Mated To The Demon Prince-Chapter 31: Slap

He leaned close to grip her harshly on the sides of her arms causing everyone in the room to be alarmed. Evangeline then felt genuinely terrified by this caveman. It made her to have unpleasant flashbacks about him—some of it that weren’t hers which made her a bit confused about many things. She wiggled herself out of his hold and fell several steps back as her head began to spin and swirl with a thousand voices speaking to her all at once.

Images of blood and Evangeline letting herself be embraced by the monster standing before her moved in her head like a reel. It made her sick to the stomach and her hands fly up to her head as it felt like it would fall off soon if this dizziness doesn’t stop.

One particular memory stood out the most to her, and she listened to it.

’’I have forced myself to love you now, Alpha Jack. Written many love notes to you to deceive everyone that I am interested in you romantically. Please, don’t let me ask the Moon Goddess to be your Mate,’’ Evangeline wept as she knelt down before him. It was a cold night, and it looked like they were meeting in nowhere in particular. There was nothing around them to use as landmarks and figure out where they were.

All she could see was snow falling mercilessly on them. And Evangeline was kneeling on ice before a hairy monster that stared down at her like he had full control over her life. His double-edged axe swinging from his hands as he continued to terrify the girl, sobbing her heart out to him and pleading for his mercy on her life.

Charlotte heart’s broke when Evangeline reached out to wipe the tears streaming down her face with the back of her hands. Eyes looking up desperately at the Alpha who wasn’t ready to let things go her way but his.

’’I have always done everything you’ve said,’’ her voice broke as more tears tumbled down her pale cheeks like a river. ’’I even have a painting of you in my room that I stare at and bow down to each day. Everyone thinks I am madly obsessed with you but please—’’

It was heartbreaking to see her like that. Trying to speak up and at the same time let her tears communicate how she is feeling right now.

’’.... I don’t want to end up as your Mate. I don’t even want a Mate. I just want to be strong enough to help my father defeat the Devil God and bring peace to my people.’’

Charlotte stiffened when the overweight Alpha lowered himself and roughly grabbed her chin so she could face him eye to eye. Poor Evangeline struggled in his hold as his grip on her tightened enough to bruise her beautiful pale cheeks.

’’You will do everything that I say if you know what’s good for you, Princess,’’ He growled lowly to her face, bringing more terrified looks from her as she was forced to stare at him.

’’You would beg the Moon Goddess to have us paired as mates and let me have my way with you. Then you will be nothing but my little pawn the moment you ascend the throne of the Alpha King and Jaggering Teeth Pack would be the second most powerful werewolf pack after Crimson Ridge Pack in all of Astoria. You don’t defy me or else...’’

Evangeline shivered when he leaned so close to her face. Her eyes wide, fearing what he was going to do to her.

A crazy smirk appeared on the Alpha’s tattered face.

’’You know what’s at stake if you should dare go against me.’’

Evangeline stiffened when he began to mold his lips roughly against hers, and she could do nothing but submit to him and his madness.

Charlotte’s eyes flared open the moment that terrible piece of Evangeline’s memory ended, and she was left with nothing but the memories of her own. She took a moment to process what she’d just seen. Her breaths heavy as her chest rose and fell with each labored breath. The hands by her side shaking as realization dawn on her that this bastard has been taking advantage of this person long before she claimed ownership of her body.

Her hands fisted around the bottom of her sword tightened as her anger grew taller than Everest and sank deeper than the Atlantic.

’’Evangeline, sweetheart, are you okay?’’ Came the worried voice of her mother. This then made her wonder how no one ever saw that Alpha Jack might be using their precious daughter for his selfish need of absolute power. It was weird though when she found out that she was madly in-love with a monster like him.

Her eyes narrowed on him when he began to observe her with disgust.

Charlotte had no idea of what she was doing when she slowly removed her sword from her sack, earning multiple gasp from a lot of people. She tried not to be overwhelmed by how heavy the sword was in her grasp. She was terrible with kitchen knifes, talkless of a fifteen inches long sword.

Leave.

’’Leave,’’ She found herself saying as that entity spoke in her head again with so much authority. She found herself pointing the tip of the sword at the shocked looking Alpha. He had probably never have someone point a double-edged sword at him in his damned existence.

Especially from the girl he thought he had total control over, and he could make her dance to his tunes always.

I never want to see your face again.

’’I never want to see your face again.’’

You have already done more harm than good in my life.

’’You have...already done more harm than good in my life.’’

Out of everything you’ve done to me, I will never forget the day you chased me mercilessly towards the dungeons and attempt to take my innocence by force.

The moment those words left her lips, her spine tingled at the multiple growls that echoed around her. Her mother quickly rushed down the stairs to pull her daughter to herself and away from the Alpha. Evangeline saw her mother stand between them and the Alpha before delivering a resounding slap at him.

The slap was so hard enough to throw the caveman unbalanced, stumbling back a few feet, mortified at the thought of being slapped by a woman.

Alpha Jack dug his grave when he growled, baring his ugly brown teeth at them.

The loudest shaking came from the Alpha King, who warned the deranged Alpha to dare make the wrong move at his Mate.

Evangeline was surprised to see everyone bow their heads in response to the Alpha King’s call of dominance. Even those that did not look like them fell on their knees and watched with widened eyes when Alpha Jack flinched back in fear at her father.

Her mom drew her closer to herself while still taking a protective stance before her.

The Alpha King then began to descend the stairs and stopped at the bottom of it with an angered look.

’’Dare to take a single step towards them, and I’ll rip out your organs to feed you. Your head will rot on a spike at your doorstep after I make you curse the day you were born.’’
