The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

036 Ayla

Griffin made me so angry when he threatened to wage war on another Alpha, just because he insulted me. Or tried to, why would I give a rat’s ass about what a random Alpha thinks of me. Asking him to dance with me was a way to distract him. Defuse the situation before things get out. of control. That didn’t stop me from chewing him out with a sweet smile on my face. Mid–chewing him out King Rodrick appeared behind us, brows knit in frustration. He didn’t speak up and I wasn’t going to be the first to speak up either. Griffin turned around stunned that I suddenly stopped talking.

“Son, can talk in my office now.” Rodrick told Griffin as it was not a

question, his tone suggested so.

Taking my hand in his Griffin just nods. It feels good he holds my hand; I am a bit nervous about what he is about to tell us.

“Oh no, just you Griffin” King Rodrick says before turning to me. “As for you Ayla, thank you for trying to school my son. MoonGoddess knows he needs it, already behaving like a Luna. You should just go and have some fun Griffin will find you later” His words are kind as is his smile towards me

Yet he seems to be livid with Griffin, his posture was poised. His steps. seemed calm, complimented by the light smile on his face. Only his eyes

shone with anger betraying his true feelings. I felt bad for Griffin, what if the fact that up until today I had been so dismissive of our bond had made him feel so insecure that he lashed out like this? I felt bad because I should have been relieved that King Rodrick only wanted to speak with Griffin. Part of me wanted to follow them. Confessing how I had been acting as a mate, King Rodrick would no doubt understand what I did to Griffin and go easy on him then. It felt unfair he mentioned that I was already behaving as a true Luna while I was the one that made Griffin feel so insecure.

But I had no time as Queen Isabella came walking up to me. I suspected she was going to scold me too. Point out the responsibilities I had as a. future Queen and Luna. Or how my actions, my holding back from the good that was happening made Griffin act out like he did. I could not have been further from the truth.

“Care to join me for a glass of wine dear?” She smiled at me.

Never did the conversation turn to the more serious topics I feared. She just pointed out some family members telling me what their ranks and ties to the pack were. We walked up to meet several of them. Griffin’s entire family seemed warm, kind, and inviting. In fact, they reminded me a lot of my family. Something that would make moving here if I ever got to that point easier. Being accepted into this big family would hopefully make me miss mine less. Come to think of it I should go outside tonight and give my parents a call. I have hardly spoken with them all weekend. They knew I was going to Griffin’s and I am sure they are curious about how my weekend is.

I was still too concerned about what other. wolves would think of me. Let them believe I accepted Griffin as long as I was true to him. Tell him what I was feeling so I wouldn’t break hist heart more than necessary if I ended up not accepting him. Pointing out. there was a reason I had six months to decide.
