The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

201 Griffin

I was happy, Ayla wanted to tell our families tomorrow it would make so many things easier on us. Lying when you’re living in such a close community is difficult as we experienced when we were having our test- tasting dinner at Milo’s. Telling our families would take the edge off a little bit. Then in two weeks, we could finally tell the rest of the pack. We could finally start celebrating, being pregnant, and announcing the wedding date. Now the rest of the pack would understand why we wanted to marry so soon.

I still shudder when I think back to the fight where Ayla told me she wasn’t interested in marrying me like this. It made sense she wanted to go bridal shopping outside of the pack ground. Weddings aren’t as common for us wolves as they are for people. So there aren’t any bridal stores on pack ground, there are somewhere you can get evening dresses. White ones too and all those other shades that to me look white but have

different names.

I should have known that there was no way that Ayla would not want to get one of those dresses. I should have known that she would want to go wedding dress shopping with her friends and family. We already had to rush the wedding, she wouldn’t have minded getting married after our pup was born. I could just acknowledge it and it would still get my last name. But I wanted to be a family in every way possible before our pup was born. Of course, being as wonderful and amazing as she is Ayla agreed. And I was sure she was excited about starting our future together in yet another way too. Joking about how we took ages to mark each other, and would now have a shotgun wedding.

What caused her to be mad with me was that I figured it was a smart idea to tell her she could not go shopping for a wedding dress out of the pack ground. I don’t know what came over me. Or actually, I do, ever since Hannah was made rogue there have been rogue sightings. Up until Cynthia started working outside of the pack ground. We suspected the rogue sightings were Hannah trying to find her way in the human world. The timing just was a little off and I was the only one who said it. Even my parents didn’t think it was as suspicious as I thought it was. Feeling alone in my worry made me lash out. I could still hear the things Ayla told me.
