The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 21
Alpha Zeus POV"Alpha Fred is smart and you can't underestimate Ben. He's always been the smartest amongst us. They must've already thought about the possibility of me interfering and there are measures for that," I paused and walked to the window, shoving my hands deep into my pocket as I took in the beauty of the view."They might spin the narrative around and make it seem like a mere accusation.""But—""For now, we watch and see whatever is going on before doing anything.""Oh Man! And I was so happy and getting prepared to show my new skills," he stood up and began to throw punches in the air."What do I do to make her trust me? She acts very polite and Formal around me. I've told her to trust me, I've shown her nothing but care. Nothing is working!""I think teaching Orion and his wife a lesson will help you.""Well, you have any idea?"After what seemed like an eternity of us staring at each other, he grinned widely and my brows pulled into a frown."I do have a plan. A stone t
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 22
Alpha Zeus POV She was dressed in an elegant dark red strapless bodycon dress that hugged her body like a second skin, accentuating her curves. She was walking towards me, and with each step she took, my heart raced faster, and I stood up immediately.The necklace she wore had a small diamond pendant that shone on her neck and with each step she took, her wavy black hair seemed to bounce.I wasn't salivating for the food anymore. I didn't want it anymore. All I wanted was her."Your Highness," She murmured as she bowed slowly."You've captured my heart," I confessed as my heart rate sped up.She averted her gaze, fixing her eyes on the roses I had kept on the table."I don't know which flowers you like, so I got you this one.""Thank you, I like it," there was no emotion in her voice, and I had a feeling that she was lying, but I said nothing, not wanting the dinner to be awkward."You're beautiful, cupcake."She licked her glossy lips, and my eyes followed that simple action as I im
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 23
SELENE POV Lexi grumbled in disapproval but I shut her out while listening to the gossip of the maids."She's so cold to him. I mean, she should be glad that he's marrying her," one of them said, followed by the clanking of kitchen wares before another feminine voice spoke, which I was sure was another maid."Nobody in the council likes her or even approves of her, but it's not like they can say anything to him. He's too calm and considerate—-""If it were his brothers, they wouldn't have batted an eyelid at her, mate or not," yet another voice spoke and I scrunched my face, but I remained quiet as I listened to their conversation."Ben would've made for a better Alpha king," it was the first voice this time around. And then the voices became distant as I heard the sound of water splashing."I hope Ben comes back to reclaim his position!" I heard the voice again as soon as the sound of the water stopped.Several gasps of shock followed and my palm quickly flew to my mouth due to the
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 24
SELENE'S POVThe day of the mating ceremony came so fast that I wondered if I was ready for this.Looking at myself in the mirror as I was dressed in a pretty white laced dress with a light pink tulle skirt that covered my legs and a crown of flowers resting on my head reminded me of the woman in the mirror.That was a few days ago, but it felt like just yesterday. I couldn't say anything to anyone, but I was always wondering who the woman was. She had told me that I was going to find out who she was pretty soon and I couldn't wait.I glanced at the mirror slowly again, willing myself to see her, but instead, all I saw was my reflection and how beautiful I looked. But my eyes held a certain sadness and I smiled slowly in a bid to hide it."You look beautiful, my lady," Cara said and I nodded without a word.Zeus's had told me that it was custom in the Blackhound pack for all the werewolves to be in their wolf form during the later part of the mating ceremony. That was the most importa
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 25
SELENE POV "I'll always protect and be with you," he said and I nodded without a word as the man who looked like him and whom I had seen a few days in the conference room walked towards us."Welcome to the family," he said, a smile playing on his lips as his eyes twinkled with mischief.I could feel Zeus' tense beside me and from the corner of my eyes, I saw his lips pursed in a thin line."I'm sorry we couldn't be properly introduced the last time. I'm Ben, his brother," he patted Zeus', earning a glare from him.I said nothing but nodded as I realized that this was him, the one the maid had been talking about the other day."Why do you look—-you don't seem happy? Aren't you happy to become the queen?"I grinned widely and he frowned before bursting out laughing."You're funny. I hope we get to catch up soon——""Aren't you going to leave?""Are you trying to chase me away?""I—-"He turned to glance at me and winked. "See you around, your Highness, and you two, have fun," he walked
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 26
SELENE POVWe howled our vows into the fool moon and the other pack members howled in approval.We are mates now. He was mine and I was his. I had no idea how to feel about that, but I was always, my eyes vacant as I nodded to whatever anyone said. They were never going to get any emotions out of me.A while later, I walked to the room that he had prepared for us, for our first night.Cara had given me a silk nightdress to cover my nakedness after I had transformed into my human form. She had then informed me that the Alpha king had prepared a room for us."Tomorrow, I'll introduce the new maids assigned to you——""What about you?" I blurted out and it seemed as though my question had started her as she blinked rapidly and then grinned."I'll be around, my queen, but unfortunately, I was not assigned to you. But you can always call on me whenever you need me."I frowned but said nothing as I wondered why they were taking Cara away from me. I was already becoming used to her. I wanted
