Protect Me, Alpha King 60. Bastard
Master Henderson's eyes twinkled, watching the bag of gold. I smelt his greed, making me smirk."Ah. This is getting heavy. I wonder who is the luckiest person who will hold this for me. I still had a lot stored under my clothes."I touched my shoulders and made circular motions while silently looking at him."Woman. You know how to make a bargain.""Money can move mountains, Master Henderson.""We are on the same page, woman. Why don't we talk somewhere...private?" Master Henderson said in the end.I beamed and motioned for him to lead the way. "That would be lovely."His eyes narrowed, and he said, "Follow me. Hurry."I ran after him. His steps were long and fast as if someone was hunting him.When we reached his office, I was sweating like crazy, and the shawl wrapped around my shoulders was not helping. However, I could not take it off. "That was a long walk. And sweaty."I stifled a laugh when he faced him. He was sweating worse than me. His shirt was dripping with sweat. And wi
Protect Me, Alpha King 61. Going Back
Master Henderson put his hand on his chin and scratched it. “You are not in the position to get furious here, milady,” he said. “Remember you need me.”Leaning closer, I could smell his stinky breath. “But you need my money more than I do, Master Henderson,” I retorted. “Tell me how much she is and we are done. It’s sickening how you treated Dawn as if she is nothing but a dog.”He threw back his head and laughed. “She is a dog. My lap dog. I owned her. I bought her using my money. I wasted my money for her.” My hands shook. Those words. Alpha Wade uttered them to me, reminding me I was nothing but his possession. “She is also part human. I want to buy her.”Do you have the means to buy her, River? You’re also dirt-poor. It's funny how confident you were uttering those words. Something falls on the shelves. A record. Dawn bent and grabbed it. That must be Zenith’s record.“Milady, being kind will not make you a saint. However, since you remind me of my past, I will give the bitch to
Protect Me, Alpha King 62. Bandits
A record keeper? If Dawn was indeed one, her statement was the most reliable of all. Not only was she Henderson’s servant, but she was also there at every auction. She was the best candidate to ask for any information about what had happened in the previous years during her stay at the auction house.However, I had to make sure. "Are you the record keeper? Then why did Master Henderson let you go easily like that?" Only a few slaves had a high level of education because only a few masters had allowed their slaves to have some education. "Everyone is replaceable, master.” I cocked my eyebrows. Master? That was ridiculous. “He kicked me out because he believed I was no longer useful to him. And my looks.""River. You can call me that. Not master. You're giving me goosebumps. But I do not believe everyone is replaceable. Take Zenith, for example. No one could replace her in the alpha king’s heart.” No. I was not bitter. Dawn smiled at me, but it was more than a grimace. “Hey. You were
Protect Me, Alpha King 63. Find Her, Maxxwell!
River WilliamsMy heart hammered against my chest. Suppose I positioned myself in the wrong place. One single mistake, and I was bathing in my blood by now. Gulping, I looked up. The man pulled out the sword, which only meant one thing—they wanted us to die!Get out! Run! my mind screamed. I cannot move my fucking feet!But even if I had to, my foot was already rooted to the ground. This was no simple robbery. They wanted us dead after robbing us. The carriage shook, signaling me that whoever it was above, he was already planning for his next attack. I could no longer hear the surroundings outside. All I could hear was the fast beating of my hands. Move your butt, woman!The person above moved and mustered all the strength I could carry, and I forced my feet to move. And I did. I managed to get out of the carriage, losing my footing and falling to the ground. I coughed as I ate the dirt. Looking up, the coachman was fighting against one of the bandits. They were all huge an
Protect Me, Alpha King 64. He Won't Save Me
Alpha King Maxxwell “Your Majesty!” Valentine exclaimed. “Why are you wasting your time on that woman, huh? She is nothing! Let Isagani find her and you can sleep. You need to rest. How will you handle the palace affairs if you get sick? We are not invisible to any sickness, Your Majesty!” My eyes darted back to ‘Find her, Maxxwell!” Denaro demanded one more time. When the beast wanted it, he would not stop pestering me with his demands until I gave in. What an irritating bastard. ‘I hear your thoughts,’ he said, glaring at me while baring his fangs. Rolling my eyes inwardly, I said, ‘My apologies, my alpha king.’ He fell silent, his anger directed toward me. ‘Don’t act mighty with me. You are nothing without me.’ That was Denaro. Thinking he was more powerful than me. However, being with him made me adjust his behavior. He did not know we were connected. He would not exist without me. Clenching my fist, I added, ‘Let me handle it.’ ‘I’m giving you until morning to find her
Protect Me, Alpha King 65. Stay Awake, River!
My muscles tensed while clenching my fist. I will die before I allow this man to defile us over my dead body.My body trembled in anger. “Fuck off!”He smirked. “Not going to happen, milady. As I said, we will have some fun before you meet your buyers. I already sold you a hefty sum of money.” “Bastard!” Dawn spat. “As if I will let you do that. I vow that you will die a terrible death to the point of regretting you capture us. You are nothing but a lowly human.”“Bitch! Don’t talk if I am not talking to you! You should be thankful I did not kill you in an instant. All I wanted is your master, but I only gave you one as a plus one.”"Make me, asshole!" Dawn replied. "I changed my mind. I will kill you right now." He pulled out another dagger and attacked the two of us. No. It was only directed at Dawn. Dawn pushed me aside and exposed herself in danger. The leader stabbed the air, and his useless attempts were nothing to the woman’s agility.I guessed she was an actual luna who wa
Protect Me, Alpha King 66. I Carry Your Mark, But Not Your Heart
When my eyes fluttered open, I first noticed the familiarity of the ceiling, which I had been staring at whenever I woke up in the morning and before going to sleep. My body felt like an elephant had run over me. Everything hurts.I tried to recall what had happened, and images of our capture resurfaced in my memory. I bolted upright as the memories kept on flowing. Dawn. The bandits. My wolf. Blood all over the floor. My stomach became upset. I had a wolf? Was I not wolf-less? That was…unexpected. All my life, I had thought that maybe I was a human. But why did she come out on that day?It was reassuring, by the way. No one would bully me that I was wolf-less. My grin vanished when I suddenly remembered Dawn and the coachman. Dawn! Where was she? I turned around only to jump when the alpha king’s gaze met my eyes.I was on the verge of giving my courtesy bow when he said, “Don’t worry yourself, River.”His voice was tired. Dark circles decorated his eyes as if he was not sleepin
Protect Me, Alpha King 67. The Alpha King's Promise
"Why did I hear the bitterness in your voice, River?" Alpha King Maxxwell asked. "Are you waiting for the day I will no longer fall in love with Zenith but instead with you?"I scoffed inwardly. Did he not know? What an insensitive jerk. Faking a surprise, I pointed to myself. "Bitter? Me?" I waved my hands like crazy. "No, no, Your Majesty. I'm not feeling like that. I am only telling the truth. You don't care for me at all, Your Majesty. I'm also telling this so you should not bother yourself to save me."Until now, I remembered his voice. How it quivered as he was calling my name, but that time, my eyes were already closed, and opening them required a tremendous effort. Until his voice was getting further away. The alpha king bared his teeth. "I will save you over and over again as long as I have the power to do it, River. Saving you is not something you cannot refuse. Zenith died without giving me a chance to save her. What made you think I will allow you to die without trying

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
