Mated To The Alpha Kings

Chapter 22 Smells off



I instinctively move into him to pat his shoulder. At that moment, I don’t know if I should be embarrassed about what everyone just heard or be worried that Rakel is now consumed with jealousy. Oh, God, what should I do now? Deciding to use the only method I could think of, I began speaking to him in a hushed tone. “Now, now, calm down you big wolfy. Don’t you think it’s time to feed your… mate?” I asked, cringing mentally at the word.

Just like that, the anger vanished, he faced me with a frown “Big what?”

“You heard me, I’m hungry!” I said, fully knowing he wanted me to repeat the ‘wolfy’ part.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Haven’t you eaten today? I thought you cooked.”

I shrugged and glanced down at my fingers, “I did, but that’s for your guards. Furthermore, I don’t like eating so early in the morning, now are you going to feed me or should I go find Mira?”

He leans towards me “You know, there’s another part of my body that is very, big actually, not just my wolf. I can show you if you want, but, do you dare to look? Don’t worry, I won’t scream like you did when I saw yours.” He whispered in my ears causing me to flush all over.

I pushed him away, and when he wouldn’t budge, I backed away from him while staring at him in shock. Jeez, is there an end to his shamelessness? I can’t believe he just said that!

“You… You are so bad!” I scoff, gritting my teeth in anger.

Right then, Rakel did something that left everyone speechless. He laughed, like the belly kind of laughter. Earlier, I didn’t have the chance to watch his face when he was laughing but seeing him now, I saw how cute he looks when he laughs. His dark eyes light up beautifully making him look carefree, not like the usual cold look in his eyes.

He shook his head, took my hand, and began leading me into the hall. I totally forgot about the group of people for a moment, they were all gazing at me in wonder while gawking at Rakel like they are just seeing him for the first time.

Rakel stopped walking and faced them, “Everyone, this is Delaney, your Luna.”

I frown ‘Luna?’ I’ve heard Mira calling me that before.

I felt awkward and embarrassed when they bowed slightly. What now? Am I supposed to say something? Like ‘All rise? Or no, you may rise?’ Like how those stuck-up princesses usually do on TV?

I turned to Rakel with a questioning look. He shook his head and continued, “You guys shouldn’t worry about us, continue with what you were doing.” He stated and without another word, he dragged me to another room where there were lesser people, just five females.

Another huge guy strolled in, Rakel introduced him to be his Beta, Ten. Hmm, what a weird name.

Rakel left my side to speak with him at a corner. I’m sure they were speaking through the mind link, which is annoying the hell out of me. The ability seems cool, It’s far better than phones, but it’s frustrating when you won’t be able to hear conversations. I mean, someone might be cursing at you, but you would never know.

“… she smells off,” Ten said out loud, drawing my attention to them.

Rakel glanced at me, seeing me watching them, he told me he’d be back soon. I noticed his aura and expression have turned back to their original cold self. My brows couldn’t help but knit together in a frown as I wonder who they were referring to as ‘she’. Was it me? But how do I smell off?

No, I think they might be talking about something else entirely.

“Dear, come take a seat here. I’ll dish out your food for you. You guys actually came here at the right time.” A heavily pregnant lady said gently from behind the counter “I’m Jesse by the way. That red-haired lady over there is Tasha, blacked-haired are Jenny, Claire, and Diane.” She introduced herself while pointing at each of them.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you all.” I smiled. I must say I feel a little self-conscious standing in their midst since they all look so beautiful like those models you’ll see in articles. Although, none of them is putting on t-shirts like I am, which made me curse at Rakel one more time. They were all dressed in trousers, except for Jesse, who was putting on a maternity gown because of her baby bump.

Diane shook her head and pulled me to the group, “Nonsense, you don’t have to be polite here because we won’t be, now tell us all the juicy of everything that happened between you and our Alpha.”

“We want every detailed information.” Claire chimed in.

I shifted uncomfortably on my feet with the way they were looking at me. What the hell do they want me to say?

Fortunately, my tummy growled loudly, announcing that I’m hungry. I covered my tummy, mortified! While looking at the food on the table.

