Mated To The Alpha Kings

Knox POV ~

A familiar pang in my throat made me clench my fist, I need to feed quickly. I don’t think I can hold it anymore, If this goes on, I’ll go bloodlust and that will be terrible since I’m an ancient vampire. It’ll be hard for anyone to get me under control.

A week before the selection, I didn’t get a chance to feed because I was busy with preparations for the selection. Also, I preferred not to feed on my old concubines, I was waiting for my new chosen human. The little I took from her the last time wasn’t enough, I wanted more. Recalling how her blood tasted made me salivate and has been keeping me on the edge any time I think of her, It’s been taking more than I expected not to go to her, and it’s all my fault! I gave her one fucking week for some unknown reason – something I’ve never done before, especially for a human! Left for me, I would have fed from her and fucked her senseless on the selection day, but I couldn’t. Something about her made me consider her darn feelings.

I keep reminding myself why I should hate her, I have every reason to use her the way I fucking want because they never gave a fuck when they were killing my people, my father died in the process of making peace between the humans! However, whenever I decide to go to her, I’ll remember I gave her a week. What happens if she doesn’t come willingly to me? Will I have to kill her? Nope, I can’t let her do that. I need to go to her before she makes her decision.

Pressing the doorbell, I wasn’t expecting Delaney to open the door, but there she stood with an unusual flushed face.

“Aren’t you going to welcome me in, dear Delaney?” I asked, knowing she hates it when I call her that. I know this because there’s always a hint of resentment on her face, but she always masks it pretty well. Only, I’m an ancient vampire, a powerful one at that, there’s nothing that goes hidden from my eyes.

The moment I walked past her, her arousal hit me with a force that I had to halt my steps. I faced her immediately and smirked. It seems like the images I’ve been planting in her mind really affected her.

I inhale her musky scent trying to keep a tight leash on my control, “Wow Delaney, did I interrupt you by coming here? Tell me what you were doing just now.”

“Nothing!” She answers rather quickly. I didn’t think she could blush more, but she did.

“Really? Then why can I perceive your arousal, don’t tell me you were touching your-”

“Shut up! Tell me why you came here!” She cuts.

“You’re sure you weren’t playing with your clit? Don’t tell me I missed all the fun!”

Seeing her like this, I couldn’t help but want to tease her. An idea popped into my head, I picked her up, put her over my shoulder, and took her to her room, flinging her to the bed.

Her scent seems too strong in here, threatening to unleash the last control I had on myself. How can a tiny little human-like her have this much effect on me? My body is reacting to her arousal more than I expected.

“Do you know the second thing every vampire likes apart from blood? Sex. Though werewolves are said to be horny creatures, vampires are almost alike. Almost.” I continue when she shook her head.

And that’s the truth, me being unfed for a week plus and at the same time perceiving her arousal is making me lose my mind. She must have noticed the change in my eyes because fear ooze from her, sending trills to my body. Oh yes, she should fear me.

Jerking her beneath my body when she tried to escape, her eyes widened, “What- what are you doing? You haven’t told me why you’re here! My time isn’t up yet!”

I ignored her by putting my nose in the crook of her neck. I inhaled her sweet scent and moan softly.

“I’m hungry,” I told her, and almost laugh at the look on her face.

“What?”

“I came here because I’m hungry, I need to feed.”

“Like – – – you want my blood? Why?”

Not just your blood, Delaney, I want to you in every way. I wanted to say but opted for – “Well, for one reason, you’re my only chosen.” Lies, I can get any other human whenever I want, but I want just her.

Getting antsy at her attempt to distract me, I leaned down and kissed her. I became drunk on her taste, deepening the kiss as she gasps. I tore my lips from hers, moving to her neck. The moment my fangs graze her neck, she stiffened.

“Knox, no… please don’t.”

