Mated To The Alpha Kings

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 prying eyes of his people.

I thought there will be an improvement if we all lived together. The sexual tension is there. They want to get close to me, however, their pride and ego seem to hold them back when they think of the decision I made three days ago. They feel like they can still make me choose between them. What they don’t know is I would never do that.

There’s a saying that a woman’s sixth sense never lies, and I’ve always believed in my instincts. Something tells me fate brought us together for a reason, and that’s why I’m here to find out what that is.

My plan hasn’t changed. I’ll need to find an opportunity to bring them together. That way, we can all live as one. If they both mate with me, it could solve the problem temporarily, but that will require the heat to start. I wonder why I haven’t experienced it since the last time.

Anyway, since they refuse to discuss what caused the enmity between them, I found other means. The library. Surely, I will discover a thing or two in the library, right? I just need to search this mansion for Knox library. The problem is, Knox’s home is way bigger than I expected. One can get lost in it. I’ve been searching for the so-called library for three days with no results.

Aside from that, another thing occupying my thoughts is… my dreams. I still don’t get why I keep dreaming about those strange people. I think it’s trying to force me to learn something. I look forward to nighttime the most. I want to see what happens next, to figure out the dreams! To make this happen, I need to fall into a deep sleep, one that I won’t wake up for a long time until I grasp the meaning of the dreams. Funny enough, the dream always finishes in the same manner – ends in where the lady dies after childbirth, then the man wallows in grief.

I guess understanding my dreams is a priority, something I can do easily, so I’ll rather do that first before searching for a library.

To accomplish that, I need pills. There are no drugs here in Valleys so, I can only use herbs. Ambling back to my room, I locked the door behind me, filled the bathtub with hot water, added oil that could reduce fatigue. Glancing at the glass of herbs on the sink, I didn’t hesitate to gulp it down. It was bitter, but to achieve what I wanted, I drank it all before settling into the bathtub.

In no time, my eyelids could no longer stay open. I fell into a deep sleep…

As expected, I appeared in the same cave, re-watch the same scene. My heart couldn’t help but break for the man as he wailed.

“No, this can’t be happening. Arya, talk to me. Say something, damn it!”

I peer at the woman who died with a smile on her face and felt depressed. This couple could have had a wonderful life, but their love ended this way. It’s truly tragic.

My eyes went back to the baby, only to see her gazing at me. Though I knew she could see me, I still felt surprised. I smiled at her, then focused on my main reason for coming here.

Just as I was thinking about this, I heard footsteps, not one, but many. It sounded like soldiers marching on a battlefield. Soon after, the air suddenly became tense. Even I found it hard to breathe. I glance at Damon, but he doesn’t seem to notice. He was clutching his wife’s hand, mourning her death.

Deciding to go check it out, I left the cave. The scene I saw there had me speechless. There were hundreds, no… Thousands of people matched and surrounded the area. I realize something after a few more minutes. That they are not just men, but werewolves and vampires. What the heck is going on?

Why are they here?

Two powerful vampires walked in the cave’s direction. My mind seems to have figured they came for Damon and Arya. I panicked and rushed back to Damon.

“Hey! You need to get out of here! Carry your child and leave, quickly!” I yelled, forgetting that he couldn’t hear me.

With a sigh, I moved towards the baby and could watch helplessly from the side.

“We know you are in there Alpha Damon! Hand over Queen Arya and you shall live! We will let bygone be bygone.” The vampire at the entrance said.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Damon didn’t seem to hear them. His body kept trembling as he cried on Arya’s body.

The Vampire’s words stunned me. Queen? She’s a vampire Queen?

“We will give you twenty seconds to bring her out, else we will charge in! Don’t even think about escaping. You are surrounded!”

They waited. Unfortunately, Damon didn’t move. When they realized he wasn’t coming out, they charged into the cave.

I was afraid for the baby on the ground and wanted to protect her. If they caught her, wouldn’t they harm her?

Only, when I veered around, I found an elderly woman carrying the baby. I blinked in surprise. Where did she come from? It’s like she just appeared out of nowhere.

My eyes darted to the vampires who just walked in – staring at their queen in shock. They didn’t seem to notice the baby. It then occurred to me that the woman might be a witch! A freaking witch. I gasped.

