The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya the Author novel Chapter 245

I didn’t even know what I did, I wasn’t even sure if she would accept the cookies as my last gift. When she opened her mouth I expected her to reject me before I could even finish the cookies. Not that she would give me a timeline to convince her. Sitting at her kitchen table chatting, and seeing her enjoying the cookies I made her was amazing. It was enough, but I noticed her eyes drifting to the boxes full of books every few seconds. And I realized I could do something to make her happen. More so when she told me she didn’t have the means yet to buy herself bookshelves. On my way here I saw an IKEA and I was so happy she finally agreed. 

As she was putting away some stuff I quickly mindlink Gerald offering him a month–long vacation. So that he can take Jessa on a mate–moon with the royal jet. If he gets Jessa to tell him what bookcases Ayla likes. he can let me know. Minutes later I get a few TikToks with a message stating that is what she wants. They’re all the same IKEA bookcases and some small cabinets. Made to look like built–in bookcases with some crown molding and some additional wood. Gerald definitely deserved. his holiday. While driving to IKEA I can not hide the groovy smile from my face. Ayla seems happy too, maybe I can even get her to go out for dinner with me. 

We arrive at the Ikea and I can’t help hoping that the people looking at us see us as a couple. It’s a stupid thing to hope but to me, this feels like a date. If only I could I would hold her hand, kiss her, and wrap my arms around her waist. But I know that would be too much, too soon. Instead,

I just walk next to her, she clearly enjoys just walking around looking at all the displays. Everything she picks up and smiles at before putting it down with a wistful sigh. I get it and put it in my cart. It takes her a little while to notice. 

“Griffin what are you doing?” she hisses at me. 

Dillion was right she is a firecracker and I love it. I would never want a meek and docile mate. We need to be equal partners like my parents are. Like my grandparents are and it is the only way to be good rulers. You can’t be equal partners if one does not have an opinion or doesn’t dare to give it. 

“It’s the same as the bookcases, Ayla, just let me spoil you. Let me make you happy!” I carefully say, not to give anything away to all the humans surrounding us. 

“You should be happy your boyfriend, is so loving Sweetheart. You can be independent, and still, let the man who loves you spoil 

u every once in a while” An elderly woman who walks past us with her husband. 

tells us. 

I could kiss that woman, both for thinking I am Ayla’s boyfriend. And for convincing my stubborn mate to accept my gifts. She smiles and nods, telling the woman I am trying to make up for making a huge mistake. The elderly man now tells me to be prepared to drain my account. I could never do so in the IKEA, but I won’t tell him that. There is no need for me to brag, instead, I wrap my arm around her waist and

kiss her cheek. After telling the man she is worth it. Reveling in the fact that she didn’t pull away. She just smells and tells the couple she will make me pay before we go our separate ways. 

“You enjoyed that didn’t you?” She asks me chuckling. 

So I’m honest and agree I did. I enjoy everything about this outing. She does not stop looking at things, and I don’t stop putting everything I think she might like or enjoy into my cart.

cook and clean. And do woodwork and home improvement. As I pup I figured we had staff so to me they were unnecessary skills. Adding more workload to my already overflowing schedule. When I got back home I needed to thank him. Because at some point after carrying all the newly bought stuff inside her home, I noticed Ayla was about to mindlink someone just as we sat down with the coffee her Grandmother made us. Feeling brave, feeling sure of the day we just had I asked her if something was wrong. She told me there wasn’t. the firecracker was 

gone as she told me she was about to mindlink her Great Uncle Nicolas. He had almost promised her he would help build the bookcases. There was no way I would try and come between Ayla and any relative. Neither was I going to assume as she–wolf she would not be able to do some woodwork. All I considered was what a great opportunity this wast to spend more time with her. 

“If he needs a hand. I can stay a little longer to help build the bookcases,” I told her. 

She was about to agree but stopped herself wondering if a Crown Prince like me could even build anything. I reassured her that I did telling her about the time her dad had me fix the door I ripped off its hinges. Which meant I had to tell her who had pissed me off that badly and how she did 

1. it. 

“Griffin, last chance are you sure she isn’t a better fit for you?” She asked me in a pained voice. And I knew the only way to stop her from overthinking was telling her the truth.
