Chapter 174
171 Griffin
As soon as I noticed that themotion outside our door wasn’t going to stop I wanted to kill
whoever was trying to bash in our door. A was too far gone in her heat now, for the next three
days she would barely be able to have a real conversation with me. Or not about anything else but
me but our future at least. As for me, I had just enough control left to get off the bed and go see who
was at the door- not bothering getting dressed, or doing anything to hide my arousal. Everyone in
this pack knew exactly what they were walking into. If something serious was up they could have
mindlinked me
“Don’t Griff” Dillion called out to me as soon as the door cracked open.
He should have known it only made me more curious. As a result, I swung open the door entirely to
be faced with Cynthia. Maybe I should have covered up more because I did not like the lustful gaze
she swept over my naked body.
“You stank up the entire ce with the smell of sex between you and our future Queen” Dillion
spoke as he rushed over.
While the heat doesn’t affect male wolves as much as it does she- wolves. We are not immune to it
either and with being a royal wolf. My dominance is stronger and Cynthia deliberately disturbing my
mate and me when in heat. It could cause me to lose control and rip her throat out. Dillion’s joke
brought me back to the present, reminding me of what I was doing. What I would be doing again in
seconds if I just dealt with this quickly?
“What is it you want Cynthia?” I snarled gripping the door frame. I could faintly hear A moan.

With her being too far lost in the heat I could only imagine what she was doing. I wanted to be with
her, she should be doing those things. with me. Not to mention how vulnerable she was now. I didn’t
want. the others to overhear her because the door was open.
“I am offering you onest chance, Griffin you know I am a better. match for…” From there on out
everything happened lightning fast.

Dillion growled as he pulled Cynthia from the door. The man was jokes ny percent of the time.
But he was loyal to a fault, and the angering off of him in waves as the insult to his future
Queen clearly left him on edge.
“Thank you, Dillion, bring her to her father please we will decide what to do when the heat is over” I
ordered him.
Not because I like ordering around my friend, but because I didn’t know what he was capable of
with how mad Cynthia made him. I was right too because the disappointment that he could not
punish her was written all over his face. All I wanted was to go back to A though and see what
she was doing. Never did I expect to see her teasing me like that, ying with me like that and in
that moment I got lost in the heat too.
I woke up to A rubbing up to me still sleeping. Hours ago she had passed out during her org asm.
It wasn’t even umon for she- wolves still it scared me for a few seconds. Until I noticed she
had drifted off into a peaceful sleep. I was tired too and I must fallen asleep. not long after. A
wasn’t up yet but she was getting there that much was clear. I slipped out of bed to make us our
coffee. Determined to not even let the heate between me making her a coffee.
By the time I got back, A was still asleep, which made sense as the heat was tiring. However,
she had gotten restless without me. After

cing both coffee mugs on my nightstand. I crawled big into bed. with her as the big spoon she
calmed down for a few seconds before rubbing up to me again, Clearly she didn’t need to be fully
awake to feel the effects of the heat. Since we both fell asleep naked yesterday a n formed in my
mind. I pushed her flush against my body. My erection rested between her butt cheeks as I wrapped
my arms around her. My hand made my way to her pu ssy, starting to y with her.
She woke up moaning riding my hand, as soon as she opened her eyes looking over her shoulder. I
thrust into her, she throws her head back. instantly matching my rhythm again. Her face was no
longer, soft and sleepy. Now her eyes are opened wide, darkened with lust. She pulls. her knee up
making me go deeper again. I love how loud she is now, usually, she is a little more reserved. Not
wanting to have the entire pack here with us. Now she didn’t care anymore. It was raw and
desperate and I loved every second of it Even if like this it never took longer, than twenty minutes. I
feel her clench around my c ock as she bes undone. And I followed her soon.
As soon as I pull out she turns to me, face calm and soft again. She mumbles a sweet good
morning into my chest. For a few moments, we do not speak, just lying here snuggled up together.
Until her stomach rumbles, A sits up, so I sit up with her, handing her, her mug of coffee. Eaming
me a bright smile, I think back to yesterday evening, Maybe I should tell her about Cynthia but there
is no telling how she is going to respond when she is hormonal like this. I want to believe that she
still is the same kind and sweet girl as I know her to be. But with the heat, you can never be sure.
And honestly, I wanted to stay in this peaceful, bubble with her. I am sure she will understand if I will
tell herter.
Because no matter what, we need to deal with Cynthia because at this rate she is never going to
stop. Nothing that she does is severe enough to inflict real punishments on her. No matter how
much I want it. Honestly, I don’t eyen think A wants to because she is a lot kinder

