The King Alpha’s Mate novel Chapter 5

*Carmela's POV*

I look at Maleficus with my eyes wide and teary but I don't think this old man is going to let me go. As he looked back at me with his eyes void of any emotions. I glanced around and saw the small wooden bedside table with a porcelain led table lamp. He might be an old man than can see the future or wave magic tricks but if i can outsmart him, i might have a way out.

I know that the wolf prince is around as i recall him saying he's got an important matter to attend to.

"I don't think i can be a wolf's bride, I'm just a normal girl trying to go to college."

"Please let me go".

With my soft trembling voice i beg him one more time and then i try to step back getting myself nearer to that object in which I thought could help me fight him and get out of this place. His eyes suddenly turned black and sharp as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Don't ever try to do that stupid idea in you're head Carmela, i maybe old but i know what your thinking and the alpha would not be pleased if i hurt you."

"Or maybe i can just make you sleep".

Maleficus give me the kind of looked that had evoke fear deep in my heart making me stop of what i planned on doing and making me stay still. Now what else can i do?

I put my head low and made a soft sob.

"Please I don't want to be here, my family is looking for me now. They might call the police and start searching for me, if you can just let me go so you can save yourselves from trouble."

"This is kidnapping you know, it's against the law. And Did you really think the wolf prince can marry me that easily?

"Oh, that's a question that only Alpha Jack can decide Carmela. Now, stay here and be a good girl I'm gonna send Gemer to bring food. You must be hungry".

To hell with the food right now, i am not feeling hungry. Specially being in this very unpleasant circumstances.

I walked back to the bed and sat as i felt myself slowly getting weaker in thinking of ways to do in order to escape from this place.

"I am not hungry"..

I replied looking away through the window glass.

The old man sighed.

"Making yourself starved won't do you any good Carmela, either way I'm still sending someone over to bring you food as what the Alpha requires".

Maleficus turned his back at me and marched to the bedroom door. I sat for about few minutes just trying to replay all the things that happened to me since yesterday, when a soft warning knocks was place at the door. Then it opened slowly, i held my breath and hoped it's not the Alpha Wolf.

A huge tray with cover came in view first then the figure of Gemer come out holding the tray in both hands. The smell of food filled the air inside the room but i have no desire to eat.

"Hi Carmela! You must be hungry by now, care for a late breakfast in bed?

He forced a smile in his face while walking slowly and placing the food at the top of the bedside table next to me. I followed his every move with a blank expression in my face and I asked myself if this guy can help me escape this place.

"How can you let that man take me Gemer? You were my friend, we used to have a really good time working together. You even asked to drive me home safe."

Without blinking i looked at him with pain and betrayal in my eyes, it might not be very long since i met him but I really thought that he is somewhat friendly and incapable of putting someone in danger.

"I apologize Carmela, I didn't know you are the Alpha's choosen mate. I'm sure by now you already know that we are not normal."

"We're uhm.. we are werewolves and our Alpha, Prince Jack is the person who leads our pack in this town. We respect and follow his command, because he protects us"

Gemer stay standing beside the small table where he placed the food. His voice sounded full of regrets and sincere. And i can hear a hint of insecurity in his voice.

"Still you can help me Gemer, take me back to my house please. By now my Dad and sister could have been worried sick thinking were i am. Don't you have any family too? Think about it Gemer, if you are in the same position as me and i have the power to let you go I would choose to do so. Because those short period of time that we had together made me think about you as my friend"

"And friends help each other, is what i know".

I am still hopeful i can talk my way out of this man that I considered as friend from work.
