It was good to have it all out in the open, but still with every word I felt | disappointed her more and more. The
only thing | never wanted to do was to disappoint her. Not just because she was my mate. | honestly think if |
would have to pick a chosen mate, she would still be the only one I could have ever fallen in love with. She is so
perfect forthat I sometimes don’t understand why we are each other's second chance
mates.
It means David was better suited to her than | was. It was always an afterthought, though. Something that
popped up in the moments when | realized how perfect she was for me. | know part of her wish to be David's
mate, David's Luna stemmed from her will to help the Blood Moon pack, her pack, the pack where she grew up
was going to do better. Even as the Queen, she could have helped the BloodMoon pack Now that | ruined her
chances at that, | suddenly felt the weight of only being her second chance made weightdown.
Being pitied never felt good, still, | was more than ready to be faced with Ayla’s pity. Or with her anger for
absolving the pack she wanted to rescue. Not with the fragile determination she had when she toldshe
needed to tellsomething. Like she was sitting on a huge secret without knowing what letting us all in on the
secret would do to us.

When she was done telling us about how she experienced her tin a coma. | understood what worried her. As
wolves, you get taught that the Moon Goddess herself handpicks the one wolf that is perfect for you. To learn it is
not an exact science. To hear that not only does your compatibility change depending on how you grow and
evolve as a person. But that, she sometimes picked the second-best choice for you. because of what it could
mean for the pack or the kingdom. Or whatever she figured needed the help of a specific couple. It was jarring, |
have always been big on traditions and making offerings to the Moon Goddess.
“How are you feeling about all of this, Griff?” Ayla askedand | know what she meant, she must be afraid that
her revelations changed something for me. Madefeel less sure, or maybe even disappointed in my faith. In
my love for the Mood Goddess and our cultures. All | hear though is that | am not just her second chance mate. |
am the most perfect wolf out there for her. How can | blSelene for wanting Ayla to save a pack that was on
the brink of ruin for so long? Like Ayla said, it’s not like | would have been unhappy if | found my first fated mate.
I would not know what I could have had with Ayla.
Knowing | have done enough to be worthy of her in the end, finding out that with what | have done. How | lived
my life only madean event better, even more perfect mate, for he is the biggest compliment | will ever get.
If anything, it took a weight off my shoulders.

learned the truth about how being mates works. Things were slowly getting better, for the two of us. And for the
people depending on us. Ayla had gotten back to her Luna and Queen training. Part-time, though, because she
made sure to see a werewolf therapist every week and go to physical therapy on all the other weekdays.
We still kept our promise to make sure we took the weekends off to have tfor each other. Those weekends
were bittersweet. Being able to just spend twith her was amazing. | loved being able to spend twith
them, not having to worry about anything. It didn’t matter if we would just spend the entire weekend staying in.
Going on dates, the two of us, or if we spend twith our friends and families. It was always a good time,
reminding us both of how life used to be before all of this:
One thing was becoming a struggle though, | was unsure how long | could keep holding back on this attraction |
still had towards her. The urge to mark her as mine was always on my mind. I still did not want to bother her with
it. David had toldshe planned to complete the mating process the day she would permanently move into the
castle. Since she got back, | never heard from her about completing the mating process again. She would be the
one to initiate intimacy between us. Yet she never said anything when | stopped at just kissing her.
Confirming forthat she did not want to go any further either. It was another Friday again, another weekend
where we would spend all of our ttogether. Tonight was the first tshe was going to try to shift. She asked
would | always do everything I could to support Ayla in a tlike this. Conan was more

than eager to see Willow again, too, and I could not blhim. He must have missed his mate as much as |
missed mine.
Still, with Ayla does not officially break her connection with the White Oak pack to form a connection with the
Silver Moon pack. And with us still not having completed the mating process means we still cannot mindlink.
Which in turn means we cannot communicate when we are in our wolf form. A scary thought, because if
something goes wrong now, there is no way she can letknow. And I still long to hear her beautiful voice in
my mind, | want to be able to communicate with her no matter what, no matter the form we are in..
After our morning coffee, | have been able to drown myself in work. Claiming | needed to make sure that | was
able to take the weekend off. Ayla did not seem happy with it, she knowsso well that she probably knows |
am lying. Maybe | should just confess to her what is on my mind soon. Just not a weekend that is so special and
so scary as this weekend is. The sound of a text pullsfrom my worries because the irony is that | haven't
gotten anything done with all this worrying.
“Griff, you seem to be too busy, and maybe | am better off shifting again for the first twith someone who
wants the ability to mindlink me. Don’t rush your work, | think I am just going to ask Jessa. | love you Ayla XXX"
The text is sweet enough, but | do not miss the implication that | do not want to be able to mindlink with her. So |
rush out of my office to go and find her and talk this over once and for all. There is no way | will let
my mate think | do not want to be with her in that way.
