The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

Griffin 76
At first, when Dad walked into my office I figured he had even more work for me to do. But as I saw his face I knew something far more serious was going on. Ayla had just texted me to tell me her father wanted to talk to her too. The way he had been over text had made her a little nervous because it was not like him to almost demand she videocalled him. Now with Dad coming to talk with me while being so worried, I wondered if something was going on that affected us both.
“Son, can I have a seat there is something important I need to discuss with you” Dad started one hand resting on the back of the chair opposite mine. And separated by my mahogany desk.
I smiled as I remembered Ayla telling me my desk was a cliche. But this wasn’t the time to daydream about my beautiful mate.
“Please, have a seat you don’t have to ask,” I told Dad focussing on him and what he was about to tell me instead.
Dad would always ask me if he could sit down when he entered my office. Even if he was the King and my father. It was his castle, it always made me feel respected when he did even when he didn’t have to. Especially since he didn’t have to he just chose to give me this much respect.
“Son, Alpha Phillip and Luna Jenna from the BloodMoon pack have died during a car crash and they died on impact.” Dad let the heaviness of his words linger in the air as he looked at me.
Two relatively young werewolves dying in a car crash was practically impossible. I have seen the roads near the BloodMoon pack and none of them seemed dangerous enough to warrant such a terrible accident.

Suspicions aside this made David the Alpha, I was all too aware of what this would mean for us as a pack. I have beaten the man half to death because he wanted his former mate back. My second chance mate, even if I didn’t see her like that I was sure he did.
“I get what you are afraid of, but if he let us know, maybe he isn’t planning on going back on the peace treaty,” I told Dad trying to reassure both him and myself
“That’s the thing, Griffin, he did not tell us he still hasn’t. Your parents-in-law happened to be traveling to the White Oak pack when the accident happened. Some of the pack members demanded Ayla’s mother back because she was the only pack doctor. That is how Alpha Cedric knew and he was the one to reach out to me.” Dad tells me making me feel uncomfortable.
If David is this hellbent on being with Ayla or just getting revenge this would mean we would have a war on our hands. And him not telling us that his parents died as he should have could be an indication he is plotting something. On the other hand, he could still be a little overwhelmed with grief. Losing both your parents to a freak accident must be earth-shattering. And no matter how much I hate him for it, he was clearly still struggling to get over the fact that he lost Ayla. As far as I know, he has a little sister now.
Dad agrees with me that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions too soon. But like me, he feels this could be leading up to something bad and we should definitely prepare. Just to be sure that if it is a war he wants we can stop things before they get too bad.
The minute Dad leaves my office to tell Mom about our plans and feel certain about the decisions we made. Ayla calls me since Dad let me know her parents are at the Cresent Moon pack now to bring some gifts to Kate and Tim because they will visit the White Oak pack tomorrow. He also told me that with David being the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack now and the threat of war being so real. They

decided to leave the BloodMoon pack behind. That is how Alpha Cedric knew, they had to ask him if they could officially move in with them.
Of course, Alpha Cedric accepted his family back into his pack. Knowing full well that the pack would accept them. The moment Alpha Phillip died the packbond got severed. Usually, the new Alpha reconnects the packbond and everything will go on as usual. But with the Hemming’s no longer blindly loyal to the BloodMoon pack,
especially not David, and with them not being on the pack ground they had the strength to refuse this new packbond.
After discussing what both Ayla and I feel is going to happen now, and after her telling me she still feels sorry for the Birches including David. I ask her how she feels about her parents and brother effectively running away from their home. They didn’t pack all of their stuff, and it would be a long time if any before they would be able to get it back.
“I feel guilty again Griffin, and I am worried for them but in the end, I know they are better off like this and we just need to make it work as a family,” She tells me and she is right.
The Hemmings will have the full support of the royal family too. And not just because they are family now. Even if it had been someone else’ s family, I would have supported them too. As I know my parents would have because as a parent it is never right to see your children get bullied and abused. After all, the Alpha refuses to acknowledge their pain and suffering. After reassuring her a bit more and after talking about small things, we ended the call.
Amazingly enough even during this sh it storm that seems to be brewing I fall asleep quickly. Because when I fall asleep in the bed that now seems to permanently smell like lilacs all I can think of is being able to hold Ayla in my arms again tomorrow.
