The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

This must have been why Griffin seemed like he was avoiding me. I suspected he was just busy with

work. I convinced myself that I was seeing things again, well he actually had been hiding something

from me. Of course, the only thing he would ever hide from me was something like this.

“Yes, yes Griffin of course I want to marry you more than anything in the world” I sobbed

I was overwhelmed with how happy I was. How beautiful his words were and how well the ring suited

my tastes. It was not the standard gold ring with a diamond. This was a platinum ring with an agate

stone. It was my exact size and I wondered how he managed to do that as he slid the ring on my finger.

My entire body erupted in goosebumps and I was sure we would make it to the end of the night. For

now, though we had to mingle the engagement had only caused more people to want to talk to us.

More congratulations are to be received.

Normally I would have loved that, but now with the symptoms of the heat getting stronger, I wish I could

just get out of here. Go home with Griff and jump his bones, to thank him for yet another wonderful

experience. Funny how at first I disliked the idea of living in a quarter of the castle. I supposed it would

not feel like home if I did not have my front door. Now I was wishing I could go home as I was walking

around mingling in the ballroom a few feet from the quarter I lived in.

“Princess Ayla, I made you a gift can I give it to you” A little girl whose name I remember was Rosa

tugged at my skirt.

Her mother came rushing up to us. Probably worried about the greasy

toddler hands on my stunning dress. But I didn’t mind at all, I kneeled to be at eye-level with Rosa and

asked her to show me the gift. It was a beaded necklace, she must have made herself. It was bright



and had all- the colors she could find that did not match my dress. Still, the admiration shining through

in her big gray eyes made me want to make her happy. So I put the necklace on just as Rosa’s mother

reached us.

“I am so sorry Princess Ayla, I hope she didn’t bother you. My mate and I brought you a gift and Rosa

here wanted to give you something too.” She explained I figured as much when the new or future Luna

gets accepted into the pack it is common for others to bring the new couple gifts. The value didn’t

matter as much as the fact that most members would give something meaningful. Something that came

from a tradition. Or something handmade, so this necklace perfectly fits the bill. So that is what I told

Rosa’s mother.

After the ceremony, and Griffin proposing to me, I still hadn’t eaten a single bite. Now I was hungry and

constantly aroused. I hadn’t had the chance to talk to my family much either. I knew from the start that

this was part of being one of the rulers of a pack. I had seen it with my grandparents, my uncle and

aunt, and even with Alpha Philip. Even if he seemed to enjoy it when all the attention was on him, he

was a different type of leader. But he didn’t deserve to die like he did. No one would have, and I hated I

was suddenly thinking about him on a night like this.

Probably because tonight was everything I could have wanted. Still, it was so vastly different from the

life I thought I would get. I never had enough time to process it all. Suddenly my thoughts were

interrupted by an arm around my waist. The smell of pulled pork made my stomach rumble. Griffin’s

stubble scratched my cheek when he whispered into my ear.

“When tonight is over, I will take care of you the way you need it most. But for now, I’ll take care of you

like this you will need the energy”

It only fueled my desire for him, his eyes darkening showed me that he knew what was happening.

Leaving me a little afraid that the other pack members would pick up on the scent of my arousal too.

“Don’t worry it’s just me as your mate who smells it now” Griffin mind linked me putting me a little more

at ease.

Just to be sure, I decided to make my way over to my family. For most, it might have been awkward to

talk to their family while being this aroused. For me, it wasn’t because while every pack member knew

we had to rush this ceremony because I was about to go into heat. It was still a somewhat private

matter, one I would rather go through with loved ones than with pack members I barely knew.

As I made my way over to them with Griffin to chat with them as I was eating my pulled pork tacos.

Cynthia made her way over to us, she had a wicked smile on her face, and a glass of red wine in her

hand. I felt Griffin tense up like me he knew she was about to cause trouble in a way where it would

look bad on us if we behaved accordingly. We changed the course of our direction but that didn’t deter

her one bit.

Suddenly we heard loud gasps around us, followed by a voice I knew all too well;

“Oh my, I am sorry I am so clumsy I still haven’t gotten used to this stomach.” Kate apologized to

Hannah who was drenched in her red wine. Staining her pastel pink dress.

The wink she shot me, was proof that Kate had seen what Hannah was about to do. She not only

stopped Cynthia from doing so but no one would go off against a pregnant wolf. Or maybe Cynthia

would but she would be the one who looked bad not us. Tim came rushing up, offering Cynthia to pay

for the cleaners or a new dress if the damage would turn out to be irreparable. Looking at the dress that

might be the case. For a moment I figured Tim, sweetheart as he is, did not know his mate planned all

of this.

I was still coming to terms with the fact that Kate and Tim were here. It meant they had seen Griffin



propose to me. I rushed over to them.

“What is wrong with you, you keep getting in my way all of you” Cynthia started screaming.

But Sam was quick to pull his unruly daughter away dragging her out of the ballroom as Sam

mindlinked the entire pack to apologize for his daughter’s behavior yet again. It was sad to hear the

exhaustion in his voice. We would need to deal with this later, I did not believe that Cynthia would pose

a danger for us. She wouldn’t go further than cruel pranks and petty behavior nothing too serious.

With nothing stopping me now, I made my way over to Tim and Kate. The last time I had seen them I

was a mess and I had not responded well to seeing Kate and her beautiful huge pregnant belly. When

she left to go back home she reassured me that she was not mad and she understood why I acted like

I did. Still, I wanted to be sure this time we would have a nice time together.
