Everyone was so happy for us like I knew they would be. Lunch was filled with talk about babies and
families. Kate and Tim were ecstatic to know our pups would grow up together, close in age. They
already started nning a family trip after both the first birthdays. Griffin seemed excited about the
idea. And it made me feel like he was finally feeling morefortable. Not as scared of something
being out there to get to us as much anymore, and I loved it. I was having so much fun that I never
realized after the main, no one came down to ask if we wanted a dessert. Not until a group of waiters
came walking up to us. Carrying a huge pastel blue and pastel pink cake.
There was a ck velvet box on the tray with the cake, that the waiting staff ced in front of me.
“Thank you for another dreame true” was written on the cake in silver cursive letters. I looked at
Griffin through a hazy gaze, my eyes brimming with tears. Happy tears, because I was so grateful for
how amazing this man was. He made me so happy, I was so d I finally gave in. That he didn’t give
up when I tried to push him away. To a wolf, nothing is worse than being rejected by their mate. But
with David being my friend first, with all the betrayal, the bullying after it had broken me. Well beyond
any measure, Griffin who was a dreame through. Would have seemed to be too good to be real if I
did meet him first. But when I did get to meet him, with all my past I felt like I was constantly waiting for
the other shoe to drop.
Even after epting him, I was still waiting, still scared. But he healed me, made me a stronger better
version of myself. Close to the girl I was before David destroyed me, but even stronger than the girl I
was before

that. It was me who should be thanking him every day for all he had done for me. All that he has given
me. But instead, he was thanking me at every turn. Like the sweetheart he is.
“Come on Sweetheart, open the gift then” Grandma prompted me because she was excited to see
what Griffin had given me.
And she was not the only one, my hand trembled as I unwrapped the ribbon tied around the ck
velvet box. In it was a beautiful silver ne of a moon peaking out from behind the branches of a
tree. I had seen nes like these that had the Tree of life on them. This ne however had to
be custom–made. Not only because of how intricate and elegant it was. But because the tree in front of
the moon was the great white oak. My original pack was named after. The same tree my grandfather
had tattooed on his arm. Two of the branches were adorned with my Griffin’s birthstones. The other
branches had diamonds in them.
“Griff, this is beautiful I don’t know what to say” I choked out getting emotional again.

“I am d you think so, Darling. Every time we have a pup you can take out a diamond and rece it
with their birthstone. They and I will have a piece of jewelry made with that diamond in it on their
sixteenth birthday.” Griff exined more of the meaning behind this amazing gift.
It left me sobbing, unable to hold back my tears. Griffin hugged me, telling me how much he loved me
again. How happy he was about our future together. telling me to take the entire afternoon to go
shopping. My wedding dress appointment wasn’t for another two hours. He suggested I would get
some clothes that would fit me better. Some maternity clothes perhaps. He didn’t whisper but I didn’t
mind anymore that the entire table could hear. I had a bit of insecurity this morning.

Griffin well and truly showed me how beautiful he still thinks I am. His opinions are the only one that
matters. Not to mention the fact that he was right. I was not getting round or fat, I was carrying our pup.
And I should feel proud and honored to do so.
I smiled when Dad, reached for his back pocket. I knew what he was going to do. He never liked giving
gifts if he was not 100% sure it was something the other person liked. He would always get out his
credit card and tell us to get ourselves something nice because we… whatever it was he wanted to
give us something for.
“Here, sweetheart, get some maternity clothes and something for the pup. You made your old man so
proud and happy do you know that?” He asked, and despite how generous he was I couldn’t stop a
sinall giggle from escaping me.
“I know Dad, and I am sorry forughing at you it’s just”
“You always do this” Mom, Kate, and Dan answered for me as if they rehearsed it.
Dadughed along with us, while Rodrick expressed what a smart man my dad was. Because he
always spends hours trying to find a gift not knowing what to get people.
We keptughing and joking as we ate the cake Griffin had gotten me.
I was excited to go shopping for maternity clothes but at the same time, it felt a little prematurely. I was
only 10 weeks pregnant and it was just a little bump. You could hardly see it with the naked eye. It just
made closing my jeans ufortable. I was still doubting if I could not just

“Darling, don’t you deserve this we’re still hoping for a big family right. So who knows how often you will
get to wear these clothes” Griffin mind linked me.
Seemingly knowing exactly what was on my mind without even being here with me. Mind linking when
we were amongst humans was risky though. It left you unable to do or see anything for a few seconds.
That wasn’t the thing that stuck out most though. Our eyes would ze over. Grandma has mentioned
before how much it stands out when she still didn’t know she was a human. We are already a big and
somewhat rowdy bunch. All with tattoo’s of our partners on the exact same ce on our bodies. There
really is no need for us to stand out more than we do.
When I get my vision back, I smile brightly, Figuring the fact that Mom and Jessa are holding me like
they are afraid I would faint any second now. Until I blink and I see the one person standing in front of
me. They must have seen I just mindlinked, and while I am not alone I suddenly feel scared again.
Hoping nothing bad will happen to me so I can go back to Griffin and tell him how sorry I am forever
doubting him. How right he was about all of this still not being over. About the threats there still are from
wolves I deemed not to be a problem to me anymore.
“Wait, A don’t do anything crazy, don’t go mind linking that mate of yours not before I tell you what I
have to say” The voice still makes me shudder, but this time I feel a pit of anger forming at their words,
