Protect Me, Alpha King 16. I'm Doomed
My head spun at the mere hearing of the word punishments. Images of my life at Haverstone Pack resurfaced again. The whipping. The kicking. The starvation. I clutched my chest as my breathing became faster. I did not want to experience those things again. Too painful.I staggered backward.I messed up. It was a simple mistake, yet bore a great consequence on my part.“Your Highness. Please forgive me for being wrong. It will never happen again, Your Highness.”His eyes glinted and turned sharply as a blade. “You will never learn if I keep on turning a blind eye to your mistakes, River. My personal servant should never commit a single mistake. You have to keep in mind that you are no longer in your pack. Your life will become different and more difficult here depending on your performance.”My life was always difficult even back in my previous pack. However, I just kept those words to myself. I inhaled sharply as my blood turned cold. “Your Highness. Please, I beg of you! Just this
Protect Me, Alpha King 17. Dungeon
“T-that bad?” I asked when I saw the twin’s expression. “What happened to the woman? Did someone kill her? Did the alpha king kill her?” I asked, continuously. A part of me wanted to figure out what happened to that woman. It seemed like if I knew about her story, I would know more about the alpha king. Knowing more about him would be a must.“Sssh!” the twins hushed. “The guard will hear you! If one of them found out we were talking about her, they were given the power to imprison anyone who mentioned that name.”“Why?” Was that woman powerful enough that the alpha king had decided to carry that order?Flare glared at her sister. “Clara. We are done talking about her. Pretend we did not say anything to River.”Clara panicked. She drew a couple of breaths trying to control her emotions and the only thing I could do was stare at the two of them.I did not understand why a single name carried that power even if she was already dead. If only I had acquired the same power as her. I want
Protect Me, Alpha King 18. Black Heart
“Who are you?” I whispered. "A-are you okay?" I mentally slapped myself for asking the obvious answer. No one would be okay just like that. How could he still have the strength to open his eyes? The blood—his blood dried beside him. I wanted to cover my nose, but I didn't want the stranger to think I was disgusted with him."Can you talk?"The least I could do for him was to give him consideration and mercy. It was too much. I wondered how he remained alive despite the blood loss.My head spun when I imagined the red and metallic blood.I gagged.I can’t stomach it anymore. My vision was getting blurry. Gasping for breath, I went to the iron bars and held them as if my life depended on them. "I'm sorry."“Did you suddenly feel sick after seeing me?” he asked, barely whispering. His breathing was shallow. He should be treated immediately! Why did the guards never pity him? They could have at least brought the pack doctor!I glanced in his direction.I hesitated. “You have to tend you
Protect Me, Alpha King 19. Death for Black Heart
The guard bowed at the alpha king while I stood, waiting for him to fully enter the dungeon.Hope flourished in my heart. Did he have a change of heart? Did he finally take pity on me? Or did he miss me? The latter would be impossible, so it must be the former. "Your Highness," I declared. His eyes darted around. "Your Highness," I said again when he did not acknowledge my presence. "It is a pleasure to see you here.""Are you really?" he asked. His steps echoed along the four walls of the dungeon. As if they had awakened from their slumber, I felt a sudden movement among the prisoners. The iron bars shook and made a screeching sound. "Black Heart!"I gasped. They did not even hesitate to call the alpha king by that name.Lips curling, the alpha king said, "Black Heart? If I did not visit this place, I wouldn't know I have another moniker."The iron bars vibrated and the captives started cursing the alpha king for imprisoning them inside the dungeon.The other guards were all ov
Protect Me, Alpha King 20. Nobody
The man was suddenly on his feet, testing his shoulders if it was fully functional, and smirked. He jumped and danced to soundless music and smiled in triumph when he realized he was fine. "The world is full of surprises," he snickered. Gone was his voice which sounded like death and was replaced by something lively. He jumped again as if he was a child, then stared at the ground and saw the maggots, then stomped the maggots around him.I shivered and felt disgusted looking at what he had done. The urge to throw up resurfaced. "Stop that!" I chastised while covering my mouth. With my hand on my mouth, I stared at him longer. He looked even younger. It seemed he and the alpha king had the same age. His hair was greasy, which looked like a bird’s nest because of the dirt clinging on each strand from not taking a bath for so long, was unusually long and reached past his shoulders. His nose was crooked as if he had been to countless fights. And above all, he smelled blood.He beamed,
Protect Me, Alpha King 21. Explosions and Escape
“Is that true, River? You healed the rogue?” the twins asked at the same time. “Did the alpha king know about this? You should tell him, River. You will be a great asset to the alpha king. You will gain his favor!” they said, their eyes twinkling. My eyes darted from side to side. Anything but not their questioning gaze. I hated lying straight at their faces. It made me feel sick, but what could I do? I had to protect myself. Damn that rogue! I knew it. He was never the type who would keep a secret. I gave them a small smile. “I am not. I do not have that ability.”“All good. There’s nothing to treat now. The wounds healed cleanly. I thought you said this person is dying?” the doctor who examined the rogue announced. The guard looked at the rogue confused. “I was definitely right. I saw it with my own eyes.”“His wolf helped him. That’s the only possible explanation right now.”“But…”The doctor packed his bag and went to the other cell. The guard who was guarding him told me he
Protect Me, Alpha King 22. Taking a Bath
I hastily stood and faced the alpha king, and bowed. It turned out he was not the only one. On his side was another man. It was the prince— Elijah. Back then, I saw him as the playful one, but this time, it seemed he turned into someone serious. His movements were alert, constantly looking at the side for any potential enemies. Other than Elijah, there were no more warriors. "Your Majesty," I said, reminded of what the rogue had taught me. It should be Your Majesty. Not Your Highness. "You're here. It's too dangerous to be out in the open. The rogues are attacking the dungeon!"How did he find me here? Did he see I was talking to the rogue? Possibly not. If he did, he wouldn't be talking to me now. The words of the rogue echoed in my mind. He wanted this person dead. Alpha King Maxxwell cocked his brows. "They can try, but they won't succeed. My warriors are already working. Who were you talking to earlier, River?"My heart skipped a beat. Did he see it? No. He did not. Try to a
Protect Me, Alpha King 23. New Responsibility
Bath in the water? With him? Looking up, I examined the alpha king's face, looking for any sign that he was kidding.He was not.His dark eyebrows were perfectly still, as his gaze bore into mine.Oh, Moon Goddess. What kind of punishment was this?I chuckled, trying to hide what I was feeling right now—anxiety.I hid my hands behind my back as images of what he was asking flashed in my memories. Me with the naked alpha king. Inside the tub. "Your Majesty…is that for real? Like really? I will join you in your bath?"The tension spread on my body and rested on my neck, and put my hands on that part to ease the pain. Damn it. When I entered this palace, it was not my mission to flirt with him so that he would want me and would give me anything I wanted. All I wanted was his help so that I would know something about my parents. He moved his head from side to side. "It is. I never joke around, River. It's such a waste of my time."I gulped as my gaze darted to his nakedness. His d

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
