The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

This must have been why Griffin seemed like he was avoiding me. I suspected he was just busy with work. I convinced myself that I was seeing things again, well he actually had been hiding something from me. Of course, the only thing he would ever hide from me was something like this.
“Yes, yes Griffin of course I want to marry you more than anything in the world” I sobbed
I was overwhelmed with how happy I was. How beautiful his words were and how well the ring suited my tastes. It was not the standard gold ring with a diamond. This was a platinum ring with an agate stone. It was my exact size and I wondered how he managed to do that as he slid the ring on my finger. My entire body erupted in goosebumps and I was sure we would make it to the end of the night. For now, though we had to mingle the engagement had only caused more people to want to talk to us. More congratulations are to be received.
Normally I would have loved that, but now with the symptoms of the heat getting stronger, I wish I could just get out of here. Go home with Griff and jump his bones, to thank him for yet another wonderful experience. Funny how at first I disliked the idea of living in a quarter of the castle. I supposed it would not feel like home if I did not have my front door. Now I was wishing I could go home as I was walking around mingling in the ballroom a few feet from the quarter I lived in.
“Princess Ayla, I made you a gift can I give it to you” A little girl whose name I remember was Rosa tugged at my skirt.
Her mother came rushing up to us. Probably worried about the greasy

toddler hands on my stunning dress. But I didn’t mind at all, I kneeled to be at eye-level with Rosa and asked her to show me the gift. It was a beaded necklace, she must have made herself. It was bright and had all- the colors she could find that did not match my dress. Still, the admiration shining through in her big gray eyes made me want to make her happy. So I put the necklace on just as Rosa’s mother reached us.
“I am so sorry Princess Ayla, I hope she didn’t bother you. My mate and I brought you a gift and Rosa here wanted to give you something too.” She explained I figured as much when the new or future Luna gets accepted into the pack it is common for others to bring the new couple gifts. The value didn’t matter as much as the fact that most members would give something meaningful. Something that came from a tradition. Or something handmade, so this necklace perfectly fits the bill. So that is what I told Rosa’s mother.
After the ceremony, and Griffin proposing to me, I still hadn’t eaten a single bite. Now I was hungry and constantly aroused. I hadn’t had the chance to talk to my family much either. I knew from the start that this was part of being one of the rulers of a pack. I had seen it with my grandparents, my uncle and aunt, and even with Alpha Philip. Even if he seemed to enjoy it when all the attention was on him, he was a different type of leader. But he didn’t deserve to die like he did. No one would have, and I hated I was suddenly thinking about him on a night like this.
Probably because tonight was everything I could have wanted. Still, it was so vastly different from the life I thought I would get. I never had enough time to process it all. Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by an arm around my waist. The smell of pulled pork made my stomach rumble. Griffin’s stubble scratched my cheek when he whispered into my ear.
“When tonight is over, I will take care of you the way you need it most. But for now, I’ll take care of you like this you will need the energy”

It only fueled my desire for him, his eyes darkening showed me that he knew what was happening. Leaving me a little afraid that the other pack members would pick up on the scent of my arousal too.
“Don’t worry it’s just me as your mate who smells it now” Griffin mind linked me putting me a little more at ease.
Just to be sure, I decided to make my way over to my family. For most, it might have been awkward to talk to their family while being this aroused. For me, it wasn’t because while every pack member knew we had to rush this ceremony because I was about to go into heat. It was still a somewhat private matter, one I would rather go through with loved ones than with pack members I barely knew.
As I made my way over to them with Griffin to chat with them as I was eating my pulled pork tacos. Cynthia made her way over to us, she had a wicked smile on her face, and a glass of red wine in her hand. I felt Griffin tense up like me he knew she was about to cause trouble in a way where it would look bad on us if we behaved accordingly. We changed the course of our direction but that didn’t deter her one bit.
