My trick helped, lying in a bed that smelled of Ayla. Thinking about reuniting with her the next morning, finally made me get a good night’s rest. But when I woke up this morning, the reality hit me like a ton of bricks. This could go two ways, we would have to fight and proceed with a hostile takeover of the BloodMoon Pack and find Ayla there. Or we did but David would have been smart enough to hide her somewhere else entirely.
Going in fighting could hurt our chances of finding Ayla.. Something I wasn’t willing to risk. But the chances of David allowing us to just walk in and talk about things were non–existent. I sigh heavily, this day could be the day I have been looking forward to ever since reading that letter. Or it could be the worst day of my entire life.
A small voice in the back of my mind reminded me of the third option. The option where Ayla would get caught in the crossfire and die. My stomach churned at the thought and I need to run to the toilet. I barely made it in time, and as my body was heaving. I hated myself for not being able to be in control of my thoughts and emotions. I was an Alpha wolf, and not any I was the Crown Prince.
My mate needed me to be strong and brave like she no doubt was. Yet here I am listening to the sound of last night’s dinner splattering the toilet bowl. Gagging even more at the acid smell surrounding me now.
“Griffin, are you okay son?” A worried Quinn asked me.

He knew I was not alright, honestly, I don’t think either of us is. But there is not a lot you can say when you find your grandson–in–law puking in your missing granddaughter’s bathroom. Quinn was a comforting figure and an Alpha who had issues with his mate before they completed the matebond. He had to fight a war with hunters and rogues just to keep his mate safe. Maybe he could give me some words of wisdom. Something to make me feel ready to take on this new mission.
“Would it be rude to tell you I am scared shitless” I shrugged, still- kneeling in front of the toilet bowl. Scared of what would happen if I
were to move.
“No, it would show me you are an amazing mate and future King.” He comforted me, patting my back and ignoring the stance that was filling up the small bathroom.
“How is not having my things in order, how is crumbling under the burden of missing my mate a sign that I am a good King or mate for that matter” I asked him finally able to stand up again.
“Do you know why the MoonGoddess created mates?” Quinn seems to
ignore my question but there must be something be
wants to tell me.
In reply, I just shake my head and it is all he needs to continue.

“Because no matter how much she tried to perfect us she never could. She could not make us flawless. As a solution to that she gave us mates. A mate to counter your flaws and strengthen your powers. All we need to do to be worthy of our mate is believe in the MoonGoddess and love them, unconditionally” Quinn’s words were somewhat shooting.
But it still seemed more like he was telling me why I was so flawed not as opposed to what made me so strong.

The rest of Ayla’s family including Krystel are coming along, as are Dillion, Colin, Gerald, and Jessa. I have decided to ask the warriors who came along with me to stay behind. Which they were more than willing to do. This way the White Oak pack is stronger in numbers even if they already have an impressive army. It also shows signs of the alliance between them and the royal family.
As I board the plane I see Mom and Dad again. And I can’t help but notice how tired they look. Like their bodies finally realized that they were aging. I hate the fact that David is hurting so many wolves. When all he had to do three years ago was realize what a gift he had been blessed with. He chose to reject the gift, to reject Ayla. Only for him to regret his decision when she found happiness with someone else. When we found happiness with each other. I swore to myself again that I would punish him for this.
But when we finally arrived at the BloodMoon pack I had no idea how to. Because He was gone, the pack was left without an Alpha. They were obviously still under his control. But he was nowhere to be found, so Ayla wasn’t either. Even if he needed to be close to have such control over them. And from the look of disarray, it had been a while since he had been an active Alpha.
“Fuck what are we going to do now?” Father asked me, cursing for the first time in forever.
