The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya the Author novel Chapter 75

Going out more this weekend really helped with how most of the pack saw me. Most of them knew there was an event coming to officially introduce me. The best thing was that we managed to keep it a secret from Griff. Roderick had unloaded a ton of fake work onto him, making him believe he would have to work all throughout the weekend too. Which would have been a little mean if it was not for the fact that he was about to have two weeks off after I moved in with him So that we could have a matemoon together just like he gave Jessa and Gerald.
Roderick, who like his wife explicitly told me never to call him King Roderick again, seemed to have a lot of fun in fooling his son. Dillion and Gerald were troopers too, and they enjoyed teasing their friend even more. All in all, everything was shaping up to be a perfect weekend. I was about to clock out for my second to last shift at the library. When Dad texted me to video call him when I was home. My skin immediately pr icks, the only reason Dad would want to video call me was if he had something big to tell me. And him wanting to tell me as soon as possible was a bad omen if I ever saw one.
So I rushed home, Grandma shot me a look full of pity letting me know that she already knew what had happened. I just show my phone and then I rush to my bedroom and call Dad. He picks up on the second ring, both he and Mom are in the frame. Making my hands go sweaty with how serious this must be.
“Our family is fine, sweetheart don’t you worry about that. But this is something I felt I needed to tell you in person. Alpha Phillip and Luna Jenna died during a car crash. So David is the Alpha of the
Blood Moon pack now” At first I had no idea why that would make my parents so nervous.

They knew I was going to move in with Griffin within two weeks Until I realized that this meant that our peace treaty with Alpha Phillip was now void. David could actually wage a war on us now. There was no one stopping him, we suspected he would need a few weeks to mourn is parents. He had a younger sister who he would need to take care of. It should give us some time to come up with a plan to stop him from waging war on us. Chances of me and Griff going on a matemoon soon were suddenly very slim. Not that I cared though, I wanted to do everything in my power to make sure that my family was safe, that all the packs were safe even the Blood Moon pack. I would do everything to keep them all safe even the ones that did not deserve it. Who had bullied me, the ones who watched Hannah and her friends assault me? Hell, I would even save her if I could. Because it was my duty as future queen, as Luna of all Luna’s. It was the right thing to do, and it didn’t matter if others did the right thing or not.
Griff and his parents must know by now and even if they didn’t, I had texted Griff I was worried about what my parents wanted to talk about. He would want to be there for me and I wasn’t going to lie to him or his parents. Which meant we would have to discuss this before the BBQ. And I had to admit I was a little upset about the fact that this would hang over our party like a storm cloud. Now I almost wished Griffin knew so that he could reassure me. I wonder if he knows how much he reassures me. Sometimes just by being his goofy self. But then I realize how stressed out Griffin will be about this. Now he won’t be the one to reassure me. I would be the one to surprise him, distract him, and make him happy. With that new resolve, I chatted with Mom and Dad a little longer before ending the call and dialing Griffin’s number.
“Hey, Darling it is so good to hear your voice. But I think I know what this is about.” There was an unmistakable question in Griffin’s voice even if he told me that he knew.
The weird thing was it had been Uncle Cedric who told Roderick

about Alpha Phillip and Luna Jenna’s passing. Normally the new Alpha would let the royal family know. Even in this time of deep grief and mourning. New Alphas usually let them know the same day. Now it was the day after and David still hadn’t let the royal family know. His parents suspected this was because David wanted to keep the ciement of surprise. My family and I had put two and two together too. Luckily enough Mom, Dad, and Daniël hadn’t been home at the time. Queen Isabella herself had invited them to a royal event. She had let Alpha Phillip know that she knew he would be willing to part with some of his most important pack members as it benefited the relationship between the BloodMoon pack and the Royal family. Greedy as he had been for power and status he had excepted. So everyone traveled to the White Oak pack yesterday.
As my parents flew to come and visit my introduction as Griffin’s mate. David’s parents had died on impact in a terrible car crash. The Birch’s hadn’t been good to me. Not even when I figured David and I were friends. His little sister Sarah had been kind to me but she was only a child. Still, I pitied them, dying in your forties is young. Even for a human but for a werewolf, it was even younger. No matter how much I despised David now he loved his parents and his sister and this must hurt them both.
“What is on your mind beautiful, you’ve gone quiet on me?” Griffin asked.
For a split second, I felt guilty telling him what I was thinking about. But then I remembered myself for the kind of person he was. He was kind and good and just and he would never enjoy someone else’s misery.
“I was just thinking how weird it is you can hate someone and still feel sorry for them” I answered him
Just as I expected Griffin shared the same sentiment, and if David

would tell him as he should. Even if it was a little later than normal, Griffin would be sure he and his sister would still get the care package the royal family always sent in cases like this. It was hard to not tell him how happy and excited I was to move in with him in two weeks. Or how proud it made me that he was about to introduce me as his Luna in 48 hours. I just fake needing to go to get some food. All that I heard made me lose my appetite but I was sure I couldn’t listen to him talk to me like that any longer without blurting it all out.
Sweet as ever, Griff didn’t complain about me needing to hang up so soon. He was telling me how happy he was to hear I was still eating despite the stress. Promising me to have a nice home-cooked meal ready for me when I arrived tomorrow. Meaning I had to go downstairs and actually eat something or else I would feel guilty for the rest of the weekend. This man cared for me again, just by loving me so much, and not giving up when a lot of mates had run away and rejected me. They would have ignored the sacred matebond and gone for a chosen one because it was too much work. Because I was carrying around more baggage than he could help me carry. But not Griffin, he always had enough strength to carry everything for me. It took me too long to get there but I appreciated the mate he is, the man he is so much now. That sometimes I have to pinch myself to be sure what we share isn’t a dream. But this isn’t a dream, this is my reality and this is my very near future. I would hold my tongue for 24 more hours and then we could actively start planning that future together
