The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

109 Griffin

My trick helped, lying in a bed that smelled of Ayla. Thinking about reuniting with her the

next morning, finally made me get a good night’s rest. But when I woke up this morning,

the reality hit me like a ton of bricks. This could go two ways, we would have to fight and

proceed with a hostile takeover of the BloodMoon Pack and find Ayla there. Or we did but

David would have been smart enough to hide her somewhere else entirely.

Going in fighting could hurt our chances of finding Ayla. Something I wasn’t willing to risk.

But the chances of David allowing us to just walk in and talk about things were non-

existent. I sigh heavily, this day could be the day I have been looking forward to ever since

reading that letter. Or it could be the worst day of my entire life.

A small voice in the back of my mind reminded me of the third option. The option where

Ayla would get caught in the crossfire and die. My stomach churned at the thought and I

need to run to the toilet. I barely made it in time, and as my body was heaving. I hated

myself for not being able to be in control of my thoughts and emotions. I was an Alpha

wolf, and not any I was the Crown Prince.

My mate needed me to be strong and brave like she no doubt was. Yet here I am listening

to the sound of last night’s dinner splattering the toilet bowl. Gagging even more at the

acid smell surrounding me now.

“Griffin, are you okay son?” A worried Quinn asked me.

He knew I was not alright, honestly, I don’t think either of us is. But there is not a lot you

can say when you find your grandson-in-law puking in your missing granddaughter’s

bathroom. Quinn was a comforting figure and an Alpha who had issues with his mate

before

they completed the matebond. He had to fight a war with hunters and rogues just to keep

his mate safe. Maybe he could give me some words of wisdom. Something to make me

feel ready to take on this new mission.

“Would it be rude to tell you I am scared sh itles s” I shrugged, still kneeling in front of the

toilet bowl. Scared of what would happen if I

were to move.

“No, it would show me you are an amazing mate and future King.” He comforted me,

patting my back and ignoring the stance that was filling up the small bathroom.

“How is not having my things in order, how is crumbling under the burden of missing my

mate a sign that I am a good King or mate for that matter” I asked him finally able to

stand up again.

“Do you know why the Moo nGoddess created mates?” Quinn seems to ignore my

question but there must be something he wants to tell me.

In reply, I just shake my head and it is all he needs to continue.

“Because no matter how much she tried to perfect us she never could. She could not

make us flawless. As a solution to that she gave us mates. A mate to counter your flaws

and strengthen your powers. All we need to do to be worthy of our mate is believe in the

Mo onGoddess and love them, unconditionally” Quinn’s words were somewhat shooting.

But it still seemed more like he was telling me why I was so flawed not as opposed to what

made me so strong.

“I know what you’re thinking but to love your mate unconditionally, you need to think

about them with your heart, not your mind. The fact that you’re mate is not here, and we

don’t know if she is safe gets a different reaction from your brain than it does from your

heart right?”

He asked me

At first, he didn’t make any sense. But when I gave it a bit of thought he was right. My

brain was telling me I was the Crown Prince. That I am strong enough to overcome this. It

was telling me the steps I should be taking to get her back. But I couldn’t because my

heart was telling me to be scared, my heart was telling me there is no use to life if it was

not with her in it. And the voice of my heart was loud enough to drown out the voice of my

brain.

“It does, and my heart is way louder. Thanks, Quinn that helps a bit” I tell him as it did.

Maybe I have been looking at it the wrong way. Maybe this isn’t a sign of weakness. If he is

truly using his Alpha voice like we are suspecting him to, David is using his wits, not his

heart. He is using his powers over his pack not the love between them. Right now there

isn’t a lot that is more reassuring than being reminded how different I am to him.

“Go brush your teeth, shower, brush your teeth again, and then come down for breakfast,”

Quinn tells me, like a father would his son, reminding me of the fact that I am a part of this

family.

And that as a family we will not rest until we have our girl back with us. So I do as I am

told. Once I am downstairs I eat a normal breakfast. Not plucking at pastries, eating as

little as I can just to give off the appearance of eating to get some of the others off my

back. No, I eat enough to be strong, and full of energy to face whatever I will be facing

when I finally arrive at the BloodMoon pack. Knowing I am listening to my heart and not

my mind because that is how the Mo onGo ddess intended it gives me peace and hope.

Peace in knowing I am not weak, I am just flawed as we all are. Hope because she is an

honest goddess and will not punish the ones who live as she intended us to. Still listening

to my brain every now and then won’t hurt me either. Some things you just need to be

smart about.

After breakfast, we all make it to the airport, Alpha Cedric and his mates and kids are

staying behind. They cannot abandon their pack. Especially since there still is a threat of

war. David seems to be either delusional or deranged. So there is no telling what he is

going to do

next.

The rest of Ayla’s family including Krystel are coming along, as are Dillion, Colin, Gerald,

and Jessa. I have decided to ask the warriors who came along with me to stay behind.

Which they were more than willing to do. This way the White Oak pack is stronger in

numbers even if they already have an impressive army. It also shows signs of the alliance

between them and the royal family.

As I board the plane I see Mom and Dad again. And I can’t help but notice how tired they

look. Like their bodies finally realized that they were aging. I hate the fact that David is

hurting so many wolves. When all he had to do three years ago was realize what a gift he

had been blessed with. He chose to reject the gift, to reject Ayla. Only for him to regret his

decision when she found happiness with someone else. When we found happiness with

each other. I swore to myself again that I would punish him for this.

But when we finally arrived at the BloodMoon pack I had no idea how to. Because He was

gone, the pack was left without an Alpha. They were obviously still under his control. But

he was nowhere to be found, so Ayla wasn’t either. Even if he needed to be close to have

such control over them. And from the look of disarray, it had been a while since he had

been an active Alpha.

“F uck what are we going to do now?” Father asked me, cursing for the first time in

forever.
