Contract With The Masked Alpha

She trust me

KING

Ezra roared into the sky when Amelia's eyes flustered close, she looked unrecognizable covered in her blood. Not a single part of her body wasn't covered in blood, the sight was gruesome, unbearable to witness.

Ezra panted loudly storming to Zoe's wolf who was just recovering from the push. He howled in anger, his eyes, a shade of midnight black blazed with fury.

He shoved her back to the ground, tearing her forelimbs, and spat the remains to the floor. Her cries filled the wood.

'Ezra, leave her alone!" King thundered in his head but he shook his tail going for her again.

'She hurt her! I'm going to ruin her!' He answered, tackling Zoe to the ground. It had been a long time since he fought in his wolf and this excited Ezra. He wanted it, her cries sounded like a melody in his ear as he ripped her into pieces.

'Ezra, stand up now, you are the alpha governor! You are to protect not to hurt!"

Ezra sneered, clawing her face before standing up, King inhaled rubbing his face. This was one of the reasons he didn't like Ezra taking control, he wouldn't listen to him anymore.

'I want to hurt her!' He barked, retreating from her.

King wanted to do that too! So bad but he had to control himself else he would be labeled a killer again. He wanted to teach Zoe a big lesson for touching what was his!

Wait, did he just call Amelia his?

Ezra howled in anger and pain watching Amelia lying lifelessly on the ground, he crouched by her side and licked her face. He tensed_they tensed realizing she was cold.

'What happened to her?' He asked as his pur ran through her.

But King was lost as well. No, he mustn't be what he was thinking. She can't die! He wanted to change back to his human form but he couldn't because of his face, he wouldn't risk people seeing his real face.

"Alpha King!" Lopez arrived panting, Ezra acknowledged him and nudged Amelia.

"Amelia," He gasped rushing to her. He gathered her into his arms and glanced around. "What happened here?" He asked, confused at the whimpering wolf on the ground.

'Take Amelia to her room and attend to her immediately.' King ordered and then glanced at Zoe.

'Bring her clothes to change into and throw her in the dungeon, I'm coming back to her.'

"Yes, my king," Lopez affirmed after the mind-linking was done before sprinting to the palace with Amelia in his arms.

Ezra shook the blood from his fur taking another route that led to King's room.

The dark made it easy for Ezra to get to their room unseen, his bone cracked painfully as he transformed back to his human form, and his face burned badly but he held back the urge to roar in pain. He had grown past that stage, that was when he just attained his wolf and the transition was always painful. A decade and a half later, he had gotten used to it and saw it as nothing.

He left for his ensuite bare naked, he buried himself in the bathtub and stared at space reminiscing on what happened today. He couldn't believe what happened today, what could have transpired between Amelia and Zoe? He remembered warning Zoe not to step into the palace again, what the hell was she doing at the palace today?

He had led his troops that seized some soldiers laundering money to Thomas' pack. After thorough investigation, none of the soldiers confessed who their commander was and Thomas claimed to have known nothing about the money. After all, the money wasn't found in his palace.

The matter got him so riled up and tired, that he fell asleep on his desk when he was working.

Her voice was softly spoken in his head at first until he heard her cries and sensed her panic over the connection. He had to snap awake and Ezra took control without even asking for permission.

He changed the water to clean one, dressed up, and fixed his mask before stepping out of his room and meeting Lopez waiting by his door.

"Amelia had been treated in her room and Zoe had been put in the dungeon." He announced falling behind him.

King nodded. "How is she?"

"Still unconscious. Hazel and her maid were with her when I left."

King halted, turning slightly. "Hazel is back?"

A slight smile appeared on Lopez's face at the mention of Hazel. "Yes, she got back this evening with Halo." He said and King chuckled lightly. "She was coming to greet you but I told her you aren't taking any visitors." He quickly added.

King said nothing, he continued walking with his hands crossed behind him. Lopez was finding excuses for Hazel again to cover up for her. He wondered how they got there, Hazel couldn't wait by his door to visit her beloved brother who got her a juicy vacation.

The guards at Amelia's door bowed quickly when they sighted him. "Your majesty." They acknowledged pulling the door open in a swift motion.

The room reeked of medicine,

Amelia's maid stood at a corner of the room whimpering while chewing her fingers, Hazel sat on a stool beside Amelia, her fist folded in a tight fist, as she sat in anger.

They stood straight, bowing their heads in respect as he walked deep into the room. He stared at Amelia and he grimaced at her wounds.

'Poor soul' Ezra whimpered in his head.

Amelia looked unrecognizable, her arms and legs were bound in a white bandage that now had an orange hue on them. Her beautiful face that always brightened up was dull, reddish, and swollen. It was only her face that didn't have wounds and he was glad for that, Amelia would have hated herself seeing scars on her face.

He didn't lift his gaze from her as the trio left the room.

"Dad," She whimpered shifting uncomfortably on the bed. "It hurt."

"Amelia," King called softly, sitting on the bed with her, rubbing her temple. He felt sorry for her, and angry on her behalf.

She knew nothing, she was suffering all because of him. He had a lot of questions for her, why didn't she defend herself when Zoe attacked her? Why was she being timid? Letting everyone cross her and get scot-free.

"It hurt!" She whimpered again clutching the bedspread, and King felt a pang in his chest. He didn't know why it hurt to see her in pain.

He wanted to crush Zoe for letting him feel like this towards Amelia.

"It won't anymore." He promised unclutching her hand, but Amelia grabbed his fingers instead. He tensed and tried to remove them but she tightened her hold on him.

Her whimpering reduced and she inhaled, getting comfortable. "King," She murmured sleepily.

King stiffened, shocked. How did she know it was him even in her unconscious state? She trusted him not to harm her.

She had mastered his scent and didn't see him as a threat, what could he have done that made her trust him this way? No one had trusted him this much.

He got out of his shoes and lay down beside her, Ezra purred in his head enjoying the other gender's company.

"Just some minutes." He promised himself as he moved closer to her. "Just some moment before I stand up." He repeated engraving the words into his brain.
