Protect Me, Alpha King 156. Fists
River WilliamsAnother two deaths. Just like what had happened last night. Fear crept into my system. A series of killings. For what purpose?“What did your alpha do?” the alpha king asked.“I’m certain the alpha king was doing everything to solve the killings,” I answered. “All you have to do is give him some time, Your Highness. Believe in him. He is an excellent alpha who only sees what is best for his people.” I tasted the bitter taste of lies in my own words.My fist clenched. My loyalty would be forever to Alpha Raphael. Defending him to this bastard was my responsibility.“Time? Until then, River? Do you want me to wait and watch when every passing day of not solving the case meant putting you at risk? Not under my watch, River.""Your ego is the last thing you should think of at the moment, Your Highness.""Sarcasm will not bring you any good. Tell me about the bodies. Where did the dead bodies recover?”“Outside. Near the temple for the Moon Goddess, Your Highness.”“Let’s
Protect Me, Alpha King 157. Taking Side
“Your Highness! You are killing Master Raphael!” I exclaimed and rushed over to the alpha’s side. It looked like Maxxwell had the desire to almost kill him, if not because of me, meddling with the two.The beta stiffened and all he could do was watch as Maxxwell beat Alpha Raphael. One single move against Maxxwell meant waging war against the kingdom. Gritting his teeth, he continued standing there, observing what would happen next. The corner of Alpha Raphael’s mouth exploded. He squinted at the feeling of pain and gazed at the alpha king full of questions. Maxxwell’s breathing was fast while his fist trembled.Just as he was on the verge of punching Alpha Raphael again, I protected him using my body and positioned myself in front of him, extending my hands. “Move!” the alpha king growled. “Your Highness. What did my master do wrong?” I inquired, helping him get on his feet.Maxxwell bared his fangs at the sight of me helping the alpha. His jealousy showed in his eyes. His body s
Protect Me, Alpha King 158. Sweating
For the rest of the day, I thought the alpha king would leave me alone, but he did not. He was always by my side whenever I stepped out of my room and silently walked with me, maintaining his distance, careful not to anger me anymore.I was going to the kitchen, and in an instant, he was again following me.Fed up and the thought of him tailing me wherever I go was no longer appealing to me.Plainly showing my disinterest, I said, “Ugh. Will you please stop? You look like a lost puppy, Maxxwell. The servants are watching me as if I did the most horrible crime of all. You make me look as if I am a criminal who is always under your surveillance.” I tried to disregard it, but the majority of the servants were glaring at me now, but whenever Maxxwell met their eyes, hatred was replaced with fear for their life. “Just stop, will you?”“My priority is your safety, River,” he answered while looking at the surroundings.“Oh, please. I can handle myself.”Could I? Sunflower was still giving me

“Do you have to go that far?” I asked. “The beta is innocent. The chef is innocent. I am certain there is only a little misunderstanding between the two. Perhaps the way you looked at the people right now is enough to make them say nonsense.”“Your opinion is not needed in this matter, River.” “Whether you want my opinion or not, I have the right to say whatever I want, Your Highness.”The alpha king growled at me. I stood my ground.“Don’t be stubborn while I am still nice, River.”“I am also being nice, Your Highness. Do not ”“Now!” he barked.My heart hammered against my chest as I realized how scary he was now.Left with no choice but to follow his order, I scampered back inside the kitchen calling the chef.The staff jumped thinking it was the alpha king who entered but sighed in relief when they saw it was only me. I craned my neck and looked for the chef. “Where was the chef earlier? His Highness is asking for his presence.”A loud thud followed. My eyes searched for the so

My steps faltered.The alpha king bombarded me with questions but set them aside.There were far more important things to know at the moment.“Did someone tell you?”“The Luna.” Dawn. “They were the ones who kept on telling me that you might be pregnant.” Maxxwell smiled sadly. “If they give up, I would never have a sudden change of heart, River.”“Where is Dawn?” Goddess. I missed that woman so much. I hoped she was okay now. “How about Delta Isagani?” He was silent for a moment.“Don’t tell me Dawn is dead.”“No, no. She..she left the palace.”My eyes went wide. “What? Did she say something before she left?”“She did not.”I cursed loudly when the pain attacked again. Breathing heavily, I asked, “How about you, Your Highness? Do you believe this is your child? Let’s say I am pregnant. But you cannot guarantee this is yours,” I questioned even if he was the only man I had all throughout my life. Without a doubt.Without realizing it, his grip on my arms tightened. “You are hurting

“Pushing you to kill yourself,” I answered, my voice coated with pain. “He is capable of doing that.”In one snap, Alpha Raphael understood what I was saying. I did not tell him everything about my life, but I was certain, rumors had been circulating secretly about what happened during the Proclamation Ceremony. “I would never do that. I would rather die protecting this pack than do another thing.”I gave him a half-shrug. “Can I add something?”“What is that?”“Even if the alpha king had killed the one who killed the chef, something is telling me that the real culprit is walking freely among us. And that’s what you should solve, Master Raphael. You have to prove to the alpha king that you are competent and do not rely on anyone’s back.”Alpha Raphael dragged one chair and slumped. “There is nothing to prove, woman.”“There is. If you solve this case, the alpha king will never force me to go back to the palace. Please help me stay here. And if you solved the case, Master Raphael, the

“Looks like a true gentleman,” I blurted. “But in reality, you are nothing but an asshole, Your Highness,” I spat. The alpha king, perhaps he was already tired of arguing with me, smiled slowly and offered his hand. “Why don’t you just take my hand, River? You always have something to say in your mouth, don’t you?” “No, thank you. But I can walk on my own.” I slapped his hand away, but he stepped aside to give way. “Careful with your steps. This place is slippery. Careful. You will bump your head.” Rolling my eyes, I mumbled, “I’m fine. Will you stop treating me like a child, Maxxwell? I don’t like it a bit.” “I don’t want you to get hurt.” “Oh, please. You did hurt me already when you killed my sister.” It was too late to realize what I just said. Under my eyelashes, the alpha king’s eyes went flat. “I know,” he said under his breath. I gathered my hand together while the alpha king silently assisted me and was ready to catch me. Temporarily forgetting my irritation, I l
Protect Me, Alpha King 163. Not Fickle
RiverAfter surveying the inside of the pack house, we were able to count all the dead bodies. A total of sixteen bodies were either brutally killed or poisoned. No survivors so far. It was still a question of where they could be. Together with the alpha king, we stepped outside, only to see Alpha Raphael, who was back in his human form, but buck naked as a baby, slowly moving the bodies and piling them on the ground. For proper burial. Maxxwell tried to cover my eyes so that I could not see the alpha’s nakedness, but it was already too late. Besides, seeing his naked body was the last thing I was concerned about. Slapping Maxxwell’s hand away, and not minding Alpha Raphael’s current state, I rushed to his side. “M-Master Raphael. Did you find any survivors?”He shook his head.I clenched my fist. “I-if that’s the case, we have to go back and return to Riverside Pack to inform your father about this.”It seemed like he did not hear my voice. At all. He looked like a robot. Alpha

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
