Mated To The Alpha Kings

~ Delaney’s POV ~

One minute, I was enjoying the evening with Rakel, spilling words I never thought I’d say to a guy, the next moment I was running for my life. I hated it, I hated being weak. At that moment, something in me wanted to be let out, I could feel it crawling at my inside for release. I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but as I ran, I felt as if I were one with the wind. My footsteps were lighter, my speed, faster. The more I concentrated on it, I felt I could do a lot more. I felt stronger.

However, my concentration broke when I bumped into someone. My heart skipped seeing the huge muscled with a thick cold face. He jerked me to him before I could run, then pressed a sharp blade to my side. “If you dare scream, you’ll die, whore!”

I clammed my mouth shut, It’s not like I was planning on screaming, that would only distract Rakel. Recalling his panicked gaze when he asked me to run made me bite my inner cheeks, he wasn’t scared for himself but me. He had shifted into his wolf form right after I ran, I know he would come after me when he’s done killing the hunters. I just need to drag this out to give him enough time to come save me… that is if I don’t save myself first. I eyed the man who held me in a tight grasp, he has lowered his guard, seeing that I’m well-behaved. My eyes went to the knife he held in his other hand, and then I cleared my throat.

“Who are you guys? What do you want?”

“Shut up, bitch! We are trying to save you.”

I blinked, “Save me? From what?”

“From monsters. Don’t worry, we’ll take you to a place they can never find you,” he replied, urgency laced in his tone.

Huh, what kind of reasoning is that? Does he think I’ll buy that? I let my body slump, causing him to halt. “Damn bitch! What do you think you are doing?”

“So, you are rescuing me from my boyfriend? From what I see, you are the monster here.”

He hissed, “Look here, whore, I don’t know if you’re pretending to not know what they are, I don’t care. You are coming with me whether you like it or not.” his phone rang, distracting him. “Yes, I’ve her got here,” he replied tersely.

Oh, now I understand their plan, their target was me all along, they knew Rakel will ask me to run while he fights. But, what do they want with me? Does that mean they’ll try to kill him? Shit! I need to go back to him.

Just as the man hang up and was about to pocket his phone, I moved, snatching the knife from him, and stabbing the side of his neck. My movements were swift but has many flaws since I’m not trained. The man stilled from shock, hands going to his neck while cursing at me.

I use that opportunity to slip away from him, running back to the mountains.

Although, when I arrived there, the scene I saw was entirely different from what I had imagined. I expected a gory scene with Rakel killing people. However, the place was eerily quiet. I decided to go into the woods, so I rushed there, listening out for any sound.

“Rakel!” I called out.

Going deeper into the woods, I began hearing snarling sounds, I followed it and there I found him in his wolf form hovering over a dead human. I almost gagged seeing how Ryder opened his guts, it was simply nasty. I took a deep breath and focused my eyes on Ryder.

He growled loudly upon seeing me, causing my heart to beat frantically. He looked so frenzied at the moment, I doubt he recognizes me.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ryder, it’s me, Delaney,” I said, hoping he could hear me. I crept towards him and squat, “I need Rakel, Ryder. Please, let me in, your mate needs you.”

His growling stopped. I held my breath as he came forward, he sniffed my body for a few minutes, and afterwards, he shifted back to Rakel.

Rakel pulled me into his arms in a tight hug, he buried his face in my neck, inhaling my scent as if it calms him down. “I told you to run, Laney, what if something had happened?” he growled.

I let him hold me because it’s not every time one gets to see his protective side of him. “They wanted to kill you, not me.” God knows what they wanted with me.

His arms only tightened around me. “I was afraid. I thought… I thought I’ll lose you.”

Suddenly, he stiffened and pushed to the side. At the same time, I watched in horror as an arrow pierced through his chest. He stumbled, and fell, drawing a scream from me. “Rakel!”

I fell to the ground, crawling towards him with tears rolling out of my eyes. At the moment, I know I couldn’t lose him, I didn’t want to. Just the thought of him dying sent a pang to my heart. In the instance, I found out that I love him, and I couldn’t do without him.

I went over to him and placed my hand on his face. “Rakel, look at me. Please be okay, don’t you dare die on me.”

His eyes fluttered open, “Take it out.”

“Huh?”

“S–silver, take it out.”

I nodded in understanding, he wants me to pull out the arrow because the arrowheads are made of silver. But I’ve never done this kind of thing before, where do I start from? Moreover, he’s not worried about being pierced by the arrow, just the silver.

Rustling from behind drew my attention, my head whipped to the side, I quickly stood in Rakel’s front protectively. If anyone wants to hurt him, they’ll have to go through me first. I only hate the fact that I’m not with any weapon.

Three people emerged from the trees, I blinked when I recognized two of them. “Avatia? Celine? What are you doing here?”

A thought occurred to me, making me freeze in a spot. “You are involved in this?” I remembered their conversation earlier and narrowed my eyes.

Celine was the first to speak, “No, what are you saying? We were here with our boyfriends when we heard the commotion, we never knew you are also here. Thank goodness our boyfriends are well-trained, so they came here… to, um, help.”

As she was talking, the guy with them sauntered over to where I stood. I eyed him suspiciously, making him raise his hand, “I need to take that out, it’s harmful to his body.”

Harmful to his body? Does he know what Rakel is? I gasped, did they see him shift? I chewed on my lips and gave him way because even I can’t take out the silver. My heart ached at the thought of hurting him. Another guy came out, Avatia rushed to him, “How is it?”

