I hated having to leave A in bed without giving her, her coffee first. She asked me to though and I
got she wanted to get as much sleep as she could. That is why I called the coffee shop she would
always go to after going to the bridal store. To tell them to prepare her something special, giving my
credit card info so they could charge me for it. I was a little taken aback when the coffee shop told me
they did not charge my credit card because my fiancé never came in. I was going back and forth about
calling the dress shop to see if she left there on time. Maybe something happened causing her to be
dyed. When I decided I would call just to be sure. Especially since A wanted to go to the final
fitting on her own so everyone would be surprised by how the dress looked on her. I heard Dean’s
panicked voice over the mindlink.
“Crown Prince Griffin are you on a date with A right now?” My knees buckled, and I could swear the
floor beneath me opened up to swallow me whole and sent me to the deepest pit of hell. This can’t be
happening to me not anymore. “No, why” I manage to croak out.
“Mike run into her she is going to the clearing by theke because you left her a note. He is going there
but he is only human. I am shifting now” He tells me and I know the fierce determination in his voice is
not just about rescuing his mate. He loves A too, as his future Luna and Queen and as his friend. So
I mindlink my parents, Dillion, Gerald and the lead warriors so they can send their teams to the
clearing. And then I shift too, running to the clearing faster than I have ever run before.

Just as I skid to a halt at the edge of the clearing I see a wolf, who I can smell is David jump up ready
to attack A. Hannah throws herself between them. David must smell that she is pregnant with his
pup, still, he bites at her throat tearing her windpipe. The mother of his pup falls to the floor in a mess of
limps and blood. Whimpering clutching her belly like she is trying to find a way to protect her unborn
pup. At the same time Mike, who came running out of the bushes ms the rock he was holding
against Cynthia’s head knocking her out.
I am about to jump in because there is no way a human and a wolf who cannot shift because she is
pregnant can win a fight with David. Dean. has just arrived too, A made her way over to Hannah. I
cannot hear what she is saying over the blood rushing in my ears. It doesn’t matter, Hannah sadly is a
lost cause and I am going to make sure A and Mike won’t be. I want to run towards her and just
attack David. But there is no telling what he will do. So that would only risk my mate and our unborn
pups.
After shifting back I calmly approach David in my human form. Hands raised showing him I mean no
harm. Even if I would definitely do him harm if I was able to. Now I need to know what he is nning to
do and find a way to get the love of my life and my friend out of there.
“He is distracted I am going to get them out okay” Dean mindlinks me and all I can do is give an almost
invisible nod.
David doesn’t pay me any attention, he runs to A who doesn’t seem to notice too busy stroking
Hannah’s hair that’s now turning red and tangled together. He yanks her up by her hair snarling only
then he looks
at me.
“I need you to resign your title to me. And your mate here will get to

live. The two of you will move out of the castle and make sure my mate gets the medical attention she
requires seeing as your human knocked her out” He growls, panic ws at my frantically beating heart.
There is no way out, I would willingly give up everything I have to save A and my pups. But I don’t
think he understands this is not how it works. My parents are still the rulers of the country and it’s not
like they would let him get away with it. I am confused about him calling Cynthia his mate, but I cannot
even focus on that.
“Griffin, she is marked, she has his name as a mark, she is his chosen mate. Dean says in confusion”
David looks at Dean who is pulling down Cynthia’s cor, I can’t make sense of what’s happening. A
smiles and jams what looks like a hairpin in David’s chest. He falls down onto the grass convulsing.
A runs to me, hands covered in blood, and I can’t tell if it’s hers, Hannah’s or David or from all of
them.
“Baby I am okay, Hannah kept a sharp silver hairpin in her hair, David has been threatening her. She
was innocent in all of this she…” But she ran out of steam unable to tell me what happened in the
minutes I was not there. Unable to tell me what Hannah told her. All she can do now is bury her face in
my neck sobbing uncontrobly.
By now all of the warriors, even the ones not on duty, and our closest friends and family have arrived at
the scene.
“Griff, I hate to have to do this but we need to get a clear story of what happened here we are going to
need to talk to A and Mike” Dad tells me when I am stillforting A who clings to me like a baby
would to its mother.

“I can tell you Alpha, I ran into A and she told me she was going to meet Griffin here. But Dean told
me he was supposed to go into a meeting with Griffin at the same time. I didn’t trust it so I followed her
and texted Dean. Cynthia and that one were working together and tricked Hannah intoing here
too. So they nned to threaten Crown Prince Griffin so he would give David his title. They wanted to
be the new King and Queen. That is all I know.” He sighs, before he falls to his knees trembling I hurt
one of the wolves from your pack now they will never ept me.
Mike’s crying seems to snap A out of it. “No, Mike you saved their Princess, you stopped two
mentally ill wolves from threatening the pack. And I will make sure everyone will know what you did.
Rodrick, I am willing to talk to you of course, but not here, not like this. Can you give me thirty minutes
to go back home, shower ande to the meeting room? I feel like more people need to hear what
happened today.” Dad just nods, he is as much in awe of her strength as I am.
“Pleasee with me Griffin, I don’t want to be alone now please?” I would have never left her alone.
Not after all of this but I am scared at how calm A is. And I just hope this doesn’t ruin the progress
she made in therapy. But even if it will, all is finally over now and we will get back to where we need to
