Chapter 177
177 Ayla
I told Griffin we were going to bed to make a statement to Hannah We both knew
we wouldn't be getting sleep anytime soon. Next up was talking to his parents,
we needed to discuss how to welcome the Council of Elders. And of course, they
wanted to know how I was feeling. If I had decided on the punishment I wanted to
ask for.
“I don’t want her to be killed, especially since she really is pregnant. I don’t want
her pup to die because of their parents. She thinks she knows what a good
leader is, as far as I am concerned she can manage on her own let her be rogue.
I know it affects her pup but her being
too pregnant doesn’t mean she does not have to face the consequences” Not
even Griffin knew what I had decided.
Because I wasn't sure when we walked out of the interrogation room, Isabella's
question forced me to think about what I wanted to do. The words just came out,
and it felt like the right decision.
“Aren't you afraid she is going out to find David when she is a rogue? Not to
mention the fact that she might very well still be a part of his pack?” Rodrick
asked.
It wasn't something that crossed my mind, but he was right. Still, the chances of
her finding David were slim. Even if she did, she could find him and leave the
country behind like he did as far as I was concerned. The chances of David
coming back just to get his chosen mate and his pup out were even smaller.
Again if he did it wouldn't be the worst thing either, he was the country’s number
one enemy now. There was no way he would get in and out of the country sight
unseen. So that is what I told Griffin and his parents.
1 could tell Griffin was worried but they all agreed with me. I knew

Griffin would not want me to go out with bodyguards for a few more months.
Sometimes it was annoying to never be able to be alone anymore. But it was a
small price to pay. Both for my safety and his peace of mind. We talked about the
technicalities for a bit. We decided to have the kitchen staff on standby to prepare
a welcoming lunch. Tomorrow we would let the Council of Elders just decide if
they wanted a few hours or even a day to settle in. Or if they would want to start
the trial right away. If the latter was the case we would have the kitchen staff
make a quick lunch for everyone at the trial.
I was getting tired and I still needed to prepare my statement and write the letter
to officially request a punishment. We also needed to let my parents know and
ask if they still wanted to come to the trial to support me. With the amount of work
1 still had to do we said goodbye to Isabella and Roderick and then made our way
to our chambers.

“Darling, I texted your parents they are coming over tomorrow and will be here
around 10 AM too. I'll arrange for the plane to pick them up” Griffin was done with
his shower and I hadn't even noticed him walk up behind me until he kissed the
top of my head.
Nonetheless, I was super grateful he had managed to let my parents know. And
had started on transport to get them here. I would never take the jet for granted.
But in moments like this the fact that we had the jet made the distance between
me and my family feel not as big.
“I love you baby” I said stroking his cheek but without taking my eyes off the letter
I had written. It was done I just wanted to read it again, to make sure it was right.
That it said everything I wanted to tell the council.
“I love you too Darling, with all that I have and all that I am. Do you want me to
help you prepare for tomorrow?” He says still hugging me from behind.

This man is all I could ever want for,
he is making this perfect relationship.
This dream of a future with my mate
I had ever since I was a little girl
come true. Making it better than I
ever dreamed up myself. And with
that he made me so sure of myself.
And of the decisions I had made in
regard to the trial and Hannah's
punishment. As long as he was with
me during the trial I would be happy. I
would feel safe and loved and on top
of that, he had made sure that my
parents would be there too. The

I stood up and turned around to face him: “No, but thank you, Griff, as long as
you are going to be there with me, I will be fine. Right now I am tired and I just
want to fall asleep in your arms”
It was all I needed to say for Griffin to swoop me up in bridal style and carry me
to the bed. Where we did exactly what I wanted. We fell asleep all cuddled up.
The next morning we woke up early and even with Griffin still at my side I felt the
nerves fluttering around in my stomach. Reading me like an open book Griffin
takes his hand in mine and kisses the back of it.
“It will be alright Darling, I am here for you" He tells me.

And he is right so I take a quick
shower as I did not have one before
we went to bed. Then I dressed in
something that was fitting to have
breakfast with the rest of the pack.
To greet my family in and more
importantly to welcome the Council
of Elders in. If they wanted me to I
could just slip on a blazer over the
t-shirt and red pencil skirt I was
wearing and I could be ready to go to
trial in ten minutes. I loved the fact
that the dress shirt that Griffin wore
on top of his black jeans matched the
color of my skirt. He knows how
much I love to match our clothes.
Seeing him wear something to match
me on his own accord. Just to show
me his support makes me so happy.
It makes me feel loved and
supported. The content is on

With that support, I take his hand and
we make our way to the pack dining
room to have our breakfast with the
others. For a few blissful moments,
the pack breakfast made me forget
about all that was waiting- for us
today. Of course, every pack member
wanted to know how we were doing.
Mostly how the heat was, and if we
figured I was pregnant or not. It was
amusing to discuss all the
possibilities. We talked so much that
we were still talking by the time it
was 10. If it was not for one of the
guards letting us know that my
parents had just landed as the
Council of Elders had arrived we
would have missed them both. Now
Griffin rushed off to welcome the
Council as the guard took me to my
parents so that I could welcome
them. I would take them to the castle
and then I would meet up with Griffin,
his parents and the council. The
