The Mate He Hates

Amanda’s POV

The room fell into total silence as the men left, leaving me alone with Alpha Edward. Looking into his eyes, I saw so much hate and anger directed towards me, and I couldn’t bear to look anymore; instead, I averted my gaze as tears dropped onto my cheek.

“Why did you do it?” His voice was low, but the anger in his tone was palpable.

With a hard gulp, I looked at him and shook my head. “Answer the damn question!” He yelled and threw the glass of wine to the floor, making me flinch in fear.

“Why did you do it?” He yelled again, getting up from his seat. In the blink of an eye, he picked me up from the floor and slammed my back against the wall.

“Why? Why? Why did you kill her?” He continued to yell, his eyes glowing with anger. “She was supposed to be my second chance mate, but you took her away. You made me lose another mate!” He spat with pain and anger. “Why did you kill her? Why would you do that?” He demanded angrily, and all I could do was sob loudly. I couldn’t form words; they were stuck in my throat.

“Answer me!” He yelled and hit the wall beside me, so close that I could feel the force.

“Goddess!” He yelled and moved away from me. With my eyes soaked in tears, I looked at the wall and realized his hit had caused a deep hole. My body trembled, and I glanced his way to see him bleeding, but he seemed unfazed, glaring at me like an animal ready to devour me. He was so different from the young man I had saved in the woods years ago.

Swallowing my pain, I decided to speak. “I… didn’t do it…”

“Lies! Your stepmother told me how you wanted me for yourself, and this is the extent you went to have me…” he clapped his both hands. “Congratulations, you now have me. We are now husband and wife. I believe you are now happy,” he yelled disgustingly, and I could only shake my head. My heart ached with a pain I couldn’t explain.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Damn it,” he grunted and closed his eyes. A tear fell on his cheek, and he didn’t bother to wipe it away.

Turning his gaze to me, our eyes met, and he glared at me with so much hate. “You killed her because you wanted me, right?” He asked, and all I could do was shake my head.

He stepped closer, but I couldn’t move away because my back was against the wall. “Congratulations, now you have me. We are now married,” he chuckled bitterly and took one last glance at me before returning to his seat. I watched him take his seat, and then he held my gaze. “Undress!”

My eyes widened. “You heard me clearly, dear wife, undress,” he demanded, and my whole being went numb. “Don’t make me repeat myself, strip!”

I swallowed hard while my heart pounded with fear. I couldn’t believe what he was asking and why he would ask that.

“You are my wife, and this is our wedding night. Don’t you want us to consummate our marriage?” He asked, and I gulped in pain and fear. This was a disaster.

“These options are placed before you. Either you agree to perform the duties of a wife to her husband, or I’ll send you to be hanged to death. The only thing keeping you alive is because you are my wife, so make your decision,” he urged.

More tears fell on my cheeks. Not able to hold his gaze, I looked away and cried more. His two options were a nightmare for me.

Firstly, I knew he would have a plan. Being his wife would be a living hell; I could still remember his words of how he would inflict so much pain on me, and I feared what he would do to me.

On second thought, I considered the second choice, hanging. I would be killed by my mate for a crime I never committed. I thought of accepting the death penalty; at least, that would be better than living a life of hell. But then, I thought of my mother. How would she cope if she knew I was dead? It would break her heart, and she wouldn’t be able to survive it.

“Don’t keep me waiting,” his words snapped me out of my thoughts, and with teary eyes, I looked his way, and our eyes locked.

He held so much emotion in his eyes, but the ones that stood out vividly were pain and hate. He was in pain for the death of Elisa, and I could feel his pain just by looking into his eyes. But why couldn’t he feel the same for me?

“You have ten seconds to decide, or I’ll decide for you,” he threatened.

“I didn’t do it. I swear it wasn’t me. Why can’t you believe me?” I pleaded.

“Five, four, three, two…”

“I choose to stay as your wife and perform the duties of a wife,” I blurted out in fear and pain.

Silence enveloped the room as I waited for him to speak.

“Strip!” He demanded.

I gulped and looked up at him with teary eyes. “You heard me well, wife. Undress before your husband,” he urged, and a hard gulp passed down my throat.

