All Chapters of The Alpha King’s Special Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

MAXIMUS I knew Starlette didn’t poison Lauren, but what was even more frustrating was that I didn’t know how to prove her innocence. It hurt me that I had to order her to be taken to the dungeon, but I only did what I had to do. She was being accused of poisoning Lauren, and it didn’t matter if I believed or not; it was just the right thing to do at the moment. It was the pack’s rules, mate or not.Although I was beyond glad that her innocence had been proven, I hated that it had to be Lucius who proved it. She liked him now, and she hated me. She wouldn’t even talk to me; she wouldn’t allow me to explain myself to her, and that was frustrating. I paced back and forth in front of the room, banging on the door at regular intervals, with frustration pulling at my chest, hoping she would finally open the door and allow me to speak to her. She was driving me crazy; thoughts of her were driving me crazy, and I didn’t know what to do with all these feelings. “Nile, do you think she wou

MAXIMUSEverything around me stilled; my attention focused on her and her alone as I arose from my throne and slowly walked up to her.“What did you say?” I asked again to confirm. “What did you just say?”Looking up at me, her lips curled into a smile. “I am pregnant, Max. We are having a baby.”“Michael.” I immediately called the pack doctor. “Can you confirm, please?”The doctor stepped forward and bowed a little. "Indeed, she is pregnant. I confirmed that when I examined her when she was brought into the hospital for poisoning.”“Take her to her room and make sure she never leaves.” I immediately ordered the guards. I didn’t even have to think twice. After a very long time of trying for an heir, my wishes were finally coming through. The excitement that filled my chest was immeasurable. An heir, finally!It was just sad that it had to be from Lauren.I let out a full-blown laughter, unable to contain my excitement. Finally!“Congratulations, Alpha. Congratulations. Congratulation

STARLETTEI wasn’t frightened by his sudden coldness. I was already used to his moods. “I haven’t seen you since that day,” I said, unafraid, as I took a spot beside him and sat down.“Yes.” He muttered, shifting his gaze back to the running stream. “You haven't answered my question, Starlette. What are you doing here?”His voice still held that cold edge.“I came to see you. Obviously.” I replied, rolling my eyes. “You should go back before your mate starts looking for you.” He picked up a stone and tossed it into the stream.“So you’re scared of the big bad Alpha.” I teased.He glanced at me, a smile finally tugging at his lips. “You wish.”“Of course I’m right.” I impulsively stood up and ran into the running stream, splashing my legs in the water. It was so warm and felt good against my skin.He rested both hands on his knees. “That’s not it.”I raised a brow. “Then what is?”“I’m just—“ He trailed off and sighed. “I don’t want you to disobey your mate.”“That’s nothing new.” I

STARLETTE“Luna?” The surprise in my father’s tone, equalling mine.“Yes, Luna.” Maximus affirmed. My father raised a questioning brow. “And why is that? She’s an Omega, remember?”“She’s my mate.” Maximus retorted, and Father displayed a great deal of shock. His expression shifted from shock to disbelief, finally settling on disdain. “How could you, the Alpha King, be mated to a mere worthless Omega like Starlette?" He repeatedly shook his head in disbelief. “They’ve got to be a mistake somewhere.”“There is no mistake. Starlette is perfect!” Maximus’s tone suggested he was starting to get annoyed. “She would ruin you! She’s no good!” My own father tried to diminish me. “I repeat—“ Maximus took an intimidating step forward, his jaw clenching. “She is perfect.”I still haven’t absorbed his sudden announcement of wanting to make me his Luna, but the way he stood up for me, spoke about me in front of my father, melted all the rage I harboured towards him. My heart warmed, elated tha

STARLETTE“That bitch.” Bella hissed, her nose wrinkling with disgust. “I always knew She had something up her sleeves. But I didn’t think she’d be desperate and audacious enough to pin a pregnancy on the Alpha.”My eyes narrowed at Bella’s statement, and she rolled her eyes at me. “Don’t look at me like that. I know you are also having the same thoughts. She’s been with the Alpha for years and couldn’t conceive. It was even prophesied that you were the only one who could bear his child. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, she’s pregnant? It didn’t make sense to me at first, but now it does. The pup isn’t his.”“Don’t jump to conclusions yet.” I cautioned, clearing my throat. “We don’t have any evidence. Yet.”“If you say so.”“Let’s get back to what we came here for,” I said, steering the conversation back to the task at hand. That was my top priority at the moment.“Okay.” She shrugged, and as she spun around, my eyes caught the book she was holding. It looked very familiar. “Bella.”
