The Prince's Abused Mate
The Prince’s Abused Mate – Chapter 50

Amara Pov

Ahyan and I are on a boat, chatting while he teaches me how to paddle,

” Carefully, we’ll fall in,” He warns gently, I start to splash water on him, he gasps and I smile, doing it again and again until he’s half soaked.

” Okay, missy! Now you’ve done it!” He says darkly, hitting the water and splashing me in the process. We are now hitting the water and laughing at how silly we are when the boat capsizes.

” This is your fault!” I say, emerging from the water,

” It is your fault baby, I swim to him and wrap my arms around his neck and k**s him deeply. The day at the cabins is incredible, I love that we can enjoy moments like this.

We leave the water to go inside, I change into a sundance dress while he wears his shorts and T-shirt, he looks hot as usual.

‘ I see why Farah is after him.’

I only shake my head at the wolf’s comment, and about Farah, she’s staying as Lyon’s companion. I voiced my negative opinion but oh well…

After lunch I decide to have some best friend time with Happy and Sophie, we are sitting by the lake with each a beer in hand and chatting about our lives,

” Brian is my mystery guy,” Happy smiles, blushing. But Sophie and I already knew but we fudge innocence.

” OOOH, Wow, that’s great!”

” But you already knew,” He mumbles, crossing his feet and taking a sip of his cold beer. We talk about everything and laugh when suddenly the boys launch a water balloon fight at us, I yelp and get to my feet when Jay hits me in the head, I glare at him playfully but he laughs and hits me, water splashing on my face.

” No, you didn’t!” I run to the nearest bucket that holds several water balloons and starts throwing them at the boys, I’m receiving attacks left and right, our echos of laughter are what can be heard for miles and I feel arms circle my waist from behind, and he twirls me, I abruptly turn and hug him, the guys decide to throw everything at us and I hide in my mate’s chest.

” Let’s get them, babe,” He whispers in my ear. As the fun and games continue, I notice Farah has suddenly just left, serious she’s such an attention seeker. Getting a bit hungry, I grab a hotdog that Brian was making not far from us, he wants to be a master chef so he’s always cooking or braising.

” So goodddd, thanks Brian,” I m**n with a full mouth and quickly finish before the others come here, I go back to the group and join the games, the boys are playing music and the party is in full swing. I get to the nearest water bullet gun, and point at Sophie, she screams and runs away but I chase her into the woods laughing while she takes tries to take shots at me but I dodge as I’m swift and faster on my legs than her.

After we run out of water bullets, we both surrender and go back when we hear whispers, I squint my eyes and follow the voices. Sophie follows, complaining.

Farah Pov

We are all having fun when Amara throws a shady comment at me about pretenses, I grab my water balloon tightly in my hand and I’m tempted to put stones and throw it at her but I know better.

” Watch out, biaatch,” Smirks Sophie, throwing a balloon right in my face. She threw it with so much strength that I fall to the ground. STUPID CUNT!

She stands over me and smiles ” Ooops, sorry. Werewolf strength,”

I close my eyes and smile, showing her a thumps up to show it’s alright, but I’m boiling with anger on the inside. I know that girl is a b***h and has never liked me since the beginning.

Sophie keeps making bitchy comments and Amara is laughing on the side. I glance at Ahyan and see something that resembles pity in his obsidian gaze, great. Those two being bitches to me will help me massive. I dodge the balloons being aimed at me and run into the woods, I can hear the echo of their laughter as they play and chase each other. Please look here, please do. I gasp when Ahyan looks at me in a distance and I wipe fake tears from my eyes, I go into a hidden bush and stand there, crying.

I feel his scent surround me and I quickly wipe my tears and smile

” Hi,” I chime, keeping my voice hoarse but soft.

” Are you alright?” He asks, he seems unsure to approach but does. I smile weakly at him and begin to issue an apology, assuring him that I meant no harm.

Our conversation seems to flow naturally and freely actually, Ahyan is always so cold towards me so I thought it will be awkward but it’s not. We talk about Amara, and he asks that I give her time and she might come around. I nod vigorously but I don’t care about that girl, I only want him, I will get his trust.

” She hates me and why wouldn’t she? She thinks I’m here to steal you from her,”

He chuckles a little and shakes his head

” No one can steal me from her, she has my whole heart and soul,” I feel like someone has stabbed me in the chest with a dragon’s scale. My demon almost surfaces to claim him but I tame her

‘ Easy, baby steps,’ I soothe.

” Prince Ahyan, I’m sorry I came to you under pretenses, I was just curious,” I give him my best sad smile, but still make sure to look cute.

” We all at one point make mistakes,” He shrugs, knowing better because of what he did to Amara.

” So… Are you going home to your clan?” He questions

” Yes, but in three months or so, I have a dance competition coming up, can’t bail,”

I lie, there is a competition but I’m not interested in it. He nods and turns to leave but I stop him when I sense Amara and Sophie, when I came to this part of the forest, I did some magic to numb all the scents.

” Um, thank you for coming to check on me,” I say.

” Amara!”

I smile inwardly, good. Things are about to get interesting now. I just need Amara to find us in a compromising situation to drive her away from Ahyan completely.

AMARA POV

My b***d boils when I see my mate talking to Farah. They are not standing close but still, it looks like Farah was crying. My claws elongate and dig into the skin on my wrist, drawing b***d. They are engrossed in a conversation to even notice us watching.

