The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

150 Griffin

It was good to have it all out in the open, but still with every word I felt I disappointed her more and more. The only thing I never wanted to do was to disappoint her. Not just because she was my mate. I honestly think if I would have to pick a chosen mate, she would still be the only one I could have ever fallen in love with. She is so perfect for me that I‘ sometimes don’t understand why we are each other’s second chance

mates.

It means David was better suited to her than I was. It was always an afterthought, though. Something that popped up in the moments when I realized how perfect she was for me. I know part of her wish to be David’s mate, David’s Luna stemmed from her will to help the Blood Moon pack, her pack, the pack where she grew up was going to do better. Even as the Queen, she could have helped the BloodMoon pack Now that I ruined her chances at that, I suddenly felt the weight of only being her second chance made weight me down.

Being pitied never felt good, still, I was more than ready to be faced with Ayla’s pity. Or with her anger for absolving the pack she wanted to rescue. Not with the fragile determination she had when she told me she needed to tell me something. Like she was sitting on a huge secret without knowing what letting us all in on the secret would do to us.

To hear that not only does your compatibility change depending on how you grow and evolve as a person. But that, she sometimes picked the second–best choice for you. because of what it could mean for the pack or the kingdom. Or whatever she figured needed the help of a specific couple. It was jarring, I have always

me and I know what she meant, she must be afraid that her revelations changed something for me. Made me feel less sure, or maybe even disappointed in my faith. In my love for the Mood Goddess and our cultures. All I hear though is that I am not just her second chance mate. I am the most perfect wolf out there for her. How can I blame Selene for wanting Ayla to save a pack that was on the brink of ruin for so long? Like Ayla said, it’s not like I would have been unhappy if I found my first fated mate. I would not know what I could have had

becoming a struggle though, I was unsure how long I could keep holding back on this attraction I still had towards her. The urge to mark her as mine was always on my mind. I still did not want to bother her with it. David had told me she planned to complete the mating process the day she would permanently move into the castle. Since she got back, I never heard from her about completing the mating process again. She would be the one

It was another Friday again, another weekend where we would spend all of our time together. Tonight was the first time she was going to try to shift. She asked me to come with her, to shift so that Conan could be there to support Willow. Of course, I said yes. Not only would I always do everything I could to support
