The Prince's Abused Mate
The Prince’s Abused Mate – Chapter 36

I wake up in a new room, I sigh and look at the high ceilings. How did I get in bed last night? Did ahyan stay a while after I slept? I wonder. I take a deep breath and Inhale the remnants of his scent. Damn, his smell is becoming more delicious than ever! I stretch my arms and finally get out of bed. I grab my phone to ask for some clothes from Sophie but before I do, the door opens and the girl I met yesterday walks in with another young woman. They bow low and greet me.

” Good Morning, my Lady,” she beams at me.

” Morning,” I greet. Sandra walks up to me, directing the other woman to proceed to go to the closet. I notice she is carrying some bags in her hands.

” I got you some clothes and the rest we can just buy online or go to the mall,” she says, I nod, standing there. Sandra is looking at me expectantly and when I don’t say a word, she smiles.

” Let’s get you cleaned, you are to have breakfast with the Royal family this morning,” she informs me. I swallow thickly.

” Can I just have it here instead,”

” No, my lady. The Queen asked me to take you there,”

” Why and can you please just call me by my name and stop bowing to me? It’s uncomfortable,” I murmur, She squints her eyes.

” Cause it’s breakfast and about using your name, it’s not appropriate,” she chuckles, grabbing my hand and taking me to the ensuite bathroom.

” Oh,”

First, this ensuite bathroom is f*****g amazing, there is a long mirror and most of everything is shiny glass with marble tiled floors. There is a large jacuzzi in the center that is already filled with scented water and I can strongly smell wildflowers. I take off my sweater and thong, then my bra. I notice how Sandra swallows and bite her lips, I chuckle. Is she going to watch me bathe? I clear my throat and she averts my gaze, her cheeks turn a shade of red.

” Are you going to watch me?” I ask softly, getting into the tub, the water is lukewarm and as soon as I’m fully situated, a m**n escapes my lips. I close my eyes to relax.

” I’m here to help you,”

I squint my eyes, why is she helping me clean my body? it’s so weird ” No thanks, I can do it alone,” I say getting a soft small towel and rubbing it on my collarbone and neck.

I get startled when I feel hands in my hair, Sandra is on her knees and helping me wash my hair. I roll my eyes but don’t protest, Sandra’s touch is soft and I shut my eyes once again. I really can get used to the Royal treatment. While in my relaxation mood, images of that rogue invade my mind but my wolf is quick to replace them with those of Ahyan. I smile and live on those.

After the bath, I wrap a towel around my body and go to the closet, my new clothes have been put neatly, shoes and accessories. All my belongings fit in one part as the closet is huge. I wonder how they know my size. I’m sitting in front of the mirror while the other young lady dries my hair and Sandra picks out the clothes for me.

I wear my sweater dress and a pair of heels she picked out. They even did my makeup and put lipstick on my lips, I smile into the mirror and so do the ladies.

” You look beautiful, Miss,” they say in unison.

” Call me Amara or Mara,” I say once again to them.

” We can only use titles to speak to anyone in the Royal family or their guests,” Sandra explains, I scowl and insist until they concede. I go downstairs with the two ladies escorting me. I once again look at the passages and the modern design of the castle, it’s classicr and a few ladies and men bow to us.

I’m standing in front of a huge door, they are all in there and I can hear chatters. I sigh as two guards push the glass door open.

I step in, and the royal family is sitting around the huge golden table, they turn to me and I look at each one of them, including the former king and queen, Ahyan’s grandparents. I breathe, suddenly I can’t think or walk, I’m having breakfast with the Royal family, they are intimidating and their aura is insanely strong and imposing. My wolf whimper and wants to get away from this place

I’m honestly torn and my heart is pounding in my chest I’m sure they can hear it but why can’t it? These are the strongest wolves and Dragons in the supernatural realm. My eyes go to Queen Lucille, as always, she looks divinely beautiful, sitting next to her husband and when she smiles, I feel slightly at ease. After what seems like hours but I’m sure it was just minutes, Ahyan stands up and walks toward me.

” Good morning, you look beautiful,” he k****s my cheek ever so gently. I nod and he directs me to the huge rectangular table where there is so much food.

He introduces me to everyone as his mate and friend. They clap but he’s quick to cut them.

” She hasn’t yet accepted me as her mate,”

Their facial expressions vary, and my heart clutched when I realized most of it was a disappointment.

” I was a jerk to her,” Ahyan adds. They all begin to talk at once, scolding him, especially his grandmother, lady Astrid.

” Ahyan,” she sighs at last and looks up to me,

” Oh dear, I believe in punishment and take your time,” she smiles, Ahyan looks betrayed by this but his grandmother only continues to smile at me. I take a seat next to Ahyan and we begin to eat. I dare look at the king of Royal City, he’s very tall and handsome, he looks like the copy of Prince Theodore. His large hand is softly caressing the queen’s leg and they are smiling at each other, looking to be so madly in love with each other.

The Royal family looks so normal and once I’m used to them, it’s not so bad. They are joking and laughing even involving me in some conversation but I only nod or smile. I also notice a girl next to Prince Theo, I don’t think I’ve seen her before, she’s an epitome of beauty, and her golden brown skin is a shade lighter than Ahyan’s. Her white wavy hair is falling flawlessly onto her back, it is very unique. She looks like one of those beautiful actresses and she’s just mesmerizing.

She smiles when she notices me staring at her and I look down at my plate. I feel Ahyan’s gaze on me but dare not look at him. The breakfast goes on silently with only a few talking. It looks like Theo and Ahyan are having a silent discussion and I’m not the only one who notices.

” It’s rude to mind link,” their little sister, Princess Venice says, narrows her gaze at her brothers.

” They are probably talking about last night,” Prince William says, getting their parents’ attention as they ask at once.

” What happened last night?”

Theo and Ahyan glare at the boy but he smiles mischievously

” Look, I was minding my business going to the kitchen and I saw Theo and Lady Amora kissing for a long time,”

Everyone at the table stops eating and stares at them with their mouth ajar. The girl, Amora shuts her eyes momentarily while Theo shoots daggers at his brother.

I look between The Prince and Lady Amora, now that I’m looking at them, they look great together and I can sense some s****l tension between them.

” Theo!” The Queen exclaims, fingers on her lips. They all look shocked and only do I remember that he is dating lady Isabella. Oops.

” We were drinking and – and it wasn’t planned,” says Amora, fidgeting a little.

” You and I are talking after breakfast,” the Queen sternly tells her son who nods, he huffs and mutters some words in a foreign language but one cold glare from his father and he shuts up.

After breakfast, everyone goes to do what they are supposed to do and I go to therapy for a few hours. It is hard at first to talk to a person I don’t know about what happened but as I do, I feel slightly better and the female doctor is kind to me.

When I leave the hospital wing, I take a walk outside the castle, there is a guard following me but I don’t pay mind to him. The clouds are dark and it’s a bit colder today.

I see a beautiful lake and I go there, sitting on a bench. I grab my phone from my pocket, and FaceTime Happy and Sophie, I kept smiling at them as they update me on what was going on in their lives. Sophie was dumped by her human boyfriend because he saw Cole kissing her and Happy and Brian went on a date, he is slowly accepting his sexuality and has a strong feeling that he’s the mystery guy he was talking to all along. After ending my call with my best friends, I absentmindedly stare at the deep blue water when a scent envelopes me and I stiffen. I shudder when I turn my neck to see the Prince of vampires.
