The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya the Author novel Chapter 5

The next morning we went over to the packhouse. Alpha Phill*pe would always spare his first hour of the day for walk-ins. He wasn’t a bad Alpha just not a great one either. What bothered me the most was the fact that he was training David to be the next Alpha. And how that meant David would sit into most conversations.

Alpha Phill*p was more than okay with Kate going to live with the Cresent Moon pack. He loved members of the pack going to live in another pack to form alliances. My problem was that there was already an alliance between the Blood Moon and White Oak pack. Alpha Phill*p would never let pack members move to another pack if it didn’t benefit him. In most cases forming or strengthening an alliance would suffice. But I wasn’t about to move to my mate’s pack. I was about to move to family so no new relationships were built.

He was very interested in the prospect of one of the pack’s unmated she-wolves becoming a chosen mate to the royal family. For him, it would be the ideal alliance. Like his son though he deemed me unworthy of being the future queen. He didn’t even try to hide his disbelief shrugging his shoulders as he told us.

“Honestly I have no issues with Ayla going to the royal ball. But we all know the likelihood that the Prince will choose her as the Luna of all Luna’s is extremely small. Tell me how it would benefit our pack if she was not to return to us after the ball”

My parents tried to reason with him, pointing out how the pack was not treating me kindly after his son rejected me. Mom went as far as asking him how the future Luna would feel knowing that her Alpha’s fated mate was still living in the pack.

“My son has selected a wonderful chosen mate. He is making the greatest sacrifice known to wolves. Letting her go to the royal ball to make sure the Prince does not want a fine she-wolf like Hannah for himself. Rest assured though if he does not and she will return to us as our Luna she will treat Ayla exactly like she has been doing ever since the rejection” Alpha Phill*p told us like he was reassuring a toddler that there were no monsters under the bed.

Was he that unaware of what was happening right under his nose or was he that uncaring? Not screaming about everything Hannah and her flying monkeys had done to me so far was already taking all of my self- control. Willow was already itching to take over control. I knew I shouldn’t I had been enduring the bullying, the beating the abuse for two years now. All so I would not cause problems for my family. Now so close to escaping was not the time to mess it all up. Easier said than done when David smirked at me, licking his l*ps before addressing his father like a good little Alpha in training.

“Can I give my opinion Father?” He asked politely, and of course, Daddy dearest let him.

His pride over his son starting to pick up Alpha duties written all over his face.

With an evil smile, David started talking again.

“I do think the Hemmings put too much weight on my decision to reject Ayla. Every wolf with a sense of self-preservation would want a more suitable Luna. They all applaud me for the sacrifice I made in recognizing the Moon Goddess’ only fault. Many seem to think for some reason the mate bonds between me and Hannah. And Ayla and that Omega what’s his name got switched up”

Right away the air was thick with tension. Kate squeezed my hand hard enough to hurt. Telling me without words that I needed to keep my mouth shut. Mom and Dad stiffened at the insult. Not because he
