The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

Luckily Griffin didn’t seem to notice something was off as we were calling. I planned to keep ignoring David but during the week he kept texting me more and more frequently. At first, I figured that if I just ignored him. Not even giving him the gratification of me blocking him. Showing what he did was bothering he would stop his little games. soon enough. He never stopped so I decided to send him one reply and then block him. The only thing he accomplished was that I started to hate him even more. I wanted my reply to hurt him without coming across as a scorned ex-girlfriend. It took me a second to come up with something, but when I did I smiled as I wrote the text.
“No, I do not regret anything, you rejected me I was foolish and young and thought I was heartbroken. When in fact you saved me from a life of mediocrity. I would have been arm candy to the mediocre Alpha of a barren mediocre pack after your father burned the pack to the ground with his awful leadership. Now I get to live with a real man, one that can give me the world in all the ways you could never. I’ll be the Luna of a thriving pack and your queen so the only thing I have left to say is thank you, David, for realizing you were never good enough for me.” With that I blocked him.
I was not looking forward to telling Griffin about it all but I knew I had to. We would never make it if we weren’t honest with each other. I knew I did nothing wrong, even if I wondered what made David change his mind like this. That was never about me getting back with him. Griffin had been perfect, and we’ve been texting every day and we face timed almost every night. It was amazing to me that he had such a busy schedule but still made the time to talk to me so often. I have never felt as seen or heard as I had since meeting Griffin and it made me feel like I was on cloud nine.

“Ayla, there is a courier here for you” Sam my employer called out to
mc.
I walked to the front desk thinking it was a parcel my parents sent me. Weird though that they chose to send it to my work and not just to my home. The courier who obviously was a wolf too gave me a plain- looking brown parcel. His being a wolf confirmed the suspicion the parcel was from my parents. They even tipped the courier, so I wouldn’ t have to. Curious as I was, I ripped open the parcel right away. Inside was a Tupperware box filled with Snickerdoodle cookies and an envelope. Even before I turned it around to see the royal seal I know who sent this to me. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much, and my smile only got brighter when I read the card.
“Darling, I miss you like crazy and I am happy I get to see you again tomorrow. Here are some cookies to eat on your road trip. I made them fresh at the cra ck of done and sent them with an express courier so I hope you get them in time.

Your Griff
ps. Please give your granddad a few, he was the one who told me he won your grandmother over with her favorite cookies and suggesting me to do the same. So I will be forever grateful to him.”
I asked Sam if I could go on my break a little early, and he smiled telling me I could but it would cost me a cookie. He was kidding he was happily mated to and would always talk about the importance of putting your mate first, making sure to appreciate all the little things they do. Still. I had enough to share so I grabbed a few for him. He could have it now and take home to share with his mate and kids. Then I rushed to the breakroom to call Griffin he would usually text me about his day so I had a fairly good idea of what his schedule was like.
I was about to hang up when he finally picked up the phone sounding a bit of breath. I heard a she-wolf in the background. As I realized for

the first time since having met him I wasn’t worried about him having an impromptu meeting with a she-wolf.
“Hi, Darling is everything okay you
His concern had me smiling again.
a never call when you are at work?”
This man really was everything and more.
“Well I usually don’t go on my break early to enjoy some Snickerdoodle the best mate in the world sends me. So I figured I should be a good mate too and thank him”
He let out a breathy chuckle, obviously relieved that I was okay. We chatted for a bit, but he was busy. I could hear people in the background, I heard a feminine giggle that was oddly familiar. Just not enough to actually put a name to the giggle. Which made sense I met a few of the she-wolves in his family last weekend. There is no way I would remember all of their voices, hell I don’t think I even know all of their names. When we ended the call I was just happy that I felt secure enough in what we had to not panic about the fact that my mate was talking to another she-wolf. After eating my lunch and some cookies as dessert I just went about the rest of my work day. Near the end of my day, I got another text from Griffin.
“Sorry I had to end the call so abruptly Darling, I’m very busy unexpectedly I’ll probably not be able to FaceTime either but I miss you like crazy. And I cannot wait to k*ss you tomorrow”
I chuckled when I realized I was a bit bummed about not being able to see Griff’s face tonight. When I was the one who was adamant about going slow. When I got home I told my Grandparents about the cookies. And of course, Grandpa was more than happy to take some, Griff and him had exchanged numbers too. It made sense that they could contact each other if something was to happen to me. But the thing is while Griff had not responded to my last message he immediately sent my Grandpa a reply. Granted it was a short and sweet
