The Prince’s Unwilling mate

I hope Griffin would like the note I left him, and that he would cto our chambers. I had to stop working a bit sooner than expected to make him lunch. Fresh spicy beef taquitos, nothing fancy. But one of the first things we found out we had in common was our love for Tex–Mex food. Ever since that moment we would make each other Tex–Mex foods on special occasions. So I hoped by cooking him something like that again would show him how truly sorry I was. Show him I gave a lot of thought to how I would make this up to him.

“Darling, I found your note, are you okay?” Griffin bursts in sounding worried. When in the letter I left him I told him I was going to make it up to him. Why would he be worried? I don’t know if it was the letter or if he just regretted that silly fight we had as much as I did. But when he walked in he pulled me into a hug that was so tight that it almost leftbreathless.

“I’m sorry Griff, I know you didn’t oversleep on purpose. I am just so emotional, I don’t want to use my hormones or pregnancy

as an ex BelieveI am truly sorry for how I reacted but I felt so out of control when I did. I promise you next twhen I feel likefeelings are out of control I promise you to take a break and not go off at you as much as I did.” I told him in between kisses. He acted like he missedand I loved it.

“I know darling, and I will try to keep in mind that sometimes your reactions are not your own. To be honest I was a bit annoyed with myself and the entire situation. I could have handled everything a little

We enjoyed our lunch, never mention the fight again. We made up, we both were a part of the problem. That is being in a relationship though, if my twith Selene when I was supposed to be in a coma showedone thing. Then it would be the fact that the mate bond was not a magic fix to it all. Finally, I recognized the mate bond and having a mate for what it was. A gift from the Moon Goddess to help us find the wolf that would be able to love us,

no other. To find the one wolf on this earth.

that could help you grow and accomplish your dreams. As you would be able to help them and love them like no one else could. It wasn’t a mistake. Or a lifetsentence, it wasn’t a fairy tale that would have a happy ending regardless either. It was gift and like any other gift you needed to treat it with care to let it thrive.

“Darling, wake–up Kate, Tim and Daya will be here in an hour but this tI made you a coffee” The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the scent of my mate filled my nostrils. Makingwake–up with a big smile on my face. Both for two of my favorite smells greetingbefore I even opened my eyes. And because I would finally get to meet my baby niece today. By the tKate delivered I wasn’t able to travel by airplane not with being pregnant with twins. Kate and Tim had combined Dan and my name to make up the nof their pup. I never felt so honored as at the moment when Kate and Tim video calledto introduceto their pup and tellwhat her nwas. Tomorrow we have

“Not to dwell on yesterday, but I plan to make it up to you that I broke my promise. I know we talked about it and the issue is resolved. It has nothing to do with that though. I just love making you feel special.

He doesn’t need to but telling him so won’t stop him, I just hope that with all Kate, Tim and Daya arriving today and the gamer friends. arriving tomorrow. Griff and I won’t get sucked in by all the work and socializing with our guests. Not to the extent where we forget about each other. Not so close to our wedding day. I mean that is why we had so many guests over at once. Next month we would get married, we had decided it would be better to have Mike and the others over for a trial.

run.

Staying with the pack for a few days, so that they and the pack could get used to each other. Kate and Tim had planned a trip to surprise us. They knew how much I wanted to see, hug and hold Daya. They didn’t know the weekend they decided to cover was the weekend that Griffin’s gamer friends were here. In the end having wolves from other packs over did something to pack life. And it would be the son our wedding day.

“Uggh I don’t know what it is but I am so jittery. You would think I made my coffee with an en energy drink” Dean huffs.

Ever since his almost breakdown when he tookto the airport he has been back in his function as my Gemma. Not only did we becfriends, like I hoped we would be. And he was so good at his job. With him and Krystel getting along great too, it had all worked out perfectly. And I was glad I could have convinced him to stay on board. And while I of course hoped he would find a mate that would be willing and able to move in with the Silver Moon Pack so I could keep him on as my

“Maybe, it’s because we have a lot of guest over this weekend. Most even human?” I suggest because I wanted him to know that I would not blhim if he was. To most wolves, if their leaders invited others to their pack. They wanted to welcthe leader’s personal guest, make their leaders proud. That is what our pack would feel about the gamer friends and their partners since personally had invited them. Both Griffin and I knew that this was a bit different thought. The guests we had personally invited were humans. And humans don’t always deal. well with wolves or other creatures they consider to be mythical. So we did not mind our pack, not even our close friends or direct employees to be a bit hesitant.

“No, it’s almost like they are happy nerves. You know the feeling you get when you know something good is about to happen? Only this tI have no idea what the good that is about to happen is going to be” Dean, shrugs as he answers me, before we both get back to work. We have enough to do as it is.

“Shit, Ayla, do you smell that, we need to, no I mean I need to you don’t. How can this be, tellthis has got to be a mistake right😕” Dean suddenly jumped from his chair and I can’t tell if he is excited or scared.
