Protect Me, Alpha King 128. Pointed
“Did you not hear? Your beloved twins betrayed you. The two whom you treated as friends but betrayed you in the end. I remember they told the alpha king before that a slave like myself does not deserve his mate.”Clara and Flare.How could they?All along, they were playing with my emotions.My hands trembled. “I regret knowing you,” I spat. “It would be better if I am alone than knowing the only living relative I have continued hurting me emotionally. You do not deserve to have a sibling.”My chest felt like it was stabbed a thousand times. The pain ran deep to the bottom part of the chest. There was no way I could bring Zenith back into the light. The queen checked her fingernails. “Oh, please, River. That’s too late to say that. You have no choice but to deal with me. The twins said you had been prying your nose about me, asking anyone about me even if the alpha king said everyone is forbidden to talk directly about my name. You broke the roles. Continued being stubborn. Maybe tha

I forgot how to breathe as I watched how the tip of the alpha king’s sword shook as he continued pointing it at my sister.“No!” The alpha king’s eyes widened when he realized it was me. “Please, Your Majesty. She is your mate.”Killing your mate looked like you were burying yourself. However, the alpha king had no issues with it.The alpha king’s moniker suddenly flashed in my mind.Black Heart.Looking at him now made me agree with that name.His eyes were unwavering. Like he was set on punishing the brainchild of the creator of this mess.“I don’t have a mate who is a betrayer.”Kneeling beside my sister, I held her shoulders while looking at the alpha king, begging to spare her.Blood dripped from the alpha king’s wounds on his face, but it seemed like the alpha king did not even bother about it.“Stay away from the betrayer, River,” he said, his voice void of any emotions.Maxxwell always showed his affection toward Zenith. Of how he mattered so much in his life. Of how he loved
Protect Me, Alpha King 130. The Queen's Fate
Warning: Violence Ahead.-------------------------If I had to embarrass myself and beg a couple of times to change the alpha king’s heart, I would. Just to save Zenith.“Your Majesty, please. Don’t make me choose.” Tears fell from my eyes. Not crocodile tears, but real tears.“River. You don’t have to cry for me,” Zenith said in the background. She sat on the floor. And now I realized she was wounded in her leg. The wound was deep and glaring at me. She was injured, but how could she kneel earlier?Oh, Moon Goddess. I wanted to throw up. Maxxwell returned the bloody sword to the sheath. His eyes told me all. He thought I also betrayed him. Final. “No. You pick your side,” he answered. “There are only two sides to the coin. It’s either head or tail. Your sister opted for the other side. How about you?”I shook my head. “Why does everyone want me to handpick?”“Because that’s the way it is in the palace,” Beta Valentine answered for the alpha king. “The alpha king does not take light
Protect Me, Alpha King 131. Gloomy Future
Did I regret rejecting the alpha king? Others will do. But for me? No. Definitely not. Instead, despite the pain of the serving of our ties, I felt…good. He may act casually as if he does not care, but the effect of rejection has already started. Suffering. He will experience deep agonizing pain just like what I experienced before. This was comparable to losing his mate because of death. This was my way of avenging my sister—punishing the alpha king.Sunflower howled in the background. She did not like the turn of events. She was more affected than me. 'It's okay, Sun. It's okay. He deserved it.'She looked at me with bloodshot eyes. 'My feelings did not matter to you. I hate you. I will never talk to you. Ever,' she said and suddenly was gone.My mind suddenly felt empty. And for a moment, I regretted my actions. What if Sunflower will also leaves me?'Sun?'No response. My heart hammered against my chest. 'Sun?'My breathing labored. "River!" Dawn berated. "What have you done?"
Protect Me, Alpha King 132. It Is Done
Alpha King MaxxwellThe beast was howling inside, feeling the pain of the severing of ties. Despite that, my heart and my wolf were calling for River. Zenith died, but Denaro was more affected by what happened to the other woman.I never expected someone would reject me. I was the alpha king—the king of the kingdom of Vernice. Only River had the guts to reject me without batting an eye. To say I was offended was an understatement.'You are fooling yourself, Maxxwell. Who says you are offended? Your pride and ego won't accept that you are dying inside because of losing two mates.'I inhaled deeply as I watched the sunset ahead of me. The sun's rays looked like blood splattered all around the sky. Just as how real blood decorated the Great Hall.Images of the gruesome scenery flashed in my mind. ‘Are you listening to me?''Yeah, I am listening,' I answered curtly to make him shut up. The last thing I wanted was to hear whining from him. 'Go after her!’ Denaro growled as a single tear

“That’s enough, River. Maligning the alpha king will not help you.”“It will give me the satisfaction of hurting him even more. Do you know what I want to do with your alpha king? I want to rip his throat and crush him with my hands.”Beta Valentine gritted his teeth. “That’s enough.”“Does it hurt hearing it from me? I told him once, but he would never believe me!”“That’s enough, I said!” the beta raised his voice. Master Henderson’s eyes darted back and forth between Beta Valentine and me. “Is there something I have to know?”“Nothing except you will sell this woman. As soon as possible. The alpha king wanted her to be gone from his sight.”Master Henderson’s brows furrowed. “This woman is not a slave, Beta. Only slaves are sold here.”“She is. No more questions. Another more question and I will cut off your tongue.”Like his master. The man paled. Master Henderson stepped back. “My apologies. If she’s clean, I will make sure she will be sold. These past few days, the vampires ar

“I don’t think you can demand here, Your Grace. If Master Henderson finds out about this, he will punish me.” The woman trembled as if recalling the painful incident. My eyes darted to her wrist and saw burned marks. Damn that bastard. Did he not stop abusing his people? My eyes narrowed. “I don’t get you. Earlier, you told me to escape, yet you are here, afraid of what your master will do to you after asking you for some favor.”She hung her head low and let go of her pen. “I think that perhaps someone can get you out of here. I don’t want any more slaves to suffer. I saw enough.”"What a hypocrite." I scoffed. Her eyes widened. "I am not, Your Grace. I am only concerned for you," she mumbled. “Even if I have someone to save me, I do not want to jeopardize her life.” I stared at my hands. “I’ve seen a lot of blood and carried them every day. It’s already too much for me to handle. The guilt is killing me.”The woman’s eyes softened. “Your Grace. I wish…I could help you.”“You wa

Alpha Erik? Was he not dead? How? "Wait!" I called Dion, but he no longer listened to me. Left with no choice, I ran after him while my heart hammered against my chest. It beat loudly that the only thing I heard was the fast beating of my heart. Back then, when I gained my consciousness, all I saw was the queen, the alpha king, but never the rest of the traitors of the kingdom. That was why I thought they were all dead since the alpha king would never allow his enemies to be breathing. I forced my feet to run faster and was side by side with Dion."Who brought Alpha Erik to this place?"Was it Beta Valentine? Or Delta Isagani? Or the alpha king? Who?Everything was confusing to me now. Dion glanced at me. "I don't know, Miss. I was not here when he arrived today."Today. The same day I got here. Probably because it was from the alpha king's orders. But why did he not kill Alpha Erik? "You two! Do you think this is not serious?"Dion and I looked at each other. "My apologies,

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

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
