Protect Me Alpha King

Excitement was killing me as I prepared myself for the alpha king's bite.

I clenched my fist.

Finally. After this, I would carry the mark of the alpha king and would proudly wear it like a trophy. The people would look at me with envy and some with hate. I did not care about the latter. They could hate me as much as they want. What mattered most would be the alpha king's mark.

The mark will also save me from anyone's bullying. They will no longer hurt me.

Staying quiet and kind will not save me from anyone's wickedness. Being cunning and using my brain would help me.

King Maxxwell stopped mid-air. I felt his fangs retract, licked my neck, and rested his forehead against mine.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong?" I queried.

"Do you really think I will mark you, River? Do you take me as a fool? I've been serving the throne for a long time, not needing a Luna with me. What made you think I would change my mind just because you came along? Huh?" he spat.

My blood went cold.

Did he just tease me? He played with my emotions.

That makes the two of you even, River. You are going to use him.

"W-what a cruel thing to do, Your Highness."

His lips pressed into a thin line. "It's your fault for expecting too much, River. My decision remains the same." He stepped backward and extended his hands. "What are you waiting for? Resume."

I clenched my fist. I regretted healing him! I really did!

"Understood, Your Highness," I finally said and slipped his trousers into his body. "Done."

"There. You can do it fast, yet you are not compliant earlier," he taunted. "Acting shy."

"What do you want me to do next, Your Highness?" I asked, changing the topic.

"Accompany me to my meeting with the Council."

I snapped my head towards him. "But, Your Highness."

"You will join me. End of discussion. It's already time."

He buttoned his trousers while I stepped backward.

What will I do with the meeting? Serve them coffee? Tea? Drinks? Or act as their secretary? But I am freaking illiterate!

He glanced at my clothes and up at my hair. As if on habit, I flattened my hair to no avail. "Fix yourself."

I. Am. Trying.
