Chapter 7 Have You Found Your Mate

Melody's POV

When he said he would be the one to bathe me, I swore that I would prove to him that I ain't handicapped but then my strength failed me. I felt so vulnerable when he called the butler over, then it felt like my entire world crumbled when I had to add please just for him to bathe me. Isn't that ridiculous?

An Alpha is reduced to the lowest level of life but then he isn't to be blamed, after all, he's only trying to help. Frankly, though, I could have insisted that no one baths me till Sherie comes back but then that would be doing more harm to myself than good. If not for the fact that the wound is likely to decay or get worse if neglected then I know my level of rebellion.

In all I can't risk my life for something as petite as this. I've gone so far as to die for nothing.

A part of me knew that it was probably because of the fact that I don't trust myself well enough to stand naked in front of him, then that electric spark that lights up whenever any part of his body touches me, makes me want to go crazy, yet this same person wants to bath me? My head is already picturing scenarios but then thankfully I can't stand on my own. If not, then the story would be a whole different one.

"We should have been done with this entire scenario a long time ago if you had cooperated." He voiced out as he pulled my gown off my head and I felt a fresh breeze wash all over my body.

I bit my lips, trying to stop myself from making a naughty sound. I felt his gaze on my body and instantly my body went on fire. I was expecting his touch but then he surprised me as he lifted me off the bed.

I clutched my body closely to him with my eyes closed, trying to keep my emotions at bay. He isn't my mate yet he affects me this much as though everything about him speaks an inaudible spell into my ears,that I can't stop myself from reacting no matter how much I try.

"Thirsty!" I immediately snapped my eyes open when I heard that. It felt like an echo, from a beast, I felt goosebumps all over my body immediately.

"What was that?" I asserted, couldn't stop myself from asking as I clutched tightly on his body.

"What?" He inquired as he continued walking towards the bathroom, perhaps I was hallucinating, was that my thoughts?

"I thought I heard something..." I stuttered but then he narrowed his eyes towards me, as though my words weren't making any sense, or were they?

"Never mind," I added as he kicked the door to the bathroom open with his leg and then walked into it.

"Do you prefer the bathtub or shower?" He inquired with a raised eyebrow while staring at me, I swallowed hard, trying not to make my thoughts visible to him though he looked as though he could see through me.

"I will go with the bathtub, that will be better. I guess." I muttered the last part while looking at anything but his face.

He walked directly to the bathtub and slowly helped me into it, I watched as he gently took off my undies.

I felt my clitoris clench on its accord, I folded my lips immediately to avoid a sound escaping from it, and I fixed my eyes on him. If only he would hear my thoughts then perhaps, his fingers could have been working down the aisle of my legs by now.

He took the shower gel and a bath scrub and began to scrub my back after which he began to scrub my legs, so skillfully as though he had done that before. I closed my eyes to savor the moment with my lips folded.

"Ahhhh." I snapped my eyes open immediately the moment that sound escaped my lips.

"Do you feel any pain?" He asked and I widened my eyes at him, my brain trying to translate what he meant.

"Ehhhh ahhhhh..." I found myself stammering like a dunce.

"Where does it hurt?" He repeated with narrowed eyes.

"Well, it was just _ just a slight _yes a slight pain." I feel like a fool right now but I just can't help it.

"Sorry." He let out as he continued scrubbing my legs then he went up to my thighs, he was so careful not to touch my middle part but I wanted him to.

He changed the water, so I could rinse off my body. He was about to carry me out of the bathtub but then I shook my head and he gave me that look of spill it.

"You forgot a place." I voiced out, throwing both caution and shame to the wind.

"Which is?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"My vagina is supposed to be washed." I let out and he stared at me for a few seconds and just then attaint and obloquy washed all over my body. I need the ground to open up so I can fall in.

"You should have probably done that yourself." He let out as he squatted down while still staring at me without a slight smile on his lips.

"That's if I was the one that gave myself a bath," I replied, not wanting to give up when I've come this far.

"That's reasonable enough." He pronounced as his hand returned to the water, I parted my leg waiting for the heavenly feeling, and I watched as his gut went up and down.

He gently washed my flowers with the water. Within thirty seconds he was done, he stood up immediately and lifted me in his arms. He walked into the room and helped me to a stool. Right now I feel so abashed, I shouldn't have said a word, this wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Let me get a towel." He voiced out as he walked towards the wardrobe, after a few minutes he walked back to me with a white towel.

I felt chagrin bestow all over my body as he helped me wipe my body. After doing that he took me to the bed, then walked back to the wardrobe and got a neat gown and underwear. After helping me with the undies, he brought a wooden box which Sherie also uses to dress my injury.

He began by cutting off the bandage while blowing air at everything he did. His skills amazed me. I couldn't help the smile that spread to my lips while staring at him, he looked so perfect without a spot.

"Can you operate and regulate what's going on in your park while you're here?" I asked out of the blue, he spared me a glance and continued applying herbs to my wound.

"Yes." He replied simply, obviously wanting to end the conversation.

"But then what if there's an attack, how will you get to them?" I continued not minding his reply.

"I have my ways." He said simply, I felt like punching his teeth off his gums, how dare he give me such straight replies, I'm trying to start up a conversation here.

"So have you found your mate?"
