When I saw A get teary–eyed from my speech I knew I did a good job. Just like I thought they would
most of the pack weed her with open arms. I think it was good I told them a little bit about A’s
backstory. She should be the one to decide if she ever wants to tell the full story. And who she wants to
tell it to. Now at least everyone knew she wasn’t just being key or distant for no reason. My pack, or
our pack now was kind enough not to question her further.
I wanted her to have friends outside of Jessa, Collin, and my best. friends. As much as I love spending
every second together I know it is good to both have friends. People we can do stuff with the other
doesn’t want to do. Always being together sounds romantic but in the end, I think it doesn’t do your
rtionship any good. I love having dinner with her on Friday nights and hearing her tell stories of co–
workers or family Or just tell me things she has done, she will get so excited. She will wiggle in her
seat, and pick up a fork to take a bite ten times in a row before realizing she keeps forgetting to
because she is so engrossed in telling me more about her life. I want to never lose those moments.
Then there are the times something happens to me, and whether it is something good or something
bad she is always the one I want to tell first. I want to still have that excitement from time to time. Only
to know that she is waiting for me at home, so I can tell her face to face and not over a text or on
Facetime. As the night progresses she seems to hit it off with Tanya. She works at the bookstore so
they must have something inmon already. Not wanting to hover over her like the overprotective

mate I go and find Gerald and Dillion to have a beer with them. But before I can I see Cynthia and
Anna making their way over to her. Both of them look pissed about something. They have been two of
the most outspoken packmembers about the fact that I deserve better.
Not that surprising when I think back on the fact that they would always tell anyone who wanted to hear
that they felt I needed to pick someone from the Silver Moon pack as my chosen mate. Neither of them
traveled out of the pack to go find their mate even though they were neen and twenty and should
want to meet their fated mate.
One look at A tells me she knows the two are up to no good. Now I need to be the protective mate,
not that I think they will try and hurt her. I trust everyone in my pack enough not to. I just want, no need
A to feel like I always have her back because I will. Taking one big step I get next to her pulling me
flush against my body with the arm I wrapped around her waist.
Tanya who has spotted Cynthia and Anna too mumbles a quick goodbye before rushing off. I get it, she
most likely doesn’t want to get involved in the shitshow that is about to go down. Because I won’t let
anyone especially not my packmember walk all over her, or talk crap about my amazing mate.
When Cynthia addresses me pretending like A doesn’t exist I see the bright circles of grey around
her eyes. Letting me know that Willow is dying to take over. A is jealous of the fact that two she–
wolves are trying to flirt with me and honestly, it is a turn–on. So much so that for a second I am so
distracted I can’t reallyprehend what Cynthia is

saying. Something about me wanting my pack to do something.
She then tells me she feels like I still deserve better, the puzzle pieces are falling into ce now
Cynthia is using the fact that my family and I love to give the pack the chance toe to us with every
concern as a reason to talk badly about her future Queen. All I can do is nod at her because she has a
point and I can hardly tell her to shut the hell up. Especially not now that most of the pack is looking at
us to see how this is all going to y out. The more she speaks the more Conan wants to swoop in and
take over. He likes Cynthia talking to us like our mate isn’t even here less than me. I can at least keep
my head cool enough to not snap at her. Even when my entire body is tensed up because she is just
talking shit now. I need to put her in her ce but in a way that doesn’te off as frantic or
aggressive. Whether I like it or not I always need to keep my reputation and status in mind.
A finds the right words before I do, there is venom in her normally soft and gentle voice as she
addresses Cynthia. I can barely suppress the chuckle when A calls Cynthia Gingersnaps, the media
does not portray our people kindly. But Gingersnaps must be one of the worst movies of all time. A
growls thest words but that is to be expected when someone openly and tantly tells your mate
they are better suited for them in front of you. Other than that she delivers her sharp words. with a
poised elegance that is befitting a Queen. I want all of this to be over soon because her behaving so
poised and calm all while teeming with jealousy is with a need for her.

abundantly clear that for me no one can even hold a candle to my perfect mate, to my fated mate.
Neither of them seems to be pleased when I’m done talking but they both scurry off.
“Darling, you were amazing what do you say…” I start but I get cut off by Cynthia’s father rushing up to
us.
Unlike his daughter, Sam is a kind man, and soft–spoken, his mate, Cynthia’s mother died while giving
birth he never got a second chance mate. Not that I think he wanted to. So now I wonder why he is
rushing up to us. Where his daughter ignored A, Sam’s attention seems to fully be on her. Even with
someone as kind as Sam, I feel a pit stir in my stomach. Ready to defend my mate and protect her
from everything,
“Please, Princess and Crown Prince ept my apologies for my daughter’s behavior. This makes me
think I should have been stricter with her. It has just been hard raising her without her mother you
know.” He tells us earnestly.
“It’s fine I cannot exactly me her for thinking my mate is a catch because he is. And I know the way it
started between me and Griff raised some eyebrows. I am sure in time she will see how happy we both
are and be happy for us too. And I hope she finds her own mate soon, so she gets to feel what we feel”
I am not entirely sure that A doesn’t me Cynthia but she is intuitive enough to know Sam can’t
help it and is feeling bad enough about it.
“As always I am with my mate Sam. Well I do not intend to ever leave

A for anyone, I am not mad at herpse in judgment I am sure it won‘ t happen again” I smile at him
hoping he still hears the treat in my
words.
Because I will not allow anyone to talk badly about A. I just hope Cynthia and Anna won’t bother her
when A moves into the castle. She has had enough bad experiences with members of her pack
looking down on her without needing it from her new pack too. It is no longer about me being scared
she will run for the hills when my pack doesn’t ept her. I just know it would hurt her and I want to do
everything in my power and beyond to make sure A never gets hurt again.
“I love you, Darling, I am going to make sure nobody will ever hurt you again you know that right?” I ask
her the moment Sam is out of earshot.
“I know, handsome and I won’t let anyone hurt you either we are a team now remember” She says and
the joy of her giving me a sweet nickname is like nothing else.
