I enjoyed reading to James‘ son, Griff was just staring at us, I could sense he wanted to sit down next to us. Something was holding him back, and while I realized we had been able to talk about our feelings and resolve things quickly. I hated the lingering fragility between us now. Just as I was about to wave him over I saw David stumble through the trees coming towards us. Little Quinn was far too young to understand what was happening. David had clearly not fully recovered he was swaying around like he was drunk. He was about to start trouble. and I had no idea how the men of my family and my mate would reject. There was nothing I could do to stop them so I just rushed to get Quinn inside.
Griffin’s eyes burned holes in my back as I did so. The way David had run up to us made me worry so I turned on the TV for Quinn. Once he was engrossed in the kid’s show I put on I made my way back outside. Just in time to see David walk up to the outdoor dining area where we had been having dinner.
“You tried to kill me, it is an act of war but I am willing to give you one chance for a truce, give me my mate back” David screamed his words. slurred, again reminding me of a drunk.
With his Alpha blood and the fact that he was a young, healthy wolf. we expected him to heal quickly. So it made sense he was awake again, but he was far from healed and needed bed rest. Proven by some of his

I was about to speak up but Grill did before I had the chance.
“There is nothing to give away as I do not own Ayla” Griffin started
Causing David to scoff “Because you did not mark her yet, I would not have letten her get away with not obeying me for so long”
Every wolf was now snarling and growling at David, who seemed unbothered by it. His eyes trained on me as I walked closer to Griffin hoping to calm him down before he did something he would regret. When Grillin saw me approach he smiled and pulled me closer to his body. He seemed to be reasonably calm.
“I would expect no less from someone as stupid as you. Ayla is a gift from the MoonGoddess herself and I understand that you regret rejecting that gift. I should not have attacked you like I did, because your stupidity granted me my biggest wish. A fated mate as perfect as your future Queen is. As I thank you I will not murder you for committing treason, it er you for committing treason, it is the deal I made with your father. So you go ahead and provoke something that gives me a reason to go back to the deal I made with him” Even if Griffin snarled, he kept his calm.
Uncle Cedric stepped back to call Alpha Phillip without us knowing he did. Only when he walked up to David who snarled and twitched like a

“Fine, but this is not over yet” David growled at us before he stormed off
I pulled Griffin closer to hug him, whispering my thank yous in his ear. And soon this moment of tension was forgotten. Guards had let us know David had got in his car and drove off. I was a bit worried he would get in an accident like this and hurt others. But he made his own decisions. and there is nothing I can do about it. Trying to put my worries on the backburner I ended up still enjoying the rest of the night. By the time we all went to bed, Griff seemed nervous and unsure. I knew what this was about it was the first time since I accepted him as my mate that he would sleep here. No doubt, he expected to sleep in my bed here with met before our fight. He must be unsure if he was welcome in my room, in my bed now. Not wanting to make this into a big deal I turned to him.
“Are you coming to bed with me Griff, or are you not tired yet?” I asked taking his hand in mine.
“No, no, I am coming with you. Goodnight Mister and Misses Hemming” he beamed, forgetting my grandparents asked him to call them by their first names.
The moment my bedroom door closed he pulled me in for a deep passionate kiss. Pushing me up against the door, licking the seams of my lip. Tugging my lower lip, tempting me to part my lips for him. To give