“Don’t keep me waiting!” He snapped, and I swallowed in pain as hot tears fell down my cheeks. I couldn’t believe a day would come when I would be this worthless before a man. I had always dreamed about my first time, fantasizing about how my mate would make love to me, telling me how much he loves and adores me. But it seems the Moon Goddess had another plan for me.

“Amanda!” He yelled. This was the first time he called me by my name. I didn’t know he knew my name.

While tears fell freely on my cheeks, I reached for the zipper of my dress, unzipped it, and then went for the hands of my dress. With shaky hands, I pulled the dress down to my stomach, revealing my bra. While my heart ached with pain, I pulled the gown down to my feet and stepped out of it, leaving me in my underwear.

Slowly, I lifted my gaze to look at him, and our eyes met. He stared at me with disgust, and my heart ached.

“Take them off,” he demanded, referring to my underwear.

I swallowed in pain as more tears streamed down my cheeks. This day was supposed to be one of my happiest days; it was my first time with my mate, a day every lady dreamed of, including me. But today, that dream had turned into a nightmare.

“I don’t like repeating myself,” he groaned, and I gulped in pain.

Slowly, I went to the hook of my bra, unhooked it, and took the bra off my chest, revealing my breasts to him. I swallowed in pain as more hot tears fell on my cheeks, and with shaking hands, I went for the waistband of my panties. I gently pulled it down to my feet and then stepped out on it before dropping my underwear on the floor. A cold breeze hit my naked body and filled me with embarrassment. I couldn’t lift my gaze to look at Alpha Edward; instead, I settled my eyes on the floor and wept profusely.

“Go over to the desk,” his commanding voice spoke, and I was forced to look around. I spotted a desk with a few books on it. “Now!”

With shaky legs, I walked over to the desk and stood by it. “Turn over!” he ordered, and I obeyed, backing away from him.

Hot tears fell freely on my cheeks as my whole body trembled with fear. Soon, I heard his footsteps behind me, and then I felt his presence so close to me that I had to swallow in pain, but I couldn’t turn around.

Suddenly, I heard him unzip his pants, and my body shook with fear. Before I could comprehend what was happening, forceful hands gripped my waist and forcefully parted my legs. Before I could think, I felt his length trying to invade my entrance, and out of panic, I wanted to pull away, but he slammed my head to the table and leaned in close to my left ear. “If you don’t want this, then say it,” he threatened, and my entire body went numb as his words replayed in my head. “Not a move or a sound from you,” he demanded, and I went mute; even my sobs stopped. Silence filled the air, but then I felt him part my legs wider, and then I felt the tip of his member touching the entrance of my entrance.

He yanked me closer to himself and forcefully inserted himself into me without preparation. “Ahhhh,” I exclaimed in pain, but he kept pushing himself in until his full length was fully inside me, taking my virginity in such a brutal way.

I heard him groan in satisfaction and anger, and then he pulled out of me and forcefully slammed in again. “Ahh,” I cried out because the pain was unbearable, but he gripped my hair and pulled my head off the table.

“One more sound from you, and I will fuck you to death,” he threatened and slammed my head back to the desk.

“You wanted me. You wanted to have me. Well, this is me, have me,” he said as he pulled out and then plunged forcefully inside me. I muffled in pain and felt his member thrust in and out of me while he aggressively fucks me, and then he took hold of my hair and slammed harder. I could hear his grunts as he struggled to thrust in and out of me. I wanted to cry, shout, and scream, but I realized I was too weak even to say a word, and all I could do was close my eyes and weep silently while he had his way with me.

He slammed harder for several minutes until he suddenly stopped and aggressively pulled out of me, leaving me collapsed on the desk, muffled in tears.

I heard the door open, which was closed with a loud slam. With shaky legs, I tried to stand erect and then slowly looked between my thighs and realized I was stained with blood. My whole body shook with pain, not just physical pain but emotional pain, too. Never would I have thought that my first time with my mate would be in such a brutal way. Sobbing loudly, I tried to stand upright, but my legs were too weak, and I ended up falling to the floor.
