Mated To The Alpha Kings

I’ve been scrambling backwards on my hands and ass, my movement uncontrolled as fear gripped me. My heart left my body when my hand met nothing but air. That’s right, I’m already at the edge of the rooftop and I could feel myself falling, but I couldn’t bring myself to scream. It’s like my voice got stuck in my throat, I was still in an appalled state. The only thing in my mind then is… this is it, Laney, the day I will die.

I shut my eyes tightly, waiting for the impact when my body will hit the ground. However, just at the last minute, I felt hands wrapping around my waist, the next moment, I felt air whipping around me then everything became silent.

“Look at me, Laney.” I shook my head.

“Delaney… please…” I heard him sigh, “I scared you. No, you fear me.” he mumbled.

I wanted to deny this but couldn’t, if I’m not mistaken, he could hear my pounding heart, he could smell the fear oozing from me. Wait, do vampires smell fear? I shook my head inwardly, the main point is… how can I not be scared? I almost died just now, for chrissake! And might die soon if he loses control. The way he looked at me like he… My body trembled at the thought. But then again, looking at it from his perspective, I couldn’t blame him.

He’s a vamp who hasn’t fed for weeks? Normally, he’d lose control over the smell of blood. So, it’s partly my fault… ah, how can I say it’s my fault? He could have fed from anyone else, it must be me, right? Gosh, I feel like my way of thinking is becoming messed up due to spending too much time with all these supernaturals, I need to take a break.

Taking a deep breath, I calmed my raging emotions and was about to ask Knox to feed from me. I’m scared, yes, but if he wants to kill me, he would have done so, long ago, right? Sadly, when I opened my eyes, I didn’t see anyone in the room. That’s right, he saved me from the fall by bringing me to the living room, then he… left?

I blinked, “Knox?” my voice was met with silence.

After searching around with no sign of him, I sat on the white couch, my hands wrapped around my lower tummy. The cramps were still there, but the pain is nothing compared to what I pass through during my addiction. I don’t know how long I sat there, I was confused about what to do. I’ve never been in a relationship before, so it’s all new to me. How did things turn out to be like this? Everything was going great at the start and now this…

“Miss Delaney, Mr Knox will like me to drop you off at your house.” Adam’s voice drew me out of my stupor.

I lifted my head to look at him, “Where is he?”

“This…” he hesitated, “I’m sorry I can’t tell you that miss.”

I glared at him, “Where?”

There was silence then, “In his lair.”

My brows went up at that, lair? Does that mean Knox sleeps under the bed, as I’ve read in stories? Or inside a coffin to prevent the sun? Knox still hasn’t told me about his powers or stuff like this, so to say I’m curious about it will be an understatement. I met Adam’s gaze, “Take me to him.”

“What? No!”

I chuckled inwardly at his horrified face, “Don’t worry, I won’t let him fire you. Take me there, now.” I stated, determined. But I wasn’t sure about what I’m about to do. Yeah, you guessed right, I’m about to do something stupid, only, I’m not confident if my plan will work.

~ Cassie’s POV ~

My heart clenched as I watch Delaney get into the car. She’s going to another man’s place after rejecting me. I should be happy for her, I know this yet, I can’t stop the ache in my chest seeing her smile at the thought of meeting him. I’m a horrible friend? She’s not like me, she made that clear, still, I can’t bear the thought of her in another man’s arms.

I sighed for the umpteenth time that evening and was about to go inside when I saw shadows in the trees. I blinked twice and this time, I saw two ladies heading toward me.

“Hi, I’m Celine.”

“And I’m Avatia.”

I blinked at their striking beauty. The only thing in my mind then was, hot damn! Have they been hiding under a rock? How come I’ve never seen them? Though, despite their beauty, something feels off about them. Could they send from the billionaires that kidnapped Delaney?

“Uh, hi? Do I know you?”

Celine shook her pretty blonde hair, “No, we just moved in, we saw your house close by and decided to come to say hi.”

“She means we are neighbours.” Avatia chimed in.

“Oh, it’s a pleasure to meet you, then. I’m Cassie.”

We shook hands, I couldn’t help but marvel at how soft their hands felt.

“I just saw a car rolling out of the driveway, your boyfriend?” Celine inquired.

I snorted, “Nope, my friend, Delaney. She owns this place.”

They both smile, “Anyway, we have to go unpack our things. Bye.”

“Alright, bye.”

