Last night was fun but I underestimated how busy I would be. Every pack member wanted to speak with me. Ask me questions, apart from Cynthia and Anna they all seemed kind and welcoming. Still, I hardly saw my family, in fact, I didn’t see Daniël at all. And by the time Griff and I got home all we wanted to do was collapse onto the bed and fall asleep all cuddled up together. And did, now I was waking up to the sound of my alarm again still a bit tired. Milo had told Griffin he was making everyone waffles and chicken for pack breakfast today since it was my favorite. Isabella had told me the entire kitchen staff was set on taking their day off when I was not here. So with all those kind gestures how could I miss pack breakfast?

A pack breakfast my family and family-in-law would be attending, not to mention the first pack meal since I have been formally introduced. Griffin practically crawled out of bed without saying a word. I figured he needed to pee. And was too tired to remember his promise about coffee in bed for the rest of our lives. But just as I was about to get up the delicious smell of fresh coffee brewing drifted into the bedroom. So I snuggled back into the pillows almost sleeping waiting for my mate and my coffee.

Somehow I still drifted asleep because the bed dipping with Griffin’s wait woke me up.

“Here is your coffee sleeping beauty” He yawned showing me he was just as tired.

“Thank you, Handsome,” I said as I sat up in bed taking the coffee from

his hand.

Because him being this tired and still keeping his promise reminded

me why I didn’t need the six months. Griffin Taylor was the best thing that ever happened to me. Normally we would chat during our morning coffee. Today we sat in a comfortable silence savoring the peace and quiet for a few more moments. Griffin was the first to break the silence as he placed his empty mug on the nightstand.

“This is on you, you know. It’s because you are so dam n perfect and so da mn loveable. If not for you the kitchen staff would have their day off” he teased me.

However part of me knew he was right, and it made me proud. I meant some of what I said to Sam last night. I really did hope everyone in the pack would in time think I was a great Luna and Queen. Giving them and the rest of the country all they needed. To do that I need them to trust me, and there is no better way to build trust with a bunch of werewolves than to share food with them.

So I made my way to the closet to change into something comfortable. I only washed my face and brushed my teeth. I would just shower and get ready after breakfast, I was way too tired to rush now.

Thirty minutes later we made our way to the kitchen, the smell of chicken and waffles immediately hitting my nostrils making my mouth water. And where I didn’t see Dan at all last night, now he was the first person I saw. Him and the person next to him. Suddenly everything made sense.

“What is going on, Darling what are you smiling at?” Griffin asked not having noticed Dan and Krystel.

“I think I am not the only Hemming mated to a Taylor, Handsome look at Krystel and Daniël” I point out to Griff.

Who when he finally sees what I am talking about looks genuinely

elated. A lot of puzzle pieces are falling into place now though. Krystel telling me there was about something about me that just made her want to spend time with me. Dan telling me the scrunchy I wore smelled of vanilla, the scrunchy I borrowed from Krystel but forgot to give back. And why I did not see either of them last night. Knowing Dan, he did not want last night, my special night to be about them. Not that I would have minded, still a member of the royal family replaceing her mate would be big news. They look up at us as Griff and I make our way to the breakfast table, and both their smiles say enough.

“Now I know what it was about you that made me want to be around you, Sis,” Krystel tells me raising her hand to show she is holding Daniël’s

“I figured as much when I saw the two of you walk in, congratulations guys. I am so happy for you. And I can honestly tell you both that you have found a wonderful mate in each other.” I beam at them.

Griffin tells them something along the same lines. Breaching the topic I was avoiding. The topic of which pack they are going to live in. Because that means we have to discuss the fact that Krystel has lived here her entire life. And that the pack where Dan and I grew up in is in ruins now.

“Well, I was set to be Blood Moon’s next lead warrior as soon as Dad retired. But that is out of the question now. The White Oak pack already has a lead warrior and a second in command. I cannot just demand that position because I am the Alpha’s nephew.” When I hear Dan tell us how his future plans died the same night as Alpha Phill*p and Luna Jenna did my heart hurts for him.

“Listen it is not the same I am fully aware, but I get to pick my own security detail and that of my queen-to-be. And we have the special royal army that we send out to help packs in need from time to time. So you guys just think about it. You should just join the Hemmings for

a visit at the White Oak pack Krys, and if you guys want to live here. Well then I am sure we will have a suitable position for a warrior of your caliber Dan” Griffin tells the new mates.

Dan smiles so brightly his cheeks must hurt, and Krystel looks up to her older cousin with so much love and admiration that it warms my heart. Now that the changes are that Dan’s pups will grow up in the same pack as mine I can only hope they will grow up being just as close as Griff and Krystel are.

Before we settle down to eat we make our rounds, pack members still want to congratulate us. And the table is too long to be able to chat with everyone. We will end up replaceing a seat somewhere and then have a conversation with the wolves closest to us. The moment we are out of earshot from Daniël and Krystel I face Griff to thank him for what he is willing to do for my brother.

“Don’t it’s not just about being a good mate, it is being a smart leader too. Why would I not welcome someone as skilled as he is?” Griffin asks me.

I could tell him all about a former Alpha who has made very skilled wolves rogues for minor things. But in a few hours, I will be in the car home, for the last time. And I don’t want to spend that time thinking about the Blood Moon pack and everything we fear for the future. So I just tell him I love him instead. Not long after breakfast is ready close to my family which now includes Krystel are two empty chairs. Just as I am making my way over there I spot Cynthia and Anna they are glaring at me but the quickest way to the seats I want to sit in is to walk past them. So I do, I hear the two of them giggle and then everything happens all at once. One of them tripped me, I could feel her feet, and then I was airborne for a second before falling to the ground. One of the girls giggled but they were cut off by Griffin’s vicious growl. I scrambled up in a panic because it sounded like he was about to rip their throats out.
