When the Alpha King saw that Melanie did not say anything, he slowly opened the tap of the bathtub as more water began to fill the bathtub and when he felt like it's enough, he turned it off. He took the spoge and slowly folded the hands of his regalia,
“Give me your hand” He said to Melanie who has been staring at him the whole time, and slowly Melanie placed her right hand on the Alpha King's empty palm, the Alpha King began to bath her, the more he bath her the more he realizes that it's his first time doing that for anybody in his entire life, throughout the whole time that he was bathing her, Melanie's hazel eyes was staring deep into the Alpha King's blue eyes,
When it got to the part of her body where she had wounds, the Alpha takes it slowly, but he's surprise that there's no whimpers or sign of pain from Melanie, she just kept a straight face, showing no emotions, her crack palm had deep wounds that the Alpha King cannot help but slowly and gently scrub it, he kept scrubbing it till the dried skin on her palm became soft and her wounds were no longer dirty but they were now neat and can be treated properly,
The Alpha King stopped for a second to stare at her, while she innocently stared back at him
“How many years did she endure pain to become broken like this?” The Alpha asked himself, staring at her, for the first time in his life he just wanted to protect someone so badly. The Alpha carried her out from the bathtub and took a towel to wrap around her, he held her hand as they walked to the room but Melanie kept bending like a monkey and was not walking like a proper human being.
The Alpha King made her sat on the bed, he dried her body with the towel, and went back to the bathroom to hang the towel, he came back and took a jar of oil, he poured some in his hand and was about to apply it on Melanie's body when she pulled back, the Alpha King looked at her in confusion wondering why she pulled back on seeing the oil,
“This is a fine oil that will make your body smooth, don't you want it?” The Alpha asked slowly looking at her, and that's when Melanie pulled closer,
“Why are you afraid of the oil?” The Alpha King asked but got no reply from Melanie, he sighed
“I hope that one day you'll finally speak to me” The Alpha King smiled lightly, even he was surprised at himself for smiling, ever since he saw Melanie, he found himself doing things he never did before. The Alpha King gently apply the fine oil on Melanie's body and when it got to the wounded parts of her body, he made sure to gently massaged the oil deep into the skin, when he was done stood up and got a pretty dress for her from the hanger, and slowly wore it on her, and right now she was looking totally different, the Alpha dried her wet hair which he washed properly while bathing her and then he tied it in a ponytail,
After dressing her up, the Alpha knelt before her with one of his legs on the ground while the other was up,
“I'll leave now, I'll have someone bring food for you” The Alpha said to her and stood up to leave but Melanie suddenly grabbed the Alpha's left hand, the Alpha King was surprised since it's the third time she's reacting since they came back, the Alpha King watched as she stood up, even though her back was bent because she can't stand properly,
The Alpha was surprised when she crumbled to her knees in front of him and bowed to her head,
The Alpha King was shocked and moved by her action, he knew this was her way of showing appreciation he walked to her and slowly pulled her up,
“I'll protect you from now on, no harm will come to you, nobody will torture you or make you do things you don't want to do, from now on you’re safe with me, I'm the Alpha King and nobody can hurt you in my presence, but I'll not always be here for you but I assure you that you're safe here okay?”
She didn't say anything but kept on staring at the Alpha, the Alpha King already knew that she understood what he said, he walked her to the bed and made her seat down,
“I'll have Abidjan bring you food, and tomorrow a medicine man will come check on your wounds okay?” And when Melanie did not react, the Alpha King smiled lightly, he parted her head and left the room.
Abidjan was standing outside the door,
“Alpha?”
“It's evening already” Abidjan said to him, the Alpha sighed, he never knew that bathing her would take so much time,
“Send her food, and make sure it's good food”
“Yes Alpha” Abidjan nodded with a bow, as the Alpha King turned to leave
“Alpha I have urgent message”
“Speak” The Alpha King Ordered facing him
“News has went around the whole of North that you brought back another concubines and the Six elders in council has demand your presence to come and explain yourself”
“And how dare the six elders summon me unaware, have they forgotten who Alpha King Balthasar is………? Since they want to exercise their power on me, they might as well have fun in waiting in vain in the council room, let them wait till they are tired and if any of them dares to speak bad about my name throw that person to the dungeon and feed his meat to my pet”
“Yes Alpha” Abidjan bowed in fear, the anger emitting from the Alpha's body can burn down the whole of North right now,
“Go and feed Melanie” Was the Alpha King's last word before he turned and left.
“Yes Alpha” Abidjan bowed and left immediately.
………………
Eve who has been secretly listening to their conversation fummed in anger, clenching her fist
“He couldn't even answer the elders in council but he's worried about feeding that bitch in there, I might as well end that lowly bitch's life” She smiled to herself and made her way into the room.
