I kept to my promise and texted Griffin every morning when I woke up, every night when I went to bed,
and a lot of times in between. He would always reply quickly. The only thing that seemed off was that
he needed to be more chatty about the guys he was with. He was obvious in missing me as much as I
was missing him. So I tried to pay it no mind. Maybe one of the guys wasn’t as much fun as he
expected them to be. Maybe one of the guys said or did something that put him off. Whatever it was I
would know in a few hours because I was about to take the jet to the airport where Griffin would pick
me up.
I was more excited to be back in his arms than anything else though. I was the one who told him over
and over again that he should go on his own. That we would both be fine, and we were. My days here
were pretty uneventful. But in the calm, pleasant this is what my life should be like kind of way. I studied
with and without Isabe. She and Roderick had me over for dinner one night. As did Jessa and
Gerald, maybe they just wanted to distract me from being without my mate. But the nights were fun
regardless.
I felt bad not being able to tell Rodrick, Gerald, and especially Jessa about being pregnant. Isabe
made sure that there wasn’t
any alcohol served at dinner when I was there. Jessa on the other hand had got me my favorite wine. I
had to lie to her that I didn’t want to drink alcohol until I was sure I was not pregnant. I don’t know if she
believed me or not but Geraldplimented me on it being a smart choice. And with that, I avoided
that conversation too.

I started showing Dean around, not only was he a smart guy picking up on everything quickly. He
genuinely was a fun guy to hang out with. He wanted to tell me something on his second day of
working with me. Something he seemed anxious about. In the end, he told me that he was ga y, which
he knew would not bother me. But right up until the moment he found out Griffin had found his fated
mate he had been attracted to him.
“I mean I know he is straight, and I knew he wasn’t my fated mate. If he was we would have known
before. I just, well you said you wanted your Gemma to be your friend too right? And I would love
that you are a lot of fun to be around. But friends do not hide things like that from each other now do
they?” It was sweet Dean had been so nervous about telling me. But I trusted him, and there was no
limit to how much I actually trusted Griff. So I wasn’t bothered with it. Still, Deaning forward to tell
me on his own was telling me so much of who he was as a person again. That the only thing it did was
confirm to me that he was the right man to be my Gemma. And after that, it was obvious it was what
Dean had needed to clear the air between us. In fact, he was the one driving me to the airport now.
Griffin had driven to the airport himself, so it would be foolish to drive there myself. Because we would
then need to drive back together in two separate cars. Normally I would have just asked one of the
drivers to take me to the airport. Dean however had been adamant that he wanted to drive me. At first,
Krystel had suggested we could all go together. Again Dean had been adamant that she should just
take the weekend off. After all, Dan had the weekend off too.
It didn’t take long for him to convince Krystel to just stay home. Like me and Griffin both her and Dan
had been very busy with everything. It was the biggest downside to doing everything a little differently

normally would. I made my peace with the fact that we did long ago. Everyone around us affected by
are upside-down way of doing things seems to be fine with it too. They all love us and know the reason
we have why we had to go about it in such a chaotic manner. Of course, that did not take away from
the fact that we were all getting tired and a little overworked. So all of us took every break we could. As
I was packing thest things in my bag before Dean picked me up, Krystel and Dan were probably still
sleeping in. And if it wasn’t for the fact that I would be seeing Griff again in two hours. I would have
been jealous of them.

“You know I have still not gotten over the fact that I can just take the jet for things like this” I confessed
to Dean.
He had been unusually quiet and I could tell there was something on his mind. Something he was not
ready to tell me yet. Which was I shame because both as his future Luna and more importantly so as
his friend. It was my job to help him. To lend him a listening ear, maybe even a shoulder to cry on. For a
moment I figured that was the reason Dean had made sure it was just the two of us when he took me
to the airport. There is something safe about talking to each other in the confinement of a driving car. It
was why I had not started talking up until my small confession.
I wanted to make sure my happy chatter about my free weekend didn’t make Dean feel like he could
not share his worries with me. The airport where our private jet was, was only thirty minutes away from
the airport. And when he hadn’t spoken for ten minutes. The silence had be awkward, making me
think that whatever it was. Dean was not ready to tell me yet. By now I knew him well enough to know
that he felt the awkwardness in the car too. He somehow was unable to do anything

about it. So I took it upon myself to get a conversation going. It worked he answered me right away.
“I bet, but at least, you came from a long line of leaders. You fit into this life so easily, even leaving both
of your old packs did not seem like a problem to you.” He sighed and his response got me a little off
guard. He seemed to almost be bitter about it.
That didn’t match with the Dean I had seen up until this moment but just as I was about to ask him what
was up. I noticed he had taken a wrong turn driving deeper into the woods not towards the airport as he
was supposed to
“Dean, why are you going this way, it’s not the way to the airport,” I asked him trying not to show him
my slight panic.

“Sorry, A, wrong turn I was a little distracted, I will get you to where you need to be in time. No need
to worry. Not about getting there in time at least” He mumbled thest word, leaving me unsure of what
to do or think.
