The Prince’s Unwilling mate

172 Ayla

As expected Griffin did not like me going to see Hannah. I was scared it would bring back unwanted memories. He didn’t trust her either, he had no reason to. The fact that I was adamant about going tonight did not. help either, he wanted to prepare me before meeting her. I hadn’t seen her ever since I was kidnapped, I knew she was carrying David’s pup but I had no idea how far along she was. She might even show already. The thing is there was no time left, if the Elder Council would be here tomorrow morning there was no telling how late they would start the trial. I would need to get some rest, write my statement, come up with a punishment, and have breakfast with the pack all before 10 AM

tomorrow.

Griffin knowing I was right agreed, and mind–linked one of the guards to bring Hannah to one of the interrogation rooms. By the time we got there, Hannah was already waiting for us. Without her expensive clothes and make–up, she looked different. The fact that she was indeed showing, even if it was just a little bump did not help either. Her eyes were not filled with equal parts fear and defeat. It had replaced the hate and arrogance her eyes had always held when she looked at me.

4. 4.

“You’re lucky you know” Were the first words that fell from her lips. before I had truly sat down.

I was lucky, there was no use in denying that. Still, I was unsure why Hannah mentioned how lucky I was. Especially with all that I went

through because of her.

“I know I am but why tell me that now?” I asked as I settled in my chair.

“Because I did it all for him, I hated you for being his mate. But he has proven he isn’t worthy of either of us. Yet you found your second chance mate, and it’s clear how much he loves you. Yet I rejected my true mate, in the hopes of him eventually loving me. Now all I have is our pup as he left me behind. Now you are here to decide what kind of punishment you are about to give me aren’t you?” She sighed clearly defeated.

Again I had no reason to deny what she was telling me. I am not one to lie not even to her. So I agreed explaining more of why I was here.

“Well, the Council of Elders will have the final say. Since I am your victim though they want me to suggest a punishment. I know what you did to me, I know the moments when David had me kidnapped when you helped me. And I want to know why you did what you did. I want to know what you were hoping to get out of this. Of course, I have some ideas as to what drove you. But unlike you, I am not one, to ruin someone’s lives based on what I think of them.” I couldn’t help adding in, the last part.

I was not planning on screaming and shouting at her. Likewise, I was not going to be violent to her. That didn’t mean I was not angry with her, that I did not hate her for what she had done to me and my family.

“You know why I did it, I love David, even after everything that he did. to everyone I still love him. All I wanted to do was to make him see I was a better fit for him than you are. Even when you didn’t want him. anymore. I was never the one who wanted to mate with Griffin.” She started explaining.

Causing Griffin, to wrap his arm around me. Like he was staking his claim showing her that he had no intention of mating with her either. I smiled up at him, I was not worried about him being attracted to Hannah at all. I didn’t even believe her when she tried to convince me Griffin.

was about to pick her as her chosen mate. Let alone now that we marked each other, were trying to conceive and engaged to be married. Still, his

reassurance was sweet.

Hannah just glared at us, angry and sad, but it didn’t bother me. She tried to ruin my life she could deal with seeing how happy I was despite

her.

“Even if you loved him, which I sorta understand. You didn’t have to go that far. Like did you never realize he did not love you back? Was there. never a moment, where you realized he wasn’t that into you? What made him the better option than your fated mate, you know the man who died because you rejected him” I couldn’t keep the cold judgmental tone out of my voice.

It was mind–blowing to me that she never stopped trying to win over the man who ruined everyone and everything in his path. Even in the face of true love, with the man the Moon Goddess had created especially for her. My question was the first time that I saw a real emotion on her face.

Other than missing David, or what I read as her missing David.

“Maybe it was not just love. My parents told me that a she–wolf of my stature. My lineage should try to grow. Get higher up, of course, they realized I was in love with David. And they supported me. They told me that I was a better match for David. His parents did too, my Alpha and Luna. So what was I about to do, everyone convinced me David and I would be together in the end. That pack leaders sometimes make hard decisions because their happiness is what keeps the pack thriving. And we all need a thriving pack.” She sighed and I was unsure if it was because she realized that what she said was absolute bullshit.

Or if she still missed David, longing for whatever she was missing out on. Even if I knew that what she was missing out on was not much. Part of me pitied her, she fell in love with someone and there is nothing we can do to stop that. All the people in her life who were supposed to keep, her safe. Show her right from wrong filled her head with the idea that her teenage dreams were viable and that she was entitled to see them come through.

“Baby I know enough, let’s go to bed okay?” I turned away from Hannah, and she told me enough.

Not only did I know what punishment I was going to request to be handed out to her. Now that I heard her reasoning. Now that I was certain she was indeed–pregnant. Griffin had grown annoyed at her telling pack leaders had to be happy first. He had every reason to hate Hannah and didn’t need a lot to

lash out at her. Not only agreeing with him but wanting to be there for him too I came up with an idea as we

walked to the door. So just before the door opened I turned to her.

“A good pack leader is happy when their pack is happy. You and David would have been a good match considering you both are too selfish to see that. You just wouldn’t be a good match as the Alpha and Luna.” Without giving her the chance to answer me I walked off and closed the
