The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

The last thought in my mind before falling asleep yesterday was to tell Jay about Ayla possibly being underground. Part of me had wanted to get excavators and just started digging. The sensible part of me knew that would be a dumb thing to do. Without knowing where to dig, we could hurt Ayla and possibly innocent bystanders. Or we could just alert David and his new pack that we knew they were hiding underground. Causing them to come up with a different hiding place. To give credit. where credit was due, from hearing about him and interacting with him. I would have never been deemed capable of doing something like that.

But when I woke up this morning I was unable to move, I felt hot and shaky, and I noticed my bedding and pillows were soaked with sweat. It felt like someone had sprinkled glass splinters in every single joint. Making the pain of moving my heave jelly–like limps excruciating. I panicked, even when I quickly realized this had nothing to do with how Ayla was feeling. This was just my own body giving up on me.

“Dillion, Gerald, I am so ill I cannot move can you guys come to my room and help me” I mind–linked my best friends, aware of the fact that I would never make it out of this bed alone.

Like clockwork, they were in the room with me in three minutes. Where I expected them to pity me, and tease me a bit. And then help me get ready to go to my meeting with Jay. They both gave me judgmental stares, Gerald even had his arms crossed. I rolled my eyes at them,

“I know, I know, I should have taken better care of myself now, please help me get out of this bed, so I can shower and make it to my meeting with Jay.” I croaked out, getting my voice above a whisper was a struggle.

“Griff, I love you, but we won’t Dillion is going to the meeting as your Beta. And you are finally getting some rest. You’ve been running yourself to the ground” Gerald stated, like he was the one with the authority here.

“Stop messing around Gerald, I am still your Crown Prince, which makes me higher ranking. You need to do as I tell you” But even I could hear there was no authority in my voice.

“Ha Ha we thought about that too, technically all I need to do is call the King and ask him what he wants us to do” Dillion threatened, knowing. very well Mom would panic.

She would force Dad to bring me home until I was healed, in our pack hospital before letting me go back to the BloodMoon pack.
