The Prince’s Unwilling mate

180 Ayla

“Don’t be scared Princess Ayla. I am not here to harm you, I am not on Hannah’s side. I was friends with her younger sister.” She cast her eyes down to the floor before continuing “Well, more than friends but her parents wouldn’t let us. I promise you I helped Prince Griffin to find you. And I come here to ask for a favor in return.” She seemed very genuine.

The way she said she was more than friends with Suzanne made me think she might have loved her. Alpha Philip was traditional and in his mind mateships always consisted between a wolf and a she– wolf. There was no way he would let his very own daughter be with another She- wolf. Griffin had visited the BloodMoon pack with Dillion and Collin. Neither are shy about how much they love each other. And they would not hide not being straight no matter how judgemental others were about them. Meaning that if Lizzy was indeed non–straight she has seen that the future King and the future Silver Moon Alpha was very accepting of queer relationships.

Trusting my gut, like I should as the Luna to be, I made an impulsive decision on what to do.

“I am about to head to Prince Griffin now, you can come along so we can discuss your favor and when we can properly discuss it if needed. Because as you know I have a very busy day” I told her before walking

her to our chambers.

“Hey, darling I missed you” Griffin pulls me into a big bear hug

burying his nose in my neck.

He didn’t seem to notice I had Lizzy with me or he didn’t care that much. Just like he didn’t care, my parents were in the living room with an excellent view of what we were doing. They seemed elated with it, they always were when their children were happy with their mates.

“Oh, Hey Lizzy, didn’t see you there. When did you arrive at the pack?” Griffin’s kind response confirmed that I was right in trusting

her.

“My parents and siblings are waiting in the nearest human hotel. I know you said we needed to find local packs to move into. Or packs that we had a family connection too. But my mom’s former Alpha has the same views towards queer people as Alpha Philip had. And…” Lizzy hadn’t walked into the living room yet, her lip trembling as she started to explain what brought her here.

“Bossman, I made the reservaa… Oh.., shit…” Dillion who walked up towards us talking happily about making a reservation. One look at Lizzy and he started stuttering.

Realizing he had interrupted us, with something important. Seeing Lizzy on the verge of tears made him realize he had messed up. He didn’t know that him being here would probably prove valuable. Both

Griffin and I had realized just what Lizzy was about to say. She wasn’t straight and she wanted to ask if she could be a part of the Silver Moon pack with her entire family. Because it was the only pack she could be sure of accepted who she was. And since her family had been my pack members before there was a bit of connection however small it was.

“You don’t need to come out to us now or anytime. Today I have something planned with my mate and family in law. Tomorrow the trials starts so we need to spend some time on that. After it is done we can discuss you and your family becoming a part of the Silver Moon pack. Until then you can move into rooms in the guest house. You will be our personal guests.” Griffin states without ever consulting me.

He looks at me and it’s not because he feels bad for jumping the gun. It is not to see if I agree with him. It is because he knew I would agree with him before he even said it. It was a look to confirm how in sync. we are, a look to agree to helping this girl.

“And my mate and I will love to have you all over for dinner tonight. Sometimes it is good to be amongst our own people isn’t it?” Lizzy seems to immediately understand what Dillion is talking about and

shoots him a grateful smile. I hope Dillion and Colin see us as their people too. If not I do hope that they know we love them. Not despite who they are, what they are but because of it. I would ask them later because Dillion seems ready to go and so is Lizzy. As for me, Griffin told her that he had plans with me tonight. And now I was curios to know what those plans are. Normally I would love for some alone time with him.

But now days after the heat and spending so much time with him. Combined with missing my parents since not being a part of their pack for the first time in forever. I really hoped that the plans Griffin made included my parents. As he was about tot burst in he was talking about a reservation. Making me pretty sure Griffin would take me and my parents out to diner. He knows me like he knows the back of his hand. He would never suggest to go out to diner without my parents when I only have them around me for a couple of days.

“So you must be wondering what we are doing right?” Griffin chuckles as he leads me into the living room where my parents are waiting on

Yes, I am, I wanted to ask if we could do something the four of us. It seems as though you have planned something so of course I am excited to know what it is.” I answer Griffin not bothering to hide how giddy I

ow excited I am about the fact that Griffin planned something for us. He smiles and leads me back to the couch. He smiles knowingly as I

settle down between my mother and him.

“We cannot miss out on the lunch, not with every Council member attending. After we can get changed I made reservation for a nice restaurant the four of us. First though I planned a boat ride for all of us. Don’t worry I hired a boat with staff. So we will all be safe“. Griffin laughs and I love how despite

everything we always find a reason to laugh about. That we are still able to enjoy the little things in life. That we make sure we spend time to enjoy ourselves.

Time spend together, the two of us and with our loved ones. That amidst of all life was throwing at us, we still managed to be good leaders. To be there for the people who needed us. And as nerveus I was for this first formal lunch as the Crown Princess. Knowing the future would always be as beautiful if not more. As is was today in the middle of all this turmoil made me feel secure enough to face this lunch heads on. The only worry I have is Cynthia misbehaving herself again, she still has not accepted me as her Princess. She still hadn’t accepted Griffin’s refusal to her, or her love for me. With the heat and now the council present we hadn’t have the time to talk to her and point out the consequences of her actions.
