Protect Me, Alpha King 08. You Are Mine Now
I was stuck. With no way to get away from King Maxxwell's hold. It seemed like he was aware of what I was doing and his grip tightened. Damn it. I cannot break away? How can I break away?It was then that I realized I could not. Was he afraid that I would run away and stop going with him to the palace? Or was he only making sure that I will do the end of my deal since he did the same?I sighed. Regardless of the reason, I was not comfortable being with him. He was scary. "Your Highness," I whispered under my breath."Zenith... "I froze. A woman's name? Who could that be? Or was he only dreaming and calling a random name? No. He called the name with so much passion as if he knew her deeply. Curiosity got ahead of me and waited for him to say something more. Something that would give me more information about the woman. "F-forgive me...It was my fault."King Maxxwell trashed and released me from his hold. Sweat soaked his forehead and clutched his chest as if he was in pain. H
Protect Me, Alpha King 09. Kill Them
I could feel the stares of my packmates as they bade goodbye to King Maxxwell. They did not understand why the alpha king accepted me as his mate when in fact there were others out there who were more gorgeous and sexier than me as Alpha Erik said. Unknown to them, I already sold myself to this person in exchange for showing Alpha Erik that someone still wanted and desired me. "I wish for your safe journey, Your Highness. The coach was already prepared. But if you want a horse, I could offer you to find horses that you can use on your journey.""Coach is fine since I have River with me. I don't want him to be uncomfortable on our journey."He drew me closer to his body and the women sighed in envy. "Are you really sure about this, Your Highness? Perhaps there was something wrong with the Mating Ceremony last night. There was no way that woman could be your mate."I stilled. "Your words carry some weight, Alpha Erik. Explain. Are you River's mate?"Everyone held their breath. Inclu
Protect Me, Alpha King 10. I Hit My Limit
The rogues continued firing at us while I rooted on the ground, shivering in fear. My blood went cold as one of the bullets passed through and hit the seat of the coach. I shrieked. Breathing was labored. "River! Do not panic or it will kill you!"King Maxxwell continued protecting me even if it should never be the case. I should be the one protecting him! Not the other way around!I glanced at him. His eyebrows met. His fist clenched.My lips quivered, tears brimming in my eyes. "Your Highness, will we die now?" I whispered under my breath.He looked at me and scoffed. I shrieked again when another bullet grazed my skin and fell to the ground. "No one is dying, River. You have to serve me, first in return for helping you. Stay here," he commanded.Before he could go away, I grabbed his hand. I gasped when sparks flew between our connected hands. He gritted his teeth as he stared at it for a long time. What. Just. Happened?Confused, I pulled my hands and touched them. The alpha
Protect Me, Alpha King 11. Healing
Where am I?That was the first thing that ran through my mind the moment I unfolded my eyes. My head felt like it was spinning. It hurts so much that all I wanted right now was lying on the bed until it would disappear. However, I remembered that I was now a servant of the palace and I had to do my best before anyone would decide to bully me again. What happened?Images of what happened flashed like lightning in my mind. The rogues. The dead bodies. The limbs. The blood. The driver. The alpha king. Everything. My stomach somersaulted and wanted to release everything I had eaten this morning. Or did I even eat or not? I did not remember anymore."Oh, Moon Goddess. How long will I be able to overcome my indifference to the sight of blood?" I whispered in my mind.It was always my usual reaction at the sight of blood. Aside from not having a wolf, I had the peculiar ability to faint at the mere sight of blood. "Do you believe the woman to be High Highness harem?" one woman said. I
Protect Me, Alpha King 12. Would He Really Bite Me?
