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
Protect Me, Alpha King 25: You Are Nothing Like Zenith
Zenith. That name again. Why did I always hear that name from his mouth? What was the two’s relationship? Did they have some sort of forbidden romance and the alpha king’s people were against it? I wanted to know more about them. If only the people’s lips were not sealed, then gathering information about their relationships was easy as pie. If only I could ask him about that...that would be magnificent. However, knowing the alpha king, he never wanted any slave to pry on his life. That was unacceptable and we did not have the right as slaves.“I’m not Zenith, Your Majesty. My name is River. But if you want to call me by that name, you can call me that. Or do you want me to call her?” I asked, feigning ignorance about Zenith.His vision cleared, recognition in his eyes, and his mouth pressed into a thin line. “River. It is you.” Disappointment crossed his handsome face before he hid it away. Not wanting to be affected by his reaction, I beamed at him. “None other than your personal
Protect Me, Alpha King 26. Burning in Hot Magma
"Tell me something about that woman," I pressed, not wanting to be left behind. "It's too late to retreat, Nora. You already mentioned the name of someone who shouldn't be named. If you won't tell me, I will inform the alpha king that you spread gossip about the woman," I threatened. I wouldn't tell the alpha king about what Nora did, but using it to gain some information would be a great help. Nora's breathing accelerated. I felt sorry for what I said, but this was also for my benefit. "Nora. Tell me what you know." Nora glanced at each side, on the quiet hallway of the palace, and gulped. Her face went ashen, as she played with her hands mumbling some incoherent words. The only words I was able to decipher were punishment and death. "I never say anything," Nora denied, turning her back and walking faster. "Let's not talk about this if you value your life. Even if you are his personal slave, he will not spare you!" One time she looked horrified and the next thing she was laughing
Protect Me, Alpha King 27. A Rendezvous in the Watchtower
Another step would take, but then, this time, I heard Nora's monologue. "Your Majesty, you're so good at this!" Nora exclaimed, her breathing labored. "More! More!" she chanted. "I fucking waited for this, Your Majesty. For you to fuck me. More!"Nora was screaming in ecstasy as the alpha king continued to pound at her flesh. "Your Majesty! Yes! Yes! Yes!"My steps faltered as I craned my neck forward, and looked at the alpha king's chamber as if I had a sight that could allow me to see them. The burning pain continued as if it was ripping my soul apart. What the fuck was happening to me?Don't stop. Go on! I screamed internally but my feet wouldn't cooperate. I did not call it mere curiosity, but stupidity. How could someone eavesdrop on two individuals having sex?That was not my doing back at the pack house. "Don't stop, Your Majesty! Oh, god. I will die if you stop. Fuck me hard, Your Majesty. Don't ever stop! Yes! Yes!"Images of what they were doing flashed in my mind. The a
Protect Me, Alpha King 28. The Rumors Spreading Among the Servants
“Why did you stop?” Elijah asked when my fingers froze. He attempted to look in my direction, but I hastily massaged his back. Again. I released a shaky breath, mentally scolding my mind for thinking scandalous thoughts. Shame on me for remembering it. “I just recalled something, Elijah.” It’s about the alpha king and Nora, I wanted to add it but stopped myself. Why did my mind constantly wander with the two?“Who could that be?”I smiled even more even if he could not see it. “N-nothing. Not important.”Knowing I did not want to talk about it, Elijah let me drop the subject, nodded, and dropped his head on the back of the chair. “The alpha king must be lucky to have you, River. You’re so good at this. If only I can buy him from you.”Selling slaves between them was acceptable. “I came with a price, Elijah. With all the skills I have right now.”I put some oil again on my hands when it was no longer slippery and continued massaging his back.Elijah moaned. “You’re a keeper, River
Protect Me, Alpha King 29. Do You Want to Know the Truth?
29. Do You Want to Know the Truth?"River. You're sweating. Are you okay?" the twins asked altogether, suspicion in their eyes. "Do you know something about the scandal that happened last night?"My hands went cold and I couldn't see them in my eyes. The only scandal I knew about was between the alpha king and Nora. Nothing else. When I did not say anything, the twins pressed, even more, not wanting to be left behind from the juiciest gossip around the palace. "Hey. Do you want to say something?" they asked. "Say it. We will never confide in a single soul."I doubted it since Clara was not the type who would keep her mouth shut. To be safe, it was better to leave them from the spotlight. I chuckled and glanced sideways. Not really looking at them in their eyes. Damn it. Who was the fool again who spread that gossip? How would I meet Elijah again if our first meeting last night resulted in these kinds of rumors? Did he already know about this? Or not?"Earth to River? You're staring
Protect Me, Alpha King 30. Exaggerations and Hot Kisses
The truth coated with lies were the words Nora would only hear from me. Those were also the words Nora had been waiting for. She wanted me to spill the beans, endangering my name and maybe angering the alpha king for tinting his name. The face of the alpha king would always be dignified at all times and refrain from doing something dishonorable. Improper. Inappropriate. Which was the complete opposite of my life back at Haverstone Pack. I was called Dog Slave while here…if someone will name me one, will be punished. "Is that right, Nora? You want the truth?" I taunted her. The twins shook their heads in my direction, stopping me from whatever plans I had in mind. "Of course! So that the twins will know how evil you are. Tell us. Say how desperate you are to gain the alpha king and Sir Elijah's attention and how you will use them at your, River."I smiled inwardly. This woman deserved a pat on her back for seeing past me, but too bad. I would never tell her she was right or that
