31. As if He Was...Jealous
My eyes widened as Alpha King Maxxwell kissed me savagely as if he was punishing me using his
kisses. He bit my lips nearly drawing blood but the more he made it rough, the more it brought pleasure
to my body.
What. The. Fuck. Was. Happening. Here? The alpha king was kissing me even if I was not his sex
ve. And a certain part of me was screaming to answer back to his kisses! Just like what happened at
my pack during the Mating Ceremony.
No, no. I must never give in to the temptation or he would think the rumors about Elijah and I would
be true.
So I just stood there, forcing myself not to return his kisses as his scent nearly knocked me over. I
wanted to sniff him and do other dangerous and sinful thoughts which I never thought I would be doing
when I was still in my pack. And these thoughts were scary as hell as if those were not mine.
Only the alpha king was able to release all these confusing emotions. And the conflicting part of all is
we were not mates. Right?
"You like this, River?" he whispered, brushing my upper lip with my fingers. "Your body wanted this. But
you are fighting it. Why? Is it because I am not Elijah?" he sneered. "I can kiss better than him. I can
pleasure you more than him."
Gold shes his eyes as if his beast was trying to fight for control.
As if insulting him, I wiped my lips using the back of my hand, and boy. He was looking at me and his
expression turned darker than ever.
"That''s not the issue here, Your—"
My words were cut when he dipped his mouth into mine and bit my lower lip once more.
I was surprised and gasped and used the opportunity to enter his tongue inside my mouth.
I bit his upper lip when my control was starting to slip away and just go with the flow. I earned a moan
from his mouth which I did not hear when the alpha king and Nora were fucking. Or was it both of
them?
I knew I should respond if I like what he is doing. I like it. In some way. A certain part of me wanted it,
making my toes curl, making me silently ask for more than he could give me.
However, that was the confusing part. Why was I enjoying this? Why did his soft touches make me feel
as if I was burning for it? Hungry for him? Was I that desperate for someone to desire me?
Gasping for breath, we both pulled away and I looked up, staring at his murderous res towards me.
"Did Elijah kiss better than me, huh? Are you now his whore?" he spat, curling his lip, hatred on his
face.
It did not fully sink into what he just said and it took me longer than that.
Whore? Did he think I was whoring myself for Elijah so that he will teach me how to read and write?
Desire was suddenly reced by irritation for him while my hands trembled in fury.
"With all due respect, Your Majesty, perhaps you understood it wrongly."
He lifted my chin, using enough force, but not enough to inflict pain, but to make his point. "An alpha
king is never wrong."
"You are mistaken," I replied as if I was challenging him.
"You never listen, do you?"
"No. It is you who never listened to my exnations."
My breathing wasbored as if I had run a marathon. My nostrils red as I stared at him.
The alpha king''s fist clenched by their sides, and rolled their shoulders back, giving me a death stare.
"Exin it to me, River. Exin why the alpha king''s servant, my servant, mine." Why did my heart
jump when he announced the word mine? "...is found in thepany of Elijah, the womanizer in this
pce, fucking with him."
"I did not, Your Majesty," emphasizing his name. "How many times will I defend myself? For crying out
loud, those are baseless rumorsing from Nora''s mouth! That woman is never fond of me and
wants you for herself."
He pressed his hands on my chin and made me look at him longer. "Really? You did not whore yourself
to him, huh? Lies," he spat, and slightly pushed me. I thought he would let me go, but he unexpectedly
grabbed my wrist, carried me as if I weighed nothing but a feather, put me on his shoulders, and threw
me into the bed. I bounced a couple of times before it stopped.
I angrily gazed at him even if he was the alpha king and he returned the same intensity of gaze to me.
Exining my side was not helping at all.
"Let''s see if Elijah kissed you better than me. You brought disgrace upon yourself, River. I did not touch
you while you came here, respecting your body, honoring you, telling myself you are nothing but a child
in my eyes. But what you did with Elijah was uneptable!" he roared as he stared down at me while
he hovered over me. "You easily give your body to him!"
"I did nothing wrong with him!" I answered back, angrily wiping the stray hair blocking my gaze.
"Nothing happened!" Except for the massage. And it was not the issue.
I felt hot all over, not because of desire but because I badly wanted to p him to knock some sense
out of him!
He turned around and paced back and forth. "Lies! Lies! You''re nothing but a handful of lies."
Well, there were times I had to lie, but I was not lying this time! Nothing happened between us and
Elijah.
"You can throw me at the bottom pit of the dungeon, but you cannot change my im that I am
innocent and did not whore myself towards Elijah, Maxxwell," I eximed.
He stilled and looked at me. "What did you just call me?"
"Your Majesty," I answered ndly.
"You did not. You called me by name."
I faked a surprise. "Oh. I did? I am not sure."
He red at me and told me he did not like the way I answered him. But damn him! How could he even
expect me to honor him when he was only spouting baseless usations?
"Yes, I did call you Maxxwell, Maxxwell. I forget I am talking to the scary alpha king. How you are acting
right now made me forget about it."
Punishment was no longer important in my mind. I was furious and wanted to show how stubborn I
could be which I never showed back in my pack and fought him regardless of my loss of power. I
was tired of lowering myself to anyone. It was time to fight.
He staggered back and lost his strength for a minute.
"You were like her."
"Who?" I asked curiously.
"Zenith."
That name again.
I bolted upright, fixed my hair, and stood in front of him. "What about that woman? I''ve got sick of
constantly hearing her name a couple of times but nobody wanted to tell me about her. Do I look like
her, Your Majesty? Or did I remind her of you?"
I never thought I would be living in someone else''s shadows uponing here. And I wanted to know
if I could use Zenith''s memories to my advantage or not.
The alpha king shook his head to clear his thoughts and balled his fist.
"You want to know about her?"
"Yes."
"What will you give in return, River?" he asked using his dangerous tone. "Yourself again? Funny how
you easily give it away to anyone including Elijah. Is that how desperate you could be?"
I fisted on the sheets, and the urge to p him—hard returned. Why did he always bring up Elijah''s
name as if he was…jealous.
Iughed at the thought. The alpha ling world never feels any jealousy towards someone. That''s
absurd.
I closed the gap between us, our breaths mingling, while our chest was only a few meters from
touching each other.
I had to crane my neck to look at him better ''cause he towered over my barely five-t height. Damn.
How could he be huge and tall at the same time?
"I could be desperate, Your Majesty. I will do whatever it takes to get what I want. But I never was
fucked by Sir Elijah. You can call him and ask him the truth. My conscience is clear." Except for
meeting him at the watchtower. It would be better if no one will know about it. "So I can demand to

know everything about Zenith."
He leaned closer to my ears and whispered, "Are you also willing to whore yourself to me, or offer
yourself as my sex ve just to get the information from my mouth, River?"
And he licked my ears, making me gasp.
