“Why are you still in your robe Griff, didn’t you plan to see your maa..” Dad started but he fell quiet as he saw the look on my face.
His desk cracked under the force as I slammed Ayla’s letter on his desk. Screaming at him that his shouting had cost me everything. That he was the reason my mate ran away from me. Just after having decided to give me a chance. My screaming had alerted Mom, but she didn’t speak as she walked into Dad’s office. Just taking in the scene. Dad kept weirdly relaxed, this was the first time I shouted at him. The first time I showed him any kind of disrespect at all. I expected him to blow up at me, and it would cause us to physically fight, so I could get all that overwhelming anger out.
“First of all, I am terribly sorry for shouting, even more now knowing what it caused. So you have two choices, you either fight with me since that is what you came in here to do. It will damage our relationship beyond repair. And it will tarnish our reputation, which you might not care too much about now. Or you go pack a bag and go to the BloodMoon pack she
belongs to and you explain what happened. If you choose the latter I will write her a letter personally with my apologies, explanation, and the royal seal to prove its authenticity” Dad tells me in the same voice he used to comfort me when I was
only a pup.
It feels as if I’ve been held up by an invisible thread, and it snaps at the pity in his voice. I sink into a chair and bury my head in my hands. Because honestly I keep on messing up

and because I do I am unsure if she is ever going to give me another chance. Unaware that I was so emotional that my parents could hear my thoughts through the mindlink. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“I’m going to refrain from being that Mom, so I am not going to tell you that every girl refusing my precious boy is an idiot,” Mom tells me, and despite everything I smile at that.
“So I will just ask you, is she worth trying? Do you think she might be worth groveling for most of if not the eternity of the six months you have until you have to make an announcement?” She continues.
I nod before I can even form the words. I know nothing about her, so maybe it is stu pid to be so obsessed with her already. It’s just that I want to find a fated mate, it is all I ever wanted. So when I found out she is this beautiful, knowing from Dillion she is brave, fierce, or a firecracker as he calls her. A nickname he is going to have to drop the second she gives me a chance. All made me want to get to know her. Realizing the Moon Goddes did really bless me with my mate.
With my new resolve, I get up and apologize to my dad telling him I am going to pack a bag. He agrees I take Dillion, Stanley, and Gerald with me. Since Gerald was already traveling to the Blood Moon pack with his mate and her family. I love how he forgives me telling me he would have reacted the same if anyone would have come in between him and
my mom. Rushing back to my chambers I mindlink Dillion and Stanley. As I suspected Gerald and his mate are still in my study.
“Jessa you can cancel your plane tickets, were flying to the Blood Moon pack with the Royal jet. If you really feel like I still have a chance with Ayla then I am not going to give up on her” I tell her trying my best to keep the anger and panic out

of my voice.
I smile when Jessa doesn’t cower, instead, she stands a Иttle straighter.
“Can I speak freely with you Prince Griffin?” She tells me clearly sure of herself.
“Of course, and just call me Griffin your mate is one of my best friends, and my mate is your best friend so if everything goes as planned we’ll be seeing a whole lot of each other” Just saying so is comforting me.
The small reminder that there is a chance things work out too. Because there are things I have working in my favor. And when Jessa urges me to be patient with her. But only if I genuinely want to make her happen and be the mate her best friend deserves. My promise is a genuine one I make from the depths of my heart. It is also the moment I’ve grown to love ‘Jessa as one would a sister. Or a sister-in-law. She cares for my mate that much is clear, she had on multiple occasions today gone against common survival instincts to help her friend. I understand the proud smile on Gerald’s face.
Dillion and Stanley come rushing to my studies, I give them a quick rundown of what happened asking me if they want to join me. I could have easily ordered them to, but in my experience, people work harder for you if they do it out of love or respect and not fear. Even as my Beta and his mate they have lives of their own. And I would never willingly interfere with that if it wasn’t life or death. Luckily as expected they don’t even have to consider for a second. And a minute later I am all alone
as everyone is packing their backs. Aside from Jessa who has convinced me not to let Alpha Phill*p know ahead of time and now is warning her parents about the

change in plans. She also told me Ayla turned off her phone.
There is no time to anxiously go over my wardrobe now. So I just packed everything I tried on this morning. Just as I am putting the last bits in my suitcase Dad walks into the room. In his hand a thick cream colored envelope with silvery wax stamped in the royal seal.
“This is my letter to your mate, the letter itself has the royal seal too. I hope you trust me enough to let your mate open it. If not you can break the seal and still have the royal seal on the letter itself” He tells me.
Already regretting lashing out early I smile at him before putting the envelope in my suitcase and zipping it shut. I know my father well enough to know he would never write something in his letter that would hurt my chances. Or hurt Ayla, he can be a little strict sometimes but he would never be - cruel. Let alone just to be cruel. He hugs me before letting me
know the plane is ready and waiting for our departure.
I heard about the Blood Moon pack before, and I have visited once. Three years ago, it was one of the first packs I visited when I turned 18. In retrospect that didn’t do me any good. Ayla was still too young to
Sanize her mate at that time.
And even if she was she hadn’t been rejected yet and I am not her first mate. Something I am only realizing now, she had another mate. Someone who is still alive, someone I am going to meet in a few hours. All I remember is that the flight to the Blood Moon pack was long and boring. Alpha Phill*p didn’t stand out much. My parents couldn’t tell me a lot about him either when I asked yesterday. Meaning he didn’t offend my parents, or did things that caused us to doubt his leadership. He never did anything memorable in a good way either. Father considers some of the Alpha’s as allies. Close friends

even, others he sees as just subjects. Alpha Phill*p is firmly placed amongst the latter.
And it makes me wonder why Jessa was so adamant about not contacting him before. During our flight, I tried to pry her for more. Both she and her fathers told me they could not tell me. As it is part of Ayla’s story. I respect their decision. If anything I love that they are so respectful of her. It does raise suspicion that he has not been a good Alpha at the very least not to Ayla. And with her first mate being an Alpha’s son and living in the Blood Moon pack it is obvious his son rejected her, for not being fit to be a Luna. It’s going to be a struggle to keep Conan in check. I just hoped my friends would help me if they noticed he was trying to take control. Because the moment we land and rent cars to drive to the background the } atmosphere has shifted. One look at Dillion and Gerald tells
me they feel it too. So with a heavy heart we drive to the Blood Moon pack