I’ve never come across one, but I could tell she did a concealment spell, making it hard for the vampires or anyone to see them.

My mind calmed knowing that the child is safe. I focused my attention on the vampires in front of me.

“Y- you killed her! You murdered our Queen!”

One of the vampires said while cursing. The other became furious, stepped forward, and tried to push Damon away from her.

His actions caused Damon to slowly raise his head and give them a murderous look. Even I, who was standing at the side, felt chills running down my spine.

Not good!

Damon seems to have gone crazy!

The vampires also realize this, but before they could take a step back, Damon has already appeared behind them. The next minute, their heads fell off from their body.

They died without even knowing how it happened.

Damon didn’t stop at that, he picked their heads up then headed out of the cave. I ran after him, my heart thumping in fear.

‘You can’t go out! They’ll kill you I thought.

Another thought came into my mind. Will I be able to live after watching the person I love dies in front of me? The answer is no! There will be no point in living. It must be the same for Damon, he wants to end his life. Judging from the crazed look in his eyes, he isn’t concerned about his child anymore.

I paused at the entrance of the cave and watched as Damon threw the vampire’s heads at them.

For a minute, no one moved, a few seconds passed before the vampires let out a loud cry of battle and charged towards Damon with killing intent while the werewolves stood still.

Damon did not shirk in fear, rather he began fighting and killing with his claws. He was like a mighty warrior on the field.

The more he killed, the more vampires come at him.

He fought for hours continuously. However, Damon was only one man with thousands of armed vampires as his opponent. His strength weakened gradually, making it easier for the vampires to get to him. In no time, a vampire struck Damon on the leg, another, on his sides. Like they wanted to slowly tear him apart. Yet, Damon kept fighting. It’s as if he wasn’t feeling the pain.

A vampire finally struck Damon in the chest causing him to fall on his knees. My heart skipped when Damon’s eyes met mine, there was a sly smile on his face.

Oh, wait! He can’t be looking at me, right? No, he must be looking at the cave, where his Arya is. Tears rolled down my eyes for him.

The vampire, behind him, raised his sword. Just when he wanted to cut off Damon’s head, I closed my eyes, unable to watch.

When I opened my eyes, the scene seems to have changed. Instead of the battlefield, I stood at a walkway in the human world. A familiar woman appeared in my line of sight holding a baby. It’s the witch.

I frowned, wondering what the witch was up to.

After wrapping the baby up in thick clothes, she continued walking until she went to a quiet area. She found a dumpster and gently laid the baby in it, thus she left.

I grinded my teeth in anger. How could she just dump the baby? Is she crazy? What’s the point in saving the baby in the first place?

I scurried towards the dumpster only to see the baby smiling, not knowing that she might die if no one finds her soon.

No one noticed the baby throughout that day, I was beginning to panic for the baby. Fortunately, a lady came with a trash bag that evening.

My heart stopped for a while as I stared at the woman in shock. “Mother?” Though it’s the younger version of her. I wanted to go hug her because I’ve missed her so much. I wanted to cling to her, tell her everything I’ve been through since she died, I never thought I’d see her again. At the same time, I wanted to see if she’d save the baby.

The woman was just about to throw the trash into the dumpster when she noticed an unusual movement in it.

Silva peeked inside the dumpster in astonishment. “A baby.”

Instead of taking the baby with her like I expected, to my disappointment, she threw the trash bag and ran away as fast as possible as she wanted nothing to do with the child.

She paused halfway, contemplating what to do. After making her decision, she came back dejectedly, carried the baby in her arms.

“Hello there, who left you here?”

The baby giggled, stretching her chubby hands.

Silva seems to fall in love with the child, she gave a sad smile and touched her face.

“You, I’ll call you Delaney.”

…

My eyes snapped open immediately after hearing that. I glanced around me in a daze, realizing I’m still in the bathtub. I don’t know how long I’ve been in it, the water which was hot has now become cold.

Thinking about the dream I had just now, my heart felt heavy. My birth mother is not Silva but Arya, Queen of Vampires, and my father…

I gulped hard, does that mean I’m not human? I’m both! A werewolf and a Vampire. A hybrid. A scene of my strange actions in the past flashed through my mind – one of me attracted to blood…

“Oh my God, this can’t be happening.”
