The Prince's Abused Mate
The Prince’s Abused Mate – Chapter 14

The party is going well and most of them are drunk already, considering it takes a lot to get drunk but yep, they are. I glance over at Happy, he is enjoying himself and chatting with Brian. They seem to get along well.

I smile. Prince Ahyan is interacting and laughing with his friends not far from us. Sophie is with me. She is friendly and funny, I’ve learned that she is seventeen years old and an exchange student from our sister pack in Italy. She needed a breather from her parents as they are too controlling and always making decisions for her and she recently broke up with her boyfriend.

” So I’ll stay here for a while until I’m ready to go back,” she glances over at Cole who’s laughing with his friends, and adds,

” I think I’ll like it here…I think I like him,”

Sophie is drinking and shaking my body so that I can dance but all I do is move my h**s slightly.

We laugh and she asks seriously,

” Amara, can you be my friend, I don’t have any that’s why I’m always around Cole and his friends,”

” Sure!” I say happily, I only have one friend now I have two. We hug and celebrate with more shots. I look over my shoulder to Prince Ahyan and our eyes meet for a brief second, he smiles and raises a glass to me. A blush crosses my face as my body feels hot and I immediately look away in embarrassment.

” You like him,” Sophie sings, I nudge her and shake my head but it’s useless as I’m blushing profusely.

” Well, look who’s here,” I close my eyes at the sound of Debra’s voice. I brace myself and turn to face her confidently. She has a grimace on her face as she stares right at me.

” Debra,” I say meekly.

” Don’t even call my name using that disgusting mouth of you, boyfriend snatcher!” She hisses. My chest is rising and down as my wolf lowly growls at her. I have always hated confrontations. Before I can deny her accusation, Sophie cuts me with her laugh. It’s short and sick.

” Excuse me, from what I know, he made it clear you’re not together last time in the cafeteria, girl, he doesn’t want you, have some dignity and crawl away,” she barks.

Debra takes a deep breath and speaks,

” I see little Amara bought herself a speaker, now newbie, know your place, and Ahyan will come back to me after he’s done,” she says and adds ” he is mine, he always comes back,”

” Girl bye!” Sophie dismisses Debra with the wave of her hand. She was so confident and unafraid as she talked. I wish I was like that.

She smiles and links her arm to mine, ” let’s go, smells like skanks here,”

She pulls me in the direction of prince Ahyan, but I shake my head, she g****s and drags me to them.

My heart is beating fast as I stand next to the prince. Ahyan smiles at me, and instantly, I feel at ease. He puts it on my shoulder.

” Are you okay?” He asks in my ear. I nod and smile.

The rest of the night goes exceptionally well and I ignore all the pointed looks thrown my way.

I check on my wristwatch and it’s 3 am, I need to go and rest so I should get up early since from what I hear, the Rodriguez family is staying with us for a few days.

” Prince Ahyan, I should go now,” I say softly

He looks up to me,

” I’ll drive you home,”

” You don’t have to, I can call a taxi,”

” I insist, please allow me,” I nod and we bid goodbye to all of them. I go to the booth where Happy and Brian are, I k**s my best friend goodnight and he gives Prince Ahyan a stinky eye.

” Take care of her,” prince Ahyan just nods.

As we walk to the car, he has his hand on my lower back. It is not too tight but is there and it makes me feel special.

Once in his black Maserati, he buckles my seatbelt for me and while doing that, our faces are so close, that my wolf is howling happily at this proximity. He is looking into my eyes and he tucks a strand of hair behind my ear as he closely leans in, if I moved even an inch, our lips would touch.

A honking of the car behind us tears us apart, Ahyan clears his throat lightly and he properly gets situated before driving. The drive is calm and we don’t talk but it’s comfortable and warm. He smells really good, like peaches and wildflowers.

Minutes later we are in front of my gate

We both let out a sigh and begin to talk at the same time,

” Prince-“

” Amara-” we chuckle,

” Ladies first,”

” Prince Ahyan, thank you, I had a good time,”

” Call me, Ahyan please,” I nod

” Ahyan,” I practice, everyone uses his title except his family and friends.

” You should get some rest, ” he says, as I open the door, he grabs my arms and turns my body to him, I don’t know how but we are close and I can feel his breath on me as k****s me near my lips then shoulder. His lips lingered a bit longer while my eyes bulged and my heartbeat accelerated.

My fingers fly to caress the part he kissed. He has a knowing smile on his lips and without any words, I rush out of the car and run into my home without looking back. I carefully climb upstairs and open my room. I throw myself on my bed and heave heavily. A smile appears on my lips as I think about his sweet k****s, my fingers tracing where he kissed. I close my eyes as erotic images invade my mind.

The following morning is Saturday, and I woke up early to help the maids prepare for the day, I’m In a good mood so not even Alice or Lisa’s Insults will change that.

For breakfast, we prepare a full English breakfast and put it on the table. I wake my little sister and together we go downstairs while she tells me about the dream she had today.

We meet the family there, Veronica is sitting elegantly in her royal blue dress, she looks like she did a full facial glam just for breakfast. She smiles at us and opens her arms for my sister who looks up to me, when I nod, she goes to her and hugs her gently.

” How was your night?” She asks while caressing her hair. They exchange words and dad next to her is smiling. However, his expression changes into a frown as his eyes meet mine, dad doesn’t hide his disdain for me. As we sit down to eat, the twins are bickering about something while dad and Veronica are chatting about their wedding. I notice Jerry is absent and thank goddess. I hate how he hungrily looks at me.

When breakfast is done, I clean stand to clean up but Veronica stops me,

” Why are you doing that? We have servants,” she turns to my dad and asks,

” Why do you allow her to work? It seems her two sisters don’t like her too, what kind of home do you run here, Rich?”

The air is suddenly tense around here and no-one utters a word.

Dad puts a hand over hers but she shakes her head,

” Richard, I refuse to be part of a family that treats an innocent girl horribly because of what she couldn’t control years ago,” she hisses. So, she knows about what happened to mom

My father looks dumbfounded,

” You know?”.

” Of course, I did my research about you when we started working together,”

The two adults excuse themselves as they go to talk privately,

” God, why didn’t those rogues just kill you,” sighs Lisa In a disgusted tone. She says mean things to me but this one always stings and I blink my tears away.

” You’re so mean to Amara! I hate you!” Lushomo shouts before running upstairs, crying.

I follow her to comfort her. She is lying on her bed and furious tears are dropping down on her pillow, I sit on the edge and caress her hair softly,

” Do you want to watch Encanto again?” I ask

” No, you don’t even like it,” she croaks.

I smile, I do but I’ve watched it so many times and now, I can’t seem to get the Bruno song out of my head.

A few minutes later, I get in bed with her and we end up falling asleep.
