054 Griffin

Everything happened in a blur, Ayla telling me she would have been ready to take the next step. And how what I did had caused her to come back on that decision. How she didn’t wait for me to finish apologizing but how she had just mindlinked for her family to come back inside. I don’t think I will ever forget the look of disappointment she had when I told her about my overprotectiveness.

But then she showed herself to be the perfect Luna. David was a damn fool for not seeing it. Now that the rage is gone, and I can see clearly once again I pity him. Of course, he wanted her back I heard how that Hannah girl, who could have been his chosen mate was waiting in hopes that I would be single again soon. I hoped to the MoonGoddess that, that wouldn’t happen but if it did then I would still not choose her as my chosen mate. She would not make a good Luna, and everyone not blinded by rank and physical appearance knew that.

However, the moment Alpha Cedric puts down the phone, smiling broadly at us, reassuring us that it is all settled. I forget everything, I jump up and lift Ayla and spin them around. I love being able to pick her up so easily. It is when I feel her body stiffen I realize what has happened about an hour before. So I awkwardly put her down on the ground again. I have no idea what to do next. If I am still welcome at her sister’s mating ceremony? Or if she even wants me to be here tonight.

Whatever she was going to tell me, whatever was going to happen after this. I had not lost her completely she told me she was not going to reject me. But somehow her touch, her kind smile was more reassuring than her words. Or they were until we made our way to my car, the car doors were still open and I could only hope the meat had not gone bad from being out in the heat for so long. I will never know if the open car doors reminded her of what had just happened or if she had suggested helping me get the groceries out because she wanted to talk to me in private. Whatever the reason was, as soon as we reached my car she crossed her arms and glared at me.

“Grif, I want to be able to enjoy getting to know you, I may not have taken the final steps. But you see how serious I am about this are you not?” She asks me and I can hear the pain in her voice.
