Seeing him walk in, I moved far away from him with my heart beating hard against my chest. He didn't say anything, his cold eyes watched my every movement.
"W-who are you?" I asked, trying to put on a brave face even though my legs were trembling.
He cocked his head to the side, but I was sure he didn't deign to retort.
"Take off your clothes and get on the bed," he said coldly, his dark eyes watching me like prey.
My heart skipped"What? Why should I do that?"
I unconsciously moved further away from him.
Hearing this, his eyes flashed in surprise, as if no one has ever questioned him before." Don't make me repeat myself, do as I say and strip."
I raised her head haughtily, "No!"
He cocked his head to the side and then in a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of me.
I gasp fearfully.
The hell!! How do they keep doing that? No one has ever moved that fast except in movies. Could it be that he has a Flash superpower? The Flash I'm talking about is from the avenger movie.
I was still thinking about this when I heard"Delaney" his voice rumbles in my head.
In my head!!
I stared at him open-mouthed, not knowing how to react. On one hand, I was aroused by the sexy rumble of his voice and on the other, I was torn between being scared and shocked.
Not only that, but how does he know my name?
He made an impatient throaty growl which snapped me into action. I took off my clothes before I realized what I just did then lowered my head and waited for his next instruction.
He pursed his lips, "Good, seems like you're beginning to understand the rules."
I blinked, what rules?
I momentarily forgot myself for a minute and was startled when he abruptly moved at a fast pace. The next minute, I found myself straddling his legs then another minute, I realize my bra and panties were off, I was naked!
"Show me how you do it," he said in a low tone, but I heard him anyway and understood what he meant.
I wanted to resist him but I have a feeling he would somehow force me to obey him, something tells me he isn't a man I can trifle with. I took a deep breath before sliding a shy hand down my clit. The shock of the contact made me gasp. Memories from the past threatened to take over, memories of what my stepfather did, I tried to shut them out but didn't succeed. The memories kept coming until he leaned towards me, his hot breath fanned on my ear causing me to shiver "Go on" he said, widening my legs till I was completely exposed to him.
He put his hands on my breasts, rubbing his thumbs over my sensitized nipple, sending hot pleasure through me.
"Again."
Again, I stroked a finger through my silky wet folds. We both heaved hot breaths, there was a way in which it felt more intimate...me so exposed, so visible my legs held apart by his legs. And I was extremely wet — wetter than when I do this alone at home. At the same time, so ashamed that my body was reacting to him. Forcing out the memories, I closed my eyes and concentrated on the feeling of a man's hand on my breasts and the folds of my sex.
I bit back a moan and got into a little rhythm, stroking myself as he played with my nipples.
Sometimes he rolled them between his fingers like little beads, other times he tugged at them. Every new thing he did send pleasure clear through me. So different from the pleasures I get when I do this alone by myself.
He wants me to cum right? I decided to start playing random scenes from all the pornographic movies my stepdad usually forces me to watch, ones of dad playing with other ladies' clit while fucking them so I can cum quickly, hopefully, he wouldn't take things further.
My movement became harder and faster.
"Give me your fingers."
I blinked trying to catch my breath, "What?"
"You disobeyed already" he growls
My eyes widened"No...no please."
"No what?"
My brains worked fast, "No Sir."
"Good girl"
I watched as he took my hand and licked it clean– his eyes never leaving mine. He slowly licked his way down to where I injured my hand, I totally forgot about that.
Again, his eyes change to red, making me gasp. I tried to pull my hand from his grasp, but he held it in a tight grip.
"Stay still," he murmured.
Under my surprised gaze, I stared as he opened his mouth, his teeth started to grow longer – like the canines of a vampire.
My eyes widened. Vampires!
That's what he is.
His teeth sank into my hand before I got the chance to react. I cried out, "Let go of me!!"
I struggled to pull my hands away, but the more I struggled, the more he drank my blood. The suction continued for a long time that I felt myself falling onto the bed. I was slowly losing consciousness. I felt him extract his teeth from my skin, then he was licking the spot. I don't know what happened after that because I blacked out.
