Mated To The Alpha Kings

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 has already sent 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.

Delaney’s POV

The ride home was long, I don’t know how long Asher drove, we stopped occasionally to rest and also for snacks, at some point, I slept off. I wonder why Asher won’t book a flight if the journey will be this far, he immediately declined the topic the moment I brought it up. A tap on my show woke me up, “Hey, we are here.”

My eyes fluttered open to see Asher hovering over me, when his words registered in my head, I sat up straight immediately glancing around noting that it was already so late in the evening. Seeing my crappy house, my eyes lit up in excitement, ‘Home! I’m finally home!’ but wait, how did Asher know about it? I never mentioned it to him.

“I have my ways’ sweetheart.” he answered my unsaid question, “do you want me to come in?”

I paused, do I want to let him into my house? Definitely not, he’d see the pitiful kind of life I’m living “No need, I’ll be fine.” I answered, getting out of the car.

Asher handed a small phone into my hands, “Here, call me if something happens.”

“Hold on, you think something will happen?”

I was almost afraid to hear the answer, I’ve finally left everything to do with supernaturals, I don’t want anything to do with them again. Though something tells me It’s not the end between us, still I want a little time to myself. Asher studied my face for a while then slowly shook his head, “Nope, but just in case, don’t hesitate to call me.” with that, he pressed onto the accelerator and drove away, leaving me standing in front of my house. The area was quiet as if there were no houses around, though there are a few houses here, you’ll see many houses in town. I couldn’t afford houses in town, so I stayed here. One thing I liked about it is the solace and peace, the trees surrounding the house and also, the knowledge that it is mine. I never thought I’ll see it again, after everything I’d been through all this while. With a sigh, I stretch out my stiff body before walking into the terrace, I checked inside the vase where I usually keep my key and saw it where I left it, I used it to open the door, then lock it behind me. Just when I walk into the living room, I saw a faint light coming from my bedroom.

I frown, Is there someone here? Or did I forget to switch off the lights the last time? I thought, trudging towards my room. I held my breath as I slowly opened the door, however, I was stunned to see Cassie holding Mr. Tom’s – my cat, in her hand.

“Cassie?”

My heart clenched as she raised her head to look at me. She blinked slowly as if she can’t believe her eyes, “Laney? Is that you, or am I seeing things again?” she whispered.

Tears threatened to spill then, but I held it by taking a step forward. Gosh, it’s worse than I thought, I’ve envisioned what our meeting will be like, but I never thought I’ll find Cassie here, in my bedroom looking so lost, so thin and sad – nothing like the cheerful Cassie I knew of. Mr. Tom’s jumped from her lap as I pulled her into my arms, “Of course, Cassie, who else would it be?”

She shook her head, “No, you can’t be real, the cops concluded you are dead.” she began crying all over again.

I couldn’t hold it in anymore, the tears rolled down my face. “You are wrong Cass, I’m here. It’s me, Laney, I’m not dead.”

“I thought… I thought I would never see you again, I shouldn’t have taken you to the club in the first place. I shouldn’t have…”

“Shh…. It’s okay, I’m here now.” I remained that way, rocking her back and forth till she eventually quiets down, more like slept off. I laid her down on my bed then went to the bathroom to shower. After taking off Rakel’s t-shirt, I stared at myself in the mirror, noting how slim I’ve become, my sky-blue eyes look dull, and my hair looks so unkempt. The Mark on my neck looks so pretty on my skin, I wonder if it will ever wear off, does that mean I’m being bounded to Knox for eternity? Thinking about him now made me sigh, it’s not even a day yet and I miss them, I miss Knox’s coldness and missed the way Rakel usually tease me. My feelings for them are still messed up, I want to know if what I’m feeling is because of the bond or if they’re real. Maybe, coming home will help me figure out my feelings better. I soaked in the bathtub for an hour, then toweled off once the water got cold. I then put on a clean panty sighing in the process ‘Oh, how I missed you panty’ who would have thought that I would ever miss my pants? Not only that, but I decided to wear Rakel’s t-shirt for the night since it still held his earthy smell in it, subsequently, I got into bed with Cassie and slept off.

I was still sleeping the next day when I felt something soft on my lips, my eyes snapped open to see Cassie’s lips on mine. My eyes widened, the only thing I could think of at that moment is ‘what the hell?’ she felt my eyes and pulled back, her cheeks flushed red.

“Umm… I didn’t mean to do that… I mean, I meant to uh…”

“You’re a lesbian?”

She shook her head “No, no it’s not that…” her shoulders dropped “I’m into both sex, I’ve always been attracted to you, and seeing that you’ve never heard a boyfriend, I thought…”

I blinked slowly, she’s been attracted to me?

“Anyway, seeing you here, lying on the same bed with me, I decided to do what I’ve always wanted to do. Losing you made me realize how deep my feelings for you are, I won’t impose it on you though, I’ll understand if you don’t want me.”

Ahh…okay, so this is awkward. Your best friend confessing her feelings for you when I recently found out I have two mates.

I sat upright and forced a smile, “It’s fine, I won’t judge you for who you are Cassie.”

She smiled, “Thank you.”

“But, I’m not sure if I feel the same way…” she hugged me tightly before I could finish, “It’s fine, I’m happy to have you as a friend.”

I decided to change the topic because I was beginning to feel uncomfortable, “So, you’ve been staying here all along?”

She nodded “Yeah, I kept hoping you’ll return one day and I had to look after lazy Mr. Toms, the police gave up on the search for you, they concluded you were gone.” she starts to tear up again and I pat her back. “Anyway, what happened? Are you hurt? Whose shirt are you putting on?” she gestures towards Rakel’s shirt.

I began telling her how I got kidnapped, I left the part about Knox and Rakel being a werewolf and a Vampire because I’m sure they won’t be happy if I told anyone. I also left out many details about them being my mate and many other things. Furthermore, I only told her how two powerful billionaires were fighting over me.

“Then…do you need me to tell my dad about it? I’m sure he’d be able to investigate something. Did they hurt you?”

I shook my head, “No, they let me go, didn’t they? I’m fine.”

“So tell me, are they hot?” she wiggled her brows at me, causing me to laugh. That is Cassie for you, she must ask if they’re cute or not.

“They are fine, I guess.” I shrugged, trying hard not to think of Rakel’s fine muscles and cute face nor a certain gray-eyed vampire.

“Oh my God! You’re blushing!”

“I’m not!”

“You are! You love them!” she screamed in my ears.

I open my mouth to deny but got interrupted by the doorbell. Cass winked at me “I’ll go get it”

My brows creases after she left, love them? I can’t do that right? I have to choose between the two. I sigh, it doesn’t matter anymore, I’ve left them for good.

“Laney! You’ve got a delivery!” Cassie called out.

My brows went up. A delivery? From who? I decided to go check it out.

When I got to the door, I saw two mugs of steaming coffee, a rose, and a note.

I took the note from her only to see two words ‘Queen Delaney’

I blinked, Queen?

Cassie was grinning widely but I could still sadness in her eyes “I’m guessing it’s from one of the billionaires, I think they still want you.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I shook my head “Throw that coffee away, together with the rose.”

“What? Why? We can’t waste a good coffee!”

“Yes, you can. You are rich enough to buy coffee.”

“That isn’t enough reason to throw it!”

I shook my head and stormed into the house, my mind kept swirling around the word ‘Queen’

Knox usually calls me dear Delaney while Rakel calls me Laney. So I’m sure this isn’t from either of them. The question now is, who is it from?
