There was a tingling sensation I felt when our hands were interconnected. The alpha king’s palm was warm, giving me comfort, which I did not understand, anyway. I was furious at him, right? So why? It did not make any sense. My little pumpkin.It must be him telling me that I should already forgive Maxxwell, which I did not feel right now. As of the moment. Forgiveness (if it will indeed happen) will come at the right time. My feet started to get sore just by walking, even for a few minutes. But I liked this experience. Back at the palace, I was usually imprisoned in my room or hiding away from the alpha king. The twins had managed to talk to me, and I had the heart to consider forgiving them for their betrayal. The only person I could not forgive was the alpha king himself. Could I forgive him?Only time could answer me.I wiped the sweat from my forehead as we approached the harbor. From our location, I could hear the worker’s shouts as they did their job for today. “Careful, m
My little pumpkin kicked my tummy again.“Quinn,” I repeated the name. Another kick. “You like that name, Quinn?” Another kick, this time stronger than it, took my breath away.I coughed, and the alpha king was already on my side, asking me what was going on. I laughed, and the alpha king gave me a questioning look. “Quinn likes his name. Very much. Good job, Your Highness.”“H-how can you tell?”“He used his strong little feet to kick me. He is usually like that.” Especially if I caught a whiff of your scent and heard your voice, I wanted to add but bit the inner side of my cheeks to stop myself from saying anything further. I stopped when he was giving me weird looks."What's wrong?"The wind has been getting strong, yet I like it. He glanced down at my tummy. “May I rub your tummy? I never had any encounters with pregnant women. And the more I look at you while carrying my child and his weight, it dawns on me that women are all amazing. They are strong. One of the strongest. E
Fuck.I could not accept the fact that I was lusting over Zenith’s murderer. I did agree that sometimes I felt those feelings uttered by Sunflower, but there was no way I would be telling her the truth. What kind of face would I give her when we met in the afterlife?I breathed deeply, trying to calm my thoughts.Everything was Sunflower’s influence. She was only projecting her lust for the alpha king toward me. In return, I was feeling all her emotions. The need. The lust. I slowly released a breath as sweat started to come out from my forehead. Dang.‘Stop it. You will never make me do it.’‘Why should I stop, River?’ Sunflower taunted. ‘Taunting you seems to be one of the most entertaining things to do right now. I am bored and with no way of walking all in fours on the ground. You being pregnant is the reason. So don’t you dare stop me from entertaining myself?”“Sun…”Suddenly, Sunflower let out a breathy moan as if she was imagining that the alpha king was fucking her. Her moa
In one instant the man was standing, with the pure intention of killing me and the next thing I know the alpha king charged and cut off one of his arms. The man cried in pain as blood came out like waterfalls. He staggered forward, dropping the daggers and watched at his decapitated limbs. My body went cold as I stared at the blood. I thought the alpha king would kill the man, but Maxxwell knocked him unconscious. Scowling, I watched him pick up the dagger and throw it away, then called his guards, and the next thing I knew, the door burst open with the beta and two guards.As if Beta Valentine already knew what had happened and what to do, he ordered the guards to pull the unconscious man and dragged him away."Your orders, Your Highness?""Stop the bleeding and interrogate."The beta threw a look in my direction, before nodding and shut the door. “Just like that, Maxxwell?” I asked, facing him. I scoffed. "Interrogate? That's the best you could do? That bastard nearly killed me
"Stop looking at me like that," I whispered. The alpha king looked at me, confused. "Like what?"Cheeks flushing, I responded, "Like you want to do sinful things. Evil deeds."Maxxwell smiled and the temperature around the room became hotter than usual. Damn that smile. I thought I was already immune to it. But no. Worse, it made my heart beat wilder. If I was a teenager, I would be screaming by now. Wipe that stupid smile, Maxxwell! my mind screamed. Maxxwell held his hand in the air and brushed the stray hair away from my eyes and put it behind my ear. That alone was enough to make my heart melt.Badump. His eyes darted to my lips and I could not help but make them wet.Maxxwell nibbled his lower lips as if imagining it was mine.Something built in my stomach while his lust was strong in the air. After giving attention to my hair, he brushed my lips using his fingertips. I moaned. “M-Maxxwell.”This was getting dangerous. The rational part of me told me I should shove him ou
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
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
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,

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
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
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
