Mated To The Alpha Kings

Have you ever been in a situation where you are mad at the whole world? You feel like the whole world is against you, feel so helpless to do anything while someone controls you here and there, you’ll only just get to watch and bear the ache? That’s exactly what I’m feeling right now. I was hungry, tired, my eyes are swollen from crying, my hands were aching from being bound like a slave, and to top it all, I’m being punished for something I have no control over. Is it my fault for being the way I am? For being an addict? I’m tired of having controlling men in my life, first my stepdad, Knox, and now, Rakel? I’ve heard enough! I can’t let this continue, or I might lose my mind in here. I stayed bounded till it was mid-afternoon while going over many things in my head at the same time. First, I went over what happened between us this morning and last night, how Rakel reacted to everything. I realize all Rakel cares about is for me to obey his rules and then wait for Knox mark to wear off, so he could sleep with me or should I say ‘mate’ with me as they call it. I wonder if I’ll even have a choice when that time comes.

Okay, say he mates with me and I become rightfully his, what happens then? Will he keep ordering me around and expect me to obey them like a lost puppy? If that doesn’t work out, would he keep punishing me like this? Is that the kind of life I’m cut out for? No, way! Even though I’ve never wished to have a prince charming who would someday see me like I mean the world to him, I do want a man who would at least understand me. Someone who knows what I wanted before I voice them out, not a controlling, possessive, and dominant kind of man who keeps telling me what to do and can’t do. I can’t have that anymore, I’m fed up.

Hence, my plan to frustrate him didn’t work, I’ve decided to leave. That’s right, today will be the day I’ll be leaving this hellhole, I’ve already planned out everything in my head, I just need to wait for the right time. So, here I am, leaning against the headboard, waiting patiently for sundown, so I could execute my plan. I don’t really care about the hunger, there are times when I’ve starved for days, so this is nothing compared to what I’ve been through in my younger years. At some point, I felt sleepy, I tried to fight it off my eyes slowly slipped into darkness.

“Let go of me!! You’re hurting me! Let go!”

“Shut up you b*tch! Do you think you can cheat on me and I wouldn’t know? You whore! Are you going to keep lying? Do I look like a fool to you?”

“I didn’t do anything, Max, let go of me. You are drunk!”

“Pah!”

The younger version of me was sleeping when she heard those noises, she instantly knew it was her stepdad quarrelling with mom again. Knowing what will happen next, she got down from the bed and rushed towards the phone that mom left for me.

At ten, I was unusually wiser than my mates, I knew between right and wrong. Maybe it’s the fact that my parents usually leave me at home and go on with their daily business or the fact that I was naturally born smart, who knows?

Picking up the phone, I called 911. They picked up immediately.

“Hello, what’s the situation?”

“Hi sir, my mom is heavily injured, can you please quickly send an ambulance? I’m afraid she won’t be able to hold on for long.”

There was a slight pause before he resumed talking”Okay dear, kindly send your address to me and tell us the situation with your mom, what happened to her?”

I ignored the last part of the question and gave him my address before hanging up. After that, I ran to the living room to see mom lying on the floor, looking so miserable as always.

Dad was nowhere to be seen, which made me wonder where he went to.

“Momma?”I cried out taking her hand in mine,” are you okay? Do you want me to do something? I already called for an ambulance.”

She let out a pained groan, and stretch her hand to touch my face, “No little Del, you’ve done enough. I’m so proud of you, dear that you can take care of mom at this stage.” she coughs.

Tears streamed down my face, “That’s what you taught me, mom.”

Just then, the paramedics rushed in and took her away, I wanted to follow them, but they didn’t let me.

“No dear, you stay indoors and be good, okay? What of your dad? Can you call him for us?”

I shook my head, “He went out.”

The lady gave me a pitiful smile and left a note for me, “Give him this when he comes back okay?”

I never saw mom after that day. According to the doctors, they said she had coronary artery disease, which led to heart failure, plus the fact that she was beaten didn’t help matters at all.

I woke up with a jerk while blinking furiously to stop the tears from falling. I don’t know why I suddenly dream of that night, how mum died all because of him! I’m definitely going to get my revenge back when I’m ready to face him. I took in a deep breath, deciding not to dwell on that for now, I can see it’s already dark outside, It’s time to leave before Rakel returns home.

“Hello? Anyone there?” I called out, my voice was a little raspy from lack of use.

The door busted open, and a guard rushed in looking around for a threat, when he didn’t see anything out of normal, his eyes fell on me. I recognize him to be the guard I was chatting with that day just to frustrate Rakel, his name is Tyson, I think.

“Luna?”

“Tyson, can you uncuff me? I’m pressed, furthermore, I can’t feel my hands anymore.” he started addressing me like that ever since he caught us chatting that day

He blinked, clearly hesitating “Tyson?”

