Mated To The Alpha Kings

It was Rakel who took my hand in his “You can’t do that, Laney.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s dangerous out there, you know about our kind, and I’m sure our kind knows about you. Now, if they find out you have two mates, you’ll be targeted by our enemies.”

Knox nodded in agreement.

I slowly withdrew my hands from his, “I wasn’t asking Rakel, I really want to leave. I can’t do this, you guys are too overprotective, too demanding, you expect me to do whatever you want…but I never get to do what I want. I can’t live that kind of life… I can’t.” my voice wavered slightly, but I won’t back down from my decision. I’m exhausted from guys demanding things of me.

I felt Knox and Rakel’s eyes piercing into my back as I ambled to Asher, “Will you… Can you please take me home?”

He glanced behind me and smirked “Sure thing sweetheart but not today, we will leave first thing tomorrow. You need to nap a little, can’t have you fainting on the way, okay?”

I nod.

He was about to wrap his hands around me when Rakel appeared out of nowhere and picked me up, “He’s right, let’s go sleep for the night. We’d continue this conversation tomorrow.”

However, before he could take a step forward, Knox used his vampire speed, stopping Rakel’s movement.

“Where do you think you’re taking, my mate? She sleeps with me.”

Rakel smirked “Why? I don’t trust my mate with you, so she sleeps with me. It’s not as if we haven’t slept on the same bed before.”

“What?” Knox glanced at me, obviously, shocked.

“That’s right, we’ve been sleeping on the same bed since the night I saved her. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind spending another night with me.”

My face reddened from embarrassment. Seriously? Why is he shamelessly lying about that? He only slept on my bed once.

Just as Knox was about to speak, Asher interrupted them by scooping me away from Rakel’s arms “She won’t be staying with either of you, she sleeps with me.” without waiting for them to comment, he strolled out of the guesthouse with me in his arms.

“What are you doing Asher?” I asked when we arrived at his home.

He smirked “Having fun? Did you see the look on their faces?”

I giggled “Yeah, they deserved it. Thank you, Asher.”

He smiled “No worries sweetheart.” he kissed my forehead “I will see you tomorrow morning.”

“Ready?”

I nodded.

“Good, let’s go.” Asher opened the passenger door for me and I got in. You’d think werewolves don’t use cars, but I was surprised to see one this morning. When I asked Asher about it, he laughed “Of, course we do drive cars, it’s just uncomfortable being stuck in a rounded iron for hours. It’s much better when we shift and travel in our wolf form than cars,” was his reply.

This morning felt so weird, I haven’t seen Knox or Rakel, I wonder if they’re mad at me for wanting to leave them. I wouldn’t let that change my decision even if they are, though, I will go home and pretend none of this ever happened. Like I never met them, I will pretend it’s all part of a dream. It’s better than choosing between the two of them.

Asher was about to shut the door after me when we sensed it. A movement whoosh by quickly startling both Asher and me, the next instant, we saw Knox standing before me. My heart flutters softly at his presence, but I tried my best to hide it. His silvery blonde hair hung loose on his shoulder which caused my fingers to itch, I painfully want to feel the soft locks while running my fingers through them, I clenched my fist to stop myself from doing that.

“Hello, dear Delaney,” he whispered, taking my hand in his. He leans down and pressed his lips lightly behind my hand. My breath hitched as his lips met my skin, as usual, butterflies began to dance in my tummy and I couldn’t help but gulp.

“Knox.” I wanted to pull my hand away from his, but he held it In a tight grip. His lips trailed up softly on my skin, stopping at the spot where the marks were from being chained. He then licked the red spot over and over again, he took my second hand and gave it the same treatment. After a while, he stopped and straightened, “I wanted to do that last night but couldn’t because of him.” he enunciated the ‘him’ to allow me to know he’s talking about Rakel.

I stared at my hand, amazed to see the red marks gone. It was as if there was no wound there in the first place. “Thank you.”

He shrugs “That is my apology for almost killing you.”

It was weird speaking with him like this, I found it hard coming up with what to say, especially when he’s acting all nice. That wasn’t the first impression I got from him. I couldn’t but think if this is another trick of his to make me let my guard, so he’d do something.

“Do you accept my apology?”

I nodded again. His lips curled up in what seems to be a smile, I could only gape at him because a small action like that made him look hot– hotter than he usually is.

Knox smirked, ‘So you think I’m hot?’ I heard in my head and gasp.

“What? N-no I didn’t…”

‘You just did, you don’t have to be ashamed, I’m glad my mate appreciates my looks. By the way, you also look hot.’ he compliments in my head again, and I flushed.

He took my hand and kissed it again ‘See you soon dear Delaney, think of my hotness alone not the wolves.’ with that, he left like he appeared, in a whoosh.

Humph, think of his hotness?

I can’t believe he got into my head the moment I was distracted. I jump when Asher shut the door, I totally forgot he was standing there in the first place, “Are you good?”

I put on my seatbelt and nodded. Asher didn’t say any other thing, I didn’t mind the silence too because I was anxious to see Cassie. I wanted to see how she’s faring. As the car left the pack, I glanced back the last time and was disappointed when I didn’t see any sign of Rakel.

Rakel’s POV

Knox and I remained standing in the same spot after Asher carried Delaney out of the guesthouse. Ryder growled in anger when he saw she didn’t refuse him. I couldn’t help but reach out to Asher through the mind link, ‘If you fucking touch her Asher, I will peel your skin off your fucking bones’

He chuckles ‘I will try to be on my best behavior cousin… Only if your mate keeps her hands to herself.’

