My trick helped, lying in a bed that smelled of A. Thinking about reuniting with her the next morning,
finally made me get a good night’s rest. But when I woke up this morning, the reality hit me like a ton of
bricks. This could go two ways, we would have to fight and proceed with a hostile takeover of the
BloodMoon Pack and find A there. Or we did but David would have been smart enough to hide her
somewhere else entirely.
Going in fighting could hurt our chances of finding A.. Something I wasn’t willing to risk. But the
chances of David allowing us to just walk in and talk about things were non–existent. I sigh heavily, this
day could be the day I have been looking forward to ever since reading that letter. Or it could be the
worst day of my entire life.
A small voice in the back of my mind reminded me of the third option. The option where A would get
caught in the crossfire and die. My stomach churned at the thought and I need to run to the toilet. I
barely made it in time, and as my body was heaving. I hated myself for not being able to be in control of
my thoughts and emotions. I was an Alpha wolf, and not any I was the Crown Prince.
My mate needed me to be strong and brave like she no doubt was. Yet here I am listening to the sound
ofst night’s dinner sttering the toilet bowl. Gagging even more at the acid smell surrounding me
now.

“Griffin, are you okay son?” A worried Quinn asked me.

He knew I was not alright, honestly, I don’t think either of us is. But there is not a lot you can say when
you find your grandson–inw puking in your missing granddaughter’s bathroom. Quinn was a
comforting figure and an Alpha who had issues with his mate before theypleted the matebond. He
had to fight a war with hunters and rogues just to keep his mate safe. Maybe he could give me some
words of wisdom. Something to make me feel ready to take on this new mission.
“Would it be rude to tell you I am scared shitless” I shrugged, still- kneeling in front of the toilet bowl.
Scared of what would happen if I
were to move.
“No, it would show me you are an amazing mate and future King.” Heforted me, patting my back
and ignoring the stance that was filling up the small bathroom.
“How is not having my things in order, how is crumbling under the burden of missing my mate a sign
that I am a good King or mate for that matter” I asked him finally able to stand up again.
“Do you know why the MoonGoddess created mates?” Quinn seems to
ignore my question but there must be something be
wants to tell me.
In reply, I just shake my head and it is all he needs to continue.

“Because no matter how much she tried to perfect us she never could. She could not make us wless.
As a solution to that she gave us mates. A mate to counter your ws and strengthen your powers. All
we need to do to be worthy of our mate is believe in the MoonGoddess and love them, unconditionally”
Quinn’s words were somewhat shooting.

But it still seemed more like he was telling me why I was so wed not as opposed to what made me
so strong.
“I know what you’re thinking but to love your mate unconditionally, you need to think about them with
your heart, not your mind. The fact that you’re mate is not here, and we don’t know if she is safe gets a
different. reaction from your brain than it does from your heart right?” He asked
me
At first, he didn’t make any sense. But when I gave it a bit of thought he was right. My brain was telling
me I was the Crown Prince. That I am. strong enough to ovee this. It was telling me the steps I
should be. taking to get her back. But I couldn’t because my heart was telling me to be scared, my
heart was telling me there is no use to life if it was not with her in it. And the voice of my heart was loud
enough to drown out the voice of my brain.
“It does, and my heart is way louder. Thanks, Quinn that helps a bit” I tell him as it did.
Maybe I have been looking at it the wrong way. Maybe this isn’t a sign

of weakness. If he is truly using his Alpha voice like we are suspecting him to, David is using his wits,
not his heart. He is using his powers over his pack not the love between them. Right now there isn’t a
lot that is more reassuring than being reminded how different I am to him.
“Go brush your feeth, shower, brush your teeth again, and thene down for breakfast,” Quinn tells
me, like a father would his son, reminding me of the fact that I am a part of this family.
And that as a family we will not rest until we have our girl back with us. So I do as I am told. Once I am
downstairs I eat a normal breakfast. Not plucking at pastries, eating as little as I can just to give off the
appearance of eating to get some of the others off my back. No, I eat enough to be strong, and full of
energy to face whatever I will be facing when I finally arrive at the BloodMoon pack. Knowing I am
listening to my heart and not my mind because that is how the MoonGoddess” intended it gives me
peace and hope. Peace in knowing I am not weak I am just wed as we all are. Hope because she is
an honest goddess and will not punish the ones who live as she intended us to. Still listening to my
brain every now and then won’t hurt me either. Some things you just need to be smart about.
***
After breakfast, we all make it to the airport, Alpha Cedric and his mates and kids are staying behind.
They cannot abandon their pack. Especially since there still is a threat of war. David seems to be either
delusional or deranged. So there is no telling what he is going to do next.

The rest of A’s family including Krystel areing along, as are Dillion, Colin, Gerald, and Jessa. I
have decided to ask the warriors who came along with me to stay behind. Which they were more than
willing to do. This way the White Oak pack is stronger in numbers even if they already have an
impressive army. It also shows signs of the alliance between them and the royal family.
As I board the ne I see Mom and Dad again. And I can’t help but notice how tired they look. Like
their bodies finally realized that they were aging. I hate the fact that David is hurting so many wolves.
When all he had to do three years ago was realize what a gift he had been blessed with. He chose to
reject the gift, to reject A. Only for him to regret his decision when she found happiness with
someone else. When we found happiness with each other. I swore to myself again that I would punish
him for this.
But when we finally arrived at the BloodMoon pack I had no idea how to. Because He was gone, the
pack was left without an Alpha. They were obviously still under his control. But he was nowhere to be
found, so A wasn’t either. Even if he needed to be close to have such control over them. And from
the look of disarray, it had been a while since he had been an active Alpha.
“Fuck what are we going to do now?” Father asked me, cursing for the first time in forever.
