Protect Me, Alpha King 103. Tears
The moment the alpha king and I stepped outside, I distanced myself from him. A safe distance where he could not touch me and disturb my emotions even further.We stayed as far away from the servants and any eavesdroppers as possible. Looking that no one was there, I said, “Say what you want, Maxxwell. Let’s get this done once and for all. I don't want to hear Zenith bitching over me and saying spiteful things," I muttered coldly. "And please. Sleep after this. I can still smell the liquor coming from your body." "I'm sober now." Both of his hands fell on his side.I released an exasperated sigh. "Don't make me wait anymore. I have a lot of things to do." I don't. When I come back inside, I'll be overthinking again until sleep knocks me out. “Honesty, I actually don’t know what to say, River. I just dragged you here. I wanted to talk to you. You've been avoiding me for the past couple of weeks. I miss talking to you.”My mouth went round. “What the fuck? Are you wasting my time? Go
Protect Me, Alpha King 104. Back to the Alpha King's Chamber
Alpha King Maxxwell was right.I was searching for the right time that Zenith would be alone, but she was like a leech who was always on the alpha king’s side, never leaving the man. It seemed like she was scared someone might steal the man away from her.As moments passed, I felt disgusted at how she would leech herself to Maxxwell. And the more I looked at them, it seemed like the alpha king was no longer comfortable with what she was doing. She was not even sensitive to what the man was feeling. Zenith was always there in every Council meeting. She was also instructing the servants on what they would do, especially now that her Proclamation Ceremony was fast approaching, which reminded me that I had to be there.Damn.It left my mind.Change of plan.I will leave the palace after the proclamation ceremony, and I will tell the alpha king about it. Suppose given a chance for that.A servant passed by, bringing some kind of flower. I was not fond of flowers, anyway. Blocking her path
Protect Me, Alpha King 105. Enemies?
Zenith only stared at me for a moment. "You're not going to say something? Will you continue pretending that everything I said was a lie?" I asked. She glared at me. "Who told you about everything?" Zenith asked. "It's not yet the time to tell you," she muttered under her breath, but I could hear it.I stared at the ceiling. "You are impossible. I can't believe you.""If I tell you the truth, you will stop me from achieving my plans."My brows furrowed. "What plans are you talking about?"Her lips pressed into a thin line. "N-nothing."I inhaled deeply. How will I continue to wait before he bares the truth? Tristan and Zenith must be exchanging some words secretly. Perhaps the woman was silently helping the rogue. How else would he enter the palace whenever he wanted unless someone was aiding him from inside? A shiver ran down my spine.Will this woman become my friend or my foe? I had to be sure that I would know which side to choose. "Please don't tell me you are planning a rev
Protect Me, Alpha King 106. Revisit
Without batting an eye, I answered, "Yes. I will fight against you if it is needed, my dear sister."Zenith’s surprise was replaced by anger. "You'll wage war against me?"I made up my mind. “If it would mean stopping you from your evil plans. I love you so much that I don’t want you to die. The alpha king will definitely kill you even if you are his mate.”Zenith chuckled. “Evil plans? Use your brain, River. Revenge would make our parents proud. This kingdom killed them! I am willing to die if it means destroying this kingdom.”I shook my head. I wanted to save this woman. I really do. However, her heart was already full of hatred. “If they are alive, they would be happy if we choose to be with our mates. They would be happy. Contented.”“Don’t speak as if you know them! As if you met them!”“That’s the point. You have the chance to be with them. You know them more than me. So please, stop your plans and back out. They never want any of their daughters to be killed.”“Never!” Zenit
Protect Me, Alpha King 107. Do Not Leave Me
Before I could react, Tristan was able to slice my face drawing blood. It was too late to dodge.He smirked and watched the trail of blood fall while I felt the stinging sensation of the wound. Damn. Raising my fingers, I touched the wound and traced the length of the damage. I just hoped I could still heal it without leaving any scars. But if it will remain, I have to accept it. "Bastard! Traitor!"“A word of advice. Do not believe the words of a rogue. Like your sister.” “Damn you!”Tristan cleared his ears. “That’s all you can say? Curse me?” He looked at the dagger. "You won't fight? You will die being a coward, then. But as a grateful recognition of your efforts for healing me back then, I will make your death as painless as possible, River. And in memory also of Melissa and Robert."And he lunged again. This time, I was able to prepare myself. I shifted into my wolf and landed on fours. He smirked at my beast form. "That's right. Do whatever you want to save yourself. Prov
Protect Me, Alpha King 108. Denounce
River WilliamsThe fast thumping of the alpha king’s heart was like a lullaby in my ears, drawing me to sleep. It seemed like it was only the two of us in the world, and it may be a sin, but I hoped the world would stop spinning so that I could forever have this kind of memory. I pressed my body against him, and if I died at this moment, it would be okay if it meant in his arms. Was I pathetic? Perhaps. The alpha king carried me as if I was nothing. There were times when he would run, and he would be back to walking while barking some incoherent orders to some servants. Maxxwell kept talking to me as if he was stopping to sleep, but with his warmth pressed against mine, I wanted to sleep. Sunflower purred beside me, doing everything she could to make my healing faster. That was one of the benefits of having a wolf. The recovery would be faster. I would do the finishing touches later if I had the remaining strength. “Your Majesty! What happened to River?” I heard it was the voice
Protect Me, Alpha King 109. The Heir and the Concubine
Alpha King MaxxwellDenounce.A royal would be stripped from her position by two circumstances. First, the king wanted it. Second. The Council and Elders had voted for it.I was even astounded by Denaro’s choice of words. That was a severe order coming from him. The way he said it told me he was serious about it.‘Zenith is our queen,’ I told him, while my gaze was fixated on Zenith. Her face was scarlet red.‘She is your queen. But not mine. River is my mate. She will forever be my queen. Heed my request, Maxxwell. Denounce Zenith,’ he pressed again. ‘Do it for your sake.’Why did his words change? When Zenith returned, Denaro was set on proclaiming her again as the queen. However, his tune changed. Why?What did Denaro know that I did not?Even if I asked him, he wouldn't answer me. That was the truth.“I don’t hate her, Your Majesty. Why would I?” Zenith said, bringing me back to the present. Staring angrily at my hand on her wrist, she added, “Could you please let go of my hand?”
Protect Me, Alpha King 110. Delta Isagani's Crush
“Well, what do you say, River?” Alpha King Maxxwell asked, looking at me with his hopeful look. “It’s not a bad proposal. After what happened to you, I realized how much you matter to me, River.” He held my hand and drew it to his mouth, planting a kiss on it. “I can’t live without you.”I clenched my teeth.No matter how much he put sugar in his words, it would always taste bitter on my ears. How could he?“River. Say something,” he pleaded, his nervousness showing. "Can you bear it for a few more years?"Before I could stop myself, my palm landed on Maxxwell’s cheeks. And before he could react, it landed again on his other cheeks. Hard.His eyes went round as he stared at me.“What the—”With my fist on both sides, I muttered, “How many times will you offer me that position, Maxxwell? Do you think I will accept it the second time? It’s not enough for you. You’re going to divorce the queen after you get married and have kids? What do you want me to feel? Glad? Joyful? Do you want me

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

“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
