The Prince's Abused Mate
The Prince’s Abused Mate – Chapter 39

The next day I woke up early as I had class. I was dreading going there because I know most of them already know about the bet and even though Sophie tried to say otherwise, there will still be gossip and all. I go to the bathroom and take a warm shower, the heat is gone and I’m happy about that. I have not seen the Prince either since, my heart misses him badly, and it’s only been two days, the erotic dreams about him making me wake up to wet panties.

Yesterday, Lulu and Alice came to visit, they said that Veronica traveled to Spain but she calls them daily to check up on them and dad flew over there to beg for forgiveness. Lisa caught Arad cheating on her with a high school student and their relationship is crumbling, Lisa won’t stop crying. I honestly don’t feel sorry for her, maybe it’s her karma.

I finish getting ready, I wear black jeans, a tank top, and a throw a cardigan sweater over my outfit. I put on my shoes and carry my bag then walk outside. I suck in a breath as I walk down the stairs.

” Good morning, Miss Amara?” A man says, making me look up. It’s Mr. Cullen next to him is a man in a suit carrying a trumpet. I squint my eyes, is he playing so early in the morning?

” Good morning, Mr. Cullen,” I smile.

” Call me Cullen,” he says, I shake my head but he insists.

” Then call me, Amara,” he nods, he turns to the man next to him

” Go and wake them, please,” the man with the Trumpet nods and walk upstairs.

Cullen smiles at me ” I see you are ready for school,”

” Yes,”

” Did someone send you breakfast?”

Someone did but I wasn’t hungry.

” Not hungry, I’ll just have something to eat at school,”

The head butler scowls, but nods

” Do make sure to have something to eat. The driver will take you to school,” he says.

” That’s not necessary, I can walk or take a taxi,” I say to him.

” No I can’t-” Before he finishes his sentence, Amora cuts him.

” I’m going that way, I’ll take you, Amara,”

She smiles and begins to walk down to us, she looks perfect in her short white flared dress and highest heels I’ve probably seen on anybody, her long hair is done nicely with curls at the end. She looks like she’s some Princess out of this world and I stare at her in awe. How can a woman be this incredibly perfect?! Cullen bows to her respectfully and smiles

” Breakfast, my Lady?” He asks, she nods and looks up the stairs while Cullen goes to the kitchen. Is Amora waiting for someone? She sighs before looking at me with that perfect smile of hers.

” Good Morning, beautiful. Let’s have breakfast,” I can’t find the words to reject instead I smile and nod, following behind.

Our breakfast is served, there are eggs, sausages, pancakes, and fruits, everything looks delicious and my stomach growls, I blush in embarrassment as Amora giggles sweetly.

We eat our breakfast in comfortable silence. Soon, Theo comes into the dining room, staring down at his phone but he freezes once his gaze locks with Amora’s.

” What are you doing here?” He asks, looking a bit annoyed and it’s the first time I’ve heard his tone this hard. Amora sits back and crosses her arms on her chest.

” I postponed my flight yesterday but I’ll go by noon,” she responds calmly, she continues to eat and the young Prince walks toward us, he smiles at me and greets me.

” Good morning, Amara?”

” Good morning, Prince Theodore,”

” How have you been? is your arm okay now?” I raise it, I only have a few bruises left, and my arm is healed, but I do feel some pain sometimes when I forget to take my medication.

We converse a bit and soon we are silent, a female servant serves him his food, getting quite close to the Prince and Amora lets out a low chilling growl, glaring at the young woman who scurries away without meeting anyone’s gaze. Theodore has a smirk on his lips, he seems… Amused.

” Isn’t your betrothed bored of waiting for you, Princess Amora,” he tries to sound calm but I could sense venom in his words.

” No, he would never, trust me, he’d wait for a century…I have that much of an impact on people,” she says without looking up from her plate, picking her food carefully, and I notice she’s having more grapes than anything else. The Prince’s jaw clench and he looks angry but he is breathing and closing his eyes, trying to contain it.

” Good,” he grits his teeth.

” And you, have you resolved your issues with your girlfriend?” She asks, looking straight at him. His eyes immediately soften and they stare at each other for a long time. I feel like I’m intruding just being here with them. At last, Theodore answers,

” Yes,” his voice is gentle, and I see hurt in Amora’s eyes.

” Good to hear, she’s a good girl. I’m happy for you,” she smiles even though her bright eyes and voice say otherwise. She takes deep breaths, holding her chest slightly as if she’s having a hard time breathing.

” Amora, only because you said- ” she glares at the Prince and raises her fingers.

” I have a duty to my nation and I won’t risk my throne for mere… forced affection I might have for you,” She spats, Theodore’s face falls and I can’t decipher the many emotions on his face and my heart clenches for him “Amara can we go now?”

