The Alpha Prince's Abused Mate Chapter 138
ARIA
“This would be your room, lady.”
The attendant of the alpha prince said after she opened the biggest room I have ever seen and motioned me to get inside.
After entrusting me to the lady, the alpha prince left with Lucas in a hurry after they received the call.
I can still hear the panic in their voices when they hear about it.
“I would not be staying with the alpha princes’ room?”
The lady’s mouth literally fell open hearing that as she shook her head repeatedly. “No, Ms. Aria. That would not be plausible since the alpha prince is already married.”
I straightened my back and met her condescending eyes. “I know but still he brought me here to the palace. I know what’s happening between the couple. Their relationship is already on the rocks now. I will be the one to make the alpha prince happy which is something that his current wife cannot make him.”
The attendant can only blink her eyes at my audacity to say that. “Just a word of advice, Aria. The wife of the alpha prince is a very feisty and evil woman. If I were you, I would shut my mouth up and just go with the flow. I will not dare to challenge Lady Sophia because she could make your life a living hell.”
But I was not fazed by that. Instead of succumbing to those threats, I only raised my head higher. “The alpha prince is on my side. Nothing and no one can hurt me when I have the next alpha king to shield me.”
She just stared at me and nodded as she slowly walked to the door and left me alone in the room. Sighing, I sat on the bed and looked around.
I felt nothing in the room. This is the only place in the palace that felt like a strange place to be in so I don’t want to dwell in here.
It would be better to be in William’s room so I could always be there. I could also think of an easier way to execute my plan.
I stood up and stared out at the view outside.
The palace is such a view to behold. It screams of power and wealth that a lycan like me can only dream of.
I am aware of the history of how the werewolves killed the former alpha king and seized the power savagely.
And now, they are hunting us again.
“But I was given the biggest break to know the weak points of the current alpha king.” I clenched my hands when I recalled the image of the alpha king from the portrait in the hallway.
That is the face of the serial murderer who kept on killing my kind. And that is the face of the man who will weep for eternity after I kill his only son.
“I swear I will take the only heir you have, alpha king,” I muttered against my lip. “I will make you feel the same thing that widows and mothers felt when you steal their spouses and children from them forever,” I swore and touched the vial of poison in my pocket.
After I know why everything feels so familiar in the palace, after I get the explanation why I am so attracted to the alpha prince, I will kill him and leave this place weeping for their prince.
I took a bath and adorned myself with an elegant dress and a veil from the closet full of clothes for me. The attendant informed me that the alpha prince bought it all for me.
“Well, it might be a good thing to be his whore,” I said to myself while looking at my appearance in the mirror. “You will enjoy the perks.”
I left the room and loitered around the palace to satisfy my curiosity while also hiding myself from the curious eyes of the palace.
“Goddamn thing, why do I feel like I’ve been here before, that I lived here now,” I whispered to myself while in front of a giant painting in the hallway.
I touched the frame of the painting and closed my eyes as it brought tears in my eyes. There is no indication of the person who painted this. I felt a very strong connection with it as if… as if I am the one who made it.
The painting’s subject is a couple sitting in front of the lake watching the sunset beyond the horizons.
My heart ached and I had to breathe so many times just to make my breathing stable.
Is this why the lake is so familiar to me? Who is the artist who painted this painting? Why does it feel like I am the one who made this?
“It’s impossible,” I said when my voice broke. “This is impossible.”
“Impossible!” shouted the woman from my back going my way with countless attendants following her from her back. “This is impossible! The alpha prince cannot do this to me! He cannot bring a prostitute into the palace just to embarrass me!”
They walked past me, not really sensing my presence since they were all too stimulated by the panic in the woman’s voice.
“Lady Sophia, please do not do anything that will make the alpha prince scold you again,” said her head attendant. “You will just push him further away from you, our lady.”
Sophia stopped walking and turned towards the woman and slapped her face without warning.
“Do you want me to just stay still and just let the alpha prince insult me over and over again by bringing in a prostitute?! Is that what you want me to do?!”
The woman fell to her knees and kissed her shoes. “No, my lady. That is not what I meant!”
But Sophia just kicked her away. “I don’t need your fucking opinion! I will not let another woman steal him away from me! There would be no other Alana in our lifetime!”
My world stopped spinning and my heart skipped a beat when I heard that name.
Alana… Aria…
Why does it seem like I know the woman he’s talking about?
