Last night was fun but I underestimated how busy | would be. Every pack member wanted to speak with me. Ask
fact, | didn’t see Daniél at all. And by the tGriff and | got hall we wanted to do was collapse onto the
bed and fall asleep all cuddled up together. And did, now | 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 toldthe entire kitchen staff was set on taking their day off when | was not here. So
with all those kind gestures how could | miss pack breakfast?
A pack breakfast my family and family-in-law would be attending, not to mention the first pack meal since | have
been formally introduced. Griffin practically crawled out of bed without saying a word. | 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 | 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 | still drifted asleep because the bed dipping with Griffin's wait wokeup.
“Here is your coffee sleeping beauty” He yawned showinghe was

“Thank you, Handsome,” | said as | sat up in bed taking the coffee from
his hand.
Because him being this tired and still keeping his promise reminded met why | 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

break the silence. as he placed his empty mug on the nightstand.
“This is on you, you know. It's because you are so damn perfect and so damn loveable. If not for you the kitchen
staff would have their day off” he teased me.
However part ofknew he was right, and it madeproud. | meant sof what I said to Sam last night. |
really did hope everyone in the pack would in tthink | was a great Luna and Queen. Giving them and the rest
of the country all they needed. To do that | 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 | made my way to the closet to change into something comfortable. | only washed my face and brushed my
teeth. | would just shower and get ready after breakfast, | 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 | 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, Handslook at Krystel and Danié€l” | point out to Griff.
Who when he finally sees what | am talking about looks genuinely elated. A lot of puzzle pieces are falling into
place now though. Krystel tellingthere was about something aboutthat just made her want to spend
twith me. Dan tellingthe scrunchy | wore smelled of vanilla, the scrunchy | borrowed from Krystel but
forgot to give back. And why | 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 | would have minded, still a member of the royal family finding her mate
would. be big news. They look up at us as Griff and | make our way to the breakfast table, and both their smiles
say enough.
“Now | know what it was about you that madewant to be around you, Sis,” Krystel tellsraising her hand

“I figured as much when | saw the two of you walk in, congratulations guys. | am so happy for you. And | can
honestly tell you both that you have found a wonderful mate in each other.” | beam at them.
Griffin tells them something along the slines. Breaching the topic | 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 | grew up in is in ruins
now.
“Well, | 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. | cannot just demand that position
because | am the Alpha’s nephew.” When | hear Dan tell us how his future plans died the snight as Alpha
Phillip and Luna Jenna did my heart hurts for him.
“Listen it is not the s| am fully aware, but | 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 tto 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 | am sure we will have a suitable position for a warrior of your caliber Dan” Griffin tells the
new mates.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDan 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 spack as
mine | can only hope they will grow up being just as close as Griff

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 finding a seat somewhere and then have a
conversation with the wolves closest to us. The moment we are out of earshot from Daniél and Krystel | 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 | not welcsomeone
as skilled as he is?” Griffin asks
1. me.
| could tell him all about a former Alpha who has made very skilled wolves rogues for minor things. But in a few
hours, | will be in the car home, for the last time. And | don’t want to spend that tthinking about the Blood
Moon pack and everything we fear for the future. So | just tell him | love him instead. Not long after breakfast is
ready close to my family which now includes Krystel are two empty chairs. Just as | am making my way over
there | spot Cynthia and Anna they are glaring atbut the quickest way to the seats | want to sit in is to walk
past them. So | do, | hear the two of them giggle and then everything happens all at once. One of them tripped
me, | could feel her feet, and then | 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. | scrambled up in a panic because it sounded like he was
about to rip their throats out.
