The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

171 Griffin

As soon as I noticed that the commotion outside our door wasn’t going to stop I wanted to kill whoever

was trying to bash in our door. Ayla was too far gone in her heat now, for the next three days she would

barely be able to have a real conversation with me. Or not about anything else but me but our future at

least. As for me, I had just enough control left to get off the bed and go see who was at the door- not

bothering getting dressed, or doing anything to hide my arousal. Everyone in this pack knew exactly

what they were walking into. If something serious was up they could have mindlinked me

“Don’t Griff” Dillion called out to me as soon as the door cracked open.

He should have known it only made me more curious. As a result, I swung open the door entirely to be

faced with Cynthia. Maybe I should have covered up more because I did not like the lustful gaze she

swept over my naked body.

“You stank up the entire place with the smell of sex between you and our future Queen” Dillion spoke

as he rushed over.

While the heat doesn’t affect male wolves as much as it does she- wolves. We are not immune to it

either and with being a royal wolf. My dominance is stronger and Cynthia deliberately disturbing my

mate and me when in heat. It could cause me to lose control and rip her throat out. Dillion’s joke

brought me back to the present, reminding me of what I was doing. What I would be doing again in

seconds if I just dealt with this quickly?

“What is it you want Cynthia?” I snarled gripping the door frame. I could faintly hear Ayla moan.

With her being too far lost in the heat I could only imagine what she was doing. I wanted to be with her,

she should be doing those things. with me. Not to mention how vulnerable she was now. I didn’t want.

“I am offering you one last chance, Griffin you know I am a better. match for…” From there on out

everything happened lightning fast.

Dillion growled as he pulled Cynthia from the door. The man was jokes ninety percent of the time. But

he was loyal to a fault, and the anger coming off of him in waves as the insult to his future Queen

clearly left him on edge.

“Thank you, Dillion, bring her to her father please we will decide what to do when the heat is over” I

ordered him.

Not because I like ordering around my friend, but because I didn’t know what he was capable of with

how mad Cynthia made him. I was right too because the disappointment that he could not punish her

was written all over his face. All I wanted was to go back to Ayla though and see what she was doing.

Never did I expect to see her teasing me like that, playing with me like that and in that moment I got

lost in the heat too.

I woke up to Ayla rubbing up to me still sleeping. Hours ago she had passed out during her org asm. It

wasn’t even uncommon for she- wolves still it scared me for a few seconds. Until I noticed she had

drifted off into a peaceful sleep. I was tired too and I must fallen asleep. not long after. Ayla wasn’t up

yet but she was getting there that much was clear. I slipped out of bed to make us our coffee.

Determined to not even let the heat come between me making her a coffee.

By the time I got back, Ayla was still asleep, which made sense as the heat was tiring. However, she

had gotten restless without me. After

calmed down for a few seconds before rubbing up to me again, Clearly she didn’t need to be fully

awake to feel the effects of the heat. Since we both fell asleep naked yesterday a plan formed in my

mind. I pushed her flush against my body. My erection rested between her butt cheeks as I wrapped

as she becomes undone. And I followed her soon.

As soon as I pull out she turns to me, face calm and soft again. She mumbles a sweet good morning

into my chest. For a few moments, we do not speak, just lying here snuggled up together. Until her

stomach rumbles, Ayla sits up, so I sit up with her, handing her, her mug of coffee. Eaming me a bright

smile, I think back to yesterday evening, Maybe I should tell her about Cynthia but there is no telling

how she is going to respond when she is hormonal like this. I want to believe that she still is the same

kind and sweet girl as I know her to be. But with the heat, you can never be sure. And honestly, I

wanted to stay in this peaceful, bubble with her. I am sure she will understand if I will tell her later.

Because no matter what, we need to deal with Cynthia because at this rate she is never going to stop.

Nothing that she does is severe enough to inflict real punishments on her. No matter how much I want

than I am. So for now I am going to leave it be. Instead, I went out of the room, to see if any of the pack

members left meals already. Sure I could whip up some breakfast for the two of us. But neither of us

can bear to be away from each other for too long. I always miss her when she is not close to me but

normally I would be more than able to be away for her just to make breakfast. But the heat isn’t just

about lust it makes everything more intense. Including how much we love each other and how much we

miss each other when we are not closer.

