The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

Finally, it was tto return to the BloodMoon pack, and this t| would not go back without my Ayla in my

arms. For the past week, | had been training the guards. | made sure every single one of them knew what Ayla

looked like. That they all knew what David looked like, and that they all knew they should kill them if that meant

they could save Ayla.

1 did as Dad requested, or should | say suggested, and | kept about 30% of the army back at the castle. While

70% joinedin the Blood Moon pack. Of course, Dillion, Collin, Gerard, and Jessa joinedtoo. They would

always be there forand Ayla. | knew they would. But the fact that so many of us meant that we could not

take the jet. It's not a commercial airplane, so we cannot fit the hundred wolves that joinedinto the

BloodMoon pack. Somehow | liked that because driving there might take longer, but it was more active. It felt like

| was actually doing something to get closer to her. To get her back, | just knew | would have been restless on the

plane. Now | needed to focus On the road ahead of me, that is why I chose to drive alone.

It is funny how the sjourney can feel so much shorter or longer depending on the reason for the journey.

Knowing this t| was going there, this tto rescue her. And how much t| would need to finally find her

would have been the only upside of using the plane. It would have been there so much faster. Now | need to stop

halfway through the journey. We had made a reservation on forehand. Claiming to be a football team here for

practice, still, the hotel staff looked at us funny when we all entered the hotel. As was often the case when a

larger group of wolves was residing on human property.

Another downside of having to travel like this. But the biggest downside. was, how human we needed to act. We

couldn't shift to go for a run when most of us had a lot of pent-up energy. Eating as much as we wanted to in just

one restaurant. Because we eat more than an average human does, Dillion, Gerald, and | have been kicked out

of an all-you- can-eat restaurant before. Since they thought we were stealing food with how much we were

eating. To solve that, we go our separate ways in different groups. So that we do not draw so much attention to

ourselves. We would also all eat at two restaurants. Making this a costly trip, but | would drain the entire treasury

and my own accounts to get Ayla back, and it would all be worth it.

| knew that I could not get away with eating on my own. Dillion and the rest of them insisted on all of us going

together. Which would mean they would watch me. Keep an eye on what | was eating, and if | would make do

with the bare minimum because | was hardly able to swallow anything down. Not with the lump in my throat. Not

with the ball of nerves and worries about my mate longed in my throat.

what | was eating. Still, the fact that | wasn’t alone all night made the tgo by faster. Now | was on the road

again, on my own in my car. Doing something to get closer to Ayla. Blasting songs that remindedof her.

Talking to her, promising her that | was getting closer to her. | didn’t hear her voice anymore. By now, | didn’t

even know if it had been real or not. Still, talking to her, believing, or maybe just hoping that she could hear me

madefeel better.

Everyone agreed withnot to stop at a hotel again tonight. We all wanted to get to the BloodMoon pack as

fast as possible. Not just to be able to shift and act like ourselves without having to be overly aware of the fact

that humans might notice something “weird” about us. Everyone was just as determined to get Ayla back as |

was. We talked about the fact that we would arrive so late in the night, and it would be dark out already. And it

had been one of our guards, Nicky, who suggested we could just go on a nice run. To give our wolves some

freedom after a long road trip.

“We can’t help being wolves, and being alert and maybe finding sclues when we do now can we Prince

Griffin” She had smirked.

| had just hugged her and everyone knew enough at that moment. Now | was antsy to finally arrive and go on

that run we talked about. She had a point, going out as wolves might be a smarter idea than going in our human

forms. Our instincts and senses are much better developed than those of a regular human, even in our human

forms. But it still was nothing compared to our instincts and especially senses when we were in our wolf forms.

Combined with the fact that we will be closer to the ground to notice clues like scents and footprints. | felt bad |

After being in the car for another nine hours, with a thirty-minute break to get sfood. We finally arrived at

the Blood Moon pack at dusk. Alpha Jay and Luna Tessie were already waiting for us at the entrance. They both

looked awful, which made sense. Alongside their daughter being missing, they had taken over a pack that was

ruined to the ground. And while they were rebuilding it, they learned their little girl was raped. Raped by the wolf

the once hoped she would be mated to.

The second Tessie saw me, she burst out in tears. Now was the tforto be strong. Not because | was, but

because it was what Ayla would want forto do. | walked over to Tessie and wrapped her in a tight hug.

“Don’t worry, we will get her back, and we will make him pay for what he has done” | told her.

“I know, and | am so happy she found a mate so understanding. Thank you for not blaming my little girl. | don’t

think she would survive losing you” Tessie answered me.

“Well, that won't happen because | would not survive losing her either. But listen, none of us could shift

yesterday. Do you mind if we go for a short run before we settle in?” | asked both her and Alpha Jay.

The last gavea knowing smile, but they agreed. Even as befriended packs, as family. Werewolves are

sticklers for traditions and rules, showing our respect for one another. Withasking the Alpha and Luna for

permission to do something good for my.pack. The guards | brought with their written permission. | made sure

not to upset any of the other pack members. Which in the end would make my life so much casier. The loyalty in

this pack still was fragile, and we needed the pack to be strong enough to take on their former Alpha. Because

more and. more it seemed like that would be what we were going to have to deal with. Hopefully sooner rather

than later.

“Con guys, we can go on a run for about an hour before we have to settle in”

| shouted at my army, who stood at attention, paying their respect to this new Alpha and Luna. I felt a swirl of

pride in my chest as | looked at them, | truly did not understand how the Birches had run this pack to: the ground

because they only wanted higher-ranking members. But | had no tto think about that, | needed to go into

the woods to find my girl, and so I did...
