The Prince’s Unwilling mate

Chapter 14

Griffin 14 I wanted to smack Dillion, I wanted to hurt him. It felt like minutes ago that I had to talk Ayla into trusting me enough for one dance. I had mindlinked Dillion to alert all the guards who her bullies were. To make sure that they couldn’t get to her. I wanted her to trust me and throwing them out of the ball on the grounds of them hurting my mate would only cause her to freak out again. Everyone could see that something had deeply hurt her. She had practically no self-esteem left. She had a bite mark scar on her right shoulder. Something that should have healed on a healthy wolf already. That and all that Dillion told me made me think she had been receiving beatings for a long time. Causing her b*dy to be unable to heal scars. So when she ‘visibly relaxed while dancing with me I felt like the happiest wolf on earth. It gave me hope that I would be able to convince her to give me a chance. As soon as she would I would spend all of my time showing her I would be the best mate she could have wished for. Now Dillion’s comment about me not wanting her made her run away from me. Towards Gerald who no doubt would gush about his mate and her moving to our pack. Moving to the palace, losing control, and using my Alpha voice for the second time tonight I ordered him to not speak about me, her first mate or anything even remotely related to it. His short shy answer after she and her friend walked off showed me he had already said something. All I wanted was to bask in the fact that I finally found my mate. I wanted to spend the rest of this evening getting to know as much about her as was 0.00% Griffin 14 humanly possible. Not keep putting out fires that my friends caused. Not long after Stanley came back, after Dillion made Ayla run away there was a lot of tension. Which Stanley had tried to diffuse by offering to get us drinks. I wasn’t really in the mood to talk to either of them but boy could I use a drink. That was the only reason I accepted his offer and not toldContent © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Dillion to pi ss off. Even if I didn’t say a word to him as we were waiting for our drinks. “I had the chance to explain to her you never saw her in saying you weren’t interested in her. Because you wanted to find your fated mate. It’s not much but still” He told me awkwardly giving me my beer. Mom and Dad were watching me, they saw me run after a she-wolf only for me to come back inside to dance with her. Now even as she left my side I did not interact with any of the other’s. All I did was stand here watching her. Unable to take my eyes off her, and unable to just go and talk with her. As I didn’t want to overwhelm her. I told her I would let her think about it until tomorrow. I had to keep my promise but this was the first time I wanted to break it. “Nothing is going on she needs some fresh air. She promised Jessa she would be back in fifteen” Gerald’s voice rang out through the mindlink. It partially settled my nerves now all I had to do was convince my parents to be patient. All so I could be patient with her. Walking over to talk to them I was praying to the Moon Goddess they would understand why I needed some time. Surely my parents would be happy that I finally found my fated mate. 21.05% Griffin 14 289 Vouchers “We noticed a lot happening tonight son, and we saw it all had to do with one girl. Want to tell us about her?” Dad says but he is smiling so, so far so good. “The girl is Ayla, and she is my fated mate,” I tell them and for a second I feel so proud that it is all I say. “I am so happy for you baby, so where is she? When can I meet her? What pack is she from?” Mom was as excited as I was, asking me all kinds of questions Sadly I cannot give her answers. And the fact that I do not know the most basic things about my mate will raise more questions. Wanting to rip the bandaid off I just tell them she hasn’t accepted me yet. That she was rejected before, and how Dillion walked in on her being ganged up by five other wolves. It’s obvious that they pity her so this might just work. Taking a deepbreath I ask them

to give me a few more months before I announce who my mate, my Luna is. “No way, I will not allow it. You will need a Luna, a Queen, the Luna of all Luna’s” Dad shouts at me. Mom crossed her arms disappointment clear on her face. For a moment I consider how far I am willing to go to convince my mate to give me a chance. Would I risk the throne for her? Mom wasn’t able to conceive after me. If I abdicate the royal lineage will cease to exist. “It’s a disappointment to know that if I had some struggles you would have just moved on to a chosen mate Roderick,” Mom says flatly and I need to bite my l*p not to grin at her. Dad is strict, a stickler for the rules but he loves my mother more than anything in the world. He doesn’t even stop to think about what he is saying. He doesn’t realize he is walking Griffin 14 right into the trap she set up for him. 283 Vouchers “Don’t be silly Isa, I would have moved heaven and earth to be with you. Meeting you truly was a blessing from the Moon Goddess herself. You’re worth everything to me” He tells her, all his attention on her. “Okay, so you just don’t care for Griff then?” Da mn, she is really going for the jugular here. Again Dad falls over himself to tell us he loves me he wants me to be happy. Which I know, he is a good father. I got lucky with my parents. The second mom told him she knew he would have left her if she would have had struggles he stopped shouting. Mom is the only person in the world who can make my Dad into a soft-spoken guy. Now allowing me six months to convince my mate. To get her to accept me he is practically whispering. “You can do everything you need to convince her but if she doesn’t accept you six months from now” He warns me. “Then I will choose a suitable mate and marry her.” I practically. shout at him relieved I have the time to prove to my mate that I will be a good and kind mate. I think I sense her close to the other side of the door so I rush to open it. What if there is anything she wants to talk to me about? When I open the door there isn’t anyone, so I must have imagined it.

I go back to the party, to see if I can find Ayla. Maybe she is even willing to dance with me a second time. Soon Gerald and his mate approach me, and who I still believe her two fathers to be in tow. Of course, I would have always wanted to make a good impression on Gerald’s mate. Now it’s even more important after all this girl is my mate’s 63.10% 788 Vouchers Griffin 14 best friend. We chat for a little bit, Jessa is a funny girl, and I can see how well she and Gerald fit together. Her dads are kind and they obviously care for Ayla too which makes me happy. They told me she was tired so she went to bed. With Ayla no longer here, and the need to find a chosen mate I wanted to go to my chambers too. Mom and Dad told me they would announce we decided to officially announce my choice in six months, to give me and my new mate some privacy. I see them climb up the stage in the ballroom and after they announce exactly that, telling our guests they are welcome to go back or stay and enjoy the party a little longer. Whispered voices are everywhere, everyone is questioning who I chose, and why we decided last minute to have some more privacy. Unsurprisingly a lot of the guests have picked up on everything happening between me and Ayla, and I don’t want to any questions I do not have the answers to. Excusing myself with Jessa, and her parents I go home and leave for my chambers, excited for the next morning when I can finally talk to my mate. The last thing I do before going to sleep is MoonGoddess one last time thanking her for blessing me with such a perfect m at e. 84.01% Griffin 15
