Protect Me, Alpha King 137. Changing His Mind
River WilliamsIf I were the only one being auctioned, it would be okay for me. But the others…why did it feel like I had to save them? That the responsibility was on my shoulders? “I’m scared,” Dolly opened up. “Shhh.” I rubbed her back and thought of any words that would console her. I felt the tremors of her body. Suddenly the door burst open. It was Dion again, wearing his apologetic look. He hesitated as he watched everyone. “Why are you here?”Dion stared at me. “Master Henderson is asking you to prepare yourselves. Any attempt to run away will be killed on sight.”The women wailed.Dion shuddered. Pain exploded in his eyes, watching the women. “I’m sorry. I’m only the messenger.”Messenger. That was why he was always around. Was he also a slave like us?Dolly suddenly grabbed my hand. “Please? There is no time.”Shaking my head, I backed away from her. “No one will help us.”“The alpha king?”“He won’t.” Only a miracle will change his mind.Dolly looked away and went to C
Protect Me, Alpha King 138. Your Fault
Alpha King Maxxwell"Come again?" I asked, not believing my ears. I stood, sauntered towards him, and was in front of the beta. "Repeat what you said," I ordered. Beta Valentine gritted his teeth. "I will save the queen. I said."I scoffed. "Queen? This kingdom has no queen.""River Williams. She is the queen for me, Your Majesty. My wolf recognized her as my queen. Not Zenith. He is forcing me to save her and he won't stop until I give in."Why did everybody want to help the traitor? They were blinded by their emotions. Fool. "Why would you save her? Did I tell you, too? Tell me your reason so that I can understand it."The beta looked me in the eyes. "Did she no longer hold any feelings for you, Your Majesty?""Out of your concern," I growled. Wanting to escape from the beta's prying eyes, I sighed and went to the window, and stared below. The servants were hanging their washed clothes under the sun. "Your Majesty—""She is a traitor. She betrayed the kingdom.""It was her sist
Protect Me, Alpha King 139. Do We Know Each Other?
"Everyone! Behold! Queen River Williams, Her Grace!" The crowd went dead silent. The flickering lights around me were blinding, making me squint. The man’s voice kept on ringing in my mind. Queen. I knew it was only a sales talk so that I would be sold for the highest bid. Such a disgrace to my sister’s loving memory. She will only be the queen. No one else. Not me.I backed down and looked at the back, but instead of seeing Dion, it was back to the original. "Everyone, River is also the second-chance mate of the alpha king. Yes. You heard it right. Not only did he have one mate. But two!"The host chuckled. "He sure is favored by the Moon Goddess."I let my eyes roam around. The majority of the crowd was composed of men giving me curious gazes. I tried to sniff the air. Werewolves and I smelt the foul stench of the blood-sucking vampires. Looking them in the eyes was enough to make my skin crawl. I hugged myself as their stares penetrated the clothes I was wearing. It was a

"Do I?" the alpha asked. The corner of his lips lifted. “What do you think?”My brows furrowed. "I am the one asking. Who are you, sir?" I inquired. Was he as heartless as Alpha Wade? And speaking of that bastard, I wondered what happened to Alpha Erik. Did he die? I no longer see the doctor and forgot to ask Dion about the alpha’s whereabouts."Sir? Is that how you address your new master? Don't make me regret my decision to buy you. Or do you prefer that those blood-suckers buy you? I can ask Henderson to return you."That was acceptable as long as the transaction did not exceed twenty-four hours. However, I don't want to return to that greedy bastard who only thinks about business and profit. "What do you want to do with me?"He shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know. I will think about it.” My mouth fell open.Was he serious? He just bought me without thinking about how I could benefit him. Impossible. An impulsive buyer showing his wealth by buying me? “What can you do?”I smir
Protect Me, Alpha King 141. Riverside Pack
“A ghost, you say?” Alpha Raphael asked. “Ghosts do not exist.”They may not, but a child with me? Ridiculous.“Yes. As you said earlier, you saw a child which I didn't even see.” I looked around in an attempt to see what he was trying to see. The auction house does not even have children. Alpha Raphael’s eyes darted at my stomach. Scowling, I asked, “What are you implying? That I am pregnant? Impossible.” I chuckled. “If it is true, I can feel it.” I would know. Right? This was the body we were talking about. “Is it really impossible for you to be expecting? Werewolves get pregnant faster than humans. Especially if the act happened during the heat cycle of the woman.”A child with the alpha king? The idea bothered me to the highest level. A slave with a child would be worse. The child may be given for adoption or be killed or sold in the auction house. The three were out of the equation. I will keep my child with me if what they said is true. However…the idea was unsettling. I
Protect Me, Alpha King 142. Return
Completely not understanding the two’s exchanges, I raised my hand, trying to get their attention.I could not still continue listening to them. “Master Raphael. My apologies for my boldness. I know I am a slave, but I want to know what is happening? What are you two talking about?”The two looked at me. “This does not concern you,” Alpha Raphael answered quickly. The beta scratched his neck. “It concerns her, Alpha Raphael. She is the queen. The conflict and problem will start with her.”"Why?"The beta balled his fist, and it looked like he was stopping himself from punching the immature alpha. “River no longer has any connection to the palace. She is now my slave. Not the alpha king. Not the bastard Alpha Wade. Mine alone.”After buying me, Master Henderson gave our new masters a piece of paper involving us— their new slaves, which had something to do with our lives. I did not think it was because the masters wanted to know us better. It was because they could now think of wa
Protect Me, Alpha King 143. Revelation
“Father! She is my slave! If I returned the woman to the alpha king, what would become of the money I spent? It would make me feel like I wasted all of them.”“We can more easily replace the money than lose our people. Remember that.”Not wanting to back down, Alpha Raphael squeezed his eyes shut and opened them again with the same determination. “Father. I will not return her.”Unfortunately, I had to side with Alpha Raphael. I made my expression the saddest and gathered my tears together. They did not fail me because, after a couple of minutes, I could muster them. To make it more realistic, I sniffed and whispered, “Y-Yes, Sir. Please don’t bring me back to the palace. I beg of you. I will be on my best behavior in your pack and pretend to be deaf and mute. I will not ask why you have that kind of hair color or why the women are not here.”Alpha Raphael scratched his forehead while listening to me, but he never interjected. The older man shook his head. “You don’t understand wh

Alpha King Maxxwell“Dawn. We are not yet sure about that,” Isagani chastised. He stared at me. “Your Highness, that is also one of the reasons why we wanted to go after River. We want to verify it. But the moment we arrived at the auction house, the auction was already done. There were no longer slaves. The servants would not talk. Their fear for what Henderson would do to them weighed heavier.”"I am certain she is now pregnant," Dawn insisted. "Think about it, Your Highness. If your enemies know about it, that she is carrying your child, they will make sure to use it against you." My blood went cold as my knees lost their strength. It buckled. Pregnant.The thought of having a child with River was like an eye-opener. A slap on my gut. My hatred towards her easily crumbled, like buildings being destroyed in front of me. The unfairness of what I did was like a punch hitting me hard. I nearly stumbled, the delta suddenly assisting me. I breathed deeply while I yanked my arms fro

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,

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
