Chapter 50

Griffin 50I couldn’t sleep last night, Conan seemed to be on edge the entire time. I figured he was goingcrazy from missing our mate. Missing her now I knew she accepted me as her mate. Now that thematebond was getting stronger every time we saw each other. Was horrible even worse than it hadbeen before. Thank the MoonGo ddess she will be home tomorrow. I stopped in my tracks as I realized I had thought of my pack, my castle, my chambers as her home.But honestly, as far as I was concerned it was. Maybe I could convince her to go shopping with meso that she would have some of her clothes here. She only left the dress. for Krystel’s party here.Having more of her clothes here would not only be convenient, it would be another confirmation thatwe are doing great. Plus it would help keep her sent her presence here when she left to go to herhome. The first two or three days the bedding still smelled like her. But her scent faded too soon,and I figured she would appreciate clean bedding so I would have the sheets washed and made.tomorrow morning. By now I was done tossing and turning to get some sleep and wanted to do something special forAyla. I could have ordered her a bouquet and had it sent to her. But that was way too generic.Besides the flowers would last for about a week and she would be gone 3 out of the 7 days.Suddenly I remembered how me finishing the batch of Snickerdoodle cookies I was makingsomehow stopped her from rejecting me. A trick her Grandpa told me about as it had worked forhim when he tried to please or make up with his mate. I knew Ayla would appreciate the sentiment,so after researching an express werewolf courier I got to work. Gerald walked in as I was makingthe cookies. 09:30 He just got home, he and Jessa were supposed to go to bed for a few more hours. Gerald still hadthe day off, and since Jessa wanted to be a homemaker they no longer wanted to live in the castle.Some of the higher-ranking members of the pack had their own rooms here. They would all have aliving room with an open kitchen, three average bedrooms, and a bathroom. Gerald and Jessa wereplanning on having a lot of pups. He told me he wanted a nice cottage with at least 5 bedrooms.

They would go househunting on packground today. Luckily large homes with a lot of bedroomsweren’t uncommon in the werewolf community. Most of us loved big families as it was like a packwithin a pack. I know Mom and Dad would have loved to have more children. Sadly she was unable to. I loved thefact that the pack never looked down on a Luna that could not bear a lot of pups. Just as I knowthey would never judge Ayla for being petite. “Grillin, did you hear me?” I had been so lost in my daydream that I hadn’t noticed Gerald talking to me. He asked me if hecould take some of the cookies I was making to Jessa. And if he thought my parents would permithim to build their own home if he couldn’t replace what he wanted. I was sure they would but promisedto put in a good word for him regardless. I was looking forward to going to dinner with them tonight.I was happy to have Gerald back and excited to properly get to know his mate and Ayla’s bestfriend. There was a lot I had to do first though. So I let the cookies cool down enough so theywouldn’t end up condensing the Tupperware container leaving them all soggy by the time they got to Ayla. And I got ready for theday ahead of me. I wanted to make sure I didn’t have any work left to do on the weekend. All so thatI could spend most of my time with my incredible mate. 12 32 32 At the end of the day, I was exhausted, so much so that Mom 09:30 expressed her worries. Dad was quick to defend me stating he was the same when he and Momjust learned they were mates and did not move in together Even if it took them only four weeks todo so. “See Dad, get it I can rest when I have Ayla with me again, besides I am done for the night I amgoing to dinner with Jessa and Gerald now.” Mom seems a little more at ease after I tell her aboutmy plans.When Ayla called me during her lunch break to thank me for the cookies Krystel came over, I askedher to get some toiletries for Ayla. Giving her my credit card, and telling her to pick out a little

something for herself too had been a mistake. And I do really wonder if Ayla needs all of this.Krystel just laughed when I told her I wasn’t sure. Telling me she didn’t even get make-up becausethat is really personal. She got Ayla a Sephora gift card and was hoping to be able to take Ayla andJessa out to go shopping this weekend. While I loved that my family loved her so much. And Iwanted Ayla to have close bonds and friendships in the pack that would soon be hers. I disliked theidea of not spending every minute of our 72 hours together with her. That is why I will plan a doubledate with her. Jessa, and Gerald on Friday. That way she can have fun with her best friend and get to know Gerald better. While we are stillspending time together. I never knew I could be this clingy. I just hope it doesn’t put Ayla off *** Dinner with Jessa and Gerald started out wonderful, we went to a human diner to have beers andburgers. At first, we just chatted about our plans for tomorrow night. When Gerald asked how thingswere going I was honest. letting him know that things are great. How over the moon I am with thefact that she decided to accept me as her mate. And that I am willing to take it as slow as she wantsme to. “I just don’t get why she still can’t trust you, does she not see how much you are doing for her? Allthe little things?” Gerald ponders out 4820% III (Vouchers loud. I am not the one who can scold him for doubting my mate. Jessa does and it makes sense sheknows Ayla better than I do. As for now at least I hope that will change in due time. “David was her childhood best friend, they were thick as thieves. The three of us were but everyonearound us was convinced they would end up as mates with how close they were. Not only did hepublicly reject her, he told her in front of the entire pack. She mistook his pity for a weak wolf likeher” I can see the hurt on her face as Jessa tells us what her best friend, my mate has gonethrough.

I ordered another jug of beer, needing to wash away this bitter feeling. I have been so selfishtowards her. In my mind she just got rejected, sure the beatings were rough but it had nothing to dowith the rejection in my mind. Now I learned that David her first mate had told the pack he was doneprotecting her. Essentially declaring her scot-free to all her bullies and abusers. I was scared I madeher feel bad, as I never realized the gravity of what happened to her. All I wanted to do now was flyover to the BloodMoon pack and kill David consequences be da mned. I knew I couldn’t but the only way for me to stop myself was drinking myself senseless. As Iwolf I have a higher tolerance than an average human. Still, the server kept the beers coming untilGerald told me I had a text message. It was Ayla wishing me a good night. Through my drunkenhaze, I felt desperate to let her know I would never hurt her. When she told me if I ever made amistake I could just tell her. So I swore to her I would never. Jessa asked me not to talk to her aboutthis, not unless Ayla brought it up herself. She was right, so instead I went home to try and sleep thebuzz off so that I could spend tomorrow preparing something even more special to just show herhow much I loved her. And that she would never had to doubt me.