KNOX's POV
Shit!
I took too much blood! Although she's still going to survive, I shouldn't have fed from her. I licked on the spot where she was hurt and watched as the wounds closed up. That's right, our saliva has healing attributes that could heal injuries quickly.
Hers wouldn't heal completely today because she was struggling, which made her injuries worsen.
I stared at her small frame, wondering what is it about her that captured my attention the moment I saw her. I was about tucking her hair behind her ears when I paused halfway.
What the hell!!
She's human, I can't think about her that way. They're my enemy!
They're here so I can take my revenge on them and satisfy my needs.
Without sparing her another glance, I walked out of the room and sent a transmission to Raphael.
"Get me another girl."
"Yes, Alpha!"
DELANEY's POV
I woke up with a start, opened my eyes to see two faces close to me. I screamed and jumped up from the bed immediately.
The girls raised their hands in surrender, "Hey relax, calm down, we're not going to hurt you."
My eyes darted around the room but couldn't see 'The Alpha' only three girls.
The third girl glanced at me disdainfully and walked out of the room.
I turned my attention back to the two girls.
"Hi, I'm Camellia and she's Cornelia. We're both Twins!"
That was when I noticed the striking resemblance between them. They're not identical twins, if you look closely, you'll be able to tell the difference.
"Okay"
"Are you guys..." I started
"A vamp?" One of them said, and I nodded.
"No, we're humans, but we'll soon be changing to vampires!" She said excitedly.
I could only stare at her in shock.
"Don't scare her off, Neil, she's a newbie here."
So fast, everything was happening so fast that I can't think straight anymore, it feels as if I'm in a horror movie.
Vampires are not real, I tried to tell myself, but when I glance down at my hand, I could still see faint marks of what that man did to me earlier.
I cleared my throat, "Can you tell me where we are? And how I can get out?"
"The Vampire Kingdom is called Valleys, and please give up the idea of leaving because you can never leave except Mr. Knox allows you to. You are now his, do you get?" Cornelia said
"Now his?"
She rolled her eyes, "Yes, of course, did you by any chance meet Raphael? He usually goes out to kidnap humans then he'll sell them to Cain while Cain brings them to Alpha Knox, so you should be happy the Alpha likes you...a bit else he'd have killed you long ago. All the girls here are always happy to please him, so you should be happy too."
"Cornelia!!! Shut the f*ck up! You're revealing too much, she just got here!" Camellia half yelled.
"What? It's not like she's not going to find out later, so why not tell her now?"
Camellia shook her head, "Come on, we need to get you dressed for the Ball."
"The Ball?"
She nodded"Yeah, there will be a gathering of vampires tomorrow evening and everyone is so excited about it mainly because vampires will choose new slaves tonight. Alpha Knox will be giving out some human girls. If you're lucky, a good vamp will choose you, if you're not... Anyway, let's just hope Mr. Knox wouldn't give us out to other vampires."
I rubbed on my temples, feeling a migraine coming." Can you two excuse me for a minute?"
They both smiled and left the room. I covered my face with my hand and groaned loudly, trying to sort out all the information I got since coming here.
First, someone touched me and my body reacted to it.
I found out the man is a vampire which is still hard to believe, next is that I'm now in a vampire kingdom where I can never leave and now, they want to give out humans? What the hell is going on?
