The Prince’s Unwilling mate

Chapter 60

Ayla 60 I shuddered in his arms, and he was right there behind me. But as his org asm closed in I felt his teeth scrape the skin of my collarbone. Where he would eventually mark me, a pit of fear formed in my stomach. But he would never do that right, he would never mark me without my consent. I tried to focus on what was happening, on asking him what he was doing. But the pleasure from his teeth scratching my collarbone made me delirious with need. I knew he found his release too, but he just kept pounding into me. It overloaded my senses, I clung to his b*dy desperate, frantically trying to match his pace. Another org asm crept in and I was lost in the haze of lust and love for this man. Before I realized I screamed out to him. Mark me, Griff, make me yours” He dropped his head burying his face in the crook of my neck. Sucking and licking on the now sensitive spot on my collarbone but he did not mark me. Even throughout another earth-shattering org asm, I felt disappointment and fear bubbling up. He carried me to the bed and laid me down. So tenderly, like I was a precious treasure he was worried to break if he was too rough with it, before sl*pping into the bed next to me. During our love making he rushed out of his jeans but he kept his top on. Now he had taken it off to go to sleep, and I noticed the mark of his deceased mate was completely gone. It was a sign of the bond between us deepening. Still, the disappointment of Griffin refusing to mark me was overrulling everything. Part of me felt relieved he didn’t, it was a heat-of- the-moment decision since I felt ready before the big fight. Completing the mating process was more than just marking each other. It would make me a part of the royal family. It would mean I would have to travel back and live in the castle on Sunday. Being apart from 0.00% 09.331 each other is hard enough as it is, but after completing the mating process it would be torturous. Things I was not ready for at all, Griflin used to be ready for it. For a while, it seemed like that was everything he wanted, and I needed to know what changed. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Why did you not want to mark me, Grillin?” I asked staring up at the ceiling not daring to look at him. “Darling, I wanted to, I almost lost control I drew blood and it made you delirious with need” He spoke softly tilting my face so I was looking at him again. “I fear you are not ready yet?” He continued. And he was right I was not ready yet, not all but what if I had been ready? Then he would have refused me for no reason at all. “And if it’s not like that and you are ready, give me 5 minutes and I will be ready for round two” He winked. My checks burned a bright red, not only did he read my mind about. what was holding me back. Now I had to verbally confirm I was not ready yet. That he did everything right, and I was still upset about it. I despised how insecure my past had made me. “You’re right, I don’t think I am ready yet. I will be ready for the second round in 5 minutes though.” I smirked hoping to get rid of the awkwardness. Griff smiled and started k*ssing me, and it didn’t even take us 5 minutes before we were ready to make love again. This time without the urgency of the first time, it was slow and sensual and I loved every minute of it. When I was drifting off in his arm a while later I finally felt the reassurance that everything would work out between the two of us. Our start might have been rocky, it was not us that made it rocky. Things from the past kept coming up but we proved that we can deal 25.00% 09.33 with that. “I love you, Griff.” I whispered hoping he was asleep and not hearing this confession that filled me with hope and nerves at the same time. He just pulled me closer not saying anything. *** I woke up to the sound of my alarm, and it made me regret staying up so late. My bed was empty but I could still the warmth from where Griff had been sleeping. He must be up already, so I sat up rubbing the sleep from my eyes. We needed to be at the airport in an hour. Luckily I had already

packed I just needed to shower and have breakfast but first of all, I needed a coffee to get me going. I turned my face towards the sound of my door opening, Griff walked in dressed in just low-hanging pajama pants as he carried in two mugs. The smell of coffee filled my bedroom and the smile spreading over my face matched his. “I figured you needed this” Griff said before giving me my mug and sl*pping back into bed with me. I could see a future like this, starting the busy day ahead by enjoying a coffee in bed together. We didn’t even speak much, all I did was rest. my head on his shoulder in between sips of my coffee but it was enough. Griffin however seemed to be a little nervous. “What is on your mind. Griff, why are you nervous” I eventually asked him hoping I could help settle his nerves. “What if Katie doesn’t like me? The rest of your family does and it’s important for me that they do. That your family not only accepts me, I want them to like me. I want them to be happy that I am your mate. I want them to be happy I ended up being your mate and not…” He stopped talking. 48 64 ||| 19:33 It must be weird telling your mate you want her family to be rejected before. That was not what I got out of this though. What I got out of it was that he felt the same as I felt about his family. It wanted to be a part of his just as much as he wanted to be a part of mine. And it made me love him even more. “To be fair, Kate never liked David that much, that’s why they weren’t friends. She saw how heartbroken I was when he rejected me. She hated him from then on out. If she sees how happy you make me she will love you.” I told him making him smile Talking about Kate, made me realize how much I missed her. It’s normal for siblings to scatter over the country and move into different packs. Kate never fitted in with this pack, every time we spo ke I could hear it in her voice. How much happier she was now, she even had a chance to become the lead warrior it would mean she was higher ranked than her mate. Tim being the absolute

Sweetheart she is was nothing but proud of her. My little sister, even in her happiness had told me over and over again. she wanted the same for me. Griffin was nervous about meeting a she- wolf who had been rooting so hard for us that it was almost comical. All she wanted for me was to find a mate who loved me as much as she was loved. Who supported me as much as she was supported. Even with the bumps in the road, I found that in Griffin, and for that reason. alone she would love him. “Can I get her anything as a gift?” I had been so lost in thought that I had missed Griffin getting out of bed and rummaging through his bag to find clothes to wear. “She is nothing like me, she loves training and weaponry and she is in the running to be the lead warrior. But I think it is a little bit short notice to get her anything” I thought out loud. “Don’t worry about it, Darling. I have just the thing” Griffin told me 70.671 before he started tapping away at his phone. I had no idea what he was about to do. I trusted him though and there was something else I needed to discuss with Griffin. Something I hoped would make him happy. Maybe even settle his nerves about meeting Kate a little bit.
