Chapter 20 he is repulsive to women
Amelia’s P.O.V. (Continued)
“You investigated the life that is in front of the whole world, my king. You don’t know a thing about my true self. Even….even if this will be a contractual agreement, I know all the pros and cons of the situation that we have to face together. I am not a good fit.”
I almost yelled at him in panic; my breathing was ragged, and I felt as if my head would explode at any time.
“You saw how badly my body reacted to just normal touch of yours. My psychological baggage is heavier than I can carry, my king. I looked normal, but my body is completely broken from the inside. All I have is some fighting skills. Other than that, I am nothing but a broken vase.”
I panted heavily in the end, tears filling my eyes, making me close them again.
“Calm down, first.” He commanded, and I shut my mouth.
“Just relax. Take a deep breath.” He continued calmly. My body went on autopilot and did as he commanded.
“Now exhale slowly.” He commanded next when I took a deep breath.
I did what he asked. “Do it a few times. Vacate your mind from all the thoughts and let your inner silence ease your heart.
I felt dizzy and sleepy while doing what he asked.
His voice sounded like a lullaby that I could listen to all day long.
I yawned aloud after some time.
“I know what I am asking you, Amelia, and it’s not like you need to agree to my terms today. And trust me that it will not affect our meeting tomorrow.” He assured me, and I relaxed more.
“You are everything that I want in my partner to present in front of the world. Take your time before agreeing to this proposal.” He added the next and I frowned.
“I am not asking you, Amelia. I am telling you what you need to do in the future.” I sucked in a breath after listening to his explanation.
“Do you really think that your people will immediately accept me as your girlfriend if you take me to them now?” I asked him mockingly, bitterness evident in my tone.
“I know that very well.” He replied and I scoffed internally.
“Here is the plan. At the end of the next week, I will sign a contract with your security company, and you will come here as my personal bodyguard and assistant. Your authority will be equivalent to Edwin, and in two weeks or three, I will announce to my people that you are my girlfriend.”
I was marvelled by his plan. It seems that our king had enough spare time to watch the daily dramas or movies.
“There will be objections, and you will face hostility from all those stupid she-wolves, but I know that you can handle them.” He paused and I chuckled mockingly.
“Don’t you think that you are overestimating me, my king?” I asked him sarcastically, opening my eyes this time.
“King Alexander Thorne, the most powerful creature on the surface of the planet, a ruthless killing machine, skilled in so many martial arts forms, and able to handle more than ten types of different weapons efficiently, needs a personal bodyguard. Whom do you want to fool by this?” I knew that I was crossing the line, but everything that I said about him was true.
“Above all, Beta Hunter and Gamma Edwin are also powerful and efficient enough to protect you. They will crush me down the second you utter the word bodyguard.” I wanted him to face the reality.
“But you are the only woman whose proximity never bothers me. I don’t know if you believe me or not, but this is the first time in the last four years that I sat on a bed with a woman, let alone being intimate. With you around me, I will not feel uncomfortable or lose my mind.”
I blinked harder, processing what he said. I heard about it but never paid attention to anything out of the business.
So it was true that Alexander Thorne is now repulsive towards females.
I wanted to come close to him through business arrangements to plan the next step of my revenge plan, but never ever in my dreams I had thought about this situation.
“Wh… what about your wolf? You… you must take his opinion about this too.” I raised the question anxiously.
“Velan is more protective towards you than me, Amelia. That’s why I know that you are the only one who can stand up beside me and can help me shut the council up.” He replied and my eyes widened in shock.
Where the hell have I gotten myself?
“Rest for now, sweetheart. We will have a lot of time to spend together in the future.” He joked and I twitched my upper lip.
“And also, we need to find a way to make you comfortable with my touch. As you already understood, there will be situations where we have to be a little intimate in front of others.” He added further and my heart skipped a few beats in a row.
This was the scariest part of the whole ordeal.
He slowly stood up from the bed, leaving my heart in complete chaos.
“Rest well, and if possible, take a nap. Let’s have dinner together tonight.” He instructed me.
I just nodded absentmindedly and closed my eyes again.
I heard his footsteps getting away from me. I slumped my body and lay down again.
The door opened and I felt Arthur’s presence inside the room.
“Take care of her, Arthur. I will send someone to take you to me at dinner time.” I heard the king instructed Arthur calmly.
“Okay, my king.” Arthur replied anxiously.
The door closed after that, but Arthur almost ran towards me.
“He is here, Amelia. That batard is here.” Arthur yelled anxiously and I shot up immediately.
“He was almost near this wing when Hunter asked me to stay close to the room and walked away hurriedly. I followed him out of curiosity and saw Hunter stopping that bstard from coming here.” Arthur explained everything to me, anxious and scared.
My heart was now racing a marathon in my chest.
“What will we do now? We should leave now. We will find some other way to talk to the king but staying here will be dangerous for you.” he grumbled anxiously, and his footsteps were enough to tell that he was pacing rapidly.
“No. I am done running.” I replied to him resolutely after deciding what to do next.
“Amelia. This is not the time to be emotional,” Arthur grumbled hurriedly.
"Even when your face is not the same as your original face, he will recognize you and will kill you." he continued grumbling, worried and scared to death.
“I got this, Arthur. We are the king’s guests. Even if they all hate us, none of them is brave enough to go against the king.” I tried to reassure him calmly.
“But he is the king’s nephew, not some random pack member.” Arthur screamed, reminding me of their actual relationship.