The smell of her fear mixed with her arousal was my undoing. My last control snapped, I sank my teeth into her soft, delicate neck and began drinking. I was intoxicated by her blood! It felt so right, her being here, and me drinking from her felt so right that I never want to stop. Her blood is the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted.

Something kept telling me to stop, but I couldn’t bring myself to fucking stop! I wanted more!

I could feel her getting weaker by the minute, something clicked as I drank, making me freeze in shock. I pulled back and stared at her unconscious body as one word rings in my head. Mate!

She is my lifemate! No wonder she feels different from every other human. It all makes sense now. Gosh, I’m such a fool to not notice this immediately. I even marked her without meaning to! Fuck!

My eyes swipe at her still body and began panicking because her body is running cold, I almost drain my mate!

Biting my wrist, I quickly fed her my blood – not too much to turn her into a vamp, but just enough to heal her. After a little while, I pulled my wrist from her mouth, frowning because her neck isn’t healing as expected, but her body temperature is now normal.

Closing my eyes, I focus on Katrina who was in the kitchen downstairs asking her to come quickly. Then I called Vendetta even when I don’t want to. I’ve always denied the fact that she’s not my friend, but right now, I can’t deny it anymore. Vendetta is always smart with information and might have answers to all this. I might’ve lived for a long time, but nothing like this has ever happened.

When Katrina walk in, she paused halfway on seeing Delaney, “Oh dear, this is bad!”

I watched as she rushed into the bathroom to bring the first aid box. I moved out of her way as she worked on Delaney, my mind couldn’t help but go over the news again. Mate? I don’t usually believe in anything, but is the Moon Goddess playing tricks with me or what? Why the heck will she pair me with a human when she knows how much I fucking hate them?

Katrina finished her work and glance at me in fear, “I- I have to go make a protein drink for her, so she can regain her strength.”

I nod just as Vendetta walks in, she took in Laney on the bed before turning to me, “What happened to her? What did you do?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

I ran my hand through my hair and sighed, “She isn’t healing, I lost control… again.”

She frowns, “Are you sure she isn’t your mate? Because this has never happened” her eyes widened when I didn’t reply, “Oh my God! She’s your mate! This is great news! Did you by any chance mark her?”

I nod.

“Oh, that’s why she wouldn’t heal right away because you’re not just any vampire, you’re a powerful ancient vampire so marking her will naturally take a toll on her, and from the bandage on her neck, I’m guessing you also fed from her. Let’s give her three days.”

“That doesn’t explain why she isn’t healing!” I said in annoyance.

“She will heal, you marked her while feeding, and you took a lot, so even if you tried to heal her, she’d only heal when she has enough strength and nutrients in her body.”

Katrina interrupted us by walking in, we watched in silence as she tried to feed Delaney, after a long while they both left me. Before Vendetta left, she had said, “Delaney will hate you now more than she used to.”

I fucking know that if it were before I wouldn’t have given a fuck but now that she’s my mate things will be different. I took in her small heart-shaped face, noticing how beautiful she looks. Her long dark lashes rested on her fair face, her wavy brown hair was sprawled all over on the bed, making her look like a sleeping beauty.

When it was time to leave, I got up and met Katrina downstairs, “Don’t tell her anything about her being my mate, got it?”

“Yes, Alpha.”

I left after that, deciding to go somewhere to get my head straight.

On the third day, I knew the moment Delaney woke up through the faint bond that has formed between us, I made sure to block her out, so she won’t feel me through the bond, It’s a great thing that she’s human, so she probably won’t know about.

I felt her rage like wildfire, she was furious at me. Vendetta was right about that, this is going to be harder than I thought.

I was contemplating going to her when Vendetta barged into my house.

“Knox? You need to come with me quickly.”

“What happened?”

“Delaney – she’s gone. She escaped.”

My eyes slide over to her, “That’s impossible, there’s no way she could leave on her own!”

Vendetta nods “Exactly! Someone helped her.”

“Who?”

“Amira.”