“All dead, it was the last guy who shot the arrow.”

My eyes narrowed at Celine’s explanation, why do I feel like she cooked up a lie? Is it a coincidence that they are here when all this is happening? I didn’t have time to delve into it because I heard Rakel’s groan. My attention immediately went to the man pulling out the arrow, he worked the arrow out, and once he was done, he glanced at me.

“It’s done, thank Heavens that the arrow isn’t poisoned. We’ll leave you guys now.” he bowed slightly before going to meet Celine.

“Wait, what if they come back?” I asked, referring to the hunters, “And, what about him? He’s injured, you know…”

Avatia walked up to me and pulled me away from the rest. “Your mate will be fine, just don’t mention anything about us to him. You’ll understand everything, soon.”

My eyes widened, how does she know we’re mates?

As if understanding the look on my face, she patted my shoulder. “Like I said, you’ll understand everything soon, remember, don’t mention anything about us.” With that, she left with her group, leaving me standing there confused. Nothing made sense no matter how I try to comprehend it, nothing! Are they also werewolves? If yes, then, which pack are they from? Are they Rakel’s enemies? Was that why she wants me to keep shut about them? I rubbed on my temples feeling a migraine coming up, instead of trying to comprehend what just happened, I decided to drop it… at least, for now.

I went back to Rakel who was lying on the ground, then wipe the dirt on his face. My eyes darted to the wound on his chest, which was slowly healing… I was simply fascinated. How cool will it be to have such ability? When Rakel asked me if I wanted to become a werewolf, I panicked inwardly because I’d never thought of it, but looking at him now, I began wondering what it will feel like to be a wolf.

As I stared at the blood pouring out of his injury, my mouth began to water. The scene of me licking blood from Knox’s lips flashed in my mind, causing me to stiffen. ‘Oh God, this can’t be happening.’ But as I stared at the blood, I couldn’t help but feel a pang in my throat. I want a taste.

My eyes went back to Rakel’s face, only to freeze as my eyes met his. I shifted uncomfortably on my ass, trying to avoid looking at the blood. Still, my eyes somehow went there. However, the wound has healed up, leaving just a bruise. I know it’s still healing internally… “Laney?”

I blinked, “Huh?”

“Are you okay?”

I nodded, “I should be asking you that. How are you feeling?”

The pang in my throat was now becoming unbearable. For some reason, my eyes darted to Rakel’s throat – the vein was calling to me, I wanted to taste his blood like now! What would it feel like sinking my teeth into them? Similar to how Knox usually does when feeding…

“I’m fine-” he trailed off when he saw me leaning over.

Without thinking, I pressed my lips against his, kissing him softly. He groaned, pulled me over, so I can straddle him. Even knowing his injury was healing, I was careful not to touch that area.

I tore my lips from him, kissing the side of his mouth, sliding my mouth down to his neck. It was as if a force was controlling me, a part of me knew what I was doing and liked It because it feels right, while my rational mind was screaming at me to stop. Rakel shuddered as I suckled the vein on his neck, thus wrapping his hand around my waist as I bit his neck, hard till I drew blood. Without thinking, I lapped on the little blood that came out, wishing there was more.

I instantly knew when Rakel’s control snapped. He flipped me over, so I was lying on my back, and then he was kissing me, his hands touching me all over my body. A moan escaped my lips when he palmed my breast, roughly.

He grunted his approval as I wrapped my hand around his neck, pulling him closer.

He kissed all over my face, down to my neck – giving me the same treatment I just gave him.

My lower tummy tightened as he sucked on my neck, his hand slid into my pants, to my folds. His fangs grazed my skin, which caused a shiver to run through me.

I tilted my head, a silent approval. Rakel didn’t hold back anymore, he sank his teeth into my neck, and at the same time, he inserted his finger into me. My orgasm zinged through me as I screamed his name. I felt him retract his fangs and licked the spot he just a bit, “My mate.” I heard him say before sinking into darkness.

~ Rakel’s POV ~

As soon as she passed out, I gaze at her lovingly, not believing what just happened. No, does she realize what she just did? Even Ryder was ecstatic about what we had just done. We’ve marked each other! She marked me!

Now, he wants to claim her in every way, so he’d show the world who she belongs to. I suppressed the need to do that by dressing up and carrying her in my arms despite the slight pain in my arm. Then I left the mountain to her house. She’s not safe here anymore now that the hunters know about her, I’ll have to talk to her about leaving.

I’ll only leave her here now because I need to stay far away from her, anywhere so long as she’s not close by. If not, I will heed my wolf’s demand by claiming her right here.

Knox needs to hear this. I quickly sent a message to Ten to arrange a meeting between the vampire and me then I cursed at Asher through the mind link.

‘You bastard! Where the hell are you? If you don’t show up at my mates’ house this instance, I will…’

‘I’m on my way! Fucking got attacked by lone wolves.’

‘Be fast!’ I barked and shut him out. Can’t leave my mate unprotected.

Delaney’s roommate opened the door, I glared at her as I went into the room. Leaving Delaney in a house with a girl who loves my mate doesn’t sit well with me but what can I do? I can only wait till Asher gets here.

Thirty minutes later, Asher arrived. He barged into the house as he owned it, only to pause when he saw Cassie and me glaring at each other. She broke eye contact with me first and glance at him… “Psycho?” she said in shock.

“Wildcat? You are here?”
