The Alpha Prince And His Bride
Episode 32

Eric’s POV:

As I made my way inside the receptionist’s area , I noticed the way the patients and nurses ducked their heads in fear . One of the spies I’d hired to track Lucy’s every move had reported that she visited this doctor recently and I was more than curious to find out why .

I totally disregarded the head receptionist and stormed into the doctor’s office , I spotted him looking through some documents on his desk . He looked up from the files and froze as soon as his eyes fell upon me .

“Alpha Eric .” He greeted me hesitantly , it was usually easy to tell whether my presence intimidated someone and he was most definitely afraid . “What can I do for you today ? “

“Tell me why Princess Lucy came to visit you .” I ordered , not bothering to waste any time on letting him know about my intentions .

All the b***d drained from his face at my words . He immediately looked away , his hands trembling as he picked up some files from the desk .

“You know I’m not at liberty to discuss any of my patients–” He started . I gripped his collar roughly and pulled him onto the table , not giving him a chance to continue the rest of that sentence .

“Don’t make me force it out of you doctor .” I threatened , glaring at him .

His eyes widened and he raised his hands in surrender .”S-she’s pregnant .” He blurted out .

Shock tore through me .

Lucy was pregnant ? When did they even have time too … it had to have happened when they were at the council .

This changed everything , I couldn’t have her coming back three months from now and yet again ruining my plans by bringing her baby .

I had no choice but to kill her now .

I mind linked Zagan . ‘ Bring her back to my territory .’

It was a good thing I had him tracking Lucy since she’d left Jeremy’s residence . As soon as we had her back in my territory , that was it , I would get rid of her for good .

………..

AUSTIN’S POV:

” You’re saying all of your feelings for Ariana just vanished ?” Maya asked in shock , looking at me as if I were mad for speaking such words .

I nodded , trying to stay calm and keep a clear mind from everything that had unfolded in just one day .

“How is that even possible ? ” My mother asked , leaning against my father for support .

“I’ve come to one conclusion … I had to have been under a spell .” I finally muttered , my body stiffening at my own words . ” It’s the only thing that makes sense to me .”

“And it had to be from Ariana .” Lucas concluded .” For if you were under a spell to make you believe she were your mate then what was her excuse for sticking around … she must have known you weren’t her mate all along .”

He was right . I had already thought about that , Ariana would have already known I wasn’t her mate and she didn’t mention a word to me which meant she was the one to put the spell on me .

But why ? I didn’t want to put any false accusations however , the only way to prove this were true was to visit an actual witch and have them confirm it for me .

If it were true however … my b***d boiled at that sickening thought , someone was definitely going to f*****g die .

Loud footsteps brought my attention to the doorway , my eyes falling on the two figures there .

“What is he doing here ?” I asked as James entered with Valerio , the young boy who had asked to join my pack after giving me information that Lucy was Alpha Richard’s son . James and I had discussed it after our return from the council , Valerio was to join his pack instead and the boy was happy with that decision so we had stuck with it . Now they looked like they had important information to give to me , I knew that look from James all too well and I was impatient to find out what they had for me .

My brother waited for the boy to speak but just like our last encounter he was afraid to say anything , especially after studying my rage . “Valerio isn’t just a werewolf … he’s a hybrid . ” He explained . ” His mother is a witch .”

I took a step closer to the boy at my brother’s words , if this were indeed true then he could give to me the confirmation I needed to hear .

“I sensed a spell on you the first time we’d met but I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t sure … my witch senses aren’t that strong yet . I didn’t want to point it out unless I was positive .” The boy finally willed himself to say , looking everywhere but at me .

I peered at the boy without actually seeing him , his words clawing at me and ripping me apart . Fire raced through my veins and fueled my anger at the clarity his words brought forward .

It was confirmed .

I was under a f*****g spell ?

All this time I stood up for Ariana thinking she was my mate , it was all for nothing ? All because I was under a f*****g spell ?

I lost Lucy over A f*****g SPELL ? My mind burned with images of the many times Lucy had hurt because of me foolishly taking Ariana’s side over hers .

All along Lucy was my mate and she had to stand there and watch me claim to love another , I couldn’t even begin to imagine the pain I’d put her through , it would have broken her heart into tiny pieces to see her own mate with someone else , the one person who was supposed to love and cherish her with everything within him , giving that love to someone else right in front of her . The hurt in her eyes that I’d put there on multiple occasions were haunting me now , killing me inside .

What had I done ?

I’d put my true mate , my true love through the worst pain possible … All because I couldn’t recognize that someone had f*****g messed with me and placed me under some God forsaken spell . How could I have not seen it ? All the signs were there , from the minute I’d laid eyes on Lucy I should have f*****g known that she was MINE .

I was a f*****g piece of s**t , I hated myself … I wanted to rip myself apart with the amount of self hatred racing through my veins now .

“WHAT HAVE I DONEEEEE –” I roared , my voice crazed and unrecognizable to my own ear . The guilt within me was eating at me raw , taking away the little sanity I had left within me after finding out Lucy had left me .

I fell to the ground as I let out another soul shattering roar of agony , I rose up and started pelting furniture throughout the room , smashing my fists against the glass tables . My brothers were immediately by my side , pulling me back and forcing me to stop harming myself . But I didn’t want to stop , seeing the b***d trickle down my hands was helping , the more I hurt myself for causing Lucy pain , the more would I feel at ease … but I knew nothing would fully cure me until I had gotten Lucy’s forgiveness for what I had done .

But would I get it ? For I wasn’t even worthy of forgiveness after what I’d done to her .

Was it too late to get back my mate ?

I didn’t know what it would take to get her back but I was willing to lay down my life if she asked that of me . But first , I was going to f*****g murder every single person responsible for putting this spell on me and separating me from the one person I couldn’t f*****g live without .

Fury lashed through my body like a whip , what was left of my sanity was now completely gone .

I WAS OUT FOR f*****g B***D!

LUCY’S POV :

I trembled in fear , I wasn’t sure what had happened … one minute I was on my way to my parent’s home and the next I had a bag over my head and was being dragged to Lord alone knows where . My hands were tied tightly behind a chair , the rope digging into my skin and I couldn’t see anything but blackness . My panic continued to rise as the seconds ticked by , fear for my baby’s life making it hard to concentrate on anything or think clearly for that matter . I cursed my luck , it seemed as though a single day couldn’t go by without my life being in danger , but things were a lot more serious now . I had a baby to protect and I was determined to kill anything or anyone that threatened my baby’s life .

I stiffened as sudden footsteps sounded a little distance away . I could hear multiple voices as well , they were getting closer by the second . How many kidnappers were there exactly ? The voices were becoming a lot clearer as the men neared me .

I froze upon hearing a new voice amongst them .

I knew that voice .

Before I had time to ponder more on my recent thought , the bag was roughly pulled out from around my face without warning . I blinked , my eyes adjusting to the bright light before focusing on the person in front of me . My b***d crawled at who I saw next .

“Hi Lucy .”
