November 8, 2022. Hello. Will be changing the title of this book to "Alpha King's Mysterious Mate". I'm just waiting for the new book cover before I make the changes here. Thank you and enjoy reading. :)
She’s not so bad. Maybe he’ll come to like her. She’s not hateful. And she’s ethereally beautiful. There is that. His men already think he’s a lucky bastard to have her as a mate.She lied, but she admitted it soon after. Is she or is she not lying about everything else? She’s too mysterious to be a complete liar, though. And those silver wolves are mythical and legendary. A descendant of the goddess, huh?Alex tried to unravel every information he has gotten since the wolves’ appearance on his birthday. The timing couldn’t be coincidental, but why his thirtieth birthday, though? What significance does it hold? Mates are normally revealed at eighteenth. Is it because she’s different? A descendant of the goddess. He kept coming back to that.Given the circumstances surrounding her, it doesn’t sound far-fetched, to be honest. Silver wolves. Her own silvery aura. Unknown knowledge only she possesses. This palace and the curse of being trapped here. Of course, he has no way to verify that
When the knob rattled, Alex quickly got up and stood on the side of the door. He saw how her eyes widened and heard her gasp of surprise. He saw how her hand seemed to be pushing the door closed again, so he stuck a foot to prevent that from happening. Luna saw him making that step and she felt even more embarrassed. She did think of slamming the door shut again. She’s not ready to face him yet. She didn’t want him to see her cry again so she decidedly kept her head down, not daring to look at his face. Alex thought he should properly use this chance. “Luna, I’m sorry. I apologize for hurting you. I didn’t mean what I said. Will you forgive me?” She tried to speak, opening her mouth, but no words came out. What is she to say? It’s fine, I forgive you? Should she make it easy for him? How are you supposed to deal with this situation? She has zero experience interacting with people. Her visions are no help. Her knowledge didn’t prepare her for first-hand experience. Her wisdom isn’t th
Didn’t they just make up? She was surprised when he reached out a hand and touched her jaw. Her gaze was questioning. What is he on about?She almost gasped when he bent down and covered her lips with his. It was just a peck, though. It only lasted a couple of seconds. But it was enough. It made her really happy. She looked really silly, eliciting a chuckle from him.He saw the moment her eyes twinkled silver before returning to their normal brown hue. It seemed magical and served as an unconventional experience for him.“Do you like me? We don’t know each other yet. Do you know a lot of things about me already?”“Of course. You’re my mate and you seem like a good person. I do know certain things about you, but they’re not personal. I don’t know what you’re thinking or what you’re feeling. I want to know those things.”He lightly caressed the side of her face. “I don’t think it would be difficult to like you.”“Aren’t you wary of me? Because of the things I know, don’t you find me cre
He didn’t get enough sleep but he still got up early. His men in charge of breakfast woke up around the same time as he did. Alex washed up, changed his clothes and went to see Luna. It would be best to get their things packed in the vehicles so they can leave immediately after the meal. They have a long journey ahead of them.Luna was already dressed when he knocked on her door and she grinned as she skipped towards it. Her excitement was evident. She would finally be leaving this place! Inside her, though, she still felt nervous. Nothing would go wrong, right? She can leave with him, yes?“Where’s your pack? Let’s put them in the vehicle.” He stepped inside her room to retrieve what they packed last night.“Is this all?” He didn’t insist that she packs most of her things. If she needed anything, they can provide it to her at Snow Mountain.“Yes.”“Let’s go, then.” He le
“That was quick. They know how to make decisions, huh?” Carl noted with a smile.“We should get going, too. Let’s go.” Alex commanded and they all boarded their respective vehicles. He assisted Luna into getting in and comfortably sitting on the bench. He sat next to her before his gaze snapped to the guy on her other side.The man rolled his eyes. “I think the two of you should switch seats if you don’t want me next to her.”And so, they did. Luna actually liked being next to the window. She can see outside and enjoy the sceneries. It didn’t take long for them to overtake the silver wolves and Killian, riding at the back of their vehicle, let out a howl.“Did he say something?” The guy sitting next to Alex asked.“This is Alvin.” Alex was forced to introduce him to her.“Not really. He was just wishing them good luck.”“Don’t they ha
They reached the territory near midnight. The silence was almost deafening, albeit littered with the sounds of crickets. Those patrolling the border welcomed them. Alex did inform his parents of the time they would be arriving. He looked at Luna, who’s asleep on his shoulder. Well, they all need rest. Surely, everyone can wait until tomorrow to discuss matters. They drove the vehicles until they reached the pack house. He sighed, seeing his parents were actually waiting. “Alright. Pack up and rest, everyone. You all did well.” He thanked his men and they grunted in reply. Alex carefully untangled himself from Luna. The men to greet their Alpha and Luna before departing for their respective houses. “You shouldn’t have waited. It’s very late already.” Alex greeted them as well before conversing. Sab smiled before pulling him into a hug. “It’s the longest you’ve been gone from home. I was worried.” Alex felt exasperated. He’s a grown-up man, yet his mother still treats him like a ch
“Am I supposed to call you that, too? That won’t do.”“Well, what do you want to call me?” She knew the decision was his.He stared at her for a while. Moon, huh?“Do you like Moon?”Luna shrugged. “Yes?”His eye twitched, realizing what he thought of was a little childish.“How about Little Moon?” He simply thought it sounds cuter compared to just Moon, no?She grinned at him, quite pleased. “I like it.”Luna turned to the elders and his parents. “You can all call me Little Moon.”Sab was quite relieved that the issue was easily resolved. She admired the young woman’s willingness to be called something else. She didn’t insist on being called by her name, which Sab figured most people would not easily agree to. Her lip twitched. Heck, it wasn’t even her actual name but it still made her uncomfortable. Now, she feel
Clyde reached for his mate’s hand and held it tight as they began the story.“Your mother felt the bond, but I didn’t. She only came to tell me when I was already considering choosing a mate from another pack. As I wasn’t feeling the bond, I didn’t believe her. I thought she was lying. But you should know, Sab and your uncle Ice are very close friends. They’re almost like brother and sister to each other. Ice believed her. But in my case, I couldn’t. In my mind, I needed to feel the bond to believe it. I asked her to reject me and she did.”“That was difficult for me. When I found out he was my mate, I was very happy. When he didn’t react the way I expected him to, I was confused. It took me a while to realize he’s not feeling the bond. He wasn’t avoiding me. He would still talk to me when there’s something to talk about. He didn’t do anything to indicate he’s rejecting me. I aske
