Chapter 149
149 A
I underestimated how much going out to the food truck festival would take out of me. When Griffin
returned with a fruit sd and a fresh smoothie to watch our show, I felt so understood. And I told
myself I would make it through at least two episodes. So that I could have some quality time with
him. But I never caught the ending of the first episode. Now I woke up in an empty bed.
Hating the knowledge that I still couldn’t mindlink him, I got my phone to see if he texted me. He
didn’t and I could hear he wasn’t in the rooms with me. That feeling of having lost him, of him having
run away from me, was there for a split second. Where I used to let the fester months ago, I
reminded myself of how good he was for me. How good our rtionship was and I managed to
calm myself down quickly.
He is probably just in his office, so maybe I could go ahead and surprise him by showering and
bringing him his coffee. So I made my way to the kitchen where I found an already used coffee cup.
Showing me, I was most likely right and Griff had just got up early to get some work done. It was not
like he hadn’t suffered from all that happened to me. Not to mention that I could see how busy he
must have been with finding me, taking care of me, just sitting at my bedside. That he must be
drowned in work. More so since I still was unable to help him.
“I will take better care of myself, heal the best I can so I can be the future Queen and Luna Griffin
deserves as soon as I can,” I told myself
And temporarily forgetting all about showering and making coffee, I got a notebook and set down at
our dining table. I wrote down all the things I needed to do. Perhaps I can ask one of the doctors for
some sort of physical therapy to get stronger quickly. Since the pack knew what happened to me, I
could probably find afortable spot to have

the Gemma interviews. So I wrote down a meeting with Krystel to go over Gemma’s on the list too.
Of course, I would ask Griffin if he had any tips. But I wanted to do this without him, so as not to
burden him
more.
It must have been thirty minutes, and the list seemed daunting but it felt good to have a list. And
deep down I knew I had enough time to get it all done, there was no rush. Nobody expected me to
work yet, everyone expected me to take a break. To rest until I was feeling better. I heard the door
open, as I was about to look up and greet whoever was visiting me. Figuring it would probably be
Dillion who never knocked or just Griffining in to check up on me. When I heard my wonderful
mate whisper to someone.
“Quiet, she has not texted me yet she is probably still asleep, let’s try to keep i….”
I could hear the exact moment he spotted me. I looked up, wondering what all the whispering and
secrecy was all about.
And that’s when I saw it behind Griffin, my parents, and grandparents hade down to visit me.
Seeing as how Griffin is leading them into my chambers, I have no doubt that he is the one who set
this all up.
“What are you guys doing here?” I ask as I start to get up, and that is when I notice the rest of it.
They are all carrying boxes, there is one at Griffin’s feet. He probably put it down to open the door.
“Hi, Sweetheart, we are here to help you finally unpack,” Grandpa told
me.
In that sweet matter-of-factly tone like not happening. I have always loved when he did that in the
moments I was feeling lost with all that was happening around me. Unable to stop myself from
smiling, I make

my way over to my family to hug all of them. Everyone wraps me up in their arms at once. And it
was exactly what I needed. I needed to be with my family, surrounded by the people I love.
“Kate and Tim will be hereter today, your parents and grandparents got in the car at six am to be
here on time,” Griffin tells me before pecking my forehead.
It is such a chaste touch, nothing like how it was between us. Sure, he would not just give me a
passionate kiss with my parents and grand present. But we would at least give each other a normal
kiss. Just a peck on the lips, it was like Griffin was scared to touch me now. I shook the thought from
my head, convincing myself we just needed to find our new normal. We both just needed to heal
and this would all be over soon enough. We would soon be back to normal, so I was not about to let
my own insecurities ruin the amazing gift Griffin had just given me.
“I am sorry for not texting you Griff, I wanted to surprise you by making you a coffee and bringing it
to your office. But then I got distracted by making a to-do list of everything I need to do so I can start
bing the Princess you and our pack deserve.” As I spoke those words, there was another
spark of heat in my heart.
The sign of the pack bound growing, it was another thing I was desperate for. To be a part of this
pack. My bound with the White Oak pack was still intact, so there was no risk of me bing a
rogue. And while I loved the White Oak pack, I made a promise to the members of the Silver Moon
pack that I was going to be their Luna, their Queen. I was more than ready to fulfill that promise and
be a true part of this pack.
Griffin looked over at the notebook with my endless list. I could see him starting to worry again.
“Don’t worry Griff, they’re baby steps, you take a look when I finally

take a shower, okay?” I asked, my arms still wrapped around his waist.
I was met with another peek to the forehead like he couldn’t get enough of touching me. All while
holding himself back.
“Aunt Suzy, made you a cake sweetheart, I will go cut that up and make everyone a coffee to have
with your slice of cake” Grandma cut through the awkward tension between me and Griff.
I shot her a grateful smile, even if it was gnawing at me that the awkwardness was so obvious that
my grandparents noticed. As I stood under the shower, I was contemting bringing this up with
Griffin or not. I did not want to pressure him into anything, and I didn’t want to make him feel bad.
But there was this small voice in the back of my mind that reminded me of how important it had
been to Griffin that we both saved ourselves for our mate. That neither of us had been with another
wolf. The voice in the back of my mind would then question if Griffin was put off from being intimate
with me again, knowing that he no longer was the only wolf I had been intimate with. Even if he
should have felt that I never wanted it.
