Mated To The Alpha Kings

There was silence then Ten, Rakel’s beta broke it by saying, “Luna, you are asking for war. You do realize that, don’t you? If you don’t choose between them, then there’s no way the vampire kingdom and our pack will unite.”

“Exactly! That’s impossible!” Keith, who was sitting beside him, chimed in.

I maintained my blank face even as Knox and Rakel scrutinized me. They still haven’t gotten over what I just said. They were stunned. I could feel them through the bond trying to probe into my mind, to know what I was thinking, but I didn’t give them that chance to do that. I kept my mental shield up.

Knox couldn’t hold it in again, he walked over to me and took my hand. “Tell me something, Delaney, is someone stopping you from making a choice? I can…”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“No, Knox. I’ve thought this through on my own, no one is stopping me. It’s either I have you both to myself or we end things here. I’ve made my decision, now it’s up to you guys to make yours.”

He stared down at me like he was gazing into my soul. I held my breath hopefully, thinking he will agree with me.

However, he slowly let go of my hand, averting his gaze from mine. The simple action broke my heart in a thousand pieces. I felt shattered.

I glanced at Rakel. He, too, lowered his gaze. ‘They chose their enmity over me.’ The thought made my eyes glisten with tears. Gosh, I’ve been so stupid to think they actually cared about me, this shows that they were only after my body, they wanted to make me their toy, they wanted to own me… make me their mate, that’s all.

And Rakel… wasn’t he the one who said he would always love me even though I choose Knox? Was he telling a lie just to make me choose him? Did he even love me at all?

Taking a deep breath, I decided to leave before I break down in front of them. I can’t let them see me cry. With that thought in mind, I grabbed my purse and headed for the door.

“Laney? Where are you going?” Rakel asked.

“Home.”

“You can’t go home now, it’s pretty late.”

I scoffed. “Watch me.”

I arrived at the door and was about to turn the knobs when I felt something whooshed past me, the next moment I saw Knox blocking my way.

“You can’t leave Delaney. Adams will show you to your room.”

As if on cue, Adams came out of nowhere, “This way, Miss…”

Knox raised his eyebrows while I glared at him. In the end, my shoulders dropped in defeat. I stormed past him towards the stairs – Adams following behind me.

“Laney…”

I ignored them, at the same time I let the tears fall freely. They don’t realize this, but I was deeply hurt by their actions. Does that mean that the grudge between them is better than I am? They can’t even overlook it for me.

They could have at least agreed with my decision, then they will think of how to sort out their differences, but they didn’t. They openly chose that over me.

No, I can’t blame anyone but myself. I should have known that all men are the same. What’s the difference between them and my stepdad? I foolishly fell with not one but two of them. Funny how I never wanted anything to do with any man before, they disgust me. But now I eagerly want them to have me. Love is crazy, makes people do stupid things, people like me.

“Ms. Delaney, we are here.”

Adam’s voice pulled me out of my reverie. I wiped off my tears, realizing we are standing in front of a door. I thanked him, walked into the room, and locked the door behind me. I could hear them arguing downstairs, but I tuned them out.

I don’t care anymore, they can argue all they want, but I won’t change my mind. If they really care about me, they will sort out their problem or else, I will truly end things with them. Just the thought of doing that brought tears to my eyes. I rubbed on my chest as if it’d help reduce the pain in my heart.

Feeling emotionally drained, I walked to the queen size bed and slept off with my dress.

The moment I slept off, I found myself in a strange place. My face furrowed as I glanced around. Where am I? Is this a dream?

The place looked void, like an endless cave. It looked like no one has ever been in years. If I hadn’t stayed with supernaturals, I would have been afraid by now because the place has a creepy vibe attached to it. But then, what more could be scarier than my Alpha wolf and vampire?

Ahh, when did I start calling them my Alphas?

Shaking my head, I decided to walk in deeper. “Hello?”

“Anyone here?”

My words were met with silence. I wandered deeper into the woods for a long time before I started hearing voices. A whimper.

I followed the voices soon, I found the source of whom it’s coming from. A man and a pregnant woman who seems to be in labor. I rushed over to them, hoping I could be of help, but they didn’t seem to notice me. However, I noticed they were the most beautiful couple I’ve ever seen. Although the woman looked stress, her forehead covered with sweat, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone as beautiful as her. Everything about her seemed perfect, from her jade skin, her sapphire eyes, her long dark hair… everything! I know saying someone looks perfect may seem a little excessive, but that’s the only thing that could describe her.

And the man looks well-built, with pretty sea blue eyes which were gazing at her with so much love. The most beautiful thing is that I could see the love he has for her only from that look, then there was also concern and fear in his eyes.

The man held the woman’s hand tightly, “Don’t give up, my love, you can do this. We will do this together.”

“I can’t. I feel so tired, I want to sleep.”

“Not now, my love, you need to push. Just give it one more try, okay?”

She nodded weakly. “Damon? What will we do if they find out about her? You need to protect her, Damon.”

“I will, with my life. Now, are you ready?”

She nodded and…

My eyes flew open right at that moment, discovering its morning already. Feeling disoriented for a moment, I glanced around, seeing that I’m in a different room…my dress was still on. Everything that happened last night came flooding into my head, how heartbroken I was…

My heart clenched all over again in pain as I’m thinking about it. And then the dream… What was that all about? Who was this couple? Why did they appear in my dreams?

Even with all these questions running through my mind, I wanted to know more about them.

It was past 10 am I decided to leave the bed, I showered, afterward, I found some clothes in the wardrobe. Knox actually filled it with many clothes, which got me thinking. Has he planned out our future before this happened! Was he expecting me to choose him?

My tummy growled loudly for the third time that morning, causing me to sigh. I don’t think I can avoid them anymore, I will have to go to the kitchen.

Everyone was seated in the living room when I walked in. Their conversation halted, their eyes fixated on me. Rakel gook a step towards me only to stop upon seeing my glare. That’s right, I wasn’t in any mood to talk to them.

I glared daggers at both him and Knox before striding to the kitchen. Recalling how they both rejected me made me feel furious all of a sudden. I just have to eat, and leave. By leaving, I mean, leaving them for good. I’ll go back to my usual lifestyle of no-dating-guys.

After making the easiest food in the kitchen which was noodles, I glanced back at the crowd only to see them staring at me with curious eyes. “What!” I barked.

They resumed their conversation, but I have a feeling they were still monitoring my movement, especially those two.

As I was eating, the strangest thing happened to me. One minute I was furious at my mates, the next moment I felt my body heating up. I fanned myself with my hand and tried to continue eating.

However, as time goes on, it became worse. My eyes kept going back and forth between Knox and Rakel – my anger, already forgotten. It was as if I couldn’t take my eyes of the two. And even if I did, it will somehow go back to them. Goodness, don’t tell me my addiction is happening again? No, it can’t be, it has never been like this.

Rakel turned in my direction, and my breath caught. At that moment, I wanted his hands on me. I wanted him to sink his fang in my neck. Wetness pooled between my legs, my breast ached. Goodness! What is happening to me?

I heard movement from the living room, but I couldn’t bring myself to care. I also didn’t notice how all the wolves in the room were staring at me – their fangs elongated just like Rakel’s. The only people I wanted were my mates. My Alphas.

“Rakel…” I whimpered.

“Fuck!” he cussed, rushing towards me.

At the same time, Knox said, “She’s going into heat!”
