All Chapters of Protect Me, Alpha King : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

River "I will fight for Lady Juliana as long as I live, woman. No one will stop me." I folded my arms and narrowed my eyes at him. What a stubborn man. "My name is not Woman but River. Could you please address me using my given name? I would be grateful for that. And you know what, Delta Isagani?”He threw me an irritated look. “Get over it. Spill.”Look at this man. He looked like a sheep around Lady Juliana, but when the latter was nowhere to be seen, he looked like a predator ready to pounce on his victims.“We don't always have to fight. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to give up if our presence is no longer needed by someone, especially our mate. Let's save ourselves and pity ourselves once and for a while," I whispered. Face reddening, he announced, "Lady Juliana will eventually learn that it is I she needed, not the alpha king. I will do everything I can if she wants me to do something for her. I can move heaven and earth for her. I can serve the head of her enemies on a

Alpha King Maxxwell's sudden shift in his mood puzzled me.“I don’t understand what you are trying to say, Your Majesty. I don’t understand why your mood was suddenly sour and moody. I thought you were already okay after I gave you and Lady Juliana the time to catch up. I did not listen to your conversation. Unlike the time when you called for Nora.”Alpha King Maxxwell’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “You listened to us?” he asked calmly, but the shaking of his hands told me he was feeling the opposite.Damn it. Why did I have to include Nora? I should learn how to filter my words around him. Looking away, I muttered, “For a brief moment, Your Majesty. I was staying in the next room, but Nora was…” I shrugged, not sure how to put my thoughts in words. “She’s quite expressive. Believe me, I walked away after that and went to the watchtower and saw Sir Elijah. And besides, allow me to use the opportunity to say that Sir Elijah and I did not date. We happened to be at the same time. We sh

"You look… disheveled," Alpha King Maxxwell added. I looked back and saw him not looking in my direction. "M-my apologies, Your Majesty. Let me fix my hair first."Not only the hair but my clothes, still clutching my ripped clothes. I drew a couple of breaths while fixing my hair. However, it was never messy, to begin with. Whatever. I have to get out of here before something happens more than what happened earlier."Walk as fast as you can outside. Others might see you and will spread rumors."My hands froze at the hemline of his shirt. "Are you afraid someone might think something happened between us?"A long pause. When I glanced at my shoulder, I found the alpha king staring at the wall."I only loved one woman in my lifetime.""And who is that lucky woman, Your Majesty?"His back stiffened. "Zenith. My personal servant before you.""But she is dead, Your Majesty!"That certified it. Alpha King Maxxwell was painstakingly waiting for her. His devotion to that unknown woman…."Th

I sighed in the end. No matter how much we debated whether Zenith was alive, no one could verify it. The hopeless romantic alpha king was still searching for her. And if he found her, what would happen to me? She was his personal servant in the first place. Would the woman allow it if I continued serving the alpha king? Or will she get jealous about it?You are thinking about that when you are not sure if she is alive?I wish she were dead.I stiffened at my train of thought.Now, now. Where did that evil thoughts come from? I may be a liar, but I did not wish for someone to die. The idea was not coming from me. Alright?Zenith was the only one who knew if she was alive or not."If she is alive, will the other nobles accept her now?" If they won't, will the alpha king release a decree about that? "Such a headache, right? It's not our business to pry into Alpha King's Maxxwell private life."He gave me a half-shrug. "It isn't, River. We are nothing but His Majesty's followers. The bes

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
