The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

He is right, | cannot quite bring myself to eat yet so | just drink the coffee and nibble on the sandwich, as we wait

for Jessa and Gerald. As | drink and “eat” if you can call it that. My mind drifts back to Ayla again, is she getting

breakfast? If so will the food be good, fresh healthy food

without poison in it? I try to comfort myself with the fact David wants to be her mate again, so he must at least

want to keep her alive.

“Prince Griffin, what is the matter is this about Ayla, if so can you please. tell me.” Jessa asks bursting into the

room, Gerald right behind her.

“I am sorry Prince Griffin, | couldn't stop my mate” he breathes out like he has been running.

Knowing Jessa he probably was. It's weird though | realize they are using my title to please my wolf.

“Please have a seat, you don’t need to use my titles but | do have terrible news. And yes, Jessa sadly it is about

Ayla” | swallow trying to find my next words. The wolves here in the room withare my friends, are our

friends.

So | know | don’t have to keep up a strong front, | can crumble a little and let them see how much this hurts me.

But | still need to get out the words, words that have settled on my tongue like a bitter aftertaste. Words that

make my stomach churn and my blood boil before | even say

them out loud.

“Did, David, do anything?” Jessa asks

If she was in wolf form now the hairs on her back would be bristled, there is no mistaking the venom in her voice

as she spits out his name.

“We think so, this morning | received a letter supposedly written by Ayla that she does not want to be my mate

anymore. That she has decided to give David another try and that she suggests | marry Hannah because she

would make such a good Queen.” | start to explain, but | get interrupted by Jessa’s loud scoff, and the growls of

the others filling my room.

There is no mistake if they deem Ayla capable of doing something like that. There is no question if they believe

the letter is fake or not.

“Ayla left the partly alone early last night and somewhere along the line her phone died. This morning when her

parents went to wake her they found a similar letter. Written on Ayla’s typewriter. We have no idea how he got

away with this all but neither of us believes Ayla wrote the letter. Making David the clear suspect here” | end my

explanation by looking at the three of them

“Don’t forget Hannah, that conniving little bitch will do everything to get a leg up in the competition. She and

David have been sleeping. together for a while now both not wanting to mate officially. Keeping their options

open for a better choice” Jessa adds, voice dripping with hatred for the two wolves she just mentioned.

“I still write it down, because it is useful information to have. Gerald can you and Jessa not attend the

announcement as you know the news now? Can you look into the BloodMoon pack, and pull up pictures from

Hannah, David and everyone you think might be involved, Jessa?” Finally giving sorder, and forming a plan

feels a little better.

cut the bond with her old pack and form a new one with my pack. Our pack, that should have been what today is

all about. It should have ever been like this but yet here we are.

The pack is murmuring about, no doubt wondering why they are being called into a meeting this morning when

everyone was supposed to be present for the forming of the packbond tonight. Sam, who must think this is about

Cynthia and what she pulled yesterday is as white as a sheet. Of course, several pack members have noticed

meeting is about her punishment.

“Dear Silver Moon pack, thank you for coming in on such short notice. | regret to inform you all that we have

reasons to believe that my daughter-in-law, our future Queen and Luna, Ayla Hemming was kidnapped by David

Birch. New Alpha of the BloodMoon pack, and her former mate, the one that rejected her.” Dad tells the crowd

Everyone goes silent looking at each other in disbelief, and then there is the outrage. The anger that someone

dared to hurt our Luna, our Queen-

with questions. Sof them seem genuinely angry and/or sad. But sof the faces are clouded with doubt.

Ayla did a great job at winning them over, and | am so happy she did. But it has only been three weeks since she

Dad nods and points to one of the hands raised in the air.

“Because she hates David she has openly refused him before and stopped Prince Griffin from causing a war. Or
