Protect Me, Alpha King 160. Almost
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
Protect Me, Alpha King 161. Journey
“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
Protect Me, Alpha King 162. Decisions
“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

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

Hurt flashed in Maxxwell’s eyes and I had to bite down any sense of guilt as I watched him kneel. Harden your heart, River just like how he hardened his heart when he ordered Beta Valentine to bring you into the auction house, my mind said.Maxxwell heaved a sigh. “How long will you continue blaming me?”“Until you die. Your death will only make me happy, Maxxwell. I don’t care if you keep on groveling like that. Do it if you want to. I will sleep anyway.” Folding my arms in front of my chest, I released a sigh when Maxxwell stood like that. I wished I had the strength to mock him more and made him realize what he had done, but I could not do it. I am tired. “I will guard you while you sleep. Sleep peacefully. At this point, there are no related sightings of rogues. You are safe with me, River.”“Whatever,” I muttered and forced myself to sleep. --------------------I felt someone shaking my shoulders while calling my name, but the voice was too far away. Then, the shaking motion b
Protect Me, Alpha King 165. Loving It
The raw hunger awakened me as I was experiencing it. My stomach was hurting already. The baby was hungry, and I needed to do something to satisfy her hunger.Groaning, I got out of bed. Lazily. My body felt heavy. I could feel the slight changes on my body, but whether I became gigantic as a whale, I did not care about it. The baby was my top priority. Looking for my slippers, I found them under my bed, and realizing I had not changed my clothes, I slipped into a pair of shirts and pants and stepped out of my room.The kitchen was empty. Not surprising since it was already two o’clock in the morning. I opened each of the pots and found beef stew and fruits.My mouth watered at the sight of the food. Grabbing some plate and wooden spoon, I scooped some beef stew into my plate, chose some fruits—banana, and watermelon, and went to the dining room only to see the alpha king slowly drinking his alcohol.Fuck.Talk about the perfect timing. Thinking he did not notice my presence, I tur
Protect Me, Alpha King 166. Looking Forward
I was planning on evading the alpha king as long as possible after what happened that morning in the dining room, but the servant kept pounding at my door in my chamber, saying I should take my breakfast. Which means I would be seeing the alpha king. I constantly turned them down, saying I was still full, but when it was already the tenth servant calling me, I had no choice but to go there after being reminded that I hadn't eaten the beef stew and fruits after the alpha king had nearly eaten me first.My cheeks flushed at the thought.Dammit. Why can't I forget about that stupid kiss? Did I like it? Definitely that I had forgotten I was supposed to be hating Maxxwell.It's because you wanted it to repeat, another part of my mind said. You craved his presence and his lips. And his hardness against yours. Stop! Those were no longer my thoughts!I nibbled on my lips as I walked side by side with a servant.I was afraid that my hate for him would eventually vanish, and what would my si
Protect Me, Alpha King 167. The Princess's Arrival
I was walking in the hallway when I heard someone running. When I tilted my head to the side, what I saw made me raise my eyebrows. Nora was smiling in all ears as if she would say one of the happiest statements of all. Now that she had become the head concubine, she was getting prouder."Why did you leave His Highness when he hasn't finished eating? Done serving His Majesty to the best of your ability?" I taunted. "It seems like the favor is now on your side. Congratulations."She grinned from ear to ear. The words she was longing to hear. "Yes. Of course. I made sure His Highness is already given what he wants before I left him there."Was he not done eating? Did he have a stomach like that of a horse?Whatever. Not my business anymore. "What do you want, Nora? Spill it before I get tired of you. I have no strength to fight."Looking back and forth before saying anything, she says, "I know your relationship with the alpha king is shaky as of this moment, River."I scowled. No l

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
