Contract With The Masked Alpha

What Happened To You?

King

Hazel returned to King's office the next day, to report about Amelia to him.

He closed his laptop and held a soft gaze at Hazel, "So how was she?" He dived into the question hunting him since yesterday.

Hazel shrugged, "She didn't complain."

King fell back to his chair, he felt eerie that Amelia was agreeing to everything thrown at her. After her outburst yesterday, he expected her to be like every other brat Princesses that had come his way. They would warm his bed and try to open his mask afterward but they never survived it and not even her if she ever tried it.

"Surprisingly, she was happy about the room and mentioned that she slept in a cold basement before."

"Cold basement?" Lopez confirmed King's astonishment. "Is she not the Alpha of the pack? Isn't that what Thomas said when he was here?"

Hazel heaved a sign, "I thought so but that was a lie, Amelia's words were convincing though she refused to say much about her life in the pack."

Lopez knitted his eyebrow, deep in thought. "Then why did he lie?"

King watched as his Beta and his sister pondered on who was telling the truth between Thomas and Amelia, he knew something wasn't right when his father personally brought Thomas to him and that he would be the one to bring him a Luna but couldn't find out.

His sleek fingers drummed the desk as he fixed his gaze on them. "Finding out who was the liar is not so important right now." He spoke up at last and they turned to him. "Getting the key to where my father kept the book of spells he used in controlling the rogues is the most important thing right now and we must do that before two years lapse." That was reason he accepted to marry Amelia, now his father was going to trust him and relent.

"Yes," Lopez nodded. "I fixed another spy at Alpha's Owen house last week, though the guy hadn't gotten anything but I trust him."

King scoffed adjusting his watch."That's okay, my father is a smart man. Tell him not to relent, and let me meet him after this meeting."

Hazel adjusted on her chair, and King moved his gaze to her. "Is there anything you want to say Hazel?"

Hazel groaned picking her nails. "Nothing much, but Amelia hadn't eaten anything since she got here, the maids serving her reported to me this afternoon that she didn't touch what they have been giving her except the apples."

King furrowed his brow, "Are you saying she had only eaten Apples since she got here?"

"Four apples and water to be precise."

Lopez let a cackle. "Definitely trying to get herself killed, must have heard a lot of things about the ruthless Alpha." He winked and King threw him a hard glare while he laughed.

A smirk played on King's lips as he leaned on the desk. "Well, time to pay our suicide attempt visitor a visit." If she thought her plan of ruining his reputation was going to work then it's a joke, but he couldn't believe she would stoop this low to bring him down.

Amelia

Amelia walked to the bathroom while rolling her hair in a tight bun to wash the sweat from her afternoon nap away, she had slept a lot since she got here, courtesy of the good bed plus she had nothing to do, her eyes caught the two filled trays with untouched food on her way.

'Didn't she order the maid to come and pack them?' She pondered, she stopped eating good food after her father's death, and Nova forbade her from eating real good whenever she caught her. Nova would make sure she vomited everything till she was hungry again so she just stuck to fruit and vegetables till now. Now, her body system wasn't used to the real food anymore as she would puke everything out.

Amelia had a quick bath and was drying her hair with a towel in the room when she started dancing, dancing had been the only thing that kept her from boredom back at her pack.

She shook her head and twisted her waist to the off-beat she was singing, swinging left and right while laughing happily before bending a bit to tweak.

"A dancer and worst singer? Never knew you were both?" She heard out of nowhere and shrieked incoherent words.

"Ahh, s**t!" She jumped towards the sound, she melted seeing King standing in the middle of the room in a pair of jeans and a black shirt, and a black man on his face looking got as ever. 'Stop it, Amelia, don't fantasize about him.' She mentally warned herself.

His hands crossed on his chest, his lips tilted up in amusement 'When the hell did he come in?' She thought

"I...Good afternoon Alpha King." She greeted instead as every other word flew out of her head. "I didn't see you coming in?" 'You will have if are not so engrossed in your stupid dance.' She jabbed back at herself.

King scoffed dropping his arms to his side. "Jokes on you if you want me to answer that." He said approaching her, his eyes ran through her body and lingered around her cleavage for a moment and she was sure his eyes glint with unknown emotion, he lifted his gaze back to her. "You were agile for someone who hadn't eaten anything since yesterday."

Amelia wrapped her hands around her shoulders, self-conscious of wearing nothing but a towel. Her scars were visible to him but she didn't see resentment on his face. She shook the thought out and answered slowly. "I ate, not just real food but I have eaten something since I got here."

In a blink of eyes, Amelia's back collided with the wall, King looming over her, his hand beside her waist and the other one beside her neck.

Her eyes wide as her heart thudded loudly, "What...what are you doing?" Her voice shivered as she stared into his cold eyes.

"Did you think I'm here for a joke, you were not eating anything just so you could kill yourself and get me in trouble? If you think I'm going to send you back to your pack by playing strong. You are joking! Now you will eat like a normal human being." His harsh voice sent a shiver down her spine and she nodded her head vigorously, blinking back a tear. He pinched her waist. "Use your words, lady, am I clear?"

"Yes, you are. I'm going to eat."

He studied her for a moment before pulling away from her, Amelia shuddered as she moved away from the wall quickly, her heart still beating fast. This was exactly the Alpha that was described to her.

She watched as he fazed out for a moment and knew he was mind-linking someone, her mind settled when a maid came in with a tray of food, she thought it was someone who would punish her.

"Now eat!" He ordered nudging at the food the maid dropped on the coffee table.

Her eyes widened. "Before you, I swear I will eat."

He scoffed shaking his head. "Oh princess, I'm not taking a chance."

___

Amelia sprawled on the the bed, her stomach hurting badly, dried tears stained her cheeks as she clutched her stomach tightly. It's been two hours since King came to her room to force her to eat and she was left with a severe stomach ache.

She hated everyone right now, Nova for turning her into a messed up human, a harmless meal had turned her into this. If only Nova wasn't so wicked on her, she wouldn't have become abnormal.

A piercing scream tore from her when something was tearing deep inside her stomach."Damn, everyone!" Her scream turned to a muffled cry, she rolled on the bed and didn't realize she was at the edge until her body hit the ground with a loud thud. "Help me!" She yelled clutching her stomach.

The door yanked open immediately but she was in deep pain to look at it. "Amelia!" King's panicked voice made her snap her eyes open immediately, she was stunned to see his eyes widen as he stared at her on the floor. "Amelia!" He thundered as he got over the shock and rushed to her.

He crouched beside her, placing her head on his thighs, he swept the sticky hair off her forehead. "What happened to you?" His voice trembled, startled to see her in that position.

"King," She froze. He was helping, the one who had straightened their relationship, and even misjudged her. "You..." She stammered. "You are...

"Not now Amelia," He cut her off, lifting her off the ground into his arm. "You need to get treated first."

Her eyes drifted close as every power Ieft her, she heard him shout her name deep down her head.

He pulled her close to his chest before dashing out of the room. "Get a nurse to my room!" He barked an order to Lopez through the mind link.

"Your room?"

"Yes Lopez, to my room!"
