Mated To The Alpha Kings

Rakel’s POV

To say I’m furious will be an understatement, I was mad when she didn’t give me any information about the vampires but when I heard her little moans coming from the bathroom… it took all I had not to go in there, fling her on the bed and claim her hard in a way she will never think about any other man but me. Then I perceived her damn arousal which smells so sweet- torturing me in every possible way, even more so than when I slept on the same bed as her. The only reason I controlled the urge to claim her was the rage I felt knowing she disobeyed me all because of HIM! Does she miss him to the extent of touching herself? The thought made me slam my mug on the counter, so hard that it shattered.

“Wow, wow. This is the first time I’m seeing my dearest cousin upset over a girl.” Asher drawled, strolling into my office.

I ignored him and kept brooding. Ryder kept pestering me to go release his mate from those handcuffs, which didn’t help matters either. It’s her punishment for disobeying my orders. No one has ever dared to go against my orders, but she did, over a vampire! Is the moon Goddess laughing at me now that my mate loves a vampire?

‘You aren’t helping matters by leaving her in that state, you’ll make her see you as a monster. It will definitely be hard getting on her good side now’ Ryder sighed once more.

‘I would always get on her good side, she just needs to understand that she’s mine alone!’

‘If only you know…’ he sighed again before retreating to the darkest part of my mind, completely shutting me out. I frown, ‘what the hell does he mean by that?’

Asher drew my attention when he suddenly punched me right in the face. I blinked several times, the rage I bottled up intensified as I slowly raised my head to look at him, “Did you just… hit me?”

“That’s right, a little Bird told me you chained your mate like a slave, sigh. I guess I should celebrate since she’d come running into my arms in no time, you’re making my work easier cousin.” he shrugged walking out of my office like nothing happened. Only my cousin will dare hit me when I’m in this state, not only that but to use my mate to anger me. Before he could reach the door, I flew from where I sat, landing beside him. At the same time, my fist was raised to punch him.

He expected that because he easily dodged my move, I came at him again, this time kicking him across the room.

He chuckled “What? Don’t tell me your little mate can’t cry on my shoulders? She’s a sweet pie you know, and I always love sweet things.”

Okay, that made me lose it. I came at him again and again, beating him up to a stage that the bones cracked. Seeing that he wasn’t reciprocating my attacks, I lost the zeal to fight.

He grinned, forcing himself to a sitting position, “It’s about time, I heard you invited vampires into your territory. Losing your shit at this time won’t be a good thing.” he limped away after that. Even though I dislike Asher sometimes, I couldn’t help but feel grateful to him. He did that, so I can keep my cool during the meeting with the Vampires, I still don’t like the fact that he’s using Delaney to rile me up. ‘Or does he have his eyes on my mate?’ I thought with a narrowed gaze.

At sundown, Ten, Kieth, Chris, and some sturdy wolves stood at the border as the Vampires arrived. We stood several feet away from each other. No one moved nor spoke, everyone was waiting for who would attack first, one could feel the heavy tension that hung in the air. Werewolves and Vampires, naturally, are enemies. However, we both wanted to make this meeting as civil as possible, that was my main reason for asking Ten to choose the wolves who had enough self-control to prevent fighting.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

There were four males and a female vampire, no one needed to point out who the vampire king was. I could tell from his aura. His white hair hung in a low ponytail, his gray eyes watched me emotionlessly, skeptically, as if trying to scrutinize my reasons for inviting them over. I took a step forward and so did he, which made my first impression of him to be admiration. Yup, he doesn’t show fear like most vampires will.

“Alpha Knox.” I nodded his way. Calling a vampire an Alpha seems weird but then, anyone can be an Alpha so long as they have the traits of one, I can’t wait to see what his look like.

“Rakel.” he nods back.

“Welcome to Silver Moon’s pack, although I wish it were in a normal circumstances.” Oh, well, as normal it can be when you see the man your mate loves.

“Indeed.”

I scoffed mentally, a game. We are both playing a game of being clueless. I couldn’t help the thrill that worked its way into my body, it’s refreshing to have someone as your equal sometimes, it’s been a long time since anyone has spoken to me without fear.

“Please, come with me.” I headed to the guest house without waiting to see if he follows, I know he would because he’s desperate.

Once we arrived at the guesthouse, a few females served drinks, though I wonder if they’ll take it, there’s no way in hell I will serve them blood. The thought made me feel disgusted.

“So…” I started, “why would a vampire king lurk around my territory, it isn’t friendly, you know.”

“My mate, I’m here to take my mate,” he replied, straightforwardly.

I blinked, “Mate, may I ask who is this mate of yours? We don’t have any female vampires here.”

His eyes met mine, “Not a vampire, a human named Delaney.”

It was as if the temperature in the room dropped by a few degrees. I huffed. So, not only is he good at playing games, but he’s also bending the outcome to be in his favor. He must know that I would hand over Delaney if she’s his mate. I decided to break the tension in the room by chuckling, “If I say there’s no one here by that name, what would you do?”

“Lie, I can feel her through the bond. Bring her out, Rakel,” he commanded.

My eyes narrowed, “You should know that I am in command here, not you, Knox. And I’m afraid I can’t hand over Delaney to you.” I answered, not bothering to hide her anymore.

Everyone tensed up, ready to battle if a fight broke out. Knox looks as if he had expected that answer, he raises his brows at me, “Why? If I may ask, you want something in exchange?”

“Delaney is not an item that can be exchanged for anything,” I growled, “because she’s my mate. I won’t give my mate to you.”

“Impossible! Delaney is mine!”

“Nope, not yours, but mine!” I spat.

Ten and everyone else in the room shifted uncomfortably on their feet, wondering if they should interrupt us or not. The situation is now becoming intenser than expected, and why won’t it be when two possessive males are about to fight over their mate?

Knox coldly stared at me in a scrutinizing manner, as if he’s trying to figure out if I’m lying. “If what you said is true, how about you prove it.”

“I should be the one telling you that, Knox, you’re the one asking for my mate.”

“Fine, I’ve marked her,” he smirked.

His answer made me growl loudly, Ryder, who retreated to the back of my mind, came out. My nails elongated, I could feel my fangs poking at my mouth. Ryder took a step toward Knox while I focused on not shifting.

‘Damn it, Ryder! You can’t attack him now!’ I screamed, but he wasn’t having any of that. Ryder wanted to cut off the vampire’s head for thinking about taking his mate.

The vampires moved in front of Knox, who was sitting calmly like he wasn’t concerned about me being a threat. I got halfway towards him when the door busted open, I perceived her scent before I saw her. Delaney.

My head whipped to the side, shocked to see her gaping at me, “Laney?”

” Delaney?” Knox said at the same time.

I realize my claws and fangs were still out, so I retracted them and took a step toward her. Her glare alone made me pause, she must be mad at me for handcuffing her today. How the hell did she escape in the first place, anyway?

Knox stood and sauntered to her, “Hello, dear Delaney.”

I growled, dear?

Her eyes widened, “Knox.”

I felt better, hearing the anger in her voice. ‘Good, at least, I’m not the only one she’s mad at’ I thought marching towards her. We both stood before her, not trusting each other for being near her. Knox glared at me as I took Delaney’s small hand in mine.

“What are you doing here, Laney?”

“I…”

Before she could speak, Knox grabbed her other hand, “We are leaving.”

Oh, hell no!
