Normally I would wake up to the smell of coffee and the sounds. of Griffin placing the mugs on the counter. Today I woke up to Griffin cussing and running out of bed to the kitchen. It was cute. I don’t know what got into him yesterday when he clutched the onesie. He was a bit like how he was when we just met. Nervous, and only focused on making me happy. I actually like the fact that he seemingly was more at ease around me. That he was just being himself, not some curated version of himself. 

Our relationship had been a little rocky though, he was right we needed this one day to ourselves. I hoped this slight panic at oversleeping was just because he wanted today to be perfect. I’d hate for him to go back to his insecure self. Or insecure about the relationship because that was it. He wasn’t insecure about himself. He had all the confidence you would expect from a royal alpha wolf. 

“Here you go Darling, your coffee” I was so deep in thought I hadn’t noticed Griff walk back into the bedroom with me. Not until he placed my coffee mug on my nightstand. Now that I was pregnant I was very limited in my coffee intake. This morning’s coffee we shared in bed was almost sacred though. Griffin knew, so it was sweet of him to care so much about getting me my coffee. I decided to not worry about it, I would often worry about little things, blowing it out of proportion and I wasn’t going to do that again today. ·

First, we would take my family to the airport and say our goodbyes. Then we would drive a little further so we could go to a big baby and kids store in human territory. Not only was it one of the biggest stores in the state, and fairly close to us. It was just far enough so that we would not run into pack members. Of course discovering a new town, finding new places to eat at would be a lot of fun too. 

“What’s on your mind, Darling?” Griffin asked, I hadn’t even realized I just sat there in bed. Silently sipping my coffee thinking about how much fun we were going to have today. 

“Just how much I am looking forward to today, baby.” Griffin was too so we spent our morning drinking coffee in bed and just chatting about our plans. Not just for the day but for our wedding and the pup and their nursery too.

“I know you’re a smart she–wolf, but just be careful okay? Don’t forget you’re pregnant now, it’s not just you, that you need to take care of.” Grandpa whispered in my ear as he hugged me. 

I 

Much like Griffin, he meant well, so I couldn’t be mad at him. Like I couldn’t be mad at Griffin every time it felt like he was being overprotective. But it sucked, every time anyone around me was extra careful. Or prompting me to be more protective than I normally would be. It stopped me from moving on. It held me back more than anything and the only thing I wanted to do was to move on. I just didn’t know how to tell my family to stop worrying about me so much. Not without losing my cool, not without

snapping at them. That was the last thing I wanted to do. So just like with Griffin I told Grandpa I knew, hugged him back, and tried to just ignore it. More so because he was traveling back to the White Oak pack, and I had no idea when I was going to see them again. 

Even if I felt safe now like my life finally was how it was supposed to be. The kidnapping left some scars. More than anyone I knew the importance of goodbyes. When I was kidnapped by David I at least knew the last words I said to the people I loved were kind. It instilled a fear in me of being angry or saying something angry or something that made the other person feel bad about themselves.

Two hours after we saw the plane that had my family in it take off we arrived in the town that had the baby store. After such a long drive and such an early morning I was craving a snack. It still was far too early to have lunch, but to my luck, my mate was a mind reader. 

“Darling, want to go find a restaurant we can have breakfast at? I mean I am kinda hungry again and I can’t imagine you’re not?” He asked the second he parked the car. 

That’s what we did we found a dinner that served breakfast. I 

could not have a coffee with it but other than that breakfast was perfect. There was just one thing we needed to discuss that was somewhat work–related. Even if it was a personal matter too. Griffin’s gamer friends now knew what we were. Riven would get

an invite no doubt. We would invite all the Alpha’s and Luna‘ from the packs in the entire country. We had to, nothing we did was just for us. Not even our wedding, but I did not mind inviting all the leaders of the packs didn’t bother me though. I hardly knew them all but most leaders were good and kind wolves wanting the best for their packs. And we wolves know how to party. Other than the leaders of the packs we were free to invite every other wolf we wanted present.
