The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya the Author novel Chapter 224

224 Ayla 

Hannah saved my life, she sacrificed herself and her pup to save me and mine, and I killed David. I don’t know how I feel about that. For most of my life, David was one of my best friends. One of the only people I would feel the safest with. The man I dreamed would be my mate. Until he was and he rejected me broke my heart. Only to want me back when I finally moved on and kidnapped and tortured me, to make me crawl back to him in such a vile sick way that I will never stop hating him. Still shouldn’t I be a little more upset that I just killed the man in cold blood? 

It was just when he was threatening everything good I had going on, when he was threatening the people I loved, including my little pups. was so sick and tired of being scared of this man. Of needing to be careful, of needing to be scared for when he would come back again. The silver hairpin Hannah told me to get out of her hair to defend myself had become heavy in my hands. It made me realize that the only way we would ever be free of this man was to kill him and so I did. Still, I don’t feel any remorse for doing so. My only fear is that not being mad or sad about killing him means that I am a bad person. Because I don’t want my pups to be raised by a bad person. 

“Are you okay, Darling, tell me what I can do for you?” I forgot where I was until Griffin stepped in the shower with me. 

“I am a bad person, Griff, I am not even upset about killing David, Hannah died to protect me, to protect us. She asked me to forgive her for all she had done to me. And I said yes, and I want to but I don’t think I can. There is still so much resentment.” I couldn’t stop crying, I couldn’t

find the strength to wash myself. And I don’t know what I would have done if it wasn’t for Griffin. He comforted me, washed me, and helped me get into comfortable clothes. He knew all the right words. Telling me that I did not have to process all the emotions today. Suddenly the realization that this meant we needed to postpone our wedding hit me like another tidal wave. 

All I ever wanted was to be happy, and I did not understand why the whole world seemed dead set on stopping me from finding my happiness. But now I had to go talk to Rodrick and Isabella to tell them that Hannah had sacrificed her life to save me. Because living as a rogue amongst humans reminded her how she let one man who did not love her back control her life. That she would never be a good mother when she still found it hard to not get caught up in his crazy ideas. His plan was just to take over the title from Griffin. Then still using me as a hostage he would force Isabella and Rodrick to abdicate giving the rule of the Silver Moon Pack and the country to him. He had planned to wait. until after we were crowned King and Queen but for some unknown reason the new laws almost getting implemented made him rush hist 

plans.

“Thank 

you for being open with us and so quickly too Princess Ayla” One of the Elders from the Council spoke to me. When shit went down they just arrived at the Silver Moon pack in time for our wedding celebrations tomorrow. Due to the circumstances, their verdict was quick, what I did was self–defence, and defend the pack. They agreed that this is what being a ruler means, to make the hard decisions to be sure the pack is safe. Mike was immediately approved as a human mate. The council praised his bravery and loyalty to the pack he wanted to be a part of. Cynthia was badly injured, Sam begged the Council not to

execute her, so they sentenced her to be committed to a mental health facility for werewolves. Where she would have to live out the rest of her life. A place she would never be able to escape from and that was it. The hardest period of my life. All wrapped up in a need little package of sentences and praises. A half page full of scribbles, and signatures that declared it over and dealt with. But it would be my and my pack that would have to start facing the consequences and rebuilding what we 

lost.

And rebuilding we did, but I could honestly say that as a couple, a family and as a pack we grew stronger from this experience. It had only been a month and one day. We were not done yet, every day we needed to heal. Not just me and Griffin, but everyone around us. What happened had hit the pack and the country at its core. It was part of why we only postponed our wedding by a month. People needed something to look forward to. People needed something to celebrate, something that would close the chapter on the last few months. A new beginning of 

sorts. 

Of course, I could not wait to be Misses Taylor either. Last week I had taken the dress back to the bridal store. Where I readjusted it so it fit my even bigger frame. This time I walked into the coffee shop, finding out Griffin had them make a surprise for me. When I got home I walked straight to our bedroom putting the dress away. Griffin and I had promised each other to never leave each other a letter we did not sign. Other than that life went back to normal. I would even dare to say that we grew even stronger as a couple now that we didn’t constantly have to worry about what was threatening us.
