The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

“Everybody, Tim and I ate expecting” Kate blurts out the second the last

one of us is seated.

Just as it always is with the Hemming family everyone gets up in a rush to hug and tease the parents–to–be. I love my family and I love how close- knit we are. When I think back on it, being able to have my own family like this. A loving mate, pups who love us and each other. Had a big part to play in the fantasy of me wanting to meet my mate. Slowly I am beginning to realize that David was not the right mate for me. I still wonder why the MoonGoddess made that mistake, to begin with.

“Don’t worry I plan to keep him for as long as he will have me. One day I will be your Queen though and whopping my ass then would be treason” I can’t help but to tease back.

Griffin walks back to me and pulls me close to him.

“Darling, I am never letting you go, Darling, you are like a dream come true” He murmurs in my ear.

All there is left for me to do is to lean into him smiling. Because this man is a dream come true for me too. I just lost that dream somewhere and was too tired to look for it.

to start dinner. I caused her to break down in tears. Mom and Grandma were sure it was just her being hormonal from being pregnant. Of course, Kate said that wasn’t the problem. She just wanted to do something special for the first time her family was here. We all suggested getting some take–out but it only seemed to upset her more. Until Griffin asked if he could take us all out to dinner. To congratulate the happy couple. As a sign, he
