The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

68 Ayla

It turns out most of the BloodMoon pack members, including Alpha Philip suspected David and I were

mates. This pull between young wolves when they are mates growing up in the same pack is fairly

common. It’s always just a close friendship, sweet and wholesome. Looking back Alpha Philip must

have known because at first, David wasn’t happy about needing to befriend me. Only to grow to love

spending time with me. Wanting to see me every free moment, and telling them he was going over to

me without them asking him to do so. As the pack’s leaders, and with that knowing a lot about our

heritage, culture, etc. Both Alpha Philip and his mate knew the chances of us being mates were high.

Especially since David would never pay much attention to other She-wolves during events.

Something his dad, would have wanted him to do. Already preparing to find a chosen mate if his fated

mate was not “up to standard”. It was why Hannah would always be jealous of me, maybe she realized

that the chances of her being the fated mate of the wolf she was in love with were small. It was also

during one of these events Dad overheard Alpha Philip tell his Beta. Hannah and Jason’s father.

“I am so sorry, Sweetheart I feel like I could have prevented this all from happening. I feel like I failed

you because I did not. Back then I wanted to believe that your fated mate would be perfect for you like

your mom is for me.” He swallows again visibly upset.

But it was not his fault, I hate all that had happened to me. Still, I feel like it had to happen to me. It

ended up leading me to Griff, the fated mate my parents wanted me to have. The fated mate that was

perfect for me, and who made me just as happy as my parents make each other. So I prompt Dad to

just tell me, reassuring him he isn’t the one to blame. That there was nothing he could have done this

to me.

“Besides, Dad, it all turned out okay. I needed to go through this to understand what I am capable of.

And what I need from my mate, and I found that fated mate who is more than perfect for me” Griffin

pulls me closer to him, causing my cheeks to flush with the upcoming heat. And Dad just smiled at me

before continuing:

“I overheard Philip talk about how he never wanted a runt like you to be his son’s fated mate. He was

unsure if he would allow it though because you were a pretty thing coming from a strong Alpha

bloodline. He just wanted to find out how high the chances of his grandchildren being small too were.

And as if that wasn’t enough, he then said that he would never allow you and David to marry. Mated or

not he would never agree to his son to indulge in dumb human traditions” Even with me telling him he

wasn’t the one to blame, Dad still looked crushed remembering that conversation.

I had always been very honest about wanting to marry because it was a tradition in my family. As I

have always been very honest and vocal about being proud of my human heritage, and the humans I

considered family. Having lived as a human for years caused her to have some human friends. People

who were there for her through thick and thin, helping her when her life was falling apart. Accepting her

and Grandpa for who they were. My father was named after her best friend and former co-worker Jay. I

grew up visiting Uncle Jay his husband, their daughter, and grandchildren and I always loved them.

Both my parents knew about my dreams for the future, now I know they knew about Griffin proposing to

me. Dad must have been emotional to find out that in the end, I did get the dream life, I wanted as a

little girl. Something none of us dared to hope for anymore. Not to mention that during the kidnapping I

had to survive. It was the only thing on my mind to survive to get back to Griffin, my family, and my

pack. Almost everything I did was with that on my mind. It never had

been much, but I was able to do something to get out of that situation. While all my family could do was

wait and hope to find a clue to get me back. He never said the words out loud but he must have feared

he was going to lose his oldest daughter. Then he tried to save the pack I dreamed of saving only to

find out he couldn’t.

This night was supposed to be about me and Griffin. About our love and the future we would shape

with that love. None of that would have happened without the support of my family/our families though.

And so I am happy to spend this time with mine. Reassuring them, letting them know that they have

nothing to worry about anymore. Griffin being so happy to spend time with them too. Makes me love

him more, and it leaves me wondering if I will ever reach the height of our love. If there will ever be a

moment where I do not love him more. Because so often I realize that I actually love him more than I

did before.

“Everyone, I want to thank you for supporting me and your Princess like you have. Not only welcoming

my mate into our pack with open arms. But celebrating with us too. You all can continue the festivities

for as long as you want. However, my mate and I are tired and we are going to retire to our room for the

night.” Griffin’s last speech is not only met with thundering applause but with chuckles and wolf whistles

too.

Unsurprisingly because we had to let the pack know what the rush was, about me joining the pack

tonight. Leaders going through heat is always announced, as it is a big deal for the wolf community. Not

to mention the fact of us not coming out of our chambers for three or four days would be a dead

giveaway. Every adult wolf in here knows why we are retiring from our own party early. By the time we

wake up tomorrow, there will be a pile of gifts and talismans waiting for us just outside our room.

It would just be plain weird that we are going to our room to mate for

hours and hours on end. Because I am barely holding on anymore. It has gotten to the point where I

feel dizzy. Being in heat makes a she- wolf vulnerable as her hormones and instincts take over

everything. Even Griff’s hand on my lower back to guide me out of the ballroom is setting me ablaze

right now. With Griffin though I feel safe being this vulnerable, certain he will take care of me and keep

me safe until we reach our chambers. Where he can then take care of me like he promised he would

earlier this night when he brought me the plate of food.

Even when he tells me it would be wise for me to take an ice-cold shower, a way to temporarily stop the

heat symptoms. Something you would usually do when you can’t or do not want to act on the heat I

trust him. He would never plan on me riding out this heat by taking cold showers and ice baths.