Luckily even with the short time we have been locked up in our chambers. Several pack members have

left meals, and talismans. outside of our door. Most I can guess who they are from there is just one odd

parcel. I just take them all inside and bring the still-hot chicken and waffles no doubt made by Milo to

the bedroom.

That is why I declined her offer it wouldn’t be fair to any of us. Not on Jessa who would then spend a

large part of her life in a job she did not want. Not on me because I would always feel guilty about

forcing my best friend into doing something she didn’t want to. And not on the pack and the country

who deserved a Gemma who was all in. Someone who wanted this job to help me take care of the

pack.

Her father Theo had been a homemaker by choice. That is why we spent most of our childhood there.

When she offered me to become my Gemma I reminded her of that and told her she should just expect

all our pups to hang around their home as the rest of us were working leading the country. Adding in

the would have the hardest job out of all of them. At the time it was a joke, to make her feel better

about not helping out as she put it. Now I laid my hands down on my stomach because that fantasy

might become a reality much sooner.

“Did you feel anything, you shouldn’t be able to already right?” I hadn’t noticed Griffin walk in with our

coffees just as I was cradling my stomach.

Another sign that the heat was dwindling, seeing I was not hyper- focused on Griffin anymore.

“No I am not, just thinking about the fact that I might very well be pregnant now” I smiled at Griffin. The

heat may have come much sooner than either of us expected.

We both have always wanted a big family, I wanted at least three pups. Probably because of how

happy I was growing up with a younger brother and sister. We all had our own friends, but still, we had

an inseparable bond. Even now that we had grown up we still did. Sure we didn’t live in the same

house anymore and we did not speak to each other daily. Not even Dan and me even though we lived

in the same pack. Still, I know without a doubt in my mind that they would always be there for me when

I needed them too. As I would for them.

“It seems like you are feeling more like yourself today?” Griffin asked as he settled in the bed next to

me.

I nodded taking a sip of my coffee just being content with sitting so close to him this time. Not feel the

need to practically crawl in his Ja p to get as much physical contact as I could.

am I think we can spend today getting our bearings, looking at all the gifts we have gotten. And let the

pack know we will be back to our usual work starting tomorrow?” I suggested being met with his bright

smile as he agreed with me

We both know that if push came to shove we would have been able to get back to the grind today if it

was needed Luckily we were in the calm before the storm, as it was good to have a day together

Where we could just enjoy each other’s company Let the effect of the heat slowly wane Not to mention

that I had seen the ridiculous amount of offerings we had The list of meals Grillin had kept that were

brought to us. I wanted to write to each and every pack member who left us a gift Either as a welcome

to the pack gift or as a blessing for our heat a handwritten thank you note

A sincere thank you, both because my pack deserved so. And secondly to show them the kind of

leader I was going to be to them. I had seen firsthand the damage an arrogant leader who values

themselves above their pack could do. It left me determined to show my pack, our pack, that I was their

equal We all had a role to play in this pack and this country’s dynamic While mine was a heavy burden

to carry, it was not the only role of importance The strength in a pack, in a country, liest with its weakest

link. There was only one Luna, One Queen, but there were dozens of warriors and pack doctors and

even more omegas Their voice could grow louder than just my voice

“Let’s enjoy one last meal made for us by Milo, and then maybe we can have breakfast in the pack

kitchen tomorrow?” Grillin suggested showing me we were both on the same level.

“Darling, there is something I need to tell you, please now I only kept it from you because of the

circumstances” Griffin started after being quiet and thoughtful for a few moments. I understood why he

had not told.

me.

After all the heat would have made me a little unstable. That didn’t mean I hated the fact that we never

seemed to be able to catch a break. I did not regret anything that happened to me or to us. I believe my

life. and experiences so far shaped me up to the person I was today. And I had no doubt it had led met

to Griffin. With that it lead me to the best thing that ever happened to me. All I wanted now is a break,

just enjoy getting to know this pack, learning how to rule it. And settle into the life I was creating with

Griffin without threats from the outside. Without people trying to mess with our relationship.

“How bad it is” I asked Griff trying hard and failing harder to keep the exhaustion out of my voice.

“Well compared to all the shi t we went through together I would say it’ s more of an annoyance than a

serious matter” His answer was humorless.

