Mated To The Alpha Kings

He decided to try something else by licking her legs, that did it because she instantly turned and froze. Her jaw hung open in a silent scream, her face paled in terror. Ryder kept changing 'Please don't scream, please don't scream in my head making me roll my eyes, I also held my breath, waiting for what she would do next. Ryder then decided to lie on the ground while staring up at her till she regains her senses, that way, he wouldn't look so intimidating.

She finally closed her mouth, took a deep breath, and stared at Ryder curiously and cautiously. "Rakel, is that you?" She shook her head, "no, you're Ryder, hello Ryder." Ryder got up and began rubbing his body over his, purring at the closeness of his mate. Delaney swallowed, "Umm, I'll take that as your Hi I guess."

She tentatively reaches out to touch him, causing Ryder to purr loudly, she took that as an encouragement to continue, soon I didn't smell any fear from her. "I love your fur Ryder, so dark and shiny, they're also very soft." 'Hear that Rakel? She loves me' Ryder boasted.

'Oh, please, she loves your fur, not you.' I snorted.

'Well, isn't that the same thing? At least she loves me, what does she love about you? Let me guess, nothing? Ha!'

I gritted my teeth and decided to cut their time short by reminding him about the vampires. He became alerted and nudged Laney to get on his back.

"What was that?"

Ryder laid down on the ground beside her legs and nudged her again, "You want me to get on? O-kay... Just don't throw me off, okay?"

After doing the sign of the cross-something that humans do while praying to their God, she slowly climbed onto Ryder's back, once she was settled, Ryder stood up making her squeal in surprise. She held on to his neck as he then raced towards our house.

We arrived after a short while, Delaney got down from Ryder's back while smiling like a fool, "Oh my God! That was awesome Ryder!"

'Hear that Rakel? She called me awesome! I mean, I know I'm always awesome but coming from our mate's mouths isn't that great?'

I only scoffed at him, not bothering to reply, It would raise his ego.

'You do realize I can hear your thoughts, right?'

'Whatever.'

Just as Delaney was patting Ryder's fur, I shifted back to human, causing her hands to freeze mid-air. I watched as her eyes grow wide seeing me naked then she blushed cutely and covered her face "You should have given me a warning Rakel!" A smirked and put on the clothes a guard brought me, "You don't have to be shy Delaney, I told you you're free to look, my body is yours after all" I tap her shoulder "Come on let's go eat dinner."

She followed me into the house, flushing all over again when she saw the guards. Delaney announced that she was going to wash up and then took the stairs before I could protest. I was about to head to the dining room when an urgent message came through the mind-link from my Beta.

'Alpha, the vampire has accepted your invitation.'

I smirked, It seems the vampire king really wants Delaney back, I guess I'll have to break his bubble when I announce that she's my mate, maybe then will he want to fight with me. The thought sent a thrill into my body. 'Good, tomorrow by 6 pm, I'll meet with him.' After saying that, I shut him off, and settled down in the dining room just as Delaney walked in wearing another shirt of mine.

We began eating in silence until I decided to ask her about the vampire. "Tell me what they did to you at Valleys, Delaney."

Delaney's POV

The moment he said that the drink I was taking went down the wrong pipe, leaving me in a coughing fits. It took a while to calm down, and after I did, I gaze at him, "Why do you ask that?" "Because you're my mate. I want to know everything they did to you," he answered without hesitation.

I shook my head and let my spoon drop on the table, already losing my appetite. Why would he suddenly ask me about Knox? Is he planning to go fight with them? Could it be... that was what he and his Beta were discussing at the pack house? I don't know why but the thought of Knox and Rakel fighting didn't sit well with me, though I have a feeling they will fight in the future, but I want to prevent that at all costs.

"They didn't do anything to me," I answered, walking out of the dining room before he could question me again.

He caught up with me before I could climb the stairs, forcing me to look at him, "Stop playing with me Delaney, tell me the truth, why did you leave Valleys? Why were you in that state when I rescued you? What did their king do to you?" Oh, well, this is the same question I kept asking myself, ever since Knox told me that he never loosed control on purpose because I was his mate, I found myself thinking about the main reason I was in a haste to leave, maybe it's the knowledge that they kidnapped me that made me desperate, also the fact that they are vampires! They could kill me at any time! Knox losing control back then was the only thing that made me determined to leave, If not, I might have rejected Amira's offer.

However, now that I've spent a few days with the werewolves, I began wondering if it isn't the same thing. The werewolves could also kill me anytime, Rakel also held me captive by not letting me leave. The only difference is, that he has never done anything that will cause me pain. Well, maybe it's because I've never made any attempt to leave, who knows whether he'd be worse than Knox?

Rakel and I stared at each other, he crossed his hands waiting, when he saw that I wouldn't say anything, he ran his hands through his hair "Just fucking tell me, Delaney, why are you protecting them? Did they threaten you with something?" I shook my head, even though I don't know why I'm protecting Knox, I don't just want them to start a fight because of me, especially when they both find out, I'm their mate. I shudder thinking about what will happen then. Rakel's eyes narrowed, "Don't tell me you love him, is that it? But will you run from someone you love?"

"Rakel please, drop it okay? I left because I wanted to, I wanted to go home! I never thought I would be kidnapped the second time again!" "This is not kidnapping."

I raise my brows, "Then? What is it? Will you let me leave if I wanted to?"

When he didn't respond, I shook my head and climbed up the stairs to my room. I shut the door behind me, plunk myself on the bed, and tried to blink the angry tears that threaten to spill from my eyes, but they still drop anyway. I never asked for any of this in the first place, why is fate putting me in situations like this? Why?

I don't know how long I lay there crying, however, my tears dried up as time goes on, I was on the verge of drifting off to sleep when the door busted open. I jolted out of bed with a pounding heart, when I saw who was at the door, I sighed. "What do you want, Rakel? Haven't anyone told you it's wrong barging into a lady's room like that?"

He shut the door behind him and strolled towards the bed.

"I'll be spending the night here." He announced, causing me to blink several times. "What? Why?"

"What do you mean by why? It's my house, I have every right to sleep wherever I want to." He took off his shirt and lay down on the other side of the bed. The bed suddenly look so small as he occupied half of the space, I couldn't help but think that his action is weird. First, he questions me about Knox, and now he suddenly wants to spend the night here. No matter how I think of It, I couldn't help but deduce that something is wrong. The problem is, I don't know what that is. A shiver worked its way through my body as I thought of Knox's words, "I am coming for you, Delaney..."

Could it be that he has found me already?
