The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

I knew we had to be close, I sensed her, but I could not feel what side it was coming from. We combed through every inch of the forest, but we didn’t find any building where they could be hiding. No, new pack forming, the most logical thing for them to do was to move to another territory, an unclaimed one. And build their new pack there, or their leftover pack for that matter. But for some reason, they hadn’t there was no way I could still sense Ayla this strongly if she wasn’t here anymore. For a moment, my heart fell to the floor when I noticed the shallow grave at the foot of the three I had marked. The fear he had killed her ever since I had been close, that the photo was her last goodbye had gripped my heart.

“Prince Griffin, it does not work like that you would know if your mate dies, you know that right!” Rob, the warrior Lmet the other night, had asked to be in the group with me and now calmed me down.

Talking to him had been somewhat useful, he wasn’t sure of anything. However, he seemed to be one of the first Pack members who saw something was off with David. When his parents died, Rob was the first one to suspect David was involved he still was, same with David’s sister going missing. Rob and his mate had been wanting out years ago, Rob being a warrior though caused Alpha Philip to forbid him to move packs. He couldn’t risk becoming a rogue not with a mate and two teenage children.

Even now that Jay was leading the BloodMoon pack, it was clear how much the pack was damaged. There was no telling if we could bring the pack back to how it was supposed to be. But the threat of someone so unstable, someone worse than the Alpha who brought an entire pack to the brink of ruin. A wolf capable of killing his family to get what he wants. Having kidnapped my sweet, gentle mate worried me more than before. So every second I was coming up empty–handed, I felt more and more desperate. Hopelessness had settled in my chest like it was there to stay.

Not that I was about to give up, neither of us was. Still, for now, we had to retreat. We had been at it for four hours now, and we didn’t find anything. Chances that we wouldn’t find anything new were very high. We were however at risk of being discovered by David and his pack.

The marked tree had already served as a reminder to him, it was am action I already regretted now. Yesterday I was arrogant, thinking I would find her today. Not caring if David noticed how close I was or not. Only now did I consider he could lash out and hurt Ayla. But what s done is done. There was no way back anyway, so there was only one, thing left for me to do. Make sure I found her as quickly as possible, and that meant I could not lose my cool. I could not stress out now, and I was about to. So when everyone said we should go back to the pack home, I reluctantly agreed.

We said we would rest for about an hour or two, just to shower, eat and nap. After those two hours, we would meet up and discuss a new plan. There had to be something we were missing. Maybe a break and or a fresh set of eyes would do the trick. All I did in those two hours was toss

We needed a way to drive David out, to make him show himself. The problem was that he was so mentally unstable that there was no telling how he would react to whatever we were planning. None of us wanted to risk Ayla even more, all of us were very aware of the
