Protect Me, Alpha King 46. We Never Kissed
"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 stared at the alpha king in disbelief as my mind tried to digest the words he uttered. “It is sudden, I know. But a must. You have a week to prepare yourself, River.”I stumbled back into bed. A week. It was not even enough for me to prepare myself. Too soon. “Alpha Wade wanted your presence. He wanted to see if you are doing good in the palace or not.”The air around us seemed scant and I gasped for more. My eyes watered as I pounded my chest, for easier breathing.The alpha king’s eyes narrowed. “Are you okay?”Who would be okay after hearing his announcement? My mind refused to believe it. I wanted to run and hide until the day the alpha king went back to Haverstone Pack. Oh, gawd. I think I’m gonna throw up. “But why do we have to go back there? I don’t want to!” I cried. “I will go anywhere, Your Majesty, but not to my pack. You are punishing me, right? This is the punishment for lying to you about Sir Elijah.”I jumped out of bed and paced back and forth. Impossible. I was o

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

"Elijah! Please tell your horse to stop!" J screamed at the top of my lungs, which he only answered with laughter. I couldn't fathom opening my eyes because if I did, I would only get more scared. "Relax, River. We got you.""No! Your horse wanted me dead!" I answered, still wrapping my arms around his waist. The air blew my hair, and some strands slapped my cheeks hard, but I could not even collect the strands! Everything was difficult. One single move, and I may fall off. Damn it! I wanted this journey to end! If only I knew Leah would hate me, I would never join Elijah. "She's only playing, River."Playing? It seemed like it was not the case for me.Leah liked being petted by Elijah. She ran faster whenever the man praised her. What was more irritating was that Elijah seemed not to mind that I nearly had a heart attack while riding behind him. "Elijah!""We are nearly there," he answered. "Close your eyes if you can't handle the pace."And I did. The rest of the journey was

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

I jumped and shrieked simultaneously while glaring at the newcomer—Nobody. Did he lure me into this alley for what purpose?“Do you want to kill me, huh?” I asked while clutching my chest, beating frantically. He put his hands in the air as if he was silently surrendering while his eyes twinkled in mischief."Why are you acting as if we are friends, huh?" I asked again. From where I was standing, I could still hear the people selling their fabrics and herbal medicines. "I am not, River," he answered as if he was pouting. Nobody (as he told me) was better compared to his state before we separated. He looked handsome. He is an enemy of the alpha king. Why do you waste your time on him?Even if he was the alpha king’s enemy did not mean my enemy also. He chuckled, not minding my erratic heartbeat. “Scaredy-cat.”“Why are you here? You are a rogue. The alpha king is looking for you. After what you did to the dungeon.”"I came by to say my greetings. And to give you this." He pulled

But, of course, Elijah was the total opposite of an asshole. It was difficult to hate him. And if he continued showing me this kind of luxury, it would become more complex. After a couple seconds, I said, ''Can I say something, Elijah?'' I asked while clutching the pendant. ''Yes. You may. Do not hesitate to say what is in your mind, River.'' ''Why are you doing this?'' His forehead knotted. "Doing what? I don't follow you.'' I sighed. ''Why are you being good to me? It's confusing on my part. Is that because you also see that woman in me? If we don't have the same similarity, will you still treat me like this?'' What was the point of not saying it out loud? If he wanted honesty, he should be able to handle my question. My gaze went back to the servants. They were still looking at us while pretending to sweep the ground. "Are we thinking about the same woman?" "None other than." He fell into deep thought and confessed, ''I never liked that woman, to begin with. If you resem

In an instant, I closed the distance between us and put both of my hands on the hemline of the alpha king's hemline of his shirt while painting a smile on my lips. Alpha King Maxxwell did not like my smile, and his suspicions grew. Oops. I wiped my smile.Raising his eyebrows, he looked at me using his penetrating eyes, which I returned with the same intensity. "You're planning something, River. Whatever that is, you drop it. I have no time to play with your games."That was the alpha king. Nothing slipped under his nose. I beamed at him, pretending he did not catch me. "I don't understand what you are talking about, Your Majesty. I'm just helping you take a bath. Nothing else."He narrowed his gaze at me. "You smiled sweetly, but something's telling me you have an evil plan.""Evil? I don't have evil plans, Your Majesty," I retorted with an innocent look on my face. "May I?" I asked before I took off his jacket, followed by his undershirt, and set them aside. I stopped when I s
