As soon as I noticed that the commotion outside our door wasn’t going to stop I wanted to kill whoever
was trying to bash in our door. Ayla was too far gone in her heat now, for the next three days she would
barely be able to have a real conversation with me. Or not about anything else but me but our future at
least. As for me, I had just enough control left to get off the bed and go see who was at the door- not
bothering getting dressed, or doing anything to hide my arousal. Everyone in this pack knew exactly
what they were walking into. If something serious was up they could have mindlinked me
“Don’t Griff” Dillion called out to me as soon as the door cracked open.
He should have known it only made me more curious. As a result, I swung open the door entirely to be
faced with Cynthia. Maybe I should have covered up more because I did not like the lustful gaze she
swept over my naked body.
“You stank up the entire place with the smell of sex between you and our future Queen” Dillion spoke
as he rushed over.
While the heat doesn’t affect male wolves as much as it does she- wolves. We are not immune to it
either and with being a royal wolf. My dominance is stronger and Cynthia deliberately disturbing my
mate and me when in heat. It could cause me to lose control and rip her throat out. Dillion’s joke
brought me back to the present, reminding me of what I was doing. What I would be doing again in
seconds if I just dealt with this quickly?
“What is it you want Cynthia?” I snarled gripping the door frame. I could faintly hear Ayla moan.

With her being too far lost in the heat I could only imagine what she was doing. I wanted to be with her,
she should be doing those things. with me. Not to mention how vulnerable she was now. I didn’t want.

Dillion growled as he pulled Cynthia from the door. The man was jokes ninety percent of the time. But
he was loyal to a fault, and the anger coming off of him in waves as the insult to his future Queen
clearly left him on edge.
“Thank you, Dillion, bring her to her father please we will decide what to do when the heat is over” I
ordered him.
Not because I like ordering around my friend, but because I didn’t know what he was capable of with
how mad Cynthia made him. I was right too because the disappointment that he could not punish her
was written all over his face. All I wanted was to go back to Ayla though and see what she was doing.
Never did I expect to see her teasing me like that, playing with me like that and in that moment I got
lost in the heat too.
I woke up to Ayla rubbing up to me still sleeping. Hours ago she had passed out during her org asm. It
wasn’t even uncommon for she- wolves still it scared me for a few seconds. Until I noticed she had

yet but she was getting there that much was clear. I slipped out of bed to make us our coffee.
Determined to not even let the heat come between me making her a coffee.
By the time I got back, Ayla was still asleep, which made sense as the heat was tiring. However, she
had gotten restless without me. After

As soon as I pull out she turns to me, face calm and soft again. She mumbles a sweet good morning
into my chest. For a few moments, we do not speak, just lying here snuggled up together. Until her
stomach rumbles, Ayla sits up, so I sit up with her, handing her, her mug of coffee. Eaming me a bright

than I am. So for now I am going to leave it be. Instead, I went out of the room, to see if any of the pack
members left meals already. Sure I could whip up some breakfast for the two of us. But neither of us
can bear to be away from each other for too long. I always miss her when she is not close to me but
normally I would be more than able to be away for her just to make breakfast. But the heat isn’t just
about lust it makes everything more intense. Including how much we love each other and how much we
miss each other when we are not closer.
Luckily even with the short time we have been locked up in our chambers. Several pack members have
left meals, and talismans. outside of our door. Most I can guess who they are from there is just one odd
parcel. I just take them all inside and bring the still-hot chicken and waffles no doubt made by Milo to
the bedroom.

That is why I declined her offer it wouldn’t be fair to any of us. Not on Jessa who would then spend a
large part of her life in a job she did not want. Not on me because I would always feel guilty about
forcing my best friend into doing something she didn’t want to. And not on the pack and the country
who deserved a Gemma who was all in. Someone who wanted this job to help me take care of the
pack.
Her father Theo had been a homemaker by choice. That is why we spent most of our childhood there.
When she offered me to become my Gemma I reminded her of that and told her she should just expect
all our pups to hang around their home as the rest of us were working leading the country. Adding in
the would have the hardest job out of all of them. At the time it was a joke, to make her feel better
about not helping out as she put it. Now I laid my hands down on my stomach because that fantasy
might become a reality much sooner.
“Did you feel anything, you shouldn’t be able to already right?” I hadn’t noticed Griffin walk in with our
coffees just as I was cradling my stomach.
Another sign that the heat was dwindling, seeing I was not hyper- focused on Griffin anymore.
“No I am not, just thinking about the fact that I might very well be pregnant now” I smiled at Griffin. The
heat may have come much sooner than either of us expected.
We both have always wanted a big family, I wanted at least three pups. Probably because of how
happy I was growing up with a younger brother and sister. We all had our own friends, but still, we had
an inseparable bond. Even now that we had grown up we still did. Sure we didn’t live in the same
house anymore and we did not speak to each other daily. Not even Dan and me even though we lived
in the same pack. Still, I know without a doubt in my mind that they would always be there for me when
I needed them too. As I would for them.

