It was good to have it all out in the open, but still with every word I felt I disappointed her more and more. The only thing I never wanted to do was to disappoint her. Not just because she was my mate. I honestly think if I would have to pick a chosen mate, she would still be the only one I could have ever fallen in love with. She is so perfect for me that I‘ sometimes don’t understand why we are each other’s second chance
mates.
It means David was better suited to her than I was. It was always an afterthought, though. Something that popped up in the moments when I realized how perfect she was for me. I know part of her wish to be David’s mate, David’s Luna stemmed from her will to help the Blood Moon pack, her pack, the pack where she grew up was going to do better. Even as the Queen, she could have helped the BloodMoon pack Now that I ruined her chances at that, I suddenly felt the weight of only being her second chance made weight me down.
Being pitied never felt good, still, I was more than ready to be faced with Ayla’s pity. Or with her anger for absolving the pack she wanted to rescue. Not with the fragile determination she had when she told me she needed to tell me something. Like she was sitting on a huge secret without knowing what letting us all in on the secret would do to us.

When she was done telling us about how she experienced her time in a coma. I understood what worried her. As wolves, you get taught that the Moon Goddess herself handpicks the one wolf that is perfect for you. To learn it is not an exact science. To hear that not only does your compatibility change depending on how you grow and evolve as a person. But that, she sometimes picked the second–best choice for you. because of what it could mean for the pack or the kingdom. Or whatever she figured needed the help of a specific couple. It was jarring, I have always been big on traditions and making offerings to the Moon Goddess.
“How are you feeling about all of this, Griff?” Ayla asked me and I know what she meant, she must be afraid that her revelations changed something for me. Made me feel less sure, or maybe even disappointed in my faith. In my love for the Mood Goddess and our cultures. All I hear though is that I am not just her second chance mate. I am the most perfect wolf out there for her. How can I blame Selene for wanting Ayla to save a pack that was on the brink of ruin for so long? Like Ayla said, it’s not like I would have been unhappy if I found my first fated mate. I would not know what I could have had with Ayla.
Knowing I have done enough to be worthy of her in the end, finding out that with what I have done. How I lived my life only made me an event better, even more perfect mate, for he is the biggest compliment I will ever get. If anything, it took a weight off my shoulders.
