บททั้งหมดของ Protect Me, Alpha King : บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

The alpha king's eyes were pleading, begging me to answer him. His eyes got watery as the moments passed when he thought I would never answer his question.Defeated, both of his hands fell on his side. "I get it. I don't matter to you. I was nothing but an asshole, too, River. They called me Black Heart, saying I did not have a heart, and if I did, it was darker than a pen's ink."I sucked in a breath. Did he know about his nickname?"I will not take it against you if—""You do matter to me, Maxxwell," I answered hastily, finally gathering the courage to do so. "You do, Your Majesty."I did not think it was because of the bond between us. His eyes lit up, and he held my hand. "Is that the truth, River?"I yanked my hand away. "It is. But you have Zenith now. She's your queen. It is better if you forget about me. About our bond."Maxxwell stepped forward. "I'm planning to make you my concubine. If you want."I gaped at him, disbelief in my eyes. Even if Delta Isagani told me it mig

I leaned on the doorframe, trying to get hold of my emotions. In the background, the dining table was once again noisy, as if nothing had happened. ‘Where are you going, My Queen?’It was the alpha king in my mind using our mind link. I snorted. 'Funny. Now, I am your queen. You could not even say that in front of your beloved Zenith. Go back to her, Maxxwell. I'm tired for today.''Please don't hide from me. I miss you."My chest tightened at his request. If only there were no Zenith between us, I would be happy to hear those words. 'Stop saying things which you don't mean. I don't like it.''I meant it, My Queen.''If you mean it, you will choose me over her.' Silence. Again. 'That's what I am saying, Maxxwell. You are only good with your words and never with your actions.''Where are you staying now?''Really? You now have the time to ask me after going with Zenith and forgetting my presence for one week? What kind of bastard are you, Maxxwell?''I deserved that. A lot had happ

I hide the dagger on my hip and faced Dawn. Her eyes were wary and watched my every move. I knew she was not the type to report to Maxxwell about what she heard this evening. I was glad I did not necessarily give my permission in the revolt against the kingdom. I felt butterflies in my stomach when she continued looking at me as if I committed the greatest sin of all mankind."Dawn. You don't have to look at me like that," I whispered. "Is the banquet done? I came here to take some fresh air to breathe but Tristan suddenly showed.""River. Entertaining him was a mistake.""I never thought he would show up," I explained. "River. Do you believe in his words? That's a rogue we are talking about here. They are cunning and the only thing they wanted is to destroy this kingdom. That's the only thing they want."I looked away. "The age of the woman who might have put me in the river and Master Henderson's words coincided, Dawn. I cannot stay still after hearing it."I heard her resounding

As I sauntered towards the library, I tried to control my breathing as pain and betrayal continued attacking me. Sunflower was also not helping when she continued wailing in the background. Sometimes, I think it would be better to be alone with myself than be with someone who always hurts. ‘Stop it, will you? You’re getting irritating, Sun!’ I scolded her.‘You don’t love the alpha king! It is who only lovs him! It is I who is only hurting! Is your heart frozen, River?’ she asked. ‘It’s not like that.’ I did not know anymore what words I would say to appease her. She would never listen to me! She is stubborn and thinks she is the only one hurting. When in fact, it was not the case! ‘Fine. If you want to drown in your pain, do it. Give Zenith the satisfaction.’‘That woman! I don’t care if you are siblings or not! I will scratch her pretty face using my paws!’‘You will never do that, okay?’‘I will! She’s a bitch! She should never have come back!’ Using her paws, Sunflower wiped th

I closed my eyes after reading the contents of the records while clutching them to my chest. There was nothing extraordinary about how the recordkeeper recorded it. In fact, the words used were simple, nothing extravagant. Nothing fancy. But despite that, I could see a glimpse of how Melissa and Robert’s life were back then. They were fated mates. Tristan's words and information coincide with what was written in the record. Melissa Dove was Robert Dove's fated mate and was sold at the auction house and bought by the alpha king as a married couple and brought to the kingdom. They were twenty years old back then. Melissa worked as a chambermaid while Robert sometimes acted as the alpha king’s guard in addition to the royal’s warriors. Robert was also known as a healer, sometimes asked by the pack doctor to assist him. Just like me. Melissa and Robert both stayed at the palace for almost thirty years, and the last of their records said the woman was heavily pregnant when the two ran