“Umm, Luna…”

“Quick, Tyson, I want to use the restroom.”

He nodded, brought out the keys, and release me. I let out a pained groan as I lowered my hand, they were so stiff and aching from being hung up all day. I stood up on a shaky leg and made my way to the washroom, when Tyson didn’t make any move to leave, I glanced back at him with a raised brow “Do you also want to watch as I use the washroom?”

He blushed “l… I’ll be right back.” he quickly left after that, just as I expected. Tyson is a young wolf from what he told me, I noticed he’s a shy type too, so I’ll be using that to my advantage.

I quickly used the washroom, brush my hair, and then ambled back to the closet to change into something else. I wonder if it’s advisable to pack a small bag, but that will make people suspicious when they see me with it. Also, I know it won’t be safe out there if I eventually escape, since I’ll be putting on just Rakel’s t-shirt. What if I encounter thugs on the way? ‘Oh, well, I’ll deal with it when that happens, for now, I’m running out of time’ I thought, picking a black shirt and a black cap I saw sometime back. It looks abandoned, making me wonder if Rakel has ever worn it before.

After dressing up, I crept towards the door and slowly lock it so Tyson and whoever is out there, wouldn’t barge in. As expected, someone knocked on the door instantly, “Luna? Why did you?..”

“I want to shower, okay! Can’t have you barging in on me!” I assumed they accepted my reasoning because they didn’t say anything after that. I ran into the bathroom to turn on the shower, then rushed towards the window. Lucky for me, there was a tall tree near my window, so I carefully jumped onto it and climbed down.

My brow creases a little when I didn’t see any guards surrounding the house, as usual, did Rakel release them of their duties? Does that mean the only guard guarding me is Tyson? Whatever his reasons may be, I feel like something is going on. The uneasiness I was feeling when Rakel suddenly decided to sleep in my room returned in a hundred folds, should I be worried that something is about to happen?

I sighed, that isn’t my problem right now, I should be glad no one is out here to stop me. With that thought, I jumped down the tree and began running towards the packhouse.

Strangely, the packhouse was unusually quiet when I arrived, It wasn’t that full as the last time. What I want to do is to do now is to look for an unmated male, one that won’t have enough self-control when he sees me. I’ll use his distraction to my body to get information about the way out. I know that is stupid of me, but it’s the only thing I could think of at the moment. Jesse has told me that unmated werewolves have little to no self-control, that was why Rakel was jealous the last time at the packhouse.

However, before I could find any wolf, I heard some werewolves whispering something about vampires. My ears perked up upon hearing that, I crept closer to hear more.

“… he invited them himself, he wanted to know the reason why they’re after his mate…” the wolf suddenly trailed off and sniffed the air.

“Who is there? Who dares to come here at this time!”

I cursed, shit! Why is it hard to do anything when werewolves are around? I was about to run, but before I could take a step back, I was surrounded.

They all stared at me in surprise, “Luna? You shouldn’t be out here!”

I cleared my throat and raised my head, “What were you saying just now? Tell me.” I demanded.

They shifted on their feet, just when I thought they won’t reply, one of them stepped forward, “The vampires are here.”

“What?”

“They are here for you, Luna, we heard that the Alpha invited them himself.”

I stared at him in horror. What? Oh, God, this can’t be happening! I’ve been expecting this to happen in the future, but who would have thought that it would happen now? Just the thought of Knox and Rakel fighting over made me shudder. It would be a disaster! No, I can’t let that happen.

I grabbed the wolf that answered, “Take me there.”

” Luna…”

“Now!”

“Yes, Luna.”

I looked away when he started taking off his clothes, which made me sigh. Why don’t these wolves have any sense of modesty? He is casually undressing in front of me as if it means nothing!

He shifted into a beautiful brown wolf, not as big as Rakel, but he was still big nonetheless. I climbed onto his back, knowing that was what he wanted, then held on tight as he took me to another part of the pack I’d never been to. Even though I’ve been on a wolf’s back before, my heart still leapt as he ran, I kept praying he doesn’t throw me off or worst, decide to bite me.

He stopped at a building that wasn’t as big as the packhouse, but it was still beautiful. The guards surrounding the entrance glanced at me in surprise. I didn’t pay them any attention as I walk towards them, I was waiting for who would stop me, luckily, they didn’t. They only darted their eyes to me and back to the door, as if contemplating on what to do, they sighed and watched as I walked in. I’m sure they know it’s useless stopping me since I’m already here.

The moment I stepped in, I halted on my steps because the scene inside was nothing like I expected. The scene inside left me speechless. I could only stare at them, dumbfounded. They both turned toward me at the same time.

“Laney?”

“Delaney?”