KNOX'S POV The ball was already in full swing when I arrived. Everyone stopped partying and bowed. Yes, you could say I'm the Alpha king here. For an unknown reason, I scanned the hall looking for her. Delaney. I felt slightly disappointed that she isn't here yet. There is something about her that seems different from other humans, I just don't know what that is. I strode over to my seat, once I'm seated, the party began again. Female humans danced while male vampires watched and drink. Today is all about choosing, every year, vampires gather here to choose humans and use them as concubines. The concubines are to satisfy the vampire's needs, either sexually or offer their blood to us. There is always a rule, though... the vampires are to treat them with care for a year. After a year, the human will choose between becoming one of us, or they die. You might think it's vile and awful, but
Cassie stayed in between the guys, loving every second as they touched her. "You're so beautiful, darling," the man with blue eyes said, grabbing her ass. She moans softly. This is like a dream come true for her! She's sure all the girls in the club are glaring daggers at her. Rumors said that the D– brothers never talk to anyone whenever they show up in this club, only drink and leave. Never once have they been seen with any girl, some began to wonder if they're gay but clearly, they're not. Because they're all over her, touching her. Laney needs to see this, Cassie hopes she's also getting some, ha! Suddenly, their hands froze on her skin. She frowns, "What happened?" "Sorry, sweetheart, we need to go." "What? Why?" They already left before she could question them. She pursed her lips, "Ahh why did this happen? I already had them in my arms." With a sigh, she deci
~ 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 in using, then show me how you did it." I raised my chin, "What happens if I don't do it?" "What happens?" His icy gray 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 fulfill 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 yo
I freeze instantly upon hearing that, somehow I knew the lady is a vamp. Oh God, why am I so unlucky? Is she going to kill me now? "You're the new alpha king's concubine, right?" Concubine? She pressed a blade to the back, not too hard to wound me, "Answer me." I nodded quickly,"Yes, I am. Please don't hurt me." I whimpered. "Quiet. Look, I can help you get out of here, there's a way out, but that depends on if you want to leave." I blinked, "You know a way out?" That wasn't what I was expecting. My heart rate spiked up in excitement, knowing I can leave here without depending on Knox. I can leave before my one-week expires. "Yes, but I don't have much time, just do as I say. Got it?" I nodded and listened to her plan, "Remember, don't tell anyone about it or else you'll be killed." With that, she slipped out of the dressing room, leaving me in my shocked state. Not long after that, I heard... "De
I open the door only to freeze in surprise upon seeing Knox! Why the hell is he here instead of that lady? My heart began racing, thinking he might be here for my decision when my time isn't up yet. He gave me one week, there are two days left, so why did come? "Aren't you going to welcome me in, dear Delaney?" Too shocked to say anything, I silently open the door and stepped aside. My mind began reeling with excuses I could come up with if he brings up the topic. I need to come up with a reasonable lie, something that can delay him. Did vendetta say something about his behavior different towards me? I can use that as an advantage to get out of this. As I thought of all this, I made sure my walls were tightly shut though, I'm not sure whether it'll have any effect on him. Vendetta said powerful and ancient vampires could still hear your thoughts no matter how thick your walls are. The thought made me wonder how old Knox is, he can't be an
Knox POV ~ A familiar pang in my throat made me clench my fist, I need to feed quickly. I don't think I can hold it anymore, If this goes on, I'll go bloodlust and that will be terrible since I'm an ancient vampire. It'll be hard for anyone to get me under control. A week before the selection, I didn't get a chance to feed because I was busy with preparations for the selection. Also, I preferred not to feed on my old concubines, I was waiting for my new chosen human. The little I took from her the last time wasn't enough, I wanted more. Recalling how her blood tasted made me salivate and has been keeping me on the edge any time I think of her, It's been taking more than I expected not to go to her, and it's all my fault! I gave her one fucking week for some unknown reason — something I've never done before, especially for a human! Left for me, I would have fed from her and fucked her senseless on the selection day, but I couldn't. Something about her made me co
