Chapter 7 evil move

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.
