The Prince’s Unwilling mate

“She is malnourished, the circumstances of you having sex aren’t optimal, to begin with. If by some miracle she did conceive, she would have lost the pup since you are almost starving her to death. That’s what the cramps

are, her stomach is so not used to food that it cramps up when she has a fatty meal. I suggest you lead her, cook for the two of you, Alpha.” He sneers, but David does not seem to notice.

Obsessed with the idea of me cooking for him, my first impulse is.to protest. To hate Jason for what he suggested. But when I think about it, this will only suit me. I get more freedom, and I can actually eat healthy foods. Eating regularly should help with the cramps because I know Jason is right. But it’s not only, the fact that I can eat more food, I’m sure healthier, less greasy options will be easier to stomach.

“I would love to cook for us, maybe we can even get some groceries together in a human store of course. Somewhere we will not run into other wolves” I suggest taking the opportunity Jason has unknowingly given me.

Or maybe it was knowingly because Jason seemed quick to agree with my idea, almost too quick. It could be he just hated doing so many chores for David. But it almost seemed like he was trying to help me out. Or maybe he was just actively working against David, Jason was smart enough to know the risk of me going outside even if it was in human territory. For now, I just took the break, I could try to find out what

Jason’s motives were later on.

David did not seem all too excited about the idea of going grocery shopping with me. And it was not until Jason proposed that he would take me out shopping if David didn’t want to. That, he told me we would go out to the supermarket in the morning. Hearing so, I excused myself to go to sleep in my nest, stating I was still very tired. To an extent that was true of course because with how my life was now I was always tired. That was not the reason for me wanting to go to bed early tonight. I need to be up before David. If I was going to leave another hint, It needed to be sure to be careful about it. I didn’t have anything to write on in my own blood anymore.

It still needed to be a hint that showed Griffin where I was, and that showed him I was relatively unharmed, and had left the hint on purpose. All I could come up with was to tear up one of the thin sheets that made my nest. Rip them to thin shreds and make bows out of them. It would smell of me, but the ribbons dropped in a trail should hopefully show Griffin it was a trail to the place David kept me hidden.

As I walked past Jason, he harshly grabbed my arm, and I was sure he would leave bruises on it.

“Don’t drink the orange juice” He whispered, and the way he said it even if he had to whisper unsettled me.

Especially since it was the one luxury David let me have, every lunch where I would get the meal made up of scraps there was a glass of

orange juice next to it. It was awfully sweet, but I didn’t care, I always. drank it knowing my body needed the sugar. Before, when I was still allowed to eat, David hardly did anything except for getting me that one glass of orange juice in the morning. Tomorrow, I would accidentally knock it over, to see if David would freak out about it.

Jason’s warning might look legit, especially added up with the weirdness surrounding the glass of orange juice. But I was not naive enough to

blindly trust him either. I trusted neither, and spilling my drink would be

n either. I truste the easiest way to find out what was going on. I just nodded at Jason, letting him know that I did hear him and would take it into

consideration. He could hardly expect me to just believe him instantly, and even if he did, I didn’t care.

It was not like he could complain about me not listening to him. Because of the way he acted, it was clear he was going against David’s wishes. And David was a ruthless man who murdered his entire family. To force the she–wolf he had rejected before to be his mate again. Forgoing his entire pack that needed him to do so. And he did it all without any remorse, with a smile on his face.

Luckily, last night, it didn’t take me long to fall asleep. And now I was waking up to the sound of David snoring. There wasn’t any light filtering to the sunroof yet. So it was probably the middle of the night or

in the early hours of the morning. Before the rays of the sun were strong enough to light up the forest. As I started tying the ribbons, I was thinking about the fact that this could very well be my last day in

captivity. Of course, I would not only leave a trail of ribbons from sheets that smelled of me. I would also try to make a run for it at the grocery store. There wasn’t a lot he could do when we were surrounded by

humans.

He had to take the chain off too or else the authorities would be alerted because of the kidnapping. The human government had some. connections to the Council of Elders and the royal family. Griffin and his parents had no doubt alerted them already, asking them to look out for suspicious behavior around these parts. Even David, being as stubborn and as arrogant as he was, knew this would happen.

I hated I might risk some of the innocent people in the supermarket, but it was the only option. Luckily, I had memorized Griffin’s phone number. Most stores nowadays have security, so my plan was to run out of the supermarket and into the closest store possible to ask the security guard to help me out. Then I would call Griffin, who I still sensed was close. He would come to collect me, and then I would try to lead him back to the dungeon with the help of the ribbons to find David and Jason and have them arrested. I had no doubt others are helping them.

And I still don’t have a clue where Hannah has gone. Jason spoke about Griffin, but that would mean she would need to go back to the BloodMoon pack and from what I gathered the bond between David and his former pack was broken. There should be a new Alpha in place now, and they would never let Hannah just wander about the pack she used to live in. Not before she pledged her loyalty to the new Alpha or even their family if this new Alpha was already mated. Overthinking all of this, going over scenarios to escape in a few hours as I was tying the

The sun was high in the even, lighting the forest surrounding my hideout. Causing daylight to stream into the room via the sunroof. I tied more ribbons for about an hour or so. Until I heard the telltale creak of the door to the dungeon opening. Signaling that Jason was here to wake us up to start the day. I rush to shove every single ribbon in my pocket before curling up like a baby again, pretending to be asleep.
