“A, sweetheart Griffin is here to see you” Uncle Cedric mindlinked
1. me.
I rolled my eyes before telling him I knew what he wanted and that I was not interested. Uncle Cedric
knew better than to argue with me. A part of me felt bad that Crown Prince Griffin had traveled all the
way here. for nothing. Especially after my talk with Lina. She told me that the only wolves who weren’t
eligible for the second chance mates were those who had hurt their first mate. Either by a rejection on
shallow grounds, like me not beingrge enough to be a Luna. Or by physical hurt, or wolves that got
rejected because their mate was left with no other option. Like a wolf who had cheated before the
mating process waspleted. Or a wolf that had murdered innocent wolves or humans. before. I
didn’t quite know what to feel about that. Sure it was nice to know the MoonGoddess really saw me as
someone capable of being a Luna. Only she paired met with two mates who clearly disagreed with her.
Being rejected for a second time after the physical trauma my body had been through in the past year
would most likely be the end of me.
And I was far too headstrong, I had far too much self–worth to be the side piece. Even more to be the
side piece of my fated mate, because hist parents deemed me unworthy. Not wanting to put Crown
Prince Griffin through the same pain as I had my only option was to avoid him. Hoping that the
matebound didn’t have enough time to fully develop so with time, his being with someone else wouldn’t
hurt as much.

“Are you sure you don’t want to at least hear him out, honey?” Grandpa asked me.
Just as I was about to answer him there was a knock on the door. The smell of cedarwood, cinnamon,
and citrus reveals it is Crown Prince Griffin who is at the door. I want to ask my grandparents to lie and
tell him I am not home. He would smell I was though, and I love my grandparents but they would
meddle and tell him exactly where I am. Just as Uncle Cedric did. Very reluctantly I go to open the
door, and the words “What are you doing here?” Die on my lips I can’t see his face. He is hidden
behind a pile of tree boxes he is carrying. That wouldn’t bother me if wasn’t for the words “A’s
books” written in my mother’s swirly handwriting on them.
“Hey A, can Ie in and set these down this is a little awkward” Griffin’s words pull me back to the
present.
Fuck, how can I be rude and refuse him entrance now? Taking the top box of the stack so he can see
something. I nod and step aside so he cane in. He takes a deepbreath before he does. After
cing the boxes on the floor next to the stairs he greets my grandpa and grandma. Telling them to just
call him Griffin as he hopes they will be his family. They both seem so pleased with this, he
impressed them with his charms. To make matters worse Grandpa informed Griffin he could make
himself at home here. As he and Grandma had an errand to run. Grinning from ear to ear. When I knew
for a fact they didn’t have any errands to run. He just wanted to give us some privacy, privacy I didn’t
want.

“I have a friend who bakes the best cookies in the world, her red velvet cookies helped me win her
grandma over. A’s favorites are Snickerdoodle cookies though” He whispered just loud enough for
me to overhear.
Why was my entire family obsessed with me giving this man a chance?
The hind him and the tension between me ME OS
Prince was palpable.

“Before we continue, I have a letter here from my father, an apology about what you overheard. Please
read it so you can decide if you want to talk to me after”
He makes his way to the kitchen in what I figure is his way of giving me privacy. I stare at the envelope
in my hand. It has the royal seal stamped in the wax. Whatever the king wants to tell me with this letter.
He wanted to be very sure I was aware it was an official letter. Sighing I; open the letter, it’s not like you
can ignore a royal letter addressed to
you.
“To my hopefully soon–to–be daughter–inw,
I am incredibly sorry for what you overheard, first of I should have never shouted at my son. Especially
not since I wanted him to rush to
announce the next Queen.
Believe you me his mother my wonderful mate chewed me out for it.

She once was an omega by the way It didn’t matter to me from the very second Iid my eyes on her I
was smitten and I would have moved heaven and earth to be with her. For that reason alone I would
never tell my son his fated mate wasn’t good enough. Not to mention the Hemming name is well known
amongst wolves. I know of your human ancestor as I do about the bravery that led to her untimely
demise.
As to what you overheard my dear son say. After being severely chewed out by my mate. And rightfully
so I told him if in six months‘ time your would still not ept Grillin as your mate. He would have to find
a chosen mate. He agreed because he couldn’t wait to get ready to find you and see if he could
introduce us.
I do hope you will ept my apology and not hold Griffin ountable for my actions. This letter is also
a standing invitation to join my family for dinner. Not a fancy royal affair though. Just two parents
getting to meet their new daughter, we Taylor men are quite the cooks I would have you know,
All best,
Roderick”
I had to read the letter twice, I wish it didn’t but I felt a spark of hope. When I read the king brag about
his and his son’s cooking skills I finally noticed the scent of cinnamon had changed. It had been about
twenty minutes since he walked into the kitchen. Just as I was about to call him he came walking into
the living room. He had a bit of flour on his cheek, if I didn’t know better I would have said he was
baking cookies. But who

would do such a thing in the home of two wolves you just met?
“So have you read it?” He asked almost painfully shy.

I nodded unsure of what to say at this point. Until he tried to tell me his mom was an omega before she
mated with his father. I stopped him pointing out that I already knew, and that I wanted to know why he
was here
“To beg for another chance, I know you were about to give me one. So what can I do to make up for
messing up so much?” He said, voice still unsure but he looked me straight in the eyes as he told me
why he was here.
“How dare youe here to ask me for another chance when you have not respected my wishes one
bit. At the ball, I tried to get away from you and you chased after me. Your father might ept any wolf
as your mate but he still wants to rush me. So what I overheard would have put me off either way.
Hence why I left you a letter I would not ept you as your mate. Asking you to leave me alone, so
you traveled to the Blood Moon pack and now you came here? What can I do to make you leave me
alone” I told him although at the end of my little speech, I was just screaming at him.
“I won’t give up on us A, I still truly believe with everything I have the MoonGoddess blessed me with
you as my mate. So I won’t stop trying to prove to you I can be the best mate you ever seen. Up until
the very second you reject me.” He told me, his royal aura, his Alpha aura surrounding me.

He was no longer insecure like he meant everything he told me with every fibre of his being. Sadly I
meant everything I said too and I was not ready to ept him as my mate. His pushing has left me with
only one option, and as much I would feel guilty, as much as I had wanted to avoid this. I knew what I
had to do. So I started speaking again.
“Fine, if that’s what it takes here we go. I A Hemmings, rankless of the WhiteOak pack hereby…”
