Waking up this morning felt different from the other days since the party to welcome me into the pack. It had been three days and now I finally felt like I was becoming more like myself again. This all–consuming want for Griffin was no longer the only thing on my mind. I would never not be attracted to my mate. Only now I felt nervous about the upcoming trial with Hannah. I felt hungry and in need of a shower.
Not a short cold shower to regain some of my senses just to be able to have a meal without wanting to jump Griff’s bones. No, Iwanted a long hot shower or maybe even a bath. To wash the smell of days of lovemaking off me. A shower or bath that would warm my sore muscles. I meant the heat was coming to an end and I was happy about it. No matter how much I enjoyed being cooped up in our little bubble of love and lust.
We had other things to worry about, the pack had not only accepted me into their pack. Their home and family. They had accepted me to be their next ruler alongside Griffin when the time was right. It was an honor, I hadn’t been willing to take on for a long time. Now I could finally see it for what it was. A gift, one I should treasure dearly.

housekeeper and a stay–at–home mom.
That is why I declined her offer it wouldn’t be fair to any of us. Not on Jessa who would then spend a large part of her life in a job she did not. want. Not on me because I would always feel guilty about forcing my best friend into doing something she didn’t want to. And not on the pack and the country who deserved a Gemma who was all in. Someone who wanted this job to help me take care of the pack.
Her father Theo had been a homemaker by choice. That is why we spent most of our childhood there. When she offered me to become my Gemma I reminded her of that and told her she should just expect all our pups to hang around their home as the rest of us were working leading the country. Adding in the would have the hardest job out of all of them. At the time it was a joke, to make her feel better about not helping out as she put it. Now I laid my hands down on my stomach because that fantasy might become a reality much sooner.
“Did you feel anything, you shouldn’t be able to already right?” I hadn’t noticed Griffin walk in with our coffees just as I was cradling my
stomach.
Another sign that the heat was dwindling, seeing I was not hyper- focused on Griffin anymore.
