The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

I waited for two hours after Griffin stormed off. Hoping we could talk about this. I was well aware of how difficult I was being and I regretted what I said. But he didn’t seem to be coming home so I gave up and went to bed. In his bed in his bedroom, where I found the dozens of pillows on his bed. When he visited me he said something about it being a hassle to remove all those pillows from his bed. Uncle Nic had joked he would never be with Uncle Lucas if Lucas hadn’t accepted his love for throw pillows on the bed. Griffing had winked at me saying some mates were worth all the throw pillows in the world. I was sure he went out and bought a shit ton of these pillows to make me feel more welcome. here. So I had taken them all off the bed, I had folded the duvet so that he could just slip into the bed on his side. Or what I suspected was his sight as I laid down on the other half of the bed.

Now I woke to a cold and empty bed, maybe after our last fight he didn’t want to be with me anymore. Maybe he just had the decency to not wake me up only to reject me. The realization makes me jump up and that’s when I see the folded piece of paper on Griffin’s pillow.

“Good morning, I didn’t want to sleep next to you without being sure you wanted me to. I’m sorry about our fight, I’m on the couch in my living room. Please wake me up when you wake up before me. X Griffin”

The note was sweet and it made me feel a little sad. He was so kind and

so respectful of me and my boundaries. Even when I had been a total bitch to him. I felt the need to do something sweet for him something kind. But first I needed to see if Jessa was up already. She was still on her mate–moon so I had to text her to see if she was awake and then I could hopefully call her.. Not wanting to wake Griffin up I slip onto the balcony when Jessa texts me back she is indeed awake and able to call. She gives me a lot of great advice, some of which is hard to swallow. Still, it confirmed a few things for me and I know what I have to do now. Or well that depends on what Griffin wants, and how the rest of our day is going to turn out. So for now I just plan on not running anymore. Breakfast might be a good start, and thanks to Gerald I know exactly what Griffin likes for breakfast. I swear if this does work out, and we end up having an official mating ceremony he needs to be in the mating

party.

I have to sneak past him sleeping on the couch in the living room. His couch is awful, modern hard and it must be uncomfortable to sit on, let alone sleep on. After sneaking past him I make my into the castle’s main kitchen because with the open–plan kitchen he has he is bound to wake up when I am cooking.

without Griffin noticing it. He has always restrained himself when it came to touching me. His facial expression always showed when he did. For some reason he let all of his inhibitions go, he buried his nose in my neck close to where he would mark me. Since he spoke about the pack’s future Luna I knew he had been talking about me. Suddenly it dawned on me. He must have woken up to find me gone. All my stuff was left behind, I didn’t leave him a note or anything It never crossed my mind, he was so deep asleep I just figured he wouldn’t wake up before I was back.
