The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya the Author novel Chapter 290

This week has been exhausting, every day I went to work in the library. And every nighted would either have lessons with Isabella, or I would 

work on the event. Luckily she agreed with a BBQ as my I would 

introduction 

party. I wanted to bring some of myself to this event so that the pack. members would get to know the real me. I have also noticed Griffin likes casual events a lot better. He is such an introvert so it made sense to me 

too. That he would feel better if he could at least be himself. 

Anwar, my manager had seen how tired I was and he graciously gave me the entire day off. Which meant I could sleep in a little. Both Kristen and Jessa were excited about going to the mall with me at the beginning not the end of the afternoon. Because as much as I loved being able to sleep in. Nothing would relax me more, nothing would be more soothing than to be spending more time with Griffin. I just hoped he likes the surprise. 

I would go to the mall with Jessa and Krystel. Then I would go back to the castle with them. Where I would have a meeting with the kitchen staff. I have been emailing Milo the head chef a lot. He seemed nice and it felt like he was warming up to me. He seemed to be very excited about hosting a big BBQ. Having an entire staff prepare the grilling meat and making is way off from the family–style dinner I envisioned. But I understood that it was not feasible for us to make the food ourselves. 

Chef Milo had promised me he would keep most of the dishes simple,

except for a more high–end meat and fish dish to please the most picky pack members. He had let me know he managed to make a full menu and grill it without Griffin noticing. Since I had to taste everything I asked Jessa and Krystel to join me. We would make some sort of lunch out of it. Of course, they loved the idea, and Chef Milo seemed to be excited to be able to let more people taste his food.

Griffin had sent me a few more texts, and I hated I was only giving him short answers if any. But I was scared to tell him anything that could give away what I was doing. Secondly, there would be moments where I could not text at all, or had to rely on speech to text as I was driving. He would notice that too, he always did. It would be a death giveaway away which is why I told him I would hardly be able to text him today because I was so busy. It wasn’t even a lie, I just let out the details of what kept me so busy. Grandma packed me a breakfast I could eat while I was on the road so I got into my car at eight–thirty minutes, only thirty minutes after I rolled out of my bed. 

The drive there was easy, this early in the day there was a lot less traffic around which helped. Knowing I was going over to finally get closer to the pack and most of all surprise Griffin made the trip fly by. Krystel and Jessa were already waiting for me in front of the mall entrance. Jessa hugged me, as she always did, I was more surprised to find Krystel waiting to hug me the minute Jessa let me go. 

“Thank you for inviting me, to come along, I was afraid I would be interrupting your time with Jessa. There is just something about you that

makes me love hanging out with you” She told me so fast that she was a little out of breath by the time she finished. 

“Don’t be silly, I didn’t want you to feel obliged but when you texted me Griff told you. You startled me, I had my phone in hand contemplating asking you to join us” I told her smiling. 

It didn’t have any kind of pull toward Krystel, but I liked her she was a smart and funny girl. So I instantly clicked with her. With that being said we went inside, where I ended up finding the perfect outfit. I would have loved to go in my jeans shorts, a crop top, and flip–flops. But I understood that would hardly be fitting for a Princess to be. Eventually, I picked a lilac summer dress with white flowers on it, white wedged sandals, and a white knitted cardigan for if the night would get too chilly. Jessa said she would keep the outfit in her home so Griff wouldn‘

But between being in the car for hours, shopping and now eating so much food I feel a little grimy and I wanted to smell and feel fresh when I surprised Griff. 

“You girls should just go home, I could use a shower, so I am just going to head to our bathroom and rinse off before I go and meet Griff,” I tell the others after thanking Chef Milo and going over some changes in the 

menu. 

“NOOOO, you can’t…” Krystel shouts causing me to freeze to the spot. 

“Why not, I feel grimy, Griffin sees it as our room and it will be in a few weeks?” I ask because Krystel’s reaction is a little suspicious. 

“Dillion let us know Griffin needed to take a quick nap so he is in his quarters” Jessa explains. 

Krystel agrees, and it still feels a little off but I know there is nothing Griff could be hiding from me. So I just go along with it and since I bought a few more outfits I have clean clothes to change into. The way to Jessa’s place is a lot longer than I remembered. And I don’t remember half of the places I am walking past now. I need to get to know the pack grounds more. Because right now I can not even make my way to my best friend. Even the way back seems different than the way there. But I don’t care anymore, I am freshly showered about to surprise my 

wonderful mate and imaging the look of surprise on his face in a few moments is all I can think off.
