The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

“Hey, Darling, I am back.” I tell Ayla trying to sound calm.

Still, I pull her closer staking a claim on her, one I hope I still have. There was nothing to worry about because her smile was so bright when, she introduced me to the wolf she was hugging. Her cousin Jay, that is why she was so happy. He is a member of her family and she introduces me as her mate. He had taken the year off to travel the packs to go and find his mate.

I loved it and it was so much better than getting scolded by her. No matter how right she was, or how much I needed it. Now it was just me enjoying spending time with my beautiful mate. Who for some reason had suddenly stopped fighting the pull between us. Tonight was perfect and for a second I feared it was too good to be true. Everything about today had been perfect, she would sleep her and then we had another full day ahead of us.

We needed to make some more rounds after dancing. This was the part I hated the most, there were some good people out there. And I enjoyed. talking to a fair few of them, still, the majority of them were just trying to kiss ass. Wanting me or my family members to favor them over the others. Hoping that if we were close our judgment considering disputes. between packs would cause us to decide in their favor. Most of the pack leaders we did consider friends or had personal alliances with. Were the packs would never instigate fights between packs. And if they would we still would make a fair judgement. That’s what our responsibility as royalty was.

Every now and then she would tug on her earlobe, it fascinated me. Just as how everything about her fascinated me. That’s how I noticed that the ass–kissing did get to her. Every time
