Protect Me, Alpha King 17. Dungeon
“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,
Protect Me, Alpha King 21. Explosions and Escape
“Is that true, River? You healed the rogue?” the twins asked at the same time. “Did the alpha king know about this? You should tell him, River. You will be a great asset to the alpha king. You will gain his favor!” they said, their eyes twinkling. My eyes darted from side to side. Anything but not their questioning gaze. I hated lying straight at their faces. It made me feel sick, but what could I do? I had to protect myself. Damn that rogue! I knew it. He was never the type who would keep a secret. I gave them a small smile. “I am not. I do not have that ability.”“All good. There’s nothing to treat now. The wounds healed cleanly. I thought you said this person is dying?” the doctor who examined the rogue announced. The guard looked at the rogue confused. “I was definitely right. I saw it with my own eyes.”“His wolf helped him. That’s the only possible explanation right now.”“But…”The doctor packed his bag and went to the other cell. The guard who was guarding him told me he
Protect Me, Alpha King 22. Taking a Bath
I hastily stood and faced the alpha king, and bowed. It turned out he was not the only one. On his side was another man. It was the prince— Elijah. Back then, I saw him as the playful one, but this time, it seemed he turned into someone serious. His movements were alert, constantly looking at the side for any potential enemies. Other than Elijah, there were no more warriors. "Your Majesty," I said, reminded of what the rogue had taught me. It should be Your Majesty. Not Your Highness. "You're here. It's too dangerous to be out in the open. The rogues are attacking the dungeon!"How did he find me here? Did he see I was talking to the rogue? Possibly not. If he did, he wouldn't be talking to me now. The words of the rogue echoed in my mind. He wanted this person dead. Alpha King Maxxwell cocked his brows. "They can try, but they won't succeed. My warriors are already working. Who were you talking to earlier, River?"My heart skipped a beat. Did he see it? No. He did not. Try to a
Protect Me, Alpha King 23. New Responsibility
Bath in the water? With him? Looking up, I examined the alpha king's face, looking for any sign that he was kidding.He was not.His dark eyebrows were perfectly still, as his gaze bore into mine.Oh, Moon Goddess. What kind of punishment was this?I chuckled, trying to hide what I was feeling right now—anxiety.I hid my hands behind my back as images of what he was asking flashed in my memories. Me with the naked alpha king. Inside the tub. "Your Majesty…is that for real? Like really? I will join you in your bath?"The tension spread on my body and rested on my neck, and put my hands on that part to ease the pain. Damn it. When I entered this palace, it was not my mission to flirt with him so that he would want me and would give me anything I wanted. All I wanted was his help so that I would know something about my parents. He moved his head from side to side. "It is. I never joke around, River. It's such a waste of my time."I gulped as my gaze darted to his nakedness. His d
Protect Me, Alpha King 24. It is You, I want...
The water suddenly felt ice cold at the alpha king’s announcement. I muttered curses infinitely in my mind, not wanting to follow him. Being with the alpha king inside his bath awakened a lot of emotions in me that I didn't even want to acknowledge. However, if it means gaining his affection (since it was already my goal when I stepped foot into his kingdom), will I fathom doing it? Besides, it was only a bath, right? There was nothing dangerous about that unless something happen between us, which would be far from the reality now. "Well…why are you suddenly silent, River? You're usually full of sarcastic remarks and rebuttals. Did your tongue finally decide to retreat?" he asked, snickering. Going into the bath was not a problem. It was me. I did not know what I would be doing during that duration. Aside from that, so far, he was not yet doing anything against my will.Clearing my throat and refusing to be intimidated, I said, "It's nothing like that, Your Majesty."His scowl deep
