Chapter 95

Griffin 95“I know Ayla, she would never do this, she hates David, and even if she would get back with him.She would never write a letter that mean” Dad says. My knees buckled with relief, I was afraid I had to convince my parents something was wrong. Thatmy sweet, honest, fierce mate would never do anything like this. But they knew her and so they fellin love with her too. Mom was crying now because for her it was like her daughter had gonemissing. “I am going to call her parents, they slept over at Ayla’s and her Gran…” Just as I am suggestingcalling Ayla’s parents Jay is calling me. “It’s her father I tell my parents before I answer the phone” “Griffin, it’s Ayla” The fear in Jay’s voice is evident, and it shakes me to the very core. “I know I received a letter this morning, stating she won’t move in here because she is back withDavid” Before I can tell him I know she would never do that to me Jay speaks up again. “Tell me you don’t believe the letter, they left a letter on her bed stating the same but she was soexcited about her future with you when she left the party last night,” He told me. I knew she was, from the moment I started reading this I knew she didn’t write this letter. That shewould never leave me to get back with David. Still, it felt good to hear, a balm to my soul. “Listen, Jay, you come over like you planned to meet with me here. 0.00% III O Griffin 95. Because she IS excited about our future together and I will make sure we have that future with her”I promised not just him but myself too. Because I felt so lost without Ayla like the world was crumbling down around me. Without her evenrealizing it she had become my anker. Where I used to have a goal, keeping me with my feet on the

ground. Since getting to know her she was my greatest distraction and my biggest comfort. But sheneeds me now so I cannot give in to my fears. I just have to put on a brave face and rescue her. When she is back with me, I will crumble as soon as she is in my arms. I will cry when she is theone to wipe my tears away. “I am so happy to know you’re my daughter’s mate, I know you will do everything to get her backhome with you. But Griff we must remember how strong she is” Jay tells me but I can hear his voice waver. Daniel and Krystel are still on their mate-moon, blissfully unaware of the news. They both need toknow, I cannot imagine what it must feel like for either Jay or Tessie to have to call their son andthen their pregnant daughter, to tell them their sister is kidnapped. “I will call Kate, Krystel, and Dan to let them know so you can focus on getting here okay?” I tell him He sighs with relief, before thanking me and then hanging up the phone. “Tell Kate and her Mate they can come over here and stay at the castle too. The same goes forAyla’s grandparents. We need all the help we can get to figure out where they are. And familyneeds each other in times like this” Mom suggest after having overheard who I am about to call. So I think her, I text Jay to let him know his parents are welcome to 19.74% Griffin 95288 (Vouchers come over too. And then I make the hardest phone call of my life “Hey, Griff, shouldn’t you be preparing for your mate to arrive? Or are you nervous?” Daniëlcheerfully answers the phone “No, Dan I am so sorry to be the one that has to tell you this but David kidnapped Ayla. You andKrystel need to come home” I tell him regret and guilt washing over me. Because I could have stopped it, she was about to be a part of the royal family. No, she is a part ofthe royal family. I should have sent a guard with her just to be safe. Especially when we alreadysuspected David was planning something. How could we have been so naive to think that he wouldgo after us? After the royal family, after our pack when all he wanted was Ayla. She is worth more

than the entirety of Silver Creek, the Silver Moon pack. She is worth more than the entire kingdomand he was too late but he realizes it now. So we should have, known, I should have known hewould not be coming after us. I should have known he would be coming after her. And I should havekept my mate safe. I’m always telling how much I love that she is so petite, that it makes me feel like I can keep hersafe. But when push comes to shove when she really needs me I’m not there for her. I spent my time arguing with a she-wolf from my own pack because I could not make it clear enoughthat Ayla is the only one I will ever love again until my dying breath. A breath I would be so willing tobreathe out to make her smile. When I finally managed to deal with that I just fell asleep, she musthave been alone and scared for hours when I was just simply sleeping. “Griff, you still there” Dan shouts at me, pulling me back to the phone in my hand and the twopeople on the other side of the line. “Yes, I am it is just, I uhm well, SH IT” I curse I feel like I am losing it. Griffin 95 I want to properly function until she is back with me, I want to be the strong Prince who haseverything under control but I am not and I don’ t know how long I can keep faking it. “Griffin, snap out of it, you are spiraling and that is not getting my sister back. I know you love herand most importantly she knows you love her and it will keep her strong. Let her love for you do thesame, let it keep you strong, and remember what she would say to you” There is a tenderness, afondness in his voice. He would no doubt be chuckling thinking about what Ayla would tell me if she was here now. If itwasn’t for the situation being so dire. So I’ll say the words out loud, I tell him what his sister, my mate would have told me if she was hereright now. “Don’t get in your head Alpha, just think I know you can” I can see it, her smirk when she tells me.Her hand on my cheek drawing my attention back to her. A faint smile tugs at my lips, because Dan is right I need to remember she loves me. I know she will

trust me to come for her wherever she is. So I need to make sure that I honor that trust. That I won’tgo all Alpha on her but that I will replace her as soon as I can and that I will get her out. Daniël and Idiscussed when Krystel and him will be back. Telling him to come straight to see me when theyarrive. And there is just one last phone call to make. Just like Dan, Kate answers cheerily, wanting to know if I need any help preparing for Ayla. Excitedto come to see the castle soon since Ayla invited her and Tim. And just like her brother, I can hearthe heartbreak in her voice when I tell her Ayla is gone. Then I can hear her replace her resolve, curseout David, and then without me having to tell her she is welcome here. She tells me she will be atthe castle around dinnertime. Griffin 95288 (Vouchers “She is just like her siblings you know, honest and smart the Hemmings did a good job at raising those three. For now, we just have to believe that, it is what willmake her able to keep herself safe during this time” Father reassures me, or he tries to and I haveno choice but to make myself believe it as I mindlink the entire pack to hold an emergency meeting.
