045 A


    Luckily Griffin didn’t seem to notice something was off as we were calling. I nned to keep ignoring


    David but during the week he kept texting me more and more frequently. At first. I figured that if I just


    ignored him. Not even giving him the gratification of me blocking him. Showing what he did was


    bothering he would stop his little games soon enough. He never stopped so I decided to send him one


    reply and then block him. The only thing he aplished was that I started to hate him even more. I


    wanted my reply to hurt him withouting across as a scorned ex–girlfriend. It took me a second to


    come up with something, but when I did I smiled as I wrote the text.


    “No, I do not regret anything. you rejected me I was foolish and young and thought I was heartbroken.


    When in fact you saved me from a life of mediocrity. I would have been arm candy to the mediocre


    Alpha of a barren mediocre pack after your father burned the pack to the ground with his awful


    leadership. Now I get to live with a real man, one that can give me the world in all the ways you could


    never. I’ll be the Luna of a thriving pack and your queen so the only thing I have left to say is thank you,


    David, for realizing you were never good enough for me.” With that I blocked him.


    I was not looking forward to telling Griffin about it all but I knew I had to. We would never make it if we


    weren’t honest with each other. I knew I did nothing wrong, even if I wondered what made David


    change his mind like this. That was never about me getting back with him. Griflin had been perfect, and


    we’ve been texting every day and we face timed

    almost every night. It was amazing to me that he had such a busy schedule but still made the time to


    talk to me so often. I have never felt as seen or heard as I had since meeting Griffin and it made me


    feel like I was on cloud nine.


    “A, there is a courier here for you” Sam my employer called out to


    1. me.


    I walked to the front desk thinking it was a parcel my parents sent me. Weird though that they


    chose to send it to my work and not just to my home. The courier who obviously was a wolf too


    gave me a in- looking brown parcel. His being a wolf confirmed the suspicion the parcel was


    from my parents. They even tipped the courier, so I wouldn’t have to. Curious as I was. I ripped


    open the parcel right away. Inside wast a Tupperware box filled with Snickerdoodle cookies and an


    envelope, Even before I turned it around to see the royal seal I know who sent this to me. My


    cheeks hurt from smiling so much, and my smile only got brighter when I read the card.


    “Darling. I miss you like crazy and I am happy I get to see you again tomorrow. Here are some


    cookies to eat on your road trip. I made them. fresh at the crack of done and sent them with an


    express courier so I hope you get them in time.


    Your Griff


    1. ps. Please give your granddad a few, he was the one who told me he won your grandmother


    over with her favorite cookies and suggesting me

    to do the same. So I will be forever grateful to him.”


    I asked Sam if I could go on my break a little early, and he smiled telling me I could but it would


    cost me a cookie. He was kidding he was happily mated to and would always talk about the


    importance of putting your mate first, making sure to appreciate all the little things they do. Still. I


    had enough to share so I grabbed a few for him. He could have it now and take home to share with


    his mate and kids. Then I rushed to the breakroom to call Griffin he would usually text me about


    his day so I had a fairly good idea of what his schedule was like.


    I was about to hang up when he finally picked up the phone sounding a bit of breath. I heard a


    she–wolf in the background. As I realized for the first time since having met him I wasn’t worried


    about him having an impromptu meeting with a she–wolf.


    “Hi. Darling is everything okay you never call when you are at work?” His concern had me smiling


    again.


    This man really was everything and more.


    “Well I usually don’t go on my break early to enjoy some Snickerdoodle the best mate in the world


    sends me. So I figured I should be a good. mate too and thank him”


    He let out a breathy chuckle, obviously relieved that I was okay. We chatted for a bit, but he was


    busy. I could hear people in the background,

    heard a feminine giggle that was oddly familiar. Just not enough to actually put a name to the


    giggle. Which made sense I met a few of the she–wolves in his familyst weekend. There is no


    way I would remember all of their voices, hell I don’t think I even know all of their names. When we


    ended the call I was just happy that I felt secure enough in what we had to not panic about the fact


    that my mate was talking to another she–wolf. After eating my lunch and some cookies as dessert


    I just went about the rest of my work day. Near the end of my day. I got another text from Grillin.


    “Sorry I had to end the call so abruptly Darling. I’m very busy unexpectedly I’ll probably not be able


    to FaceTime either but I miss you like crazy. And I cannot wait to kiss you tomorrow”


    I chuckled when I realized I was a bit bummed about not being able to see Griff’s face tonight.


    When I was the one who was adamant about going slow. When I got home I told my Grandparents


    about the cookies. And of course, Grandpa was more than happy to take some. Griff and him had


    exchanged numbers too. It made sense that they could contact each other if something was to


    happen to me. But the thing is while Griff had not responded to myst message he immediately


    sent my Grandpa a reply. Granted it was a short and sweet message but still it rubbed me the


    wrong way.


    “Don’t worry about it Sweetheart, he probably just had his phone out. He will text you when he is


    free. The boy is smitten with you everyone can tell” Grandpa reassured me.


    The rest of the night I did just that. Trying not to worry about the fact

    that Griffin didn’t text me at all. I went as far as to send him a goodnight message when I was


    about to head to bed. When I came back to my room after my shower I had a notification. It was


    another text from Griffin but it was a weird one.


    “You know I would never do anything to hurt you right, Darling” Why would he be worried about


    that just when we doing better than ever?


    “I know you wouldn’t, but if you ever make a mistake please be honest. and tell me okay?”


    This time his answer was quick, but I couldn’t decipher if his denial was about the fact he wouldn’t


    make a mistake. Or that he wouldn’t fess up to it. My initial response was to call him, and demand


    we FaceTimed. That weird jealousy ring up again. Pushing that down I didn’t answer the text


    and just tried to get some sleep. Which was hard as my mind kept drifting back to Griff and the


    weird conversation we had ever since I called him to thank him for the cookies. I tried to convince


    myself that. the same man who got up at the crack of dawn to surprise me would never cheat on


    me on the same day. Or ever at all for that matter. Still, I woke up feeling tired and drained the next


    morning. By the time I was ready to drive there another day with a lot of silence had passed. I


    wouldn’t run away anymore or assume the worst. So I just got in my car and drove there as


    promised, but the entire four hour’s drive there was an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.
