Protect Me, Alpha King 169. Flower Garden
For a princess like Princess Leonora, who thought the world would always revolve around her, asking the alpha king's hand in marriage was a piece of cake.It was bold of her. Did she like him so much that she was willing to be aggressive about it? Something tugged my heart, and I suddenly felt bitterness. Damn it. Don't tell me I was jealous. Why would I?Princess Leonora looked at us one by one while raising her hand. "So...anyone who wants to say they do not like my statement? Or anyone who wants to object?" I do! my mind said, but before I could blurt out those words, I bit my lower lips. Her eyes shifted to me. "How about you, Your Grace?" There was sarcasm in his voice when she uttered the words Your Grace. Not wanting to be shaken, I asked while nibbling on the watermelon. "What do you want me to say, Your Grace? Are you certain you are prepared for what I will say?" Looking at me with a stubborn look, she said, "That you won't get in my way. You don't love His Highness

Maxxwell stilled upon hearing my voice. His expression softened, and he smiled as if he did not scare the princess. Or was it only I who was frightened for the princess's life? With heavy and fast steps, I sauntered towards them even if the other part of me said this was no longer my problem. Still…I could not help but pry. “You are here,” the alpha king commented. "I was looking for you, River. The servant did not see you anyway."Saw the other servants looking for me, but I hid. The alpha king did not know it. At least he was back in his control. “I happened to see both of you, and then you nearly lost control.”"Are you saying His Highness was trying to hurt me? Well, you are deeply mistaken."Talk about in denial. Smiling, I just did not react. I did not think she would be saying that the alpha king would hurt her. Or was he capable of that? So far, he did not hurt me."Good for you, then. I was mistaken.""Hmp!" the princess said and looked in the other direction. “What d
Protect Me, Alpha King 171. War
“Who are you?” I asked. “Why did you follow the alpha king and the princess? Did someone hire you to kill them?” I continued. The knife's edge was pressed more on my skin as if the bastard wanted me dead. "Are you here to kill the two?"If that was the case, that unknown person was giving me the pleasure of killing Maxxwell himself, but some part of me never wanted that to happen."You ask too much," he growled and breathed my neck.Repulsed, I tried to attack him, but the dagger sank a little into my skin. The little stench of blood wafted through the air, making me dizzy.Fuck it."See? I wouldn't hesitate to kill you.""Why are you doing this?"I should be fighting him or running away while I still could, doing something to distract him, but I wanted to extract more information from him.“Just a random stranger who wanted something.”"Release me," I said, clenching my fist. "I don't want to.""Why did you lead me here?""I did not. You're some nosy woman who has curiosity ahead
Protect Me, Alpha King 172. Back Hug
War because of the alpha king? Kingdom against kingdom? Could Maxxwell’s face launch a thousand warriors to a fight?Images of blood, no matter where I looked, resurfaced in my mind, making me nearly puke. I balled my fist, and my knuckles turned white. Calixtro yanked his sister to sit down. "You will declare war to have the alpha king?" I asked once again, disbelief in my ears. “All because of a man?”The princess lifted her chin. “Our kingdom had been declaring war on anyone who wished to defy our wishes—especially my wishes. That is no big deal, actually. That is how my family showed they love me.”Bullshit. That was stupidity. But I had to keep it to myself, or they would really wage war against the kingdom. No one had continued eating. Who would eat enthusiasm, especially if the topic was war? The princess was becoming more interested in the flow of conversation."War is unnecessary, Princess Leonora,” the alpha king interjected. The woman’s face brightened. “You mean to
Protect Me, Alpha King 173. That Evening in the Balcony
“W-what are you doing, M-Maxxwell?” I asked. This was wrong. But my body...I liked the feeling of this. I craved this. Craved for his touch and everything he could offer. But the rational part of me rejected this act. I felt his hardness pressed against mine—especially his shaft on my butt. Delicious. I closed my eyes for a moment. Damn it. Was this the effect of denying myself from his sinful touch?I was not asking for this. As if taunting me, Maxxwell rubbed his heavy erection on my butt making me moan. I clenched my fist as pressure started to gather and settled down there. It was already wet. My undergarments were. And my arousal because of what he was doing wafted through the air. Fuck. Why was I embarrassing myself? I should go and run away from this sinful man, but my legs wouldn't allow me. It continued to become stubborn and wanted to savor this moment which rarely happens between us. I want him. I stiffened when he sniffed my hair and sank his fingers into my crown
Protect Me, Alpha King 174. You Still Love Him
The princess's delusion was to the highest degree. I no longer understand her obsession with the alpha king. Perhaps she was mad. Madly in love. It was giving me goosebumps. How could someone give that kind of affection to someone? Not even Zenith, his mate, could provide it.I guess Princess Fiona was just madly in love. “There will be no wedding without my approval and the queen’s approval, Princess Leonora. I hope we are clear on that, and you don’t go that far.”The Princess showed off again her irritating pout as if everyone who saw it would fall on their knees and do whatever she wanted. “Can’t you see I love you, Your Highness?”“There is a fine line between real love and obsession, princess.” I shifted my gaze to the prince. “I hope your brother taught you that.” Or was he also obsessing about pleasing his beloved sister?“We are already beading our goodbyes, Your Grace. Not the right time to lecture us about your principles and belief in life.”The princess nodded. “You hurt

Loving the alpha king?I snorted. “Oh, please, Delta Isagani. You are making me laugh. I do not love the alpha king. Why would I? I can easily leave him if Master Raphael comes here and gets me.” That was not a lie, there. Speaking of the alpha, I never heard anything from him or his pack. Did he find his women? I hope he finds them so that I will return to Riverside Pack. That pack would be a great place for growing a child.I was hoping and waiting for Master Raphael. Was he okay right now? I hoped he was. Delta Isagani leaned on me and watched my eyes. “What are you thinking? You are not thinking of hiding the child away from the alpha king, River. Don’t ever do that. Will you at least even for once think of how devastated the alpha king would be?”I gave him an innocent look. “I’m not thinking about that,” I lied. “I will stay here. For quite some time.”Delta Isagani was back on giving me his sad look. “River. Please think about what the alpha king might feel when you suddenly
Protect Me, Alpha King 176. Baby Essentials
The townspeople always recognized the alpha king wherever he went. That was already a fact. When our carriage stopped, and we stepped out, the people gave their courtesy bows. They were in awe whenever they looked at my bulging stomach and wished me well.It looked like they had forgotten about the former queen and were focused on me. Would I be happy or not?“At least you replied to them,” I muttered when the alpha king did not acknowledge them. He looked more like my bodyguard protecting me from possible harm than the alpha king himself. Maxxwell was glaring at them, scaring them away. “I came here to guard you. Not to do some pleasantries. Let’s get over this. Buy all you want, and we will return to the palace. You are not safe here.”“Nothing is safe if there are always bad guys, Your Highness,” I reminded. The marketplace was not that busy, and the heat was not that painful—a perfect time to shop for the baby's essentials. I could not help but feel excited. Anyways, I better

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

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
