After Ayla’s long bath, we spent the morning unwrapping the gift pack members left us at the door. There are even some that
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. Some we 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 some of 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 come as a surprise to me anymore. But it seems to have taken Ayla a little aback. And I cannot
help but worry this will still one day prove to be too much for her.
Not because I doubt her ability to handle it because, I know she will/ make the best Luna and Queen there is. And I am sure I will
be a better Alpha and King because of her. She truly is my perfect mate. The one that makes me feel whole. Where I hate social
function and have a hard time hiding 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 I do. She still

thinks it is incredibly kind of my parents, my friends, and our pack to welcome her with open arms and to show her so much
what I kind and fair ruler she can be. Well everyone aside from Cynthia can see that.
Suddenly I realize that with the heat almost out of her system, Ayla ist not ruled by her hormones anymore. That means I need to
tell her about the fact that Cynthia came to my door, our door, to offer me a last chance to be with her. I hate that means I 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 time together. 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 I 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.
Surface–level perfection to be a queen, but worlds apart from what I need in a mate. everyone else saw it. Even with being
aware of how much she seemed to like me. Or more so the idea of me being with her. I never considered her to become my
chosen mate. Sure I needed to find a Luna

for my pack. A Queen for my country, but that was just part of it. I needed to find a partner for the rest of my life. Someone who
could make me as happy as I can make her. I was looking for a mother for my pups. Someone that I could just be happy with
living in a small cabin away from the castle, having our children and grandchildren over after we retired. Something I was sure
Cynthia could have never offered me. but I never made it clear enough. I 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 I had no interest in her. Not wanting to hurt her feelings I just kind of
ignored it. Even when Gerald told me her behavior was getting worse. Advised me to put a stop to it before things would
escalate. I never did, all I did was talk to Sam her father, and tell him there was no chance I would choose. his daughter as my
chosen mate. Offering him a trip around all packs to find her fated mate. While Sam had taken me up 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 me I did not explicitly tell Cynthia that she should give up on her
dream future. And now because of that, I had to tell my wonderful fated mate that we had yet another obstacle to overcome. The
guilt of what I was about to tell her settled in my stomach
like a bloke of concrete
