The King Alpha’s Mate novel Chapter 9

After that brief unpleasant encounter with Alpha Jack i stayed in the room waiting for the time when my family would come just like he said. I am anxious that my father would do something about my frightening situation. He's a hunter and i once saw him with a group of men fighting for the same purpose. But I don't want him to get hurt, I've seen how strong the Alpha is. In that vision that Maleficus showed me.

Feeling the hunger creeping in my stomach i opened the tray of food that Gemer left a few hours ago. It is now a cold steak and a steamed broccoli with some baby carrots that looks flat after it has gotten cold, with a mashed potato on the side. I wrinkled my nose and put the cover back. Then just grab an apple on the side table. This will have to do until the dinner time.

Feeling a little tired and exhausted i sat down the bed finishing the Apple in my right hand. I lie down half of my body in the softness of the fine wide bed with just my back, while my feet is hanging loosely on the floor. I closed my eyes hoping that whenever I opened it again I'll be in a different place in a different time. If only I could escape this place.

I fail to realize that my mind is slowly drifting into a shallow sleep.

I don't know how long i was out before someone came into the room.

"Carmela, wake up". A woman's voice echoed through my ears but I can't see her.

I moaned in protest and tried reaching out my hands then i grab something soft and the familiar fingers intertwined with mine.

"Huh! I gasped and opened my eyes suddenly. Then i saw my sister Hannah sitting down in the bed beside me. I am holding her hand.

"Oh... Hannah! You're here". I get up and throw my arms around my sister's neck to give her a hug.

"Yes I'm here, we we're so worried about you since the other day. How have you been? Are you feeling alright? She ran her hand through my hair and behind my back. Her voice a little worried and her body tensed.

"I..I'm fine but I want to go home. Did Daddy came with you?

"Yes, he is downstairs talking to the Alpha Prince Jack". I immediately moved away from my sister's embrace hearing how she manage to address my abductor like she knows the man herself.

"He's talking to him? Are you going to take me home now? I'm very much hoping she would say yes but she turned her head away from me before she answered my question.

"It's a little complicated Carmela, you are an Alpha's mate and not just any alpha but the future Alpha King of the Royal Pack". She blinked her eyes before she looked at me.

"What's the complication? Isn't Dad a hunter, he hates them. He should take me away from here. Please Hannah let me go home with you". I put my hands on her shoulders with my voice softly begging.

"I..i don't have a say in the matter Carmela, but Dad said there's nothing we can do. We can't fight the Alpha King, he is very powerful and his pack is the strongest. They will hunt us if we take you away, and there's no escape for us. There numbers are all over the world Carmela..and.
