The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

017 Griffin

“I truly hope things work out between the two of you. Don’t give up on my sister okay? She is stubborn as hell and has been through a lot the last few years” Daniel told me as he helped me load my bag and some boxes into the plane.

Today I would be going home to the castle, after listening to her family and friends I would not wait for her at the WhiteOak pack. She had to deal with a lot of stuff right now. And while I wasn’t about to admit. defeat lying down. I was not going to make her feel uncomfortable. In two weeks‘ time, I would travel down to her to give her the boxes of books Jay and Tessie told me to pack, stating she would miss her books the most. Of course, I was happy to do something that should give her some comfort in the coming weeks.

Jessa was flying back with us, in the past two days she and Gerald had completed the mating process. And I hated feeling jealous of the beautiful intricate mark that decorated Gerald’s collarbone now. Without thinking about it my fingers brushed my empty collarbone again. Like I had done so often for the past two days. With everything I had learned about Ayla even without actually talking to her, I was getting more and more impressed by her. Making it harder to think about the possibility of her rejecting me and settling with my chosen mate. Everything had left me a little nervous about going home and facing my parents again.

I had been worrying about nothing. The minute I set foot on packground, a servant came running up to me. Telling me my parents wanted to see me right away. My stomach twisted in knots. I was willing and ready to fight them if all the trouble Ayla was in would cause them to come back on their decision to support me in trying to convince her to accept me as her mate. When I walked in they both sat behind Father’s desk with wide smiles on their faces. Scaring me into thinking they were proud of hand–selecting a chosen mate for me.

“Sit down, son we just wanted to go over this whole business with your mate,” Dad said.

The fact that he still referred to her as my mate was the first reassurance. And when they told me they were proud of me both for keeping my cool for as much as I did and because I was not willing to give up on what I believed in so easily. I felt myself slowly relax. Sure we needed to come up with a plan on what to communicate when the people of our pack would see I was traveling a lot more than I used to. We also needed to come up with a plan for how to deal with the BloodMoon situation.

Ayla was now officially accepted as a member of the WhiteOak pack. So there was no longer a threat of her becoming a rogue. Which had been wildly reassuring, as was working in my office surrounded by six boxes full of books. On some days, I had caught myself daydreaming about turning one of the walls, into.custom- made bookshelves. Reading didn’t really appeal to me that much. But if my mate loved it as much as she seemed to, if she had as many books as she had I would be honored to give up most of my room to store her books. Jessa had told me she had always wanted one of those huge. bookshelves with a rolling ladder attached to it. I had gone as

it was only a four–hour drive. Making flying there a bit excessive. It would draw more attention. And most of all it felt good to know my wonderful mate was close enough I could just drive up there. During the entire drive there my stomach was in knots and I kept over what I was going to tell her over and over again. But first I would need to speak with the WhiteOak’s Alpha.

the pack and I immediately noticed this pack was far more lively. It bustled with life just like the BloodMoon pack had been. Now however I could hear laughter and kids playing. People stopping to chat with each other saying goodbye with hugs. The guards who watched the pack’s entry had offered to walk me to the Alpha. It never felt like they were guarding me or
