Mated To The Alpha Kings

Cassie’s POV ~

I had the nicest dream ever that night. I dreamt an angel watched over me throughout the night, keeping me safe. The notion left me protected, never felt that safe. And when he kissed me, I felt like I’m on cloud nine; I didn’t want it to stop. His lips moved from my mouth to my forehead.

Though, as his lips touched my skin, I frown. Why does it feel so real? Just as I was about to shrug off the feeling, I heard the door banged up. Immediately, my eyes snapped open, and I stared at the ceiling for a while. After a few minutes, everything that happened last night flooded into my head, causing me to curse. “Crap! It’s not a dream!”

His smell lingered in the air. Not only that, the slight ache in the neck and me, lying naked on the bed, proofs I’m not dreaming! Getting up, I made my way to the bathroom – wincing at the soreness I felt between my legs. I glanced at myself in the mirror and couldn’t help but curse at Asher, beholding the bruises all over my body. To top it off, there was a strange mark on my neck. I remember him biting me last night like a dog. ‘ Bastard! What does he take me for? A chewing toy?’ I fumed.

Ugh, what I’ve been avoiding finally happened. What should I do now? I knew Asher was trouble the moment I saw him. Trouble in the sense that he was interested in me! Yeah, I know that isn’t a bad thing, but he’s the kind of guy that wants commitment – something that I do not want. That’s why I shun him whenever I’m in his presence. It s that or I pick unnecessary fights with him. I don’t know why, but there’s always a pull between us whenever we are close. I can’t explain it, it makes me want to jump his skin whenever see him, and that feeling scare’s the hell out of me. Gosh, I can’t believe I melted under his touch without resisting. What was I thinking?

And he took off after what happened, he just left! That should be a good thing, right? But why do I feel mad? Was that a nightstand? It should be because I don’t sleep with a person twice. Damn it! That’s why I hate relationships. It simply messes with my head. Laney needs to hear this. She will know what to do in this situation. I took a quick bath, then rushed to my get my phone.

There were ten missed calls from Delaney and a text. Did something happen?

I unlocked my phone and clicked on the message only to see… “So sorry, Cassie, I couldn’t tell you this in person, but something came up. I had to leave with their Knox. Don’t worry about me, you’ll understand everything soon enough. Will come visit when I can! Love you.”

I stared at the text for a long time not believing my eyes. She left? How could she go without telling me? Is it because of her boyfriends? I should be happy for her, but I can’t bring myself to.

Ahh, the day just keeps getting better and better. What more could go wrong?

At that moment, someone knocked on the door. My first conclusion was, Asher is back. Bastard, I thought he only knows how to break doors down like he did yesterday why don’t he just smash it down today. Huffing, I decided to let him stay there. His face is the last thing I want to see now.

“Cassie? I know you’re in there. Open up.”

I frown. Avaitia?

What is that weird girl doing here?

I opened the door. This time I didn’t let them in, rather I stared at both her and Celine with raised eyebrows. There’s no way I’ll trust them, not when they have vibes similar to that of Asher and Delaney’s boyfriends.

“What do you want?” I asked coldly.

They didn’t seem to mind my rudeness, rather, they smiled. “Hi Cassie, we brought cupcakes for you and Delaney. We actually came by last night, but umm… you seemed busy…”

My face flushed pink from embarrassment. If so, they heard Asher and me?

My tummy growled the sight of the cakes. “Delaney no longer lives here.” I say, taking the box from Avaitia. Yup, there’s no way I’ll reject food just because of them. “She left with her boyfriends!” I spat, walking into the house to drop the cakes.

They followed me in, “Wow, that’s great.”

I didn’t miss the look on their faces. They seemed excited instead of surprised. Huh, something is definitely not right here. A An insane idea formed in my head. I went into the kitchen, grabbed a knife. I need to confirm if I’m going crazy or not. After grabbing the blade, I sauntered up to them while hiding the knife behind me. Just when I was about to cut Avaitia, she shifted to the side, causing the knife to graze Celine’s hand.

She hissed, whirling to face me. “What the fuck.”

I didn’t know what I was expecting to see, but I was a little disappointed, seeing the blood rolling down her hand.

“I… I’m sorry, I thought…” I thought she would turn into something like I saw Asher do the other night. I wanted to say, but won’t they think I’m crazy?

Shaking my head, I went to the door and opened it, “Please leave.”

They glance at each other before walking out. A long sigh escaped my lips after they left, I leaned on the door while thinking. What’s the point of staying here when Laney is no longer living here?

I know Asher will definitely return. However, I’m not ready for what he wants. I’m not the one for him. The best option now is to leave.

Nodding at the thought, I went to pack my things. A few minutes later, I walked out of the house with my bags. Just as locked the door, about calling for my driver, a man who seems to be in his late thirties approached me.

“Hi, excuse me.”

I lifted my brows, “Yes?”

“Sorry, is there anyone by the name, Delaney, living here?”

“Who’s asking?”

“Oh, I’m Max. Delaney’s father.”

I blinked. Laney has a dad? How come she never told me? “Uh… She’s my friend. However, she doesn’t stay here anymore.”

Max face fell. He looks like he’d cry at any minute.

“I lost her at the age of ten and have been tracking ever since. Now, that I finally got an inkling of her whereabouts, she’s no longer here. Please tell me where she is. My poor daughter, I’m sure she wouldn’t recognize me anymore.” he cried, “worse, she’d think she has no family.”

“I’m sorry, sir, I do not know where she’s staying. I can call her…”

A glint flashed in his eyes. Is it excitement? He quickly stopped me before I could call her. “No, don’t. How about you give me her number? I’ll call her myself. Please…”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Something told me not to give it to him, but I can’t keep a father from his child, right? And he looks so pitiful. My heart clenched. I don’t think there’s any harm in giving it to him. Besides, Delaney will be elated after knowing she has a dad. With that thought, I gave him her number.

However, I didn’t notice the evil smile on the man’s face as he left, nor see as his eyes narrowed dangerously. I could only shrug off the feeling I had at that moment and phoned my driver to come pick me up.