Delaney's POV ~ Tears began streaming down my face, "You came! You're really here!" Now I have hope of leaving. She gazes at my tears with a hint of irritation on her face. I heard her mutter 'humans' before she clears her throat. "We don't have much time, we have to leave now before anyone shows up." She said urgently. I studied her for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "What's your name? I mean I can't keep calling you 'that lady' right?" "Amira, my name is Amira." I nodded, "Why are you helping me? What will you gain by doing so? Hope you aren't expecting you to pay with my blood, as you can see, I haven't fully recovered from one yet." No matter what, I know she isn't helping me out of goodwill, I'm smart enough to know that she has her motives, just that I don't know what that is. I know it's foolish of me to put all my hopes on a vampire — one I just met, but I've got no choice, she's the only one who has
Valleys Kingdom ~ After helping Delaney escape, Amira didn't linger around, she could hear the rouge vampires running towards her. If she stays in their territory a minute longer, she would die a horrible death. She heaved a soft sigh as she has achieved success this time, but also dreads what awaited her as she headed to the city. She's sure that Knox has already found out hell, he might be on his way here, but she doesn't give a damn! Furthermore, she has achieved her goal already, so she'd take whatever he throws her way – anything so long as he won't have any female by his side. Amira too was a human when they first brought her here, you can say she's the first concubine Knox has, his first chosen! Her case is a little different from the new humans coming here. She suffered the most because Knox's hatred for humans was still fresh on his mind. It was at that time he lost his parents! At first, Knox gave her the illusion of wanting her, of lo
Does this mean my parents cause the rift between the werewolves and the vampires? But they were only two people in love who weren't concerned about their identity. What was wrong with that? Do they think that dad really killed mom? She died of childbirth. I… I killed my mother. Tears filled my eyes instantly the moment I realized this. I haven't finished digesting this news when someone broke the shower door. I jumped out of the bathtub in surprise. Rakel stood at the door, his eyes running over my body and then the bathroom. “Are you okay? I've been knocking.” “I…” How do I tell him I'm the product of the very thing they hated the most? What will they do if they find out what I am? In other to hide my fear from Rakel, I distracted him by picking a towel from the rack and using it to cover my body. His eyes followed my movement, but he didn't step into the bathroom. We both stood there silently, watching each other. Right at that time, a familiar feeling started in my tumm
Delaney's POV ~It's been two days since we arrived at Valleys, with no sign of the ‘Heat’. Everything has been calm. Extremely calm, which doesn't sit well with me. I feel as though something has changed in valleys since the last time I came here. A feeling that something is wrong somewhere. Just like the calm before the storm? That's precisely how I feel now. Something is about to happen, something big. But, what? What is going to happen? Am I the only one sensing this?I glanced down at Rakel who sat in the living room discussing with some of his pack members and sighed. Knox has gone out to attend a meeting with his fellow vampires. Though they said nothing to me, I know they've been busy these days. I had inadvertently put them in a tight spot by forcing Knox to bring Rakel here. If the news gets out, it will dissatisfy the vampires with the werewolves in their kingdom. Knox had to teleport Rakel and his pack members to his mansion to avoid the p
Cassie's POV ~I had the nicest dream ever that night. I dreamt an angel watched over me throughout the night, keeping me safe. The notion left me protected, never felt that safe. And when he kissed me, I felt like I'm on cloud nine; I didn't want it to stop. His lips moved from my mouth to my forehead.Though, as his lips touched my skin, I frown. Why does it feel so real? Just as I was about to shrug off the feeling, I heard the door banged up. Immediately, my eyes snapped open, and I stared at the ceiling for a while. After a few minutes, everything that happened last night flooded into my head, causing me to curse. “Crap! It's not a dream!”His smell lingered in the air. Not only that, the slight ache in the neck and me, lying naked on the bed, proofs I'm not dreaming! Getting up, I made my way to the bathroom — wincing at the soreness I felt between my legs. I glanced at myself in the mirror and couldn't help but curse at Asher, beho
