บททั้งหมดของ Protect Me, Alpha King : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

"Alpha Erik," I whispered against my breath.I felt my breath leave out of my lungs as realization dawned on me. Alpha Erik? Why did it have to be him?I staggered back and felt the air in my lungs left. The alpha of the Haverstone? But Iris made sure she would be the alpha’s mate.I was on the brink of running away from him when he noticed my presence.“Slave!” he called me. “Do not run,” he ordered. “Face me.”I halted. Thank the Moon Goddess we were all alone. Or others might have known we were mates. “A-Alpha Erik,” I greeted. “A pleasant evening.”He was alone. No women. The more he went closer to me, the more the scent was too strong. I no longer need my wolf to certify that we were indeed mates.His lips curled as he looked at my body. “At first glance, everyone would think you not a slave because of your dress.”I slightly bowed my head. To appease his mood. “It is I, your humble slave, Alpha Erik. Forgive me for disturbing you in this place. I will go now,” I said softly.

I slapped my mouth when I realized what I had asked. An alpha king marking a slave? Impossible. There was no history recorded about that. "What can you give in return?" King Maxxwell asked me again. "Give and take, River. That's how the world works. Marking someone is not an easy thing to do."“And it is usually done between mates. But we are not, Your Majesty.” I looked at the ground realizing I have nothing in return. No money. No identity. "I-I can offer my body, Your Majesty. If you want. I can be your slave. You can ask me to clean your kingdom and work with the other servants you have."He looked at me sharply. "Your body?""I-I can give you a moment of pleasure?" Even if I did not know how? Perhaps I will learn if King Maxxwell would teach me. His cold stairs burned at my soul. "I have lots of women waiting for my disposal," he said. "You're nothing compared to them, River. They are more experienced than you. Besides, you look like a child. I do not want anyone thinking I co

I gasped as I watched King Maxxwell. Yes. I said that I will do anything for him, for him to mark me, but not this fast. I was not yet prepared for this. Alpha Erik looked at me with disgust. "Your Highness, are you sure taking Dog Slave with you?" Alpha Erik asked. As much as I hated him, he had a point there. The alpha king’s brows furrowed. "Dog Slave? Is that how you will address my mate behind her back?" King Maxxwell scolded. Alpha Erik was embarrassed. "A slip of the tongue—""Why? Is there something wrong with our sleeping arrangements?" His Highness asked, cutting off Alpha Erik’s words. Alpha Erik shook his head a couple of times. "N-none, Your Highness. If you insist upon it. Who am I to question you?"King Maxxwell grabbed me and we stepped into the room before saying, "River needed her clothes. Be sure to give it to her."And the door shut behind Alpha Erik's face.And just like that, we were alone. I stared at King Maxxwell nervously as he took off his clothes. On

I was stuck. With no way to get away from King Maxxwell's hold. It seemed like he was aware of what I was doing and his grip tightened. Damn it. I cannot break away? How can I break away?It was then that I realized I could not. Was he afraid that I would run away and stop going with him to the palace? Or was he only making sure that I will do the end of my deal since he did the same?I sighed. Regardless of the reason, I was not comfortable being with him. He was scary. "Your Highness," I whispered under my breath."Zenith... "I froze. A woman's name? Who could that be? Or was he only dreaming and calling a random name? No. He called the name with so much passion as if he knew her deeply. Curiosity got ahead of me and waited for him to say something more. Something that would give me more information about the woman. "F-forgive me...It was my fault."King Maxxwell trashed and released me from his hold. Sweat soaked his forehead and clutched his chest as if he was in pain. H

The rogues continued firing at us while I rooted on the ground, shivering in fear. My blood went cold as one of the bullets passed through and hit the seat of the coach. I shrieked. Breathing was labored. "River! Do not panic or it will kill you!"King Maxxwell continued protecting me even if it should never be the case. I should be the one protecting him! Not the other way around!I glanced at him. His eyebrows met. His fist clenched.My lips quivered, tears brimming in my eyes. "Your Highness, will we die now?" I whispered under my breath.He looked at me and scoffed. I shrieked again when another bullet grazed my skin and fell to the ground. "No one is dying, River. You have to serve me, first in return for helping you. Stay here," he commanded.Before he could go away, I grabbed his hand. I gasped when sparks flew between our connected hands. He gritted his teeth as he stared at it for a long time. What. Just. Happened?Confused, I pulled my hands and touched them. The alpha
