Chapter 70


    riffin 70


    I’m starting to get a headache, A has hardly texted me today. And I know she told me before and


    I know she cannot help it but I miss her. Dillion has been acting weird today, and so has Dillion since


    getting back from picking up Jessa on top of all of that I had the extra work Dad asked me to do.


    Dillion and Gerald had both left to go to their respective offices to get to work. Finally not bothering


    me anymore but now someone was knocking at my door. The second I raised my head I was


    greeted with the overwhelming scent of lc. Could it be? Could it be that A said she wouldn’t be


    able to text me because she wasing here early? There was only one way to find out but I found


    myself eager. Rushing to open the door there she was, like a dreame true. My


    breathtakingly beautiful mate was standing in the doorframe yelling “Surprise”


    I grabbed her hips to lift her and spin her around, and when L was about to put her down on the


    floor she wrapped her arms around my neck-pulling me close to be able to k*ss me. I didn’ t care


    why she was here so much earlier than we agreed on, or how we were k*ssing in the hallway for all


    to see. I didn’t even care for the fact that I had to work now when she was here. All I cared for was


    the fact that she was here with me now.


    “What are you doing here, Darling not that I amining?”


    I asked her when we finally let go of each other.


    “There is some training I have to go over with your mother, and like you said we are going to need


    to make an effort to interact with the pack. With all that I had to do, I got the day


    Griffin 70

    off because I was exhausted so what better way than to sleep in and then spend the day with you?”


    She beamed up at me.


    Knowing her idea of rxing was spending the day with me made me feel ted. Suddenly I


    remember the shitton of work Dad left me with. I can’t even take her out, I hardly have the time to


    show her the surprise in the living room. A must. see my face fall, before I know it she is cupping


    my cheek with her hand asking me what’s wrong.


    “I have so much to do, that I can’t take you out, and I am a bit bummed out about it,” I answer and


    to my surprise, she just smiles at me.


    “Is there anything I can help you with? So we can go on a casual date tonight? Something on the


    pack ground maybe?” She asks me to think about ways to help me, to make the best of this


    situation.


    “If you really don’t mind, I do need to go over the rapports every pack sent me about their members.


    To see if they changed packs, or if they went rogue?” It is a tedious job, so when I told A what I


    was doing I figured she would decline.


    But she didn’t she settled down on the couch in my room and opened up herptop. Fully trusting


    her I gave her the login info to the email. She would start reading from the bottom up and I would do


    the exact opposite.


    Reading all the emails and then making the changes to the archives still was tedious. But with A


    next to me, time had flown by. Not only because we joked and teased between emails. She has also


    done about have of my job so that I finish work a lot sooner. We decided to go to the diner-style

    restaurant on pack ground. Excusing myself that I had to shower first I led A to our private


    chambers. She seemed to pick up how overly excited I was to show her the bookshelves. But other


    than raising a brow at me she didn’t say anything, which was good because I was bursting out the


    seams to tell her.


    “Grif, tell me you didn’t?” A’s voice ski ps a beat when she asks me about the wall covered with


    wrapping paper.


    “Darling, in a few weeks this will be our apartment, our bedroom I want you to feel at home here. It’s


    not totally selfless though I want our livingroom to be cozier so that we can spend time in there.


    A praises me for the idea about the living room but her eyes are immediately drawn to the


    wrapping paper.


    “Go one Darling rip it open” That is all the encouragement she needs.


    She begins tearing the paper down, and when I start to help her she grabs me by the cor and


    k*sses me hard, passionate. Before returning to the task at hand, In the time she is pulling down the


    wrapping paper. She does this cute little dance every time she discovers a new book. Most of the


    shelves are left empty though.


    Not only does she have a ton of books at her Grandparent’s ce already. We need space to fill up.


    I want her bookshelves to be full of books I got her. Our fridge is full of mas from ces we


    went to together. There is even a bookstore on pack ground. Looking at my watch I notice that we


    can still make the bookstore if I hurry.


    “You look beautiful Darlin, but I have to take a quick shower


    Griffin 70

    so feel free to use the shower after me if you need to,” I tell her before walking to the bathroom.


    ***


    The shower was wonderful, and it woke me up. A had changed into a simple tight tight-fitting


    dress. She was read too, and so I offered her my arm. Arms linked we made our way into town.


    Where she had no idea where I was taking her to, she still seemed to think we were just walking


    towards the restaurant. She would never be able to find or do any thing on pack ground on her own.


    I silently tell myself to print the maps of the pack for her this weekend so she can’t study them. If


    she finds the time to do so in her busy schedule that is.


    Now I can benefit from her not knowing her way around the pack. I ask her to close her eyes for the


    last few feet. She is confused seeing as she thinks she already knows where we are going. But she


    does as I ask her without any questions. When we are in front of the bookstore I let her open her


    eyes. She squeals and jumps into my arms, I waste no time in wrapping my arms around her lifting


    her off the ground again. I will never stop loving the feeling of her petite frame melting into me as I


    lift her off the ground. It makes me feel like I can protect her from everything in this world. Suddenly


    I am overwhelmed with the need to tell her that. Even Conan is ringing through my mind, whining


    our mate needs to know we will keep her safe.

    belong,” I tell her giving in to the need to tell her.


    “I know you will, Griff I trust you with my life” Her answer is


    Griffin 70


    like balm to my soul.

    Her feet are firmly back on the sidewalk again and she takes a step closer to me. So I bent forward


    to give her a k*ss. Instead, she just grabs my wrist and pulls me into the bookstore. And I cannot


    but helpugh at her enthusiasm. She is picking up books, smelling them, and reading the back.


    She even grabs. the books by their spine waving them around. ording to her, it is to testy how


    floppy they are: Honestly, I don’t get it, I don’t get what the fun in reading is. But if you enjoy it why


    not. just download an e-book?”.


    “That is why I can’t wait to have mom over for a visit when I moved in here. She will love going to


    this bookstore with me.” A tells me, it makes sense her mother loves books just as much as she


    does.


    “Oh, so you do n on living here? You actually want to be the Queen” Rhonda snaps at A.


    Arms crossed ready to tear into A, I want to intervene and tell Rhonda to mind her own business


    and to leave her alone. But when I look at A I know I am toote and I no longer


    have the chance to.
