I had known I was going to be a Dad for a few weeks now. And I had been happy about it from the
start. But it had been a distant concept, we couldn’t talk about it to anyone else. A and I daydreamed
about our pup. We made ns, thought about names, and decided we would honor the tradition of
naming your pup after one of the important Elders in your life. Somehow bing a father, and
starting the family I used to pray to the Moon Goddess daily felt abstract.
After the BBQ A had shown us what she and the other girls had gotten for our pup on their shopping
trip. We had already decided on what room we would turn into a nursery but we hadn’t started on it yet.
We couldn’t because decorating a nursery would make it very obvious we were expecting. Our own
chambers or apartment as A liked to call it in the castle was private enough. You just had to get in
and out through the main halls of the castle. Where everyone and their mother could see you. Which
hardly ever was a problem, it is just one of the things thates with pack living. Let alone in the
castle that’s our pack house as well.
Probably in a rush and with no real ce to put all the baby stuff they bought A had just put it on our
bed. I was about to pick it up to move it to a half–empty dresser drawer when the cute wolf onesie
Jessa got us caught my eye. In about six months from now, I would have my son or daughter in my
arms wearing this

very onesie. And I couldn’t be more excited about it. Holding this onesie finally made it real, made it
less abstract. I sunk to the bed and could only stare at the onesie. No doubt my tipsy state had
something to do with how much the idea of being able to hold my pup in my arms in six months
affected me. It was a genuine. happiness though, it just came in raw and unfiltered and I liked it.
Becausetely I had been consumed by worries, something felt so off. Conan was perpetually alert too
and it was taking a toll on me. Most of all it was taking a toll on my rtionship. I mean we were still
good, but it was the little things. A is less inclined to tell me things like her meeting Hannah. I one
hundred percent believed her when she told me she just wanted to wait until it was the right moment.
Because she didn’t want to spoil our night with our family. I trusted her gut instinct too. If she said
Hannah was not trying anything I believed her. The thing is she didn’t know if I would, and that’s why
she tried not to tell me during the BBQ. Sadly she was right to do so, because while I believed her. And
I genuinely wanted to just have a nice night with friends and family. The worry kept gnawing at the back
of my mind.
It was
why I drank a little too much, it was the reason my pregnant mate, who in reality still was recovering
from all that happened to her. Both mentally and physically was out there cleaning up the remains of
our party. I needed to go shower and go to bed to get my head on straight again.
“Baby, please answer me?” I suddenly noticed A was in the room with me. And her question
suggested that she had been talking to me before. She was worried again, I could sense it and I could
see it on her face. This was going to stop now!

“Sorry, Darling, holding this onesie just made it all so real. I was just daydreaming about our future. Let
me take you on a date. tomorrow. We will go and look at things like cribs and wallpaper. I will take you
out for lunch. We need some quality time together right?” I tried hard to keep my voice cheery and
even. Maybe it was lying to her again, but I don’t want her to know how worried I still am.
Because I was not going to act on it anymore, I needed to stop frantically scouring all the CCTV images
for any hint of imminent danger. Our fighters and our guards were well–trained, good at their jobs, and
motivated. Their job was to make sure we were safe without having to take a lot of time out of our days.
Taking time away from our roles, to maintain safety for us and the rest of the pack. I was doing not only
them but my rtionship a disservice by doing their job alongside my job.
“If you’re sure, we can find the time. I would actually love that and I feel it would be good for us to just
spend some time together. Allow ourselves to remember why we love each other so much.” A
agreed, she is always thinking about our duties to the pack.
She is going to make a wonderful Luna, Queen, and more importantly so an amazing mother to our
little pup. I will forever be grateful to the Moon Goddess for blessing me with such an astounding mate.
The events of today wore me down, when I was still buzzed I could not keep my hands off her. I
nned to make love well into the night but I was tired. And from the looks of it, A was too. Instead
of trying to seduce her, which honestly always worked out. I pulled her close to my chest wrapping my
arms around her so that she could bury her nose in the crook of

my neck. As I buried mine in her soft chocte–colored hair.
“Did, you manage to find a suit and groomsmen suits?” A mumbled sleepily.
I I I did but it reminded me of the fact I never asked if she found her wedding gown. I had almost ruined
the shopping experience for her and now I had been too stuck in my own head to ask her about it.
Telling her I did find a suit, asking her if she could tell me if she found a wedding dress or if she wanted
to keep it a secret. Felt like I wascking yet again, another not–so–subtle reminder that I needed to do
better. Selene had told A when they met during A’sa that she only connected fated mates,
she made them feel love for each other. She could not force mates to be good partners, and right now I
was not being one for A. The knowledge I was failing my mate, the knowledge that I was given. the
one thing I prayed for so long. Only to not respect it like I should broke me a little. In the end it kept me
up for most of the
night.
I almost slept through my rm, it would have been the first time. since finding A I would not wake
her up with a coffee in bed. Scolding myself I rushed out just in time, just before she woke up. Today
would be the first day of the new Griffin. Today would be the first day of the new life where I would be
the best mate to A I could be.
