Mated To The Ruthless Alpha King

New Home

Damon Kalesto was sitting on a small stool in his living room. His eyes were glued to something or

rather someone who had taken his breath away in one swift motion. He studied her every feature, from

the long lashes on her eyelids down to the almost unnoticeable pimple at the side of her lips. He knew

that it was a creepy thing to do, but he couldn't help himself. She was just too beautiful not to admire.

He noticed everything including how her small, button nose twitched whenever she shifted and how her

lips protruded into a pout every once in a while....his eyes caught every single detail and imprinted it all

in his mind. Everything about her, he wanted to know. Everything she did before she met him, he

wanted to know. Everything...just everything.

He had been entrapped since the very moment he laid eyes on her. Her blue eyes had pulled him in

with ease and he fell deep into her abysses. He knew exactly what that dazed, inebriated feeling

meant...she was his mate.

After what happened ten years ago, he had been so sure that his chances of ever having a mate was

zero, but now, it was shocking to see that he actually had one...not that he wanted one in the first

place.

The thing was, he wasn't very fond of the mate thing. He thought of it as an unfortunate string that tied

together two random souls that aren't really meant to be. Plus, nobody had the right to tell him what to

do...not even the Moon Goddess who created him. He alone must decide his fate....who to love and

who to despise, who to protect and who to kill.

However, now that he got a firsthand taste of the mate bond, he had a totally different view. It was the

first time in a long while since he had ever felt so intrigued and attracted to a woman. When they had

been staring at each other, he didn't want the experience to end, but then, before he could even open

his mouth to speak to her, she had blacked out.

He was angry at the fact that he didn't get to hear her voice. He was angry at the fact that he had been

living in such luxury while she had been living under harsh conditions. And lastly, he was angry at the

fact that she was filled with cuts and bruises all over her body. All he was desperately waiting for, was

her confirmation that the Human Trade workers had done this to her. That was all he needed to wipe

them all out in the blink of an eye. From now on, anyone who dared to touch, hurt or even look at her,

would feel his wrath.

"Damon~" Alexis; one of his sex slaves, came bouncing into the room. Damon casted an irritated

glance at her for a split second before placing his full attention back on his mate. She pouted but didn't

say anything about it.

"I have never seen a werewolf who is mated to a human." She started to say, whilst eyeing Sarah with

a disgusted yet envious glint in her eyes. "How is this even possible?"

Damon clenched his jaw. Who did she think she was to question him when he too didn't even know the

answer nor did he want to know! He didn't care about why and how, he just knew that she was his

mate...nothing else mattered.

Alexis jolted as soon as she saw his deadly glare. That look in his eyes only meant danger and she

knew it. Without another word, she shuffled out of there with her tail between her legs. But as she was

turning the corner, she mumbled something that she thought Damon didn't catch. "Don't come crying

when you meet the same doom like ten years ago..."

But Damon had heard every word and he was livid. He had the urge to crush her face with his bare

hands but he didn't dare to ruin his moment with his mate. Alexis could stay for later...after all, she can

never leave this house so he had all the time in the world to rip her to pieces.

An hour after solely sitting and watching her, Sarah finally stirred awake. She opened her eyes to an

unfamiliar ceiling, the fresh air drifting into her nose feeling very foreign to her senses. Bright light was

escaping through the window and touching her skin delicately, leaving it glistening before Damon's

onlooking eyes.

With all these unfamiliar things taken into consideration, Sarah soon realized that she was not in her

cell.

She jolted into a sitting position and was about to turn her head in the direction where Damon was

sitting, when she felt his warm breath tickle the skin of her neck. She immediately stiffened, breath

hitched and heart beat quickening.

Damon's nose nuzzled into her, sniffing as it travelled along her neck. "Hmmm," he hummed against

her, basking in her delicious lotus flower scent. The first thing he wanted to do, was to ask her how she

got the bruises on her skin, but he tried to refrain from doing so. It was better to make her feel

comfortable first before asking her anything about herself nor what happened at that dungeon.

When silence reigned for too long, he took one last whiff of her scent then looked up at her

questioningly. Seeing the anxious look on her face and the dark shade of red that coated her cheeks,

he leaned back a bit and reluctantly pushed his stool further outwards to give her some well-needed

space. He was heavily irritated by the far proximity but he willed himself to bear with it for her sake.

Sarah finally released the breath she had been holding and turned to look at him slowly, her mind filling

with dread. His voice already gave her an idea of who he was, but when she turned and looked at him

for a second time, she couldn't help but feel bombarded by his unmatchable beauty. Just like before,

she unknowingly paid no attention to the fact that he knew she was staring at him and continued to do

so on impulse, feeding her desire to capture his features into her memory.

"Speak," Damon demanded, his nonchalant, authoritative tone instantly grasping her attention. He was

getting tired of waiting for her to say something when it seemed as if she wouldn't be speaking anytime

soon. He desperately wanted to hear her voice and as such, curiosity was about to devour him.

Sarah mentally slapped herself. She was so busy ogling him that she had completely forgotten that she

was in an unfamiliar place. "Where am I?" She asked frantically, finally taking a glance around the Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

room. The house was more large and spacious than anything she had ever seen before, so her awe

was bound to have been at great heights.

She was sitting on a grey couch that could probably be passed off as a bed because of how large and

comfy it was and in front of her, a glass table separated it from another of its size and colour. On the

grey walls, there were numerous paintings of wolves and such, and the shelves to her left was filled

with a mix of books and trophies. The space seemed somewhat empty but Sarah couldn't help but be

mesmerized despite that.

"This is your new home." Damon told her, watching her intently as her eyes circulated. He definitely

liked how impressed she looked. If it took only this to wow her then he could only imagine how happy

she'd be to see the rest of the mansion.

"My home? Why am I here? Did something happen after I passed out? Have I done something wrong?"

Her awe was gone and she was getting worried now. She didn't know what was happening nor how

great of a problem she was in. "Whatever it is, I'm sorry! I was just feeling a little dizzy at th-"

Damon pressed his finger to her lips without hesitance, halting her rant immediately. "I am the Alpha

King and I chose you. From now on, you are my possession, mine to keep and mine to protect. You will

stay by my side, Sarah...where my eyes can always reach you."

Tingles sprouted at her lips and spread across her skin, then once again, her heart took speed.