I watched them go with a frown on my face, something about them doesn’t seem right, but what? I didn’t get time to dwell on it much because I heard my phone ringing.

“Mom?”

“Cassie, your father wants you home immediately.”

“Why?” I asked, it doesn’t always end well whenever they both want me home. It would always end up in a fight.

“Don’t ask why and get your ass here, young lady, or do you want me to send a driver?”

I groaned, “No, I’ll be there soon.”

After hanging up, I quickly dressed up before heading home. The moment I stepped into the house, mom pulled me into a tight hug, “My baby, you’ve lost weight. I told you to stay here instead of living with that Delaney girl.”

See why I hate staying here? My parents are overdramatic, they always like meddling with my business.

“Mom, there’s nothing wrong with living with Delaney.”

She pulled back and scoffed, “Everything is wrong Cassie. First, you wouldn’t come home, second, we don’t know anything about you anymore and lastly, she’s starving you. I wonder why you mingle with the poor girl.”

I sighed “Mom, drop it okay? Where is father?” I walked past her to the kitchen to grab a snack, before turning to look at her.

“In his study…”

I quickly left the kitchen before she says something else. Knowing her, she would start talking about marriage or boys, and that’s something I’m not interested in. I want to live a carefree life where I get to live my life as a bi. Committing to one man is something I will never do. My dad, Evans, glanced up when I walked. “Cassandra.”

“Hi, father. You called for me?” I asked, sitting down. For some reason, I’m afraid to hear what he has to say, meetings like this don’t always end well.

“There will be a meeting abroad in two days’ time. The major officer will be there with other important people.”

I raised an eyebrow, “Okay… what does that have to do with me?”

His leafy green eyes which were the same as mine studied me for a while. “You will go there as a representative of our family…”

“No.” I cut him off before he could finish.

“What did you just say?”

“I said no, dad, I’m not going.” Evans is a cunning man, if I’m not wrong, he wants me to go there just so I could meet the Major. The major will then propose marriage and since I’m already there, dad wouldn’t let me come back. He’d probably force me into marrying him.

“Cassie, look…”

I stood, “I’ve made up my mind dad, I’m not going.” with that, I stormed out of the house.

“Cassie!”

I ignored them, got on my power bike, and decided to go to the club. Like, seriously, why don’t they get it? All I want is to live a lazy life with no commitment to anyone, that includes Delaney. Yes, I do love her, but I wasn’t planning on commitment. Is that hard to understand?

As I walked into the club, eyes turned my way, but I ignored them by going straight to the bar. The bartender smiled at me, “The usual?”

“Yes, please.”

I gulp the drink in one go when he brought it “More.”

He smirked and brought two more glasses, my anger slowly died down when I took the fourth glass. I held the fifth glass in hand and decided to check out the dance floor, maybe I’ll find a cute guy or girl to have a fling with. I scanned the club slowly with my eyes, only to pause when I saw a pretty blonde girl. Damn, she’s hot. I whistle and started making my way towards her.

I was a few feet away from her when I suddenly heard a loud growl behind me. The next minute, I found myself pinned to the wall and then someone was kissing me, someone. I could only blink for a moment, stunned. The man shoved his hands into my hair, tilting my head, so he could deepen the kiss, but I was quick to shove him off. “You psycho, get off me!”

“Mate,” he growled, encasing me in his arms again. Then he’s kissing me again, I struggled against his arms, but his grip on me tightened. Gosh, this can’t be happening, who is this weirdo?

I finally managed to push him away, but he still pinned me to the wall. “Stay…” he whispered like he’s talking to his dog.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

I shot him a threatening glare, “Do you want to die?”

He chuckled softly, “No, but I’ll happily die in your hands, wildcat.”

I gritted my teeth in anger, “Let go of me psycho, or I’ll make you regret it.” Seeing him, the butterflies in my stomach couldn’t help but rejoice, the guy is damn hot! You know… the model kinda hot, his obsidian black eyes watched me in amusement as if he has found a new treasure. As I watched him, my mind drifted back to Delaney’s boyfriend, the one that slept in her house the other day. Why do they look so alike? Are they related somehow?

“I won’t let you go, wildcat, you’re mine now. You’ll be coming with me, it’s either you come willingly or…” he leans towards my ears, “by force. I prefer the latter, though, so what do you say?”

My mouth opens and closes several times, I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry at the situation. I am his now? What the heck?
