The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

005 Griffin

For the last few days, I had been waking up achy like I have been training too hard: Mom had noticed and she was worried about me. She thought I might have been overdoing myself in preparation for the royal ball. Probably because this was the first event I had gotten personally involved with.

I clung to the hope of finally finding her at this ball. I did more than hoping though. Just as I did the very first night after finding out that I had one final chance of meeting my second chance mate. I had been praying to the Moon Goddess every night, bringing her offerings. And I had sent every staff member available, whom I fully trust to bring the invitations personally. To both get as many she–wolves to come to the ball as possible, and to scope out the packs.

Slowly but surely I was getting sure of the fact that I would find my mate. Everyone around me said I had my head in the cloud. That I was a hopeless romantic and that I needed to consider the possibility of choosing a chosen mate. I had promised my parents and I am not someone that goes back on his word. But I will wait until the clock strikes midnight I do not find my fated mate before that time. Thinking, of it, maybe I should stop thinking about her as my second chance mate. Maybe I should just refer to her as my fated mate. To not make it sound like she was second best, or a second choice.

I hated how I was reconsidering everything. It was just the pressure of finding her. Normally when you find your mate, you have the time to get to know each other before you complete the mating process. My parents wanted me to complete the mating process within a month. Meaning I

had to convince a girl to move in with me, leave her own pack behind, and fully accept me as her mate within a month. Come to think of it with all of the stress about this, and all the extra work I was taking on. Maybe Mom was right. Maybe I was waking up sore and achy because of all I was doing.

It didn’t stop me from giving my all though. I nervously looked around in my room. I was wondering whether I would just pick a different room. for me and my mate to move into. Or should I move some of my personal belongings, so my mate could have her personal stuff and make it our

room.

“Your room is empty enough as it is, your highness.

I turned around happy to hear Dillion’s voice again. He could read me like an open book. He just got me, just how seeing my back. He knew I was doubting my room being ready enough for my Luna, my mate. He also was the last of my messengers returning from hand delivering the invitations to my ball.

“So, how was it?” I asked him, sitting down on the bed and signalling for him to sit down next to me.
