The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

Chapter 39

Griffin 39
The person behind me was the one who made Ayla swallow down the rest of her words. Is my Father, who by the looks of it is very pis sed. Maybe he is angry with us for causing a scene. Even if it felt like we were doing a great job in keeping our little spat hidden. If it was a spat, I made a mistake I knew it the moment Ayla got me away from the situation. She was right when she blamed me for my willingness to make life-changing decisions for all our people out of pure spite. Pride swelled in my chest, knowing that Ayla put the benefits of our people above those of herself. Above her own honor. I still hated it Alpha Rob, and I’ll be waiting for the day I can get back to him for this. First I need to handle this issue with my father though.
He states Ayla is not the one at fault here, and he wants her to stay behind. When he compliments her for acting like a true Luna already the pride swirling in my chest grows brighter. He is right, every Luna is different. Every Queen is different but Ayla undoubtedly is a wolf who others can look up to. The one thing every Luna including the Queen has is their ability to smooth conflicts over. A good Luna always thinks on behalf of the entire pack often less emotional and instinct-driven than the Alpha is. She showed everyone she was just that. Now I know the little spat we had is not the reason Father is mad with us I know what it is. He must have overheard me threaten to wage war on a guest, an Alpha. With how my day has been going. With Ayla getting this closer to me. Kissing me back, with her scolding me like the true Queen she is. I was ready for everything, Father would say or do to me. He would be reasonable as he always was.
Ayla being on her own hardly knowing anyone, in a room full of unmated wolves, some who don’t even respect the boundaries of a matebond if the mating process hasn’t been completed yet. It made me nervous, rolling his eyes Dad suggested I mindlink someone I trust to

keep her company.
“She is having a drink with your mother, they seem to be enjoying themself” Dillion mindlinks me back after I ask him to keep an eye on Ayla
My parents are fond of her. Dillion had already stated he would love her to be our queen before he even found out she was my fated mate. If things between the two of us kept going as smoothly as they went today, the future would be bright. For the first time since I turned fourteen. I felt like I had an actual chance at the happiness I had been dreaming of most of my life.
“Are you even listening, there is no reason for you to be smiling like that. And just sit down like I told you to” Father barks at me.
Pulling me out of my daydreaming. I hadn’t even noticed that we made it to his study. Or that he sat down at his desk and was still waiting for me to take a seat across from him.
“Sorry Dad, it is just things between me and Ayla that have been going so well today,” I remark expecting him to smile.
He didn’t his expression stayed stoic with a hint of anger. Disappointment even and it was the first time I realized how bad it was what I did. Losing control the way I did with Alpha Rob was not like me at all. I never wanted to turn in this overprotective Alpha male. With Ayla, I could not help it though.
Father isn’t impressed by the fact that me and Ayla have been doing so great today. He was when we were chatting together as our girls went shopping. He tells me he would be happy about this under different circumstances and I know he is being honest with me. Before he met Ayla he would mention the six months we agreed on. Ever since meeting her, he stopped bringing it up. To me that was a sure sign of him liking her, so I know he is genuine in saying he feels bad he can’t

be happy about that now. Suddenly the gravity of what I have done is clear. If Dad overheard me most of the wolves of the party have. In a year I will take over the throne and I cannot be seen as a power-hungry prince. Quick to start a war over what they will see as a flakey mate who is not even willing to settle down with me yet.
“I am sorry Dad, but he was mocking Ayla for being small. Calling her a do-over mate what if he said things like that about Mom” I asked
him.
Not because I wanted to shift blame, this was all me and I knew it. Still, I wanted Dad to know I was provoked. That I wanted to protect my mate save her reputation and most of all avoid her feeling bad about herself.
