“Everybody, Tim and I ate expecting” Kate blurts out the second thest
one of us is seated.
Just as it always is with the Hemming family everyone gets up in a rush to hug and tease the parents–
to–be. I love my family and I love how close- knit we are. When I think back on it, being able to have
my own family like this. A loving mate, pups who love us and each other. Had a big part to y in the
fantasy of me wanting to meet my mate. Slowly I am beginning to realize that David was not the right
mate for me. I still wonder why the MoonGoddess made that mistake, to begin with. But he cares more
about status than he does about a happy family. I used to wonder if he always was like that, or if just
started during Alpha training.
Lately, I stopped thinking about that, because it doesn’t matter Griffin isn’t like that. He is set to be a
King, not just an Alpha. Yet here he is in jeans and a T–shirt. Congratting my sister with her
pregnancy proudly telling her about his gift.
“Really, I get to train with Mike Woods? I swear A if you don’t keep this one I will whoop your ass”
Kate states half mockingly and half serious.
Griffin beams at her words because to him the approval of my family

means the most to him. Again confirming that I might not be ready yet, but I will be ready. Probably
even within the six months, Griffin has given me.
“Don’t worry I n to keep him for as long as he will have me. One day I will be your Queen though
and whopping my ass then would be treason” I can’t help but to tease back.
Griffin walks back to me and pulls me close to him.
“Darling, I am never letting you go, Darling, you are like a dreame true” He murmurs in my ear.
All there is left for me to do is to lean into him smiling. Because this man is a dreame true for me
too. I just lost that dream somewhere and was too tired to look for it.

We spent the rest of the afternoon chatting, to the point where Kate forgot to start dinner. I caused her
to break down in tears. Mom and Grandma were sure it was just her being hormonal from being
pregnant. Of course, Kate said that wasn’t the problem. She just wanted to do something special for
the first time her family was here. We all suggested getting some take–out but it only seemed to upset
her more. Until Griffin asked if he could take us all out to dinner. To congratte the happy couple. As a
sign, he was weed into the family. Our

slightly hormonal mother–to–be epted this after giving it some thought.
We found a ce that had a good all–you–can–eat spareribs deal. It was not on background so human
owned and operated. Weughed at the waiter’s confused faces when they noticed how much we
could actually eat. We were sure to leave them a big tip though, for the effort.
By the time we get back to our room in the pack house, I notice Griffin is a little tense.
“Can we talk for a second, Darling?‘ He asks me the second the door closes.
I nod, I wonder what he has to tell me, but the fear I used to feel when he would say something like that
is gone. I trust him now, the all- consuming fear that he will find out I am not good enough is gone. Not
because I feel I am good enough. Because I know HE feels that I am good enough. He has seen all my
ws and all my fears. And as cliché as it sounds he loves me because of them, not despite them.
“You know how your Cousin could wait to be an Alpha until he raised his family?” He suddenly
asks and I think I know where this ising from.
Queen Isabe had already told me I would only have a few months to get used to living in the castle
before bing the Queen. At the time I had been a little disappointed Griffin didn’t tell me upfront.

he would tell me in his own time. So I just nod, not wanting to disturb him. Something was holding him
back from telling me, and whatever it was he was ready now.
“I have been hesitant to tell you yet because I didn’t want toplicate things between us further. But I
have trust in us and our rtionship now. I know you won’t run to the hills not even when I tell you hard
things like this?” He tells me looking at his hands.
So that was the reason, he was scared it would be too much, too soon for me. So I still don’t interrupt
him. I just take his hand in mine hoping to reassure him a little. And it seems to work he gives me a
gentle smile before continuing his story.
“Don’t get me wrong, I want it all a family with you, I want to build a future with you. More than anything
in this world. The thing is we would have to build that future while being the King and Queen we would
not have a lot of time betweenpleting the mating process and taking over the throne” He finally told
me the truth, the thing that was scaring him.
“I know, Griff, that is why I have been doing training with your mother online. She is teaching me
everything I need to know about bing a queen. I still want to take it a little slower than a normal
mate would. But I do love you, and I do see a future ahead of us” I say before kissing him, hoping my
lips can reassure him with more than words.
He leaned into the kiss pulling me onto hisp, deepening the kiss. It

doesn’t take us long before we fall into the passion. We end up making love again, again his teeth
brush over the ce in my corbone where I know his name will be soon. I had started fantasizing
and dreaming about what the mark would look like. But what Griffin was doing to me. now was better
than all my fantasybined. So I let myself get carried away on the wayes of passion.

Queen Isabe had told me she wakes up at 8 AM every morning, so I set my rm. It meant I only
had a few hours of sleep. Hopefully, it will be worth it in the end. What Griffin had told me yesterday
made me think. And it made me reconsider some things. I knew the exact reason he told me about
having to be a Queen so soon was because he did not want me to overthink things. And I didn’t
really know how he would feel about this. For once I was going to do what I felt was right though.
Queen Isabe texted me back that she was able to take a call now. With that I slipped out of the
bedroom, leaving a still–soundly sleeping Griffin behind. To keep something a secret from him
deliberately for the first and hopefully,st time since I told him I was giving him a chance. If anyone
would have told me I would set an rm and het out of bed early after falling asleep at 3 AM. Just to
discuss something with my mother- inw I would haveughed in their faces. Now I was nervous if
Queen Isabe would support me in this. After all, I would be asking her to lie to her son. All while
putting a white lot of trust in me.

“What is the matter sweetheart, Griffin told me what happened with ex–mate. Did something else
happen?” Queen Isabe sounds worried over the phone.
I should have told her more about the reason why I wanted to call her.
“No, there is not it’s just Griffin, he seems a little worried that bing a Queen soon afterpleting
the mating process is a bit much” I‘ started.
“Oh, I see do you want to know what it was like for me, I mean I can reassure you or if you want I can
give you more training” Isabe replies, she is sweet I clearly went about this the wrong way.
“No, no, nothing like that, it’s just I want to reassure Griff, and you said you were going to host an event
to introduce me to the pack right? I was thinking maybe I could help host it. Show Griff I am ready?”
Yesterday when I was watching Griff fall asleep this seemed like an amazing idea, now asking Queen
Isabe I got a little nervous.
“Sweetheart, I love that idea, we could host something in four weeks. So we can over some details you
need to see in person. Have a little food. tasting etcetera” She kept rambling on getting noticeably more