” b***h, I’ll kill her,” Mutters Sophie, she wants to tear her head off and so do I. My wolf wince and I turn abruptly, making the leaves beneath me make sounds

” Amara,” I hear Ahyan calls while a stupid gasp escapes from that b***h’s lips. I flinch when he grabs my hand, stopping me from walking any further. I abruptly turn around to face him. He looks taken back by the anger in my eyes and he swallows

” Babe, I saw her crying and just thought I should talk to her,”

I snort and turn my gaze to Farah, she faces the ground, guilt taking over her face.

” Gosh Ahyan, this is what she wants, I’m sure in her little mind, she wants to create a rift between you and Amara,” Sophie says sharply, Farah shakes her head violently and tears are already building up in her eyes, has she always been this annoying?

” No, I’d never, I wasn’t feeling too well and I didn’t know Ahyan noticed and followed me,”

I repress a growl, not wanting her to see my insecurity. I smile at her and look at my mate

” Yep, my baby is very observant and besides, you are his best friend’s woman so… he has to worry when he sees you in distress,” I say, venom dripping off my words but still able to smile.

” No, um Lyon and I are not together,”

” But you are f*****g him,” Quickly adds Sophie with an evil chuckle. Farah just frowns and I swear I saw her roll her eyes.

” Let’s go,” Sophie moves past Farah and bumps her shoulder, I smile at that. THAT’S MY BESTY.

We go back to the crew, Ahyan is eyeing me like a bee but I pay him no attention, I grab my phone and call Lulu, she is happy to hear from me and we talk a little, she tells me that the Princes and her went to the show ground and they had the best time.

” I’m sure you enjoyed it plus your crush likes youuuu,” I tease. I hear her exhale,

” What is it, baby?” I ask gently.

” Well, Axel is confusing!” She confesses. I furrow my eyebrow in interest and ask

” How so?”

” Okay, he’s always cold towards me but gentle in the times I least expect and so protective yet distant but Prince Liam, is different, he’s sweet, gentle, and holds my hand,”

” So you like Liam,” I squint my eyes.

” I don’t know! Yes, but I like grumpy Axel too,” She admits.

” And your wolf?”

” She’s conflicted too,”

Lulu screams in exasperation, and I feel bad for her, isn’t she too young to have all these unsettling feelings? I just want her to be a kid and enjoy life without worry

” Breath baby, breath… Do what your heart is telling you to, and just live your life,” I advise. We chat and say our good night, I sigh and watch the river a while longer, the water is shining and looks shallow under the moonlight, I glance back to where my friends are, they are sitting around a fire and drinking. Everyone seems happy, and satisfied. I stiffen when I feel her behind me.

” Amara,” Farah’s voice is annoyingly small. I turn around to face her, I just continue staring at the water

” I’m sorry, your hatred for me really hurts and about today, I didn’t mean to cause you and your boyfriend trouble,”

I snort and turn to her this time, keeping my voice calm as I speak

” Sweetie don’t give yourself too much credit, you’ll never, ever cause trouble for us, so whatever, you are planning will never succeed,” I tell her firmly, her eyes shine and I narrow my gaze at her, did her demon side just try to surface.

” I’m not planning anything, please believe me,”

” Good, I don’t want you as a friend and I especially don’t like you near my friends too, so after this trip, stay away from us,” I hiss and push past her.

I go to the group, hearing the stories, I avoid Ahyan the whole time, but unfortunately, I can’t avoid him as we share the same room. Once my mate closes the door behind him, he sighs audibly.

” Amara, baby,” I only look up at him, he circles his arms around my waist and k****s my forehead.

” I want to bath,” I sigh, he smirks and licks his delicious lips, making me gulp. His fingers are gently caressing my forearm

” I have some ideas for a relaxing bath, I can show you,” I detach from him and go to the closet. He suddenly appears behind me and slowly removes my dress. He k****s down my neck, our breathing is now heavy, as my core begins to throb.

” Are you mad at me?” His voice is sultry. I don’t want Ahyan to think of me as an insecure girlfriend so I shake my head

” Why would I?” The tone of my voice betrayed me.

” You are,”

I turn around to face him, “I don’t want her close to you, she’s trouble, I can feel it,”

” We are not close, today was the first time we’ve had a conversation,” He says, I sigh ” And since when do you bully people,”

” She’s not just any people! and when do you feel bad for her?” I furrow my eyebrows.

” I just don’t know you to be like this Amara,”

” Because I’m not! Ahyan, don’t mess this up, us. I know you and your antics”

He scoffs and tugs his hair, he looks upset and hurt.

” Will I ever trust me? Will you ever stop living at the edge and just waiting for me to fail?” He shouts. I open my mouth to speak but I can’t find the words.

” I – I do trust you, I just … Ahyan, it’s hard to trust you!” I yell, getting it off my chest, I’m breathing heavily and tears gather in my eyes. I want to trust him but I see them, all these girls he’s been with, the life he lived before me and it’s like I’m taking that away from him, I get scared he will start to resent me. He is looking at me like an injured animal, so many emotions on his face, anger, hurt, disappointment, name it. My wolf whimpers, I try to go to him but he takes a step back

” I- ‘ll run for a while,”

” Ahyan, no stop,” But the door closes and I fall on the carpet, hugging my legs.
