Mated To The Alpha Kings

Chapter 8 Move and you die



~ DELANEY'S POV ~

Knowing he can read my mind, I tried my best not to think of anything and stared at him.

"Hmph, I guess you have so, I want you to show me."

Show him?

How will I do that?

He gave me a toothy grin exposing his fangs which means he read my mind. "It's easy darling, you pick the one you're comfortable using, then show me how you did it."

I raised my chin, "What happens if I don't do it?"

"What happens?" His icy grey eyes went to my neck, sending chills down my spine.

I understood what that meant, he'll bite me and suck my blood. I shook my head fiercely, "You wouldn't do that"

He slowly stood up and stalk towards me, "Lesson one, never threaten a vampire, it sends a thrill into us that'll make them want to fulfil It at all costs."

He stopped a few feet away from me before speaking, "And trust me when I say I love the threats."

"W-What's your name?" I asked, trying to calm my beating heart. His presence affected me in ways that I can't even imagine, I felt afraid, aroused, and confused at the same time! He's truly messing with my head. "Call me Knox, Delaney."

Whoa, even his name sounds so cool.

He smirked but didn't comment, I knew he heard that. He crossed his arms, waiting.

Knowing that I've run out of time, I cleared my throat"Um the ball... You need to go choose, erm, a human."

He chuckled darkly, "Oh I already have, I chose someone interesting."

"Who?" My eyes widened as he continued staring at me"No no and no, you can't choose me" I said panicking.

"Why is that, dear Delaney? You don't like it here?"

"No... I mean," gosh, how do I put this so that he wouldn't get angry? The last thing I want right now is to make a vampire king angry "Um, what I meant is, your place is lovely and beautiful, but I can't stay here, I have a life out there with friends, I'm sure they're looking for me right now." Even though my life out, there is a little boring, I have Cassy with me.

He pinned me down with a hard stare, I thought he was going to get mad but instead, he chuckled.

"Oh well, they'll get over it with time. One thing is for sure, you're mine now, so get used to it and don't try to escape."

I blinked the tears from my eyes, accepting reality.

"So what happens now?" I asked.

Using his vampire speed, he stopped right in front of me and gently tuck my hair behind my ear.

"Be mine."

He let go of me, turned, and stride towards the door." One week Delaney, I'll give you one week to make your decision, for now, Vendetta will accompany you" he said then he's gone.

I remain standing there wondering who Vendetta was, and he gave me just one week?

Well, it's better than nothing. My inner mind snapped at me. It's a good thing he didn't ask me to show him how to use those sex toys. Geez, how embarrassing will that be?

I was finally able to relax after he left. God, how can one person affect me so easily? Whenever he's close by, butterflies begin to dance in my tummy. I'll find myself getting lost in his almost silver eyes or staring at his handsome face. Why do I find him so attractive? He's the first man to ever get that reaction from my body, or could it be his vampire charm? Yeah, that's it. He must be compelling me or something. I heard that vampires can compel someone.

Does that mean that holy water and garlic can scare them away? If that's the case, I need to find those items quickly.

Light laughter snapped me out of my trance, a cute lady with white-blonde hair appeared in the doorway gazing at me mockingly. A vampire, I can tell she's one of them.

"Lol, yes I'm a vampire, and no, garlic, holy water doesn't scare us away dear hahaha, that's the funniest thing I've heard in fifty years."

My eyes widened, how on earth did she know what I was just thinking?

She tsk tsk tsk and came closer to me, "You're practically screaming your thoughts at me, dear. Any vampire within this vicinity will be able to hear you and that's because you're leaving your mind unprotected, it'll be easy for anyone to get into your mind and control you."

"This... Then what do I do about it?"

She took my hand and stared into my eyes, "Close your eyes. Form a barrier within your mind, erm let's put it like you're building, using bricks to cover the entire space around your mind."

I closed my eyes and imagined what she just said, following her instructions.

Soon, she clapped, "That's it, you're a very fast learner."

I opened my eyes and stared at her, "You're Vendetta?"

She bowed slightly"At your service, I was wondering how many humans Knox will choose this year, who would have thought that it'll be just you?" She giggled

"Are you also one of his chosen? And why are you helping me?"

