The Alpha Prince's Abused Mate Chapter 108

WILLIAM

I paced outside the tent while Alana was being treated inside by the doctors. They told me the bleeding has stopped and her slow heart beat has turned back to normal but she is still unconscious and so they are conducting a few tests to determine the reason.

I instructed the head doctor to be pulled out of the treatment team of Alana but my mother assured me that he needs to be there. Apparently, he has the skills and I am going to swallow my pride in every way that I can to save Alana.

“I should not have done that,” I said in gritted teeth while walking around the tent. “I should have never done that plan. Shit, that was the dumbest thing I have ever done in my entire life!”

I sat on a log and palmed my own self in frustration, Alana’s blooded face is still very much fresh in my mind.

I think it would forever stay there for the rest of my life because I failed her again this time.

“What kind of a fucking mate I am to keep on hurting his own mate?” I muttered and clenched my hands on my lap.

If only I could barge inside and trade places with her, I would gladly do so.

“Don’t beat yourself up too much with it, William,” Francine said from behind me and took the seat next to me. “You did the right thing. You helped Alana complete herself. You know how frustrating and debilitating it is for someone like us to not shift into our true selves. That’s what you did to Alana. You helped her overcome the hurdles of meeting her wolf.”

My hands trembled in my lap so I had to clench them to feel my own skin because that image of Alana has been stuck in my head again.

How can I face her today knowing I am the one who caused her so much pain? If only I did not think so selfishly, then I would not have hurt her so much.

Who knows what damage I did with that forced connection I forged between us?

“She bled right after seeing me in my wolf form, Francine. And then she shifted back into her human form as if she can’t bear the sight of me.”

I caught my breath when the memory struck a deep pain inside me.

“I took her in my arms but even that is hurting her more than giving her the relief that she should find in her own mate. I am a useless man for her, Francine. I can’t even find the cure to our allergic reaction to each other!”

I was so fucking frustrated and disappointed to myself because I have been looking for months now for something that would cure us but I found nothing. All those guarding the borders and business trips I took were used to scour the whole world for answers but I found nothing.

I found nothing and now I feel immensely useless and nothing.

Francine cupped my face and caught my disturbed eyes.

“You are the alpha prince, William. You are going to be the next alpha king in the pack. If you can’t even protect your own mate and scare the mongrels away, then are you really worthy to be the leader of the werewolves who looked up to you? Don't stop now. You have the biggest shoes to fill. The alpha king-ship is not just some throne that humans pass to their kins easily. You have to earn it. you have to make them see that you are their alpha. You are not some scaredy omega, William. Have you forgotten? You have been living your whole life to have it! You prepared your whole life for this!”

“But should I risk hurting Alana again? Who knows what could happen to her if I continue experimenting with our connection?” I asked, doubting myself again.

I cannot bear the thought of seeing her hurt. Goodness, I would die seeing her in the same situation again!

She arched her brows at me not really liking what I just said. “So, will you stop now? Is this where this is going to end for the two of you, William? Do you plan on rejecting Alana this time?”

“Fucking bloody hell no!” I exclaimed and stood up. “That would never happen, Francine. I have waited for my mate my entire life. Now that I found her and felt the deepest and most genuine bond with!”

She smiled at me before smacking my head with her fist. “At least you’ve got some sense in you. You will have to need lots of that since Lucas knows Francine. He knows the frail thread between me and Alana.”

My gaze drooped down when I heard that. So, the photo I found in his room was there for a reason.

“Are you going to just stand here outside while he is there waiting for your mate to wake up?”

I straightened my back immediately. “I should go now.”

“Thank you, Francine, for always putting sense in my head.”

“Well, that’s my job. My hundred years in this world will always be put into good use with you.”

“I will never leave Alana. We will always be together no matter what happens,” I said with conviction.

That must have pleased her so much because she laughed loudly and tapped my head a little too hard. “That’s my boy. Now go and get your girl.”

I nodded and took big steps and entered the tent where Lucas is standing next to the bed where Alana is still lying unconscious.

He felt my presence and bowed before me. “Alpha prince.”

“Lucas, you can leave. I will take it from here.”

He blinked but shook his head in defiance. “But alpha prince, Alana will only be in pain once again if you touch her. It will be more beneficial for the both of you if I will be the one to be here.”

I felt acid rising to my throat but I kept my cool despite him overstepping his boundaries as my beta.

“Lucas, how did you know what’s going to be the best for the two of us? Alana is my mate. She is my woman and I am her man. She is my responsibility. I should take care of her. Now, I will ask you to leave. I can take care of her on my own.”

We stood there in front of each other, dark eyes intently staring at each other. In the end, he bowed his head and nodded.

“Yes, alpha prince.”
