The Prince's Abused Mate
The Prince’s Abused Mate – Chapter 45

Jay Pov

I’m in one of my luxurious penthouses in the city, relaxing with Lyon as he tells me about the pool party we were invited to however, I’m not in the mood to party today as we had so much to drink last night and the cops almost busted us.

” Sir, do you need anything?” My butler asks.

” Can I have more meat and wine?” Asks Lyon,

” Of course, sir,”

A few minutes later, we finished eating. I sigh and get up to check on my phone, mom has been calling me but I’ll call her back later. She probably just wants to know if I’ve had my dinner yet or when I’m visiting home, so needy.

I browse through my social media and a picture of my mate appears on my timeline on my social profiles, and I save the one she was alone. It says here she went out to watch a movie with her friends. I run my fingers through my hair. This has to stop, my mind needs to erase all images of her but how can that happen when I see her even in my dreams. My wolf is yearning for her, wanting her. My mind is being taunted by her sweet giggles and lovely face. How I’d like to run my fingers into her brown curly hair.

I go into the main room, and straight to the minibar to grab a bottle of bourbon and throw myself on the couch. I gulp the liquid in the bottle selfishly even though it burns my throat.

“What’s up with you. You’re acting strange,” Lyon eyes me suspiciously. How do I even begin to tell him that I have found my mate but she’s someone I can’t have at least not for another three years!

I never really cared much about mates before so I didn’t think about it, I didn’t even know I would be blessed with one.

I continue drinking.

” Should we call Ahyan and Cole, I feel like we haven’t been seeing them lately,” Lyon says, getting the bottle from my hand and taking a gulp.

Those two are busy with their women, It’s a good thing that Ahyan is spending time with Amara because we don’t know how long it will last, as if reading my thoughts, Lyon asks,

” Do you think Ahyan told his girl about what the council is suggesting?”

” No, I told him to tell her because if she hears it from someone else, she’ll take it as a betrayal,”

The council wants peace between the Dragons and demons by uniting some Princess with a powerful Dragon Prince, Ahyan. He has a high status and once the two are engaged, no one will dare lunge or make the first move for war. The council is trying, by all means, to prevent war because of the consequences and devastating unbalance among the realms.

” Why Ahyan, though?”

” He’s a Prince, popular among races. He grew up amongst the werewolf community, they view him as some symbol of peace dah dah dah, I couldn’t keep up when my father was explaining,” I sigh, going back in my thoughts about my mate. A smile stretches on my lips, she’s so perfect.

I laugh without humor, damn, moon goddess did me badly, was I that terrible? How could I accept her, she doesn’t even know that she’s mine but my feelings for her intensify every day. I often mocked Ahyan for his feeling towards Amara but now I understand him and I feel sorry for him that he may be forced to leave his mate because of his duty to the realms.

Lyon’s phone rings and I notice he’s reluctant to pick it up,

” Hello,” He finally answers. He gets up immediately, looking panicked.

” Okay, Ohan, I’ll meet you at the hospital in five minutes,” He instructs his young brother who sounds agitated over the phone. I get up too.

” What is it?”

” Mom overdosed, again,”

I grab my jacket and rush to the elevator, Lyon is glaring at the floor, his hands clutched into a fist, and anger is radiating off of him. I place a hand on his shoulder

” She’ll be fine,”

” Jay, it’s my brother who found her,” He says quietly, his mother has issues with pills and tends to overdose. Mr. Sobong is always away on his business trips and rumor has it that he takes mistresses and his wife doesn’t take kindly it. Once on the ground floor, we get in his Lamborghini truck and I drive to the hospital, seeing as he’s in no state to drive.

In a few minutes, we reach the hospital, one of the female receptionists at the front desk directs us to the fifth floor of the Vip room, taking this chance to slip a small piece of paper into my coat pocket

” See you soon, handsome,” She winks.

The fifth floor is a secluded area with only a few nurses and doctors making rounds, we easily spot Ohan sitting next to their butler and two servants. Ohan immediately goes to his brother’s son, hugging him.

