The Alpha Prince's Abused Mate Chapter 97

ALANA

“No…” I continued shaking my head and clenching my hands to keep my focus. “Stop messing with my kind, Lucas! No matter what happens, I won’t give in to you! It’s William whom I love! He is my only mate!”

I began plucking out my fur from my back while biting my own arm to concentrate myself from the pain and not to the hypnotizing feeling I am getting from Lucas.

I will never be tempted to be his mate. I will never be his mate, ever!

Blood started spurting out from my back and arm making me wince in pain. Tears blurred my sight and the scent of my blood interfered with my sense of smell making me a bit distracted from being drawn to Lucas.

“Alana!” Lucas yelled with a tinge of worry when I saw his face contorted with pain.

I’m sure he’s feeling the same kind of pain as I am.

“What are you doing?!” he snarled in panic when he saw what I’m doing.

I just looked straight at him and continued pulling out every fur that I get my hand unto. This is the only way I could get my mind straight, to not be swayed by his tempting smell!

Lucas came up to me and gasped when he saw blood all over me.

“Alana…” he whispered in pain. “What are you doing to yourself?” His voice is soft laced with agony this time.

“This is the only way,” I answered, my tears still flowing. “I cannot shift into my wolf in your presence, Lucas. I will not let that happen.”

Anguish due to rejection crossed his eyes as he tried to reach for me but I quickly stepped back. I should never let him touch me. Who knows what will happen if he does that?

“Can’t you even give me a chance?” he asked in misery. “Why are you rejecting me in an instant when you didn’t even give me the chance to show you that I could treat you better than the alpha prince? Alana, with me, you can live freely without being surrounded by people who will do nothing but judge your every move! I can make you happier! I will be able to give you a peaceful life which is something that William cannot give to you! But why are you rejecting my love?! Why are you acting like you disgust the idea of having me as your mate?! I am your true mate! I am the one you will be with for the rest of your life!”

Panting for air, I bit my other arm and let the blood flow. “It’s because my body wants to be with you but my heart… it will always be loyal to William, Lucas. Because of that, I cannot believe that you are my true mate. If you are, then you should be able to possess me body, heart, and soul. The only one who is able to do that is William.”

I stood there, unmoving, drenched with my own blood, with my white fur on the floor of the forest in red color. “You can never have me, Lucas. I can’t allow it to happen.”

But I never dare see any mark of surrender in his eyes. I know he is still determined to have me for himself.

“You may have successfully averted my claim to you today, but not every day is your lucky day.”

He transformed into his wolf, howled, and then disappeared into the wilderness.

Exhausted, I fell to the ground and let my wounds heal on their own. I just recently discovered that I healed a little too fast than any regular werewolf. I thought back then, it’s only natural as a preparation for my skin to be whipped and ripped again the next day.

When I got home, I made sure to take a bath to get rid of Lucas smell on me. I don’t want to give William any reason to be suspicious about it.

And slowly, I lay next to William while hugging him, asking the moon goddess above why this is all happening.

“I love you, William,” I whispered in his ear. “You are the only man I am going to love.”

The next morning, I woke up with William on top of me, staring at the mark of my neck, a look of concern in his eyes.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and acted like I did not know that his mark on me was fading while his continued to be just the same as the day that I marked him.

“Why, William? Is there something wrong?”

He shook his head and ran a finger on my neck. “I don’t have any recollection about what happened last night but can I bite you right here?”

I laughed, feeling butterflies in my stomach as I pulled him in. “Sure, do whatever you want with me.”

He smiled before digging in and planting a kiss mark on my neck.

Securing a hold on the back of my neck and drawing me closer until no space remains between us, he claimed my lips, his mouth hungrily exploring every crevice of my being, and his tongue intertwining with mine until we were completely detached from the world.

There is no one that matters in our realm but just the two of us.

Before I knew it, William just slid my panty to the side, checked if I was wet enough, and eased himself into me.

I clenched my hands on the blanket when I felt pain again but this time it’s bearable.

I looked up to kiss him but was surprised to see him in pain. We are both in pain but no one of us is openly talking about it because we are too afraid about the truth and the answers.

We are too afraid to lose each other.

“I can’t lose you, Alana. I will die if that happens,” he muttered and buried his face into my neck.

I kissed his cheeks and wrapped my legs around his waist to take him even deeper inside me. “That won’t happen, William. You can’t ever lose me.”

And even when there is pain when we start moving together, it becomes bearable because William has been extra careful all throughout even when he is feeling the same pain.

He’s moving too fast and hard until we are driving towards our climax, and when I scream with my release, he groans and pounds into me one last time, my name coming out of his lips when he emptied into me.
