The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

165 Griffin

Everyone kept telling me Ayla would say yes to me. Her family told me that she has always wanted to

uphold the family tradition of getting married to her mate. We were officially mated, and about to try for

pups. For human couples marrying is the last big step, the one commitment you could not easily get

out of. With being mated it was different for us wolves, yet my stomach was in knots as I watched her

walk in with her father.

Look as stunning as ever in the dress Jessa had helped pick out for me. Since I know my darling likes

to match clothes so much I wore a dress shirt in the exact same color blue with a gold tie. After talking

it over with our friends, and her family I came up with the plan to proceed with the ritual as we normally

would. At the end, Ayla would need to give a speech to thank the pack for welcoming her in our midst.

Where I as Ayla’s partner would give a shorter speech thanking them for letting my mate be part of our

pack.

During my speech I would not just thank my pack, I would thank Ayla too. And that would end up in me

proposing to her. We all liked the idea of Ayla already being a member of the pack when I proposed.

Not that her being engaged to me would change anything about the pack’s answers to the question if

we would allow her in the pack. Every one of them had come to love Ayla. Well all but one, Cynthia still

resented Ayla, it is why I didn’t like the idea of her being released before the party. Sadly I couldn’t tell

Ayla without spoiling the surprise meaning that I had to take a huge risk.

One voice not accepting her joining the pack would not change much. In fact Cynthia still would even if

she was still locked up. As a member of the pack connected to the mindlink her voice would be heard.

But I feared she would say or do something when I proposed to

Ayla. And I didn’t want anything to taint that memory. When she pressed me about why I didn’t want to

release Cynthia today like she had come up with. I couldn’t exactly come out and say well I don’t want

her to ruin the surprise proposal. I have been thinking about it for months but suddenly had to rush now

because I want you to be my fiancée when you’re pregnant. Marrying before you give birth or right after

depending on what you want.

Bad as it may be I had even looked at reasons to postpone her release. Set things into motion today

just as I promised Ayla I would. Just have it take so long that we couldn’t get it done on time. Only

when the Princess and the Crown Prince want to release a prisoner processing takes about an hour. Of

course I could ask them to release her tomorrow tell Ayla I tried my best. But I would never lie to my

mate so I had no other choice then to hope for the best. At least Dillion and Gerald new they would

keep an eye on her with their mates. Reassuring me a little bit.

When I went dress shopping with Jessa we had bumped into Cynthia. She was all alone and no longer

had any of her friends with her. Maybe because Ayla had won them over, or because what David had

done showed every pack member how ba tsh it crazy he was. Making it clear how much abuse she

must have gone through before I met her. Or maybe they just saw how happy Ayla made me and how

much disrespect Cynthia showed her for it. Whatever it was it pleased me to see she was still suffering

from the consequences of her behavior. Both because it was a sign of the packs’ loyalty to Ayla and

me. Secondly as a ruler I knew I could not blame her for this forever. But as the mate of the woman she

had offended so I still held a grudge for her.

Now I had spotted her in the crowd in the full ballroom. I was shocked by the amount of work everyone

had managed to pull off in such a short notice. The ballroom smelled of my favorite food. White and

silver balloons and streamers filled the ceilings. Still it did not compare to the beauty of Ayla’s smile

when she noticed me in the

crowd. Jay and her made their way towards me. It was a good thing that tonight Ayla would no longer

be a part of Jay’s pack officially because even I could tell he was getting emotional. Now with the pack

transfer Ayla seemed to think nothing of it as it made sense.

“Silver Moon Pack, we are gathered here today to ask you to let my son’s mate, my wonderful

daughter-in-law and your Princess become a part of the Silver Moon Pack. Is there any objection

against this?” After a bit of small talk the ceremony had finally started with Dad as the Alpha leading it

all. As he asked the pack members if there were any objections I scanned the crowd for Cynthia.

Relieved to see her father holding her by the arm stopping her from saying anything.

Reassured I face Ayla again just enough to hear Dad declare. “There are no objections from the Silver

Moon Pack. Who here is present to break the bond with the White Oak Pack?”

The rest of the ceremony went by quickly, Ayla gave a wonderful speech thanking the pack. Promising

to not only be the best future Luna and Queen there could be. But to never forget she was just another

pack member either. There was a fine line between being a pack’s leader and seeing yourself as more

than the other members of the pack. It was a line Ayla understood and never crossed. Yet another thing

I loved her for, and now I could finally publicly declare all of those things.

There was a mixture of shock, disbelief and hope on her face as I kneeled down and took one of her

hands in mine.

“Ayla my darling, there is so much I want to tell you know and yet there aren’t enough words to tell you

what you mean to me. For different reason we both feared we would never have this future. Now we

had to move up this ceremony because in a few hours we will be trying for our first pup. You made my

life infinitely better and you don’

t even know half of it. That is why I want the entire world to know that you are mine, as much as I am

yours. Just not wolves who will see your name carved on my collarbone as it is carved in my heart and

soul. No I want every human, and other being who sees us to know too. So my darling, my love will you

do me the absolute honor of marrying me?”

As I finished the speech that had drifted quite a bit from the one I wrote I opened the black velvet box.

Hoping that she would love it, ignoring the fact that I could see Cynthia moving from the corner of my

eye. Eagerly awaiting Ayla’s answer.
