The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

“Well, I guess you are over missing your mate, aren’t you? I hope David kills Ayla because it would be more merciful than you breaking
her heart like this.” Tessie screamed at me. her heart like this.
She was right, this would break Ayla’s heart if it was true. They had to know right that I would never replace Ayla. Let alone with the girl that hurt her. But if Hannah was involved in kidnapping her, she knows where Ayla is. We need to know why she is here and what motivates her, so we can get to Ayla. And I would do anything I needed to do. His mate’s yelling had alerted Jay, who now ran into the room, Dillion hot on his tail.
Dillion knew me well enough to know I would never do this willingly, but Jay saw red. I could see he was fighting to not let his wolf take over and kill me. The only way out of this now was to use my Royal Alpha voice on my in-laws. I hated that I had to, but it was the only way. I command them to go to Jay’s office and wait for me there. They do as they are told, but I can see the fire in Jay’s eyes. A mixture of disappointment and pure hatred.
All I can hope for now is that they not only see my point. For now, I turn to Hannah, struggling just as much as Jay and Tessie are not to hurt her.
“Hannah, I get what you’re doing, but we need to talk you cannot just crawl in bed with me. Your wing in the pack house is still intact. So I would advise you to go and wait on me there” I tell her, it doesn’t come out as sweet as I wanted it to be.
But it is the best I can do, and since she gives me what I can only imagine is supposed to be a sultry smile, I guess I didn’t do too bad.

“What the hell is going on Griffin” Dillion mindlinks me the second the door closes. Still careful enough to make sure Hannah cannot overhear us.
“I trust you, and I know how much you love Ayla, but I swear to the Moon Goddess if you hurt our Firecracker I will never speak to you ever again!” He continues, at least he trusted me enough to not jump to conclusions.
And I cannot blame him for being a bit protective over Ayla. She isn’t just his friend, she is his future Luna and Queen. So he should feel this sense of loyalty towards her.
Wanting to be safe, I answer him using our mindlink too.
“I need Hannah, to get my Darling back. Now I need to get dressed and talk to her parents, but I still feel weak, so please help me”
An understanding dawns on his face as he quickly helps me get into a pair of sweats and a shirt. There is no sense in dressing up for this meeting. I still want this to feel like a family meeting. Not like official. business, and I am fairly sure the Hemmings will see it my way when I explain to them why I did not have Hannah arrested right away.
When I am dressed, I make my way to Jay’s office as quickly as I can to find Daniel there too. Which would have been a good thing if it was not for him punching me in the face. With how weak I feel and it being. a surprise attack, he knocks me to the floor. Luckily enough I did not. pass out, although I could have done with Krystel screaming at him telling him, she regrets being his mate when he is clearly this aggressive.
This all is getting out of hand rapidly, and Dan seems conflicted. between groveling at his mate’s feet or punching me in the face again.
“Krys, he thinks I am cheating on Ayla with the she-wolf that

tormented her. They all do, so it is my fault for obviously not being clear enough about how much I love my mate” I tell Krystel hoping to make the other’s aware of how little trust they have given me.
“Listen, Griffin, I am sorry, the thing is I trusted you. After I first met you, back when Ayla was still conflicted about you, I have sung your praises so much I seemed like your da mn cheerleader. If she goes through all of this, to find you having moved on with Hannah. She will die and so for a moment, I felt guilty about it. But you’re right deep down I know you would never do something like that. Please can you forgive me” Dan rushes to apologize.
Truthfully, if the tables were turned, and I thought he had moved on from Krystel so quickly, I would have been the same. And so I tell him exactly that. Before telling everyone why, I need Hannah to think there might be something between us. I require her to trust me enough, to at least be careless in going to visit David. Because I have no illusions about her reasoning. The fact that she stole Ayla’s shirt Tessie planned on bringing to me to make me feel a bit better says it all.
At the same time, me being sick now is a great excuse to not talk to Hannah too much. Just see what she was getting up to, find out more about her motives to suddenly claim her place as my mate since Ayla had supposedly told me she would make a good Queen.
