Protect Me, Alpha King 70. Tears
A muscle ticked in Alpha King Maxxwell's jaw while giving me an intense stare. I maintained my smile, despite the fast beating of my heart in my ribcage. Damn. It was already a pain to smile too much. "You want to know why River?" he interrogated. He patted my stubborn hair, flattening the baby hairs, which looked like nothing but a bird's nest at the moment. I hadn't combed it yet (I found the task a waste of my time), so it was standing in every direction, including the baby hairs. He grabbed a handful of my hair using his fingertips and put it on his nose, and inhaled deeply.Fudge. "Y-Your Majesty...I haven't washed my hair," I said nervously. If I had known he would do this, perhaps I should have taken a bath earlier. "It may smell," I said, feeling the sudden rise of my body temperature on my cheeks. I tried to step back, but he snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me to his body."Y-Your Majesty?" What had gotten over him? It seemed like someone possessed him. This
Protect Me, Alpha King 71. Bad Mood
My tears retreated as I saw the great alpha king's tears. I had temporarily forgotten my pain. Someone explained to me what was happening.A noble, an alpha king to be precise, was crying in front of his subordinates, or slave was forbidden. The custom did not allow it. Nobles should always appear powerful, never showing any signs of weakness to anyone, or the slaves would lose their respect for them. But the alpha king showing his vulnerability in front of me was a humbling experience. And before I knew it, I wrapped my arms around the alpha king's waist, and this time, I drew him closer to my body, silently consoling him.My throat felt tight; I never said anything but patted his back. I felt his shoulders shake, and as a sign of respecting his vulnerability, I did not even look at him. Or it would break the magic. What a humbling experience. Why did the alpha king show his vulnerability in front of his personal attendant? In front of me?'Aw. Kiss her, River. It will make him
Protect Me, Alpha King 72. Bow Down Before Your Queen
My lips pressed into a thin line.I wanted to tell him it was no longer necessary to get irritated, but I knew he would only order me to keep my mouth shut. Again. As if that was the only thing he could ask me now. Fine. I won't press it more. It would only stress me out.I turned sideways, giving him the silence he deserved. He was giving me the cold shoulder? No problem at all!I should be the one in a bad mood since I slept for only a few hours because of him. "I will give you your silence then. Enjoy," I muttered and shifted my gaze to the view outside. The more I looked outside, the more I slept.He did not answer. Once more.Hmmph.The cool breeze brushing against my skin was tempting me to fall asleep. And I did. I give in to the temptation. I had to gather my strength anyway for the upcoming meeting with the two alphas.-------------I was dreaming that I was dancing in the meadow with all the butterflies encircling me. I was laughing my heart out. Unbothered with all my pr
Protect Me, Alpha King 73. Alpha Wade
I knew that people would never respect me because of my past because I was an omega and slave of the Haverstone Pack who rose to rank because of the alpha king. No matter how many fancy dresses I wore and the diamonds and gold I owned, they would still refuse to honor me as their future queen.I yanked at the alpha king's clothes, silently telling him that it was no longer needed to force it on them.I understood he wanted to help me with my so-called revenge against Alpha Erik, and I appreciated him for that. However, there was something I could no longer do which was beyond my reach—acceptance from them.However, if I wanted to let it go, the alpha king declined to let it slide. "You refuse to honor the alpha king's order?" he growled, baring his teeth at everyone. "How dare all of you! Do you want me to punish you until you beg for my mercy?" he barked. My packmates retreated. I was satisfied seeing the fear in their eyes and how they cowered on the alpha king's threatening gl
Protect Me, Alpha King 74. More Secrets
Alpha Wade gritted his teeth, his facade nearly slipping away. If there was something he didn't like, it was when someone would go to his room. He believed his space was sacred and deserved for himself only. Even his son was forbidden to do so. Only a few servants were permitted to clean his room, and I was never included. He did not trust me that much.By asking about his room, I wanted to know if he had changed. “My room, you say?”I shrugged my shoulders and folded my arms in front of my chest, and smirked at him.“Yes, your room, Alpha Wade. I did not know age had taken a toll on your hearing.”Alpha Erik stiffened beside his father. Acting as if he was unaffected by my teasing, he answered, “It’s not yet clean, Your Grace.”“Unclean? Really? Or do you not want us to use it? My, my. I am not yet proclaimed the queen, yet you dare to defy me? Careful, Alpha Wade. The kingdom may think this is some disrespect against the kingdom of Vernice.”Alpha Wade chuckled. “Disrespect? You h

I put my hands on my lap. "So since the two of you failed to bear a child, you will transfer the responsibility to me, Your Majesty? Is that it? Is that also the reason why you won't reject me?"That would be possible, given the circumstances we have right now. Zenith was no longer here. If that was the case, I was right. I was nothing but a means to the alpha king's goal. Nothing less. Nothing more. What do you expect? That the alpha king would love you? Pathetic. He won't. Accept that. It will always be Zenith.The alpha king sighed, and I shivered as I felt his warm breath fanned across my neck.The mark throbbed even more and was followed by a tingling sensation. It burned as if it was aching to be touched, and as if sensing my discomfort, the alpha king brushed his fingers on it. "Stop that," I muttered. He did not. I bit my lips to stop myself from moaning over that simple gesture. Simple for the others, but between the two of us, it greatly impacted me. My wolf purred in t
Protect Me, Alpha King 76. You Love Him?
Pulling myself together, I stared at Alpha Erik and calmed my racing heart. I should never have felt like this whenever I saw him. Our stories were already closed. Our bond was severed. I should be calm. And not feeling like this—my heart beating loudly. Reprimanding myself, I looked at him, making my expression blank. “Let go of my wrist,” I ordered. “I am no longer your slave who you will grab whenever and whatever you want. The alpha king is only inside. I don’t want him hearing and looking like this.”As if burning and realizing what he did, he let go of my wrist. He scratched his neck as if he was humiliated.“I’m sorry.”My mouth gaped at him. Alpha Erik? Muttering his apologies? Was he the person I was facing right now? Or was it his twin?Refusing to be surprised anymore, I folded my hands in front of my chest. "What do you want, Alpha Erik?" I asked. "River. Can we talk?""That's not how you should talk to your future queen, Alpha Erik. You should address me as your—"His
Protect Me, Alpha King 77. Vengeance?
Did I love the alpha king? Love? What kind of emotion was that? All through my life, I never felt loved. I had never received such gestures. When I could not answer Alpha Erik’s question, he smirked, feeling triumphant.“I knew it, River. I don't think you loved him in the first place. Everything is a facade to fool the people—our packmates. You still love me, right?” he asked with a hopeful look.He attempted to close the distance between us, but I stepped back while glaring at him. What the fudge?"What the fuck are you talking about, Alpha Erik?"He opened and closed his mouth. Then, he asked, "You love…him?" Lifting my chin, I turned my expression serious. “Of course! Who would never love the alpha king? I love the alpha king. It was love at first sight,” I started lying. He shrunk back. Good. Go, River. Fool him. "Is that true?" he whispered. “You think I am lying?"'Don't say hurtful things to him,' my wolf meddled. 'Don't defend him. He hurt us, to begin with. He reje

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
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
