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.

“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.
