The Prince’s Unwilling mate

“Sam welcome back, I am sad to have to ask you back so soon after your daughter being released,” Roderick tells Cynthia’s father.

The poor man looks crestfallen, I remember from the first time that he was absolutely appalled by his daughter’s behavior. He had been nothing but kind to me, so I pitied him for being here again. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“I am sorry to be here too King Roderick, it feels like I keep failing as a father.” Sam is clearly fitting back his tears.

We cannot banish her from the pack but maybe he can tell her she needs to move out of her parents‘ home. That way maybe Sam would not be g held as responsible anymore. It would most likely do Cynthia a world of good if she had a taste of the real world. But I could not suggest that now, it could come across as me using or trying to use Sam as a pawn to punish his daughter.

We had decided we needed to let Sam come up with an idea on his own. All we wanted was to give her a ban into the castle. It would not affect her life too much. She would not be able to get to me so soon anymore. A positive effect even to her because in the end, it would stop her from going too far. Since she seemed to grow more and more unstable with everything she did to me. It would also mean that she would not be able to attend pack meals and events anymore. She loved socializing, and

since she was a young wolf she ate most of her meals in the pack home.

Simply because Sam would be too busy with working and raising Cynthia all while still grieving his mate. That is the beautiful thing about being part of a pack. You did not need to ask for help. There always was help available. It was a damn shame Cynthia was risking her position in this pack the one that she grew up in. I was sure she would miss being part of pack meals, and pack events but it was what needed to

be done.

My poor baby, she never learned to make her own breakfast.” Sam let ⠀ out a deep sigh before continuing “But then again maybe that is the

reason why she is acting like this now because I spoiled her too much. It felt like I needed to pour all the love I had for my mate and Cynthia just into Cynthia. All because I could not pour my love into my mate anymore. So while I hate how much Cynthia will miss everything I think it might be time she learns the consequences of her behavior.”

Since every pack member needed to know about the fact that Cynthia was no longer welcome in the castle, we would start with one month. Depending on how she would behave during that period we would either not speak of it again and allow her access to the castle again. Or we would need to renew the period and deny her access to the castle for another month or longer. Pack lunch was about to start, there was not doubt Cynthia was here. We decided to talk to Sam alone, he told us Cynthia had walked to the castle with him when we asked him where she was. The conversation with Sam took longer than we had planned

too. We had hoped to speak to Cynthia before the lunch. Now we had to pull Cynthia out of the lunch to talk with her. We needed to be quick so we could let the pack know during pack lunch.

We would use our mind link connection so that the pack members not attending the lunch would still know of the changes.

Seeing. Cynthia walking in dragging her feet, arms crossed like she was annoyed to be here. It triggered me instantly, nobody wanted to be here. Five wolves had been discussing her problematic behaviors that kept continuing. Long after we had told her she needed to stop, even after a short period in jail. Now she was acting like it was her valuable time that was wasted.

“Cynthia, I am so sick and tired of your behavior. You are walking in here like a sulking teenager. On top of the regulations, the royal family has set up for you. I want you to find a job on the packed ground. You are not getting an allowance anymore. And if you want to keep your room and get access to my groceries you need to pay me a boarding fee.” Sam shouted at Cynthia, startling all of us.

We understood where he was coming from. It was just so unexpected since he had never said anything like this before. He never gave her a real long–lasting consequence to her action. And in the grand scheme of things her entering the royal meeting room like a sulky teenager as he called it, wasn’t the worst

called it, wasn’t the worst thing she has ever done. Somehow her

attitude now was the straw that broke the camel’s back. We could all sense, see, and smell his frustration as Cynthia whined at her father. Telling him he was being unfair that it had been hard enough growing up without a mother.

She had been nothing but mean to me. But even the blind could see that Sam was a loving father. He had made mistakes but the mistakes he made were mistakes he made out of love. So to hear she would stoop so low as to blame him for growing up poorly because she didn’t have a mother. Trying to guilt trip him in not making her deal with the consequences because somehow she was the victim here

I know it was mean but when she mentioned she would be having all of her meals at the castle anyway. Because she never had a parent that was able to cook for her. I felt a pang of happiness. Knowing we could knock her down a peg. I just wish I could be the one to tell her about the regulations. But it would be weird for me to do so since I am not the Alpha or Luna of the pack,

“No Cynthia because you are hereby banned from entering the castle for a full month. Due to your harassment of my daughter–in–law, your future Luna and Queen, Ayla Hemming. The expressions crossing her face. were highly entertaining.

“No, you cannot do this to me, what I have done is not bad enough to warrant a punishment like a mad woman. Still showing that she was well aware of how far she could go without deserving a punishment and

that made it even worse.

“You are right about that, but since you have on multiple occasions. entered my home without my permission. Just to annoy a member of my family, disrespecting me like that. So I can very well can stop you from entering my home” Rodrick scolded her.

Because Sam had screamed at Cynthia, punishing her before we could speak up this conversation was even shorter than we expected. Meaning that the pack lunch was still going strong. So we made our way to the pack kitchen. Sam had to drag Cynthia who was kicking, screaming and crying not wanting to be humiliated like she was about to me. Sam was relentless I just hoped this wouldn’t come across wrong, causing people to dislike me.
