Protect Me Alpha King novel Chapter 33

With a stubborn look on my face, I looked at the alpha king, not wanting to back down at him. "I said you are only jealous of Sir Elijah," I repeated.

Oh, Moon Goddess.

What had gotten in my mind when I did a great job of angering him?

Consider yourself a goner after this, River, another part of my mind said. Alpha King Maxxwell will toss you to the bottom part of the ocean and will put a stone on both of your feet.

Yeah. I was a fool for fighting him, but my mind couldn't stop fighting back. I was certain I would harvest this stubbornness.

"Why would I, River?"

"That's the confusing part, Your Majesty. You have everything. You have a harem. A handful of slaves. A battalion of guards. Warriors. The people. And you have me."

"I have you?"

"Yes. You have me," I said confirming his statement.

"I do not have your loyalty, River which is one of the greatest mistakes you did. After what happened with Elijah and you, you will side with him."

Wait. Was that jealousy I was hearing in his voice? No. No. The alpha king was not the jealous type, right?

I stepped forward. "I am loyal to you, Your Majesty," I lied with a straight face.

"Enough of your falsehoods, River. You cannot make a fool out of me."

I widened my eyes. "Fooling you? I am not that wicked, Your Majesty!"

"As of now, I am forbidding you to meet Elijah in whatever places, especially the watchtower where you would do a lot of sinful things."

Sinful things, my ass. There was nothing sinful when I met Elijah on the watchtower. I only massaged him!

I balled my fist and it trembled beside me. How would I learn to read and write if I was forbidden now to meet him? This was unacceptable!

"Sinful things? Is that considered sinful if we are mates?"

I bit my lower lip and drew blood.

Oh, Moon Goddess. I would just offer my apologies to Elijah after this. This was what they called white lies. If I do not say this, then my goal will not be realized.

The alpha king strolled towards me, his steps echoing against the four walls of his chamber.

"Mates you say?"

Just stick to your lies, River. There was no turning back.

"Yes. We are mates."

"Your second chance mate?"

The werewolf can have a maximum of two mates (courtesy of the Moon Goddess' kindness to her offspring) if the other mate rejected us. But if the second chance mate still rejected a werewolf, there would be no other choice except to carry the pain of the severed connection between the two.

"Yes, Your Majesty. And we already talked about it. He told me that we will look for the right time to ask for your approval but rumors about what happened between us spread like wildfire. Everything went out of hand so I decided to come clean with you before you will hear it from the other servants. I hope you won't—"

I gasped when he suddenly punched the wall beside me, causing a crack.

Trails of blood dropped down from his fist as his breathing quickened, throwing me a murderous look.

I looked back and forth as if looking for someone to help me. The back of my hair stood, silently warning me that I am in a dangerous situation in the presence of the alpha king.

"Y-your Majesty…tell me what angered you."
