The Alpha King's Condemned Mate

Chapter Three_Strip!

I had my eyes fixed on the spot where my claws just dug in, my heart in my stomach. Blood trickled rapidly from it.

Glued to my feet I didn't move one bit. Then I heard him move towards me. With a blood-stained finger, he lifted my chin up to face him. My eyes fell on his broad shoulders unable to go past there.

I could feel my whole body warm up to his touch and under his hot scrutinizing gaze.

Then he brought his wrist forward as we watch the blood disappear, the deep cut closing in immediately. I released my breath, not realizing how long I have been holding it.

I am no longer Sonia Sanders of the Ace Moon Pack. I felt like I just woke up from a trance. Everything was happening so fast I could hardly contain the dozen emotions within me.Then the alpha King's voice jolted me back to my senses again.

"I declare you young lady, a member of the alpha king's Pack. As a member of my pack, I hereby declare all case against you transfered and you, Rex Crane, will unhinderly provide me with all details I need in the course of the investigation within twenty-four hours. Am I understood?!" Alpha king Deryk declared.

"Y..yes your majesty" Rex responded, sounding like he has been suffering from long term flu. His face turned blue and I saw veins popped up on his forehead.

"I hereby dismiss this gathering" he finalized without further ado. A general scram for the door ensued as everyone wanted out of the hall. Being in the presence of the alpha king was more than suffocating.

I took a step and immediately froze when the alpha king addressed me, halting me by name. How did he know my name? No voice has ever uttered my name in such tone before. Everything about the alpha king exudes power, might and authority. Hearing him say my name now made tiny busts of energy explode within me.

"Stay back" he said coldly.

"This..this way your majesty, you have come a long way and you have come to the most hospitable ho.." Rex was about to say as he held his hands in front of the alpha king, ready to escort him, but was immediately cut short for the umpteenth time.

"Save that hospitality for your pack, Rex, looks like they need it most" Alpha king Deryk stated.

"Show me to my quarters, my men will take it from there" he ordered.

"Yes your majesty" alpha Rex's eyes darted my way. Our eyes locked. The hatred, fury and disgust towards me was clearly shown in his eyes. "Now get going, you there" he snapped at me, losing a hold on himself.

"She belongs here with me. Know your place Rex. Do not overstep your bound. Now lead the way, will you!?" The alpha king's voice intercepted, though cold and calm, I didn't miss the warning tone it was laced with.

The alpha king headed for the door while Rex trailed beside him. He reached the door and held it opened for him as we stepped out. I could feel Rex drenched in humiliation.

Six hefty-looking men with faces half-covered in black mask stood lined up outside in waiting. I immediately guessed they were the alpha king's men.

The all bowed in sync at the sight of him, then followed closely behind us.

I had my head deep-bowed while we walk. Immediately, I felt heads turning sharply to look at us, at me. Even without saying a word, I can make a mental note of what went through their mind. I didn't look up one bit.

We turned sharply to the left and trodded on the walkway whose sides were lined with flower plants and trees of various kinds leading to the pack's special guest house.

"Send in all the evidence condemning the young lady and those which tried to vidicate her" the alpha king ordered at once, when we are inside.

I stood quietly at the side of the door trying hard to be unnoticed by the two but Rex wouldn't back down in his effort to tear me away from the alpha king.

"How dare you come in here with the alpha king? Have you lost your mind?" He fired, motioning toward me in fury now more than ever.

Just then, troops of maids entered carrying large trays of all sorts of refreshments for the alpha king and clothes trolley brought in by the male servants. They carefully set it aside on the broad mahogany table in the middle of the room.

"I will be attended to none other but the young lady. So I want her around at my beck and call. Now if you will excuse me. I will make do with some privacy" the alpha king said dismissively.

Privacy? What does he mean by privacy?

I could feel Rex's hot breathe of rage fanning me as he bowed his head submissively without a word and stormed out of the room past me. The servants followed suit.

The silence that ensued made me hold my breath, for even breathing freely felt like an offense before the alpha king.

He pulled off his shirt casually to reveal the towering broad body that was hidden under his clothes moments ago. Chills crawled under my skin.

It's getting dark now and the dim light from the lamp on the table beside the bed flickered on his burrowed skin with lines of scars which criss crossed his skin, like it was perfectly drawn by a skilled artisan.

I was awe-stricken. The urge to trace my fingers along those lines enveloped me. I shook my head. I must be going crazy. This is the alpha king and I am nothing but a slave whose life he saved out of pity. How dare such a thought creep into my mind?

As a wolf, being naked before another Wolf is a very ordinary thing to do as one may shapeshift to their human form naked with absolutely nothing on them. The alpha king must be very much used to this I guess.

"How do you feel about it?" The alpha king's voice broke into my private thought.

How do I feel about what? I felt like he has seen right through me. I blinked in confusion. How is he able to form a mindlink so soon? Then I realised, I had drawn blood from him with my claw and I'm now part of his pack.

"How do you feel about being a member of my pack?" He asked coldly again, sensing my perplexed state.

His hands were now working on his trouser as he hastenly pulled the belt out and dragged them down. I flinched, darting my gaze away at once.

The sound of my loud heavy breath was the only sound I could hear in the quiet room.

I thought I heard a scoff and then rustles of clothes. I dare not look as I swallowed hard. Suddenly I imagined how large his girth would be down there. And how it will feel inside me. Lyta growled restlessly in response.

Oh goddess, this is wrong. I slapped myself hard mentally shaking my mind off it.

"I am reborn new and I owe this new life of mine to you, your majesty" I replied, my head still lowered, not certain if I have said the right thing.

I sincerely owe this life of mine to the alpha king and it is his to do whatever he wishes to, with it.

He suddenly closed in on me by the door, stark naked! I could feel the heat of his body close to mine. I staggered back a step and felt my back come in contact with the door. His breathe mixed with mine as he drew his face closer, peering in my eyes. My eyes fell on his lips making me gulp hard.

I felt my n*****s harden against the fabric covering my chest. The arousal of my body to every movement made by the alpha king right from inside the grand hall till now, was instantaneous.

His gaze burn through my skin. I screamed within and Lyta stirred in overwhelming desire resisting the urge to look down.

Goddess let me not make a fool of myself here.

"How would it feel to come with me to my palace as my new concubine?"
