153 Griffin

Everything feels so much better now that I am finally officially mated to Ayla. I now get why Dillion and Gerald told me how much better life would be. Before now, I always thought they were overdoing it. That completing the mating process wouldn’t change that much. Sure, I always looked forward to haying her mark on me. To be able to mindlink her and hear her voice in my mind. Never did I expect that I could love her more.

That feeling all she feels for me, being so connected with her, would make me love her more. Simply because, up until now, I thought I couldn’t love her more than I already did. But boy was I mistaken, I have half a mind to beat myself up over the fact that I made the two of us wait so long. I should have just asked her what she wanted after she had. recovered enough. But it is all good now, so I will not spend time worrying about the has–beens. All I am going to do now is enjoy life with the woman I love. With my fated mate.

That is why I suggested going out to eat after we finally got out of the shower. But if Dad’s face is anything to go by, he is worried. The fact that he is happy with me and Ayla finally being mated brings a smile to his face. Still, I can see the worry behind the smile. The fact that we are mated is only going to bring extra issues to the table,

“You look like it cannot wait until after we had dinner, Dad?” I tentatively ask.

I know it cannot wait, but Ayla and I are both starving. And if this is going to be a long discussion we might end up just getting some food from the pack kitchen. Which would be fine on any other day but not today I wanted it to be something special. I wanted Ayla to feel how loved she was. Having already failed at making the moment I marked her, the moment we marked each other special. At the very least I wanted her to have good memories of the rest of the night. A night she will always remember, an example to give our future kids and grandkids to tell them how magical it is to find your fated mate and mate with them.

What I do not want for her is her memory of finalizing our mate bond is rough make–up sex followed by dinner over a meeting. A meeting about a seemingly important topic if Dad’s face is anything to go by

“Sorry, son, I am afraid it is not but it should be quick enough so you guys can go on and enjoy the rest of your night. He confirmed my fears, and I still doubt we can go in with our night after this. It either takes us too long. Or the news is so depressing, the night won’t be as we planned

But it is not like I can just take a night off from issues that are this critical. It is the biggest downside of being a royal. Showing she truly is the Luna the pack deserves, the Queen the country deserves and the mate I’m not sure that I deserve, Ayla’s voice suddenly fills my mind.

“Don’t worry about this baby, we have the rest of our lives to make memories together” Before I have the time to react, she turns to my

“Have you eaten, I could whip up some quick sandwiches to tie us over. Then we can be in your office in ten minutes” She tells him, to which he happily agrees, letting us know Mom will be there too.

Ayla instantly walks back to the kitchen, going to work on the sandwiches. I say my goodbyes to Dad before joining her to see if she needs any help.

“Sure, just pack some cookies and bags of chips, baby,” She tells me not looking up from the pan she is grilling the chicken in.

Her calling me baby is a new thing, she just started it today but I love it. Just as I love simply being in the kitchen with her. Watching her make club sandwiches for me and my parents as she is humming along to some tune I don’t even know. It hits me that my life is far from perfect. With Ayla still needing to heal, David is on the run, and the work as a royal that sometimes keep me from doing what I want to do at that moment. And yet because I am with Ayla it feels perfect.