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 27
SELENE POVJulia was my maid and she was even much more personal than I thought possible as she followed me to my room, offered to bathe and dress me even after I had refused, and later insisted on picking a dress for me as the new queen, to which I allowed.I ended up wearing a deep-necked pale blue dress which brought out my curves.She walked me to the dining table, where Zeus' was already waiting for me. He smiled as soon as he saw me as he stood up and brought out a chair for me to sit on."Should we go on a honeymoon?"I was taken aback. I never thought of that, but I was careful to not let my emotions betray me. I didn't want to go on a honeymoon."I guess not," he said after a while of my silence and we ate in silence.I turned around as I had a feeling that I was being watched, and to my surprise, I caught Julia's eyes. She didn't attempt to look away as she smiled widely upon meeting my gaze. She was a few distance away from us as she watched me and I wondered if this was al
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 28
Unknown POVI knew that something was going on when she had that look in her eyes again. It was the same kind of look she had the day I went to the conference room.She was bottling up those emotions and I had never seen my brother as angry as he was then. He must love her a lot. Too bad that she doesn't feel the same way towards him.She was like a puppet, the perfect one if I really wanted to get to our brother, and one brother was too in love to want to pull the strings. That was where I was going to have to come in.Not even the others would see this coming. I smiled to myself as I removed the phone from my pocket and dialed an all-too-familiar number.The phone rang for a while before he picked it up."Have you heard of our brother's wife?" I said the person on the other end of the line grunted."What wife?""He is about to take a queen. Now, that's not the problem. The thing is that she is an Omega. You heard about the recently executed beta of the Greenforest Park. She's the da

The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 38
SELENE POV I wondered if she was aware of the romance between Maya and the Alpha king. If I was the only one in the dark. Perhaps, the other maids and guards looked at me with pity."I'll be back with the doctor, Your Highness," She said and almost immediately, walked out of the room, only to arrive a few minutes later with a doctor."I'll be back, Your Highness," she hurriedly walked out of the room again and I glanced at her without a word."Your Highness, I am Doctor Mark and I'll check you…""There's no need for that, Doctor," I stood up and that seemed to surprise him, judging by the look of surprise etched on his face."Are you…are you sure, Your Highness? I have to check just in case..""I'm fine, Doctor. I was just tired."He nodded and walked out of the room, not looking the least bit convinced.I swallowed hard, noting that my husband, who was supposed to be by my side at the moment, was nowhere to be seen, and I couldn't help but wonder if he was at their rendezvous.Julia
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 37
SELENE POVI didn't care about what I was going to see, all I knew was that I was going to be fine. I didn't have any feelings for him and I just wanted to satisfy my curiosity.A small photograph dropped from the envelope and I bent to pick it up, a gasp escaping from my lips as I did so.I never thought anything could hurt me again, not after what happened to my parents, but this, felt like a knife was wedged deep inside me, making a home for itself in my heart.In the photo was a child, a boy of not more than three years with dark hair and blue eyes.The same shade of blue I was all too familiar with.ZEUS.I know you're hurting, but so am I. Each moment spent without you is in pain. A pain so raw, that it feels as though a hot knife is searing through my heart.I promised not to come back to the town, but it's time we stop hiding when we're not some dirty little secret.You're married now and I respect your decision to do so, however, it would be nice to see you, even if it has to
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 36
SELENE POVShe was saying something else, but I wasn't listening as my eyes caught sight of a figure hurriedly walking out through the back door. It was unmistakably the same long, dark, wavy hair I was familiar with. Maya crane.I wondered where she was hurrying to and through the back door when she was supposed to be down with Flu. I had a bad feeling about it and I immediately turned to Julia."Go get me an Apple tart.""Annalise! Please go get an…"She was still talking when I interrupted her."You should get it yourself.""Your Highness?" Her brows were raised, but she was smart enough to avert her gaze. It was probably the longest gear wires I had spoken at once to her."If I wanted an apple Tart from Annalise or whoever, I would ask them to get it. I want you to get it for me and I want you to be there when it's baked. You know how I like it," I said and she nodded slowly as she still stood there.I was getting impatient. I wanted to leave quickly. I was curious to see what had
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 35
