Protect Me, Alpha King 96. Betrayal
I hide the dagger on my hip and faced Dawn. Her eyes were wary and watched my every move. I knew she was not the type to report to Maxxwell about what she heard this evening. I was glad I did not necessarily give my permission in the revolt against the kingdom. I felt butterflies in my stomach when she continued looking at me as if I committed the greatest sin of all mankind."Dawn. You don't have to look at me like that," I whispered. "Is the banquet done? I came here to take some fresh air to breathe but Tristan suddenly showed.""River. Entertaining him was a mistake.""I never thought he would show up," I explained. "River. Do you believe in his words? That's a rogue we are talking about here. They are cunning and the only thing they wanted is to destroy this kingdom. That's the only thing they want."I looked away. "The age of the woman who might have put me in the river and Master Henderson's words coincided, Dawn. I cannot stay still after hearing it."I heard her resounding
Protect Me, Alpha King 97. Apologies
When I returned to the banquet, they were still chatting with each other. The food was almost empty. Zenith was occupied holding and leaning Alpha King Maxxwell as if her life depended on the alpha king.Setting aside my envy, I scrunch my nose in disgust. Are we really sisters in blood? If she already knew about it, why did she keep on pretending as if she did not know me? For the past few days, Zenith was nothing but a bitch to me. What was her deal? I wanted to have a one-on-one talk with her. And if we really were siblings, how could the Moon Goddess pair us with the same guy? I would accept anyone, even an omega or slave of the kingdom. But not with the same guy as my supposed sibling. Everything is still to be proven first, the other part of my mind said. I pulled myself together. I must never be affected and set aside my romantic feelings. I inhaled deeply before I fully pushed the door open. The banquet went dead silent as they saw me reentered. Zenith's face went red w
Protect Me, Alpha King 98. The Mutt and the Leech
As I sauntered towards the library, I tried to control my breathing as pain and betrayal continued attacking me. Sunflower was also not helping when she continued wailing in the background. Sometimes, I think it would be better to be alone with myself than be with someone who always hurts. ‘Stop it, will you? You’re getting irritating, Sun!’ I scolded her.‘You don’t love the alpha king! It is who only lovs him! It is I who is only hurting! Is your heart frozen, River?’ she asked. ‘It’s not like that.’ I did not know anymore what words I would say to appease her. She would never listen to me! She is stubborn and thinks she is the only one hurting. When in fact, it was not the case! ‘Fine. If you want to drown in your pain, do it. Give Zenith the satisfaction.’‘That woman! I don’t care if you are siblings or not! I will scratch her pretty face using my paws!’‘You will never do that, okay?’‘I will! She’s a bitch! She should never have come back!’ Using her paws, Sunflower wiped th
Protect Me, Alpha King 99. Melissa and Robert
Muttering a curse while holding Dawn's sleeve and stopping her from attacking Beta Valentine was one of the most challenging things to do. The woman looked like a feral animal who would like to bite the man. While Beta Valentine? He put one of his hands on her forehead, halting her attack. Despite the seriousness of the situation, I stifled a laugh. Beta Valentine looked like a giant, while Dawn was a cute but wild puppy. "You coward mutt!" Dawn spat, still giving her best to attack the beta. "And you are a leech," he answered back. "Damn you!""No one's allowed to curse me, Luna Dawn. And you cannot tempt me like how you tempted Delta Isagani."Dawn hissed, her claws elongated, and she was on the brink of clawing the man. Dawn nearly slipped under my grasp, but I was able to pull her again.Despite Dawn's small frame, she was strong. In all honesty, we were nothing compared to Beta Valentine in strength and power, but thankfully, the man did his best not to give his all."Dawn!

I closed my eyes after reading the contents of the records while clutching them to my chest. There was nothing extraordinary about how the recordkeeper recorded it. In fact, the words used were simple, nothing extravagant. Nothing fancy. But despite that, I could see a glimpse of how Melissa and Robert’s life were back then. They were fated mates. Tristan's words and information coincide with what was written in the record. Melissa Dove was Robert Dove's fated mate and was sold at the auction house and bought by the alpha king as a married couple and brought to the kingdom. They were twenty years old back then. Melissa worked as a chambermaid while Robert sometimes acted as the alpha king’s guard in addition to the royal’s warriors. Robert was also known as a healer, sometimes asked by the pack doctor to assist him. Just like me. Melissa and Robert both stayed at the palace for almost thirty years, and the last of their records said the woman was heavily pregnant when the two ran

I did not know what lies I would tell the alpha king and Beta Isagani this time. It seemed like all lies had already been extracted from my brain. What will I say now? How would we get out of this mess? Damn.If we could have made our moves faster earlier, we wouldn't have been caught.Dawn nudged me. "Let's run away,'' Dawn whispered. ''The mutt is not looking at us. This is our chance, River.'' I gaped at her. How bold of her to say that. Still, I admire her for that. She was really fearless, just like she said. Still looking at Beta Valentine's back, I asked, ''Are you nuts? That means we are guilty. Are you scared? I will get us out of this, okay?''Dawn’s eyes grew frantic. Something tugged in my mind, and when I opened it, Dawn’s voice flowed. ‘We are guilty, River. The alpha king will punish us. I never wanted to be punished again.’My expression softened as I saw the fear in her eyes.I gritted my teeth.Master Henderson succeeded in breaking her. ‘The worst the alpha ki
Protect Me, Alpha King 102. Let's Go, River
I massaged my forehead while I continued looking at Dawn, banging on the door.No matter how much I tried to stop her, she wouldn’t let me.“Dawn! This is embarrassing,” I muttered. The twins did not even attempt to stop her. “I am not embarrassed. This is about your happiness we are talking about, River. All I want is for you to be happy together with your mate. So you have to tell him what you feel, okay?”I groaned. Right now, I had no plans of telling anyone about how I felt toward the alpha king. I was not comfortable saying it. “The alpha king has another mate, okay? Why can’t you understand that? Stop that. Let’s go back to our room.”Dawn stomped her foot as if she was a child. “I want you to be paired with him. No other woman.” She faced the door again. “What took them so long? Your Majesty! Alpha King Maxxwell! Open the damn door.”“Luna Dawn. That’s not locked. You can barge in,” Clara urged, which earned her a pinch on her side by Flare. “What? I am only suggesting. I am
Protect Me, Alpha King 103. Tears
The moment the alpha king and I stepped outside, I distanced myself from him. A safe distance where he could not touch me and disturb my emotions even further.We stayed as far away from the servants and any eavesdroppers as possible. Looking that no one was there, I said, “Say what you want, Maxxwell. Let’s get this done once and for all. I don't want to hear Zenith bitching over me and saying spiteful things," I muttered coldly. "And please. Sleep after this. I can still smell the liquor coming from your body." "I'm sober now." Both of his hands fell on his side.I released an exasperated sigh. "Don't make me wait anymore. I have a lot of things to do." I don't. When I come back inside, I'll be overthinking again until sleep knocks me out. “Honesty, I actually don’t know what to say, River. I just dragged you here. I wanted to talk to you. You've been avoiding me for the past couple of weeks. I miss talking to you.”My mouth went round. “What the fuck? Are you wasting my time? Go

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

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
