Finally, after that whole ordeal with Cynthia, Anna, and Father reminding us of needing to find a Beta and Gemma, I am alone with my mate. She asked me if we could just go for a hike, we wanted to spend some time alone. With how much our pack likes her and how much they still want to get to know her. There isn’t a place in the castle or the center of the pack where we would be left alone. We could go into the human world, and leave pack ground behind but then we are facing another loss of privacy. It’s not like we can fully be ourselves when we are surrounded by humans. So going on a hike truly is the best thing we could do.

I figured that her leaving and going back to the White Oak pack to get her last belongings and settle her last affairs would be easier. That I would somehow miss her less knowing it was the last time. But for some reason knowing this is the last time has the opposite effect. All I can think about is how I wish she didn’t have to leave behind. I had to stop myself from suggesting getting some movers so she didn’t have to leave to get her stuff. I don’t because I know it is more than just moving her stuff. She is going to have to say goodbye to the pack she finally got to live with. I can hardly believe how far she has come from when I met her three months ago. I never stopped loving her but there had been moments I didn’t have faith that we could ever overcome our baggage.

“Did you hear me handsome?” Ayla’s voice interrupts my thoughts

And I am glad she did, it would be a waste of time to spend the last few hours with her, thinking about our past. Besides, maybe it is for the best she leaves for one last week. I have far too much work to join her for the entire week sadly enough. But this way I can try and have her office at the castle ready.

“Sorry, Darling I was zoned out, what did you say,” I ask her focusing my energy back on her again.

“Maybe we can go for a run, shifted?” She asks shyly.

I know she feels like her petite frame stands out even more in wolf form. To some extent it does, she has the b*dy of an adult wolf but in a flash, you would mistake her for a young wolf. All I see though is just that, a flash of Willow because there is no wolf as fast or as agile as she is. Even in her human form, she outruns everyone and I am just in awe of her. Plus she is just as playful in her wolf form as I am. Something I not only enjoy but also shows just how good we are together. That we are made for each other.

“Yes, I would love to run behind you never catching up to you for an hour or so” I chuckle

At my teasing, she turns around and strips, and shifting is the last thing on my mind right now. Her b*dy is perfection and her n*ked b*dy will always turn me on. But there is something about the way how freely she undresses now. No longer hiding her b*dy, not just from me but from everyb*dy. We are deep enough in the forest to obscure us from most of the people in the pack ground. But being in a forest on a thriving pack’s ground means the chance of running into another wolf is very high.

“Hmm, I like what I do to you but that won’t help you catching up with me” She teases, staring at my cro tch and noticing the effect she has on

me.

Before I can say anything she shifts into her beautiful wolf and starts running away from me. We have not completed the mating process because this week apart would likely be unbearable if we had. It was her suggestion and it was a smart one. One I was happy to agree to but now as I rush out of my clothes watching her run further and further away from me I wish we could minlink. I wish I could hear the joy and

laughter in her voice as she teased me about not being fast enough.

For now, I just shift, and hide both of our clothes so we can easily find them when we go back. And then I set off running after her.

It feels like we have run for more than an hour, and in all that time I never caught up with Ayla. Not until she decided to lie down we somehow managed to make it to the clearing where we held the BBQ yesterday. The air is still filled with the scents of the entire pack, smoke from the charcoal, and the savory smell of grilled meat. I wonder if she chose this place on purpose or if it was on accident.

Suddenly unlike she normally would when we are in our wolf forms she shifts back the moment she sees me.

“I can’t wait to be able to mindlink you, because I brought you here because I wanted to tell you something. So that is why I had to shift, and it might be easier if you shift too?” She doesn’t have to ask me twice, if she wants to talk we will talk.

From now on out, even more than I had before I will always do anything she wants. My purpose in life will be to make every new day together her best day yet. Ayla has shifted back and her human b*dy isn’t flushed or sweaty. I can see that even with how fast she ran she still didn’t push herself. Unlike me, so when I shift back I look like I have been working out. Which seems to work in my favor, if I go by the way she eyes me up.

“I thought you said it would be smarter not to have S**, so that we both do not lose control and mark each other in the heat of the moment” I tease her again, partially because it was a smart idea.

A smart idea that I will forget all about if she keeps looking at me like that. My teasing was successful as she chuckled and shook her head.

“You’re right and what I am about to tell you is much more important than having S** with you” She starts.

It’s the kind of thing that would normally make me anxious. Make me feel like there was something I had done to make her mad or sad. Even the times when I couldn’t help it, and her being upset was a trauma response it had always hurt me. Now we moved past that we have grown so much as a couple. I no longer feared to have serious conversations with Ayla. Because A I stopped assuming the worst, as she had started to open up to me more. And B even if it was something I had done we were now strong enough to just handle that as a couple.

“I want to thank you for last night, and everything you said. I love you Griffin and I am sorry for the person I was when we first met. Everything that happened hurt me so much. So I convinced myself I would never get a second chance mate. That I was not worth one. Let alone the Crown Prince, it’s not just about your title though you know that. Because with everything you did, you seemed to be more and more perfect. So I was so sure you would one day see how unworthy I am that I tried to push you away on my own accord. Hoping it wouldn’t hurt that much when you eventually left me. Scared that a second rejection would mean I lost my life because it would be too much heartbreak. But you did the opposite of breaking my heart again. That is why I am choosing to move in with you so much sooner than we agreed to. Because you healed me and I don’t want to waste any more time without you.” She told me with a raw and honest vulnerability that made it hard for me to speak.

I mean what could I say that would do justice to her beautiful words? All I could do now was pull her close to me and k*ss her. Hoping she would not mind it I was going to break a promise.
