The Prince’s Unwilling mate

062 Ayla

I hate to see Griffin so sad, I have noticed the biting and the sucking too. Finding a mate when you’re twenty is relatively old. With his royal blood, it must feel worse, I honestly get that, and as his Queen– to–be it is my job to help him.

“Griff, we cannot go one like this, I am your queen–to–be, my job is to help you. As far as the pack is concerned I need to show them I am the right Luna for them. I cannot expect them to accept them as their Luna when they do not know me. Can you give me two more weeks?” I ask him, my hand resting on his cheek.

Denying the matebond for so long is unnatural and the fact that we behave like mates should three out of the four days a week is not helping our situation. Hearing what Griffin struggles with, hearing what my fear does not only to him but to his pack makes me so sure of what I need to do now. I smile at Griffin who is blinking at me like he cannot believe!

his ears.

“Two weeks for what?” He almost whispers.

“Two weeks to finish my education, two weeks for me to take the final steps and say goodbye to the White Oak pack” I cannot tell him yet but in two weeks I will be introduced as his mate.

I didn’t know this when I spoke to Queen Isabella on the phone. This was an easy decision I made at the moment because I knew it was the only choice I had. During my speech, as I get to know my new pack, I will tell them I will move to the castle the next weekend. And I will need the next two weeks to prepare for the event. I will use the week after to settle my last things in the White Oak pack. Then when I arrive at the castle to start living there Griffin and I can complete the mating ceremony.

“Aren’t you scared of me? Don’t you mind the pressure of being with me, Darling?” Griffin asks again.

His entire body relaxes when I promise him it is not too much.

Evidently, the Moon.

Hardly sleeping and then having another round of wild sex might have been a mistake though. I am still hugging Griffin to comfort him when Mom comes knocking at the door. Letting us know if we have thirty minutes left before we need to be present at the pre–mating ceremony brunch. My body is sore, last night’s mascara left streaks on my face and my hair is matted. Not to mention the huge bite mark on my shoulder why I am wearing an off–the–shoulder dress.

Griffin’s good nature has returned as he sees me scramble to shower he bursts out in a fit of laughter. I cannot even be mad about it. It must look funny and I would take his laugh over his tears every day.

With just two minutes to spare, we make it out of our room to head down to the brunch table. Apart from the bite mark on my shoulder, you wouldn’t think I was surviving on four hours of sleep and an emotional rollercoaster. I had sent Griffin pictures of the dress I was wearing a beautiful coral color of the shoulder knee length dress. Knowing how much I like to match he was wearing a navy suit with a coral tie. He had gotten me a navy shawl with coral accents, he told me he got it just so we could match even better. Now it ended up being the perfect cover for the bitemark on my shoulder. Not that my family wouldn’t think the worst of Grif if they saw it. It would open the door for all kinds of teasing and I did not want that.

Because today should be all about Kate and Tim not about when Griffin and I would complete the mating process. And that would eventually come up in the conversation. And because as of now I was the only one who knew the exact date Griffin and I would complete the mating process. Not to mention the fact that he felt a bit bad about the bite mark, or more so about the fact he had lost control to this extent. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

After brunch, we all headed to a room akin to a ballroom in the new packhouse. Where the new couple pricked their fingers so they could add a drop of their blood to the wine in the silver challis with intricate carvings in it. They said their vows before both drinking wine from the challis. It was a beautiful ceremony, I was ecstatic for Kate both because the MoonGoddess blessed her with such a wonderful and kind mate as Tim. But because of how beautiful the ceremony was too. I glanced off at Griffin realizing that a few weeks from now it would be us standing

on a platform, vowing our love to one other. Drinking the wine blessed with our blood to further strengthen our love. Yet another thing I had accepted I would never have again. Until I met Griffin who ended up giving me all my childhood dreams and so much more.

After the beautiful ceremony, we all went to the reception and the party. The Cresent Moon pack is a wonderful welcoming pack. Kate got lucky and I feel she knows she is. The party was a blast too. Everyone was eating, drinking, singing, and dancing around. Griffin and I were one of the first to leave the party. Ignoring the hoots and hollers and the whistles in the air suggesting that we are sneaking off to make love. When the reality is that we are both exhausted. I drop the dress to the floor, take off my lingerie, and am about to crawl into the bed with my hair pinned up. If it was not for Griffin’s patience in taking out the twelve bobby pins I needed to keep this updo in place I would have just fallen asleep with it in.

Maybe it is a good thing that we are both so tired that all we manage to do is snuggle up to each other. The moments where Griffin seems to lose his cool, where he would almost succumb to his need to mark me were when making love. Tomorrow morning he would take us home with the jet and then go home himself. All I needed to do was make sure we would not have a lot of sex during our weekend together. I would be fairly busy with planning the event to meet me. And I agreed with Griffin that we needed to make a point of being out and about on background more on the weekends. This way the pack members would already have the chance to get to know me personally and find out who I

I even came up with an idea of what kind of event to host for the pack to get to know me. But it is a very low–key event, so I need to ask Isabella’s opinion. I really hope she loves it, that way the pack can get to know the real me. I also know for a fact that Griffin would prefer this kind of thing over a grand royal ball. In my excitement yesterday I never asked Isabella what kind of event would be appropriate to be introduced as the Princess. Luckily I have another lesson scheduled with Isabella. Tomorrow would also be the day I had to tell my manager at the library that I would stop working so soon after starting. I will tell my family I am about to move into the castle. I hope Kate doesn’t feel like I am taking away from their special weekend, I just don’t want to tell them
