The Prince's Abused Mate
The Prince’s Abused Mate – Chapter 7

After school, I go to work since it’s Thursday.

The restaurant is elegant and prestigious and they have a good reputation. The boss is a woman of the council and his son, Lyon, one of Prince Ahyan’s best friends.

The marble floors are very clean that you can see your reflection in them, and the glasses make it so that we can see what is happening outside.

They have the best chefs that make delicious food and all type is cuisines.

I greet a few co-workers before heading to the bathroom.

I take off my clothes and look into the mirror, I sigh. I don’t hate my body but I don’t like the attention it gets me, it makes me an easy target to men and is very hard to ignore that’s why I’m always wearing oversized clothing.

The door to the bathroom opens, I hear footsteps approach and Immediately lock the door, not wanting anyone to see some thin visible scars. Someone is turning the doorknob so I holler.

” I’m undressed,”

” So?” I recognize the annoying voice.

Sandra is the manager, she is a tall Korean woman and is pretty, she doesn’t smile often and always keeps her hair in a tight bun.

The lady runs a tight ship. Despite her young age, everyone has so much respect for her, and does as she says without question.

” Whatever, I’ve brought you the new uniform,” she sighs and I hear her leave. I unlock the door and get the new uniform.

It is a pink skirt that reaches mid-thigh and a sleeveless shirt and high heels.

” No, no I’m not wearing this. It’s too sexy,” I whisper to myself.

‘ try it on,’ my wolf Rhudo insists. I shrug and wear it. It looks really good on me but it shows all my curves so Nah. Plus I can see some white thin lines on my arms from when my sisters hit me with a cord for ‘ trying to seduce their boyfriend,’ which was untrue. The man grabbed my a*s and I punched him and when Lisa came, he twisted the whole thing and made it look like I was throwing myself on him!

I wear my old uniform and step out of the changing room with a forced smile as we should always smile and greet customers.

As soon as I step out, I’m met with customers who are very polite to me.

The restaurant is busy and the chefs are doing their best to make sure they make the best meals.

When it’s 5 pm, I get off work to go home. I’m in a hurry to go there because I know my baby sister has knocked off two hours ago. Ten minutes later, I’m in front of the gate. I punch in some codes and, it opens for me.

My sister is already on the veranda, sitting on the couch with her dolls. She looks up and smiles in my direction. I open my arms as she runs and jumps in them.

” I missed you today, Lulu. Sorry, I didn’t pick you up,” I say in her ear. She pulls away and I caress her blonde ponytails.

” It’s fine, dad did,” she Informs me. I’m surprised. I hold her hand as we go inside.

That’s a first. I only change my clothes and go to the kitchen to start dinner since both maids knocked off as soon as they saw me. The rest of the family is not eating with us.

I make spaghetti and meatballs and when it’s done, I call her.

” Lushomo! Food Is ready!” She is watching Encanto for the tenth time so I have to go and get her. I carry her on my shoulder while she giggles and squirms.

” Just five minutes, please,”

” You’re so heavy,” I complain when I sit her down. She smiles.

” I’m nine! I eat a lot,”

I make sure I do all my chores early and get lulu ready. I take her to her bath. She loves the water so we spend about thirty minutes In her bathroom. She was only five when mom died and I’ve taken care of her since. It’s the one thing in this world I enjoy doing other than playing the flute.

I tuck her in bed and place a k**s on her forehead

” Goodnight baby,”

” Nighty sis,” she says groggily.

After an exhausting day, I go into the shower, I feel so much better as the warm water hit my body. I wash my hair thoroughly so that I don’t do it tomorrow. I love my hair, it’s thick and silky. I close my eyes and let my mind drift to him, the dragon prince. He was so gentle for the first time today and I can still feel his warmth all over my skin, his eyes on my lips made me want to k**s him. Damn, he has nice lips.

My wolf Is howling and being giddy at the thought of Ahyan Altamonte. He is perfect. Every muscle on his body is just hot… Argh!

Getting out of the shower, I wipe my body with a fluffy towel and get out of my bathroom. I wear my nightdress and get under the covers. I see him in my dreams and damn, he makes me so so horny and wet. I open my eyes and sit upright, calming my breath. I drink some water before closing my eyes again.

I close my eyes and drift to sleep again, red eyes and fangs keep invading my dreams, it’s all a blur.

I wake up when someone pours a bucket of water on my bed, I sigh, at least it’s not ice-cold today like last week.

I look at my sister and scowl, Lisa has a grimace on her face. She hates me more than Dad and Alice. It has always been even before mom passed except she hid it well back then.

She always accused me of taking her mother’s love from them. Mom didn’t hide that I was adopted, it was Lisa who told me on my seventh birthday, I remember crying as she was telling me but she didn’t care. Mother found her telling me awful things and she slapped her across the face.

” I hate you little brat, you should have died!” She screamed before running out of my bedroom. My days were gloomy after that and mom took time to explain that it doesn’t change her love for me and that in her heart, I’m truly her daughter.

Drops of water over my head bring me back to reality.

” Why did you do that?” I cry as I get out of bed.

” Sleeping in today? Get up and get Lulu ready for school. She is screaming and throwing shoes at anyone who enters her room,”

she says and turns on her heel to leave. I sigh and without changing from my dress, I rush to Lulu’s room. I slowly open the door and peek my head in. She is already dressed in her shorts and white shirt since today is Physical education at their school. She is holding a white teddy bear. She smiles widely at me.

” Good morning!”

I smile back and enter her princess’ room. It is large, princess-style, and very bright.

” Good morning, princess Lushomo,”

I ruffle her hair but she snorts and swats my hand away.

” can I do braids?” she asks, I nod and take her Into her closet, where I do french braids. We head down for breakfast. While I leave the chefs to make her anything of her choice, I rush back to change so that I can take her to school today. I change into sweatpants, a white t-shirt, and sneakers.

The little princess is done with breakfast and we walk to school hand in hand since it’s only fifteen minutes walk from here.

” Why didn’t you want the driver to take you?” I ask softly. she shrugs

” I just wanted you to and since you can’t drive, we’ll walk,”

She seems happy about this. I nod and we chat about everything when a black Camaro suddenly stops next to us, the windows are tainted black so we can’t see who is in.

I look around a bit panicked. I sigh when I realize two policemen are patrolling as usual since this is a high-class neighborhood so folks here pay extra for security even though we don’t need it.

We walk to the other lane but the car follows us, my sister is busy with her story to notice.

I grab her hand so tightly that she winces

” Ouch Mara, you’re hurting my hand,”

” Sorry, can we walk faster, you’re late,”

The car is moving at a slow pace, I’m about to call the police when a soft voice speaks from the car.

” Princess is all grown up now,”

I freeze in my tracks. My sister is trying to make me move but my legs won’t seem to respond.

My heart is pounding so loudly, it can’t be.