That made me took a step to go after him, but the female vampire appeared in front of me with an exasperated look. I raised my brows at her, “What?”

She gulps audibly, “Umm… I’m Vendetta.”

“So? Get the fuck out of my way, little vamp.”

She glared at me “If you would listen to my suggestion then one of you might win your mates’ heart but since you’re not interested…” she shrugs and began walking away.

This made Knox and I focus our attention on her, “Little vamp, what were you saying?” I asked, but she kept walking. It wasn’t until Knox called her name that she stop. I scoffed and crossed my hand, muttering “Annoying vampires” beneath my breath, I’m sure she had that by the glare she threw at me.

“Anyway, like I was saying, the only way to win your mate’s heart is by courting her, humanly,” she announced like it made sense.

Knox and I stared at her, waiting for her to elaborate. When she didn’t, I growled at her, Knox also huffed, “Do you really want me to force you to say it? What do you mean, Court her?”

Vendetta sighed “It’s exactly what it meant, by courting her, I mean, going out on a date with her, having fun with her, the way humans do, and most importantly, by not forcing her to do things she doesn’t want to, especially sex!” she glanced my way when saying the ‘sex’ part.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I scoffed, “Why would you think I forced her to have sex? What about him?” I nod towards the silent vampire who I just found out he’s my mate’s rival. I still get annoyed by the idea of him being my mate’s mate. Why did the moon goddess do this to me? Why would she pair my mate with someone else? Maybe my bad deeds are catching up with me, this is just a little punishment from her in which I’ll win.

“Because you are a wolf, we all know werewolves have little to no self-control.” this drew growls from all the werewolves in the room.

“Vendetta…”

“Fine! That’s all I have to say, if you manage to court her in the right way…not your usual possessive and dominated way, she will fall in love with one of you.”

“How do you suppose we humanly court her?” Knox asked, hating the idea as I do.

Vendetta shrugged, “I don’t know.”

Ten cleared his throat “I don’t think Vendetta’s Idea is good enough.” he says, drawing everyone’s attention to him “how about you all share her like having a threesome or something…”

“Hell no!”

“Never!”

“I ain’t going to share my mate with anyone!” Knox and I spat, then resumed our staring contest.

Ten shrugged, “Oh well, I tried at least.”

Later that day, before the vampires left, Knox and I had a separate conversation – one that didn’t include my men or his men. He wanted to set his rules, while I wanted the same thing.

“We would be spending two days with her each, once that is up, the other party will get to spend his.”

I agreed and stated, “You have already marked her, so I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t mark her.”

He was silent again, I know he’s struggling with this particular rule, but I don’t care. At first, I felt it would be better not to mark her till his mark wears off, but now I know it wouldn’t wear off anytime soon because she’s also his mate. It only wears off when they aren’t mates. However, I don’t care about that now, Delaney will become closer to me if I mark her, we would both have a special bond between us which will make it hard for her to reject me.

“Fine! But don’t hurt her while you’re at it. You should stop calling her ‘my mate’, she isn’t just yours, but ours.”

My wolf and I didn’t agree with that one, I hated it, but I know I had to accept to make this work.

“Agreed, you must not feed on her in whatsoever way, my mate isn’t your food. Go look for something else.”

Knox shook his head, “Our mate. And I can’t, I can’t feed on anyone else except her since she’s now my mate… Uh, our mate.”

I gritted my teeth, “If that’s the case, you will only feed not have sex.” I’ve heard that some vamps usually engage in sexual activity during feeding, the last thing I want for him to take advantage of is Delaney.

“I will try.” we both agreed on our terms before he left, saying something about having a problem in his kingdom.

The next morning, I called Ten, Kieth, and Chris to my office. They arrived, gazing at me expectantly.

I stopped pacing in my room and faced them, “Tell me how to court a girl.”

There was silence, then… “What?”

“Tell me how to win my mates’ heart, I can’t her choose that vampire. She must choose me!”

They all gaze at me like I’ve lost it “What?” I barked in annoyance.

“You are someone who has lots of females swarming all over you, so why would you ask us? We should be the one asking you.” Kieth muttered.

I nodded “Exactly. They are the ones coming at me, they’re always there when I need a good fuck but I’ve never chased over a girl. I don’t know shit about what to do except to fuck them.”

They all stared at me then busted out laughing. I grit my teeth “Are you going to say it or do you want me to fucking force you.”

Ten cleared his throat “I have no idea how to win a girl’s heart, they also come at me.” he shrugs.

I faced Keith “How about you? You have a mate, how did you win her damn heart .”

“Uhh… My mate is a wolf, not a human, I didn’t need to do much, she pretty much fell in love with me on the first day.”

I groaned, why can’t Delaney fall for me on the first day? It would have made all this much easier damn it!

“Oh, I know” Chris started “didn’t Vendetta say it? Be nice to her not your umm, usual possessive self then you take her out.”

“To where?”

“To watch a movie, I’ve heard humans love watching horror movies.”

I patted his back and stormed back to my house which felt empty since Delaney isn’t here anymore. I now know what to do, the only thing left is to shower and meet up with her. Asher already sends me a message that they have arrived. Maybe I should give her a day to herself, right? That way, she wouldn’t be that mad at me. She would miss me instead.
