Mated To The Alpha Kings

I open the door only to freeze in surprise upon seeing Knox! Why the hell is he here instead of that lady?

My heart began racing, thinking he might be here for my decision when my time isn’t up yet. He gave me one week, there are two days left, so why did come?

“Aren’t you going to welcome me in, dear Delaney?”

Too shocked to say anything, I silently open the door and stepped aside. My mind began reeling with excuses I could come up with if he brings up the topic. I need to come up with a reasonable lie, something that can delay him. Did vendetta say something about his behaviour different towards me? I can use that as an advantage to get out of this. As I thought of all this, I made sure my walls were tightly shut though, I’m not sure whether it’ll have any effect on him. Vendetta said powerful and ancient vampires could still hear your thoughts no matter how thick your walls are.

The thought made me wonder how old Knox is, he can’t be an ancient vamp, is he? He looks like he’s in his early thirties, I guess.

He took two steps inside, paused, and began sniffing the air.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“What are you doing?” I asked, watching him. Something clicked in my mind making me flush in embarrassment, jeez can this day get any more worst? He’s perceiving my arousal! I didn’t wash up before coming to open the door!

An evil smirk etches its way on his cute yet evil face, “Wow Delaney, did I interrupt you by coming here? Tell me what you were doing just now.”

“Nothing!” I squeaked. I’m sure my face had to flush an even brighter shade of red.

He took a step toward me, “Really? Then why can I perceive your arousal, don’t tell me you were touching your-”

“Shut up! Tell me why you came here!” I cut him off, moving far away from him as possible.

“You’re sure you weren’t playing with your clit? Don’t tell me I missed all the fun!”

An evil gleam appeared in his eyes, I knew at that instant I wouldn’t like what he was going to do next.

“Don’t…”

The next minute, he grabbed my hand before I could speak, he hauled me over his shoulder in a caveman-style using his vampire speed, he took me to my room then he dumps me on the bed. He inhales deeply, and for an instant, his eyes change colour to red before going to their usual grey ones.

“Do you know the second thing every vampire likes apart from blood?”

I shook my head, wondering what he was talking about.

“Sex. Though werewolves are said to be horny creatures, vampires are almost alike. Almost.”

“Werewolf?” Do they also exist?

“Yes, Delaney. They do exist” he answers reading my mind.

I shot him a glare and hurriedly tightened my walls, making him chuckle “You’re adjusting quicker than I thought, Vendetta must be teaching you well. Now, let’s go back to our discussion, shall we?”

I started scrambling backwards on my hands and ass trying to get away from him as he began funnily staring at me. His eyes were constantly changing from grey to red as if he was fighting himself for control. My instincts are already telling me to run through I knew that’s impossible, I will never outrun a vampire talk more of an Alpha king.

“Why are you telling me this?”

He climbs onto the bed and stares at me “Because I want you, like- – – right now” he stated as a matter of fact.

My heart hammered against my chest, he’s not joking! Somehow my body also reacted to his statement, but I can’t let him know that. How the hell will I get out of this mess now? He must be using some kind of vampire charm on me. I thought.

I suddenly thought of something and cleared my throat, “Do vampires have special abilities?”

“Yes.”

I waited for him to elaborate, but he kept on staring at me that way.

“What abilities do you have?”

His hands suddenly move, catching my retreating body and pulling me underneath his body.

“I will tell you some other time, stop trying to change the topic, doll!” He growls warning

My eyes widened, “What- what are you doing? You haven’t told me why you’re here! My time isn’t up yet!” I said in a rush as he put his nose in the crook of my neck.

He raised his head to look at me, and his next statement left me speechless, “I’m hungry.”

My jaw dropped, “What?”

“I came here because I’m hungry, I need to feed.”

“Like – – – you want my blood? Why?”

He blinks his eyes and frowns as if no one has ever asked him such kind of question, “Well, for one reason, you’re my only chosen.”

I could only stare at him in shock, “Y-you can go choose more humans!” What the fuck?! Out of all the humans he has, why the hell will he come to me? I haven’t made my decision yet!

He shook his head, “It doesn’t work that way, you’ll be the only one to attend to me till I…” He stops himself, but I already figured out what he wants to say.

My mouth opened and closed several times as its meaning left me stupefied. It doesn’t work that way, I’ll be the only one attending to him till he gets tired of me! I mean, seriously? I’ll become trash after he’s tired of me? Or he would kill me or pass me on to other vamps, as Cornelia said?

Without waiting for my reply, he deeps his head, claiming my lips in a searing kiss. I gasp at the sparks that ran through my body. Knox being the man that he is, used that opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth, deepening the kiss. I’ve kissed a few guys before just to see if I’ll have any sparks from them, but nothing compared to what I feel now as he kisses me.

My heart was beating rapidly before suddenly starting to thump erratically inside my chest, for a moment, I thought it was going to explode.

His hands moved down my body stopping at my thighs, he grabbed my ass meshing my body tightly to his and began grinding his length against my core. I tried to stop my body from feeling this, damn it, he’s a vampire! But my body doesn’t seem to be in control of itself as I arched my back into him.

