Chapter 175
175 Ayla Hours passed after our lunch without, a word from the Council of Elders. As more tpassed by we were getting convinced that they would not make it to tomorrow. With not being ready to face the rest of the pack yet. Who all no doubt would be brimming with questions. We had decided to go out and finally met up with sof Griffin’s humari gamer friends. With not all of them living close by enough it would not be a full meet-up. To us, it still was a fun reason to get out of the castle, dress up, and socialize. Without the pressure of being surrounded by the pack. Who with all their good intentions would more than likely be overwhelming. It is not like the heat is something that is switched off and on again. Just like the heat would gradually get worse. It would slowly go down too, humans would not sense my arousal like that. So they would not respond toin a way that could trigger Griffin either. All in all this was one of the few times when hanging out with humans would be the better option. The fact that we planned to meet at an all-you-can-eat buffet helped too. That way it wouldn’t be so suspicious for us to eat a meal a normal human wouldn’t manage to eat. They would most likely just think we wanted to take full advantage of the relatively cheap food. It felt good just to dress up in a simple dress with booties. Not needing to go all out to appear as the elegant Princess. Griffin seemed excited too he had known these guys for years but had never actually seen them. “Wow Griffin, you look way too fit to be a gamer, but I guys you have to with a stunning girlfriend like that” Hank one of the guys from the ggroup greeted us. O 175 Ayla 288 Wouchers I felt Griffin stiffen a bit when I was complimented like that. And I was relieved to find out Griffin realized compliments like that were far more common amongst humans. Instead of going into an overprotective, overbearing Alpha mode. He smiled greeted Hank and complimented his wife. Joking that Hank had supkeep to do and then he took my hand to show the guys my engagement ring. It was heart-warming to see these guys we never met before. And who I had only
spoken to a handful of times be so excited for us. Tom, another one of the guys started playfully asking what the dress code was for the wedding. And if he could bring a plus one. This brought a problem we hadn’t thought of before. Of course, Griffin’s gaming friends wanted to be present at his wedding. The men had becclose and had been there for Griffin after I woke up from a coma. But we would just get married on the pack ground close to the castle. There was no way we would be able to hide being wolves for them if we invited them too. It’s the reason why most wolves do not really form connections with humans. Both Griffin and I did, so we needed to find out if we could trust these men with our identities. “We are just at the very beginning of planning everything since I am still recovering” I smiled at Tom. Who not knowing as a werewolf I had already healed for ninety percent at least physically. Seemed to feel guilty for not realizing I was far from ready to marry. With that all remarks and questions about the wedding were put to rest. Leaving us to enjoy the rest of the evening just getting to know each other a little better. All of us had decided to go to a bar for sdrinks after having dinner. Of course with the chance ofbeing pregnant, I didn’t want to drink alcohol. Blaming it on the medication I told the others I was taking I could avoid drinking alcohol. It was not like I needed it to have a fun night. Griffin drank a little but with him being a wolf he O 16170 175 Ayla 285 Vouchers didn’t even get tipsy from just keeping up with the others. It madefeel safe this was the first time since I was kidnapped I had gone out without a lot of people or rather wolves aroundthat I didn’t know. “I am sorry guys, I think I drank a little too much I am not feeling well so I am just going to go home and get into bed okay?” Griffin’s statement shocked me. He could not be drunk our metabolism is faster and all he had done was keep up with the others. He had gone to the bathroom I did notice. he was grayish when he walked back to us. like all the
color had drained from his face. “I received an email, the Council of Elders will be here at 10 AM tomorrow” Griffin reassuredby mind-linkingas he was looking at his feet. Acting like he was unable to stand straight or look them in the eyes. Now knowing what it was that made Griffin want to rush home. I had to hold back fits of laughter as Tom and Hank guided Griffin back to the car, claiming that an average-sized girl likewould never be able to get that giant of a man in the car. Little did they know he was an average-sized wolf. And that I even with my petite frwas a lot stronger than two human men who had admitted not to work on their condition too much. Still, I let them to not raise any suspicion and was grateful because, to them, they were doing a kind thing both for their new friend and for me. It also meant I was finally able to drive Griffin’s car. He loved it when I was his passenger Princess. He would always joke that I was the only passenger Princess who was an actual Princess. But in reality, I liked driving more, I just always let him because it seemed to bring him so much joy. Now as he was mind-linking everyone who needed to know about the Council of Elders coming to the Silver Moon pack. I could distract myself by focusing on the road ahead of me. Not thinking about what my night would look like now. 55 96% III 16170 175 Ayla 288 Vouchers I had hoped to be able to read smore and to fall asleep snuggled up to Griffin, as I was still a little exhausted from the past few days. Now I would have to spend my night informing the others. Asking my family if they were still able to cover to support me. And most of all to prepare for the trial that would forceto talk all about the experiences I had when I was kidnapped. And to think of a punishment I would request to be given to Hannah. Forher being pregnant or not would be a big part of the reasoning behind coming up with a punishment. If she lied about it, that would only mean she deserved a worse punishment. Where as her pregnancy being a truth
would makereconsider things. As that would mean I would be punishing both her and her unborn pup. “Griffin, before I decide to do anything I need to see Hannah and speak to her” I told him, and one look at his face showedhe didn’t like what I was asking him. 16:17 O