I inhaled sharply and turned around. King Maxxwell was up, his eyes darting all around."River," he uttered again. This time with urgency. "Your Highness!" I exclaimed as my heart hammered against my chest. Did he find what I just did? Did he realize it was I who healed him? Relax, River. It is too soon to panic.He heaved himself out of the body. He moaned. Because of the pain from his side? But I healed him. I rushed to his side, and snaked my arms around his waist, helping him stand on his feet.Ugh. Too heavy. He looked like a giant compared to me. "Why did I suddenly feel light?" he asked with a confused look on his face.I chuckled nervously. "Perhaps...the pack doctor did an amazing job of healing you, Your Highness. That's why you feel that way."He observed himself and without further ado, yanked the medical gauze out from his body.Looking downward, I stared at his left side...Both of us looked at his wound. Just as I expected. The only thing that was left was the lon
Protect Me, Alpha King 13. I Don't Want to be Your Mate
Excitement was killing me as I prepared myself for the alpha king's bite. I clenched my fist. Finally. After this, I would carry the mark of the alpha king and would proudly wear it like a trophy. The people would look at me with envy and some with hate. I did not care about the latter. They could hate me as much as they want. What mattered most would be the alpha king's mark. The mark will also save me from anyone's bullying. They will no longer hurt me.Staying quiet and kind will not save me from anyone's wickedness. Being cunning and using my brain would help me.King Maxxwell stopped mid-air. I felt his fangs retract, licked my neck, and rested his forehead against mine."Your Highness, is there something wrong?" I queried. "Do you really think I will mark you, River? Do you take me as a fool? I've been serving the throne for a long time, not needing a Luna with me. What made you think I would change my mind just because you came along? Huh?" he spat. My blood went cold. D
Protect Me, Alpha King 14. Smiling and Seducing
The twins gasped while I continued looking at King Maxxwell. I did not know what came into my mind, but it just happened like that. “You don’t want me to be your mate, huh?” the alpha king asked. “Do tell your reasons, River,” he said, emphasizing my name.Having him as my mate would be a big advantage on my part. His Highness could offer me the biggest protection I could get. However, in exchange, my life would always be in peril. “It’s because you do not want me, Your Highness. I don’t want to force myself to be with someone who doesn't like me. My mate rejected me once. I don’t want to suffer again another rejection.”One of the twins put her hand on my shoulder, wanting to sympathize with me. “You are better off with someone who will accept you as you, River.”“Or to stay single or unmated for the rest of your life,” the brunette, Flare offered.I gave them each a small smile, feeling victorious that slowly, I was gaining their attention and compassion. It would take another pu
Protect Me, Alpha King 15. I Need to Teach You a Lesson
“All, rise in honor of the alpha king!” They rose from their seats and bowed to him. “You can settle now.”The alpha king sat in front of them while I was beside him, gawking at them. The alpha king’s council was composed of two men and two gorgeous women each possessing their uniqueness. One man was clad in all black. His cape was adorned by the faces of men. I did not know if they were real or not, but they seemed genuine in my eyes. Was it only me who saw the faces eyes keep glancing around?The second one looked like a prince. Or perhaps he was one. I did not know. The other female was garbed in all pink. A mask found on her face was that of a werewolf and beside her was a real wolf who looked like it was glaring at me, baring its pointed teeth. How could I see she was a woman? It was not because of the color pink on her clothes but because of the intricate designs of her dress. The other woman was dressed in all white and on her side was a bow while the arrow was on her back.

Protect Me, Alpha King 190. The End
Alpha King Maxxwell“Your Highness!”The door slammed open, and Isagani’s fierce eyes entered my office.All eyes were trained on him. I was having a Council meeting, and it was a protocol that no one would enter the office without permission. “Your Highness!”“What?” I growled. The Council members waited for Isagani, and they were getting impatient. “Do it fast. I still had a lot of things to do.”“It’s about the queen.”I stood.My heart beat wildly. My blood went cold. “What about her?”“She is in labor—”Without waiting for him to finish his statement, I sprinted out of the office and went to the clinic. Why did no one tell me about it? Perhaps she tried to call me? There was a nagging feeling in my mind. But I did not know what it was. With a full sprint, I reached the clinic. The twins were already there.“Your Highness, we are glad you are finally here.”“I-is she okay?”Oh, Goddess. I had never been so afraid in my whole life. W-what if the labor will not be easy?“She is
Protect Me, Alpha King 189. Water Broke
“Your cervix is already dilated, Your Grace,” the pack doctor informed me after doing some internal examination. The moment I entered his clinic, he asked me to lie down on the bed and asked his female attendant to check me, he said, “Four inches, to be specific. The baby is already close. You will be seeing him a few hours from now.”The pain would visit me every now and then, but the interval of the pain was long. This was it.I was going to give birth without Maxxwell beside me.That bastard.He had always been absent. It seemed like he followed my request to stay away from me. After he returned to the dungeon, I rarely saw him these past few weeks, but he would ask the twins to check on me every once. While sleeping, I felt his presence beside me, bringing me closer to his side, and I would snuggle closer to him. The following day, Maxxwell was gone. Then I would think that maybe everything was a dream. Maxxwell never visits our chamber. He let me stay alone in our chamber.Tears
