This was exactly why I wanted to tell Griffin about Alpha Rob in the privacy of his bedroom. Dillion
didn’t mean any harm and I knew he didn’t. Even if it was a little weird he did not know how possessive
Griffin would be. Maybe because he had never seen Grif, around his mate before he was
unaware. Whatever the reason was I now had to deal with an angry mate, his iris rimmed with a lighter
color. Showing Conan was more than willing to take over and tear Alpha Rob a new
one.
“Your royal highness you should listen to your mate first” While he was using Griffin’s title to show
submission, Dillion’s voice was clipped.
He seemed to be agitated too, but he at least got Griffin to focus on met again.
“Sorry, Darling go on,” he said through gritted teeth.
“I get it Grif, I got so upset too when he dismissed you as a mate. I know what we have is still fragile
mostly because of me. Still, I wasn’t about to let him get away with insulting you. But with your father
being pissed at you for causing a scene I wanted to do better” As I was talking Griffin’s anger seemed
to melt away, if I wouldn’t know better I would say he looked happy.

It gave me the strength to go on with my story. Me calling Alpha Rob out onmitting treason meant I
regarded myself as royalty too. Technically it would be treason even before I was royalty since Grif
was. But only members of the royal family were entitled to im an act was indeed an act of treason..
let alone warrant someone’s arrest. So I took a deepbreath and continued.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
“So I told him what he said was treason and I gave him a choice, he would either go home faking a
headache”
“Like he says she–wolf do when they are unwilling to mate” Collin piped up, interrupting me.
He clearly enjoyed the fact I put Alpha Rob in his ce too. All three menughed, it was obvious that
Alpha Rob did not have a lot of friends. here.
“Something like that yeah. His other option was for me to have him arrested for treason, where I would
publicly announce what he has done for me to consider it treason. Meaning his mate would know he
has wanted to cheat on her” I finished exining what happened.
Dillion filled Griffin in on how Alpha Rob seemed unwilling to just walk off and how that made him step
in. Telling me there was someone who missed me, which wasn’t a lie but how he left it vague on
purpose. To create the illusion that it was Griffin who was about to rejoin me. And that it was thest
straw for Alpha Rob to leave the ball, his proverbial tail tucked between his legs.

“Oh and get this, he is not allowed to address you with anything other than My Lord, or My King isn’t
that so Firecracker” This was the first time Griffin didn’t bristle when Dillion called me Firecracker.
I didn’t mind the nickname at all. It was sort of ttering she–wolf or not. I never wanted to be perceived
as a weak girl. Especially since I had some physical shorings for a she–wolf. Before I knew what
was happening my feet left the floor.
Griffin lifted me from the floor spinning me around with an awestruck look on his face. “Damn, you’re
perfect darling, I just wish I could have seen his face” He pecked my lips before cing me back on the
solid. floor again.
This whole interaction, left me feeling giddy, sparks of the matebond shooting up through my arms and
spreading through my entire body. Leaving me to wonder how long I could let my hurt and my past fight
the matebond. Griffin wasn’t perfect just as I wasn’t perfect either. That didn’t mean we couldn’t be
perfect together. And more and more I was getting convinced that if we tried hard enough we could be
perfect together.

Two hourster the party had winded down enough for me and Griffin to retire to his chambers without
it looking weird. Or being inappropriate, it was I AM now so he would probably just want to crawl.

in bed and fall asleep. I was way too wired from the party, I do well in social interactions. I love being
social but I prefer casual events so balls and other fancy parties have always drained me a bit. My
usual solution was to get a snack and read some while munching on the food.
“Are you tired yet?” Griffin asked me rubbing the back of his neck like he was embarrassed about what
he was going to ask me.
“Well, no I usually wind down with a snack and a good book but if you want to go to sleep we can” I
shrugged, expecting him to want to just
tum in.
The look of relief on his face was the first indication that I was wrong about what he wanted.
“Thank the MoonGoddes I usually spend an hour or so gaming after events like this. Just to feel like
myself a little bit. You can shower first I’ ll order us food and then we can have a repeat of this
afternoon?” He beamed at me.
This wasn’t something he did for me, or to try and win me over. It was something he wanted to do. So
the fact that it was exactly what I needed. made it feel even better. Smiling I made my way over to the
bathroom. Where I showered and got dressed in my usual sleepwear. A tank top and shorts, the first
nights we spent together I went to bed fully dressed. Scared that if I showed too much skin he would
want more than I was able to give yet. By now I knew better Griffin is a perfect gentleman. He would
never force me to do something I was not ready for. As I stepped

back into the bedroom I was hit with the smell of tacos making my stomach rumble. That first day we
discussed how we both loved Mexican food. I didn’t have the heart to tell him I couldn’t eat tacos while
reading. The grease and sauce would stain the pages of my book. I wouldn’t do that with any of my
books but the thought of getting a stain on my first edition of Pride and Prejudice filled me with fear.
When he was showering I ate a taco moaning at how vorful it was. Then I got out of bed again,
washed my hands, and snuggled back into the covers. It was a little chilly now but I had noticed the
man that wouldy next to me in a few minutes was an actual furnish.
“Couldn’t wait for me to get started on the tacos? Well, I don’t me you” Grif teased me as he came
back into the bedroom.
Wearing another low–riding pajama pants, the sight of it made me drool more than the smell of tacos
was. At a loss for words both because of how attractive he was and my unwillingness to tell him he
chose the wrong snacks I just smiled at him and went back to reading. It wasn’t long before he noticed I
wasn’t eating the tacos. Just as I was about to tell him I just wasn’t hungry my stomach rumbled. So
that excuse was out of the window, embarrassed, I confessed why I couldn’t eat the tacos.
“Oh, silly I can fix that for you” And then picked up a taco and held it in front of my face.
Making sure the taco was not above my book. Laughing I took a bite this was the sweetest thing
everyone has ever done for me. Like this, I

managed to eat two more tacos. He would pause the game every time he sensed I wanted a bit and
halfway through the second one my shyness. was gone. Now I would just ask him for a bit.
When we finally both were tired enough to turn down the lights and go to bed. I knew I made a huge
mistake. One that I needed to correct first thing in the morning before I would leave to go home. This
was something he deserved to hear face to face. He has done too much for me for this to be over text
or just noticing the change in my behavior gradually until he could draw his own conclusion. But I just
wanted to enjoy tonight so I kept my mouth shut and only asked him to spoon me this night. His arms
wrapped around me and his nose buried in the crook of my neck as his silent answer and that is how
we ended up falling asleep.
