control.
Since he didn’t say anything I just continued exining to him how I ignored David at first
dismissing it as a drunk text. How over the course of the week he had kept texting me. And that the
only reason I did not tell, him about it was that I wanted to tell him in person.
“That’s why you looked guilty a few times when we had ns, you wanted to tell me before,” He
said, like he was just realizing it himself just now.
I nodded not knowing what to say, as it was hard to get a read on him at this moment. In thest two
weeks, we’ve grown so close that I could easily read him. So the fact that he was so closed off now
made me anxious.
“Don’t be naive, Darling, he wants you back. He must regret that he rejected you, I don’t me him
for missing you but he is overstepping” Griffin still wasn’t facing me as he was talking to me.

Even when I ced a hand on his shoulder, he let me. He did not shrug off my hand, but he did not
face me either.
“There would have been an easy solution for this, we could justplete the mating process but of
course, you don’t want that” Grislin was right, David would have to be extremely foolish for him to
pursue. me when I was the Crown prince’s only mate. That didn’t stop his words from feeling like a
p to the face. I jumped up from the bed whirling around to face him. About to cuss him out for
making me feel bad about this. After he did nothing but promise me he would be patient with me.
“Maybe I should have rejected had you back in my ce, since you are already breaking your
promise about being patient with me” Was the only thing I managed to choke out.
Rushing to his closet, the very closet I filled with clothes to keep here. Because I saw a future with
him. I honestly don’t want to go, and my heart is breaking thinking about leaving him behind. What
other option do I have though if he is going to throw my past, my trauma in my face every time
some wolf shows interest in me? Like he hasn’t noticed the stares he has been getting when we go
out anywhere. She- wolves and humans alike. Some guys too, and I get it even for a wolf he is
muscr. Combined with his caramel skin, deep brown eyes, and dark curly hair he was extremely
handsome. Never have I med him. for it though. I knew he would never betray me like that. That
he is too kind, too genuine and he honors the matebond far too much to cheat. Why isn’t he able to
give me that same trust in my loyalty?
Is it because I still not have epted him or because I want to take it slow? But if that’s the reason
why didn’t het tell me then? Why did he tell me, he would be willing to wait for as long as I needed?
Then again, I have seen that jealousy of his before, even when his best friend called me firecracker.
Jealous mates are a thing, jealous Alpha’s even more. To me, it is the most off-putting thing though.

I was going to stand for my partner being overly jealous. I can hardly see what I am doing through
the tears in my eyes. Suddenly Griffin ist right behind me, his voice strained as he tells me.
“Please don’t leave me, Darling, I love you I just need to go for a run to clear my mind please wait
on me” His hand is flexing like he wants to reach out for me but won’t allow himself.
I roll my eyes and I don’t want to give in, but I am too far in, I have fallen too deep for this man. So I
sigh and tell him I will wait for him, not bothering to unpack what clothes I managed to shove into
my bag. Without saying another word I walk into the bathroom to take a shower. Hoping that it willMaterial ? N?velDrama.Org.
clear my mind. Because why would I not.plete the mating process, if I am unable to leave him if
he doesn’t treat me right? I wish I could just talk to Jessa, but if she knows Gerald knows, and if he
knows there is a risk Griffin will know exactly what I am feeling and I can’t deal with that right now.
About an hourter I was lying in bed, scrolling on my phone because I could not focus on my book.
When Griffin walks back in, I can sense he is tired but when he speaks to me his voice isn’t as
strained anymore when thanks me for still being there. He did as he said and took a quick shower
then he just got into bed with me. Spooning me without saying a word.

When we woke up the next morning he seemed too eager to forget it. Apologizing for his behavior.
Something was off, he seemed too quick to bury it. Maybe I should press him more, ask him why he
was so chill about everything now. When only yesterday evening he was raging with jealousy
ming me for what happened because I was the one who wasn’t ready toplete the mating
process. But when I asked where we would go from here. And he just muttered “Forward” into my
ear I was eager to let it go two. Maybe it was just a heat-of-the-

moment reaction, maybe the run did clear his mind. After today we would need to miss each other
for a whole week again. To spend the weekend with all of my family celebrating Kate’s mating. In a
pack, both of us were unfamiliar with.
There was no way I would end our almost weekend with another huge fight. I pushed down every
doubt, every negative thought and I let the joy of the moments we spent together lull me in a sort of
happy trance. We’re good together, or we can be good together when we focus on us. Focus on the
good things, the morals and values we share. I know in my heart that we can be good together with
everything. We just need to find a way tomunicate better..
Still, when I was about to head out I felt sad. I would have to miss him and as much as I tried to
ignore it. Something was off, Griff was sweet and caring, and he had spent half of the day making
lame jokes. It all just seemed a little less, genuine than we normally would. I hoped that showing
Griffin I had blocked David’s number would soothe his mind. So thest thing I did before I got in the
car was show him my phone. And when he k*ssed me thanking me for doing so. It felt like it was
before our fight on Saturday night.

It’s Thursday again and in only twenty-four hours, I get to see Griffin again. Last weekend he
exined that he normally had work on the weekends too. Because he wanted to spend our
weekends together he worked harder during the weekdays. It was extremely sweet and I could
neverin about that. However, it did mean that we had a lot less time to text and FaceTime
and it made me sad. And it made me consider things, pushing me towards making a decision.
When I finished my job I was thinking about what decision to make. I noticed. a familiar car in the
parking lot and my heart ski pped a beat as my stomach dropped to the floor like it was made of
concrete.
