Protect Me Alpha King

35. We Need a Luna

With my brows gathering together, I quipped, “Your Majesty. Are you okay? Why did it feel like you were trying to say something? You can say it. Your humble servant is waiting for you.”

He cleared his throat when he recovered from his trance. "I have nothing to say. Nothing."

"But…" I trailed off, not satisfied with his answer.

The alpha king was full of mystery and I had been itching to uncover all of them one by one. Starting from Zenith. I will use everything I know to my own advantage.

"Drop it, River. You're becoming a nuisance. You can be irritating sometimes."

I grinned at him. "My pack members constantly said that just looking at my face annoyed them, Your Majesty. So it is no wonder you shared the same opinion. No feelings hurt, Your Majesty."

He looked at me sharply. "Don't smile. There is nothing happy about that."

I wiped away the smile from my face and looked at him with a sorrowful expression as if someone had rejected me again.

The alpha king raised his perfect brows at me, while I shrugged it off. "Why that expression again?"

"I don't know. I suddenly got sad, Your Majesty as if my heart has been pierced with the hurtful words of Alpha Erik—"

"Do not mention that bastard's name in my presence, River," he said, cutting me off. He may have seen the look in my eyes and he added, "No more questions. Shut your mouth. I'm tired. Stay here and I will call the twins to fetch you when Elijah arrives.”

And with that, he slammed the door shut, leaving me alone.

I bit my lower lips and stared at the door.

I wondered when Elijah would arrive. I paced back and forth, thinking of ways I could tell Elijah first of my lies, and asked him if he would defend me without questioning why.

As if. Do you think he would side with a slave? His loyalty lies to the alpha king. You're not even a Luna for asking too much, the evil side of me said.

Right. But how will I know if I won't try, right?

If he will agree, I will give him a lifetime free massage whenever he pleases and we will do it alone. Somewhere where no one would see and spread rumors. This was getting out of hand and started to cause me headaches.

Think about what you will do next, River because the moment Elijah found out your lies, he would never teach you how to read and write.

A few knocks on the door stopped me in my train of thought. If only Elijah was the one standing on the other side of the door.

“Enter,” I said and the twins stepped inside. To my dismay. Which was foolish. The alpha king did mention he will call the twins.

"Why are you disappointed at seeing us, River? Are you expecting someone?" they asked in unison.

Gawd.

I was becoming more comfortable with the way they speak.

"It's nothing like that," I lied again.

"Really? Then—" They gasped together when they saw the hole glaring back at them. “River! Are you okay? The alpha king punched the wall right?” they asked with worried expressions on their faces. “Are you hurt?”

Emotionally, yes. But not physically.
