The Prince’s Unwilling mate

Chapter 97

Griffin 97 All eyes are on Daniel when he walks up on the stage next to me. Everyone in the pack knows he is Krystel’s mate and they like him. After my offer to stay here in a higher-ranking warrior position, he went to the training fields. Stating he wanted to meet the wolves he would be fighting side by side with. Because according to Daniël if you out there risking your lives for each other it’s good to know who you are risking your life for. And if they are the kind of wolves you are willing to die for. After that meeting, he and Krystel took me up on my offer. And the entire army has been singing his praises ever since. Benneth our lead- warrior pipes up, not raising his hands just shouting his opinion. “I had no reason to doubt our future Queen, we have all met her, and as werewolves should have enough survival instincts to see if a person is honest or not. Still, if that is not enough for you lot. The King, the Queen, one of our newest and strongest warriors, and all of his brothers and sisters in battle believing in her should be enough. No offense Prince Griffin but with you being her mate and all, people would argue you are blinded by love” He shrugs the last bit, knowing he overstepped. Benneth is a good warrior, passionate, and loyal, his mate Jack and their pup Ella are the only thing he loves more than this pack. And our kingdom, after his speech the entire army roars in approval. So how could I have been mad at him for so valiantly defending my mate? “No offense, Benneth you know in this pack you are free to speak as you feel” I answer Benneth. The questions seem to simmer down, so I make my way to the guards’ 0.00% Griffin 97 station with my father. We need to speak to our warriors to talk about securing our borders and see how many warriors we can miss to join the quest to find her. Our first stop will be the White Oak pack. I still need to ask Alpha Cedric permission but there is no way he is going to refuse anything in aiding the return of his niece. ***

The meeting has been long and tedious but we came up with some solid plans. As much as I hate it we need to do some research first so we will travel to the White Oak pack tomorrow. There is no need to rush over there, father suggested that David might still have spies since Ayla was kidnapped from the White Oak pack. If they see us rushing over there they will let David know. Him knowing his plan is failing and that I am right on his tail will only scare him. I want the mothe rf ucker to be scared of me, he should be scared of me because when I find him I will tear him apart limb for limb with my own hands. The problem is that we don’t know what he will do when he gets scared. It could be something that results in hurting Ayla even more. And we need to do everything in our power to stop that from happening. I still believe he will keep her alive and fairly happy to make sure she will accept him as her chosen mate. I shudder at the realization of the thing she can do to her. What he can force her to do, but the one thing he cannot do. The one thing the Moon Goddess protects us from is completing the matebond without her permission. He can bite her, and mark all he wants, it will be excruciatingly painful for her but he will not mark him. As the son of an Alpha, he must know that from his studies. Thinking about that I start to wonder if this whole rejection letter was just about me leaving him alone. What if he made a similar letter for Ayla? Where I am telling her that I love her but have finally realized she is not meant to be a Queen. If she was to believe that it would break her heart, and then to find out I was indeed not coming for her Griffin 97 288 (Vouchers had I believed the letter. It would have ruined her, but I have faith just like I did not believe the letter. David wanted me to believe was hers. I know she won’t believe any letter written out of my name. Not anymore, we’ve grown stronger than that now. Now I need to go and find Daniël to ask him for help with getting more information about the Blood Moon pack. Ayla’s parents are already helping, Ayla had sent Krystel her calendar for the first two weeks in our pack. Just to be sure she is going over that to see if there were any unusual meetings. She would also try and see if with the login she could look back in the calendar to see if anything happened before yesterday evening.

Raised voices coming from the ballroom get my attention. I wonder who is still in there arguing, and what they are arguing about. Suddenly I hear Ayla’s voice, I feel like I must be hallucinating “I’m a little nervous about asking Griff to mate me. I really was stu pid, huh not trusting him. But he’s healed me and I am so happy with him. But anyway like I said I’m happy we will be living in the same pack. Can you imagine by the time you come home from your weekend off I will be a mated wolf” It can’t be, Ayla can’t be here, and the words don’t make sense. If she were here she would be face to face with Daniël. Still, I rush to the ballroom wanting to know what is going on. When I see Dan holding up his voice it suddenly makes sense. Ayla must have sent him a voice memo. The pack members and Dan turn to me. Daniël is telling me something but I cannot hear what he is saying. His sister’s voice keeps ringing through my head. Dan and Krystel were set to be back on Monday. So if she felt like she was going to be marked and fully mated before that she would have wanted to complete the mating process. I need to get out of here, I need to run. Conan needs an outlet too, I have wanted to run ever since yesterday. There is Griffin 97 283 Vouchers no need for me to stay close to the phone now. Realizing that there is no way that Ayla can call me now is heartbreaking. And I can’t handle it anymore without telling the others anything I take off running. As soon as I am at the edge of the forest undress, shove my clothes into one of the empty trunks, and then take off running. It feels like I am running around aimlessly, but when I stop to look around and see where Conan took me I recognize it right away. This was the place we took a break when we first saw each other in our wolf forms. Conan must be worried about our mate too. Normally your wolf and human spirit talk to each other. Help each other out, but now that we are both missing the one thing that is the most important to us. I have no idea how to feel better. Still, I have to, because I cannot find and save my mind if I give in to all the dark thoughts swirling in my mind. So in one last desperate attempt to numb the pain. If only just for a little bit I let it all out in the loudest deepest howl I ever

howled. It was so loud that if she had been any closer she would have heard all the love and pain in it. 83.06% Ayla 98Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
