The Mate He Hates

Amanda’s POV

“Elisa!” I screamed at the top of my voice and ran to her, falling to the floor as I carried her into my arms. “Elisa!” I yelled as I shook her body, but she didn’t respond to me; instead, blood was gushing out of her head. My whole body shook with fear as the thought of her being dead enveloped me, but I shook my head, not wanting to believe it. Elisa can’t be dead; it can’t be.

“Elisa, please wake up,” I pleaded with fear, but she was lifeless. Moving my gaze around, I saw a broken vase on the floor, which had the stain of Elisa’s blood on it. “What happened?” I whispered in fear, wondering who must have done this and why.

“Elisa,” I shook her again, but there was no response from her; she was already dead. I heard footsteps approaching, and I looked at the door in shock; it was Alpha Edward with Aunt Ana and Father.

“What is going on here?” Alpha Edward yelled as he rushed towards us and snatched Elisa away from me. While hot sweat formed on my forehead, I watched him check her pulse, and then his eyes widened as he looked back at me with anger filled eyes. “She is dead!” He declared, but I shook my head. “She can’t be dead,” I responded, terrified.

Aunt Ana shook her head in fear and checked Elisa, and suddenly, she let out a loud cry and fell to the floor. “My daughter is gone!” She yelled at the top of her voice. With terrified eyes, I looked at Alpha Edward, who was still checking on Elisa; I could see him shaking his head with disbelief as he checked on her, and suddenly, he looked up at me, anger and pain shimmering in his eyes.

“What happened?” He asked.

“She killed my daughter; she has killed my daughter,” Aunt Ana accused, and my eyes widened as I shook my head. “No, I didn’t; I saw her like this,” I defended myself, but the look on Alpha Edward’s face showed he didn’t believe me.

“You!” He grabbed me by the arms and pulled me up on my feet. Our eyes interlocked, and I could feel the intensity of his anger; his usual green eyes were now gray, and his grip on me tightened, causing my knees to quiver.

“You killed her!” He accused me, but I shook my head. “I… didn’t…” I tried defending myself.

“Lies, lies! I knew you were so jealous of your sister, but I never knew you would go to the extent of taking her life. You killed your sister!” Aunt Ana accused, but I shook my head. “I didn’t, please believe me,” I pleaded while tears fell freely down my cheeks.

I held the gaze of Alpha Edward, which was burning with anger and hate. He sneered at me and threw me to the hard floor before going to Elisa. I watched him check on her again, and this time, a tear dropped from his eyes, and he looked my way with anger and hate.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I didn’t kill her, I swear!” I pleaded, but no one seemed to believe me. Alpha Edward hugged the body of Elisa and I could hear soft sobs coming from him. He was literally crying before us, which was something Alphas don’t usually do.

After a moment of pouring a few tears, he got up, wiped the tears off his face and stared at the body of Elisa; then he turned to Aunt Ana.

“The wedding will still take place,” he announced, and my eyes widened. Was he going to get married to the dead body of Elisa?

“How?” Aunt Ana asked with tears.

Suddenly, Alpha Edward turned to me and glared at me. “Prepare her; I will be getting married to her!” He announced, and my eyes widened with shock.

“What?” Aunt Ana asked, and he nodded his head.

“Prepare her for the marriage,” he uttered firmly and left the room. Everyone seemed confused, including Father, who was hugging the dead body of Elisa.

“You.” Aunt Ana grabbed my hair and pulled me by the hair. “Bring my daughter back to me; give my daughter back to me,” she yelled in tears.

“I didn’t kill her, please believe me,” I pleaded with tears.

“Lies. I was with my daughter a few moments ago, and the moment I left, you walked into her room and killed her just because you were so jealous of her; you decided to kill her,” Aunt Ana tightened her grip on my hair, and it felt like my hair would get uprooted.

“I will kill you; I will kill you,” Aunt Ana threatened as she bared out her two fangs, ready to strike me with them.

“Stop it,” Father stopped her.

“What do you think you are doing?” He yelled at her, and my heart fluttered to know that he cared about me and wouldn’t want me dead. Aunt Ana turned to him with anger and groaned. “Why are you stopping me?” She yelled.

“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what Alpha Edward said? He wants her to be given to him in marriage, and here you intend to kill her? What are we going to tell him?” Father muttered, and Mother groaned.

“So we are going to let her marry him?” Aunt Ana asked.

“Yes,” Father responded. “We have no choice, but don’t worry; I don’t think he will let her live longer than a day,” Father answered, and my heart shattered. Here I was, thinking my father actually cared for me when he didn’t but only wanted to hand me over to Alpha Edward, which he was sure would kill me.

Aunt Ana glared at me, and then she looked at the lifeless body of Elisa. A tear dropped on her cheek, but she wiped it off and glared at me. “Get ready; you are getting married to Alpha Edward, and if you dare to say a word or do anything stupid, be sure that I will kill you, and your mother will join you soon,” she threatened, causing my whole being to quiver with fear.”