“It seems like you are feeling more like yourself today?” Griffin asked as he settled in the bed next to
me.
I nodded taking a sip of my coffee just being content with sitting so close to him this time. Not feel the
need to practically crawl in his Ja p to get as much physical contact as I could.
am I think we can spend today getting our bearings, looking at all the gifts we have gotten. And let the
pack know we will be back to our usual work starting tomorrow?” I suggested being met with his bright
smile as he agreed with me
We both know that if push came to shove we would have been able to get back to the grind today if it
was needed Luckily we were in the calm before the storm, as it was good to have a day together
Where we could just enjoy each other’s company Let the effect of the heat slowly wane Not to mention
that I had seen the ridiculous amount of offerings we had The list of meals Grillin had kept that were
brought to us. I wanted to write to each and every pack member who left us a gift Either as a welcome
to the pack gift or as a blessing for our heat a handwritten thank you note
A sincere thank you, both because my pack deserved so. And secondly to show them the kind of
leader I was going to be to them. I had seen firsthand the damage an arrogant leader who values
themselves above their pack could do. It left me determined to show my pack, our pack, that I was their
equal We all had a role to play in this pack and this country’s dynamic While mine was a heavy burden
to carry, it was not the only role of importance The strength in a pack, in a country, liest with its weakest
link. There was only one Luna, One Queen, but there were dozens of warriors and pack doctors and
even more omegas Their voice could grow louder than just my voice
“Let’s enjoy one last meal made for us by Milo, and then maybe we can have breakfast in the pack
kitchen tomorrow?” Grillin suggested showing me we were both on the same level.

“Darling, there is something I need to tell you, please now I only kept it from you because of the
circumstances” Griffin started after being quiet and thoughtful for a few moments. I understood why he
had not told.
me.
After all the heat would have made me a little unstable. That didn’t mean I hated the fact that we never
seemed to be able to catch a break. I did not regret anything that happened to me or to us. I believe my
life. and experiences so far shaped me up to the person I was today. And I had no doubt it had led met
to Griffin. With that it lead me to the best thing that ever happened to me. All I wanted now is a break,
just enjoy getting to know this pack, learning how to rule it. And settle into the life I was creating with
Griffin without threats from the outside. Without people trying to mess with our relationship.
“How bad it is” I asked Griff trying hard and failing harder to keep the exhaustion out of my voice.
“Well compared to all the shi t we went through together I would say it’ s more of an annoyance than a
serious matter” His answer was humorless.
He wasn’t making a joke to downplay what had happened he seriously. thought what happened wasn’t
all that bad. It was just something he needed to share with me. It comforted me a little. So I settled
down into the cus hions of the new comfortable couch to listen to what he was about to tell me. He
started by reminding me of that first night when I had gotten into the heat. The time when he left me
alone on the bed to check out what all the commotion at our door was. I remember not wanting to get
up and check it because I was way too preoccupied by what we were doing.

“It was Cynthia offering me a last chance to be with her and not you. And Dillion was about to kill her
for disrespecting his friend, future Luna, and future Queen like that. I commanded him to take her home
to her father and he was upset he could not execute any real punishment” Despite the situation, or
maybe because of the absurdity of it, I laughed.
I could see Dillion steaming with anger, wanting to lash out at Cynthia. I also remember how Griffin had
walked out to open the door completely naked, still turned on by what we had been doing moments
before. Griffin was right it was not a serious situation. Cynthia was a nuisance but she seemed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrelatively harmless. To the point where imagining Griffin having to give Dillion commands as his Crown
Prince butt-naked made me laugh.
“So you’re not upset, with her or me?” Griff asked me.
“I am not liking her trying to make the moves on my mate. But I actually pity her. Because I fully trust
you, I know I have nothing to worry about. As for you, you’ve done nothing wrong.” I kiss his cheek to
reassure him even more.
And it seems to work, I see the tension leave his body as he settles back into the cus hions of the
couch. He starts to explain that he hates what Cynthia is doing but that nothing she does is severe
enough to warrant a real punishment. The most we can hope for is a bit of social exclusion. Everyone
knows why she had been locked up during my kidnapping. What I did not know is that most if not every
pack member had found my lack of punishment. A sign of my forgiving nature and empathy.
I honestly wanted Cynthia to be reunited with her dad, and not have someone excluded on a day that
was all about celebrating old and new bonds. I ended up portraying myself in a far better light than she
had been doing.

“Maybe we can talk to her, and have her father join the conversation. Just to let her know that we do
not condone this behavior. And warn her of the consequences. We might not punish her but it’s going
to damage her standing in the pack” I suggest, because while I cannot punish her I don’t want to just let
it happen either. Luckily Griffin. agrees with me.
“This is why I know you will be the best Luna and the best Queen I could ever wish for. Even if you still
doubt yourself some time” He beams at me.
We decided we had to wait until after Hannah’s trial though because among all the gifts left at our door,
there was one single envelope. At first, we figured it had a card or a drawing but it was nothing like that.
It was a letter from the council of Elder wolves, requesting we let them know when the heat was over.
So they could be here the next day, to start with the preparation for the trial. Both of us want to wait
until tomorrow to let them know. However, changes are they will find out that we were able to go back
to normal today. And it would hurt not just our standing with the council of elders. It would also be a
sign of great disrespect and with that, it could prove detrimental to the trial.
Not wanting to risk it, Griffin decides to contact the council right away. Hoping that the fact it is already
past noon means they are unable to make it here by tomorrow. It would be the ideal situation where we
still have some time to settle back into our normal life. Without having to prepare for a trial and without
having to lie to the Council of Elders.
“And now we wait” Griff breathes out as he closes the laptop he used to contact the elders.
He seemed a little down and I had how the last day of what should be a happy occasion. The day when
we should bond even more. Bask in how much stronger our connection has gotten during this period of
heat. Now that we are both back to our senses, is getting

overshadowed by the things we still have to deal with.
“Baby, I took a bath this morning you’re still in your pajamas. Go have a shower or bath so we can
decide on what to have for lunch after.” I prompt Griffin, elated to see that the use of the nickname still
makes him smile like that.
Little does he know that the reason I never used a nickname before was because it made it feel too
real. The lack of inhibitions because of the heat made me use the nickname the first time. That didn’t
mean it was some lust-induced thing. Something I would never say again now that I was back to my
senses again. It was a nickname I had swallowed down. dozens of time to protect my heart. But the
