Protect Me Alpha King novel Chapter 104

Alpha King Maxxwell was right.

I was searching for the right time that Zenith would be alone, but she was like a leech who was always on the alpha king’s side, never leaving the man. It seemed like she was scared someone might steal the man away from her.

As moments passed, I felt disgusted at how she would leech herself to Maxxwell. And the more I looked at them, it seemed like the alpha king was no longer comfortable with what she was doing. She was not even sensitive to what the man was feeling.

Zenith was always there in every Council meeting. She was also instructing the servants on what they would do, especially now that her Proclamation Ceremony was fast approaching, which reminded me that I had to be there.

Damn.

It left my mind.

Change of plan.

I will leave the palace after the proclamation ceremony, and I will tell the alpha king about it. Suppose given a chance for that.

A servant passed by, bringing some kind of flower. I was not fond of flowers, anyway. Blocking her path, I said, “Where will you bring that?”

She bowed at me. Almost everyone knew I was supposed to be the queen if not for Zenith’s return. They also knew that I was the alpha king’s second-chance mate. Some accepted me, but some did not.

“Miss River. Queen Zenith asked us to bring any flowers to decorate the hallway for the upcoming ceremony. She is waiting for this one.”

“Is she alone?”

“Yes, Miss. Alpha King Maxxwell left, saying he had somewhere else to go.”

Perfect.

“Where is she?”

“She is currently in the hallway, Miss.”

“Allow me to give it to her personally.” And without asking for permission, I yanked the flower pot away from her. The servant gasped. “Don’t worry. She will never know it was you who gave it to me.”

I found Zenith instructing the servants where everything should be positioned. She was barking orders at all the servants, who were all nervous about her.

The dressmaker approached her, talking about something. Then, the man showed him some catalog of dresses. The woman pointed to something, and after that, the man hurried away.

Before anyone could approach her, I strolled towards her, beaming at her.

“Your Grace. Where will I put this?”

She did not return my happiness.

“You!” she exclaimed. My presence was enough to ruin her day.

Not letting her anger ruin my day, I replied, “Yes, Your Grace? It is I, your humble servant. Where will I put this pot? My hands are already sore from holding this one.”

Her face scrunched in disgust. “Why are you here? Every time I see you, something bad will always happens. Is it not enough that you took away the alpha king last night?”

I shrugged. “We only talk. Don’t be jealous. Besides, you have the alpha king yourself. No one will take him away from you.”

“He is mine,” she snarled. "Mine alone."

“Oh, I did not know you are the possessive type. I wonder if the alpha king felt the same?” I asked, acting as if I was thinking.

“I will ask the alpha king to banish you.”

I flipped my hair. “No need to do that, Your Grace. I will be out of your sight forever a few days from now. Rest easy, will you? You flatter me so much, Your Grace. I did not know you were extra observant of me. I am not a threat to you.” Especially if I will verify that we will be siblings after this.

Queen Zenith narrowed her eyes. “You’re always not up to good.”

“Perhaps you are only jealous of me, Your Grace. Jealous that I may snatch the alpha king away from you. Don’t worry. I won’t do that unless the alpha king is a willing victim. If you know what I mean.”

“Fuck you!” she spat.

The servants around us stopped whatever they were doing and looked in our direction.
