The fear I felt when I made the bad joke about Ayla rejecting me was almost as bad as the fear I had when I woke up. To find my personal wing empty and Ayla gone. My first thought was that she had left me. Only all her stuff was still here, my note from this morning tucked in the first edition copy of Pride and Prejudice my parents gave her.

“We are going to sell the Porsche, but I want you to have a car. I want you to be able to always come to me whenever you want to. I realized I don’t have to spoil you like you are a sweet Princess.

Another thing that made met incredibly happy. Even better when she agreed to take my card to buy herself a dress. It took some convincing but that was okay. I need to get used to the fact that I had a stubborn independent mate.

Not one of the grand balls or other royal parties we host. No a more private one just for the family. Where I can still walk around in a hoodie and jeans. Just chat with friends and family and have fun. Because

Knowing my mother I won’t have Ayla back until right before the party. And I love the fact that Ayla is so willing to get to know my family. And how my parents love her. But I would miss her like crazy. Normally before being separated for a few hours, mates would
