Protect Me Alpha King novel Chapter 100

I closed my eyes after reading the contents of the records while clutching them to my chest. There was nothing extraordinary about how the recordkeeper recorded it. In fact, the words used were simple, nothing extravagant. Nothing fancy. But despite that, I could see a glimpse of how Melissa and Robert’s life were back then.

They were fated mates.

Tristan's words and information coincide with what was written in the record. Melissa Dove was Robert Dove's fated mate and was sold at the auction house and bought by the alpha king as a married couple and brought to the kingdom. They were twenty years old back then. Melissa worked as a chambermaid while Robert sometimes acted as the alpha king’s guard in addition to the royal’s warriors.

Robert was also known as a healer, sometimes asked by the pack doctor to assist him. Just like me.

Melissa and Robert both stayed at the palace for almost thirty years, and the last of their records said the woman was heavily pregnant when the two ran away together with Tristan Camp.

I flipped the last page, and a portrait of the two of them came into view.

I sucked in a breath while my knees went weak.

Melissa and I had the same wild curly hair.

Were they really my long-lost parents?

A tear fell from my eyes as realization knocked me off.

There was a ninety-percent chance that Tristan was telling the truth, and the next one that I should talk to was Zenith. To verify everything. Actually, the portrait was enough to say to me that there was a ninety-nine percent that these were my parents.

"You alright?" Dawn asked, putting one of her hands on my shoulder.

I did not notice she was already beside me.

I sniffed and wiped my tears. Now was not the time to cry and wallow in pain.

"What did you find out?" I asked instead.

I asked her to look for Tristan's record.

"Same with what I heard. Tristan Camp. An orphan. Parents died because of a rogue attack and were sold to an auction house at an early age. When he arrived at the palace, he was unusually close to the Dove couple, as if they were his family. Went missing when the married couple was nowhere to be seen in the palace." She sighed. "Maybe that bastard was telling the truth. How about you?"

I let her see the portrait. Dawn inspected it. “Melissa looked like you.”

I drew a shaky breath. "I know. And maybe I was the daughter of the two rogue leaders who constantly wanted to bring the kingdom down. Perhaps I was the daughter of the leader who always revolted and uprising against the kingdom.”

The alpha king’s enemies. The kingdom’s enemies.

Most likely, after their death, the leadership was transferred to Tristan after being with them for a long time.

Zenith.

What was that woman thinking after knowing the previous alpha king killed her parents?

“I can't accept it. I can't accept that they killed and tortured innocents to prove their beliefs."

There were rumors, some of which were already proven true, about the brutality of the rogues.

The rogues continued to become the alpha king’s thorns on his kingdom and must be eradicated.

"River. We cannot choose our parents. And now that we know the truth, what will be your decision?"

I inhaled deeply and put the records back but pocketed the portrait. "Not yet. I have to talk to Zenith and force her to tell the truth whether we are siblings or not."

"Do you have to? The resemblance between you two is uncanny. Without a doubt, you are sisters. Only someone with bad eyesight would tell you two are not."

"I want to hear it straight from her mouth.” I want to know her true motives for returning here.