SELENE'S POVI wanted to ask her if she wanted to be Queen. I wanted to confirm what the maids were saying. If indeed, the entire council was supporting her, then there was no stopping it from happening; she was going to become Queen.I wondered if Zeus wanted her to be his queen and if that was why she was here in the mansion. Plus, they seemed very close."You know, I never thought I'd ever be back here…."There was a knock again and she stood up and walked to the door.The door opened, and Ben entered, a smile on his face, and I wondered what had brought him here."You're here," he said as he glanced at Maya."How have you been, Ben?" She said and I watched her face to see if her expression was going to show that she supported him.She was smiling, but it was the same smile she always had on whenever she looked at me."Your Highness, may I speak to you alone?" For the first time, he had a serious expression etched on his face and I glanced at Maya."You want me to leave?" Her lips
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 34
SELENE POVSuddenly, the wolf transformed and I furrowed my brows as I saw that it was a beautiful woman around my age."Who are you?" she questioned as she regarded me, an amused look on her face.I was surprised that she was asking me if everyone in the mansion knew who I was."I asked a question," she stated again in an authoritative tone, and I knew that whoever this woman was, she was a high-ranked wolf, and somehow, she had no idea who I was."I'm the..""Your Highness!" We both turned to the source of the voice. It was Julia and I internally rolled my eyes."What are you doing here?" She then turned to the woman."Lady Crane. I never thought you'd be here now.""Your Highness… you're the queen," she said, a small smile playing on her lips. She nodded and I noticed that she didn't bow or be courteous."Here, my lady," Julia handed a robe to the woman that she had called Lady Crane."I am Maya Crane," She said, holding out her hand toward me. I was surprised that she would offer
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 33
ZEUS POV"A butterfly.""It's a handkerchief?" She nodded, saying nothing and I smiled."For me, I hope?"She didn't say anything for a while, as if she was thinking about it. And then she nodded. "For you.""Why?""Because you asked."I stood up, suddenly angry. I knew I shouldn't be, but with everything going on at the moment, my temper was rising by the minute. I had come to see her in a bid to calm myself down after everything that had happened.I was going through all of this because of her. Yet, here she was, giving me one-worded replies and telling me that she was making a handkerchief for me because I asked."What is wrong with you? I have tried everything! Done everything! For you and yet you…" I flung my arms, willing myself to not say anymore unless I was going to hurt her and regret it.She glanced up at me, clearly surprised at my outburst, but not reacting in any way whatsoever. "Are you a fucking vegetable! Don't you have emotions? You just sit here all day, not doing a
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 32
SELENE POV"That aside, she has not been performing the duties of a queen, I even heard that she's always gloomy and devoid of life. Another information that got to us was that our archenemy, the Redvine pack called you weak for having a weak Queen who is also a…the word is abominable."The offers murmured in approval and I sighed. They had all been brainwashed."But you all gave your approval before and during the mating ritual," I pointed out."That was..that was our mistake, your highness," another member of the council chipped in."Well, I have heard you all and I appreciate the concern. But there is nothing we can do about that.""Your Highness, on the contrary, there are things we can do."I furrowed my brows, wondering what nonsense they were going to spew this time around. "And what are they?"He glanced at the other and from the way he looked nervous, I knew that I wasn't going to like whatever he was going to say. "Your Highness, we could change the queen…"He was still talk
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 31
SELENE POV He looked taken aback and I turned back to look out the window. I had decided to just watch everything play out and not interfere; besides, it wasn't in my jurisdiction. But after seeing my mate being mistreated like that, I couldn't just sit back."Oh," was all he said as he nodded with understanding."I know they're going to try and use her against me, but I will be prepared. I can't let anything at all happen to her.""Are you going to make her the queen?" He asked after a while of silence and a sigh expelled from my lips.I sat down in front of him, feeling the urge to drink the whiskey that was atop the table."What do you think, Ronan?""I think you shouldn't. She's an Omega and Greenforest's traitor. To clear her name will require you to reveal that you know about the ploy between Alpha Haines and your brother.""I can't wait to make her mine when the time is right…""You do know that once the members of the council find out that you rescued an Omega and she is curr
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 30
Selene POV "Were you expecting him to be here? When he disappeared, leaving the throne to you?" Raoul said and muttered something incomprehensible under his breath. It was obvious that he didn't want Zeus on the throne."You want the throne?" I didn't look up, but knowing Zeus, I was sure that he was glaring at his brother."You're still quiet today, my queen," Ben said and I glanced up at him. I wanted to tell him that I was fine, but I felt someone's hand on mine and looked down to see that it was Zeus."Thank you for your concern, Zeus. But she is fine and does not need your help."He gazed at me, a small smile playing on his lips. "I want you to meet my brothers.""Brothers, I wasn't happy that you all didn't come to my wedding, as a family. So, I believe I have to invite you all to dinner to meet the newest member of our family.""Isn't she the one from the family of traitors? The one demoted to an Omega?"It was Raoul's voice and I managed to still keep my expression neutral, e
