“Oh, sweetie sit down do you want me to make you some tea?” Dean speaks up stunning everyone in the room.
He was causing, Cynthia to skid to a halt. Before snapping at him why he would offer her tea, as she doesn’t need one. I was wondering the same thing. I would ask him about it later as he seemed so certain of his question that I figured he had a valid reason for offering her tea
“Well, my granny said it helps with a broken heart, I don’t know much about a broken ego. But you know as your pack mate I figured I would try to stop you from embarrassing yourself further. We all love our Princess, and a dozen pack mates are applying for the position of her Gemma. We all think you are a nuisance. The pack fool and honestly girly I pit
you. Even your fated mate never tried to contact you again. His smile is sickeningly sweet but his voice is dripping with acid
Krystel and the other two pack members in the hall burst out laughing. And as much as I tried to stop it I could not hold it back either:
“And who are you to get involved with my business?” Cynthia tried to save face.
“Dean is my Gemma, and because he is higher ranked than you.” Krystel and Dean turned to face me like clockwork. Cynthia stared at me with
an open mouth. And I wanted to clasp my hands over my mouth.
The answer had come out instantly, without thinking about it. But when I did think about it, I knew it felt right. All I wanted was a Gemma who would fit in with the rest of the group. One I was sure I could build a friendship with. “Dean and I had instantly hit it off. And knowing my Gemma would have my back so fiercely helped too. It was not like I blamed the other pack members for not interrupting Cynthia. It was more that everyone knew she had been harassing me. They must have known she was not here to apply for the position as my Gemma. And even if she was, it would not be grounds for her to just burst through the door.
After seeing how he reacted, I seriously doubted if Dean had let her get that far. Cynthia must have felt too humiliated she just stormed out
without so much as another word.
“Excuse me. Princess Ayla, are you serious?” Dean asked me, all of his bravado was gone like he was scared to be disappointed, when I told him I wasn’t.
“I do, you sit down I need to let the other two candidates know, and then we can discuss the rest,” I told him, feeling a bit guilty for the two girls. who had been waiting for their interview for most of the afternoon to never get a chance.

“Don’t worry Princess Ayla, we get it your Gemma and after that” Lianne smiled at me.

There was a tinge of disappointment in her voice, and her friend Jessica. seemed somewhat defeated when she got up. However, the two of them seemed very genuine and went as far as to shout a congratulation to Dean via the open door. Now all I needed to do was go over the rest of the details with Dean. Hoping he would agree to them, if he wouldn’t I would have made a fool of myself just now. And I hoped he wouldn’t feel pressured to agree with the terms now. To save me from the embarrassment.
Hearing how passionate Dean was about helping me and helping out the pack made me even more sure of my decision. Picking an unmated wolf as my Gemma was a bit of a risk, he could very well find his mate and learn they are even higher ranked than a Gemma is. We would cross that bridge if we ever came to it.