than I am. So for now I am going to leave it be. Instead, I went out of the room, to see if any of the
pack members left meals already. Sure I could whip up some breakfast for the two of us. But neither
of us can bear to be away from each other for too long. I always miss her when she is not close to
me but normally I would be more than able to be away for her just to make breakfast. But the heat
isn’t just about lust it makes everything more intense. Including how much we love each other and
how much we miss each other when we are not closer.
Luckily even with the short time we have been locked up in our chambers. Several pack members
have left meals, and talismans. outside of our door. Most I can guess who they are from there is just
one odd parcel. I just take them all inside and bring the still-hot chicken and waffles no doubt made
by Milo to the bedroom.

That is why I declined her offer it wouldn’t be fair to any of us. Not on Jessa who would then spend
arge part of her life in a job she did not want. Not on me because I would always feel guilty about
forcing my best friend into doing something she didn’t want to. And not on the pack and the country
who deserved a Gemma who was all in. Someone who wanted this job to help me take care of the
pack.
Her father Theo had been a homemaker by choice. That is why we spent most of our childhood
there. When she offered me to be my Gemma I reminded her of that and told her she should
just expect all our pups to hang around their home as the rest of us were working leading the
country. Adding in the would have the hardest job out of all of them. At the time it was a joke, to
make her feel better about not helping out as she put it. Now Iid my hands down on my stomach
because that fantasy might be a reality much sooner.
“Did you feel anything, you shouldn’t be able to already right?” I hadn’t noticed Griffin walk in with
our coffees just as I was cradling my stomach.
Another sign that the heat was dwindling, seeing I was not hyper- focused on Griffin anymore.
“No I am not, just thinking about the fact that I might very well be pregnant now” I smiled at Griffin.
The heat may havee much sooner than either of us expected.
We both have always wanted a big family, I wanted at least three pups. Probably because of how
happy I was growing up with a younger brother and sister. We all had our own friends, but still, we
had an inseparable bond. Even now that we had grown up we still did. Sure we didn’t live in the
same house anymore and we did not speak to each other daily. Not even Dan and me even though
we lived in the same pack. Still, I know without a doubt in my mind that they would always be there
for me when I needed them too. As I would for them.

“It seems like you are feeling more like yourself today?” Griffin asked as he settled in the bed next to
me.
I nodded taking a sip of my coffee just being content with sitting so close to him this time. Not feel
the need to practically crawl in his Ja p to get as much physical contact as I could.
am I think we can spend today getting our bearings, looking at all the gifts we have gotten. And let
the pack know we will be back to our usual work starting tomorrow?” I suggested being met with his
bright smile as he agreed with me
We both know that if push came to shove we would have been able to get back to the grind today if
it was needed Luckily we were in the calm before the storm, as it was good to have a day together
Where we could just enjoy each other’spany Let the effect of the heat slowly wane Not to
mention that I had seen the ridiculous amount of offerings we had The list of meals Grillin had kept
that were brought to us. I wanted to write to each and every pack member who left us a gift Either
as a wee to the pack gift or as a blessing for our heat a handwritten thank you note
A sincere thank you, both because my pack deserved so. And secondly to show them the kind of
leader I was going to be to them. I had seen firsthand the damage an arrogant leader who values
themselves above their pack could do. It left me determined to show my pack, our pack, that I was
their equal We all had a role to y in this pack and this country’s dynamic While mine was a heavy
burden to carry, it was not the only role of importance The strength in a pack, in a country, liest with

“Let’s enjoy onest meal made for us by Milo, and then maybe we can have breakfast in the pack
kitchen tomorrow?” Grillin suggested showing me we were both on the same level.

“Darling, there is something I need to tell you, please now I only kept it from you because of the
circumstances” Griffin started after being quiet and thoughtful for a few moments. I understood why
he had not told.
me.
After all the heat would have made me a little unstable. That didn’t mean I hated the fact that we
never seemed to be able to catch a break. I did not regret anything that happened to me or to us. I
believe my life. and experiences so far shaped me up to the person I was today. And I had no doubt
it had led met to Griffin. With that it lead me to the best thing that ever happened to me. All I wanted
now is a break, just enjoy getting to know this pack, learning how to rule it. And settle into the life I
was creating with Griffin without threats from the outside. Without people trying to mess with our
rtionship.
“How bad it is” I asked Griff trying hard and failing harder to keep the exhaustion out of my voice.
“Wellpared to all the shi t we went through together I would say it’ s more of an annoyance than
a serious matter” His answer was humorless.
He wasn’t making a joke to downy what had happened he seriously. thought what happened
wasn’t all that bad. It was just something he needed to share with me. Itforted me a little. So I
settled down into the cus hions of the newfortable couch to listen to what he was about to tell
me. He started by reminding me of that first night when I had gotten into the heat. The time when he
left me alone on the bed to check out what all themotion at our door was. I remember not
wanting to get up and check it because I was way too preupied by what we were doing.