I was so lost in him that I didn’t know when his mouth moved to my neck until I felt a sting from his fangs.

I tensed instantly, “Knox, no… please don’t.” I whimpered, panicking.

My arousal was long forgotten, the only thing I wanted was to get the hell away from him as fast as possible. I tried to shove him off, but he is like a brick wall that wouldn’t budge.

I couldn’t help but gasp as his eyes met mine because of his eyes! Instead of his usual grey, the red eyes stood out, which was shining brightly. I knew at that moment that his control has slipped. He would feed on me without listening to my pleas.

Gosh, I’m such a fool, he’s been trying to distract me just to feed! I stupidly gave in to the strange feeling of my body being close to his – enjoying the feel of a male for the first time in my life that I didn’t think for a moment. He said it himself, vampires love sex, he was using my half aroused state to take advantage of me! I realize then that Knox isn’t a good person, not that any vampire is good, but for a moment, I wanted to believe he isn’t as bad as I thought according to what Vendetta said. I thought for a moment that she was right, but she was not. It’s all a ploy to get what he wants. I didn’t have time to regret it, since he already sank his fangs into my neck. Pain tore through me, I couldn’t help but cry out.

I didn’t struggle this time, I remained still accepting my fate. I could only whimper as he kept drinking my blood. Maybe dying here might be a good thing for me, I wouldn’t have to suffer in this hellhole as a vampire meal or continue living a life of fear that I might die miserably in the hands of vampires one day.

Tears streamed down my face as his teeth sank in further, I could feel myself getting weak by the moment, yet he didn’t stop. Darkness clouded behind my eyes, I couldn’t stay conscious anymore, so I gave into the darkness.

My eyes fluttered open to see Katrina watching me with concern written all over her face.

“You’re awake! Thank goodness, you gave me a scare, you know.”

I tried to turn my head searching for Knox, only to cry out at the pain in my neck.

“No, remain still Delaney. You’ll hurt yourself!”

I took in a shaky breath and met her gaze, “Where is he?”

I didn’t have to mention his name because she knows who I’m talking about. Her eyes dropped in guilt, “He’s gone.”

I scoffed. Yeah, right. Why won’t he leave? He’s already gotten what he came for, If I had known I’ll end up in this godforsaken vampire kingdom, I wouldn’t have followed Cassie to the club that night. Just thinking about her sent a pang to my heart, I miss her so much. Soon, Cassie, I’ll be out of here, it’s just a matter of time. Speaking of time, I peered at Katrina, “How long have I been out?”

“Three days.”

My eyes widened, If that’s the case, then my two days are up! The darn bastard didn’t want me to make any decision in the first place, he already made it for me. If three days have passed, then how would I know if that lady came here? I can’t ask Katrina about it, or she’d get suspicious.

“Delaney…” Katrina started looking unsure of what she wants to say, “you know it has never been like this with him right? Don’t give me that look, I’m not saying what he did was right, he has never loosed control with anyone before…”

“Save it, Katrina, nothing you say can make up for what he did.”

She sighed, “Vendetta said she’d stop by when you wake up.”

“I’m not interested in seeing anyone, Kat.” If Etta comes, she’d also try to convince me he did nothing wrong, he lost his fucking control.

I tried to get up but wince at the slight pain in my neck, my body felt frail and I find it hard sitting upright.

“You can’t get up, your body needs food to replenish your energy,” Katrina said, pushing me back down.

I sigh in defeat, “Can you help me run the bath, please? I’ll eat after shower.”

She agreed, help me run the bath, she wanted to assist me in the bathroom, but I refused. I can bear to have anyone touching me right now, not after what happened with Knox. I still can’t believe my body is reacting to a male’s touch when it hasn’t my whole life.

As soon as she left the room, I stared at myself in the mirror. I realize my neck was bandaged. Is it that bad?

With a shaky hand, I untied the bandage and gaped at my neck in shock. The area he bit me wasn’t healing at all as it’s supposed to, it also looks nasty instead of the usual creamy white skin, it’s in a shade of purple and red!

I grit my teeth in resentment, the more I stared at it my anger fueled at him!

My anger still didn’t disperse after my short bath, I was thinking of ways to get back at him. Holy water and garlic don’t work on vampires, I would have used it against him. All my energy drained as I dragged myself to the room, I couldn’t even put on my cloth, so I lay on the bed, naked till Katrina came in.

“Oh heavens! You should have called for me.” She quickly dressed me up and feed me. Tears glistened in my eyes as she took care of me, she reminds me of mom.

“Thank you,” I whispered after eating.

She gave me a sad smile, “It’s okay dear, I hope everything works out well in your favour. I’ll leave you to your rest now, press this button if you need me.”

After she left, I was about to sleep when I felt a presence in my room. I slowed my breathing pretending to be asleep because I’m not ready to see anyone, especially Knox.

“I know you’re awake, Delaney.”

That voice… My eyes snapped open to see the lady from the shopping mall!

“I’m sorry for not coming earlier, something came up.”

Tears began streaming down my face, “You came! You’re really here!” Now I have hope of leaving!