Protect Me, Alpha King 188. Contractions
Princess Leonora was irritating as fuck. She was pestering Maxxwell (when I happened to see them), asking him about foods she wanted to eat. Her pouts were the most irritating of all, while Prince Calixtro was always at her side, guarding her always.As much as I wanted to stay away from her, I failed most of the time. Unfortunately, it seemed like Princess Leonora always knew where to find me. To annoy the hell out of me.Was it not enough that he had already ruined my relationship with the alpha king? Let’s just go in the other direction, Quinn, I muttered to myself while touching my belly. I was about to go to the dining area, but it was still early. Perhaps the princess and her brother were still there. I had to control myself now. That included my emotions. Any moment from now, I will be giving birth. The pack doctor kept on telling me that I had to walk more so that I would give birth easily, which I was doing right now by evading the princess and walking more. I had to go
Protect Me, Alpha King 187. Square One
River WilliamsIt was resolved and decided (with my insistence) that the princess would stay in the palace until she gave birth. Prince Calixtro also insisted that he would stay at his sister’s side until that time, never leaving her side.I was amazed at the degree of their closeness to each other. If it was that beautiful to have a brother, how I wished I had one. After the heated argument between the four of us, I went back to the alpha king’s chamber while the latter tailed me.“My love,” he started again. “Will you please listen to me? My love. I beg of you,” he pleaded. I glanced over my shoulder. “Don’t my love me, Maxxwell,” I snapped. “Do you think everything will return to normal after what you did? I’m not happy about your infidelity. I thought you would never touch any woman again!”“I never touched anyone. It was only you. Like last night.”Normally, it made me blush when I recalled what happened last night, but now…it did not. We met servants along the way. They gave
Protect Me, Alpha King 186. Terrible News
I woke up later than usual.Stretching my body, I blinked a couple of times. Then, I smiled as memories of what happened last night flooded my senses. Everything was beautiful. The mark was burning on my neck. The severed bond was restored. My body was sore from our late-night activities. But it was one of the most delicious things that could ever happen.A slow smile made its way to my lips. Maxxwell was great in bed.I definitely love the sex and the different positions we did. Despite being pregnant, I realized I could still enjoy sex the way I wanted it to be. Maxxwell had taken me over and over again despite being scared that he might harm us. After reassuring him again that nothing will happen, he was back to being an animal. And I loved that beastly attitude. It was raw and erotic at the same time. My hands went to Maxxwell's bed space. Frowning, I glanced at my side. The bed was empty.The disappointment was an understatement. I was looking forward to seeing him when
Protect Me, Alpha King 185. Pleasures
Warning: Sexual content.---------------------Being the initiator of this kiss, I titled Maxxwell’s head and locked his lips with mine. I moaned as sparks flew between us.‘More. More!’ Sunflower screamed in the background, drunk by the pleasure because of the kiss. Feeling bolder, I thrust my tongue and reached out to his. Maxxwell seemed to know what I wanted. He nibbled my tongue, and I moaned in pleasure.My head was spinning at the intensity. Fuck.I wanted more than this!My hands traveled all over his body. Just everywhere. Everything felt hot wherever I touched, and Maxxwell shivered under my touches.“You like my hands all over you?” I whispered below his ears. I threw back my head when he kissed my neck and gave me tiny bites. “More than you could imagine, my love.”My love.One of my favorite endearments so far. I bit my lower lip when his big palm found my breast and gave them a slight massage.“Fuck. Why are you so good at this, Maxxwell?”Against my neck, he rasped,
Protect Me, Alpha King 184. Forgiven...at Last
I was about to laugh at him when I realized Maxxwell was truly scared. His body shivered.I turned serious. I loathed this man still, but why did I want to consider his feelings? Why did it feel like laughing at him made me a bitch?“Hey. Nothing happened, Maxxwell.”He shivered against my body and hugged me even tighter as if letting me go would make me disappear from his sight. “Are you okay?”“Zenith had already died on me. I could not accept it if you and my son would follow. I cannot fathom any more deaths.”’Maxxwell shook uncontrollably. Zenith. I broke away from him, and he looked me in the eyes. I was searching for something. But what? “Do you still love her?”He smiled sadly. “With all my heart. She continued to occupy a part of my heart.” He swallowed repeatedly and lowered his gaze. “I’m sorry, River. But Zenith will always have a space in my heart. We’ve been together a lot. I thought she loved me for real. And even if she betrayed me, I continued loving her. I’m sorr
Protect Me, Alpha King 183. Don't
I was right. The alpha king was in the dungeon and was torturing the man for information that he would or may not fish out from him. Even if I was still in the mouth of the entrance, I could hear the man's screams of torture.I wondered what kind of torture did Maxxwell gave?On the other side, someone was snoring peacefully despite the screams. I tilted my head and looked at Delta Isagani. He did not stop tailing me. "Is there like some kind of hidden room inside the dungeon?" For torture? "That is classified information, Your Grace.""Classified? How come?""Only a few chosen trusted men know about it.""I doubted it's a secret."Here it was. The alpha king's hideout for the meantime.The urge to see him again was too strong. I want to see him. With that in mind, I gathered the hem of my clothes and stepped forward when Delta Isagani stopped me. "You are not allowed to enter, Your Grace," Delta Isagani informed me. "Why not? I have been here a couple of times. Sleep in the dun
