The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

146 Ayla

Despite the awkwardness for a few seconds being back in Griffin’s arms felt good. We stayed like that cuddled up together for about an hour when my stomach grumbled loudly. It was a good sign, that I was getting my appetite back but I still felt a little ashamed about it.

Especially since it already seemed like Griffin didn’t see me like he used to before.

“Do you want me to cook for you?” Griffin immediately wants to take care of me again.

And I don’t mind as long as he doesn’t feel like he is demoted to some kind of caregiver and nothing more. I decided to give it some time though. It must have been traumatizing for him too. And I am sure he is tired too. For now, though I am craving being outside. It’s cruel for a wolf to have to be inside all of the time. During my time in the dungeon, I hardly saw any sunlight not even through windows since the sunroof wasn’t enough to light up the entire dungeon.

“Actually Griff, I am dying to go outside is there somewhere we can eat outside? Just go to a restaurant or something?” I ask hoping he won’t mind being seen outside with me in this state.

When he starts speaking he is a little hesitant not finding the right words. For a moment my heart sinks and I feel like he is going to tell me that he as a future Prince cannot be seen outside with his mate looking like this. I know he still loves me, but with being royalty you have a standard to hold on to. Not to mention the fact that I am very aware of the fact that I do not look like I used to before. Sure I have always been petite for a werewolf. I was happy with how I looked and all of that changed now.
