The Alpha Prince's Abused Mate Chapter 58

ALANA

“Madam Sophia!” the maids screamed in horror upon seeing the face of their beloved mistress being whipped by me.

“Ahhh! My face! My beautiful face!” Sophia yelled in both agony and excruciating pain. “What the fuck, Alana?!” She turned towards the maids who were still huddled to the wall in utter surprise. “What are you doing?! Run outside and call for help! This woman is going crazy already!”

“Take one step forward and I will make sure to order Lucas to kill all of you,” I threatened them even though I will never do it.

“But ambassadress, that is Madam Sophia, the daughter of the alpha and his luna!” the maid who was feeding Sophia earlier answered. “We cannot let their one and only heir be lashed out like this.”

“Heir?” I asked sarcastically. “Do you even know who you are talking to? I am the first and legitimate daughter of the alpha! If there is going to be someone who is going to inherit the throne, it is me and not Sophia who does not even have a drop of blood from my own father!”

The maids bowed down their heads and stayed still in their positions knowing that they will be more in danger if they dared to fight me.

Sophia laughed from my back as she pulled my hair. “How dare you say that when you are not even my father’s daughter?! You are not Alpha Killian’s daughter! You are the product of your promiscuous mother’s cheating!”

I kicked her leg and slapped her so hard that her whole body was thrown back into the floor. She can badmouth me all she wants but she crossed the border when she said that to my dead mother who can never defend herself.

“Ah!” She stood up and glared at her maids. “What are you doing?! I said go outside and ask for help!” Sophia hollered while trembling in the corner as her hand was on her swollen face.

“Shut up, Sophia,” I said coldly and raised my whip and beat the hell out of her in the process.

I do not care anymore where I am hitting her. Face. Body. Back. Legs. I don’t even know where my whip has landed on her body. I am drunk on the adrenaline rush and all I want is to break the whip into her whole body.

“Alana, stop it! Stop it already!”

She used her hands to shield her body from my attacks but it has no use from my wrath. Even her plan of transforming into her wolf did not push through because I was completely dominating her.

Sophia’s whole body is marred with red whip marks and there were even cuts on the side of her eyes but not as deep as I used to have from the whippings then.

The maids knelt before me begging for me to stop. “Ambassadress, please stop! You are going to kill Madam Sophia in this case!”

But I did not stop and just continued hitting her until my hands numbed and the whip gave up on itself.

“Our lady, please stop already!” Ana crawled into my side and touched my hand. “Ambassadress Alana, please stop now. I am begging you.”

My hands stopped moving on their own as I stared at Sophia on the floor crying while seeing the wounds all over her body.

Walking up to Sophia, I sat down on one side and lifted her chin using the other end of the whip. Her red eyes filled with tears and rage stared back at me.  

“What I did to you is just the tiniest fraction of what you made me suffer from before. You only got a taste of my daily reality back then, Sophia. Imagine living this kind of life everyday for 18 years! Imagine how shattered and soul-wrenching it was to be me back then!”

She grinned at me and spat blood on the floor. “Because you deserved it all, Alana. The shit and hell you went through, you deserved it all!”

My tears cascaded down my face as I reached for the whip again but a small cold hand stopped me from beating Sophia again. When I turned to my side, Ana was crying while shaking her head at me.

“Please do not trouble yourself with me, ambassadress. It’s all my fault! I do not want you to get in trouble just because of a lowly kid like me!”

I immediately let go of the whip and hugged her. What am I doing letting her witness all of that? Would she be traumatized just like me? Would she have sleepless nights like me too?

The door opened and Luna Minerva came in with the soldiers behind her.

“Mommy!” Sophia wailed and Minerva can only gasp in disbelief.

“What the hell did you just do to my daughter?!”

She lunged towards me in towering fury but was quickly stopped by Lucas.

“Do not dare harm the ambassadress, lady. She is under the protection of the alpha king!”

Minerva clenched her hands and looked back at her own daughter who was now under the care of the maids.

“My Sophia! Oh, my poor Sophia!” She pointed at me. “Why did you do this to my daughter?!”

Ana hid in my back while I stepped in with a raised face. My whole body is shaking all over but I did not feel any remorse for what I did.

“I am doing it out of my duty, Luna Minerva. I witnessed how your daughter is abusing a child so I wanted her to learn a lesson.”

“A lesson?! That girl is just a slave and she could do whatever she wants with her! How dare you do this to Sophia?! Alana, she is your sister for fuck’s sake!”

“I am also her sister and yet she abused me so much to the point that I could no longer walk! She only showed me what a sister should do to her own sister. When she does it, it’s fine and when I do it, it’s not? It does not make sense, Luna Minerva.”

She gritted her teeth. “Your father will hear about this! Alpha Killian will hear about this!”

“I am sure he will and I am prepared to see him.” I closed our distance and leaned in to whisper. “Just make sure to discipline your daughter because if you don’t, I am willing to discipline her in the same way that you and my father had disciplined me. You understand, Minerva?”

She stiffened in her position as she met my eyes. “I can’t believe we raised a monster, Alana. You are a monster!”

I can only smirk at her. “Look who’s talking. If I am a monster then who are you? You made me this way, Minerva. You killed the light in me so you should suffer for what you did to me!”

I left the room in a hurry before I could break down in front of her.

“Ambassadress,” Lucas called for me but I did not dare to turn my back around because my tears are already streaming down my face.

Suddenly, my steps faltered on their own when I saw William waiting for me at the end of the hallway. He’s looking at me but I can’t read anything in his eyes because of my tears.

“Are you going to tell me I am wrong too? Are you going to tell me I should not have done that to Sophia?”

He crossed our distance and pulled me into his arms and caressed my back. “No, I won’t do that. She deserves everything you’ve done to her now. That even amounts to nothing compared to what she had done to you.”

I cried loudly as I clutched the hem of his top. “I saw her whipping Ana, William. I saw her whipping that poor child!”

“I know, I know. You only did the right thing to save Ana,” he replied and kissed my head.

I know he knows that it’s not just about what Sophia did to Ana. It’s about me actually. I saw my young self through Ana. I saw my hardship through her and I want to inflict the same pain that they made me suffer for so long.

“Don’t worry. You did the right thing. You caught Sophia abusing the child and you just did it out of duty. No one will be able to lay a hand on you, Alana. I am here. Your mate is here. I will protect you.”

I just nodded and relaxed in his arms knowing that William would be true to his words.
