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
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 16
Zeus's POV;I paced around in my office, pondering over my conversation with her and how strangely she had acted in my presence. I wondered if I was too hasty in telling her to marry me.You fool!I sighed and expelled a breath. I told her that I was going to see her after the meeting with a few council members, but now that I think about it, I might have ruined the chance to get her to like me.When she heard that I was the Alpha king, she had acted strangely, not like she was scared of me, more like indifferent and she had agreed to marry me that quickly.I was waiting for Ronan. He was supposed to be supervising the ongoing work at the newly built college, but I needed to talk to someone and there was no one I trusted more than him.Just then, the office door opened and he stepped in, his eyes laced with worry and my brows pulled together into a frown, my mouth parting slowly."How's she?" he questioned beforeI couldn't say anything as he plopped onto the sofa."What's wrong? I ha

Alpha Zeus POV"Miss Vivian, I appreciate the thought, but there is no need for that. I had ordered the guards to not let anyone In here, I don't know how you're here—""Common, Your Highness. She was my slave, it is only proper for me to come to wish her well and offer some words of—-"I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist tightly at her words. She had emphasized the word 'slave'"Miss Vivian, I suggest you leave now as your presence was never in any way needed. The king will communicate to Alpha Vivian and Alpha Smith whatever punishment he seeks for you," Ronan cut in, noticing my rage.I heaved a sigh as I unclenched my fist. I was going to make them pay, and that was a promise.Suddenly, she fell to her knees, making Selene who had gone to sit on the sofa without looking at her turn around. I could see the panic in her eyes before it was quickly replaced with a look of indifference."Your Highness, please. I am sorry. I had no idea that she was your mate. I was only trying to d

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

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

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
The Alpha King True Mate CHAPTER 29
Unknown POV"What is the queen like?"She stopped and turned around. "I think she's traumatized and has built a wall around herself. I don't think there's a way anyone can break that.""Why do you think my brother wants you to keep an eye on her?""The same reason I wanted to be close to her. He wants to use her against Zeus. But I have a plan. Your brother wants her to be his puppet. It's not going to work. I've seen the look in her eyes. She's determined.""What's your plan?" I said as I took long strides forward to meet her. She spun around immediately, facing me."Finding out what your brother wants as I feel like he has a greater plan. That's not all, we have to get the support of some of the council members and introduce a perfect candidate for a queen. We need to make everyone see that having an Omega who came from a family of traitors is not advisable as it's going to taint our reputation."I furrowed my brows. It was a good plan, but seeing how madly in love Zeus was, it wasn
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 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 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

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
