The Mate He Hates

Amanda’s POV

“Wake up!” The loud voice of the guard woke me up from my sleep. Slowly, I opened my eyes and realized the sun was out, reflecting into my room through the window and giving my dim room a ray of light.

“Stand up,” he ordered as he opened the gate of my cell and harshly pulled me up. “Where are you taking me?” I asked.

“You will know when you get there,” he said to me, and I gulped in fear. As he pulled me along, I felt like passing out; I was so hungry and thirsty. “I need water,” I pleaded with the guard, but he ignored me and continued pulling me along.

I thought he was taking me to Alpha Edward to have his way with me, but I realized I was wrong when I saw he was taking me to the top of the mansion. I was confused and scared at the same time.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

He took me to the rooftop, and when we arrived there, I realized two maids were already waiting for us.

Confused, I stared at them, wondering what we were all doing here. “Call me if anything goes wrong,” he said to the two maids, who nodded before he left us. Confused, I stared at the two maids, who looked at me with pity on their faces. “You have to undress,” they said.

“Why?” I asked. “Alpha Edward has ordered that we rub this grounded pepper on your naked body and make you kneel under the sun until he says otherwise, so please undress and let’s do what we were asked to.” One of the maids spoke, and my heart sank. Tears clouded my eyes as I wondered what kind of a man Alpha Edward was; how could he think of inflicting such pain on me.

“Please undress,” the maid urged. With tears trickling down my cheek, I looked around the rooftop and realized no one was in sight apart from the three of us.

Swallowing hard, I began taking off my clothes until I was naked. The maid picked up the pots of grounded pepper, moved closer to me, and started applying it to my body.

My body shook at the impact of the pepper. As they rubbed it all over my body, more tears trickled down my cheeks; I wished I could die and end this pain, but it seemed it was already too late. Soon, they were through. They rubbed all parts of my body apart from my face.

“You have to kneel,” one of the maids said, and reluctantly, I fell to my knees and began sobbing. The scorching sun hit me hard, making the chilly pepper burn even more intensely. I couldn’t comprehend why Alpha Edward would subject me to such cruelty. As I knelt there, vulnerable and in agony, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of pain wash over me. How could anyone derive pleasure from causing such pain to another human being? With tears streaming down my face, I silently prayed for this torment to end.

It was as if the sun was against me because it began to heat up more; my whole body was burning with pain, and it felt like I would pass out. The pain was so unbearable; I had never imagined I would go through such torture.

With tears-filled eyes, I looked at the maids who stood in a corner looking at me with pity. Painful tears trickled down my cheeks, while my entire body burned with pain. As the excruciating pain enveloped me, my vision blurred, and my head spun. I thought of the day I met and helped Alpha Edward in the woods. I wished that day never came; I wished I hadn’t gone to the woods; I wished I had left just as Elisa had warned; maybe all this wouldn’t have happened.

Elisa would still be alive, my mother would still be alive, and I wouldn’t be in such a miserable state. I cursed the day I met Alpha Edward and wished that day never came.

The fiery sting of the pepper intensified, searing every inch of my exposed skin. I struggled to remain upright, my knees weakening beneath me. With each agonizing breath, the world seemed to tilt and sway until, finally, I could no longer fight the overwhelming sensation of nausea and torment. My body gave way, and I crumpled to the ground. The maids rushed to my side, their voices a distant echo as darkness consumed my consciousness.
