Protect Me Alpha King

The water suddenly felt ice cold at the alpha king’s announcement.

I muttered curses infinitely in my mind, not wanting to follow him. Being with the alpha king inside his bath awakened a lot of emotions in me that I didn't even want to acknowledge.

However, if it means gaining his affection (since it was already my goal when I stepped foot into his kingdom), will I fathom doing it? Besides, it was only a bath, right? There was nothing dangerous about that unless something happen between us, which would be far from the reality now.

"Well…why are you suddenly silent, River? You're usually full of sarcastic remarks and rebuttals. Did your tongue finally decide to retreat?" he asked, snickering.

Going into the bath was not a problem. It was me. I did not know what I would be doing during that duration. Aside from that, so far, he was not yet doing anything against my will.

Clearing my throat and refusing to be intimidated, I said, "It's nothing like that, Your Majesty."

His scowl deepened, yet he was still handsome in my eyes. Whatever he did or the facial expressions he did, there was nothing hideous about it.

I swam a little further away from the alpha king which made his eyebrows straighten even more.

Not the right move, given my goal, but I had to think more. I had to know how long I was willing to do just to gain his affection.

“Your Majesty, I think your other group of slaves is fit for what you want,” I suggested, averting my gaze. "They can perfectly do the job well, Your Majesty. They can do more than me."

Not wanting to talk with the distance between us, he swam towards me while I backed away until my back hit the cold.
