Mated To The Alpha Kings

Delaney’s POV

The rays of sunshine glinted on my face, making me groan softly. I turned on my side, so I can sleep comfortably on the bed when it registered. Bed… why am I lying on the bed?

The events of everything that happened back at Valleys flooded into my head, making me tense. Knox, Werewolves… My eyes flew open only to meet familiar dark eyes. His words drifted into my mind – the ones he spoke of before I fainted. “Mate! You are mine!”

I was taken aback when I saw him glaring at me like I did something wrong, “What?” I asked, glancing around. I guess I’m in some kind of infirmary, making me wonder if we’ve left the vampire kingdom. The thought dispersed as soon as it came because it’s not possible, this must be the werewolves pack. ‘Oh, Delaney, you’ve done it again. I thought escaping the vampires is all I have to worry about, but now it seems I have to bother about the werewolves too.’ I thought depressingly.

Instead of answering, the man glared harder at me. Did I do something wrong?

“Who marked you?” He asked sternly.

My brows crease, marked? When I didn’t reply, a low growl came out from him, causing me to flinch. I still haven’t gotten over the fact that he’s a werewolf. If I hadn’t seen him shift before my eyes, I would have thought it was all a dream.

“Are you mute? Why is there another male marked on your neck? Are you… mated?” He growled, words coming out strained, I could feel the anger oozing out of him in waves, making me tense further, I was ready to bolt if he makes a move.

Mated? What the heck does he mean by that? I could only stare at him as if he has gone crazy. Remembering the wound on my neck, I tentatively touched it, surprised that it wasn’t as painful as it was before. Could this be the mark he’s talking about? It’s just an injury I got when Knox was feeding from me.

Again, there was a pang of pain that spread through my chest at the thought of him, what was he doing now? He must have found out I’m missing, will he be furious?

Someone cleared her throat above me, “Maybe you should have this conversation with her later Rakel, we need to feed her first.”

Rakel glared at me one last time before storming out of the room, leaving me utterly confused. What does he mean by mate, mated, and marked?

I glance at the lady beside me with a questioning look, but she only shook her head, “Let him be for now. I’m Mira, by the way, the pack nurse, and you are?”

“Laney. I’m Delaney.”

“A lovely name you got there, hold on, let me get you something to eat” she giggled softly before dashing out of the room.

I sat there thinking… what the hell was going on, Rakel called me ‘mate’ the other time. I wonder if it has a meaning to it. Ever since I woke up, I’ve been feeling uneasy for some unknown reason, something tells me I’ve gotten myself in bigger trouble than when I was with Knox. Though I didn’t feel any sense of danger when Rakel was standing near me even when he was angry, I feel like Rakel has a dark edge to him ready to snap at any minute. I have a feeling I won’t like the term ‘mate’ when they explain it to me.

The door busted open as Mira walked in holding a tray in her hand. A man followed closely behind her, looking so much like Rakel. I instantly knew he was related to Rakel from their resemblance. Their dark hair, obsidian black eyes, and well-built body are enough to make any woman drop their panties… well, except mine, of course.

“Ooh, so this is the woman capable of riling up my cousin brother on the very first day.”

“Let her be Asher” Mira set the tray in my front, bobbing her head for me to eat. My stomach rumbled loudly at the sight of the food, I haven’t eaten anything since Katherine last fed me.

“What? I heard my cousin found his mate, isn’t it right for me to welcome her into the family?” Asher muttered, there was a gleam in his eyes as he watched me with interest, “Hey, I’m Asher.”

“Laney.”

His eyes drifted down to my neck causing him to grin widely “Wow, this just keeps getting better and better” he says more to himself than us.

“Mate?” I asked, getting irritated as they keep referring to me as Rakel’s mate.

Their eyes widened, “Hold on, you know what we are right?” Asher asked and I nodded.

“Did you just find out?” he pressed on.

“I found out about it before he brought me here… Speaking of which, where are we? Are we close to Boston?”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Asher and Mira glanced at themselves and cursed, “It’s definitely getting better, haha! Rakel is in for it this time, let me go share the news.” He chuckles and left.

Before I could ask Mira, she pushed the tray forward, “Eat Luna, you need to regain your strength, I’ll explain everything as you eat.”

I silently picked up the spoon and started eating the veggies. My head was swarming with thoughts that I can’t even sort out at the moment, so I glance at Mira who was watching me with interest. From the looks she was giving me, I know she has lots of questions for me, as do I.

“Say whatever you want to say, Mira” I mumbled.

Her cheeks flushed red in embarrassment, making her look younger than she looks. She looks twenty-four, three years older than I am, she has a sweet delicate face with lush lips. A dewy complexion, Auburn hair with graceful waves. Her sapphire eyes twinkle as they stared at me.

“You caught me there haha. I don’t want to sound so rude or anything, but why were you trying to escape from the vampires? Did they hurt you or…” She gasps, “Is it the man who marked you? You were running from him, right?”

