Griffin
I couldn’t sleep last night, Conan seemed to be on edge the entire time. I figured he was going crazy from missing our mate. Missing her now I knew she accepted me as her mate. Now that the matebond was getting stronger every time we saw each other. Was horrible even worse than it had been before. Thank the MoonGoddess she will be home tomorrow.”
I stopped in my tracks as I realized I had thought of my pack, my castle, my chambers as her home. But honestly, as far as I was concerned it was. Maybe I could convince her to go shopping with me so that she would have some of her clothes here. She only left the dress for Krystel’s party here. Having more of her clothes here would not only be convenient, it would be another confirmation that we are doing great. Plus it would help keep her sent her presence here when she left to go to her home. The first two or three days the bedding still smelled like her. But her scent faded too soon, and I figured she would appreciate clean bedding so I would have the sheets washed and made tomorrow morning.
By now I was done tossing and turning to get some sleep and wanted to do something special for Ayla. I could have ordered her a bouquet and had it sent to her. But that was way too generic. Besides the flowers would last for about a week and she would be gone 3 out of the 7 days. Suddenly I remembered how me finishing the batch of Snickerdoodle cookies I was making somehow stopped her from rejecting me. A trick her Grandpa told me about as it had worked for him when he tried to please or make up with his mate. I knew Ayla would appreciate the
sentiment, so after researching an express werewolf courier I got to work. Gerald walked in as I was making the cookies.
He just got home, he and Jessa were supposed to go to bed for a few more hours. Gerald still had the day off, and since Jessa wanted to be a homemaker they no longer wanted to live in the castle. Some of the higher–ranking members of the pack had their own rooms here. They would all have a living room with an open kitchen, three average bedrooms, and a bathroom. Gerald and Jessa were planning on having a lot of pups. He told me he wanted a nice cottage with at least 5 bedrooms. They would go househunting on packground today. Luckily large homes with a lot of bedrooms weren’t uncommon in the werewolf community. Most of us loved big families as it was like a pack within a pack.
I know Mom and Dad would have loved to have more children. Sadly she was unable to. I loved the fact that the pack never looked down on a Luna that could not bear a lot of pups. Just as I know they would never judge Ayla for being petite.
“Griffin, did you hear me?”
I had been so lost in my daydream that I hadn’t noticed Gerald talking to me. He asked me if he could take some of the cookies I was making to Jessa. And if he thought my parents would permit him to build their own home if he couldn’t find what he wanted. I was sure they would but promised to put in a good word for him regardless. I was looking forward to going to dinner with them tonight. I was happy to have Gerald back and excited to properly get to know his mate and Ayla’s bestfriend.
There was a lot I had to do first though. So I let the cookies cool down enough so they wouldn’t end up condensing the Tupperware container leaving them all soggy by the time they got to Ayla. And I got ready for the day ahead of me. I wanted to make sure I didn’t have any work left to do on the weekend. All so that I could spend most of my time with my incredible mate.
