Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 179: 'YOU'RE MY MATE! I WANT YOU!'
ROSEBut I shouldn’t be surprised—this was the Rum I used to know. Rum…Yes. Rum. The superstar with a diva attitude. My ex-boss. All of a sudden, I felt a surge of courage. The same one I’d always feel whenever I faced those bullies. The same grit I had inside me whenever Rum scolded me or tossed a cup of coffee at my outfit, calling me stupid, ugly—dirty Rosie. Suck it up, Rose. You need to be around to make sure Rum is safe. Immediately, my face swivelled down to the ground and I replied firmly, ‘My apologies, Alpha Keithen.’ Lifting my face again, I mustered a casual smile at Rola, who now looked a little remorseful, for some reason, and added, ‘My apologies too, Warrior Rola—.’ ‘Here we go again,’ murmured the exasperated deep voice. ‘I was out of line,’ I continued. ‘Thank you for your concern. But I’m really fine.’And before Rola could respond, I ushered them to move on. ‘Let’s get it going. We’re supposed to be there before the market wakes, aren’t we?’ ‘O-Oh, sure!’ Rol
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 180: 'I need to protect my mate'
ROSE‘It’s alright, Rum.’ A sense of peace filled me, spreading my mouth into a serene smile. ‘It’s alright, Keithen.’ ‘You’re not leaving me,’ he demanded. ‘I am. After this. I’m going to live with Elena until I figure out the whole hybrid thing. Then, I’m going back to the human world to work on daddy’s dream.’ He took one large stride forward. ‘Goddamn it, Rose. You can’t make plans for a future without me. I told you what’ll happen if you try to leave.’ I held his gaze confidently. ‘Us being together…who is it really helping, huh, Rum?’ And before he answered, I added, ‘Me? You? Or Hector and Rola?’ He jolted in surprise, as though the thought was new to him. ‘What the fuck are you trying to say? That I’m using you? Deity’s arse, what the fuck do you take me for?! What happened to 'I always thought you're smart, fun and kind’?’‘It’s exactly that!’ I balled my fists to resist the urge of headbutting him. ‘It’s exactly because you’re kind you want everyone to be happy. Even if
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 181: A New Life for Rose
ROSEWake up, Rose…. K…. In danger … Wake up, my baby girl…. My eyes flew open. A whitewashed ceiling greeted me and I blinked back furiously.Something happened. But what is it? My chest was heaving heavily, as though crushed by slab of concrete, but I could sit up pretty easily. That's… my desk—my designs are on the wall—my cupboard—. I looked down and saw the sheets wrinkled around me like ripples of a clear, blue pond—. The bluest waters flashed across my mind. Then, the smell of the freshest grass, and—. A hammer struck the back of my head, and pain exploded from my lips. 'AH!!!!!'Immediately, the door threw open and Joy rushed in. 'What is it?!' Her cries of concern reached me before she plopped down next to me. 'Are you hurt?' 'My head…,' whined my voice. ‘It hurts….’ But not anymore. Wait, do I whine? I paused and blinked at the sheets, hands grabbing my head. Then, I looked up and stared at my best friend, who was eyeing me in sheer concern. My mouth opened, wa
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 182: The Alpha meets the Darkness
RUMThree days ago… Her rosy cheeks paled swiftly, her pretty eyes wide open, round with shock and fear, threatening to pop out from the pressure of the fucking thing strangling her. I knew instantly what that thing was—the darkness himself. There was nothing about him in the scrolls, only hints borrowed from the art of the deity–as though he was purposefully erased from the records.But by the guidance of those hints, I knew more about him. Though not enough to fight him. But enough to outsmart him, to buy time. I knew that it must have slipped out of Rola into Rose—just as it did so a few days ago, when Rose was all weird and spiteful.GODDAMN IT, SAVE HER, KEITHEN! My brain roared. So, without thinking, I summoned the special feeling inside me, the same one I had when Ellis tried to attack me and I almost killed him. And it was then I realised that I was still weak. I should've stuck with Ellis' plan and attained mastery of my special ability before I face the darkness. Rola.
