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
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 52: 'Stop flirting with her.'
ROSE Ambrose is Delta of the Silver Ring pack—and one of the two childhood friends of Rum. That explains why Rum is particularly elated by his visit. He literally begged Dan to extend his break to two hours before the next job, which is a magazine photoshoot and interview for his upcoming album. As soon as the elevator to his penthouse opened, Rum dashed out and bolted straight for the ruggedly handsome guy in an army cut, a grey T-shirt and worn jeans. “Goddess, Kee! You look so… so pretty!” Ambrose blushed a little. “Shut up, you dumbass!” Rum laughed and grabbed the visitor for a long-time-no-see hug that ended with a strong pat on each other’s back. Grabbing Ambrose by his shoulders, Rum asked, “How’s everyone? How’s uncle? How’s mother? Is everyone well?” “Calm down, mutt.” Ambrose chuckled. “I’m a little hungry actually. Got anything to eat?” Rum turned to me and, before he said anything, I hastily suggested, “There’s some roast beef left in the fridge. I can he
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 53: 'Because I don't like it.'
ROSE So Rum put that term in the contract because werewolves can’t mess with humans? I stared at the marble floor of the elevator, feeling especially glum. Stop it, Rose. You can’t fall in love with Rum anyway. You’re here to make sure he does his job and continues to gift the world with his talent—not do a rom-com with him, Jesus Christ…. “Tsk! Are you upset because you can’t hook up with Ambrose?” I jolted up and looked at that gorgeous face of an angel, its features knitted in bitterness. “No. I’m not.” “That doesn’t sound like it.” “What’s wrong with you? I have colleagues—and some of them are men. Are you telling me to avoid everyone who has balls?” “YES.” My eyes flared up in shock. “You’ve got no right to do that.” “Sure, I do.” His blue eyes turned to a fierce shade. “I’m your fucking boss.” “No, you don’t! You don’t have that kind of right even as my boss.” I refuted firmly. Then, a thought popped into my head. I folded my arms and felt a smug look on my fa
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 54: 'I'm sorry, Kee.'
AMBROSE I lied. The pack needs you back, Kee. Desperately…. Your mother misses you sorely…. And something doesn’t feel right about your Uncle. He’s… acting strange. When he thinks that no one is looking, he mutters… he whispers… as though he’s talking to someone. But there’s no one around him. I think he’s sick… but he says he isn’t. A Delta follows the orders of a Beta—who acts on behalf of the Alpha. I want to bring you back, Kee. But my orders were: make sure he doesn’t feel the need to ever return. I turned away from the slightly bitten moon, faintly present behind the thick veil of white clouds and blue sky. What can a third rank werewolf do? Can he disobey the acting leader of the pack? What if he exiled my parents? Will we survive the wilderness? Are we willing to give up everything and become rogues? Crushing my fingers in my palms, I moved back indoors and looked around Kee’s quarters—everything was exactly as what I heard in the grapevine that stemmed
