The Alpha Prince's Abused Mate Chapter 140

ARIA

The treatment is done and the alpha prince has long been deeply sleeping in his bed but I am still on his side gripping his hand that won’t let go of mine too.

The way he breathed is like someone that is so at peace with the surroundings that he did not have to always be on guard.

“I will know why you are making me feel this way, alpha prince,” I whispered as I stared into his closed eyes and slightly parted lips.

“I will know why I don’t have the urge to kill you despite what you did to my village. You did the most horrible thing and yet all I am feeling now is longing.”

And what exactly this longing meant to me is what boggled me. I am a lycan while the alpha prince is a werewolf. Our clans are mortal enemies so there is no way that we are acquaintances before.

“Are we friends? Are we lovers that have only forgotten each other?” I joked and tried to laugh but my smile soon disappeared when I felt a pang in my heart.

But why does it feel like it’s quite true?

I shook my head while standing up. “No. I must be crazy to even think about that.”

I laughed at myself and pulled at my hair. “Now what happened? We love each other and then we just forget about each other suddenly?”

I know there is a gap in my memory but it could not be possible because of the alpha prince. There has to be something else. There has to be something else.

“That is just absurd.”

I put my hand in my pocket to reach for the vial of poison there but instead of the canister, I touched the note containing those words that never left my head until now.

Do you trust me? Those words are written by the alpha prince because that is definitely the smell of his blood. I know because I smelled it through his wounds while he was injured.

I gasped when my chest suddenly felt like someone had pierced a dagger through it.

“Ahhh…” I gasped when the sharp feeling only intensified the more that I caught my breath.

Clutching my chest, I panted for air as the walls felt like closing in on me. I took a step back feeling the world spinning.

My legs felt numb and I am really sure that my knees gave up already so why didn’t I fall directly to the floor?

Instead, a pair of strong arms wrapped around my body catching me just in time pulling me into his body.

“Stay still. The pain will only worsen if you move,” William said on my back and put me slowly down onto his bed.

“Alpha prince, you are still wounded!” I exclaimed and tried to get out of the bed but he pushed me back down.

“I said don’t move. Aren’t you listening?”

I could only swallow the lump in my throat as I stared into his dark intense eyes.

I nodded and gulped hard. “I’m sorry.”

Without saying anything, he took my hand and began massaging my palm in circles.

“Slowly breathe in and then breathe out,” he ordered me gently to which I obeyed.

“Do not think about anything. Just focus your mind on your breathing and soon, your heartbeat will return to normal.”

I did what he instructed and soon enough, I got my normal breathing and energy back.

That’s when I noticed how intimate our position is.

I am under his body on the bed while he’s on top of me crowding me with his humongous well-built body making sure that my focus is only on his orders.

The alpha prince is shirtless so I can see the scars on his skin as well as the new wounds that are now covered by bandages. I clenched my hands and averted my eyes from his body because I am afraid I can’t control my hands that want to touch him so badly.

“T-Thank you,” I said, stuttering. “But the alpha prince should not go this far for his whore. I am a lycan prostitute while you are a royal werewolf. Your hands do not deserve to be dirtied because of me.”

He chuckled and gazed at my face. “You are not just like any other whore, Aria. You are my whore so I have to save you no matter what.”

But the way he said it so calmly and gently makes me think that he doesn’t really think of me as his whore.

Maybe I am just imagining or just plain delusional but I can hear genuine care in his voice.

He rolled back onto the bed finally giving me the time to let out a silent sigh.

“We had an encounter with the lycan prince,” he said after a while of silence.

My heart beat like crazy and I looked at him a little too fast. He’s looking up at the ceiling where a painting of a lake is situated which reminded me of that painting that I was just looking at earlier.

They must be the same artist since they have the same art style.

“We almost had him. We fucking almost got him but I lost him again,” he growled and punched the bed out of frustration.

He looked at me blankly. “I have his neck in my hands but he still managed to escape.”

I bit my tongue to prevent myself from cursing him under my breath.

“Why do you want to kill him so badly? Why do you have to massacre lycan villages, alpha prince? You already won. Your father is the alpha king and is reigning successfully. Why do you still hunt my people? Why do you still hunger for our deaths?”

He opened his mouth and closed it back up.

After a few seconds, he sat up and looked straight into my eyes. “Because Zuleik took something from me that I could never move on from.” His eyes blazed with fury. “He took the woman that made me the happiest man in this world.”
