“I truly hope things work out between the two of you. Don’t give up on my sister okay? She is stubborn
as hell and has been through a lot thest few years” Daniel told me as he helped me load my bag and
some boxes into the ne.
Today I would be going home to the castle, after listening to her family and friends I would not wait for
her at the WhiteOak pack. She had to deal with a lot of stuff right now. And while I wasn’t about to
admit. defeat lying down. I was not going to make her feel ufortable. In two weeks‘ time, I would
travel down to her to give her the boxes of books Jay and Tessie told me to pack, stating she would
miss her books the most. Of course, I was happy to do something that should give her somefort in
theing weeks.
Jessa was flying back with us, in the past two days she and Gerald hadpleted the mating process.
And I hated feeling jealous of the beautiful intricate mark that decorated Gerald’s corbone now.
Without thinking about it my fingers brushed my empty corbone again. Like I had done so often for
the past two days. With everything I had learned about A even without actually talking to her, I was
getting more and more impressed by her. Making it harder to think about the possibility of her rejecting
me and settling with my chosen mate. Everything had left me a little nervous about going home and
facing my parents again.

I had been worrying about nothing. The minute I set foot on packground, a servant came running up to
me. Telling me my parents wanted to see me right away. My stomach twisted in knots. I was willing and
ready to fight them if all the trouble A was in would cause them toe back on their decision to
support me in trying to convince her to ept me as her mate. When I walked in they both sat behind
Father’s desk with wide smiles on their faces. Scaring me into thinking they were proud of hand–
selecting a chosen mate for me.
“Sit down, son we just wanted to go over this whole business with your mate,” Dad said.
The fact that he still referred to her as my mate was the first reassurance. And when they told me they
were proud of me both for keeping my cool for as much as I did and because I was not willing to give
up on what I believed in so easily. I felt myself slowly rx. Sure we needed toe up with a n on
what tomunicate when the people of our pack would see I was traveling a lot more than I used to.
We also needed toe up with a n for how to deal with the BloodMoon situation.
“I have a n for thetter matter, but one that I cannot execute without having spoken to my beautiful
mate first,” I told them.
Mom softly smiled at me as they agreed with me. I never thought about it but she was Luna, dad had
been the Crown Prince just as I was. She
was he met her. So she could rte to A. She knew
an omens when
what it was to think you were not good enough and then end up being the Luna of all Luna’s. The next
time I would see A I would tell her that. Tell her my Dad would never take someone’s physical

or rank into ount. Since he himself mated an omega. For now, we agreed I would keep focussing on
my work and my training to take over as a king. We would just say visits to other packs to strengthen
our political connections were part of the training. Giving me an excuse to travel as lot as I had to. Even
if I hoped it wouldn’t be long before A agreed to at leaste and live on the SilverMoon
packground. Preferably in my chambers with me, but I kept telling myself I should take it easy. And
ept we would probably move slower than most mates did.

Today was the day when I finally got to see A again. The day after I arrived home Jay had texted me
A was now officially epted as a member of the WhiteOak pack. So there was no longer a threat
of her bing a rogue. Which had been wildly reassuring, as was working in my office surrounded by
six boxes full of books. On some days, I had caught myself daydreaming about turning one of the walls,
into.custom- made bookshelves. Reading didn’t really appeal to me that much. But if my mate loved it
as much as she seemed to, if she had as many books as she had I would be honored to give up most
of my room to store her books. Jessa had told me she had always wanted one of those huge.
bookshelves with a rollingdder attached to it. I had gone as far as to google some bookshelves, and I
asked one of the pack’s carpenters if making bookshelves like that would be doable. Acting like Jessa
was the one who loved to read. Not only did he tell me it was very much doable. He seemed excited at
the prospect of such a huge project. Mom had warned me not to go ahead with it just yet. It could give
off the wrong idea to A, and if she ended up not epting me the bookshelves would be a constant
reminder of what I lost. Deep down I knew she was.

right but I couldn’t help myself wanting to do something for my mate.
I was still mulling all of this over when Dillion and I were packing the boxes into the trunk of my SUV. I
would not fly to the WhiteOak pack it was only a four–hour drive. Making flying there a bit excessive. It
would draw more attention. And most of all it felt good to know my wonderful mate was close enough I
could just drive up there. During the entire drive there my stomach was in knots and I kept over what I
was going to tell her over and over again. But first I would need to speak with the WhiteOak’s Alpha.
Her Uncle Cedric Hemming, I told myself I would never go as bad as it did with her former Alpha, still it
was a daunting thing to do.

I arrived at the pack and I immediately noticed this pack was far more lively. It bustled with life just like
the BloodMoon pack had been. Now however I could hearughter and kids ying. People stopping
to chat with each other saying goodbye with hugs. The guards who watched the pack’s entry had
offered to walk me to the Alpha. It never felt like they were guarding me or keeping an eye out. In fact,
you could see the pride radiate of the guard as he pointed out some of the shops telling me a little
about it. About his pack, even the packhouse seemed to be warmer, more homely right away.
Alpha Cedric greeted me with a broad smile and a warm handshake. He was dressed in jeans and a
knit sweater. Nothing to fancy and he didn’t even seem to be bothered by it. He did mindlink someone,
apologizing and exining he asked his mate toe on over. Soon his mate and

son joined. Just like Alpha Cedric, they were dressed casually. Even the atmosphere was different with
the three of them around.
“Let’s go and talk in my office instead of standing here in the hallway,” Alpha Cedric tells me before
leading me to a spacious homely–decorated office.
“It’s good to meet you again Crown Prince Griffin, it has been a while, and from what I understood
things have changed a lot,” Cedric tells me still smiling brightly as he sits down.

Things feel almost too good to be true, and then I realize A isn’t here. I get that I came over
unexpectedly so she couldn’t have been here waiting for me. But when he mindlinked his mate he
could have, mindlink A too. So there is an issue why he didn’t call her over, or he did, and for
whatever reason she had decided not toe to me regardless. Dread settled in as I focussed back
on the wolves on the opposite side of the desk. He picked up on my worries and started to exin why
we were all sitting in his office without A. What he told me made me feel hopeless, it had me
questioning if it was worth it to keep trying for this girl. The thing is now that I’ve met her I don’t think I
will be able to let her go that easily.
