Chapter 6 They don't like her

The Alpha King held Melanie's hand and walked to the last room downstairs, he opened the door and got in but surprisingly Melanie refused to walk in, the Alpha King looked at her and saw the fear in her eyes, and that's when it dawned on the Alpha King, she's afraid of being locked up again, the Alpha King turned to her and slowly raised her face to meet his gaze,

“Nobody is going to lock you here, the door is always open and you can choose to come out when you want, but you have to be careful so you do not wander about okay?” 

Melanie was just staring at the Alpha King and the only thing she could see was those shining blue eyes

“I'm here, and no one will hurt you, do not be afraid, my room is upstairs” The Alpha pointed at the stairs and for the first time Melanie reacted by turning to look at the stairs, 

“Why are you bending? Why can't you stand straight?” The Alpha asked her, but she didn't utter a word, though she reacted by turning her gaze towards the ground, the Alpha King figured out it's not the right time to ask her question

“Come let's go in” He held her and this time she walked in without hesitation, but as soon as she saw the inside of the room, she fell on the floor immediately

The Alpha King smiled noticing she's not used to a place like this, he squat down with one of his knees on the floor, 

“You can sleep on the bed, the floor is not good for your health, come let me show you” 

Melanie allowed the Alpha King as he carried her in his arms and laid her on the soft bed, 

“This is how you lay down if you want to sleep” The Alpha King said to her, more like he's teaching her how to use a bed, and if you want to seat, you sit like this” The Alpha carried her and sat her down, she wanted to hug her knees to herself when the Alpha King stopped her, 

“No you don't do that, that's not how to sit, don't worry you'll slowly get used to it” The Alpha said to her, and sat beside her, 

“You need to bath and change this clothes, I'll get Maria to help you with it” The Alpha King said to her and wanted to leave but was surprised when Melanie held him back, 

“You don't want anybody?” The Alpha King asked her but she didn't say anything, the Alpha took that as a yes and nodded, 

“Come let me show you how to use the bathroom” The Alpha took her hand as they walked to the bathroom, 

“Here is a bathtub, you fill it with the temperature of water you want is either hot or cold and then you climb inside and start bathing, and given to your skin you would need a long bath, should I send the maids to get hot water?” He asked her but she slowly shook her head, 

In front of the Alpha King, she climb into the bathtub and slowly took of her sackcloth, but the moment the Alpha King's eyes met with her bare skin

“Who damaged you like this?” He asked her and the poor Melanie only stared at him in silence,
