The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

I underestimated how much going out to the food truck festival would take out of me. When Griffin returned with a fruit salad and a fresh smoothie to watch our show, I felt so understood. And I told myself I would make it through at least two episodes. So that I could have some quality time with him. But I never caught the ending of the first episode. Now I woke up in an empty bed.

Hating the knowledge that I still couldn’t mindlink him, I got my phone to see if he texted me. He didn’t and I could hear he wasn’t in the rooms with me. That feeling of having lost him, of him having run away from me, was there for a split second. Where I used to let the fester months ago, I reminded myself of how good he was for me. How good our relationship was and I managed to calm myself down quickly.

He is probably just in his office, so maybe I could go ahead and surprise him by showering and bringing him his coffee. So I made my way to the kitchen where I found an already used coffee cup. Showing me, I was most likely right and Griff had just got up early to get some work done. It was not like he hadn’t suffered from all that happened to me: Not to mention that I could see how busy he must have been with finding me, taking care of me, just sitting at my bedside. That he must be drowned in work. More so since I still was unable to help him.

“I will take better care of myself, heal the best I can so I can be the future Queen and Luna Griffin deserves as soon as I can.” I told myself

And temporarily forgetting all about showering and making coffee, I got a notebook and set down at our dining table. I wrote down all the things I needed to do. Perhaps I can ask one of the doctors for some sort of physical therapy to get stronger quickly. Since the pack knew what happened to me, I could probably find a comfortable spot to have the Gemma interviews. So I wrote down a meeting with Krystel to go over Gemma’s on the list too. Of course, I would ask Griffin if he had any tips. But I wanted to do this without him, so as not to burden him more.

It must have been thirty minutes, and the list seemed daunting but it felt good to have a list. And deep down I knew I had enough time to get it all done, there was no rush. Nobody expected me to work yet, everyone expected me to take a break. To rest until I was feeling better. I heard the door open, as I was about to look up and greet whoever was visiting me Figuring it would probably be Dillion who never knocked or just Griffin coming in to check up on me. When I heard my wonderful mate whisper to someone.

“Quiet, she has not texted me yet she is probably still asleep, let’s try to keep i….”

I could hear the exact moment he spotted me. I looked up, wondering what all the whispering and secrecy was all about.
