The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

Painting the shelves was fine, we did just act like two friends. As long as you ignored the secret glances I shot Griffin every now and then. Judging from how his eyes burned holes in my back he was doing the same. But even Nicolas was kind enough not to mention it. The real issues started when the shelves had gotten their second coat of paint. They looked great and didn’t need a third coat of paint. Nic stayed around and chatted for a bit. His mate Lucas came to pick him He

Hell, it was something most mates would want. Including Griffin, to me, it was like all these conflicting feelings were put in a pressure cooker.

Still, I had told Griffin I was giving him an honest chance, and I was going to make good on my promise. Especially when he asked me what, my favorite spot in the pack was. Every time I talk about the Great White Oak tree in the center of the packground I get excited. This time was no different.

Honestly, he was kinda cute when he did. I always thought girls were cute not men. But he was proving men could be cute too. Especially when I shut him up with a kiss on the cheek. Maybe it was mean he had to hold himself back and I just kissed him. But he could be the one kissing me back on my cheek too I wouldn’t mind that at all. Hopefully, he was just happy to see I was actually giving him a chance.

“I get it let us go to the forest we can shift there and then I’ll bring you to the oak. Willow is excited to meet Conan too.” I answered his unasked

question.

I came to find out I loved it when I did something simple for Griffing, only to be met with the biggest smile in return. During the walk to the forest, we just chatted still just getting to know each other. He loved Mexican food like I did, he took after his mother more. And he didn’t have siblings. An odd thing for wolves, usually we are big on huge families. It felt like there was a story there. If he didn’t tell me right away I was not going to pry. Griffin did not tell me anything about why he didn’t have siblings. Focussing on me again, asking me about Kate. He had heard that I was the one who brought Kate to her new pack. Having met Daniel he was curious about my other sibling. Before I knew it I blurted it out.
