Mated To The Alpha Kings

~ Knox POV ~

To say I’m furious will be an understatement. In fact, my emotions are all over the place. One, I want to find that stepdad of hers and kill him with my bare hands. No, death will be too easy for him after what he has done to my Laney. I’ll make sure he’s passed to my people, they will feed and do whatever they want with him, without killing him. He will pray for death.

Two, I anticipated that Rakel will mark her, but I never thought it would be sooner rather than later. The worse part is that she also marked him! And that annoying werewolf was rubbing it on my face. Jealousy isn’t enough to decipher what I’m feeling right now.

I never thought that a day like this will come where an ancient vampire, like myself, will feel jealous. I just can’t believe it. I felt like clawing out the mark on his neck, so we’ll see what he would use to brag with. Nonetheless, I know Delaney wouldn’t like that, so I left peacefully, pretending I wasn’t affected by it.

Lastly, my fangs were elongated, wanting to kill those hunters. I want to shred their flesh for even having thought of kidnapping her, but I kept calm. It’s not time for that yet, we need to convince Laney into coming with one of us, that way, it will be safer and easier killing the hunters. We can’t risk the human knowing about us or getting involved in our fights. It will only end in disaster.

That morning, I was on my way back to my kingdom when Delaney lowered her mental shields. She wanted to speak with me, but I wasn’t in the mood for that. I cringed when I felt her emotions, she felt guilty for not marking me, then worried about my silence. I smiled, at least she’s worried. That should mean something, right?

I stayed locked in my room throughout the day, feeling down. I couldn’t help but think about what I’ll do if she rejects me. Vendetta strolled into my chambers huffing at the sight of me. “She hasn’t even rejected you yet, and you are sulking.”

“She marked him!”

“So? Does that mean she doesn’t have any feelings for you? Who knows, maybe that just happened accidentally.”

I shook my head, “You don’t get it. She, marking him automatically makes their bond stronger than mine, it would be extremely difficult for her to reject him. How on earth do you expect me to take this lightly?”

“I think this is the right time to make her fall in love with you, that is if she hasn’t. The Alpha Wolf must have let his guard down, thinking she has already chosen him. So instead of sulking, you need to up your game. Anyway, I came here to tell you that the minor vampires who fled in your absence have been subdued. Although they might be lying low, for the time being, I don’t think they’ve given up.”

I glanced up at her in surprise. “You mean…”

“Yes, It’s exactly as you’ve thought. Someone here wants to split up your kingdom. They are using this to cause internal strive among your people. It’s just a matter of time before it all erupts.”

I let out a loud groan. Why did this choose now of all time to happen? This is simply telling me to choose between my kingdom or the fight for my mate.

“We can’t let that happen Vendetta, we need to gather those on our side, then weed the rest out before they become bold.” If they win numerous people in the vampire kingdom to their side and want to attack the humans… even I wouldn’t be able to stop them. I’m afraid, history might repeat itself.

“I agree with you, Alpha King. However, I understand your situation right now, I’ll help you out with matters concerning this while you work on winning your mate quickly. We don’t have much time Alpha. I will need your written consent to do this, so your people wouldn’t doubt my words.”

I nodded in agreement.

Once she left, I thought about what I’ll do to make Delaney choose me. What If I compel her to mark me? How will she react when she realizes what I’ve done?

My eyes shut on their own. No, I can’t do that. Though I’ve always been cruel in the past, I can’t show that side of me to her… At least not now. Sooner or later, she would now realize what kind of monster I am, she too will have to become one, if she becomes my queen. I just hope she won’t hate me when that time comes.

I was still mauling over this matter when I felt her through the bond for the second time that day. This time, I didn’t feel any sign of guilt or worry, she was just there. It’s as if she’s welcoming me into her mind – something she has never done before. I noticed she didn’t fully grant me access to her mind, there are some memories and some things she shielded from me.

My brows furrowed slightly in suspicion. What is this little vixen of mine up to? I concealed my presence in her mind and hovered there, waiting. I waited for what seemed to be an hour when I didn’t feel any sign of her, I decided to leave her mind.

Unexpectedly, just when I was about to leave I felt something that left me stupefied. No, saw something. Her thoughts. I don’t know how she did it, but I suddenly saw her naked in bed.

I jumped out from her mind, blinking rapidly. What just happened? Did I just see her naked, or am I imagining things? I calmed my breathing and was about diving into her mind when she did the opposite.

She began sending her thoughts into my mind, not just any thoughts, but erotic ones. Her darkest desires. What she wanted at that moment. My body reacted when I saw my face in between her legs, eating her like a madman. Fuck! How did she know I’ve always wanted to do that?

My groin hardened more when her thoughts shifted, this time she was kneeling in my front, stark naked. Her hand went to my pants, unzipped them. I waited for her to pull it down, but she paused and glanced up at me, looking submissive as ever. Hell! Is she trying to kill me?

I fisted the sheets in my hand, took a deep breath, and said through the bond. ‘What do you think you’re doing, Delaney?’

She didn’t reply. Rather, more images came.

‘Delaney!’ I gritted out, ‘Where are you now?’

She giggled. ‘Knox? You are finally here?’

I groaned. She didn’t even know I was there? Wait, why does she seem, different?

Before I could answer, another image of her riding me, hard, flashed in my mind. The scene made my fangs lengthen, it made my inner beast surface, It made me want to mate with her right then, and there.

‘Laney, stop this.’ My shaft was so hard that it’s becoming unbearable and uncomfortable.

I felt her excitement through the bond. ‘Knox, are you mad now?’

My jaw dropped. What kind of question is that? I noticed her words were slurry as if she’s… My eyes widened, I instantly got up from the bed.

‘Laney, are you drunk?’

‘Maybe…’

I facepalmed not knowing if I should laugh or cry at her reply. This can’t be happening. ‘Where are you now?’

My question was met with silence. She sent another image of her, touching herself instead of answering. I snorted. If vampires usually get headaches, I’m sure I would have gotten a migraine by now.

Delaney is naturally stubborn, what else did I expect of her when she’s drunk? For her to give me a straight response?

‘Laney, where the fuck are you!’ I yelled. I was already feeling anxious and antsy at the thought of her in some club. Those bastard human males will take advantage of her.

‘With Asher.’ With that, she shut me out of her mind.

Oh, hell no. Asher? Isn’t that the same guy who was flirting with her in our presence back in Rakel’s pack?

I hate using my powers just so I could leave people gazing at what kind of powers I have, but after hearing Delaney’s reply, I teleported to her house immediately. There was only one thing in my mind at that moment, which is… If he dares touch her, I will personally chop off his hands. Yup, you guessed right. Not only am I mad at that moment, but I am also furious.

~ Vendetta’s POV ~

Outside Knox’s room, I held his written authorization with an evil grin. My plan is slowly manifesting after waiting for hundreds of years.

That’s right, I began working for Knox just so I could gain his trust. He never yielded for once, It was as if I never existed, my efforts were futile.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The day I’ve been waiting for suddenly came, the day when Delaney arrived in this kingdom. She made everything easier for me. My smile grew bigger thinking about how she has greatly helped.

Now, after waiting for so long, the time is finally here. Knox, get ready… your days as an Alpha King are numbered. Soon, everything will be mine. Everything, including you.
