1 let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding when Griff told his father we needed a break. Of course, I wanted to help them. The Silver Moon pack is my pack now, Griff, Roderick, and Jenna are my family. Just as much as the Hlemmigs are. Mom, Dad, and Daniel left the Blood Moon pack too. So I should no longer have ties to the pack that has mistreated me for years. But I did and I felt bad about it, conflicted. Griffin doesn’t say anything I know he is giving me the chance to speak up to tell him what is bothering me on my own accord. I just take so long to replace the right words that by the time I do, he is about to speak

up.

“They weren’t all bad you know, we just lived like our Alpha made us live. Part of me wanting to be David’s mate was to be the Pack’s Luna, to make it a kinder pack where we would not tolerate bullying. I wanted to change the rules and make sure everyone was equal. Looking back that might have been the biggest reason to want to be David’s mate. And now I am giving up the pack. betraying them. Because Alpha Phill*p wanted everyone to mate in their ranking we have so many Omega’s some of which took on the Omega role to be with their mate. And now they will most likely die in a war because of the information I am giving them” I choked out the last words, barely able to stop myself from crying.

Still, it felt somewhat cathartic to tell Griff about all my worries. Some he never knew about. I knew he would never judge me for still feeling a sense of loyalty toward the BloodMoon pack. It was one of the things I learned right away but had the most difficulty accepting. Griffin did not judge me, he had so much fate in me, in his mate that he never judged my decisions. Even if he didn’t feel the same he would try to understand my point of view. Still, he managed to surprise me with his

“Come here, Darling, of course you feel that way. It is what will make you a good Luna and a good Queen because you care. Come on we will talk to Dad and replace a way to keep the Blood Moon pack as safe as we can okay?” He wrapped an arm around my waist, as he promised

me.

And I believed him without any hesitation. I wanted to lay my head on his shoulder as we walked back but I couldn’t quite reach it because he was so much longer than me. Something I hated before but after noticing how much Griff seemed to genuinely love the fact that he was so much bigger. I started loving it too basking in how protective it felt when he wrapped his arms around me. Or how magical it felt when he lifted me in the air to spin me around before k*ssing me. Now because of this, I felt so much calmer when we entered the meeting room.

Roderick handed me the latte I asked for. I saw how he wanted me to pressure me to talk more. He wanted to tell us to take a break later when everything was said and done. Neither did I miss how Isabella put a hand on his arm. Making him change his tune completely. Their relationship reminded me of my parents, of the relationship I always wanted to have, and that I finally had. It also made me aware of the fact that Roderick didn’t mean any harm by trying to push me to tell. him more. He just wanted to do what was best for his pack, and our country, and it made him a good king.

“I’m sorry for needing a break. I honestly in my heart feel like the Silver Moon pack is my home. I know what we are doing now is the best we can do for our country. But a part of me feels like I am betraying the pack I once wanted to help heal and grow. Especially since there are so many omega’s who didn’t agree with how the pack was run but couldn’t do anything about it” I confessed to Roderick and Isabella.

Roderick grew quiet and I could see he was thinking something over.

“What we could do is strip David from his Alpha title, so his Alpha voice would lose its power. We would need to appoint another Alpha preferably with ties to the royal family and the BloodMoon pack?” Rodrick finally broke the silence even though it felt like he wasn’t addressing us, but more so thinking out loud.

“Would your father be up to that task Ayla, he has ties with us as the father of the future queen. And he was the BloodMoon’s lead warrior, with Alpha blood?” Isabella asked me.

I wasn’t completely sure because Dad seemed to be happy to finally return to the White Oak pack. But he might be willing to if this meant he could make Mom’s pack into a real pack. Happy and thriving.

“I think he might, I will ask him tomorrow,” I told her since she knew my parents were coming over for the BBQ.

“Well that is settled then we have a plan in action. I will tell our guards. to be on high alert and up the training but for now let us enjoy our weekends. I’ll see you kids tomorrow” Roderick said his goodbyes, confusing Griff

After all, we did not have plans to meet with his parents this weekend. Roderick winking at me only made Grif more confused and we had to be careful to not give anything away so close to the finish line.

Luckily enough Griffin was in a rush to get home but I smiled and asked him to walk back to my car first. The empty shelves in the wall of bookshelves were an eyesore to me. The five books I bought had been put up with the copy of Pride and Prejudice I got from Roderick. Six books in a bookshelf that big seemed lonely to me. And with having to move all my stuff over I had decided to pack up two boxes of my favorite books, my comfort reads to bring with me. Griffin’s face almost split in two when he saw the moving boxes. Not because he

knew how soon it would be before I moved in all my other stuff. Because he knew what those books meant to me. And so he knew what it meant that I wanted to put one-third of all my books in our living

room noW.

“Are you sure you’re not going to miss these, Darling?” He asked. carrying both boxes in.

I had suggested we could each carry a box, but being the man he is. He had insisted he carried them both in for me. With his strength, it wasn’ t that heavy for him but still it was a sweet thing to do.

“No, I’ll be here often enough not to miss them, besides those other books needed some company” He raised his eyebrow at my answer.

Most likely trying to figure out if I was serious or not, and when he figured out I was indeed serious he just shook his head chuckling, and motioned for me to open the door since we arrived.

When I stepped in I was hit by the smell of spices, herbs, bell peppers, and tomatoes. As I looked around I noticed a slow cooker that wasn’t there before on his countertop and the delicious smell was coming from that. Next to it was an unplugged rice cooker. The home-cooked meal he promised me was going to be rice with some fragrant sauce. and the thought alone made my mouth water.

“You go unpack your books, Darling and I will finish dinner and plate it” Griff suggested and so I did.

I put on some music we both hummed along with while doing our chores. It felt homey, it was a domestic bliss we would soon have for every day of the rest of our lives. Despite everything that was coming our way. I knew that we would end every night here in our chambers like every other perfectly happy, couple just enjoying spending our life together, and the only thing that would make it better was when the music would fade to the background of the noise of our pups playing.
