Protect Me, Alpha King 44. Mark Me, Your Majesty
Alpha King Maxxwell's sudden shift in his mood puzzled me.“I don’t understand what you are trying to say, Your Majesty. I don’t understand why your mood was suddenly sour and moody. I thought you were already okay after I gave you and Lady Juliana the time to catch up. I did not listen to your conversation. Unlike the time when you called for Nora.”Alpha King Maxxwell’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “You listened to us?” he asked calmly, but the shaking of his hands told me he was feeling the opposite.Damn it. Why did I have to include Nora? I should learn how to filter my words around him. Looking away, I muttered, “For a brief moment, Your Majesty. I was staying in the next room, but Nora was…” I shrugged, not sure how to put my thoughts in words. “She’s quite expressive. Believe me, I walked away after that and went to the watchtower and saw Sir Elijah. And besides, allow me to use the opportunity to say that Sir Elijah and I did not date. We happened to be at the same time. We sh
Protect Me, Alpha King 45. Fix Your Hair First
The clock continued ticking, but Alpha King Maxxwell stood still. His breathing was labored while his hand rested on my shoulder—trembling.Damn. He was fighting for control. That was not what I wanted. I wanted him to lose his con—nothing else. My neck was already straining, and I started feeling the pain, but I managed to stay calm and act sweetly. "What's the matter, Your Majesty? I am waiting.""This is not supposed to happen," he said in disbelief. He mumbled to himself, and I could not decipher what he was saying anymore. My heart sank when he retreated, putting a safe distance between us, took off his shirt, left his undershirt, and threw it in my direction without looking at me. "Wear that, River. I don't want any males seeing you in that state."I glanced at it momentarily and fisted on the clothes as I looked at him with disbelief. The cold never bothers me anymore. "Tell me what's wrong, Your Majesty. I can fix it for you."I did not have bad breath. So why? Perhaps
Protect Me, Alpha King 46. We Never Kissed
"You look… disheveled," Alpha King Maxxwell added. I looked back and saw him not looking in my direction. "M-my apologies, Your Majesty. Let me fix my hair first."Not only the hair but my clothes, still clutching my ripped clothes. I drew a couple of breaths while fixing my hair. However, it was never messy, to begin with. Whatever. I have to get out of here before something happens more than what happened earlier."Walk as fast as you can outside. Others might see you and will spread rumors."My hands froze at the hemline of his shirt. "Are you afraid someone might think something happened between us?"A long pause. When I glanced at my shoulder, I found the alpha king staring at the wall."I only loved one woman in my lifetime.""And who is that lucky woman, Your Majesty?"His back stiffened. "Zenith. My personal servant before you.""But she is dead, Your Majesty!"That certified it. Alpha King Maxxwell was painstakingly waiting for her. His devotion to that unknown woman…."Th
Protect Me, Alpha King 47. What If?
I stared at the alpha king in disbelief as my mind tried to digest the words he uttered. “It is sudden, I know. But a must. You have a week to prepare yourself, River.”I stumbled back into bed. A week. It was not even enough for me to prepare myself. Too soon. “Alpha Wade wanted your presence. He wanted to see if you are doing good in the palace or not.”The air around us seemed scant and I gasped for more. My eyes watered as I pounded my chest, for easier breathing.The alpha king’s eyes narrowed. “Are you okay?”Who would be okay after hearing his announcement? My mind refused to believe it. I wanted to run and hide until the day the alpha king went back to Haverstone Pack. Oh, gawd. I think I’m gonna throw up. “But why do we have to go back there? I don’t want to!” I cried. “I will go anywhere, Your Majesty, but not to my pack. You are punishing me, right? This is the punishment for lying to you about Sir Elijah.”I jumped out of bed and paced back and forth. Impossible. I was o

I sighed in the end. No matter how much we debated whether Zenith was alive, no one could verify it. The hopeless romantic alpha king was still searching for her. And if he found her, what would happen to me? She was his personal servant in the first place. Would the woman allow it if I continued serving the alpha king? Or will she get jealous about it?You are thinking about that when you are not sure if she is alive?I wish she were dead.I stiffened at my train of thought.Now, now. Where did that evil thoughts come from? I may be a liar, but I did not wish for someone to die. The idea was not coming from me. Alright?Zenith was the only one who knew if she was alive or not."If she is alive, will the other nobles accept her now?" If they won't, will the alpha king release a decree about that? "Such a headache, right? It's not our business to pry into Alpha King's Maxxwell private life."He gave me a half-shrug. "It isn't, River. We are nothing but His Majesty's followers. The bes

"Elijah! Please tell your horse to stop!" J screamed at the top of my lungs, which he only answered with laughter. I couldn't fathom opening my eyes because if I did, I would only get more scared. "Relax, River. We got you.""No! Your horse wanted me dead!" I answered, still wrapping my arms around his waist. The air blew my hair, and some strands slapped my cheeks hard, but I could not even collect the strands! Everything was difficult. One single move, and I may fall off. Damn it! I wanted this journey to end! If only I knew Leah would hate me, I would never join Elijah. "She's only playing, River."Playing? It seemed like it was not the case for me.Leah liked being petted by Elijah. She ran faster whenever the man praised her. What was more irritating was that Elijah seemed not to mind that I nearly had a heart attack while riding behind him. "Elijah!""We are nearly there," he answered. "Close your eyes if you can't handle the pace."And I did. The rest of the journey was
Protect Me, Alpha King 50. Nobody
Hurts too much, my mind said. Fudge. I clenched my fist, controlling myself not to stand and fight back. Not now, River. You have a lot of audiences, which will have a boomerang effect on me. I struggled to get back on my feet. “That slave deserved to be punished!” the woman announced. I knew who it was. Lady Juliana. What was she doing here? Images of her kissing the alpha king fueled my anger. I drew a couple of breaths, urging myself to control my emotions. Anger was not the solution for now. "She bumped you, Your Grace, and turned her back at you," Lady Aurora added. "She is a feral dog that needs to be put in her rightful place. Punishment is a must."I clicked my tongue. Lady Aurora was getting on my nerves now. The older woman should know when to open her mouth and when not to. “Ladies! That's no longer necessary,” Elijah interjected. “Another move from your servant, Lady Juliana, and I will punish him himself for hurting River.”“Sir Elijah! That woman started it!” L
Protect Me, Alpha King 51. Tristan
I jumped and shrieked simultaneously while glaring at the newcomer—Nobody. Did he lure me into this alley for what purpose?“Do you want to kill me, huh?” I asked while clutching my chest, beating frantically. He put his hands in the air as if he was silently surrendering while his eyes twinkled in mischief."Why are you acting as if we are friends, huh?" I asked again. From where I was standing, I could still hear the people selling their fabrics and herbal medicines. "I am not, River," he answered as if he was pouting. Nobody (as he told me) was better compared to his state before we separated. He looked handsome. He is an enemy of the alpha king. Why do you waste your time on him?Even if he was the alpha king’s enemy did not mean my enemy also. He chuckled, not minding my erratic heartbeat. “Scaredy-cat.”“Why are you here? You are a rogue. The alpha king is looking for you. After what you did to the dungeon.”"I came by to say my greetings. And to give you this." He pulled

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,
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
