The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

Ayla 55
This weekend with Griflin has flown by, I needed to tell him about. David. I had been trying to find the perfect moment to tell him the entire weekend. All while he had gone overboard to fill our weekend with wonderful stuff to do as a couple. Add in his family wanting some of our time. We would be heading to bed in a few minutes, and I was so exhausted I was sure I could not keep my eyes open. So I decided to not wait for the perfect moment anymore. He was tense there was a tick in his jaw that made me want to reach out and caress his cheek. I couldn’t though so I just sat down next to him.
“David, texted me last weekend just when I got home, some bullshit about missing me,” Griffin growled, clearly fighting to stay the one in control.
Since he didn’t say anything I just continued explaining to him how I ignored David at first dismissing it as a drunk text. How over the course of the week he had kept texting me. And that the only reason I did not tell, him about it was that I wanted to tell him in person.
“That’s why you looked guilty a few times when we had plans, you wanted to tell me before,” He said, like he was just realizing it himself just now.
I nodded not knowing what to say, as it was hard to get a read on him at this moment. In the last two weeks, we’ve grown so close that I could easily read him. So the fact that he was so closed off now made me anxious.
“Don’t be naive, Darling, he wants you back. He must regret that he rejected you, I don’t blame him for missing you but he is overstepping” Griffin still wasn’t facing me as he was talking to me.

Even when I placed a hand on his shoulder, he let me. He did not shrug off my hand, but he did not face me either.
“There would have been an easy solution for this, we could just complete the mating process but of course, you don’t want that” Grislin was right, David would have to be extremely foolish for him to pursue. me when I was the Crown prince’s only mate. That didn’t stop his words from feeling like a slap to the face. I jumped up from the bed whirling around to face him. About to cuss him out for making me feel bad about this. After he did nothing but promise me he would be patient with me.
“Maybe I should have rejected had you back in my place, since you are already breaking your promise about being patient with me” Was the only thing I managed to choke out.
Rushing to his closet, the very closet I filled with clothes to keep here. Because I saw a future with him. I honestly don’t want to go, and my heart is breaking thinking about leaving him behind. What other option do I have though if he is going to throw my past, my trauma in my face every time some wolf shows interest in me? Like he hasn’t noticed the stares he has been getting when we go out anywhere. She- wolves and humans alike. Some guys too, and I get it even for a wolf he is muscular. Combined with his caramel skin, deep brown eyes, and dark curly hair he was extremely handsome. Never have I blamed him. for it though. I knew he would never betray me like that. That he is too kind, too genuine and he honors the matebond far too much to cheat. Why isn’t he able to give me that same trust in my loyalty?
Is it because I still not have accepted him or because I want to take it slow? But if that’s the reason why didn’t het tell me then? Why did he tell me, he would be willing to wait for as long as I needed? Then again, I have seen that jealousy of his before, even when his best friend called me firecracker. Jealous mates are a thing, jealous Alpha’s even more. To me, it is the most off-putting thing though. There was no way

I was going to stand for my partner being overly jealous. I can hardly see what I am doing through the tears in my eyes. Suddenly Griffin ist right behind me, his voice strained as he tells me.
“Please don’t leave me, Darling, I love you I just need to go for a run to clear my mind please wait on me” His hand is flexing like he wants to reach out for me but won’t allow himself.
I roll my eyes and I don’t want to give in, but I am too far in, I have fallen too deep for this man. So I sigh and tell him I will wait for him, not bothering to unpack what clothes I managed to shove into my bag. Without saying another word I walk into the bathroom to take a shower. Hoping that it will clear my mind. Because why would I not. complete the mating process, if I am unable to leave him if he doesn’t treat me right? I wish I could just talk to Jessa, but if she knows Gerald knows, and if he knows there is a risk Griffin will know exactly what I am feeling and I can’t deal with that right now.
About an hour later I was lying in bed, scrolling on my phone because I could not focus on my book. When Griffin walks back in, I can sense he is tired but when he speaks to me his voice isn’t as strained anymore when thanks me for still being there. He did as he said and took a quick shower then he just got into bed with me. Spooning me without saying a word.
