The Prince’s Unwilling mate

Chapter 57

Ayla 57 I didn’t know what to tell Griffin, I was so angry with him. Uncle Cedric was telling us how Griffin declared war on the Blood Moon pack. Angry since I had gone to such lengths to prevent the war from happening. And he just sat there staring at me, I don’t think he heard a word that’s being said. Until Uncle Cedric announces he will give us some-privacy “Please, Darling, don’t reject me” Griffin falls to his knees tears in his eves. It makes me cry too, because I was ready to tell him I was falling for him this weekend. I planned to discuss moving in and completing the mating process. I was about to give up on this whole idea of going slow: David didn’t mean to but he made me more sure of my relationship with Griffin. He proved to me that thanking it slow didn’t offer any guarantees. I knew David for most of my life, yet he betrayed me the second he found out we were mates. Seeing this side of Griffin made me change my mind, what if this was going too fast? What if after years of being together, Griffin would betray me too? “Please talk to me, Darling” Griffin was still on his knees on the verge of tears. “I am not going to reject you Griffin. I was about to tell you I am ready for the next step. You ruined that by not trusting me. I can’t even look at you right now and we need to listen to Uncle Cedric now. You caused a war and possibly killed a man. There are more important issues than our relationship now” There was so much more I wanted to tell him but I didn’t lie I could not look at him right now. Being angry at someone who looks so guilty, and so heartbroken is ||| hard to do. With nothing else to do I mindlink Grandpa and Uncle Cedric to come back. Seeing me mindlink Griffin gets up and sits back down in the chair with a sigh. This time he listens to Uncle Cedric and Grandpa. They want to prevent a war because that always means losses. on either side. Hell, it is the reason I tried so hard to hide my hurt, hide the abuse. Thinking about the fact that the man I finally started trusting. I finally let myself feel something for just ruined everything still makes

me so angry. Angry and disappointed in both myself and Griffin. All these emotions raging inside of me make it hard to concentrate on the conversation happening now. After I scolded Griffin for needing to pay attention. “You are always welcome in my pack Prince Griffin, but I would like to know why you were here unannounced. I am going to ask David the same thing?” Uncle Cedric asked. He didn’t need to ask David though, he told me he stated it clearly. Several pack members overheard it too. David was here to win me back, to disrespect my matebond with Griffin. To force me to become his chosen mate, to make up for the fact that he had rejected me as his fated mate in the first place. He was trespas sing, so some punishment and some punches were warranted. Griffin just went too far with beating him to an inch of his life. “I wanted to do something sweet for Ayla, in the car are groceries for a BBQ from visiting your brother’s home it seemed like that is a big thing within your family. Seeing as I am her mate I figured I would be welcome. We could all travel to Kate’s new pack with the royal airplane after. Or at least that was the plan” Griffin stares at his hands. as he explains the reason for his visit. It was sweet, and if he had not tried to kill David it would have been a wonderful surprise. “Okay, so you had a legitimate reason to be on our background. That only leaves us with the reason why you attacked David and so 20.577% 111 09:32 violently at that. Why not let the pack handle it” Grandpa asked, he was no longer the Alpha but he would still get involved with things like this. He had a great reputation too, back in his day Grandma and he stopped an army of rogue wolves that were trying to take over packs, to claim the background as theirs. It made most wolves happy to have his insight and involvement. Unele Cedric didn’t mind it either mostly because Grandpa would never be overbearing, he never tried to be the Alpha. “It was a mistake, during the entire drive here I felt Ayla’s distress, because of our situation I cannot mindlink her so when I walked up to find David pulling down her top, not letting her go even whenContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

she demanded it. I just saw red, I regret it now. I regret hurting Ayla, I regret losing my cool. I regret disrespecting your pack” The sincerity in Grillin’s voice hurt me. Maybe he did not deserve this anger, but why couldn’t he just trust me? Let me deal with David. Seeing both Grandpa and Uncle Cedric growl and snap at Grillin’s words. Both are clearly upset with David’s behavior. It didn’t stop Grillin from taking a deep breath and continuing. “My father warned me that some Alpha’s grow overprotective when the mating process isn’t completed yet. Or if their mate has been hurt before.” Then he turns to face me “And I am so sorry I did not tell you, Darling, I did not want to pressure you into completing the mating process. It was why I snapped to Alpha Rob like that, and to see the one that has hurt you in the past putting his hands all over you” he continued and I could feel the anger radiate of him. He hated David for what he had done to me but it was more. It must be the overprotectiveness he was speaking about. I wanted to tell him I wasn’t angry at him anymore and that I regretted what he had done but thinking of the night I met Alpha Rob made me realize something else. Alpha Rob Had been flirting with me and I stopped things from going further by accusing him of treason. King Roderick had later laughed about it telling me I was right to do so. That anyone touching the mater of a member of the royal family, even before their place in the family. was cemented by a completed mate ceremony was treason and so punishable by either dead or banning them from all packs forcing them to become a rogue. “He is the same as Alpha Rob,” I said struggling to formulate my plans. “I know Darling, and just like with Alpha Rob I overstepped I let you down, and I…” Griffin swallowed hard, clearly upset even saying out loud how he had disappointed me. “No that’s not it, he is the same as in he committed treason, and he entered another pack’s ground without an invitation. Griffin as my mate has a standing invitation and saw David commit treason by ripping his clothes off” I told the others and they were quick to catch on. “Alpha Phill*pe will want to do everything to make sure word about that doesn’t come out” Uncle Cedric wasted no time in calling Alpha Phill*pe telling him how his son had tresp as sed only

to stalk the future Queen. How he groped. me and tried to pull my top down, pointing out how several pack members were witnesses to the whole ordeal.. “Crown Prince Griffin regrets fighting your son, and as a show of that regret, he is willing to drop the charges for treason. Since the Crown Prince is my family now, his future Luna he asked me to drop the tresp as s ing charges. This means your son will be released as soon as he has recovered enough. Unless you want to go public with all of this, 6814% ||| 09 320 you have the right to wage war on us. But it will mean the very public execution of your son” Uncle Cedric finished the conversation with Alpha Phill*pe. Who as expected agreed with all the terms as long as it meant his son would be home soon and in one piece. Uncle Cedric put his phone down on the desk with a happy smile. Stating it was all settled, making Griffin jump up lifting me off the floor, and spinning me around. “We did it, Darling, see I told you, you are going to be an excellent Luna and I am so…” He started but his face fell as he remembered how ready I was to take the next step. And how what he had done, no matter the outcome had made me reconsider almost everything about it. 00.95% |||
