022 Griffin

Building the bookshelves with Ayla’s great–uncle had been a lot of fun. He was a good guy reminding me of Dillion. That combined with the fact he very loudly told Ayla I was the better–looking one compared to David made me like him already.

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

Hell as of now I didn’t even know when I was going to see her again after going back to the castle when the weekend was over. I pushed the idea to the back of my mind. Tomorrow I would talk to her, and see if we can come up with a solution where we still get to see each other on a regular basis. Without making it feel like too much for her. I was worried it might cause us to get into an argument. Or more likely for Ayla to feel insecure again so for tonight I just

Keeping myself from snuggling into her in my sleep had made my body feel sore. It was all worth it though because my beautiful Queen had not done what she said we would do. No, she was snuggled all up to me, her head on my chest and one arm around my waist. Her scent surrounding me
