“I don’t care how sorry you are, I need that desk today” I shout at the furniture store employee who just
called me with the bad news.
Gerald walks in raising an eyebrow, I know why this isn’t like me. I’m not someone who easily gets mad
over little things. I can have a bit of temper when it’s about A. But nothing like this.
“Listen, I’m sorry my fiancee is moving in with me tomorrow, and having the desk here makes the
difference between apleted surprise or a half–empty office.” I sigh rubbing my temple with my free
hand.
Obviously happy he is not dealing with a screaming lunatic anymore. The salesperson offers to send
me pictures of desks they can deliver today that look simr enough. It’s not what I wanted but getting
something delivered to a castle in the middle of a pack of werewolves is hard enough as it is. I need to
ask the entire pack not to shift. Luckily enough Gerald said he would help me get the desk inside. I
could honestly do it on my own but that would raise suspicion with the delivery guys. As it would be too
heavy for a human to carry.
“What’s up with youtely are you this stressed about A moving in? I thought things between you
were going great?” Gerald asks the second I hang up the phone.”

He is right I have been anxious all week since the moment A and her family drove off to the White
Oak pack. I am not nervous about A moving in with me it is a dreame true. I love her with all
that I have and I can’t imagine nothing better than to wake up to her every morning only to fall asleep to
her every night. Still, something is setting me on edge. The only conclusion I can draw on what that
might be are the chances of A living here with me.
It makes me feel guilty because just like Gerald said, I should be over the moon with her moving in with
me. And things between us have been great, we’ve been texting non–stop. She has sent me every cup
of coffee she had like a countdown. Letting me know she looked forward to our morning coffees in bed.
Today was the first day we had been texting a bit less. Me with wanting to have my work settled and
her office in order before she moved in. Her because she was busy packing thest things. And getting
ready for her farewell party tonight.
So that was nothing to worry about either, and after he had seen how stressed out I was Dad had
spilled the surprise. Telling me he gave me so much extra work over the past 2 weeks because he
needed to keep me distracted from the party prep. And how I would have the first weeks off to take
A on a mate–moon.
Maybe that was what was causing me to stress out so much. We still hadn’t talked aboutpleting
the mating process. A mate–moon would make much more sense if we had actuallypleted the
process but I still didn’t want to rush her. On the other hand, I had a ring custom-

made for her. And if we wouldplete the mating process before or during the mate–moon. I would
propose to her, I was sure I wanted to marry her. Still, it would be weird to propose before I finally wore
her name on my corbone.
“I don’t know I guess I am just a little anxious about not having a timeline for everything between us” I
shrug.
It’s not like I can exin I have the feeling something bad is going to happen. Since A and I haven’t
completed the mating process yet it is very unlikely I can sense her anxiety. Even if I could, that
couldn’t be the reason. The only time where I had really felt calm were the times I was speaking with
her. No matter if it was just over the phone or if we were FaceTiming
Not wanting to dwell on the fact that I have been feeling miserable all week, I agree with Gerald’s
suggestion that it might just be because I am missing her. And I asked him to help me look at the
avable desks. He mindlinks Jessa toe over so she can take a look at the desks her best friend
would like the most. Honestly, I suspected A to ask Jessa as her Beta, or Gemma at the very least.
So I was surprised to hear she needed to find a Gemma since Krystel had agreed to be her Beta.
Until she told me Jessa wanted to be a housewife. And a stay–at–home mom for future pups. Now she
came in because her mate asked her to with a packed lunch for all three of us. I smiled because at that
moment I realized A was right, Jessa would not have refused to be her Beta of Gemma. She would
never refuse A anything but it wouldn’t have made her happy.

That’s just who A is though, she would never ask someone to give something up for her. And she is
very intuitive. Suddenly it’s like there is a voice in the back of my head telling me everything will be
okay because she is that intuitive. It’s not Conan telling me, I know his voice. it’s more like my
subconscious is telling me she will be okay.
“I keep feeling like something bad is going to happen, I fear it has something to do with A,” I tell
Gerald.
“It’s probably the Alpha in you wanting your mate to be closer. Not to me A but it took way longer
than normal for you guys to take the steps mates make. And now that you are so close to the finish
line…” He tells me in response and it does make sense.
After all a lot of behaviors and feelings I never had before got triggered after being mated to A. More
so because it took so long just like Gerald said. It reassures me to a certain degree.
“Besides A is doing fine, she is a bit nervous too the other day we were on the phone she felt like
she was being followed. She wasn’t but she normally isn’t spooked like that” Jessa chimes in and she
is right
With that settled even if my nerves still aren’t I call the furniture shop the order the desk A would like
the best. I spend the time waiting on the delivery guy to get some more work done and texting with
A. Who just like Jessa said seems to be happy and carefree. She is getting tired from all the packing
though. It makes me feel guilty I couldn’t join.

her but she has some friends and family members helping her.

That is another thing I have to keep in mind, it’s not like when she was with the Blood Moon pack
anymore. She lives with her family now in a pack that loves her. A pack that wants her to be with me
because I am her mate, and they see how happy I make her. How happy we make each other. But a
pack that will miss her when she does leave the pack. They are nning a party to give her a proper
goodbye. I might not be able to protect her right now, but not only is she smart and strong enough to
help herself. She is also surrounded by wolves who would always have
her back.
I remember the day David tried to hurt her, they were cautious about not starting a war. But they all
stayed close, by the time arrived they were all ready to attack the second they needed to. Half of them
were ready to shift. Come to think of it the fact we still not had heard from David about his parent’s
death made me more anxious too. By now everyone was certain he was about to n something. We
were all facing the reality that we could very well soon be going to war. I need my mate, my Luna, and
my Queen here. To help me lead the pack through this war, I need her here for my own sanity.

Three hourster, the desk finally arrived and Gerald had helped me put it together. I had to admit even
if it wasn’t my first choice I did well. We did well and I was sure A would love it. So I closed the door
and put one of those door bows on it feeling proud of myself.

“Are you sure that’s going tost for two whole days?” Gerald doubted
1. me.
!?
“Yes, because I made it very clear no one but A is allowed to touch it, and you know the pack will
listen to me. Most of them love A already.” I answered.
And to my joy, the only thing Gerald said before going home with Jessa was “That they do”
