Protect Me Alpha King

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. One by one without minding that I was with him inside the chamber. My heart hammered against my chest as I listened to the rustling of his clothes as he groaned and slowly took everything except his pants.

My cheeks burned in discomfort.

I stood there frozen, not sure what I would do. I realized asking him to mark me just to prove to Alpha Erik that someone will accept me for who I am was childish. And a bit immature?

“No. That is not childishness. It is only good that you seek revenge against the jerk,” I told myself.
