The squabble with Griffin, completing the mating process right after that. And now we were sitting in the Italian restaurant on the pack ground. Some of the pack members had noticed our marks and came over to congratulate us. It all was lovely, but the closer I got to finishing the meal, the more nervous I got. A lot was riding on this first shift, ‘I had not lost Willow that much was clear. But I had no idea what shape. my wolf would be. This shift could determine if I would still be able to run in my wolf form. To do all the things I love so much about being in my wolf form. Running was the thing I loved most, it was the one thing that benefited from my size.

“Don’t worry darling, we have the best doctors here, as long as you have not lost Willow I am sure you will be fine in the end.” Griffin mindlinked me, he must have felt I was getting nervous about it.

I wonder if he knows how comforting it is to me to hear his voice in my mind. Or if it is as comforting for him to hear me.

Before I can ask him, though, it is time to pay the bill and leave to go to the forest.

“Please, let me pick up the bill to congratulate you two for being

officially mated,” Luca, the owner of the restaurant, said as he walked up

to her table.

He was Italian and moved here for his mate, and he had told me before he was a romantic at heart. With how bright he smiled, I was sure he meant this genuinely. I was still getting used to the royal treatment. Griffin subtly looked at me, and I loved he was giying me the chance to refuse. Since it sometimes felt a little fake and awkward for me. I had

come to realize, though, that it was the trauma from my old pack holding me back. The Silver Moon pack members were far more honest. They did not offer me gifts to bribe me, they welcomed me as one of their rulers. And with that honor came g

gifts.

“Thank you, Luca, that is so kind of you,” I told him, and felt happy to see him genuinely smile at my answer.

And I was glad I did because we had to refuse the extra portion of tiramisu. I trust Luca, I trust most of the Silver Moon pack members. The thing is, I am not ready to tell everyone I am unable to shift. So I stumble to come up with a polite reason to refuse a second kind gift of the night. Even if we accepted the first gift.

“Sorry, Luca, Ayla doesn’t want to be rude, but the thing is I have at surprise for her so we won’t be going home anytime soon” Griffin comes to my rescue.

Luca just smiles and walks back into the restaurant after saying his goodbyes. The walk to the forest was quiet and calming. Neither of us said anything because there was nothing we could say now. Not that it mattered, just walking here hand in hand was all the comfort I would ever need.

Twenty minutes later, we arrive at the clearing in the forest where I will try to shift for the first time after being kidnapped. Still not speaking, we both get undressed. Griffin has told me before he would shift first so I could easily mindlink him. If I was unable to shift, Griffin would be able to shift back and help me out.

“We can do this and I am excited to see Conan again” Willow reassures
