The Prince’s Unwilling mate

Chapter 73

Ayla 73 I had hoped I could rest a bit this weekend, but with going out more and showing my face more to the pack I hardly did. I kind of missed the weekend when we would just stay locked up in the bedroom, making love or eating while I read and Griff played his video games. He had kept his promise to bring me a coffee in bed every morning though. And just like I suspected it would, that small moment of quality time did make a difference. Yesterday we went down to have breakfast with the pack. It was a lot more lively than the pack meals were back at the Blood Moon Pack. The entire royal family did their best to be equals to the pack, and it showed. If Alphal Phil*p and his family joined the pack meals we all went quiet. Careful about what we talked about, they always showed their difference, and let us know they were higher in rank than the rest of us were. Seeing as she grew up in the pack it never did bother Mom. This was what she was used to after all. Dad had always resented that, he had always been very vocal about the fact that pack dinners and pack events should be about strengthening the relationships within a pack. Not to highlight. the differences. Mom would counter that he had always been a part of the Alpha’s family so it might feel different to the other wolves in the White Oak pack. It had always been the only thing they would argue about. Seeing how the pack meals were here I had to admit that Dad was right. And I loved that in just two weeks I would be part of this pack. A member of this leading family that actually cared more about their pack than their ranks. Ayb 73 1 Vouchers Looking back I feel like Mom’s loyalty to her pack was the reason we never moved out. The White Oak pack would have welcomed us all with open arms. We as kids were happy enough in the BloodMoon pack, we all made friends. Kate and Daniel more than I did but at least I had my two best friends. Or so I thought. Mom’s parents and sisters used to be very involved too, meaning I had a bunch of cousins to play with. Grandma Peggy was a close friend of Alpha Phill*p’s mother

though, and Dad having a lot to say about how he let his pack. used to cause some tension. Still, we all saw each other regularly. Until the moment David rejected me, Mom and Dad couldn’t accept the fact that my Grandparents took his side. They even went along with saying that the Moon Goddes made a mistake and that I was meant to be with the omega Hannah rejected. They got into a massive fight over it and from that moment on no one in the family ever came over again. We saw each other at pack events, and we would all be civil but it was never the same. By that time it was too late for Mom and Dad to go live with the White Oak pack without causing a war. Another thing I felt guilty about, especially now that I was living in the White Oak pack and about to leave for a pack that was just as happy and close-knit. “What are you thinking about, Darling” As always Griffin knows exactly when I need him. “I just feel so guilty sometimes, when everything went down. my family suffered a lot. Now they have to stay behind, and the pressure to avoid a war has only become more” I sigh as I take the coffee from his hands. “Listen to me Darling, nothing about this is on you. David shouldn’t have come to you to pester you. I shouldn’t have 21.46% Ayla 73. 788 Vouchers lost my cool with him. And as an Alpha, you should never ever threaten to wage a war if members of your pack want to live with their family. Not to mention the fact that he leads his pack so bad that members actually want to leave” Part of me knows he is right, but I can’t help feel bad. Wanting him to understand me I tell him all about my parents. not having much contact with my maternal grandparents, and aunts anymore. All because they sided with David. Lastly, I told him about that night over a year ago. Where I did something that made David reject me. I should have known how mad it would make Griff. He is struggling to keep his composure. I get it if someone had treated Griffin like David treated me I would have been just as angry. The thing is lashing out won’t help us. So I stroke his cheek with my hand, and it works he takes a few deep breaths but he calms down. enough to continue talking.

“Darling, even if you would have never wanted to sleep with me. I would have still loved you as much as I do now. You said you wanted to wait for your mate and he should have been happy with that decision. If he truly believed he was going to be your mate he should have been happy that you were so willing to stay loyal to him. Like I was when I found, remember how you felt when I told you I had waited for you?” Griffin seems to plead with me, almost as if he is desperate for me to believe him. And I do, he is right I remember when he told me he had waited on me. It felt so good, it made our first night together so much better. And if I had to go back in time and choose I would reject David again. Knowing it would end up with me having Griffin as my mate. The realization that I am happy David rejected me causes me to chuckle. 44.400 Ayin 73 11 300 Mouchers “Why are you suddenly laughing, Darling?” Griff asks he is obviously confused. Not that I can blame him, I went from being all melancholic and moody to giggling about something serious. “I just realized something, I am so happy that David rejected me for the first time in over a year. Because it let me to you. and if I had to I would do it all over again. The heartbreak, the abuse, the stress, the fights in my family. Just so I would end up in this bed with you having a coffee before we start the day” The very second I stop talking Griffin pulls the mug from my hand to place it on the nightstand. Then he pulls me in for a k*ss that curls my toes. My b*dy pulled flush against him, one hand in my neck holding my hand in place and the other one exploring the curves of my b*dy. The b*dy he has learned to play like an expert. Every brush of his fingers excites me more, every expert touch makes me want him more. By the time he lets me go, we are both a little breathless. “Better finish your coffee Grandma doesn’t like tar d iness” He chuckles That is right I am going to finally meet his grandparents, they don’t go to many pack events anymore. And if they do they never stay long. So they attended the ball and Krystel’s birthday but INôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

never found the time to speak to them. Suddenly I understood why Griffin was so nervous about meeting Kate. Because I am a ball of nerves about meeting his Grandparents. The rest of his family seemed to love me, Krystel most of all, but Griff told me he is very close with them. I’m worried they have heard the rumors about me not wanting to commit to Griffin. And it is not just about me 67.926 Avh 73 117 Wochen being their Grandson’s mate. It is about me becoming a part of the legacy they’ve built. Now that Griffin reminded me hist Grandmother hated tar d iness I got anxious, I know we still I had the time but I wanted to be even more on time. And I still had no idea what to wear, as I got up, to search through my clothes to find a suitable outfit. Griffin was still lying in bed watching me with an amused look on his face. Somehow it made me feel less anxious because I knew Griffin wanted to make sure his Grandparents loved me. *** “Come on in dears, it is good to finally see you,” “His grandmother said opening the door. I was unsure if she was just being pleasant or if she was taking a jab at the fact that this was the first time she was seeing me. Griffin 74
