Protect Me Alpha King

I could feel the stares of my packmates as they bade goodbye to King Maxxwell. They did not understand why the alpha king accepted me as his mate when in fact there were others out there who were more gorgeous and sexier than me as Alpha Erik said.

Unknown to them, I already sold myself to this person in exchange for showing Alpha Erik that someone still wanted and desired me.

"I wish for your safe journey, Your Highness. The coach was already prepared. But if you want a horse, I could offer you to find horses that you can use on your journey."

"Coach is fine since I have River with me. I don't want him to be uncomfortable on our journey."

He drew me closer to his body and the women sighed in envy.

"Are you really sure about this, Your Highness? Perhaps there was something wrong with the Mating Ceremony last night. There was no way that woman could be your mate."

I stilled.

"Your words carry some weight, Alpha Erik. Explain. Are you River's mate?"

Everyone held their breath. Including me.

Alpha Erik looked around and saw everyone was watching him, waiting for his answer.

Alpha Erik gave everyone a nervous laugh. "Me? The servant's mate? There was no way the Moon Goddess would play a prank on me, Your Highness."

"Then does it mean the Moon Goddess played a prank on me? River is my mate."

The others nodded.

I gaped at the alpha king. Why was it easy for him to admit we were mates? Was it because we were not true mates?

Alpha Erik nervously laughed. "That's not what I meant, Your Highness."

"It is, to me. Regardless of River's status, I will accept her as mine since I have been looking for her my entire life."
