The Prince’s Unwilling mate

197 Ayla

“How did you know, I am pregnant who told you?” I asked, I wasn’t mad at him.

It seemed like he hadn’t told anyone and if he had either overheard or was told by someone else. It wouldn’t even be his fault either. But if Dean, knew chances were more people knew.

“I am the middle child of ten, Ayla, I have seen my mother, two sisters, and a sister-in-law so many times. So adding up sof your new habits and the fact that your heat was only weeks ago. Don’t worry I haven’t told anyone.” I smile at the fact Dean already knows what I was worried about.

It showswhat a good friend and Gemma he can be. I am still not done with this discussion. Knowing Dean, it could very likely have been a tactic to distract me. To fold and accept him quitting as my Gemma. In hopes of accommodating a mate, he might find in the future who might not be able to move to the Silver Moon pack. But I am not about to!

“So what you are saying is you rather abandonand the rest of the pack now, just in case your mate is unable to move in with the Silver Moon pack? And what if your mate can move to the Silver Moon pack? Are you going to watch whoever has taken over for you for the rest of your life?” Dean is just silently listening tobut I can see how much he hates the idea,

“It is not like that I am just trying to do what is best for you. I know I will meet my mate one day, we are meant to be so we will find each

other.” I agree Dean will find his fated mate, he deserves too.

“Dean, if he is your fated mate, the two of you will manage to figured something out. No matter both of your ranks. Until then, though I would rather have you as my Gemma for a short time. And know you

are quitting because the Moon Goddess herself saw you were needed somewhere else. Then to see you missing the function we all still wished you had.” We are almost at the airport, and I didn’t have a lot of tto get on to the jet after we arrived. But I really wanted an answer before I flew off to meet Griffin.

“I would love to stay on, but only if you really are sure that you wouldn’t mind it if I will just have to quit later on in a few months, or even a few more years.” Dean was coming around but he still was reluctant. He needed smore reassurance.

I knew where he was coming from though, that’s why I offered to have the royal lawyers draw up a contract. One that would state he would always be free to step down from his function if he met his mate. And he would have to move out of the pack to be with his fated mate. It was enough for him to agree, now I had nothing to worry about as I boarded the jet. It had been such a long tsince I wasn’t worried about anything. That this peace felt unnatural. To the point I felt a little anxious, like it was all too good to be true. I pushed those feelings, in a few more hours I would be in Griffin’s arms again. With him being more quiet than I expected him to be. I was missing him even more than I expected too. And seeing him would definitely help with feeling so on edge.

Griffin was waiting forat the airport, it was cute he was holding a

big bouquet of roses. Like we wouldn’t spend the night in a hotel to go back hin two more days. The only thing in sight bigger than the bouquet was his bright smile. I was sure my smile was just as bright, and his washed away all my worries about him being a little quiet. I didn’t want to be the mate that tracked her mate’s every move. I knew I could trust Griffin and I wanted him to have fun with his friends. That’s why I was taken aback when after hugging and kissinghe said he needed to talk. Before I could ask him what it was I sense another wolf.

“You’re a little early, River.” Griffin spoke without looking up, still holdingin his embrace.

The fact that Griffin knew this wolf and seemed to like him eased my worries tremendously. Now I just wanted to know what was the matter. How did Griffin manage to meet up with a wolf when he was out with his human friends? Maybe that was why he had been a bit quiet, it must have been a struggle to be with both.

“This is River from the Dark Moon pack, Darling. He’s also

MoonFighter20, it tooka few seconds to comprehend what Griffin was saying. One of his gamer friends was a wolf too. I cannot imagine how weird it must have been for River.

“I am sorry Princess Ayla, but when I noticed Griffin I panicked. I bowed down for him and addressed him as his royal highness” River admitted and I could tell he still was feeling bad about it. He was feeling too bad for it to have been just between him and Griffin.

“Who saw?” Was the only thing I could utter, because Griffin andhad been so unsure about telling them who we were exactly. If they all or most of them saw there was nothing to choose anymore.

“Darling, I am sorry I have been a little quiet but I have been busy managing things. Because they all saw” Griffin was the one to answer my question.

Since both Griffin and River were here to pickup, instead of going back hto their respective packs I figured it went well enough. Despite being kind of bummed out I would be a princess, an influential person. When I had hoped, to just be a normal girl, most of the other guys had partners too so it would be all of us together for the last two days.

“Yes, you’re right it went well. But I guess we have to invite them to the wedding now.” Griffin jokingly answered the question I didn’t even have to ask him yet.

In the end, it was very unfortunate, but it was what it was. The guys accepted it, now we just needed to tell their partners. According to the guys, the partners would all be okay with it too. River was a little nervous about that claim. But as a mated wolf, more than anyone he knew we could never ask their friends to lie to their partners. When I got into the jet I figured I would get into a car with Griffin so I could be whisked away to a fun holiday. Now I was getting into a cab, to tell three human girls that I wasn’t just a human girl. I needed to tell them I was one of the monsters they had been brought up to scare them. I hoped it could go over as well as the others believed it would go. And I hoped, the other girls would still seeas one of their own.
