The Prince’s Unwilling mate

218 Ayla NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

This doctor’s appointment feels different. A week ago we told the pack I was expecting, that we were expecting. As we figured they would the pack was over the moon for us. Every single pack member came up to us to congratulate us. Krystel and Dean suggested a baby shower. They would plan it with Isabella and her Gemma and Beta because it needed. to surprise me. I would have been fine without a baby shower. That didn‘ t mean I did not like the fact I would get to see my family again. And I knew how much the pack wanted to celebrate us and the life growing inside me. That is what makes this appointment feel different.

The first two times, I had to sneak around and make it look like I was there for business. Everyone would be too concerned if they saw their future Luna visit the doctor let alone frequently. Now Griff and I could walk to the pack hospital and have a seat in the waiting room like a normal couple. The wolves we passed smiled at us, some wished us good luck. But they all had an idea as to why I was about to get seen by a doctor and I could tell it made them smile. Just being able to be proud, to enjoy moments like this where we would hear our pup’s heartbeat was amazing. Whatever it was that had been bothering Griffin the night of our announcement, it had nothing to do with him not being proud about becoming a daddy. That much was clear now, I still don’t know what it was that made him so worried. But I let it go, he has to be the one that comes to me with his worries. I want to show him that I trust him now and that even when I feel he is keeping something from me, I will respect and support his decision.

I hiss at the feeling of the cold ultrasound gel on my stomach. It’s warm outside, and I did not expect the gel to be that cold. It doesn’t matter though because it is only a minor inconvenience, and it means we will get to see our pup for the first time today.

“Here we have a head, the spinal cord, and here we see another head, this one is resting their head on their fist,” The doctor says with a knowing smile.

She said this one, I know what this means but it’s like I’m not processing the information. Like the explanation of what she means is hidden behind thick clouds.

“What do you mean this one doctor?” Griffin is able to voice the question that is on my mind too.

“Well, Princess Ayla, Crown Prince Griffin, the two of you are expecting twins” The doctor’s smile goes wider as she tells us.

“Thank you so much, Darling, you are amazing and I love you so much” Griffin hugged me and thanked me before the doctor even had the chance to wipe the gel off my stomach. She didn’t seem to mind though. And neither did I, I was just as happy as Griffin was to hear we were going to have not one but two pups in our lives soon.

“Do you want to go over and tell your parents? We can ask them if they have any

idea how we can get a second crib that looks like your old crib. Maybe they had it custom–made by someone in the pack?” Griffin smiles down at me as the doctor wipes the gel off my stomach.

“I am sure they will be excited to hear, and you’re right we need a second crib now maybe they can help figure it out.”

“Oh, Sweethearts, that is amazing news. I am so happy. And don’t you worry about the crib, Christian was the one who restored our crib. I will commission him to make a second one. I am sure he can, it will be our gift to you” Isabella squealed, she kept hugging us. I always enjoyed seeing Rodrick watch Isabella get so excited. He would just stand back smiling at her, his face lit up with adoration. And just as he is doing now when he agrees they will give us a second crib. He will always calmly agree to everything his mate suggests.

“Mom, Dad; I appreciate the offer, but you really don’t have to. All we wanted was some advice on where to get a similar crib” Griffin again voices what was on my mind.

“I know we don’t son, we want to that’s the difference. We gave our first grandchild their crib, we want to do the same for our second

grandchild.” We can’t compete with Rodrick’s logic, we end up just thanking them before we have to leave to finally get started on all the work we still need to do.

“Shit, Darling I overslept I have a mecting in fifteen minutes, I am so sorry I cannot make your coffee this morning. I’m going to hop in the shower I love you” Griffin says before rushing out of the bed.

Deep down I know it is not his fault, we have been busy with our jobs, preparing for our pups especially since we found out we are having twins months ago, and the wedding planning. We are marrying a week from now, Tonight we have our bachelor and bachelorette party. It will also be the first time Griffin’s gamer friends are visiting the pack.

Another thing that is stressing Griffin. Still him not being able to make me a coffee in the morning for a second day in a row hurts me.

“You know what, Griffin you never have to make me coffee ever again if it is too much of a bother” I scream at him crying, it’s like I am losing control and I hate it. It is only making me cry harder and making me feel angrier. I rush to the kitchen where I start to make myself a coffee. Slamming the cabinet doors, and the cup on the counter. I’m not even sure if I want to make sure that Griffin hears what I am doing. Or if it’s still just all the anger about everything.

“Darling. I love you but you know how hectic things have been lately. So while I am so sorry I overslept, there was no need for you to scream at me like that. Just know that while I will go into the meeting angry with you and hurt by your response I still love you and I will see you during lunch okay.” Griffin tells me, his voice cold, nothing like how he normally speaks to me.

A ball forms in my throat as my bile rises. I feel so lost, he is reassuring me, doing the one thing to reassure me. Still, I am angry with him, sad he will be busy for the rest of the morning working when he is mad at me. My coffee is long forgotten, I need a good long ery in the shower and then I need to eat something and get ready for my work.

And it’s only during that cry in the shower that I realize what just happened, and what made me react like I did. I also realize that this cannot go on like this, and I know just what to do to make sure it doesn’t