Jesse chuckled, “You girls should leave our Luna alone for now to eat before questioning her. I’m sure she’d feel uncomfortable with your bluntness, so how about we tell her a little about ourselves?”

They all nodded in agreement while I went to sit at the table. “What is Luna? Umm, you guys keep calling me that even though you all know my name.” I asked before they could start telling me about themselves.

Jesse set an orange juice in my front before replying” You being a mate to our Alpha makes you our Luna, you’ll help rule the pack alongside him but your work as a Luna differs from his.”

I blinked slowly, so now not only will I be Rakel’s mate, but I’ll also get to rule as a Luna? Hell no! I don’t want to be anyone’s Luna.

“I see, but you guys should call me Laney, please,” I said instead of what I had in mind.

“Sure thing.”

“Are you all mated?” I asked, looking at them curiously. I must say that they are nothing like I expected, they seem friendly, and they look genuinely happy to see me. When Rakel told me we were headed to the packhouse, I thought I’ll see a room full of wolves, but they are in their human form chatting and laughing care freely like humans. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought they were normal people like me.

“No, the only mated ones here are Jesse, Claire, and Diane. Jenny and Tasha are still searching for theirs.” A familiar voice answered. I turned to see Mira walking in with a knowing smile on her face.

” Mira!”

“Hi there Laney”

Tasha sighed “I wish I’m mated to Ten, he’s so hot!”

Jenny nodded, “Yeah, I heard he’s also good in bed. From what I’ve heard, he could give a girl release more than six times, and he’d still be energetic.”

Diane shook her head, “Well, I don’t wish for anyone except my mate, I love the way he dominates me in bed. Though I decided to try something new last night, we did a role-play of a doctor and a patient. He hated it because he had to be the patient.” she giggled.

Jesse rolled her eyes “You guys, stop talking about sex for God’s sake, it’s annoying because I won’t be getting some till this baby comes out, I have to wait for another month!” she said with a pout.

Everyone snickered, “Then tell Keith to help you out, I’m sure there are other ways to get a release, it’s not a must to have sex with him.”

“I wish I can convince him that easily, but the damn wolf is too scared to hurt his pup.” she sighed dramatically, rubbing on her huge stomach.

My face reddened with how freely they were talking about their sex life, I know I should be used to such things since my stepdad usually forces me to watch them, but I’m not. Maybe it’s because I haven’t experienced the real thing between a man and a woman.

“So Laney, what did you do to our Alpha?” Tasha asked, making everyone look at me curiously.

“Umm, nothing?” I shrugged.

“Hmm, the Alpha we know would never laugh with anyone, especially a woman! The only business he has with girls is to fuck them!” Diane exclaimed “uhh I mean to say, he hardly laughs with anyone” she added nervously.

“It’s okay, I have an idea of what Rakel used to be like, you don’t have to hide anything,” I said with a smile, even though I wonder why he’s different from me. ‘It’s the mate thing, he would have treated me differently if I’m not his mate.’ I thought.

I decided to lighten up the awkward atmosphere by changing the topic, “Is there a place I can shop for underwear? I’ll also need to get some stuff.”

This question made everyone giggle “You don’t need those Laney, you better wear what Rakel asked you to wear for the time being till he marks and claims you or else, he’d even be grumpier than he is right now. It must be really hard for him and his wolf not to claim you at the moment. Let me tell you something you don’t know, Rakel might be gentle when you’re around him, but his fellow wolves are the ones receiving the brunt of his frustration when you’re not around. Not mating with you is affecting him, the bond keeps getting stronger since by the day, this results in his wolf frustration, and it won’t be good when it gets to a certain stage.” Jesse explained slowly.

I blinked in surprise, “Really? It’s that bad?”

They all nodded and Jesse continued “Besides, we werewolves don’t usually wear those kinds of stuff, it hinders us from shifting whenever we want to, also our mates hate any obstruction in their way when we want to mate, so we do what Is best to make our mates happy.”

Oh, now I get it. The problem is, will I ever be ready to mate with him? I can keep wearing his clothes if it calms his wolf, but how long will that last?
