Protect Me Alpha King

65. Stay Awake, River!

My muscles tensed while clenching my fist. I will die before I allow this man to defile us over my dead

body.

My body trembled in anger. “Fuck off!”

He smirked. “Not going to happen, milady. As I said, we will have some fun before you meet your

buyers. I already sold you a hefty sum of money.”

“Bastard!” Dawn spat. “As if I will let you do that. I vow that you will die a terrible death to the point of

regretting you capture us. You are nothing but a lowly human.”

“Bitch! Don’t talk if I am not talking to you! You should be thankful I did not kill you in an instant. All I Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

wanted is your master, but I only gave you one as a plus one.”

"Make me, asshole!" Dawn replied.

"I changed my mind. I will kill you right now." He pulled out another dagger and attacked the two of us.

No. It was only directed at Dawn.

Dawn pushed me aside and exposed herself in danger. The leader stabbed the air, and his useless

attempts were nothing to the woman’s agility.

I guessed she was an actual luna who was capable of defending herself.

Realizing all his attacks were futile, the man threw his daggers and pulled out his gun, and bang!

I jumped at the shot! And when I opened my eyes, Dawn fell with a thud to the ground, her shoulders

bleeding profusely.

“Dawn!” I gasped.

The blood created a tiny pool, and the sight of it made me throw up. My head spun, and darkness

slowly started to take over. Not a fan of seeing blood.

Dawn moaned when the bastard kicked her wound.

“Fuck you!” I cursed at him. “Stop it!” I roared.

Fight the darkness, River!

I am trying!

I inhaled and exhaled a couple of times. This was not the best time to faint. I have to help her! But

how? I was nothing but a useless slave.

"See this, milady? No one can defend you now. I can do all I want."

Clutching my stomach, I looked at him with pure disgust.

"You are soulless."

He never took pity on Dawn as he continued kicking her.

“Oh. You want me to stop doing this?” the bastard asked and hit Dawn on her ribcage. She moaned in

agony. Blood sprouted from her mouth. I can't look at it. It made me feel even worse. “You want to help

her? Go on. Crawl, milady."

I did.

I squirmed my way toward Dawn's direction. Her eyes begged me to run. But how could I do that? I did

not want anyone to die on my watch! I have to help her. I have to heal her. I can save her. All I will do is

touch her.

I swam in the pool of blood. The stench smell hit my nostrils, making me gag. Darkness was getting

more powerful, pulling me in.

I tried to shake it off. I had to.

If I faint, Dawn may lose her life.

Tears clouded my vision.

The bastard laughed in the background at my attempt to get in Dawn's direction.

He bent and whispered in my ears, taunting me. "I thought werewolves are powerful, but it turns out

your kind cannot evade a single bullet.”

If Dawn was not weak, she could kill him this instant. She could dodge the bullet. She could do

anything.

He licked my ears. "Nobles are indeed delicious."

I scrambled away from him, disgusted at what he had done, and returned to getting Dawn's location.

Her heartbeat was getting fainter.

Must not waste a minute.

The infuriating bastard watched me struggle.

“What will you do, milady? Will you stay like that, crawling like a leech?” He ridiculed me. He walked

towards Dawn and pointed the gun at Dawn’s forehead while boring his gaze on me. “Don’t wanna help

this woman who risked her life for you? Oh, what a bother. I guess I’ll kill her then.”

I saw red at the sight of his gun on Dawn's forehead.

How dare he!

Something warm started in my chest, then traveled all over my body. Electricity crackled around us,

and I felt the sharpness of my teeth. My claws extended, my sight and hearing a thousand times better.

The sound was making me deaf.

‘Kill!’

I stilled.

A soft voice like that of a goddess, which I only heard now. A beautiful gray wolf flashed in my mind.

Her violet eyes bored into mine.

‘Show the bastard a lesson that he should never mess with us. Kill. Avenge your friend. Not doing it?

Allow me.’

One time my skin was hairless, and the next thing, furs started to come out, followed by the popping

bones, and I was all in four.

The hostility kept growing and was directed at the man in front of me.

His face became pale white at the sight of me changing. He peed his pants.

And I was in fours.

All this time, I had a wolf?

The beast growled, bared its fangs at him, and pounced, tearing his limbs. The forest swallowed the

bastard's shouts until he was left with nothing but a pool of blood. His remains were all over the floor,

scattered.

And I howled.

When I was done, I looked at the surroundings.

Blood! All I saw was blood!

I staggered and fell to the ground. Darkness was slowly starting to welcome me. Again.

The wall collapsed, and I saw a man’s silhouette. I heard footsteps approaching until I felt someone

scooping me into his arms. Sandalwood. That scent overpowered the stench of blood surrounding me.

Then, something covered my nakedness.

I inhaled deeply. Sandalwood. My favorite scent. Want to sleep. Forever. With this person in my arms.

“River…”

What a lovely voice. Full of worry. No one was ever worried about me.

“Don’t die on me, you hear me? I order you to stay awake!” he roared.

Ah. The alpha king.

I smiled at him while my eyes were closed. Sorry, but I can’t follow his command right now.

“My apologies, Your Majesty….” I said and succumbed to the peaceful darkness.
