STARLETTE

Wondering who it was, I turned around to see a wolf with a striking resemblance to Maximus. Perhaps his brother? But I had never heard of the Alpha King’s brother.

“Who—who are you?” I stuttered, too stunned to even speak coherently.

“I am Lucius. Maximus’s brother, obviously.” He grinned with a glint in his eyes, confirming my guess. “Older brother.” He added.

“Older brother?” I asked, my eyes narrowing in confusion. How come I had never heard of him before now? And how could Maximus be the Alpha King when he was the older brother? The older son’s were usually the heirs to the throne.

“Yes.” He nodded, a mischievous smile lingering on his face.

My mouth formed an ‘O’ as I stared at him. My mind raced with so many questions—questions I chose to keep to myself.

“So...” he folded his arms across his chest, his gaze sweeping from my head to my toe. “You are the breeder and the said mate.”

Before I could reply, he continued, an amused smile playing on his lip

    STARLETTE"I won't lie." Lucius groaned as he jumped back to his feet. "That kind of hurt."In a split second, Maximus was next to him, slicing through his chest with his claws and yanking him aggressively against the tree. Lucius grunted in pain but quickly replaced his expression with an amused smile. The cut on his chest healed immediately, surprising me. Those without wolves had a very slow healing ability, and I wondered how he healed so fast. "I don't want to ever see you near her again." Maximus warned, his jaw clenching with anger. A smirk played on Lucius’s lips. "Why? Are you perhaps worried that I would fuck her like you fucked my girlfriend?”"No, little brother." He continued. "I am not a monster."He jumped to his feet, dusting dry leaves off his body. "Why do you care anyway? You don't treat her right.""I am worried that you might have helped orchestrate her escape." Maximus growled in response. Lucius chuckled. "That wouldn’t have been bad. I would think about tha

    STARLETTEI slowly opened my eyes and turned to look at the other side of the bed, hoping to see Maximus there, but he wasn’t. After our altercation last night, he stormed out of the room, and I had stayed up late, waiting for his return, but he never did. I wondered where he went to. Perhaps he was with Lauren. The thought of that caused anger to rise up in my chest, and I quickly shook my head to get it off. He wasn’t worth my emotions—so I made myself believe.Not long after I woke up, Bella came in, her usual bright smile shining on her face.“Good morning.” She beamed as she approached me.I mirrowed her smile. “Good morning, Bella.”Her smile faded when she sat beside me on the bed.“What?” I asked when I noticed her change in contortion. “I am sorry for telling the Alpha that you were with Lucius when he asked about you.” She said remorsefully.I didn’t even know that she told Maximus that. But I wasn’t mad about it. Not at all. I knew she had no choice but to be truthful when

    STARLETTEI quietly walked out of my hiding place like a thief sneaking out of a rat hole. I stood there and stared at them blankly, not knowing what to say. “What are you doing here?” Came the Alpha’s question. “Just…” I darted my gaze at the shelf behind us before looking back at him. “I was bored, so I decided to get a book to read.”Without saying a word in response, he walked past me and headed towards one of the book shelves. “Hey, Starlette.” Kade said, and I snapped my attention at him. “Hi.” I breathed awkwardly. “Uhm,” he said, swiping his palm across the back of his neck. “Don’t mind what he said. I’m sure he didn’t mean it.”He didn’t need to try to soothe me with his words. I was used to getting hurt by the Alpha’s words anyway. “Sure.” I nodded, smiling awkwardly. I took another glance at Maximus, whose attention was now fixated on a particular book. Blowing out a sharp breath, I trotted out of the library. My mind was a mess, and I wasn’t looking at where I was

    STARLETTEThe following morning, Tom and I met for training again, and I channelled all the rage burning within me into the training. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I kept chanting in my mind with each attack I blocked. “You have gotten better and fierce.” Tom commented, amazement evident in his voice. “All thanks to him.” I blurted before I could even stop myself. “Who? The Alpha?” He guessed. “Can you believe he hasn’t been sleeping in our room? Not that I care, but—“ I trailed off immediately when I realised I was divulging too much information.“Never mind.” I continued, exhaling sharply. “It’s okay.” Tom managed to hit my waist, and I groaned in pain. “It’s a safe space. You can talk to me.”I didn’t know who Tom really was or if I could trust him. But I needed listening ears before I went out of my fucking mind. I needed to rant! So, without giving it much thought, I went ahead. “Not that I care, but why would an Alpha abandon his own room to sleep in a woman’s room?

