Sold To The Ruthless Alpha King #WATTYS2018

Chapter 2

The maid helped April to her room and prepared a bath, new clothes and ribbon to tie her hair, for her. April had never had a more relaxing bath ever and she enjoyed wearing a plain, slightly embroidered, silky gown to bed. But something still didn't feel right, she felt like someone was watching her and indeed someone was but she ignored her sixth sense and Crystal blew out the candles and lamp.

"Crystal?" She suddenly called her and Crystal turned around and gestured for April to go on.

"Where's the Alpha King?" She questioned. This question surprised Crystal and April herself considering how much she 'loves' him. April regretted her question the minute she heard Crystal giggle and flushed a pink shade.

"Well, my dear Luna-" Crystal started but hearing the word Luna triggered an irritating emotion in April which wasn't quite pleasant. Anger.

"Call me April, Crys." April cut her off and Crystal smiled and nodded.

"Well, April... The Alpha King fell asleep in his study and doesn't allow anyone in there without knocking...but I'm sure he'll make an exception to you, right?" Crystal winked and smirked, shutting the door behind her. She left poor April in confusion. April lay in bed tapping her smooth index on her chin and contemplating on whether she should go carry the Alpha King to his room or leave him to sleep uncomfortably in his study.

She thought against it but something inside her just made her stomach churn and she threw her blankets off and slowly tip toed into the hallway. The palace seemed dead at this time so she found it safe to walk normally. She remembered where the King's study was so she walked in that direction not realizing that her cleavage was on show and so were her bare legs since the dress only reached right above her knees .

A creepy creaky voice was released from the wooden floor each time April took a step, she winced. This was not what she wanted to but she had the urge to, that doesn't quite make sense. Now, she was determined to break his steel walls and fall in love and also make him fall in love with her. A promise she made to herself. As she started nearing the wooden doors of his study, her hands became clampy and she was getting goosebumps. Nervously licking her lips, she rested her hand on the handle but didn't dare to turn it.

First she thought of all the possibilities. Hmph.

What if he shouted at her? What if he hit her? What if he killed her? What if he became a whole lot abusive?

Gathering up the little courage she had, she turned the handle.

She shouldn't have.

Right before her eyes the Alpha King sat on his chair and on his lap was the young Princess Sofia. They were kissing passionately yet fiercely and didn't hear her enter up until now. Tears ran down April's paled face. She tried to blink away the brimming tears but his act had got the best of her. How could he?!

"You-you-you.!!!" She stutter-yelled but her sobs broke in and she stumbled back, her silk dress tearing on a nail that stuck out. She couldn't believe her eyes. Not only did he reject her but he also cheated on her. She tried to run but fell straight on her butt. Princess Sofia wore a confused face while the Alpha King wore a bit of a guilty face. He lifted Sofia off of his lap and walked over to April who pushed herself away from him.

She felt as if someone ripped open her chest, scarred her heart deeply, threw it on the floor and stamped all over it while slapping her across her face and mocking her of her rejection.

"April." He said in a husky tone reaching out his hand to her but she flinched closer to the wall. Her crouched body treated his hand as if it were silver. A wolf's worst nightmare. She pushed herself away from his hand in such a rushed her dress, which was still hooked on the nail, ripped off completely but she still had on her underwear.
