“One we both won.”

Griffyn looks happy with bright cheeks as he leans forward and presses his lips to mine.

“I told you it would be a traditional date,” Griffyn says as he holds my hand and we walk out.

“I’ve never done that before,” I say honestly.

“Me either.”

“We had a first together then.”

My smile is huge as we make our way out of the theater and behind some trees. It was dark when we arrived but now it’s pitch black.

Griffyn could probably pull his wings out in the open and people wouldn’t see but it’s better to be safe. Humans can’t know we exist.

He slips his shirt off and brings his wings out into existence.

“Ready to go back?” He asks.

I wrap my arms around him and jump into his arms before he shoots into the air.

The flight home is just as great as I enjoy seeing our world from this perspective.

I don’t want to let go of Griffyn when we land back at the house.

“Thank you for such a perfect date. I had so much fun,” I tell him.

His smile is blinding. “I’m so glad, Vixen. You deserve the world and I’m going to try and give it to you the best ways I know how.”

“I know you will because you already do. I love you.”

“I love you too, Vixen.”

I take a deep breath, push my shoulders back and knock on Aksel’s door.

When he answers, his eyebrows raise when he sees me and his lips set into a firm line. “Is there something I can help you with?”

He didn’t slam the door in my face so this is going better than I expected. Aksel is the last person I want to deal with after everything we’ve been through but he’s the person I need for this. He’s the leader of their team and has connections I could only dream of.

“I wanted to talk to you about something.”

Aksel stands there staring at me and blocking the door.

“Might be better in private,” I say.

Aksel rolls his eyes but steps aside and lets me into his room.

“You’re lucky I promised Anna that I would try and get along with you.”

Did he promise Anna that? She wants her fated mates to get to know me? My hope grows exponentially.

“Speaking of Anna, I have an idea that I need your help with.”

“Do you now?”
