I didn’t know if I regretted giving Griffin a chance or not. Not because we didn’t have fun today. Or because he proved to not be worthy of that chance. No, it was the complete opposite. He was sweet funny and attentive. And when he put his arm around me at the IKEA I could feel the matebond spark between us. Now he offered to help Great Uncle Nic and I to put the bookshelves together. He didn’t even assume as a short she–wolf I would be unable to help. At first, I laughed when he told me how Dad had him fix the door he broke. But the fact that Luna Jenna was actively pushing Hannah on him made me think.
“Griffin, last chance are you sure she isn’t a better fit for you?” I asked him scared he was going to reconsider.
Because if he kept being as good of a mate as he was now.‘ It would still break my heart if he decided to leave me. I was aware of how hypocritical it was seeing as I hadn’t decided if I would not leave him.
He took my hands in his and looked me deep in my eyes.
“I already resent the idea of having a chosen mate, so no as long as you are giving me a chance I will take it. And not waste it on any other she- wolf. That being sad when push comes to shove and you do not want me as your mate anymore. Forcing me to pick a chosen mate it will never ever be Hannah or anyone like her.

Luna. What I need is an equal partner one that holds the same values. Ganging up on other wolves, going after someone’s mate. And seeing lesser ranked wolves as lesser beings is all the complete opposite of my values” He pleads with me.
I can’t help being drawn in by him, his aura, his scent, his eyes. So when he speaks to me again I can’t do anything else to nod again. He is right I need to give him an honest chance and if he tells me he is interested in me. I either have to believe him or flat–out reject him. I see how happy it makes him and maybe that’s why I forget to tell him I already mindlinked Uncle Nic who was happy to come over to help right away. Probably because he is excited to meet my mate. The moment I dropped that information, I could hear him getting dressed to go out.
My bedroom door bursts open, reminding me of his arrival and that I am too late to tell Griffin he will be here.
“Wow Ayla, your new mate is a step up from that slime David. This man really is a royal snack” Uncle Nic bursts out before wrapping me one of his bear hugs.
Only then he turns to a slightly embarrassed Griffin. I know Uncle Nic never meant to. But this serves as a test to me. I know his Beta had a male mate but Dillion seemed less flamboyant than Uncle Nic is. And not all straight guys can handle that. Griffin however is brightly smiling. after he was a little shocked for half a minute. Which makes sense as much as I love my Great Uncle he is a bit much. He still is despite being in his late sixties.

sorting the first box of books out so I could start putting them away as soon as the shelves were done. I kinda liked watching and hearing Griffin and Uncle Nic chat and joke about as they were setting up the bookshelves. My small room soon felt warm and Griffing was the first to take off his sweater. He was wearing a tight white shirt under it. I knew it wasn’t fair of me to just oggle but I couldn’t help it either.