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 183: The Alpha's Contract with the Darkness
RUM‘The chosen one?’ I scoffed. ‘Don’t you think it’s too grand a name? For a puppet.' The invisible claws digging into my uncle’s chest had finally found what it was looking for and was starting to pull it out of the old werewolf—. His body arched like a broken doll; his mouth wide opened—.Rola was shaking in one corner, her hands desperately clasped to her ears, as though what she was hearing felt deafening and fucking scary. Another laughter and then, the voice continued bluntly: Not grand enough for the finest puppet I’ll ever get… you don’t know the lengths I’ve gone to get you. Son of a bitch. I snorted derisively. ‘Am I supposed to be impressed?’ Not impressed. Honoured—you should be honoured… so many have sacrificed themselves for you….Deity's arse, he's gonna recite his killing list now—and I'm supposed to listen to all this shit. That nosy healer—I wanted to wait in the garden for your arrival but she wouldn’t let me… threatened to reduce me back to dots… I had to
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 184: Good News, Bad News
ROSE Three months later…. ‘It has personality,’ remarked the professor as she shut her laptop, smiling to the students streaming out of the lecture hall. Then, she turned to me with a hawkish gaze through her glasses, evaluating me via my face, and muttered, ‘You said you were trained at the B.A.D. under Annie.’ She didn't exactly train me, but there’s no point in explaining anyway. ‘Yes.’ I nodded firmly. ‘I was only an intern.’ She leaned closer and whispered in a low, warning tone. ‘You better not lie to me, young lady. My reputation is on the line here.’ Huh? Puzzlement gathered my brows. ‘It's just an assignment. Everyone else has gotten back theirs, graded. But not me. So I’m only asking it back, professor.’ Not taking her eyes off me, she slipped her laptop into her bag and flipped the sling on her shoulder, her brows not losing that sternness. ‘You won't get it back because I’ve submitted it for a styling competition, Cintilar.’ What. the. Hell? ‘Now, I know th

RUM Rose. She was laughing heartily with someone on the same couch as her. Who? And the ground slammed on my face—wind punched out of my lungs—and I gasped for air once again, gasping and panting. The one living inside me was in laboured breathing as well. And my mind smiled: I managed to hurt him a little. He isn’t invincible afterall. He may not feel pain and is untouchable, literally, but there are ways to make him feel both—to tame him. I have to put a leash around him, or he’d get out of control. ‘To the South.’ I drew in deep, longer breaths to catch up with my frightened heart and continued, ‘there are eighteen packs. East, thirty. North, six.’ I swallowed and sat up finally, feeling better. ‘You want fast then send more warriors out there. The sooner our army grows to thrice the size of White Crown’s, the sooner we can call ourselves ready.’ Fine. We’ll do that. But I still want a piece of the Howling Five. I’ve waited long enough… NO MORE. I sighed and muttered, ‘
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 186: The White Wolf Appeared Again
ROSE Screams of terror struck the stale air of the back alley. ‘I-Is that a—?’ whispered Jessie, her eyes wide with disbelief. ‘W-Wolf?’ Wolf?! New fear gripped me. Shit! Is it behind me? I couldn’t move, kept my gaze on the trio, begging for them to give me something. A cue, a hint, anything! I don’t want to be eaten! ‘It’s staring at us!’ hissed deer number two, patting the third girl’s shoulder anxiously. ‘I think it ran away from the zoo and was taking a nap here. And we’ve disturbed it!’ The third girl whispered, ‘Damn it, we didn’t disturbed it—Cintilar did. She fell on it.’ Oh hell! That sharp thing was the wolf’s teeth?! But it felt like metal—like a broken part of something. ‘On three.’ Jessie, who’d been standing behind, advised calmly. Wait, what? Run? On the count of three? ‘Wait!’ hissed deer two. ‘What about Cintilar?’ Huh? Me? What about me? ‘Shut up, Gina!’ snapped the third girl, her voice wavering with fear. ‘Do you see her anywhere? She’s pro
