Protect Me Alpha King

86. Midnight

Lady Juliana grabbed the alpha king's hands and put them in her chest, forcing the man to knead her

breast.

How much will she lower herself to get Maxxwell's attention?

In all fairness, the alpha king did not take advantage of the woman and tried to free his hand.

Still not aware of my presence, Lady Juliana said, "This body is all yours, Your Majesty. Take it this

instant. I don't care."

Disgusted, I walked faster, with my heart hammering against my chest.

"Lady Juliana. Think of your royal status!" Maxxwell growled. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

A single tear escaped from the woman's eyes, and it looked like a pearl against the darkness.

The woman continued to attack Maxxwell, using her lips.

My breathing became labored.

Jealousy sprang to life. Not mine. Perhaps it was from Sunflower. The need to protect the alpha king

from Lady Juliana's evil plan was stronger.

My hand shook.

The need to pull out her hair (despite her royal status) became stronger than ever.

When I was only a few inches from them, the alpha king sensed my presence and pulled away from

Lady Juliana.

With both fists at my sides, I tried to keep calm, even if I was fuming inside. Sunflower was growling,

baring her fangs at Lady Juliana, on the verge of attacking the noble lady.

"M-my Queen," the alpha king said, his face white as snow as if I caught him stealing something. He

looked at Lady Juliana and realized they were inches closer to each other and met me halfway.

'We will talk after this, Maxxwell,' I uttered, using the mind link we shared.

The alpha king groaned. 'I thought we would only talk, River.'

'We will talk later,' I insisted, gritting my teeth.

Not throwing a single glance at him, I stopped in front of Lady Juliana.

Biting back the curses I wanted to spit, I smiled at the woman, even if that was the last thing I wanted to

do right now.

However, I was not jealous. Period. This was not envy, right?

'Fight her!' Sunflower growled. 'Show her that Maxxwell is ours from the beginning!'

'That's not what I am mad about, Sun.'

I felt offended that this woman dared to kiss my man even if she knew the alpha king was already

paired with me, and then what? Did she choose to meet at midnight? She was planning to be fishy, and

I was glad I woke up at this unholy hour and found them.

"Your Majesty. I found your bed empty," I started. "I missed your presence and looked for you here.

Only to find the two of you kissing? I am offended, Your Majesty."

Lady Juliana crossed her fingers in front of her chest. "We were just talking."

I stared at Lady Juliana in disbelief. "Talking? I saw you kissed him. Shove yourself to him. Grab his

hands and put them in your breast."

Lady Juliana's face flushed with embarrassment.

"N-nothing happened like that," she lied.

"My Queen. Let's go back to our quarters, shall we?"

He nudged my arms, but I glared at him, which made him silent. He knew it was partly his fault. He

permitted this rendezvous in the middle of the night without their attendants, and he thought Lady

Juliana would not plan anything.

"Lady Juliana and I still have something to clarify, Your Majesty. If you want to go, you can."

"I won't. Not unless I bring you with me."

"What do you want to talk about?" Lady Juliana asked, narrowing her eyes.

I laughed. "Milady. You kept on telling me I seduced the alpha king. But from what I saw earlier, you

were like tempting my man, Lady Juliana. I just saw you pull him and kiss him. Did you miss his lips

already?" I clutched the alpha king in his arms and leaned on him, making the woman more envious.

The alpha king stiffened. He was guilty. Not minding him, I continued taunting the noble lady. "Too bad.

He is mine now, and I do not share. What's mine is mine? I'm possessive of what I own, Lady Juliana. If

you like, you can go back to your fiance's arms. Alpha Erik should be the one whom you should be

kissing."

"Damn you!" she spat, her hands trembling.

"Back to you, milady," I answered sweetly.

"I hated you, Dog Servant!"

My smile vanished from my face.

Why did the moniker haunt me still?

"What did you say, Lady Juliana?"

I stepped forward and was on the verge of attacking her when suddenly, the alpha king's hands

stopped me.

I looked back and saw him shaking his head.

Seeing the alpha king's warning made Lady Juliana more confident, making her feel that he was siding

with her.

"Dog Servant," she repeated. "I asked about your past in this pack, and they said you are the omega. A

slave. A servant. The lowest of the low. If the alpha king does not accept you as his mate, you will

remain nothing but his attendant. Because that is where you belong—serving anyone above you."

Lady Juliana's eyes were full of menace. She believed she was above me. Yes. That might be the

case, but when I rise to power when the alpha king proclaims me as his queen, I will make sure Lady

Juliana will bow before me.

I held my hand in front of my face and clapped at her.

"That was an inspiring message, Lady Juliana. It made me want to seduce the alpha king until the

proclamation is faster than ever," I taunted.

"My Queen. That's enough."

I glared back at the alpha king which made him retreat.

Lady Juliana was red as a tomato, and I loved seeing her that way. Even if she was of royal blood, it

would never deny the fact that what she greatly wanted was mine now—the alpha king

As if looking for her comrade, she stared at the alpha king, her eyes pleading.

"Your Majesty. Is that the attitude of the queen that you wanted? She has no breeding. Always picking

a fight with someone," she spat. "If you will choose me, you will never lose face. I can carry the queenly

duties perfectly 'cause I was born for it."

Shaking my head, I said, "Lady Juliana. You have no shame. You came from a royal bloodline, yet

you're acting without class. Like a commoner, a servant, and a slave."

"How dare you!"

Before Lady Juliana's palm touched my cheeks, a strong wind passed between us.

Lady Juliana gasped, and there I saw someone stop her hand. A newcomer. Her fiance. Alpha Erik.

Glaring at Alpha Erik, Lady Juliana said, "Let me go, Alpha Erik, or I will think that you're calling off our

wedding."

He scoffed. "Wedding? Did you even want to wed me, milady?"

"Release me this instant!" she shrieked. "Your father will know about this."

"He will also know you are willing to offer yourself to the alpha king despite knowing we are exclusives

for each other. Not only my Father will know, but all your pack. How is that, milady?"
