The fear I felt when I made the bad joke about A rejecting me was almost as bad as the fear I had
when I woke up. To find my personal wing empty and A gone. My first thought was that she had left
me. Only all her stuff was still here, my note from this morning tucked in the first edition copy of Pride
and Prejudice my parents gave her. From then- on out I spiraled imagining the most horrible things to
have happened to her. Never did I consider the idea that she was making me breakfast. Let alone that
she would be sitting at the breakfast table hystericallyughing at my bad joke. After she had let me
hug her and sniff her neck. to calm down. When she hadn’t even epted me as her mate yet. All
those little actions made me feel so much lighter. My father was right, I shouldn’t have tried topete
with the man who rejected her. I should have treated her like I would have my mate regardless of her
past. She agrees to hear me out but I still get excited about that.
“We are going to sell the Porsche, but I want you to have a car. I want you to be able to alwayse to
me whenever you want to. I realized I don’t have to spoil you like you are a sweet Princess. Even if I
hope that someday you will be” I sigh up until now A had just been listening and she is still smiling.
But if this n doesn’t work, I might mess it up again and I just love that we are back to the easy–
going, rxed atmosphere we hadst weekend.

to an organization that helps children read?” I continued anyway and I am d that I did.
She beams at me and before she even opens her mouth I knew this was the right thing to do. I need to
thank Dad, as soon as I can. Maybe when A goes shopping with my mother. Another thing that
made met incredibly happy. Even better when she agreed to take my card to buy herself a dress. It
took some convincing but that was okay. I need to get used to the fact that I had a stubborn
independent mate.
“I’m afraid this isn’t just going to be a family BBQ right?” She chuckled. nervously.
Maybe she was an introvert like me. I could see her curled up on the couch reading a book instead of
going to a party. Then again her childhood home was full of pictures of her at social events. In every
single one of them, she seemed happy. For a second the worry about what her ex–mate had done to
her and how that might have made her resent parties now creeps up again. Worries I cannot let decide
how I react again. Instead, I just asked her about the pictures. And if she likes gatherings like that. Just
getting to know her, without oveplicating stuff. Suddenly I get a bit excited about going to a party
with her. Not one of the grand balls or other royal parties we host. No a more private one just for the
family. Where I can still walk around in a hoodie and jeans. Just chat with friends and family and have
fun. Because with her on my side I am sure it would be fun. In fact, I think I could be perfectly happy
sitting in awn chair just a little out of the way from the party. Watching my gorgeous mate have fun,
dance, sing andugh.

Because, thatugh of hers. The few times I have heard it bubble up it was music to my ears. And just
now when sheughed because of me. It drove home the fact that I had to shape up. I tried not to call
her my mate, not to call her by a nickname. Most of all I tried not to fall in love with her. I tried to not let
the matebond get any stronger. No matter how much I hated the fights we had they helped with that.
But every time things between us were rxed just like they were now. I could not help but fall for her.
She was amazing, like the real her the kind, funny, rxed independent A. She was made for me.

When we finally get to the car dealership she picks out the cheapest truck they have. A truck because
that’s what her Grandpa drives he has been all his life. He taught her how to drive in one. The cheapest
because she is a good person and she wants me to have the most money left to give to a good cause.
After figuring out there was no chance he could talk her into getting a more expensive car as a trade–in
for the brand–new Porsche. He told me I should be happy with my girlfriend. Like in the IKEA, I feel
conflicted, this time though it’s not me who confirms that we are a couple.
“Oh he knows and he is” A winks at the salesperson before standing up her tippytoes to try and peck
my cheek.
Wrapping one arm around her I lift her off the ground so she can actually reach my cheek. Honestly, I
love how small she is, I love being able to lift her off the ground with one arm. I love how she giggles as
I do. David was a damn fool for not knowing he struck gold. I shouldn’t

have felt so threatened by someone that stupid. It is another few hours. before we have to be back in
the castle. So that A and my mother can go dress shopping before the party. Knowing my mother I
won’t have A back until right before the party. And I love the fact that A is so willing to get to know
my family. And how my parents love her. But I would miss her like crazy. Normally before being
separated for a few hours, mates would just soak up every bit of love and quality time. Normally we
would have spent those hours cuddling and kissing and mating. The harsh reality is that she doesn’t
love me, not yet.
“What do you want to do next, we have a few hours to kill?” I ask her still hoping that she suggests to
go home and snuggle up on the couch:
After all, she seemed more open to things like that today. Like she was more epting of the fact that
we are mates.
“I know it isme but I would have wanted to read Pride of Prejudice, but your couch is the most
ufortable thing ever. I am sorry it just is She shakes her head.
There is no way I can get her to go shopping for a couch with her now. She is right my couch is more
about style than it is aboutfort. No. amount of throw pillows will make itfortable enough. Still,
the idea of gaming when she is reading next to me. Something thates so close to my idea of a
perfect weekend is too good to pass up.
“True, it’s a stylish couch but it’s notfortable. But I actually like gaming, and I have a gaming
console set up in my bedroom. Often I just

y when I’m in bed since it is morefortable. I could game and you could sit next to me and read
your book?” I suggest hoping she doesn’t take this the wrong way.
I think about being in my bed with her to y a whole different type of game. It’s only natural with how
attracted I am to her. It is not the main thing, and I would be just as happy with spending time with her
any other way.

“That sounds perfect, can we stop at a convenience store and snacks too? Nothing that would stain the
pages of the book though. I think I will cry if I get a stain on it.” She tells me with such an earnest face
that I have to suppress a smile.

This girl can get anything she wants from any store in this town. But she demands to be the one who
pays for the bags of gummy bears and marshmallows. And the few Dr. Peppers she gets us. I consider
it a win though. The rest of the morning and early afternoon we spent in bed I keep messing up my
game because watching A read is the best thing ever. Her expression changes, she will sp her
hand over her mouth and the best part is. After the initial response over what is on the pages, she
settles down on the pillows resting her head on my shoulder.