” Mr. Sobong, thank you for coming,” A middle-aged servant says, her eyes are teary.

” She’s my mother,” He retorts, annoyed.

” Hey, kid, we can go to the cafeteria for a latte if you want,” I offer Ohan, he is too young to hear about his mother’s drug problems. He looks at the door in front of him and shakes his head

” I want to hear what the doctor says,”

Ohan is thirteen years old and way too intelligent for his age. Lyon nods and starts to pace around the waiting area. Minutes later, we all get up from the sofas when the door opens. The family doctor approaches us.

” We have pumped the pills out, luckily, someone found her in time and called us,” He says, looking at Ohan who feels proud of himself and his brother ruffles his hair.

” However, she has to stay for a few nights for further observation and you can see her,” He informs us before exiting. The brothers go into the room and just when I’m about to follow, a sweet scent hits me like a f.ucking truck, and my wolf purrs like a puppy,

‘ minha linda garota,’ translation; ( my beautiful girl)

I look around for my Princess and she appears, walking beside her twin brother and Ahyan.

I freeze as I stare at her walk, and at this moment, everything is in slow motion. I get out of my trance when I feel sparks erupt on my skin and I look at her.

” Jay, where is Ohan?” She asks in that sweet soft voice of hers, I find myself smiling and caressing her warm cheek in a friendly way.

” He’s gone in to see his mother, How did you guys know,” I inform and ask her. She nods and looks over to the servants who bow to her.

” Ohan told Liam half an hour ago, and lucky for us, brother was coming here,”

I nod and face my best friend, he’s looking at the closed door in front of us, worried about Lyon too. Lyon acts tough and strong but he does really worry about the welfare of his family and it affects him a lot, both mentally and emotionally.

We all go into the room as it is big enough to accommodate us, Aunt Amanda is smiling and bugging her sons to sneak in some wine. Her eyes lit up when she sees us. While Princess Venice and Liam rush to their friend’s side near the tall window, Ahyan and I go closer to the bed and each k**s her on the cheek.

” There are my boys! Talk to Lyon, he has forbidden my ladies to bring my favorite wine,” She fakes annoyance.

I smile and hold her hand

” How are you feeling?” Her joyful face falls and her eyes look at Lyon who is still frowning in the corner,

” I’m well, thank you for visiting me,”

We stay a while longer with them, Ohan and Venice are dangerously close on the couch and I let out a low jealous growl. As if sensing my discomfort, she moves away and comes to sit next to me.

” I’m sleepy,” She sighs, leaning in closer to me, her soft hands on my right arm.

I sniff her hair, it smells like strawberries. Ahyan growls lowly and I dare meet his gaze.

‘ Why did you smell my sister?’ He asks through the mind link, his voice is angry.

‘ I didn’t… I was just trying to be comfortable,’ I explain as best as the lie could come out but he doesn’t believe me. Prince Ahyan is no fool and lately, he suspects something is up with me.

We don’t exchange anymore

” Vee, Liam it’s almost midnight and we should be leaving,” He says, Aunt Amanda has fallen asleep, and Ohan is dozing every other minute.

” Can you guys go with Ohan to the castle? I’ll send someone to get him tomorrow,” Lyon tells Ahyan who nods

” Alright, Jay make sure you go straight home to get some rest as soon as the servants come,” He orders. In times like this, Lyon likes to drink just to forget. He snarls and looks out the window into the glowing night skies.

I watch as they exit the room, my Princess glancing at me one last time. I smirk and I see her cheeks turn red before looking away. I smile at her embarrassment, she’s so damn pretty.

” Bro, why did you look at her like that, you know she’s only thirteen, right?” Lyon says sternly. I get up and walk towards the tall window, looking at the tall skyscrapers. Not until long ago, I only saw her as an annoying yet sweet little sister and now, I find out she’s my soulmate and in my eyes, she’s like a goddess, just like the meaning of her name in Latin; Goddess of beauty and love.

” Jay-“

” She’s just like my sister and it will stay that way,”