Melanie was still sitting on the bed staring into space when her room door creaked open and Eve walked in. Melanie remembered the strange woman was among those they passed by the entrance earlier, and she knows she does not have a friendly look instead this person looks at her with disgust just like every other person. “You're not supposed to here, this place is not for pigs like you, we are already five fighting for the Alpha King's heart and a nobody like you cannot come from nowhere and destroy everything we've worked so hard to built, now it's either you leave or I throw you out myself” Eve threatened her in a harsh voice. She expected Melanie to react or do something but she was surprised when all Melanie did was stare at her without saying a word“Are you that dumb that you can't hear me?” Eve asked impatiently and again got no reaction from Melanie, “Since you chose to be dumb I will show you how dumb people like you are treated” Eve growled and rushed to grabbed Melanie but
Her screams reverberated throughout the hall, her cries of agony and wailing of torture sounded like music to their ears, she was shaking in fear while they tortured her in front of the whole people, her whole body was dripping in blood, her sackcloth was now torn into pieces, out of all the cougars present in the hall, the men only wanted her to satisfy their sexual urge, she already served a hundred of them and she was tired but they whip her and forced her to continue pleasuring the men, and like an obedient animal she was raised like, she finally gave up and went back to pleasuring the men one after the other, while the cougar master and his subordinates sat and watch in ecstasy.The place is called the Cougar Empire, a place where older women are raised to satisfy younger men and pleasure them in exchange for money for the Emperor. The Cougar Empire is ruled by a heartless and powerful Emperor called Euphero. The Cougar Empire has raised over one thousand cougars but their most p
The Cougar emperor sat on the council with his five subordinates and discussed the next Cougar auction which happens every last day of every three months. On that day, the Emperor selects the best of the Cougars and auctions them out to influential young men from different kingdoms and the highest bidder of the day goes home with the cougar of his choice. “We have never brought out our dog for auction, don't you all think we should try it this time, she will attract a lot of eyes and they might be interested to know why she’s so pricey” One of the subordinates suggested, “Are you suggesting we sell Cougar's most treasured asset?!” The emperor questioned, his voice sounding annoyed“I don't think we should sell our money-making machine” Another subordinate suggested“How about this, on that day we will bring her out but with her cage and the cage will be covered with a huge sackcloth, and that way the young men will all be interested to see what's covered, and when they ask we will t
The shooting and exploding sound of fireworks in the sky marks the beginning of tonight's long awaited auction. In the big hall the Cougar Emperor sat gracefully on his throne while his subordinates sat on his right and left side, The crowd was mostly filled with young men who would be bidding for their favorite Cougars tonight. In the middle of the hall were a group of beautiful Cougars with their heads covered as they danced to the rhythm of the music as they entertained the crowd. As soon as the sound of fireworks ended, the music stopped immediately as the twenty Cougars took off their scarf and knelt down in a straight line with their heads bowed like slaves. The Cougar Emperor stood up gracefully “Gentlemen we present to you our special breed of Cougars, they are the best among all and have been carefully selected for tonight's auction, but before then we would like to introduce to you all Cougar Empire most treasured asset, the most treasured Cougar who can pleasure two hun
He slowly opened the cage and held out his hand for Melanie, looking into his eyes, it was the first time she saw someone looked at her with different emotion, a look that was different from the disgusting stares she get from people, a look different from the harsh and hateful stares she get, she doesn't know what this new emotions are, but it was the first time someone looked at her like she was not an animal, he made her feel safe, he made her feel like a human being for the first time in her life,And gently Melanie placed her dirty, bloody cracked hand on his soft and tender one, he slowly pulled her out from the cage, and that's when he saw how she was bending, she wasn't standing straight like a normal human being, she bent like a monkey and she hid her face in fear, He slowly raise her face as her gaze met his, he couldn't look away from her hazel eyes which held so much pain in them, The people gathered were all staring in surprise, the other cougars were fuming in anger and
After riding for close to two hours the carriage finally arrived at the North Villa, a place where the Alpha King Lives. On seeing the Carriage coming, the guards at the gate hit the heavy metal which serves as a bell indicating that the Alpha King Of North is back. The big gate was opened and the Carriage entered the North Villa. As the carriage stopped, one of the guards rushed and opened the carriage door, and elegantly the Alpha King step down from the carriage, he extended his hand to Melanie and this time she didn't hesitate before holding the Alpha King's hand as he helped her down.Melanie was staring blankly at the new environment, it was her first time seeing such a massive building in her entire life, it was even bigger than the Cougar Empire, although Melanie had no idea who the man beside her was, she felt safe with him.As they got closer to the North Villa building guards, maids lined up on both sides to welcome the Alpha King, and the Alpha's five concubine stood at t
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 fi
