Griffin It’s been nearly two weeks since I left Atlas’s room and started sleeping in one of the guest rooms. My mate and I have said very little to each other in that time. I have hardly slept as my wolf craved contact with her mate. I had to admit I missed sleeping on top of him. But the warmth and comfort he provided weren’t enough to get past our glaring issues. I needed to be his equal and partner and not just a vessel for his heirs. The alarm went off on my clock, and I smacked it off the nightstand. It feels like I had just barely gotten to sleep. I opened my eyes, and my head hurt. I rose slowly from the bed and felt mildly dizzy. Quickly I stumbled into the small bathroom to take my quick cold shower before dressing