“It was Cynthia offering me ast chance to be with her and not you. And Dillion was about to kill
her for disrespecting his friend, future Luna, and future Queen like that. Imanded him to take
her home to her father and he was upset he could not execute any real punishment” Despite the
situation, or maybe because of the absurdity of it, Iughed.
I could see Dillion steaming with anger, wanting tosh out at Cynthia. I also remember how Griffin
had walked out to open the doorpletely naked, still turned on by what we had been doing
moments before. Griffin was right it was not a serious situation. Cynthia was a nuisance but sheExclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
seemed rtively harmless. To the point where imagining Griffin having to give Dillionmands
as his Crown Prince butt-naked made meugh.
“So you’re not upset, with her or me?” Griff asked me.
“I am not liking her trying to make the moves on my mate. But I actually pity her. Because I fully
trust you, I know I have nothing to worry about. As for you, you’ve done nothing wrong.” I kiss his
cheek to reassure him even more.
And it seems to work, I see the tension leave his body as he settles back into the cus hions of the
couch. He starts to exin that he hates what Cynthia is doing but that nothing she does is severe
enough to warrant a real punishment. The most we can hope for is a bit of social exclusion.
Everyone knows why she had been locked up during my kidnapping. What I did not know is that
most if not every pack member had found myck of punishment. A sign of my forgiving nature and
empathy.
I honestly wanted Cynthia to be reunited with her dad, and not have someone excluded on a day
that was all about celebrating old and new bonds. I ended up portraying myself in a far better light
than she had been doing.

“Maybe we can talk to her, and have her father join the conversation. Just to let her know that we do
not condone this behavior. And warn her of the consequences. We might not punish her but it’s
going to damage her standing in the pack” I suggest, because while I cannot punish her I don’t want
to just let it happen either. Luckily Griffin. agrees with me.
“This is why I know you will be the best Luna and the best Queen I could ever wish for. Even if you
still doubt yourself some time” He beams at me.
We decided we had to wait until after Hannah’s trial though because among all the gifts left at our
door, there was one single envelope. At first, we figured it had a card or a drawing but it was nothing
like that. It was a letter from the council of Elder wolves, requesting we let them know when the heat
was over. So they could be here the next day, to start with the preparation for the trial. Both of us
want to wait until tomorrow to let them know. However, changes are they will find out that we were
able to go back to normal today. And it would hurt not just our standing with the council of elders. It
would also be a sign of great disrespect and with that, it could prove detrimental to the trial.
Not wanting to risk it, Griffin decides to contact the council right away. Hoping that the fact it is
already past noon means they are unable to make it here by tomorrow. It would be the ideal
situation where we still have some time to settle back into our normal life. Without having to prepare
for a trial and without having to lie to the Council of Elders.
“And now we wait” Griff breathes out as he closes theptop he used to contact the elders.
He seemed a little down and I had how thest day of what should be a happy asion. The day
when we should bond even more. Bask in how much stronger our connection has gotten during this
period of heat. Now that we are both back to our senses, is getting

overshadowed by the things we still have to deal with.
“Baby, I took a bath this morning you’re still in your pajamas. Go have a shower or bath so we can
decide on what to have for lunch after.” I prompt Griffin, ted to see that the use of the nickname
still makes him smile like that.
Little does he know that the reason I never used a nickname before was because it made it feel too
real. Theck of inhibitions because of the heat made me use the nickname the first time. That
didn’t mean it was some lust-induced thing. Something I would never say again now that I was back
to my senses again. It was a nickname I had swallowed down. dozens of time to protect my heart.
But the past few days had shown me that there was nothing I could do to protect my heart from
breaking if Griffin would ever betray me. It had also reinforced the knowledge that he never would. I
regret how we started out, and I know I still wasn’t fully healed from the betrayals in my past. But as
I started chopping vegetables to surprise Griffin with a homemade lunch. I realized how much I had
grown as a person and how much being with my wonderful mate still let me grow and heal.