“What?!!”I yelled after they told me about the heat thing. “You knew about this, yet you still marked me?”When no one answered, I scoffed in disbelief. “Is there any other thing you guys are hiding from me? The thing I should know?”They both averted their eyes from mine which made me suspicious. It's funny how two dominant males became mute under my gaze. Just the thought of experiencing another heat caused me to shudder. From the looks of it, it won't be long before I go through it again. Why won't they just mate with me and let go of their pride? The knowledge made me glare at them in anger.Knox decided to change the topic by saying, “You can't live here any more Delaney, you need to come with us.”I scoffed. “Why should I? It's like you're forgetting you both rejected me last night.”“That's not it…”“Then? Tell me what it is!” I spat. &l
Delaney's POV ~The moment I slipped into darkness, I found myself outside a cave — the same one I dreamt of last night. This time, I re-watch what transpired, with the couple not regarding my existence.“Don't give up, my lover, you can do this. We will do this together.”“I can't. I feel so tired, I want to sleep.”“Not now, my love, you need to push. Just give it one more try, okay?”She nodded. “Damon? What will we do if they find out about her? You need to protect her, Damon.”“I will, with my life. Now, are you ready?”She responded and pushed, gripping Damon's hand. However, no matter how she pushed, the baby just won't come out. The woman fell back to the little cloth she was lying on, breathing hard. Watching from the sidelines, I could tell she's already exhausted. So many questions filled my head at that moment. Questions like, why are they in t
I don't know what Knox meant by I'm going into heat, but I have a feeling it has something to do with what's happening to me now. All at once, all the werewolf males in the room began moving towards me, the vampire males rushing out of the house. I couldn't bring myself to figure out why, nor do I care. I didn't notice Asher going out. When did he even show up here? I thought he was with Cassie…Rakel paused halfway when he noted the wolves behind him. He growled at them, looking like he would shift at any moment. I would have been afraid of him if I wasn't in this state because he looked feral. The male wolves whimpered under their Alpha's gaze, turned, and left the room.Seeing that only Rakel and Knox were the only ones in the suite, I palmed my breast — moaning out loud at the jolt of electricity that zinged through my body. But it wasn't enough. I wanted them to a point of pain. Rakel arrived at my side. His mouth slammed against mine an
There was silence then Ten, Rakel's beta broke it by saying, “Luna, you are asking for war. You do realize that, don't you? If you don't choose between them, then there's no way the vampire kingdom and our pack will unite.”“Exactly! That's impossible!” Keith, who was sitting beside him, chimed in.I maintained my blank face even as Knox and Rakel scrutinized me. They still haven't gotten over what I just said. They were stunned. I could feel them through the bond trying to probe into my mind, to know what I was thinking, but I didn't give them that chance to do that. I kept my mental shield up.Knox couldn't hold it in again, he walked over to me and took my hand. “Tell me something, Delaney, is someone stopping you from making a choice? I can…”“No, Knox. I've thought this through on my own, no one is stopping me. It's either I have you both to myself or we end things here. I've made my decision, no
Delaney's POV ~ Knox teleported himself home after that. I laid my head on the window while thinking. ‘Am I doing the right thing? How will the meeting tomorrow go?’ In other, to calm the raging headache from my hangover, I moved to the kitchen to prepare the hangover tea I learned from Cassie. Speaking of Cassie, she doesn't seem to be at home. She and Asher. I wonder how last night went for them or where they are now. As I sipped my drink, I heard a meowing sound in the living room. On reaching there, I saw Mr. Toms lying on the couch. “Hey there, big guy. Where have you been?” he seems to have disappeared forever since Rakel showed up. Ambling to him, I patted his fur and sighed. “What should I do, Toms? Did I make the right decision?” The next day, Cassie returned home without Asher. I raised my brow curiously, wondering what happened between them. I wanted to ask but dropped it for now. I have enough on my plate as it, s
Outside Delaney's house, I was about to barge in when I heard her voice.“Asher… no! I want more!”Asher grunted. “No, you don't. If your mates find us like this, we will both be in trouble.”My eyes narrowed. Don't tell me Asher really took advantage of her in that state.“Ah! Please, Asher, I need more. This isn't enough.” She moaned.Huh, she's even begging him for more? This can't be happening. Is Rakel stupid for leaving his cousin in our mate's house?“Pretty please…”“Fine, just don't let your mates know about this.”Right at that time, I barge into the house, ready to kill that bastard with a punch him to death. “Too late Asher. I already know about it.”However, the scene inside was different from the one I expected. Instead, of seeing them naked, I saw Delaney clutching a bottle of alcohol while Asher struggl
