The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 8
King Zeus POV "Go to the throne room and wait for me, I'll join you all there soon," I said to dismiss the elders into the room, ignoring their confused faces.They went to the throne room to wait for me while I gave Selene one last glance before I reluctantly followed them."Thr Luna is currently tired from the journey and she would not like to be disturbed at the moment. You can all check back some other time when she's at least better. " My voice echoed in the throne room. They almost erupted into a loud noise, murmuring amidst each other. The eldest among them greeted me politely as he stood up to talk, "Alpha, we understand how the journey must have been, but don't you think it's right for Luna to at least see us? We don't mean to disturb her but we can assure you that we will not be hard with her." He finished speaking and looked at his fellow elders, who all nodded in agreement to what he had said. "Yes, Alpha. We don't mean to be rude or disturb your mate, but expect babe
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 9
Selene POV“Okay, Alpha,” Jacob, my beta replied politely as he moved out to go look for the architecture like I had said.I rushed off to my office to attend to some last-minute work as I was already sure that Selene was fine and was not going to wake up anytime soon.Soon, news reached me that my mate was now awake. Selene had woken up from her consciousness. I rushed to Selene and sat beside he as she stirred awake and flustered her eyes open.“Z…Zeus,” She said weakly as I took her hands in mine.I groaned in relief, “You're awake?” I asked, my voice was hoarse.She shot me a weak smile, “Yes, I'm fine now.” she smiled weakly.“Don't worry, you're fine,” I assured her.“How long have I been asleep?” she asked glancing around the room.“Some hours but you can still lay back if you need more sleep,” I said, as I helped her adjust her head on the headboard.“It's since, I feel a bit stronger now.” She said as she tried to hide a blush.“Okay then, if you say so,” I added softly, givi
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 10
SELENE POV. I didn't know where I was, and no matter how many times I tried to make sense of my surroundings, all I could see were the towering trees, their dark forms creating shadows, with the full moon's light struggling to break through the clouds passing overhead.It was silent—so silent that even the fall of a pin would have echoed. "Hello..." I called out as I stepped forward; each move I made filled the stillness with the snap of branches underfoot. "Hello," I repeated, feeling utterly lost. Desperation edged my voice, hoping that someone, anyone, would respond and lead me out of this dark unknown.Then, my breath caught in my throat as I saw them: a pair of red eyes fixed on me from deep within the thick jungle. I stepped back, a chill running down my spine, my body froze as fear took over me. The intensity of it threatened to collapse me right there, but I forced myself to stand firm.Slowly, the creature—no, a monster—began to move forward, baring its sharp teeth as it fix
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 11
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get Zeus out of my mind. I tried everything—sleeping, pacing around the room I was kept in, eating, and doing so many other things—but it was nearly impossible to push him out of my thoughts.I bit my lower lip each time I remembered how rudely I had spoken to him, making it seem as if he had crossed a line when, in reality, he had only been trying to help. Should I have done that? I didn’t have an answer to my question, and it bothered me so much. "Would it be alright if I took a stroll around the garden?" I asked one of the maids, who was busy attending to me and serving my meal. She didn’t respond immediately, just briefly lifted her head to make eye contact before looking down again and saying, "I honestly can’t make that decision for you. We would need to ask the alpha or his beta first to get permission," she replied, and I nodded. She stepped out of the room for a moment, then returned and said, "If you finish your food soon, you can tak
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 12
King Zeus POV "I wonder where she could be..." I thought to myself, searching the palace halls. Just a few minutes ago, a maid had come to request permission, saying Selene wanted to explore the palace, and I had thought maybe allowing her a bit of freedom would bring her some happiness.I still felt genuinely sorry for how I might have made her uncomfortable earlier. Honestly, looking for her wasn’t to confront her; I just wanted to see if she seemed a little happier, roaming outside the room for the first time in a while. That would bring me a bit of peace."Please, spare her, Your Highness... she must have had too much wine," the frantic begging of several maids caught my attention. My ears perked up, and curiosity pulled me toward the scene. What I saw was nothing short of mortifying."You are nothing but a plaything to the Alpha, to be honest. Sooner or later, he won’t care about you; he will discard you, just like your old maid did." If an elder had spoken to Selene this way, t
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 13
King Zeus POV "Is she here yet?" I asked my beta, who looked at me for a moment, then glanced away, shaking his head to signal a no. I took a deep breath, wondering if she was late or if perhaps I was just too early."I don’t understand what this mate bond is all about, but if it makes a man act like this, I am not sure I want it," my beta said with a sarcastic chuckle, his tone filled with humor. I shot him a glare, running my fingers through my hair nervously. “Oh did I say that out loud?” He added "I am completely normal right now," I said, pausing for emphasis. "Completely," I added, trying to convince myself as I bit down on my lower lip. So much for calm.He laughed again, and I gave him another glare. "Fix that look on your face, Alpha King; your queen has arrived," he said, nodding toward her. I turned, and seeing her took my breath away—she was stunning. A feeling I couldn’t quite name stirred inside me. "She is beautiful," Jacob murmured, and I arched an eyebrow, confused.
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 14
SELENE POVI saw the look in his eyes at that very moment—it was hunger. Insatiable hunger. And even though I could see just how much he wanted me, he never let that desire overshadow the care he seemed determined to show me.He listened to me, and even though he didn’t say much, his mere presence was oddly comforting. What made it even more confusing was why I seemed to share the same desire I saw in his eyes right now.I had felt the mate bond with Orion before; it was tempting and frustrating, but it was never this powerful. Never this hard to resist. Something stirred within me as he looked into my eyes, his gaze locked on mine. The feeling of his fingers gently wrapping around my neck as he stared at me intensified everything.My heart beat faster than I wanted it to, and my throat went dry as he said those words that made my core heat up. "I think I would prefer to have the wine this way..." he murmured, his gaze drifting to my lips. I parted them slightly to speak, but it felt
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 15
After my kiss with Alpha Zeus, I was just puzzled. I did not know what to do anymore. It seemed a bit taken aback that I was able to accept him and was about to hug me. But I stepped back. "I only kissed you just to show you that I approve of you being the one for me. Just as it is supposed to be. But aside from that, I don't want us to get too close. It triggers my memory." I lied to him. He was about to say another word when I walked away. It was soon morning, and I was welcomed with a new lady. She looked like a maid but had this bold aura in her. She smiled at me and bowed. "Miss Selene, My name is Cara and the Alpha King sent me to cater to all your needs."I nodded and said nothing. "Should I run you a warm bath now, my lady?"I wanted to refuse, but seeing that I hadn't had my bath for a while, I nodded."Where am I?"“Your new room is assigned to you.” She replied I nodded, saying nothing.While she went to run a warm bath, I ate alone and took the pills. I cou

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