    STARLETTE“How did you know about all these?” Maximus asked, narrowing his eyes. “I read a lot. I read it in a book a long time ago.” I told him. He folded his arms across his chest. “What book? Tell me more.” “I can’t recall the exact book. And I’m afraid that’s all I know.”“I’m also afraid you’ll have to think hard to remember where you read that from. We need more information.” That sounded more like a threat than a request. “I didn’t pay much attention while reading it. It was a very old book. A witch grimore.” I answered truthfully.The frown on his face deepened. “You really can’t remember anything else? How do I get to the witch? Where are the so-called invisibles located?”I shook my head. “It wasn’t stated in the book.” “No hint at all?”“I think we already have the information we need. Hopefully, if the salt trick works, we’d be able to capture and question them directly.” Tom chimed in. The Alpha King sighed. “I wonder if the witches are trying to start a war or if o

    STARLETTEWithin seconds, the maid's yard was almost empty. I knew I had to make a run for it, but I couldn’t leave Bella there. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if anything happened to her.“How do I get this rope off?” I panicked as I tried to look for the knot to loosen.“Starlette. There’s no time; just go. Save yourself.” She said weakly. The fear in her voice was evident, and I wasn’t leaving her alone. “I’m not leaving you here.”I found the knot and quickly untied her. I wrapped her arm around my shoulders to support her, as she was too weak to walk on her own. “Where is your room?” I asked her. She pointed at a particular door, and we headed towards the room, but when we got there, the room was locked. “Linda, Sarah, please open the door.” She called on her roommates, but there was no response. “Please!” I pleaded, banging on the door. I could hear the rouges drawing near, and fear saturated my whole being. If we didn’t find a place to hide, we’d be dead in minute

    STARLETTEThe next time I opened my eyes, I was in Maximus’s arms, laying on his laps. Startled, I gasped and tried to jump off him, but he held me in place. “Shhhh.” He said. “You're still weak.”The knife the rogue used to stab me must have been laced with a concentrated amount of wolfsbane, which was what weakened me to the extent of passing out.“Where‘s Bella?” I quickly asked when she crossed my mind.“Bella is fine.”“The rogues didn’t attack her?” I asked.“They didn’t.” He assured me, and I sighed in relief.I was relieved about Bella, but still tensed because I was in his arms. I hated him, but what I hated the most was how my body reacted to him. I hated that this devil had to be my mate.But, thinking about it, he wasn’t that much of a devil. My life had already flashed before my eyes, but he saved me. Not only did he save me, he chose to save me instead of Lauren. I still hated him regardless, but I was grateful. “What are you thinking about?” His words cut through my

    MAXIMUS I didn’t know how much Starlette meant to me until I almost lost her today. I had always known that I cared about her; she was fated for me anyway. I just hated that she had to be an omega. I thought she wasn’t fit to be Luna and wouldn’t add any value to me. Lauren, on the other hand, was smart and strong. But lately, she seemed to irk me, and I was growing into Starlette. And also lately, Starlette was starting to prove to me that she was smarter than I thought.We got to Pack Square, where we entrapped one of the invisibles by pouring a trail of salt around him, as Starlette had told us. I was surprised that it really did work. He stood there in the circle, the fearless look on his face slightly worrisome. I had expected him to be on his knees, begging for mercy; that way, it would be easier to get information from him in exchange for his life. But that wasn’t the case. I knew at once that he would be a tough one. “Take him to the dungeon; I’ll question him there.” I in

