The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya the Author novel Chapter 339

Finally, it was time to return to the BloodMoon pack, and this time I would not go back without my Ayla in my arms. For the past week, I had been training the guards. I made sure every single one of them knew what Ayla looked like. That they all knew what David looked like, and that they all knew they should kill them if that meant they could save Ayla. 

I did as Dad requested, or should I say suggested, and I kept about 30% of the army back at the castle. While 70% joined me in the Blood Moon pack. Of course, Dillion, Collin, Gerard, and Jessa joined me too. They would always be there for me and Ayla. I knew they would. But the fact that so many of us meant that we could not take the jet. It’s not a commercial airplane, so we cannot fit the hundred wolves that joined me into the BloodMoon pack. Somehow I liked that because driving there might take longer, but it was more active. It felt like I was actually doing something to get closer to her. To get her back, I just knew I would have been restless on the plane. Now I needed to focus On the road ahead of me, that is why I chose to drive alone.

It is funny how the same journey can feel so much shorter or longer depending on the reason for the journey. Knowing this time I was going there, this time to rescue her. And how much time I would need to finally find her the road to the BloodMoon pack seemed too long. That 

would have been the only upside of using the plane. It would have been there so much faster. Now I need to stop halfway through the journey. We had made a reservation on forehand. Claiming to be a football team here for practice, still, the hotel staff looked at us funny when we all entered the hotel. As was often the case when a larger group of wolves was residing on human property. 

Another downside of having to travel like this. But the biggest downside. was, how human we needed to act. We couldn’t shift to go for a run when most of us had a lot of pent–up energy. Eating as much as we wanted to in just one restaurant. Because we eat more than an average human does, Dillion, Gerald, and I have been kicked out of an all–you- can–eat restaurant before. Since they thought we were stealing food with how much we were eating. To solve that, we go our separate ways in different groups. So that we do not draw so much attention to ourselves. We would also all eat at two restaurants. Making this a costly trip, but I would drain the entire treasury and my own accounts to get Ayla back, and it would all be worth it. 

I knew that I could not get away with eating on my own. Dillion and the rest of them insisted on all of us going together. Which would mean they would watch me. Keep an eye on what I was eating, and if I would make do with the bare minimum because I was hardly able to swallow anything down. Not with the lump in my throat. Not with the ball of nerves and worries about my mate longed in my throat.

what I was eating. Still, the fact that I wasn’t alone all night made the time go by faster. Now I was on the road again, on my own in my car. Doing something to get closer to Ayla. Blasting songs that reminded me of her. Talking to her, promising her that I was getting closer to her. I didn’t hear her voice anymore. By now, I didn’t even know if it had been real or not. Still, talking to her, believing, or maybe just hoping that she could hear me made me feel better. 

Everyone agreed with me not to stop at a hotel again tonight. We all wanted to get to the BloodMoon pack as fast as possible. Not just to be able to shift and act like ourselves without having to be overly aware of the fact that humans might notice something “weird” about us. Everyone was just as determined to get Ayla back as I was. We talked about the fact that we would arrive so late in the night, and it would be dark out already. And it had been one of our guards, Nicky, who suggested we could just go on a nice run. To give our wolves some freedom after a long road trip. 

“We can’t help being wolves, and being alert and maybe finding some clues when we do now can we Prince Griffin” She had smirked. 

I had just hugged her and everyone knew enough at that moment. Now I was antsy to finally arrive and go on that run we talked about. She had a point, going out as wolves might be a smarter idea than going in our human forms. Our instincts and senses are much better developed than those of a regular human, even in our human forms. But it still was nothing compared to our instincts and especially senses when we were in our wolf forms. Combined with the fact that we will be closer to the ground to notice clues like scents and footprints. I felt bad I didn’t come
