What I also missed was the chance to properly introduce my mate to my family. I just know that they would love her. Ayla never really introduced me as her mate she wou

would just say. My name, here he is, or something along those lines. Now dinner was almost over and I still didn’t know where I stood. What would happen after this, Nic and I said we would give the bookshelves the first coat of paint before calling it a night. And I hated the idea of having to go back to the packhouse to sleep there.

“I’m sorry you have to go back to the packhouse son, but I can’t have Ayla sleep in the paint fumes. I’m sure you get it. I cannot tell her to share the guest” Before Emmy could finish talking, Ayla interrupted her Grandmother asking her not to.

She wanted to talk to me in private so I agreed. Wondering if she was going to pull back again. Even in the few days we had spoken to each

I just wanted to make her happy, so I could prove being a good mate to her. How she didn’t ask for anything, that I remember that I almost had to beg her. With a legally binding contract, she would pay me back. I was still listing off all the reasons

Since they were just excited things were settled soon so the three of us made our way upstairs to give. the shelves a first coat of paint. When we finished Nic just drank one last beer with us. Eager to go home to see his mate, and I could not help but wonder if I would ever get to the point with Ayla. Would I ever be able to go home to her? Would she ever mindlink me out of the blue telling me she missed me? Just like Nic’s mate had done right before he went home. Hell as of now I
