ROSE It was a werewoman. From her clothes, I could tell that she had been hunting. The fact that I found her here, in the middle of nowhere, not with a pack, means she’s a rogue. The angry red swell in her ankle told me she had slipped, and her being a werewolf told me that she was waiting for her ankle to heal. Those were all my analysis until I came closer and saw a twig jutting from the swell. The frightened look on her face further revealed that this wasn't her first time out alone, and it sure wasn't her first time chancing upon someone while being out here. And those meetings weren't pleasant. 'I-I….' My hand stretched out to her. What's wrong with you, Rose? The woman's more afraid of you than you are of her. I inhaled to calm my nerves and tried on a kind smile. 'I'm a healer.' I knelt before her and observed her wound. 'I don't need a healer,' she snapped. 'Then you need to pull this thing out.' I looked up at her, my brows gathered with concern. 'You're losing
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 167: The Rejects of the Werewolf World
ROSEYou’re doing very well, Rose…. Mum? The silhouette looks like my mother. Smells like her too. But her hair was long and silver. Like the moon. Is it the Moon Goddess? Hello? My mind called out to her. Who are you? Tell me, please. Save him, Rose… Save Keithen…. My face fell deadpan. How do you tell a mysterious voice to stop repeating the same thing over and over like a bad song? I felt my eyelids and pushed at them—-a familiar jaw greeted me—and the evening colours of the skies… and trees, and—. Trees?! Instantly, I sobered up. Then, I saw the vessel that was carrying me and felt a chill up my spine—the chill of embarrassment. Hastily, I pushed at the firm broad chest of muscles—made a Herculean effort to ignore the fact that I miss touching him—and yelled, ‘Put me down!’ And Rum halted. Without a word, he laid me on my feet and watched me in silence as I bounced away from him, knocking into someone. I turned and found myself staring at a familiar werewoman. A second l
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 168: If I reject her?
ROSE Shame seared my cheeks. I dropped my gaze and stammered, ‘E-Even so, he doesn’t need anything! He’s an Alpha. Surely he can find his own food!’ And I chewed in a furious rhythm, ignoring the knowing smiles on the couple’s faces as they stole glances. ***** RUM There are no rogues within a twenty-metre radius of the hut…. Even if a rogue slipped into the circle, it would miss the stream and the opening… so the place is safe. Safe for Rose to stay for a few days. I scanned the vicinity once more before I slipped through the curtain of leaves and bushes and arrived in front of the hut. It was already past dinner. The dim glow of orange from the fireplace inside the hut was peeping through the door, and the lack of movement told me that everyone had retired for the day. Relief spurted through my nose as I shook a smile at the grass. Then, I turned from the hut and moved to the stream—a line the size of a footpath—and sat at the bank. I reached into my pockets and fished
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 169: 'I'm wrong for you'
ROSEPush him away. Do it—oh but his lips, firm with a want but gentle to coax me in wanting the same thing. No, I’m going to get hurt again. I tore my lips away and breathed, ‘Stop. We can’t—mmph….’ He pushed my head forward to capture my lips for another round, not giving a chance of second thoughts. His tongue. Mmm…. Stroking mine with his strength… making me feel desirable hence flattered…. Every time he kisses me, I feel wanted…. No—he’s going to change his mind again and leave me—. And my palm pressed harder. My lips broke apart once more. ‘Stop….’ I was already breathless. Uselessly. His warm palm cupped my jaw and lifted my gaze to his face, his thumbs rubbed my lower lip as his deep voice murmured, ‘I can’t… you know I can’t.’My eyes dropped to his mouth and my lips parted with invitation, even though my palm continued pushing, fighting my heart, being realistic. ‘I’m wrong for you,’ I whispered, my chest feeling stuffed again. I could hear my heart screaming curses a
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 170: 'An eye for an eye'
ROSE‘We can’t go back to Blue Rock?’ I asked, feeling a little guilty for wrecking the original plan of lying low until we’ve trained enough to confront Rum’s uncle and the dark whims. ‘Even if Erasmo allowed it, I don’t think we should.’ Rum handed me my dress and I took it to pull over my head, while he pulled up his pants. ‘Shall we stay here then?’ I asked. ‘I don’t trust rogues.’ He put on his shirt. ‘But your mother was one, wasn’t she? And your grandparents.’ I picked up the bandana beside my feet and stepped towards him. He looked at me. ‘You can’t trust a rogue, Rose. You just can’t.’ I fixed his bandana and then his shirt. ‘But Perri and Kurt are kind and friendly, aren’t they?’ All set, I looked up and found him frowning at me. ‘You don’t think they can be trusted too?’ ‘It’s hard to tell for now.’ And then he pushed me behind him. ‘Sssh. Someone’s coming.’ I smelled it too, faintly in the air. Metal and rock—strangely familiar. ‘Alpha Keithen!’ Perri’s voice arri
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 171: 'This is why I don't fucking trust Rogues!'
