Chapter 221

He stormed out of my office, and without knowing if he was happy or worried, I followed him. Dean like every pack member was a lot taller than me. He was practically running down the hallway. With my huge pregnant belly, it was almost impossible to keep up with him. Just as we turned the corner I noticed Griffin walking towards us Mike right next to him. Mike was one of the guys that lived close enough to come here by car. He wasn’t supposed to arrive for another hour.
“Mate, finally my mate” Dean said grabbing Mike’s hand in his. I know the feeling of smelling your mate for the first time. Hell. I experienced it twice, and you can not even think for a few moments. The only thing on your brain is the fact that you found your mate. Taking all that into consideration I don’t think Dean is aware of the fact that he has a human mate. Mike seems to be equal parts elated, equal parts confused and equal parts worried. Dean and I never spoke about human mates. Mike told me he wished he was a wolf too so that he would have a fated mate.
With how happy Dean was at this moment I really hoped he would not mind a human mate because it would break Mike’s heart. But I tried to tell myself that Dean was far too good of a person, far too kind to reject his mate for something so superficial.
“B–b–b–but I am a human” Mike managed to get out. He never pulled his hand out of Dean’s hands. In fact, the two of them were so wrapped up in their little bubble that they did not seem to notice the fact that I had sidled up next to Griffin. And that the two of us were watching the interaction.

“I don’t care, Moon Goddess you smell amazing, like freshly cut grass, and rain on a hot summer day,” Dean exclaimed, I was happy to hear he did not care his mate was human. I just thought they needed
to talk things through. I would be the last person to say there was something wrong with having a human mate. It was just different from being with a wolf‘ mate. Most humans do not know the ins and outs of living in a pack and being a wolf.
“Guys maybe we can?” Griffin tried, seemingly thinking the same as I was thinking.
“Is that what I smell like to you, that sounds amazing you smell good too but I can’t tell what it is exactly. My sense of smell isn’t as good as yours” There was a tinge of sadness in Mike’s voice. Dean must have heard it too because before Griffin and I were even able to try to get them to go to an office so we could all have a talk. Dean pulled the collar of his shirt down inviting Mike to smell him.
It is funny to see Mike, blush all while eagerly smelling Dean’s neck. “M–m–maybe you don’t like it, because it’s not the most manly scent but you smell like bergamot orange. It is my favorite scent, it always calms me down” Mike confesses.
“GUYS” Griffin ends up shouting, finally drawing the attention of the two guys back to us. “I am loving all of this that is happening here. But wouldn’t it be better to discuss this in an office? My office is two doors down the hall” Griflin shrugs, like he doesn’t understand why we are not in his office by now.
“Oh yes, of course, let’s go,” Mike tells Griffin only pulling one hand out of Dean’s grip. Seeing the two walk to the office hand in hand shows me things will work out in the end. As is the whispers they share between

them. Coming down to the fact that Dean is proud he smells like the one thing that makes his mate feel calm.
Once in the office, Griffin begins to talk explaining all about the choice the two of them have to make now. About rejecting and accepting your mate, how a human mate needs to be approved by the pack, the royal family and then the Council of Elders to be able to get marked.
“Are you going to reject me for being human?” Mike breaks the silence it’s funny how he seemingly thinks being rejected by Dean is worse than being scrutinized by a bunch of werewolves.
“No, never you seem to be perfect, I want to get you a little better, and I want to kiss you. Like so bad, but I am not rejecting you. I know being a mate and changing your life like this will be hard on you. But if you want to take that leap with me, I promise you I will do all that I can and more to be the best mate I can be and to make you feel welcome. Like asking my super nice, super kind boss to give me the afternoon off” Dean smiles at me, shaking my head I give in. There is a lot he and Mike need to discuss and I am sure he isn’t going to be able to get any work done
anyway.
“Thank you, Ayla. And well you never told me your name, but I’m Mike and I wouldn’t mind if you kissed me. But I think that might be awkward for you with your Crown Prince and Princess in the room with us.” I shake my head because I know what is going to happen next.
Dean gently grabs Mike’s chin, and whispers; “It is so good to meet you sweets, I am Dean” before pulling Mike’s face and pulling him into a deep kiss. Mike blushes so brightly that he could act as a reading lamp. Regardless he wraps his arms around Dean’s neck and kisses him back.

“Wolves are different sweet, we don’t care who sees, how attracted we are to our mate” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Damn, that is going to be a lot of extra work for us isn’t it?” Griffin chuckles the second the door closes. Dean is taking Mike out on a date now, then they will meet Dean’s parents. I could see that is the thing Mike is the most nervous about. Not surprising with how his parents. reacted to him coming out. The only thing Dean’s parents want for their kids is to find their fated mate and be happy together. They will accept Mike into their family with open arms. Mike immediately told Dean he would never want Dean to leave his pack behind. But he asked for some time to experience how living in a pack is. So now we need to extend his stay and let the Council of Elders know. Host a meeting so that Dean can explain to the pack why a human is staying at his place for nobody. knows how long. I just hope we can get it done in a month before I will go on maternity leave. With slowly taking over, we would handle situations like this, with all new members who wanted to become part of our pack or all human mates. Again this was something that would all be worth it though. Not only could I keep Dean as my Gemma if all went well. I liked Mike from the start, and I was happy for him he had a chance at that fairy tale love he wanted. Even if a matebond is hard work like any relationship is. I am sure they both are willing to put the effort
