161. Journey

“Pushing you to kill yourself,” I answered, my voice coated with pain. “He is capable of doing that.”In one snap, Alpha Raphael understood what I was saying. I did not tell him everything about my life, but I was certain, rumors had been circulating secretly about what happened during the Proclamation Ceremony. “I would never do that. I would rather die protecting this pack than do another thing.”I gave him a half-shrug. “Can I add something?”“What is that?”“Even if the alpha king had killed the one who killed the chef, something is telling me that the real culprit is walking freely among us. And that’s what you should solve, Master Raphael. You have to prove to the alpha king that you are competent and do not rely on anyone’s back.”Alpha Raphael dragged one chair and slumped. “There is nothing to prove, woman.”“There is. If you solve this case, the alpha king will never force me to go back to the palace. Please help me stay here. And if you solved the case, Master Raphael, the

“Looks like a true gentleman,” I blurted. “But in reality, you are nothing but an asshole, Your Highness,” I spat. The alpha king, perhaps he was already tired of arguing with me, smiled slowly and offered his hand. “Why don’t you just take my hand, River? You always have something to say in your mouth, don’t you?” “No, thank you. But I can walk on my own.” I slapped his hand away, but he stepped aside to give way. “Careful with your steps. This place is slippery. Careful. You will bump your head.” Rolling my eyes, I mumbled, “I’m fine. Will you stop treating me like a child, Maxxwell? I don’t like it a bit.” “I don’t want you to get hurt.” “Oh, please. You did hurt me already when you killed my sister.” It was too late to realize what I just said. Under my eyelashes, the alpha king’s eyes went flat. “I know,” he said under his breath. I gathered my hand together while the alpha king silently assisted me and was ready to catch me. Temporarily forgetting my irritation, I l

163. Not Fickle

RiverAfter surveying the inside of the pack house, we were able to count all the dead bodies. A total of sixteen bodies were either brutally killed or poisoned. No survivors so far. It was still a question of where they could be. Together with the alpha king, we stepped outside, only to see Alpha Raphael, who was back in his human form, but buck naked as a baby, slowly moving the bodies and piling them on the ground. For proper burial. Maxxwell tried to cover my eyes so that I could not see the alpha’s nakedness, but it was already too late. Besides, seeing his naked body was the last thing I was concerned about. Slapping Maxxwell’s hand away, and not minding Alpha Raphael’s current state, I rushed to his side. “M-Master Raphael. Did you find any survivors?”He shook his head.I clenched my fist. “I-if that’s the case, we have to go back and return to Riverside Pack to inform your father about this.”It seemed like he did not hear my voice. At all. He looked like a robot. Alpha

164. Not His

Hurt flashed in Maxxwell’s eyes and I had to bite down any sense of guilt as I watched him kneel. Harden your heart, River just like how he hardened his heart when he ordered Beta Valentine to bring you into the auction house, my mind said.Maxxwell heaved a sigh. “How long will you continue blaming me?”“Until you die. Your death will only make me happy, Maxxwell. I don’t care if you keep on groveling like that. Do it if you want to. I will sleep anyway.” Folding my arms in front of my chest, I released a sigh when Maxxwell stood like that. I wished I had the strength to mock him more and made him realize what he had done, but I could not do it. I am tired. “I will guard you while you sleep. Sleep peacefully. At this point, there are no related sightings of rogues. You are safe with me, River.”“Whatever,” I muttered and forced myself to sleep. --------------------I felt someone shaking my shoulders while calling my name, but the voice was too far away. Then, the shaking motion b

165. Loving It

The raw hunger awakened me as I was experiencing it. My stomach was hurting already. The baby was hungry, and I needed to do something to satisfy her hunger.Groaning, I got out of bed. Lazily. My body felt heavy. I could feel the slight changes on my body, but whether I became gigantic as a whale, I did not care about it. The baby was my top priority. Looking for my slippers, I found them under my bed, and realizing I had not changed my clothes, I slipped into a pair of shirts and pants and stepped out of my room.The kitchen was empty. Not surprising since it was already two o’clock in the morning. I opened each of the pots and found beef stew and fruits.My mouth watered at the sight of the food. Grabbing some plate and wooden spoon, I scooped some beef stew into my plate, chose some fruits—banana, and watermelon, and went to the dining room only to see the alpha king slowly drinking his alcohol.Fuck.Talk about the perfect timing. Thinking he did not notice my presence, I tur

