The Prince’s Unwilling mate

“I know you she–wolves like to nest, and I decided it would be better for our mate–bond if I stay here with you. I brought you a bunch of nesting. shit so here you go” David got me out of my stupor by throwing a bag filled with ratty blankets towards me.

in

The dull thud of the bag landing on the bed seemed to snap something in me. Like I suddenly was done with all of it. There is no use for me being sad, after all, Griffin showed me he was coming for me. I know he will and not just him, the BloodMoon pack treated me like shit. Making me believe I was unloveable just for being smaller than the average wolf. But with moving packs, and getting to know yet another pack, I have learned I am loveable, I might not be it for everyone. But I am for the people who care about me. The people I need to love me.

Griffin won’t be alone in his mission to rescue me. All these wolyes risking so much to get me back. The least I can do is stop wallowing in self–pity. Stop crying myself to sleep every night and to stay strong. David can slap, hurt, and abuse me all he wants. He won’t kill me.

Not because I trust him to not be a killer. I know he is, hell this man. killed his parents as a way to win me over. The reason I know he is not going to kill me is because he thinks he is in love with me. In his mind, all of this is leading up to me becoming his mate again. It is clear he is prepared to put up a fight, thinking he can just wear me down. So I will give him a fight, but not one he thinks he is getting.

“Wow, some ratty blankets that really would suit a nest for a mate like you. Lucky me you will never be my mate again” I scoff, walking up to him and grabbing the bag with the food from his hand.

Something I could only manage because he was too stunned with my reply. It was another half–cold breakfast left over from the pack breakfast. It is nothing special, but it would sustain me. Soon enough I would be having breakfast with Griffin in our kitchen again. Or maybe just in the pack kitchen I am sure I could get Milo to make me his waffles and chicken again soon.

Thinking about the meals I would soon be having I scarf down this breakfast. I am hungry and there is no need to pretend to be more elegant or to look good. I cannot wait for David to be put off by me again. I rather spend my time in solitude here than being with him all the damn time. Besides he should spend time at the pack to lead his pack members. Even with how most of them treated me I still wanted the pack to do well. The pack I once wanted to become the Luna of so I could lead them to a bigger and brighter future.

Of course, David is hot on my tail, steaming as he pulls his plate towards him and starts eating. Glaring at me, but I have never been so

unbothered as I am now.

“You know I could kill you right, I had my parents killed” He growls. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

too much of a coward. Like you just said you had someone else do it” I scoff, the benefit of growing up with this poor excuse of a man is that I know how to push his buttons. All of them.

He growls again not even speaking this time. There is a tick in his jaw, which he used to have when his dad would scold him. I took some pleasure in knowing I was as annoying to him as the man he killed to become his own man. Not that he would ever be a man. He is a foolish little boy who obviously didn’t get the love he needed. Something I would sometimes notice when we were growing up. I used to pity him. and think he liked coming over to my place because my parents had so much love to give. It was why in my mind I figured we could turn things. around and change the pack for the better. But my sympathy for him had long vanished he was an adult now. He chose the path he was on, all by himself.

“If you are so sure, we won’t ever be mates again then why should I not kill you” He asked me, and as convinced as I was that he would not actually kill me.

I did need to tread carefully and make sure I didn’t upset him so much that he would attack me in a fit of anger. I remembered the clip Griffin posted on the royal website. Making sure to leave me so many hints, acting like he believed the letter all to keep me safe. I needed to act like that too, I needed to give David just enough to keep him believing he was making some progress. Just placate him enough to not hurt me too badly, and for him to want to keep me alive. Swallowing down the bile because of what I was about to do I looked up at him.

“I am sorry David, I get you mean well but I am hungry, cold, and bored. I have been rejected for the second time I am just a bit emotional,” I told him keeping my eyes focused on the plate like I was ashamed of myself. When in reality I did not want him to notice the burning hatred in them.

“That figures, you she–wolves are emotional. But I will be staying here. now, so the shower will have warm water. You have company and I will get us regular meals” He half apologizes.

That son of a bitch could have granted me warm showers, but only when he is here. Only when he needs to use the shower he turns on the heat. I am livid and as much as I want to get into another argument with him. I know that won’t help my case at all. I just swallow down the treats and curses I want to scream at him and opt for a half–truth instead,

“There was a time I wanted you to reconsider me as your mate. But since rejecting me you have done so much to hurt me. I am not ready to just take you back you know.”

“I know I made some mistakes too, and with you being so emotional it makes sense that you couldn’t cope. But I will make you see what you lost and have you crawling back to me. If Princeboy could, I have no doubt I can too since I am the one that was hand–picked for you, not him. Second chances mates are just the MoonGoddess‘ sloppy way of getting rid of loose ends” He boasts and for the third time during this breakfast, I just swallow his remarks not wanting to let on how much I still love Griffin. How much fate I have in him and how good we fit together.

Arrogant as he is David takes my silence as a confirmation that he is right. Thinking I lost the ability to say anything because he outwitted