He wasn’t making a joke to downplay what had happened he seriously. thought what happened wasn’t

all that bad. It was just something he needed to share with me. It comforted me a little. So I settled

down into the cus hions of the new comfortable couch to listen to what he was about to tell me. He

started by reminding me of that first night when I had gotten into the heat. The time when he left me

alone on the bed to check out what all the commotion at our door was. I remember not wanting to get

up and check it because I was way too preoccupied by what we were doing.

“It was Cynthia offering me a last chance to be with her and not you. And Dillion was about to kill her

for disrespecting his friend, future Luna, and future Queen like that. I commanded him to take her home

to her father and he was upset he could not execute any real punishment” Despite the situation, or

maybe because of the absurdity of it, I laughed.

I could see Dillion steaming with anger, wanting to lash out at Cynthia. I also remember how Griffin had

walked out to open the door completely naked, still turned on by what we had been doing moments

before. Griffin was right it was not a serious situation. Cynthia was a nuisance but she seemed

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

relatively harmless. To the point where imagining Griffin having to give Dillion commands as his Crown

Prince butt-naked made me laugh.

“So you’re not upset, with her or me?” Griff asked me.

“I am not liking her trying to make the moves on my mate. But I actually pity her. Because I fully trust

you, I know I have nothing to worry about. As for you, you’ve done nothing wrong.” I kiss his cheek to

reassure him even more.

And it seems to work, I see the tension leave his body as he settles back into the cus hions of the

couch. He starts to explain that he hates what Cynthia is doing but that nothing she does is severe

enough to warrant a real punishment. The most we can hope for is a bit of social exclusion. Everyone

knows why she had been locked up during my kidnapping. What I did not know is that most if not every

pack member had found my lack of punishment. A sign of my forgiving nature and empathy.

I honestly wanted Cynthia to be reunited with her dad, and not have someone excluded on a day that

was all about celebrating old and new bonds. I ended up portraying myself in a far better light than she

had been doing.

“Maybe we can talk to her, and have her father join the conversation. Just to let her know that we do

not condone this behavior. And warn her of the consequences. We might not punish her but it’s going

to damage her standing in the pack” I suggest, because while I cannot punish her I don’t want to just let

it happen either. Luckily Griffin. agrees with me.

“This is why I know you will be the best Luna and the best Queen I could ever wish for. Even if you still

doubt yourself some time” He beams at me.

We decided we had to wait until after Hannah’s trial though because among all the gifts left at our door,

there was one single envelope. At first, we figured it had a card or a drawing but it was nothing like that.

It was a letter from the council of Elder wolves, requesting we let them know when the heat was over.

So they could be here the next day, to start with the preparation for the trial. Both of us want to wait

until tomorrow to let them know. However, changes are they will find out that we were able to go back

to normal today. And it would hurt not just our standing with the council of elders. It would also be a

sign of great disrespect and with that, it could prove detrimental to the trial.

Not wanting to risk it, Griffin decides to contact the council right away. Hoping that the fact it is already

past noon means they are unable to make it here by tomorrow. It would be the ideal situation where we

still have some time to settle back into our normal life. Without having to prepare for a trial and without

having to lie to the Council of Elders.

“And now we wait” Griff breathes out as he closes the laptop he used to contact the elders.

He seemed a little down and I had how the last day of what should be a happy occasion. The day when

we should bond even more. Bask in how much stronger our connection has gotten during this period of

heat. Now that we are both back to our senses, is getting

overshadowed by the things we still have to deal with.

“Baby, I took a bath this morning you’re still in your pajamas. Go have a shower or bath so we can

decide on what to have for lunch after.” I prompt Griffin, elated to see that the use of the nickname still

makes him smile like that.

Little does he know that the reason I never used a nickname before was because it made it feel too

real. The lack of inhibitions because of the heat made me use the nickname the first time. That didn’t

mean it was some lust-induced thing. Something I would never say again now that I was back to my

senses again. It was a nickname I had swallowed down. dozens of time to protect my heart. But the

past few days had shown me that there was nothing I could do to protect my heart from breaking if

Griffin would ever betray me. It had also reinforced the knowledge that he never would. I regret how we

started out, and I know I still wasn’t fully healed from the betrayals in my past. But as I started chopping

vegetables to surprise Griffin with a homemade lunch. I realized how much I had grown as a person

and how much being with my wonderful mate still let me grow and heal.
