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 52. Plan
But, of course, Elijah was the total opposite of an asshole. It was difficult to hate him. And if he continued showing me this kind of luxury, it would become more complex. After a couple seconds, I said, ''Can I say something, Elijah?'' I asked while clutching the pendant. ''Yes. You may. Do not hesitate to say what is in your mind, River.'' ''Why are you doing this?'' His forehead knotted. "Doing what? I don't follow you.'' I sighed. ''Why are you being good to me? It's confusing on my part. Is that because you also see that woman in me? If we don't have the same similarity, will you still treat me like this?'' What was the point of not saying it out loud? If he wanted honesty, he should be able to handle my question. My gaze went back to the servants. They were still looking at us while pretending to sweep the ground. "Are we thinking about the same woman?" "None other than." He fell into deep thought and confessed, ''I never liked that woman, to begin with. If you resem
Protect Me, Alpha King 53. Fire Burning
In an instant, I closed the distance between us and put both of my hands on the hemline of the alpha king's hemline of his shirt while painting a smile on my lips. Alpha King Maxxwell did not like my smile, and his suspicions grew. Oops. I wiped my smile.Raising his eyebrows, he looked at me using his penetrating eyes, which I returned with the same intensity. "You're planning something, River. Whatever that is, you drop it. I have no time to play with your games."That was the alpha king. Nothing slipped under his nose. I beamed at him, pretending he did not catch me. "I don't understand what you are talking about, Your Majesty. I'm just helping you take a bath. Nothing else."He narrowed his gaze at me. "You smiled sweetly, but something's telling me you have an evil plan.""Evil? I don't have evil plans, Your Majesty," I retorted with an innocent look on my face. "May I?" I asked before I took off his jacket, followed by his undershirt, and set them aside. I stopped when I s
Protect Me, Alpha King 54. Defeat
The alpha king raised his brow, disbelief in his eyes. "So I am right. You did plan something, River. I hate to break it to you, but you will not succeed."It would be a silent battle between us—an ongoing one. "I did not say I have plans, Your Majesty."I grabbed the bar of soap and asked, "May I?" He nodded. With that, I rubbed the soap all over his chest. He remained silent, not saying anything, as I continued rubbing the soap. Using the bubbles, I scrubbed the dirt and dried blood all over his body. He moaned, savoring the comfort I was giving him."At last, you finally did your job, River."The hemline of my clothes was already wet as some water splashed towards me. "This is my plan, Your Majesty. To serve you. I want to redeem myself. If you are thinking of other things, you are mistaken." He opened one of his eyes. "You know what it is. Don't play dumb with me."I chuckled and returned the bar soap. "You never believe what I say, do you, Your Majesty?"He leaned his head on
Protect Me, Alpha King 55. The Marking?
The alpha king is kissing me? What is happening? What is happening? my mind asked in disbelief. Why is he kissing me now?"Respond to my kisses, River. You want this badly from the start," he muttered when I stayed still like a barbecue stick. "And now I am kissing you, and you're unresponsive dampening desire."The alpha king bit my lower lip, making me gasp. Using that opportunity, he slipped his tongue into mine, teasing me, promising me what might happen if I let go. However, I continued to be unresponsive, trying to decipher his actions and the sudden mood change. What the heck? I told him I had accepted my defeat and that I'll start recognizing that he would never mark me.Still dealing with the confusion, I put both hands around his chest and pushed him away. No matter how much I wanted to return his kisses. Breathing heavily, I looked at him, dumbfounded. "Why are you kissing me, Your Majesty?"The corner of his mouth lifted. "Why? You don't like it?" he inquired back. "Now
Protect Me, Alpha King 56. Mated
The alpha king's bite on my shoulder blade was burning, and then it was replaced by pleasure as if he had just penetrated me. Our minds were suddenly interconnected, feeling each other's emotions. Desire. Passion. I didn't even know if it was coming from me or not. Everything felt surreal. Then, I saw a black wolf staring back at me and howling. Was it the alpha king’s wolf? The scenery changed, and I saw myself with the alpha king. No. It was not me. The woman had no curls on her hair. It was the opposite. Zenith? Did I see the flashback of the alpha king’s memory?I shuddered in his arms while he supported my weight. Giving his final touch, the alpha king licked the wound and pulled away. "Congratulations, River. Now, you carry my mark and scent for the rest of your life. And like I said, aside from power, you will also gain enemies. My enemies, they will be after your life. And I cannot protect you at all times. This is the consequence that my mark bearer will face."Feeling ligh
Protect Me, Alpha King 57. The Twin's
Clara and Flare rubbed their chins together. They couldn't look me in the eyes, showing how guilty they were for their past sins. "What did the two of you do, huh? Why did you say you were also the reason Zenith died? Did the two of you push her to her death?"Their long silence told me they were not ready to answer, but I wouldn't say I liked their closed lips. I wanted to know more about Zenith."Clara! Flare!" I exclaimed, grabbing their attention, held them both in their arms, and shook them. They gulped. "Were you her murderer?"Their eyes kept darting back and forth. Oh, Moon Goddess. I did not know how I would react if they were indeed murderers. That would be too much to handle. "Please don't make me overthink any longer. You're only making it worse."As if they were sharing a mind link, they nodded and faced me. "It's not like that." Gathering courage together, they said, "We also were against their relationship, just like anyone here. We bullied Zenith. We told her ha

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
