After Ayla’s long bath, we spent the morning unwrapping the gift pack members left us at the door. There are
even sthat have been sent from other packs. Most of those are from wolves congratulating us on our union
and the fact that Ayla now officially is a member of the Silver Moon Pack. With the timing of all of this the two
moments where new couples especially ones that are leaders of a pack get gifts. Were happened back to back,
meaning that we got an insane amount of gifts. Swe can not be sure of to which even they relate. Luckily
most have cards or notes attached to them. Making it easier to see what it was for and more so who to thank for
the gifts.
That is why we know sof the other packs, mostly the Alpha’s and Luna’s have sent gifts to bless our mating
too. The fact that news traveled so fast did not cas a surprise toanymore. But it seems to have taken
Ayla a little aback. And | cannot help but worry this will still one day prove to be too much for her.
Not because | doubt her ability to handle it because, | know she willl make the best Luna and Queen there is. And
| am sure | will be a better Alpha and King because of her. She truly is my perfect mate. The one that makes me
feel whole. Where | hate social function and have a hard thiding it. She loves the more casual one and is
sociable enough to make it seem like she is enjoying the grand royal events too. Just....... watching her thrive like
that makes being at a royal party so much more. entertaining for me. Nothing beats watching her laugh and
dance.
The thing is she still does not see herself the way that | do. She still

thinks it is incredibly kind of my parents, my friends, and our pack to welcher with open arms and to show
her so much kindness. She still does not get that it is because they can all see how amazing she is to me. How
happy she makesand what | kind and fair ruler she can be. Well everyone aside from Cynthia can see that.
Suddenly | realize that with the heat almost out of her system, Ayla ist not ruled by her hormones anymore. That
means | need to tell her about the fact that Cynthia cto my door, our door, to offera last chance to be
with her. | hate that means | have to interrupt this happy atmosphere. Today should be all about enjoying the
milestone we just reached as a couple. It should be spent having quality ttogether. Bask in the blessings the
others have given us for this last milestone. And it should be about dreaming about a future together and not
about the one person who doesn’t seem to accept our happiness.
Cynthia has always seemed interested in me. Or more so my title | never got the feeling she genuinely liked me
for me. Why wouldn’t she, we have nothing in common. She was attracted to the idea of being the Queen.
Objectively she would fit the bill and she knows it. She is conveniently beautiful, and strong, even with her father
not being a high-ranked wolf. She comes from a strong pure lineage. She loves. sticking her nose into other
people’s business. The only thing she likes more is hosting and attending opulent parties.

for my pack. A Queen for my country, but that was just part of it. | needed to find a partner for the rest of my life.
Someone who could makeas happy as | can make her. | was looking for a mother for my pups. Someone that
| could just be happy with living in a small cabin away from the castle, having our children and grandchildren
over after we retired. Something | was sure Cynthia could have never offered me. but | never made it clear
enough. | ignored her blatant flirting hoping that one day she would find her mate and get over this silly little
crush
for the status that she had..
Thinking it might be rude or dismissive to outright tell her | had no interest in her. Not wanting to hurt her
feelings | just kind of ignored it. Even when Gerald toldher behavior was getting worse. Advisedto put a
stop to it before things would escalate. | never did, all I did was talk to Sam her father, and tell him there was no
chance | would choose. his daughter as my chosen mate. Offering him a trip around all packs to find her fated
mate. While Sam had takenup on my
my offer excitedly. Cynthia hadn’t and had denied that the man who claimed to be her fated mate was so.
Something that might be worse than outright rejecting him And even when Sam told| did not explicitly tell
Cynthia that she should give up on her dream future. And now because of that, | had to tell my wonderful fated
mate that we had yet another obstacle to overcome. The guilt of what | was about to tell her settled in my
