in the slimiest voice I’ve ever heard.
As if on cue both me and Gerarld growl at him. He pales but quickly composes himself. He asked us to join him in his study.
We’ve hardly sat down when Gerald speaks, not giving me the chance to do so. I don’t blame him, infact I love the confused look
on all three of their faces the moment a subordinate spoke before I did.
“You would be wise to not assume things Alpha, neither would I advise you to pressure the young she-wolfs in your pack to
attend meetings so they can be a chosen mate. Before they had the chance to meet their fated mate” He spits out the word
Alpha taking Jessa’s hand in his. His eyes flashed to his wolf’s Creed’s light grey.
This so called Alpha pales again nervously playing with his tie. His office reeks of his fear but again he composes himself quickly.
“Apologies sir, I assure you Jessa was very willing to be a chosen mate to the Crown Prince. So upon seeing her in the company
of the Crown Prince, I jumped to conclusions. I should have known our Crown Prince is the type of man who would come down
to request a mate to join his pack personally” He practically purrs.
Now it is not just Gerald who is losing his calm, Jessa and her fathers are too. And I still get it but I am not getting any closer to
finding Ayla. This time I am still in control enough to not use my Alpha’s voice. Still, the room goes silent when I shout
“Enough! Ayla Hemmings is my fated mate. Due to complications, she traveled ahead and I need to speak with her. I only came
along with my Gemma Gerald and his mate as a courtesy to you.”
David the Alpha’s son and Ayla’s fated mate rolls his eyes. And ignoring all the disrespect to not only my friends but my amazing
mate too is getting harder and harder by the second. Especially now that Alpha Phill*p tries to pawn this Hannah girl off to me
instead of Ayla.

Stating she isn’t as flakey and has a normal build. This is the moment David scoff’s that only Ayla could think she was worthy of
becoming the queen. He goes on to spout some nonsense that she is responsible for some poor omega’s death. Because the
Moo nGo ddess messed up, causing a perfect she-wolf like Hannah to be fated to an omega. Leaving Hannah with no choice but
to reject him even if it caused him to die. The door flies open and the young man just running inside unknowingly saved David’s
life.
“Daniel Hemming, how dare you interrupt an official meeting” Alpha Phill*p barks at the teenager who just stormed into the office!
In what is obviously a failed attempt to assert some dominance. All I can focus on though is his last name. He has the same last
name as Ayla, now that I look at him his eyes are the same color. Jessa told me Ayla lives with her younger brother and parents
now that her sister is recently mated.
“Hemming as in Ayla? I’m Griffin her fated mate did something happen?” I ask hoping I don’t come off as angry with the panic
rising.
“Yes, I heard you’re her fated mate and” Before he can finish now that Luna is interrupting him.
Pushing formalities onto him, snapping at him that he needs to address me by my titles. Meanwhile, I don’t give a rat’s a ss
about what he calls me. He considers me Ayla’s fated mate. I can’t think of a better future than celebrating Christmas with this
man because we are family. After quickly correcting the Luna, since family can refrain from titles. I ask Daniel if we could talk at
his home. He just nods, obviously holding back from speaking to his Alpha and Luna. I haven’t seen my beautiful mate angry
before, but just the look on Daniel’s face now shows me he is as much of a firecracker as Dillion says Ayla is.
Nob*dy speaks for the first five minutes, maybe it is a coincidence but

I am starting to think not all wolves in this pack trust their Alpha. But just as we’re out of carshot from the pack wolf. Daniel starts
talking. He turns to me eyes burning with anger he asks me if I am about to reject her too. Stating he doesn’t care for titles when
his sister is concerned. Telling me he won’t help me break her heart again.
“No it is the very opposite of that, I have begged the Mo onGo ddes to bless me with a second chance mate. So after finding out
she has blessed me with someone as perfect as your sister. I would be insane to reject her” I tell him, the others immediately
backing me up.
Including Jessa, whether it’s my sincerity or the others vouching for me Daniel visibly relaxes. He holds out his hand for me to
shake as he formally introduces himself. Then he starts to tell me he has received one text from Ayla saying she is coming
home. Because I was her second chance mate but my parents did not accept her. Since then she has not returned her, and her
phone has been shut off. He is training to be a lead warrior so one of his buddies told him I just walked into the Alpha’s office.
Then he admits he stormed into the office to give me a piece of his mind. I explained to him Ayla overheard a conversation and
jumped to conclusions. Seeing as I flew here with my beta and gemma to be, the Silvers in our royal jet he has no issues in
believing my parents fully support me now.
Hopefully, his parents are as willing to hear me out and help me as he is. Because all I can think of now is the fact that my mate
is possibly out there hurting because I messed it up. And when we enter the large cabin the Hemmings come home I find her
mother sitting on the couch crying. Her father’s face is twisted with worry. I’m not even sure if they notice me but the words her
mother utters chill me to the core. As she is repeating ““It’s my fault, it’s my fault my baby got hurt” crying in her hands. Her mate
hopelessly trying to comfort her despite his own worry tells her “We’re too late because we didn’t know if only she told us” over
and over again. My legs are about to give away under me so I blindly sit down on the chair someone offers me. So I asked her
