The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

038 Ayla This was exactly why | wanted to tell Griffin about Alpha Rob in the privacy of his bedroom. Dillion didn’t mean any harm and | knew he didn’t. Even if it was a little weird he did not know how possessive Griffin would become.

Maybe because he had never seen Grif, around his mate before he was unaware. Whatever the reason was | now had to deal with an angry mate, his iris immed with a lighter color. Showing Conan was more than willing to take over and tear Alpha Rob a new one.

“Your royal highness you should listen to your mate first” While he was using Griffin's title to show submission, Dillion’s voice was clipped.

He seemed to be agitated too, but he at least got Griffin to focus on met again.

“Sorry, Darling go on,” he said through gritted teeth.

“I get it Grif, | got so upset too when he dismissed you as a mate. | know what we have is still fragile mostly because of me. Still, | wasn’t about to let him get away with insulting you. But with your father being pissed at you for causing a scene | wanted to do better” As | was talking Griffin's anger seemed to melt away, if | wouldn't know better | would say he looked happy.

Technically it would be treason even before | was royalty since Grif was. But only members of the royal family were entitled to claim an act was indeed an act of treason.. let alone warrant someone's arrest. So | took a deepbreath and continued.

“So | told him what he said was treason and | gave him a choice, he would either go hfaking a headache” “Like he says she-wolf do when they are unwilling to mate” Collin piped up, interrupting me.

He clearly enjoyed the fact | put Alpha Rob in his place too. All three men laughed, it was obvious that Alpha Rob did not have a lot of friends. here.

“Something like that yeah. His other option was forto have him arrested for treason, where | would publicly announce what he has done forto consider it treason. Meaning his mate would know he has wanted to cheat on her” | finished explaining what happened.

Dillion filled Griffin in on how Alpha Rob seemed unwilling to just walk off and how that made him step in. Tellingthere was someone who missed me, which wasn’t a lie but how he left it vague on purpose. To create the illusion that it was Griffin who was about to rejoin me. And that it was the last straw for Alpha Rob to leave the ball, his proverbial tail tucked between his legs.

I didn’t mind the nicknat all. It was sort of flattering she-wolf or not. | never wanted to be perceived as a weak girl. Especially since | had sphysical shortcomings for a she-wolf. Before | knew what was happening my feet left the floor.

Griffin liftedfrom the floor spinningaround with an awestruck look on his face. “Damn, you're perfect darling, | just wish | could have seen his face” He pecked my lips before placingback on the solid. floor again.

This whole interaction, leftfeeling giddy, sparks of the matebond shooting up through my arms and spreading through my entire body. Leavingto wonder how long | could let my hurt and my past fight the matebond. Griffin wasn’t perfect just as | wasn’t perfect either. That didn’t mean we couldn't be perfect together.

And more and more | was getting convinced that if we tried hard enough we could be perfect together.

My usual solution was to get a snack and read swhile munching on the food.

“Are you tired yet?” Griffin askedrubbing the back of his neck like he was embarrassed about what he was going to ask me.

“Well, no | usually wind down with a snack and a good book but if you want to go to sleep we can” | shrugged, expecting him to want to just tum in.

The look of relief on his face was the first indication that | was wrong about what he wanted.

“Thank the MoonGoddes | usually spend an hour or so gaming after events like this. Just to feel like myself a little bit. You can shower first I’ Il order us food and then we can have a repeat of this afternoon?” He beamed at me.

This wasn’t something he did for me, or to try and winover. It was something he wanted to do. So the fact that it was exactly what | needed. made it feel even better. Smiling | made my way over to the bathroom. Where | showered and got dressed in my usual sleepwear. A tank top and shorts, the first nights we spent together | went to bed fully dressed. Scared that if | showed too much skin he would want more than | was able to give yet.

As | stepped 50.41% [e] 12.14D 038 Ayla #288 Vouchers back into the bedroom | was hit with the smell of tacos making my stomach rumble. That first day we discussed how we both loved Mexican food. | didn’t have the heart to tell him | couldn't eat tacos while reading. The grease and sauce would stain the pages of my book. | wouldn't do that with any of my books but the thought of getting a stain on my first edition of Pride and Prejudice filledwith fear.

When he was showering | ate a taco moaning at how flavorful it was. Then | got out of bed again, washed my hands, and snuggled back into the covers. It was a little chilly now but | had noticed the man that would lay next toin a few minutes was an actual furnish.

“Couldn’t wait forto get started on the tacos? Well, | don’t blyou” Grif teasedas he cback into the bedroom.

Wearing another low-riding pajama pants, the sight of it madedrool more than the smell of tacos was. At a loss for words both because of how attractive he was and my unwillingness to tell him he chose the wrong snacks | just smiled at him and went back to reading. It wasn’t long before he noticed | wasn’t eating the tacos.

Just as | was about to tell him | just wasn’t hungry my stomach rumbled. So that excuse was out of the window, embarrassed, | confessed why | couldn't eat the tacos.

“Oh, silly | can fix that for you” And then picked up a taco and held it in front of my face.

Making sure the taco was not above my book. Laughing | took a bite this was the sweetest thing everyone has ever done for me. Like this, | 69.39% [e] 12:14 M 038 Ayla 288 Vouchers.

When we finally both were tired enough to turn down the lights and go to bed. | knew | made a huge mistake.

One that | needed to correct first thing in the morning before | would leave to go home. This was something he deserved to hear face to face. He has done too much forfor this to be over text or just noticing the change in my behavior gradually until he could draw his own conclusion. But | just wanted to enjoy tonight so | kept my mouth shut and only asked him to spoonthis night. His arms wrapped aroundand his nose buried in the crook of my neck as his silent answer and that is how we ended up falling asleep.
