Protect Me, Alpha King 13. I Don't Want to be Your Mate
Excitement was killing me as I prepared myself for the alpha king's bite. I clenched my fist. Finally. After this, I would carry the mark of the alpha king and would proudly wear it like a trophy. The people would look at me with envy and some with hate. I did not care about the latter. They could hate me as much as they want. What mattered most would be the alpha king's mark. The mark will also save me from anyone's bullying. They will no longer hurt me.Staying quiet and kind will not save me from anyone's wickedness. Being cunning and using my brain would help me.King Maxxwell stopped mid-air. I felt his fangs retract, licked my neck, and rested his forehead against mine."Your Highness, is there something wrong?" I queried. "Do you really think I will mark you, River? Do you take me as a fool? I've been serving the throne for a long time, not needing a Luna with me. What made you think I would change my mind just because you came along? Huh?" he spat. My blood went cold. D
Protect Me, Alpha King 14. Smiling and Seducing
The twins gasped while I continued looking at King Maxxwell. I did not know what came into my mind, but it just happened like that. “You don’t want me to be your mate, huh?” the alpha king asked. “Do tell your reasons, River,” he said, emphasizing my name.Having him as my mate would be a big advantage on my part. His Highness could offer me the biggest protection I could get. However, in exchange, my life would always be in peril. “It’s because you do not want me, Your Highness. I don’t want to force myself to be with someone who doesn't like me. My mate rejected me once. I don’t want to suffer again another rejection.”One of the twins put her hand on my shoulder, wanting to sympathize with me. “You are better off with someone who will accept you as you, River.”“Or to stay single or unmated for the rest of your life,” the brunette, Flare offered.I gave them each a small smile, feeling victorious that slowly, I was gaining their attention and compassion. It would take another pu
Protect Me, Alpha King 15. I Need to Teach You a Lesson
“All, rise in honor of the alpha king!” They rose from their seats and bowed to him. “You can settle now.”The alpha king sat in front of them while I was beside him, gawking at them. The alpha king’s council was composed of two men and two gorgeous women each possessing their uniqueness. One man was clad in all black. His cape was adorned by the faces of men. I did not know if they were real or not, but they seemed genuine in my eyes. Was it only me who saw the faces eyes keep glancing around?The second one looked like a prince. Or perhaps he was one. I did not know. The other female was garbed in all pink. A mask found on her face was that of a werewolf and beside her was a real wolf who looked like it was glaring at me, baring its pointed teeth. How could I see she was a woman? It was not because of the color pink on her clothes but because of the intricate designs of her dress. The other woman was dressed in all white and on her side was a bow while the arrow was on her back.
Protect Me, Alpha King 16. I'm Doomed
My head spun at the mere hearing of the word punishments. Images of my life at Haverstone Pack resurfaced again. The whipping. The kicking. The starvation. I clutched my chest as my breathing became faster. I did not want to experience those things again. Too painful.I staggered backward.I messed up. It was a simple mistake, yet bore a great consequence on my part.“Your Highness. Please forgive me for being wrong. It will never happen again, Your Highness.”His eyes glinted and turned sharply as a blade. “You will never learn if I keep on turning a blind eye to your mistakes, River. My personal servant should never commit a single mistake. You have to keep in mind that you are no longer in your pack. Your life will become different and more difficult here depending on your performance.”My life was always difficult even back in my previous pack. However, I just kept those words to myself. I inhaled sharply as my blood turned cold. “Your Highness. Please, I beg of you! Just this

“T-that bad?” I asked when I saw the twin’s expression. “What happened to the woman? Did someone kill her? Did the alpha king kill her?” I asked, continuously. A part of me wanted to figure out what happened to that woman. It seemed like if I knew about her story, I would know more about the alpha king. Knowing more about him would be a must.“Sssh!” the twins hushed. “The guard will hear you! If one of them found out we were talking about her, they were given the power to imprison anyone who mentioned that name.”“Why?” Was that woman powerful enough that the alpha king had decided to carry that order?Flare glared at her sister. “Clara. We are done talking about her. Pretend we did not say anything to River.”Clara panicked. She drew a couple of breaths trying to control her emotions and the only thing I could do was stare at the two of them.I did not understand why a single name carried that power even if she was already dead. If only I had acquired the same power as her. I want
Protect Me, Alpha King 18. Black Heart
“Who are you?” I whispered. "A-are you okay?" I mentally slapped myself for asking the obvious answer. No one would be okay just like that. How could he still have the strength to open his eyes? The blood—his blood dried beside him. I wanted to cover my nose, but I didn't want the stranger to think I was disgusted with him."Can you talk?"The least I could do for him was to give him consideration and mercy. It was too much. I wondered how he remained alive despite the blood loss.My head spun when I imagined the red and metallic blood.I gagged.I can’t stomach it anymore. My vision was getting blurry. Gasping for breath, I went to the iron bars and held them as if my life depended on them. "I'm sorry."“Did you suddenly feel sick after seeing me?” he asked, barely whispering. His breathing was shallow. He should be treated immediately! Why did the guards never pity him? They could have at least brought the pack doctor!I glanced in his direction.I hesitated. “You have to tend you
Protect Me, Alpha King 19. Death for Black Heart
The guard bowed at the alpha king while I stood, waiting for him to fully enter the dungeon.Hope flourished in my heart. Did he have a change of heart? Did he finally take pity on me? Or did he miss me? The latter would be impossible, so it must be the former. "Your Highness," I declared. His eyes darted around. "Your Highness," I said again when he did not acknowledge my presence. "It is a pleasure to see you here.""Are you really?" he asked. His steps echoed along the four walls of the dungeon. As if they had awakened from their slumber, I felt a sudden movement among the prisoners. The iron bars shook and made a screeching sound. "Black Heart!"I gasped. They did not even hesitate to call the alpha king by that name.Lips curling, the alpha king said, "Black Heart? If I did not visit this place, I wouldn't know I have another moniker."The iron bars vibrated and the captives started cursing the alpha king for imprisoning them inside the dungeon.The other guards were all ov
Protect Me, Alpha King 20. Nobody
The man was suddenly on his feet, testing his shoulders if it was fully functional, and smirked. He jumped and danced to soundless music and smiled in triumph when he realized he was fine. "The world is full of surprises," he snickered. Gone was his voice which sounded like death and was replaced by something lively. He jumped again as if he was a child, then stared at the ground and saw the maggots, then stomped the maggots around him.I shivered and felt disgusted looking at what he had done. The urge to throw up resurfaced. "Stop that!" I chastised while covering my mouth. With my hand on my mouth, I stared at him longer. He looked even younger. It seemed he and the alpha king had the same age. His hair was greasy, which looked like a bird’s nest because of the dirt clinging on each strand from not taking a bath for so long, was unusually long and reached past his shoulders. His nose was crooked as if he had been to countless fights. And above all, he smelled blood.He beamed,