RUM I reacted. Right arm out, claws, gripped that ex-sentinel neck and lifted her off high up, her strained look of shock and fear blocking the half-eaten moon. ‘Alpha Keithen! Please!’ Her companion shouted from behind her. He appeared right in front of me, the ex-grower, and dropped to his knees, hands clasped together, begging for mercy. My claws punched through flesh, warm disgusting blood of betrayal trickled down my hand, and a scream of pain exploded from that vile mouth. ‘Aaaaah!!!!!’ Kurt hugged my feet. ‘NO! PLEASE! Take me instead!’ he pleaded desperately, wailing hard. And tears of regret streamed down. Perri grunted in pain but said nothing. ‘You?’ I glared down at him and caught a glimpse of Rose lying unconscious beside him. ‘Good idea.’ My voice was low, threatening and dangerous. And the ex-sentinel sensed it. ‘NOooooo!’ She finally shrieked. ‘Do it! Kill me! I was the one who wanted to do it—he tried to talk me out of it but I wouldn’t listen! KILL ME INS
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 172: 'Why aren't you my mate?'
RUM‘Elena may be a trained healer but she’s good,’ Ellis reassured me. ‘Rose is in good hands.’ Every second ticked like a time bomb on Rose’s life. I frowned at the older Alpha. ‘Then why do I feel like her life’s slipping away?’ I grabbed Ellis’ arm with a new terror. ‘She’s a fucking hybrid! That means her healing abilities are weaker than mine!’ ‘Keithen—.’ Ellis tried to stop me when I jumped to a stand and dashed over to Rose’s, but my worry was stronger. I arrived before the three women and Elena was still hovering her hand above Rose’s abdomen—there was an ugly slit in her flawless skin. The blood had dried around it but she still looked paler than usual. ‘Kee, you can’t be here,’ whispered my mother. ‘I want to be here when she dies.’ ‘Goddess blast it, she won’t die!’ Elena snapped in clear agitation and shot a motherly gaze at Rose. ‘I won’t let her,’ she said, gritting her teeth. My mother patted the healer’s shoulder and dabbed Rose’s forehead with a cloth torn fr
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 173: 'Stop shaking your head at your Alpha'
ROSEI woke up to a familiar room setting and the even more familiar soft snoring of my lovely beast/superstar and his handsome, peaceful sleeping face. Immediately, I started tracing the lines and contours of his face, going through the same old curves and strokes like someone who’s going blind soon, as the recent events came crawling back and aligning themselves into the calendar of my biological clock. Then, the same face was staring back with the look of horror and shock and extreme guilt—and it was my recollection of Rum’s expression when he saw Perri stabbing me. And shame and guilt of my own swarmed to my throat. Damn…. So much for trying to live on my own. If it weren’t for me, Perri wouldn’t have a chance to hurt Rum. Thank God, I managed to save… him. Jesus Christ, I’m sounding like the voice in my head. ‘Rose?’ Those blue eyes were looking at me with concern. ‘Do you need the bathroom?’ I had been in and out of a recovery slumber for the past four days, with only the
