The Prince’s Unwilling mate

140 Griffin

I was finally taking care of Ayla again, it was awful to see her struggle like that. For a second, I feared that she would just slip back into a coma if I let her sleep for too long. I believed the doctor when she said that would not be the cause. And from the relief on Ayla’s face, she had the same fear before the doctor reassured us both.

I don’t think Ayla ever knew how strong I think she is. However, I knew the truth, so feeling her break down in my arms. Feeling her tears. soaking my T–shirt was like a stab to the heart. I hated seeing her so broken, and at that moment I had quietly promised her and myself that I would make her feel whole again. I would be the one that showed her how strong she was again. First, that meant taking extra care of her, if I could mend her broken body. To make her feel fit again, it would be easier for the rest to follow.

As I undressed her for the first time ever, my stomach churned at the sight of her naked body. Full of bruises and cuts, seeing her ribs as she stood there ready to get into the bath. The fingerprints on her hips.” Indicating how David had held her down as he was having his way with her. I felt sad, disgusted, and furious all at once. But with how Ayla was feeling, there was no room for my emotions. She was my top priority

now.

Scared she would fall asleep during bathing, I got into the tub with her. Letting her sit between my legs as I gently washed every inch of her,

Thanking the Moon, Goddess that my body did not have its usual reaction to seeing my perfect mate naked. To touching her soft bare skin. Now was not the time, I would not make her feel like that was the only thing I wanted from her.

If she would never be touched like that because of what David has done to her. I would not love her less. I would stay loyal to her to my dying breath. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Now she was lying in the bed to me drifting off after we bathed and she had eaten the porridge I made her. She asked me to wear one of my shirts to bed. And of course, I had agreed, I had always loved seeing her wear my clothes. It always drove home the feeling of her being mine. Not to mention it was sexy as hell since my shirts were so big on her that they functioned as a mini dress. Now she looks more vulnerable than she does sexy. With how much weight she lost, they were even bigger on. her now. And still, I could not help but feel so damn attracted to her. I had to remind myself that this was not the time. Ayla had too much healing to do.

For a second, Dillion rushing into our bedroom was a happy distraction. I figured he missed Ayla too. And was now true to his word rushing in to just tell her something silly. Or show her something he had bought

her.

I don’t know exactly what he said to her when I was gone, but the

doctors were convinced that whatever it was had helped to bring her back to us. When he told us that he had news on David, my heart dropped. My anger soared at the fact that Dillion asked Ayla if she wanted to hear it too. Of course, she didn’t she was far too weak to get involved in the pack business now.

But stubborn as my wonderful mate was, she pushed herself up, resting against the headboard. Gesturing at her throat to indicate that she couldn’t speak yet.

Dillion presented her with a small whiteboard with markers so she could join in the conversation without needing to speak. She smiled at him and started writing on it before Dillion even said a word.

“Thanks, Dillion, this helps,” she wrote and I swear Dillion puffed up his chest a bit like he was proud to hear Ayla thanking him.

Or well to see Ayla thanking him, the next thing she wrote was addressed to me. And her words made me fall in love with her even

more.

“Don’t pout Griff, I am proud to be your Luna and Queen. I want to help” She needed to write it down two times because the whiteboard was too

small.

When she was done, I could only smile and kiss her forehead as I told

her.

“And I am proud to be your Alpha and King, Darling but worrying about you is part of the job” Then I settled into the pillows again resting against the headboard of the bed..

Ready to hear whatever it was, Dillion had to tell us.

“David has been spotted at an airport, along with Jason and the other members of his new pack. Sad really that they left Hannah out, more so since she is carrying his pup. Poor girl really loves him, and I honestly don’t see why: She is not my type but honestly, anyone could do better than that steaming back of shit” He shrugged, causing Ayla to giggle.

Hearing Ayla giggle was the best sound, but I did not know how to feel about David escaping the country. On the one hand, I wanted to punish him for all he had put Ayla and me through. On the other hand, knowing he was so far away from us now meant Ayla was safe. He could not retaliate and kidnap her again before we would find him. We could look at what country he had fled to and contact the royal family there to make. sure that they would expedite David and the rest of his pack to us. We would then be able to put them to trial and punish him. As evil as it was, I was considering if it would be enough reason to punish him worse. To come back to the agreement I made with Hannah, where I said I would spare both their lives in return for her telling me what happened to Ayla

and David.

But Ayla hadn’t known about Hannah’s pregnancy yet, and I was scared to see how she would react to the news. When I looked at her, she hardly seemed to show any emotion.

“Darling, are you okay, I wanted to tell you about Hannah being pregnant with David’s pup?” I asked her since I could not read her at all.

“I don’t care about their future, only ours,” She wrote on the little whiteboard.

Taking my hand in hers, squeezing it again, showing me she was either much stronger than any of us could ever imagine. Or she was so broken. that she wasn’t able or willing to let her emotions in. I hated not knowing what the reason was for her to be this casual about it. And as Dillion said his goodbye and Ayla snuggled back in the pillows, I could only hope I would know soon. So that I could help her the way she needed.
