The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

“I am taking in Hannah for questioning, you follow the others through the tunnels and arrest them. Princess Ayla has escaped her kidnappers. We need to search the woods for her” I mindlink the warriors, as Jay mindlinks his pack members.

We rush back to the pack house, without needing to speak, we both know where we want to go. Likewise, we walk her to Jay’s office, his eyes glossed over on the way there. As we arrived, Tessie was waiting for us, arms crossed over her chest and a face that spelled trouble.

“I am sorry, I had to, she is Ayla’s mother after all” Jay whispered to me.

Now that I was so close to having my mate back, I could hear the double meaning of Jay’s words. It made sense that he told Tessie, as she was his mate and Ayla’s mother. But I just knew he made it clear that Ayla’s fierceness came from her mother and not him.

“Jay, Griffin, please tell me that you did not hurt a she–wolf, however despicable she is?” Tessie asked, there was an edge to her voice I could not quite place.

She has been through a lot too, so I didn’t think too much of it. Not until I noticed the regretful look on Jay’s face. I knew it wasn’t because he hit

Hannah because he hadn’t been alone with her. The answer came in the form of Tessie’s fist, socking Hannah right in the nose. There was a sickening crunch like someone crumbled up a cracker. Then my sweet, caring, and gentle mother–in–law shook her hand to loosen her fingers. Preparing for the next punch.

“Tessie, she is pregnant” I yelled at her, I knew she wouldn’t want to beat up a pregnant wolf.

“Lucky you, I care for your unborn mutt more than you did for my pup” She snarled at Hannah.

But she opened the door to the office and took a seat. We had Hannah sit down across from Tessie. As we sat down next to our respective mate and mother–in–law.

“Like I told you, Hannah, I can give both you and David a royal pardon for the execution. But only if you tell me what happened. Starting by what caused you to run out this morning” I told her.

I wanted to know all that had happened, and how my sweet mate had been treated. That wasn’t the priority now, though. Knowing how she had managed to escape. What she had with her, how long she had been gone etcetera, etcetera would provide me with the most answers.

He isn’t as bad as you all think he is.

But

we should not just execute you and David. And your pup with it” The sweet caring Tessie that held Hannah’s hand was replaced by the ice–cold venomous woman that just punched a younger

and I was glad I was on her good side. It was effective though because Hannah crumbled and started sobbing again. But this time she wasn’t just crying, telling all of us how much she loved that son of a bitch. Now he told me about the punishments. About Ayla being chained to the bed, and not getting fed enough. My knuckles turned white from the force I used to hold the top of the desk. All to try to stop myself from lashing out at Hannah, either verbally or physically.

and that he had found David unconscious” While I resent, Hannah I understand why she ran out of her like she did.

David, did come to, he had trouble speaking and when Hannah arrived we did

suspects though is that Ayla realizing, David forgot to chain her to the bed after she had passed out again and had tried to kill David. All so she could get the keys from his body and escape.

He must have passed out and stopped struggling, and she must have seized the opportunity and ran. Leaving us with the question of why she wasn’t here yet. More so since Jason, thinking
