The Prince’s Unwilling mate

Before I could answer though Hannah cat me. And oh I wanted to fight back this time. I let it happen to me, so that David could see that I was the innocent one. Hannah grabbed my hair, which I had tied up in a ponytail. She used my hair to pullcloser to her and raised her fist ready to hit me. For a second I wondered how far David would let this get before he would intervene. Or if he would intervene at all.

But before her fist connected with my face, David stepped between us.

“ENOUGHH, Hannah I do not care for your opinion on Ayla, she is my mate she will be your Luna. You will respect her” he growled at her as I winked at her.

David couldn’t see but Hannah did and she was fuming, honestly, this was the most entertainment I had since I got here.

“Is she now David, do you not know what happened yesterday? Did you‘ not feel it?” Hannah countered David’s anger.

She wasn’t scared or upset just thoroughly annoyed. It was funny they had both rejected their first mates to be together. They obviously had, the entire pack knew and they had whispered about Hannah and notbecoming their new Luna. Which was met with mixed feelings. From what I gathered they started sleeping together from the first second

David rejected me. People bulliedwith it, and it used to be heartbreaking. I got over it and apparently they did too.

Because before David could introduce Hannah as his Luna. Hannah was looking for bigger and better things in life. She must really get tired of playing my second violin. If she wasn’t such a vile and vicous bitch maybe I would have pitied her. Now I just hated her guts, as she did mine so we were even in that regard. After all the abuse I never guessed there would be something she could do to makehate her more, but she did.

When she was going back and forth between David and waiting to see when Griffin would reject me. David had started rethinking his choice of rejecting me. Which all led to him killing his parents and me getting kidnapped. While he was arguing withlike an old mated couple, hell I felt more like their pup than the mate of either of them.

And like a small pup, I kept quiet, not because I feared them. No, I was right about the fact that something happened. Hannah seemed eager to remind David who in turn seemed to be deadset on keeping that information from me. The more he kept it fromthe more I wanted to know. The two of them had entered a screaming match. The second I would so much as move either one of them if not both would notice me. Blowing my chance of overhearing whatever happened at the Blood Moon pack.

Hannah said she doubted the chance ofbecoming her Luna because of it but that could be everything. Griffin overtaking the BloodMoon pack could be a reason. The council interfering with just all about

everything could be a wrench in the works. Hell evennot accepting him would in the end fuck everything up for David.

No matter how many mistakes the Moon Goddess made, because I was sure she was flawed like all of us. Her making sure that you could only complete the mating process as both of the partners agreed was ssolid thinking. It gavea sense of safety, it meant David had to try fortoo, which I could use for my benefit. It also meant he could not mate with me. Because of how strong our matebond had gotten over tI feared that could be the end of Griffin.

“No, Hannah, not today and that is my final say. I am still your Alpha no matter what happened and as such you will listen to me.” David must have used his Alpha voice. because Hannah looked to the floor, whispered “Yes, Alpha” and she walked away.

David did not speak about what just happened and I was smart enough to keep my mouth shut too. I was unsure what to do next, I used to think I knew who David was. What he liked and what he would wantto. do. But I learned the hard way that I had no idea who David Birch really was. And I needed to act exactly how he wantedto now more than

ever.

“Sit, let’s talk about what just happened.” He said and his tone was hard to read.

I decided I needed to show my submission, most Alpha’s would not want their Luna to be submissive to them. David however deemed women to

be beneath him. Where with my true mate I was his equal, David wantedto be submissive to him. More of a maid than a mate.

“I am sorry David, now our breakfast got cold, even if it was already lukewarm when Hannah brought it here. I am so sorry she must have been tired from walking all the way here. Only for you and her to get into a fight. When I know you are best friends” I stared at my feet again.

I had cto find out that David liked feeling like I was too scared of him to look him in the eyes. Now that I knew what to do, now that I had a plan to get out of this I was going to. Whatever David needed to feel secure and like he was having power over me. I would do until I could

escape.

“She doesn’t have to walk far, she is just a petulant little bitch, but that is not what is what is bothering me” He exasperated.

I knew what was bothering him, this entire morning had been a shit show, and now he was having a cold breakfast. On top of whatever it was that had happened to the pack. All I cared about was the fact that I‘ knew more about where we were now. We could just walk to the pack in less tthan it took for our breakfast to cool down.

“I wish I could just be with you at your home” I started careful to not mention the pack even if it was. Or well should be because with what Hannah was talking about I wasn’t sure about anything anymore.

“Oh is that so, I thought you didn’t loveanymore” Right away the

This man had more mood swings than a pregnant she–wolf. It madeneed to tread extra carefully and it was honestly exhausting but I had to deal with it. Stroking his ego might be a good idea, so I tried a new approach.

I sighed deeply before answering him. “I don’t know anymore David, I used to more than anything. You know I wanted you to be my mate. And when I smelled it was you it felt like a dream cthrough but you rejectedand stopped being my friend. Did you not know what Hannah and her friends were doing to me?”

He didn’t answerhe was listening tohis arms crossed. I had. forgotten he did that and how much I hated it. Even when we were friends, even back when I was hoping he would turn out to be my mate,

“Then Griffin found me, because Hannah made me, I needed to get away from the abuse. I didn’t like him at first, but he was so good to me. Everything you never was, you would never be. For most of my life, I would have never considered a man who wasn’t like you. But with how much you hurthow could I not? I thought I had gotten over you but when I heard Hannah brag about the two of you having sex without protection I didn’t know what to feel” I lied through my teeth, when he almost forced himself on tohe toldhe wouldn’t want protection convinced that wolves cannot get pregnant when not mated.

All I could do now was hope he was the swith Hannah, and that, it

was the little detail that would make him believe me. I didn’t even have at plan ready for when he would not believe me, for when he used protection with Hanah.