166. Looking Forward

I was planning on evading the alpha king as long as possible after what happened that morning in the dining room, but the servant kept pounding at my door in my chamber, saying I should take my breakfast. Which means I would be seeing the alpha king. I constantly turned them down, saying I was still full, but when it was already the tenth servant calling me, I had no choice but to go there after being reminded that I hadn't eaten the beef stew and fruits after the alpha king had nearly eaten me first.My cheeks flushed at the thought.Dammit. Why can't I forget about that stupid kiss? Did I like it? Definitely that I had forgotten I was supposed to be hating Maxxwell.It's because you wanted it to repeat, another part of my mind said. You craved his presence and his lips. And his hardness against yours. Stop! Those were no longer my thoughts!I nibbled on my lips as I walked side by side with a servant.I was afraid that my hate for him would eventually vanish, and what would my si

167. The Princess's Arrival

I was walking in the hallway when I heard someone running. When I tilted my head to the side, what I saw made me raise my eyebrows. Nora was smiling in all ears as if she would say one of the happiest statements of all. Now that she had become the head concubine, she was getting prouder."Why did you leave His Highness when he hasn't finished eating? Done serving His Majesty to the best of your ability?" I taunted. "It seems like the favor is now on your side. Congratulations."She grinned from ear to ear. The words she was longing to hear. "Yes. Of course. I made sure His Highness is already given what he wants before I left him there."Was he not done eating? Did he have a stomach like that of a horse?Whatever. Not my business anymore. "What do you want, Nora? Spill it before I get tired of you. I have no strength to fight."Looking back and forth before saying anything, she says, "I know your relationship with the alpha king is shaky as of this moment, River."I scowled. No l

168. Hand

“I am nothing but a servant to His Highness, Your Grace,” I politely answered when the alpha king did not respond fast.The princess doubted my statement. Which I did not care about. However, as fast as I responded, that also had quickly the alpha king corrected me. “Your Grace. She is my mate. She is the queen of this kingdom.”The princess's beautiful hazel eyes flashed in anger. “Your mate? But I am your mate, Your Highness!” she exclaimed. “I told you that I am only your mate.”I raised one of my brows. What kind of spell did Maxxwell have that women were swooning over him? I should have kept my mouth shut, but I was contradicting myself. “I beg to disagree, Your Grace. You don’t have a mark on your neck showing that the alpha king owned you.”Maxxwell gave me a satisfied look.I scoffed at him. “The mark will follow after,” she answered, full of confidence.Unfortunately for this woman, there would never be a third chance mate, only up to a second chance. “It won’t.” Not unl

169. Flower Garden

For a princess like Princess Leonora, who thought the world would always revolve around her, asking the alpha king's hand in marriage was a piece of cake.It was bold of her. Did she like him so much that she was willing to be aggressive about it? Something tugged my heart, and I suddenly felt bitterness. Damn it. Don't tell me I was jealous. Why would I?Princess Leonora looked at us one by one while raising her hand. "So...anyone who wants to say they do not like my statement? Or anyone who wants to object?" I do! my mind said, but before I could blurt out those words, I bit my lower lips. Her eyes shifted to me. "How about you, Your Grace?" There was sarcasm in his voice when she uttered the words Your Grace. Not wanting to be shaken, I asked while nibbling on the watermelon. "What do you want me to say, Your Grace? Are you certain you are prepared for what I will say?" Looking at me with a stubborn look, she said, "That you won't get in my way. You don't love His Highness

170. Marketplace

Maxxwell stilled upon hearing my voice. His expression softened, and he smiled as if he did not scare the princess. Or was it only I who was frightened for the princess's life? With heavy and fast steps, I sauntered towards them even if the other part of me said this was no longer my problem. Still…I could not help but pry. “You are here,” the alpha king commented. "I was looking for you, River. The servant did not see you anyway."Saw the other servants looking for me, but I hid. The alpha king did not know it. At least he was back in his control. “I happened to see both of you, and then you nearly lost control.”"Are you saying His Highness was trying to hurt me? Well, you are deeply mistaken."Talk about in denial. Smiling, I just did not react. I did not think she would be saying that the alpha king would hurt her. Or was he capable of that? So far, he did not hurt me."Good for you, then. I was mistaken.""Hmp!" the princess said and looked in the other direction. “What d
