The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya the Author novel Chapter 4

“I know Dan, and I want her to find her soulmate, so I am happy that she did”

Before Daniel can tell me more we hear the front door opening, as Mom calls out for us. And I can smell my parents, Kate and another wolf. Meaning her mate joined her. Now is my chance to show my family I am genuinely happy for my sister meeting her mate. Show them that the fact I got rejected does not stop me from being happy for my little sister.

I rush down the stairs excitedly but I almost skid to a halt when I see who Kate’s mate is. It’s Tim Hannah’s cousin. I know because he used to visit the pack often. It has been a few years since he came over though.

“Hi, Tim so I take it your Kate’s mate?” I ask him.

He is a few years older I think his 23 or 24. And I wonder if he knew Kate was his mate before he stopped visiting. Dad suggests we all sit down, and while I am still happy for Kate she found her mate. I get why my family was a bit hesitant to tell me about it. Even with them not knowing the full extent of what Hannah has been doing to me. Everyone in this pack knows she is always giving me c*ap. Or that she is wanting to take my rightful place as the Luna of the Bloodmoon pack.

Being the Sweetheart she is Kate helps Mom make everyone tea and coffee and puts out some baked treats she made. All while Tim is looking at her with that smitten smile I hoped to one day get from my mate. There is a small painful stab in my chest knowing that I will never get that. But the feeling of happiness for my sweet sister drowns

it out quickly.

“Please Ayla, let me explain because Kate told me what my cousin does to you” Tim starts.

So she told him all about my rejection, and Hannah’s response to that. Mates share everything I know they do. Still, I don’t know how to feel about the fact Kate never asked me if I was okay with her telling him everything about me. Determined to be happy for her and giving this guy a chance I just nod as I keep listening to him.

“You must have noticed my parents and I stopped coming over right? My aunt wasn’t like she is now but my Uncle and cousins they changed her. My didn’t use to care about ranks at all but being the Beta’s wife messed with her I suppose.”

From what I remember he was right his brother, Hannah’s maternal uncle was a kind soft-spoken guy. So was Mila Hannah’s mother when we were children. I remember her playing with us kids in the playground, wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Since a few years, she was dressing ready to go to the office all day. When she had no job and was a homemaker, she helped our Luna out with planning every once in a while.

“It hurt my father deeply but he went no contact with his sister, after getting in an argument with her mate. Hannah’s father. My brother and I were free to still visit them but we never felt the need to. We didn’t agree with what they were doing. That’s the reason I stopped for lunch at the mall and not with my family” He uses quotation marks as he says the word family.

I

suppose having lunch at your aunt and uncle’s would make a lot more sense if you were still on speaking terms. Now it just made sense he stopped at the mall since he knew of good places to get lunch in the small town next to ours. I remember them all going to the mall when

they were visiting here.

Even if he still would have been in contact with his family I would not. have judged him for it. As long as he isn’t like Hannah or her parents for that matter and makes my sister happy that would be enough for me. He doesn’t let me finish telling him so.

“No please Ayla, let me finish because your sister has not accepted me as her mate yet. She was about to reject me thinking I knew what Hannah was doing to you. She told me that without your blessing she isn’t accepting me. As much as the idea hurts me I get it though. And I love the fact that my mate is loyal to her family.” He tells me and now I finally understand everything.

It was never about Kate being scared I wouldn’t be happy for her. It was not about my parents being scared I still was too fragile to handle knowing my sister found her mate.
