    I shuddered in his arms, and he was right there behind me. But as his orgasm closed in I felt his teeth


    scrape the skin of my corbone. Where he would eventually mark me, a pit of fear formed in my


    stomach. But he would never do that right, he would never mark me without my consent. I tried to focus


    on what was happening, on asking him what he was doing. But the pleasure from his teeth scratching


    my corbone made me delirious with need. I knew he found his release too, but he just kept pounding


    into me. It overloaded my senses, I clung to his body desperate, frantically trying to match his pace.


    Another orgasm crept in and I was lost in the haze of lust and love for this man. Before I realized I


    screamed out to him.


    “Mark me, Griff, make me yours”


    He dropped his head burying his face in the crook of my neck. Sucking and licking on the now sensitive


    spot on my corbone but he did not. mark me. Even throughout another earth–shattering orgasm, I felt


    disappointment and fear bubbling up. He carried me to the bed andid. me down. So tenderly, like I


    was a precious treasure he was worried to break if he was too rough with it. before slipping into the bed


    next to me. During our love making he rushed out of his jeans but he kept his top on. Now he had taken


    it off to go to sleep, and I noticed the mark of his deceased mate waspletely gone. It was a sign of


    the bond between us deepening. Still, the disappointment of Griffin refusing to mark me was overrulling


    everything. Part of me felt relieved he didn’t, it was a heat–of–the–moment decision since I felt ready


    before the big fight.

    Completing the mating process was more than just marking each other. It would make me a part of the


    royal family. It would mean I would have to travel back and live in the castle on Sunday. Being apart


    from each other is hard enough as it is, but afterpleting the mating process it would be torturous.


    Things I was not ready for at all, Griffin used to be ready for it. For a while, it seemed like that was


    everything he wanted, and I needed to know what changed.


    “Why did you not want to mark me, Griffin?” I asked staring up at the ceiling not daring to look at him.


    “Darling, I wanted to. I almost lost control I drew blood and it made your delirious with need” He spoke


    softly tilting my face so I was looking at him again.


    “I fear you are not ready yet?” He continued.


    And he was right I was not ready yet, not all but what if I had been ready? Then he would have refused


    me for no reason at all.


    “And if it’s not like that and you are ready, give me 5 minutes and I will be ready for round two” He


    winked.


    My cheeks burned a bright red, not only did he read my mind about what was holding me back. Now I


    had to verbally confirm I was not ready yet. That he did everything right, and I was still upset about it. I

    “You’re right, I don’t think I am ready yet. I will be ready for the second round in 5 minutes though.” I


    smirked hoping to get rid of the


    awkwardness.


    Griff smiled and started kissing me, and it didn’t even take us 5 minutes. before we were ready to make


    love again. This time without the urgency of the first time, it was slow and sensual and I loved every


    minute of it. When I was drifting off in his arm a whileter I finally felt the reassurance that everything


    would work out between the two of us. Our start might have been rocky, it was not us that made it


    rocky. Things from the past kepting up but we proved that we can deal with that.


    “I love you, Griff,” I whispered hoping he was asleep and not hearing this confession that filled me with


    hope and nerves at the same time. He just pulled me closer not saying anything.

    I woke up to the sound of my rm, and it made me regret staying up sote. My bed was empty but I


    could still the warmth from where Griff had been sleeping. He must be up already, so I sat up rubbing


    the sleep from my eyes. We needed to be at the airport in an hour. Luckily I had already packed I just


    needed to shower and have breakfast but first of all, I needed a coffee to get me going.

    I turned my face towards the sound of my door opening, Griff walked in dressed in just low–hanging


    pajama pants as he carried in two mugs. The smell of coffee filled my bedroom and the smile


    spreading over my face


    matched his.


    “I figured you needed this” Griff said before giving me my mug and slipping back into bed with me.


    I could see a future like this, starting the busy day ahead by enjoying a coffee in bed together. We


    didn’t even speak much, all I did was rest my head on his shoulder in between sips of my coffee but it


    was enough. Griffin however seemed to be a little nervous.

    “What is on your mind, Griff, why are you nervous” I eventually asked him hoping I could help settle his


    nerves.


    “What if Katie doesn’t like me? The rest of your family does and it’s important for me that they do. That


    your family not only epts me. I want them to like me. I want them to be happy that I am your mate. I


    want them to be happy I ended up being your mate and not…” He stopped talking.


    It must be weird telling your mate you want her family to be rejected before. That was not what I got out


    of this though. What I got out of it was that he felt the same as I felt about his family. It wanted to be a


    part of his just as much as he wanted to be a part of mine. And it made me love him even more.

    “To be fair, Kate never liked David that much, that’s why they weren’t friends. She saw how heartbroken


    I was when he rejected me. She hated him from then on out. If she sees how happy you make me she


    will love you.” I told him making him smile


    Talking about Kate, made me realize how much I missed her. It’s normal for siblings to scatter over the


    country and move into different packs. Kate never fitted in with this pack, every time we spoke I could


    hear it in her voice. How much happier she was now, she even had a chance to be the lead


    warrior it would mean she was higher ranked than her mate. Tim being the absolute Sweetheart she is


    was nothing but proud of her.


    My little sister, even in her happiness had told me over and over again she wanted the same for me.


    Griffin was nervous about meeting a she- wolf who had been rooting so hard for us that it was almost


    comical. All she wanted for me was to find a mate who loved me as much as she was loved. Who


    supported me as much as she was supported. Even with the. bumps in the road, I found that in Griffin,


    and for that reason alone she would love him.


    “Can I get her anything as a gift?” I had been so lost in thought that I had missed Griffin getting out of


    bed and rummaging through his bag to find clothes to wear.


    “She is nothing like me, she loves training and weaponry and she is in the running to be the lead


    warrior. But I think it is a little bit short notice to get her anything” I thought out loud.

    “Don’t worry about it, Darling, I have just the thing” Griffin told me before he started tapping away at his


    phone. I had no idea what he was about to do.


    I trusted him though and there was something else I needed to discuss. with Griffin. Something I hoped


    would make him happy. Maybe even settle his nerves about meeting Kate a little bit.