I nod and get up, no words were spoken between the two and we walked to her white Cadillac car. Amora looks sick and I hold her arm, ” Are you feeling okay?” I ask, she holds my hand

” I hope you and my baby brother resolve your issues,”

I squint my eyes lost at what she said, baby brother? Is she and Ahyan related?

Seeing my confused expression, she explains.

” He’s my little brother, we got separated years ago when our family and clan were under attack,”

I nod slowly in understanding. Noting some similarities on their face. So Amora is a Dragon Princess? I don’t know much about the Dragon Nations, only that they are four and one of the richest and most powerful supernatural creatures.

” Which Nation do you belong to?”

” Eastern Nation,” She smiles.

I read that the Eastern is the wealthiest among them because of it’s region, and natural minerals, other Nations constantly attack them to claim it. The Eastern Dragon Nation is led by a powerful Princess who took over when the King and Queen died long ago, she began her reign at a very young age and has done an excellent job to defend it from enemies. I gasp and look at Amora, she’s the leader of that Nation! I smile at her and she smiles back. I’m trying to picture her at her throne, giving orders.

” Amara, a mate is a blessing that not all of us will get,” she rasps. What does she mean?

” Is Prince Theodore your mate?” She looks intently at me before slowly nodding.

” You can’t tell anyone, we just can’t be together,” she says. I want to know more but I wouldn’t want her to think I’m prying.

” Your brother and I are complicated too,” I confess.

” Aah damn those brothers but they love us, I think. Ahyan regrets what he did and is trying to change,” she says. I don’t add any words. Ahyan, Ahyan, my heart chants. Why hasn’t he texted or come to see me? I’m sure he’s busy with other girls or parties. How can I give him a chance when he’s not even trying to win me? I glare at the cellphone in my hands, still zero text from him, does he not care how I’m doing? The car stops right in front of the school gate and Amora caresses my cheek, her hand is warm against my skin. Is it because she’s a Dragon? Do they always have warmer body temperatures than us? I notice this with Ahyan as well.

” Take care of yourself, pretty girl,” She smiles, caressing my arm. I nod at that and exit the car.

I enter the gate and keep my head down as I walk to my locker, I notice I’m getting a lot of attention, and others are whispering amongst themselves… Sometimes, having heightened senses sucks as I can hear what they are gossiping about me. Most of them are false while others are true.

Others are laughing and asking why I thought I was special to Prince Ahyan. Some boys are saying they saw us bang in the boy’s lockers while others say Ahyan made a s*x tape of us f*****g and he showed them, I clench my fist. I sigh when I reach my locker but what I see shocks me, there are words slut and w***e written in black ink and already several students gather, wanting to see my reaction.

I open it and tears sting my eyes but I don’t let them fall. No, I won’t let them fall.

” Hey, Pretty!” I hear Sophie’s voice, I immediately turn around and hug her. She holds me kindly for a long time, when she pulls away, she glares at the b***h laughing in the corner.

” It was Debra, I’m going to kill that b***h,” Sophie growls, rushing toward Debra. She lunges at her immediately and they start to fight viciously in the hallway. I run to them, Sophie is scratching and kicking her and Debra does the same and no matter how much we try to pull them apart, the two just don’t stop.

Suddenly, I feel a punch on my cheek that makes my neck twist and I glare at my attacker, Sheila? My b***d is boiling and I see red.

I immediately attack her, she falls to the ground and I sit on top of her, punching her face several times, while she tries to block my blows or shrug me off but she’s not stronger than me.

The hallway is packed with students and most of them are either screaming, cheering, or trying to stop the fight.

” Get her!” Someone shouts, Sheila manages to punch me in the stomach and ribs but I ignore the pain.

I feel tingles all over my body and suddenly I’m being lifted from Sheila’s body, from the sparks I know it’s Ahyan. My heart is pounding and adrenaline is rushing through me.

” Don’t f*****g touch me,” I revolt against Ahyan’s hands but he hugs me tightly from behind and asking me to be calm but I can’t.

” Let me f.cking go!” I scream, trying to go at that girl again, her sister helps her up but she is bleeding and cursing at me

” You b***h, you’ll pay for this!” Debra shouts.

I look over at Sophie who’s being held by Cole and Jay is holding Debra. Both of them are growling and struggling to be set free.

” Amara, baby, calm down,” Ahyan’s voice is only pissing me off more. I struggle until I leave his grasp, going to stand with Sophie. My friend puts a hand on my shoulder as we glare at the two ladies we were fighting. The room is still in a fuss and everyone is excited about the catfight.

” Ladies, my office now,” the vice principal says from the stairs, we follow him to his office. I glare at Ahyan for less than a second and I see his pained expression.
