Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 44: 'My father died saving you? '
ROSE I hate to admit this, but Rum is right: I am stupid. What do werewolves eat? Meat, of course! They are carnivores! But Rum loves beef the most. And since Blake and Tana isn't picky with the choice of meat (surprisingly), I ordered roast beef and ribs from a restaurant a few blocks away. Then, I was chastised for comparing werewolves to pigeons (which I didn't) and ordered some beef steaks from another restaurant a few more blocks away. While waiting for the food to arrive, Rum settled on the couch that I sleep in, again, taking the spot closest to the other couch and keeping me away from the couple, and motioned for Blake, Alpha of the Dark Moon pack, to begin the talk, which he had promised to do. And Blake began. "So we went on a trip—.” Rum exhaled. “Yeah. To disperse the dark whims.” Blake stared at the floor while Tana looked at him with worry and sympathy. “It was a rushed trip,” the low bass voice continued. “Ellis detected its energy increasing in folds,
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 45: 'What’s sling dash?'
RUM With Rose temporarily removed, I returned to the living room to address the issue of my apology. “Keithen,” Tana began. “You heard what we said to Miss Rose .” “I’ll do it,” I said. I crossed my arms and stared fiercely. “You want me to write a note to that cub?” Blake looked as though a boulder was lifted from his chest. “We couldn’t ask for more.” I jabbed a finger at him. “You owe me one.” The Alpha observed me with a thought in his mind and then muttered, “I owe this life—and the years with my son—to your father so I owe you more than one.” I was already seated at the low table, writing the note (I, Keithen Hook, Alpha of the Silver Ring pack, formally apologise to Alpha Blake of the Dark Moon pack…) when Blake dropped to his knees before me. And then his mate did the same. “When the time comes, cub,” Blake lifted a firm look at me. “I will fight for you.” “But you’re already in the Howling Five. We’ve sworn allegiance to each other, haven’t we?” I mustered a
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 46: 'Stop running away.'
ROSE "W-What about me?" I suddenly felt uneasy. As though I was naked before him. I tried to stand to clear the plates, but he grabbed my wrist and kept me seated on the carpeted floor. "Stop running away." He stared at me. "I'm not r-running away—. Wait. Why do you think I'm running away? I'm not running away from anything." I was puzzled—and flustered, because Rum was scrutinizing my face for flaws, and I felt like I had many because I had no time for a meticulous skincare routine. "Contact lens." Rum concluded in the tone of a doctor giving his diagnosis. I blinked furiously. Contact… lens? "You need to ditch those fugly glasses—." "No!" I pushed at him and stood. He swiftly followed suit and grabbed my wrists to stop me from going anywhere. "Did your parents get you those glasses?" "No," I replied almost instantly. "Excellent! They've got no sentimental value. You can lose them—." He tried to take them off me. But I swayed my face back, away from his hands. "No,
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 47: 'Are you that singer?'
ROSE “Fine….” I rubbed the sore spot. We arrived at the convenience store and, immediately, after I entered, I headed straight to the daily supplies section. And Rum followed closely behind me. Which was unnerving. So I paused in front of the row of contact lenses and lowered my voice to ask, “I thought men don’t usually follow women when they shop?” Rum was as surprised as me. “Really?” Then, he shrugged. “I’m not human anyway. So it’s good. So which one are you getting?” I scanned the neatly arranged boxes of contacts and reached for the brand that Joy is using. I turned it around in my hand and then looked back at the shelf and spotted a box that read: ‘1-Day. Soft.” in the same brand. So I made a switch. “Why did you switch?” Rum asked from behind me. I turned sideways and he was looking over my shoulder like a nosey. With a Herculean effort to stay patient, I explained, “I’m new to this. So I think it’s best to use a soft lens. And to change it on a daily basis.” H
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 48: 'Rose, is that you?'
ROSE Jesus Christ… I look bad. “I’ll get change,” I remarked in a haste and spun around. “No, wait!” Rum cried out after me. I turned back to him and he was wiping the spillage with a grey cloth. “There’s no time for you to get change—is this one of your ideas you want to sell people?” “Yee-es….” I nodded with uncertainty. He slapped the damp cloth on the bar counter and glared at me. “This isn’t school anymore. People are going to pay you with their hard earned money so you better be sure.” I straightened my back, thrusting my chest forward and repeated firmly this time. “Yes. It’s a style I’m advocating—simple sophistication.” “Excellent.” “You really think it’s excellent?” I looked down at my outfit. “Why do you doubt me now?” He sounded annoyed. I lifted a sheepish smile at him. “You literally puked water when you saw me just now.” I don’t have the skin of a buffalo nor the honesty of a salesman. When people say my looks are plain, I won’t try to squeeze myse
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 49: 'Wipe it. With your finger.'
ROSE … it’s fuller on the lower lip… I didn’t realise that it was… the last time our lips met… did I feel his lower lip more than his upper? Shucks… I wasn’t paying attention to such details. How could I?! Maybe if I accidentally bump my lips against it, I could tell—. “If you give me that look again, I won’t hesitate to kiss the shit out of you,” a deep voice growled. I blinked and stared at those fine lips moving to mouth the words that I heard next. “Do you hear me?” The voice was deep and raspy… and, strangely, alluring. I felt an itch between my thighs and a tingle in my abdomen. Huh? I lifted my chin and those blue eyes penetrated mine. “Where were you?” Rum asked, his voice was still as demanding, but there was something else in it. Something akin to worry. “Was I gone for that long?” I asked, genuinely wanting to understand the situation that had caused his frustration. “Answer me first. I’m your fucking boss.” “Toilet. Then I bumped into Giles….” Hmm? Why
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 50: 'Hey Rum, nice outfit man.'
ROSE Rum took a longer time than usual. At times like this, I’ll think of Annie and the training that she put me through. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have the patience of a stone. Waiting for a high profile celebrity like Rum requires the same patience as Earth has in baking a lump of fossil. I’m glad that I have at least a quarter of that—or I would’ve long been fired. When he finally emerged, in a black T-shirt and rose gold-coloured sweatpants, I thought he looked like an angel. “Let’s go.” He sauntered past me. “Are you sure this is OK?” I blurted, feeling guilty and unsure. He halted and turned back, his brows knitted in confusion until his gaze dropped down to his off-job outfit. “This?” He looked at me. I nodded. “I mean, you’ve never worn black before… much less rose gold.” He chuckled lightly. “Jesus Christ…. You sure worry a hell lot.” He inhaled deeply and exhaled, then pinched the top of his shirt and asked, “Were you serious when you created this con
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 51: 'Because he's selfish. He doesn't want to lose...'
ROSE He sucked and nibbled strongly, and I mimicked his moves, parting my lips to suck his lips and feel their plumpness—it was the only way—it seems—to appease the tightening in my chest. But the tingles intensified, demanding more of his lips. Wait, I need to get closer. I shifted forward and was able to draw in more of that soft cushion at once. How does his lips feel like against mine? I nibbled his upper lip, rubbing my lips against it, and then repeated the same with both his lips, as though I wanted to memorise its texture. I need to get even closer…. My hands reached up behind his head and pushed it forward. And his firm lips flattened against mine. Then, something warm and moist entered my mouth—. My eyes flew open, staring at Rum’s closed eyes as his tongue stroked mine. His tongue?! I jolted back, tearing my lips from his with a loud smack. “What’s wrong?” Those piercing blue eyes stared into mine. It was then I felt his hands on my back, holding me th