    STARLETTEShoot me! I groaned internally as I recoiled. Silas had caught me, and with that, all hope of ever leaving this place shattered. My chance to escape might never come again.“Shift!” he commanded, and as much as I would have loved to disobey him, I knew it was over, and I had better just do as he said.So, regrettably, I shifted back to my human form. One of his men handed him a blanket, and he wasted no time wrapping it around me and scooping me into his arms.“I must admit,” he whispered in a way only I could hear, “you are drop-dead gorgeous. I can’t wait to fuck you until you can't walk anymore.”“You dream too much, and those dreams will never come true. Not in this lifetime, not in the next,” I spat.He grinned wickedly. “We’ll see.”He seemed so sure that I would eventually give in. What a retard.He took me to the room I had been kept in before and carefully laid me on the bed.Staring down at me, he muttered, “I should be angry, but you are pretty, so I won’t. But ne

    MAXIMUS“What?!” I exclaimed, narrowing my eyes, trying to understand what Bella had just told me.“She is pregnant. And she is in her third trimester already,” she repeated firmly.I shook my head, trying to make sense of what she was saying. But it didn’t make one bit of sense. If she was in her third trimester, she would have been heavily pregnant. But she wasn’t. In fact, her stomach was as flat as ever before she left this pack.“This is not the time for jokes, Bella,” I hissed. “Please leave if you have nothing serious to say. Do not infuriate me!”“The baby is hiding itself to protect itself; that’s why she isn’t showing yet,” she said firmly, unwavering in her claims. She looked into my eyes, stating firmly, “Starlette is pregnant.”I narrowed my eyes at her, and she remained unmoving, refusing to back down from her claims. Bella would never lie to me for fun, would she? Especially in this critical moment.As the realization dawned, my stomach tightened, anxiety coursing throu

  • The Alpha King’s Special Mate   97| She’s What?

    MAXIMUSThe frustration and rage consuming my whole being were capable of tearing me apart. I barely slept, barely ate—all I could think about was Starlette and what she was going through at the moment. I still hadn’t found her nor any clue that could lead us to her. I was filled with regret. I should’ve insisted on following her; that way, I would have been able to protect her. Instead, I trusted her words that she would be okay and allowed her to go alone with the warriors. I was the greatest fool ever.Everyone had been trying their best to find her. Amelia couldn’t locate her through the spell, and that only made me more scared. Whoever took her had cloaked her. And that confirmed my suspicion—it was definitely the witch working in collaboration with her father, Isaac. Despite the intense interrogations, Isaac refused to confess.Even though the torture was extreme, driving him to the brink of death at times, he still wouldn’t admit anything. He had been transferred to the dungeon

    STARLETTESeizing the opportunity, I quickly got up from bed and rushed out of the room. As I walked down the hall, I noticed that two men were following. I stopped in my tracks, taking in a long breath. Of course, he wouldn’t let me roam the pack freely and unwatched. But that wasn’t going to stop me from escaping. First, I had to survey the pack and know my way around.Taking another deep breath, I continued walking, studying every nook and cranny of the pack. The people gazed at me as I passed them, looking at me like I was some sort of alien. They needn't worry. I will be gone soon. I told myself. From what I had gathered so far, there were enough female soldiers in this pack and thankfully, they all wore uniforms. I just had to get one of them to follow me to private place, where the two men that had been joblessly following me around wouldn’t see and manoeuvre her. My plan was to change into her uniform and get out this damn pack before they could even notice that I was gone.J

    STARLETTEMy plan had failed. The moment I bolted out of the room, two guards stationed outside intercepted me. Without hesitation, they bundled me back inside and handed me over to Silas. His smirk never faltered, a sinister satisfaction radiating from him as he carried me in his arms and unceremoniously threw me onto the bed.“You are going nowhere, love.” He said smugly as he turned around and started walking towards the door. “You better get used to it. A maid would bring your food now. Eat and be healthy. The best meals were specially prepared for you.”And so, he left, leaving me alone to my misery and despair. I couldn’t live like this forever. I couldn’t become his baby-making machine. Maximus would find me and save me. He had to.A few moments after Silas left, a maid walked in with a tray bearing varieties of foods. The aroma was so intoxicating, making me salivate, so much so that I swallowed my saliva a few times. My stomach rumbled, hinting that I was hungry and needed to

