“Gerald. I am so sorry I need to be here for Ayla now, give me a minute okay” Jessa told her mate.
No doubt showing my weakness, driving the point home I am truly unfit as a Luna. More and more I came to the conclusion that David was right. For some weird reason mine and Hannah’s matebounds got crossed. I wondered if this meant that Griffin was actually her second chance mate. After all if she lost out on her matebond with David because of that mistake she lost her true mate with out it being her fault. Meaning that she was worthy of a second chance mate atleast in the eyes of the Moon. Goddess. For some reason the idea of her being with Griffin upset me and Willow more than knowing she would soon be the Blood Moon’s next Luna if this weekend didn’t work out for her.
Jessa had led me to the bar and found us a somewhat secluded corner to talk. Of course she figured I was happy about finding a second chance. mate. She loved me and because of it she was blind to the fact that if I was unworthy of David, I would be even more unworthy of Griffin. She listened to me but couldn’t stop herself from interupting trying to convince me I was more than capable of becoming a Luna.
“Well his Beta to be just told me he didn’t want to have anything to do with me before. Only when he found out that the Moon Goddess paired. us together. It’s just a waiting game before he rejects me too” I sighed looking into my glass which I had drank far to quickly.
“I’m sorry to interrupt you guys and I never meant to eaves drop but that is not what he meant” The guy who walked up to me and Griffin with Dillion had walked up to us.
Up close I could see the beautiful intricate mark baring Dillion’s name. Showing me I was right and that this guy was indeed Dillion’s mate. Which he confirmed when introducing himself.
“I’m Stanley, Dillion’s mate. He has told Prince Griffin a little about you. How he figured you were the perfect chosen mate for him. Prince Griffin did say he was not interested, not in choosing a mate when there was still time left to find his fated mate. He had not seen, smelled or heard you in that moment. We figured out you were his fated mated seconds. before you started running away. I don’t know what happened before butt Griffin said you were thinking about giving him a chance. If so you atleast need to know the truth okay” With that he left us after giving one last gentle smile.
I was reeling with all the new information. It made it hard for me to know what I was feeling. Deep down I knew the easiest thing was to walk up to Griffin and ask him to talk to me. Tell him about all my doubts and asking him to be honest with me about what he was feeling. And I would later tonight, I needed some time to process all this. I wanted to get to know my best friends mate better. Most of all I wanted to know what their plans were. Only now the knowledge that my friend might move in with her mate right away was settling in.
“Let’s enjoy our night for a bit, and I promise I will talk to him later
okay?” I told Jessa.
She knew me better than anyone so she was a bit hesitant at first but finally agreed with me. When we walked back to Theo and James Silver, Gerald was deep in conversation with them. They all seemed to instantly hit it off and it made me smile.
Now Gerald focussed his attention on me, asking about me getting to know me. He obviously avoided the mates topic and Griffin. It made the conversation feel a bit awkward and forced but through it all, I could feel he was a good guy. One that was over the moon with having Jessa as his mate and it was all I could wish for my best friend.
“I will be traveling to your pack Ayla, I want to do things properly so I will ask Alpha Phillipe if it is okay for Jessa to move in with the Silver Moon pack,” Gerald explained.
For a moment I was confused but then it dawned on me, we had been telling everyone I would travel to the BloodMoon Pack with the Phillips.. To make sure we didn’t raise suspicion about my plans for after the ball. Finding out that Jessa was going to move here eventually was a double- edged sword. I thought the world of her, so naturally I wanted her to have the world. Gerald could no doubt give it to her. But how awkward would it be to visit her after Griffin had rejected me? She wouldn’t just be one of his packmembers. Her mate is one of his best friends and would be his Gemma.
“He is not gonna you know,” Gerald said shooting me a look I could only
