“Well, it is settled then, as soon as the Council of Elders has approved of it we will change the law. So every pack needs to provide us with monthly reports with headcounts of their pack. Including, rank, age, gender, and reason for moving. As soon as John moves back in we will set up a meeting with him to offer him a role as our IT specialist. Crown Prince Griffin, since you seem to have very set ideas as to what his role would entail. Can you draft up a job description, and figure out a pay and housing. situation? Please email it to the Queen, Princess Ayla, and myself so we can agree on it?” Griffin seemed eager to take on the extra load. Probably because it was a passion project for him. 

We said our goodbyes and all walked out of the meeting room to retreat to our offices to get some more work done. 

“Mom, do you still need Ayla with you? Because I wanted to grab a bite of lunch with her back at our place?” Griffin asked Isabella, my stomach rumbled loudly at that exact moment. 

“No, you guys go ahead, have lunch and Ayla can meet me back in my office in an hour. I am going to see if your father wants to join me for lunch.” Isabella answered looking for her mate who had already rushed off. It was not like him, he would normally stick around a little longer and chat for a bit. He might have perfected the art of being professional with us. He didn’t like it all that much. That meant he would normally linger behind a little bit

Then again, he was a busy man and we had spoken this morning. In a much more casual setting. He might not have seen the importance of staying behind this time. Rodrick was a sweetheart, and he loved his family myself included. But he was ambitious and he loved being an Alpha and the King. He took pride in doing the best job he could and like his son, he needed help not to overwork himself.

“Okay so I know, mom and Dad have yet to decide if we can invite my gaming friends and their ma.. partners. But I figured maybe we could look at wedding invitations online. I will make us something to eat. Griffin suggested as we made our way to our apartment. 

Of course, I loved the idea, planning for my wedding had become one of my favorite things. Since our date yesterday, and with Griffin making a conscious effort to not worry about our safety so much anymore. We finally were at a good place again and I loved it. So now spending time together eating something simple while we planned for our wedding some more, it was the perfect break from working. Funny how days ago I had been tired of how busy I was. And now looking at wedding invitations seemed like a break from all the actual work I was doing. I guess it was all about putting things into perspective. 

Yesterday made me realize that it wasn’t just Griffin who was to blame for how rocky we had been. I went from not trusting

anyone because of my past, to constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. To deem Griffin perfect and expect him to be near perfect all of the time. I mean he was still perfect for me as I hoped I was for him. That did not take away from the fact that we were both still flawed. 

“I love that idea, but you are full of good ideas. Like when you told me I needed to go back to therapy. It has really been helping me out a lot.” I confided in him just as we reached our door and he opened it. 

He spun around grabbed me by the waist and pushed me against. the door he had closed again. 

“I’m happy to be of service, in fact, I could be of service about your physical therapy tonight.” He smirked eyebrow raised seductively. 

There was no mistaking what he meant, but I was going to take. him up on his offer. Just not quite how he liked it. Pushing up. against him, batting my eyelashes I purred. 

“I would love that Alpha, maybe tonight you and me can strip. down together” I almost lost my composure when I saw hist Adam’s apple bob in his throat as he visibly swallowed. Almost like one of those cartoon characters. 

“And then we can go on a run, to see if I can still outrun you. It’s been a while since I went on a proper run” I finished talking, voice. still sweet, eyelashes still bathing. 

A boisterous laugh burst out of Griffin, he wiped the tears from

his eyes as he told me. “We will you little tease, but just for this I will try extra hard not to let you win” With that he packed my forehead and made his way to the kitchen. I made my way over to the living room where I had left my private laptop. At first, I found it wasteful to buy a work laptop when I still had a good private. laptop. Isabella had insisted, saying it was important to have a good work–home balance. And I had come to learn that she was right. Now I could just look at wedding invitations and eat my grilled cheese without all the notifications that had to do with work popping up. 

“Baby, are you ready to” I had just cleared away the dinner plates and was about to ask Griffin if he was ready to go on the run. We said we would go on during lunch. I hoped he still wanted to go because we both had been too busy to talk about it after lunch. But I couldn’t answer that question as I was interrupted by someone knocking on our door.
