The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

057 Griffin

Refusing to mark my Darling might have been the hardest thing I have ever done. Deep down I knew she was not ready for it yet. The only thing that would be worse than her regretting completing the mating process would be her rejecting me. And more and more I grew to believe that she would not reject me. Now even if we had an argument she still made me feel loved and safe.

It was not long after we made love that she fell asleep and I just laid in bed watching her. She would probably tease me that I was being a freak. Maybe I was but I didn’t care all I could do was stare at her. Wondering why the Moon Goddess deemed me worthy to give me a mate as perfect as Ayla, With realizing just how amazing my mate was, I felt nervous for tomorrow. Her sister Kate was the only family I hadn’t met yet, and I needed her to love me too. The first time I visited her parents, her father told me how close the girls had always been. How Kate looked up to her older sister, and about the fact she had almost rejected her mate for being related to Ayla’s tormenter. The problem is she grew up with David too, so what if she liked him better for Ayla? What if Kate cannot stand me?

By the time I finally fell asleep I had nightmares about Kate hating me. I woke up early partly because of the nightmares, partly because I am used to waking up at the crack of dawn now. Having fewer days to do the same amount of work in mean I was making long days. Ayla was still fast asleep snuggled up to me. I know she hates getting up, and I know what I can do to make her morning a little better. Making sure I do not

I would have loved to stay in bed with Ayla for a little longer, but we need to get up and get ready if we want to make it to the plane in time. So I had gotten out of bed already picking out my outfit for the day. Meaning I could text Mike without Ayla seeing it. He was my personal bodyguard.