I nod, “Yup, can you explain this marked and mate thing? I don’t get it.”

Her mouth formed an ‘O’

She shook her head in disbelief before speaking carefully while watching my expression.

“Marked is the symbol on your neck that proves to all unmated males that you have a man… um how do I put this, whenever any male sees this, they’ll back off because they’ll know you already belong to someone. And that brings us to why Rakel is mad because you are supposed to be his mate, his soulmate. You’re supposed to bear his mark, not someone else’s.”

My jaw hung open at her explanation, Knox did not mark me without my consent, did he? The last time I checked, it was a wound on my neck, not a damn mark! I really need a mirror right now before I freak out.

I took a deep breath to calm my emotions before meeting her gaze, “What happens when I’m marked?” I was somewhat afraid of what her answer will be, but I have to know “Also, aren’t you mistaken that I’m Rakel’s mate? Furthermore, I can’t be his soulmate!”

Her eyes glazed over for a minute then she suddenly stood up, “Let’s get out of here. Rakel wants you to shower, he wants the males to smell off your skin.”

I pulled up my shirt to smell it, when I didn’t perceive any other smell apart from sweat, I gave her a perplexed look.

“Yes, werewolves have a keen sense of smell, it’s driving him crazy.” She didn’t say any more than that, I didn’t bother asking as she led me out of the room. The little information I’ve gotten from her proves my theory was right, I’m really in deep shit this time. I have a feeling escaping here won’t be as easy as I did with the vampires, no one will volunteer to help me out. I decided to push everything aside, for now, I’ll think of something after I see the damn mark everyone is talking about.

We didn’t come across anyone on our way making me wonder where everyone went to. I didn’t bother starting a conversation with Mira, her chatty side seems to have shut down after Rakel told her to take me to his house. We arrived at our destination a few minutes later, a gasp escapes my lips when I saw the house – more like a mansion. It had a masculine vibe to it because of the dark tone that it was painted. It looked like a Lego house, with its straight, angled, shapes, but the shapes worked. It was a beautiful piece of architecture.

Some guards were stationed at the entrance, they bowed slightly as we walked in. It made me think of my time in valleys, Vendetta also brought me to a house, the difference is they didn’t have guards, I’m sure they never thought a weak human like me can escape from their grasp.

Mira helped me pick a room before pausing at the door “I’ll be leaving now Luna, Alpha Rakel would be back soon, but before I go I think you should know this. Be careful with what you say or how you behave around Rakel… he might be your mate, but no one knows how he’d take this… I mean, you being marked and all that. If you don’t want him as a mate, you can always reject him, I’m saying this because of how he’s been with females in the past.”

I opened my mouth to ask what she meant by ‘reject him’ when someone cleared his throat. We both froze and turn back to see Asher standing by the stairwell, “Don’t you have work to do Mira?”

She gave me a worried look before dashing out of my room. Asher gave me a look before following her.

Great! Just Great!

It seems my worries keep piling up, now I have to stay wary of Rakel – my supposed mate. Like I always do, I pushed my worries aside, close my room door, and started stripping. After that, I padded to a door that I assumed to be the bathroom.

I directly went to the mirror and untied the bandage on my neck. A gasp left my lips as I stared at my neck, the injury has healed up nicely, leaving a unique mark on my skin. Knox… He really marked me, does that explain why I felt his emotions back then? I’ve been trying to contain my anger at him, but I couldn’t anymore, I let it consume me this time, I wish he was here, so I could lash out at him.

I quickly took my bath and wore a baggy t-shirt I saw in the wardrobe, then I began pacing in my room.

Suddenly, I felt a familiar ache in my tummy, making me groan. Oh, God, not now. This can’t be happening. This only happens when I start needing to cum, need to masturbate. It’s a surprise I haven’t felt this need since my time in Valleys, maybe it’s because Knox touched me a few times.

My nipples harden, I felt wetness pulled in between my legs and my breath quickened. I rubbed my thighs against each other to alleviate the ache, but it only worsens it. If I don’t cum now, I’ll be writhing in pain till I masturbate. It’s been that way for me ever since my stepdad forced me to do things, I don’t know why pain comes whenever I don’t masturbate, maybe it’s something my stepdad did to me when I was young, something my brain cannot recollect.

The ache doubled again making my body sensitive, I hurriedly took off my shirt since it was uncomfortable. Without further ado, I lay on the bed – legs spread. Pleasure zinged through my body as I slide a hand down my hot centre, flick my knobs softly, and rubbed on it. I was extremely wet, to the extent that my juice dripped down onto the bed.

I moaned out loud as I finally inserted a finger, which wasn’t enough. I added two more of them and began moving them in and out. My laboured breathing filled the room as I tried to find release. I used my free hand to squeeze my peaks… I was so focused on what I was doing that I didn’t hear anyone come in until I heard a loud growl, making me freeze in spot.