    MAXIMUSI looked around, asking no one in particular. “Is it true that Isaac removes the nails of his victims?”If he did this, then he was as good as dead. I’d slowly skin him alive, make him feel every ounce of agony before chopping his meat to pieces.“Rogues.” One of the warriors replied. “After rogues attacks, he peels off their nails and keeps them. According to him, it serves as a means to teach other rogues a lesson and make them stay off the pack.”Isaac was so dead!Without hesitation, I rushed back to the Star Claw pack. I should have known. His complete indifference to his daughter’s disappearance and his refusal to join the search had been suspicious. I hadn’t pressed him then because his very presence irritated me. Now, I was furious at my oversight. “Isaac!” I growled so loudly when I reached the pack house, running upstairs in rapid steps to go find him. I didn’t have the patience to wait for him to come down.“Where are you?” I growled as I walked through the corrido

    MAXIMUSI mind-linked Kade, feeling rage rumble within me. “Kade. Meet me outside, now! We are going to Star Claw.”“Why? The Luna Queen still hasn’t returned?” He asked, concern evident in his tone.I couldn’t tell him what had just happened; my ego wouldn’t let me. “Stop asking questions and meet me outside.” I said dismissively.Grabbing my car keys, I hurried to my car. Just as I entered, Kade reached the car and joined me in the passenger seat.“Maybe she just wants to spend more time with her—“ He started, but I cut him off.“She wouldn’t want to spend more time with them. They don’t have that type of relationship. Now, shut up. I am not in the mood to answer your questions.”When we got to the Star Claw park, everywhere was quiet, the party seeming to have ended a long time ago.“Take me to your Alpha.” I told one of the guards at the pack’s border.Although surprised to see me in their pack, he quietly led me and Kade to the pack house, his eyes glued to the ground all the way

    STARLETTEThe bed felt incredibly soft and comforting against my skin. I wished I could remain like this forever, as it felt like heaven. But sadly, I had to wake up. Stretching my arm towards Maximus, I was met with emptiness. I sighed. He must have left early for work again today, like always, I thought. I had to get up too because I also had work to do. So, opening my eyes, I felt an unusual heaviness, and I had to shut them close. Groaning softly, I made another attempt, this time slowly. The room around me looked strange—very strange. This wasn’t our bedroom. Panic surged through me as I bolted upright. A sharp, throbbing pain exploded in my head, like a drumbeat pounding relentlessly. Whimpering, I cradled my aching head while scanning my unfamiliar surroundings. Where was I? I wondered. And just as I asked myself that question, memories came pouring in, and my heart began to beat dangerously against my ribcage. I could remember rogues attacking us and being injected with som

    MAXIMUSIt was past midnight, and Starlette still hadn’t returned. Star Claw wasn’t far from Royal Crest—it should have been a short trip. I kept checking the time and glancing toward the pack’s entrance, hoping to see the cars she’d left with. But there was nothing. I didn’t want her to go to that place alone, but she insisted. Now, I was regretting giving in to her demands. I should’ve insisted on following her.I didn’t know, but a nagging feeling weighed on me, a deep suspicion that something might have gone wrong. But I tried to wave that feeling off, hoping it was just my paranoia that was causing it.Kade tried to mind link me, and I let him through.“Yes?” I asked gruffly, the frustration of not having my mate with me eating deep.“One of the prisoners wants to talk.” He said.“Where are you?” I asked.“By the circle.”“Alright. I am coming.” I said before cutting off the mind link.Without wasting time, I headed there. Kade was standing in front of the circle, with the guards