"Pfft" she spat"Chosen? Hell no, I'm his unwanted friend. I know Knox cares for me as a friend, but he'll never admit it, he's that stubborn, and as for why I'm helping you... He chose just you which means, there's something special about you" she paused and stared at my neck "hmm, I guess I'm right, he hasn't bitten you yet."

"He has! On my hand!" I showed her my hand where he bit me, but there wasn't any sign of the mark.

I

gasp, "The mark was just here."

She nodded as if she understood something I don't, "Yeah, a vampire's tongue has healing properties. But that isn't what I meant, he hasn't bitten you on your neck, which means he hasn't slept with you yet."

I frown, "Well, he gave me a week to decide."

She grinned "Wow! That is surprising, this is a good thing!"

Ahh, why do I feel like she's speaking in riddle? Whatever, she seems carefree and friendly, I might as well get some information from her.

"Vendetta, look, I need to leave, and I know only vampires know the way out, can you help me?"

"Ehn... About that, no one here can help you except him." She rushed to close the door and came closer, "Listen here Laney, I think you're special. Knox has never chosen one human before nor has he ever given them time to decide, he never considered their feelings, he is ruthless when it comes to human Laney.

That's why I think you're special, you're affecting him in ways which are making me confused. If you make him fall in love with you might consider you visiting your human friends."

Make him fall for me? Is that even possible?

Is that the only way out of this?

"Okay, let's not talk about all this, I need to take you to your new home and then, we'll go shopping. I'm sure you're curious about this kingdom."

"I can go out?"

She rolled her sky-blue eyes," Of course, this isn't a prison, but you'll be careful, so you won't get into trouble. Don't worry, no one can harm you with me there."

I nodded"Okay."

As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.org is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away!

She took my hand and pulled me towards the door, "Trust me you'll love it. I have a feeling we're going to be friends."

I followed her with one thought in my head. One week, I need to decide quickly.

At the market, Vendetta made sure the barrier on my mind is shut firm so that no vampire could get access to my mind easily.

"Remember that this works for only lesser vamps and turned Vampires. Any full-blooded vampire can easily get into your mind, got it."

I nodded, "Yeah, where to now?"

We've finished shopping for clothes, shoes, and bags. My heels were aching, I can't stand it anymore. The last thing I want right now is to go somewhere else.

Surprisingly, this kingdom, Valleys is beautiful, things are also cheaper here. Imagine buying a pair of jeans trousers at five dollars, something you can get at forty dollars in the human world.

Speaking of which, I turned to Vendetta and ask"We're still on Earth, right? This isn't another world, is it?"

She snorted, "Yes, we're still on Earth. Just that you'll hardly find this kingdom on the map, our ancestors made sure it's hidden enough. Okay, let's go to the undies department." Undies? Ahh not again.

I realize that vendetta is a shopaholic (if that is a word) damn! We've been shopping for hours, and she still seems to be upbeat.

We entered that section, and she went on to select the ones she thinks will be good. I felt someone's eyes on me. I turned but couldn't find anyone.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and moved towards Vendetta, I have a feeling that someone has been watching me since we left Knox's building, I don't just know who.

Vendetta dumped some sexy matching sets of panties on my hand, I noticed they were only in two colours. Plain black and white, but all designers.

"Knox likes his women to wear this, I think they'll look good on you, go try it on."

Um hello... I'm not trying to impress the man by wearing g-strings. She's saying it as if she knows what my decision will be. Only she doesn't know, I'll obey everything they say while searching secretly for a way out. I'll be getting out of this crazy kingdom any chance I get.

I puff out my cheeks, took the panties from her, and stride over to a lady in uniform, I guess she should be one of the workers here.

"Please, where can I find the dressing room?"

She pointed at a corner "Over there." "Thanks."

I glance at Vendetta only to see her busy selecting clothes, I shrugged and followed the direction the worker pointed out. Stepping into the dressing room, I quickly took off my clothes. I was about to try on the lingerie when the hairs on my body rose. Someone is here, just when I was about to turn, I heard a female's voice, "Don't move, or you die."
