6- The Royal Mages

Kaelen 

Vance loved dominating others. I could feel it when he threw me over his bed once again to mark me. When his dominance was my survival, it was also a challenge for my wolf. The more Vance tried controlling me, the more my wolf craved to make him kneel. 

"Tell me, little runt, what do you want?" Vance asked me, and I matched his sadistic smile with mine. 

Grabbing him by the back of his throat, I pulled him closer to me. My brown eyes glowed silver as I looked straight in his molten gaze. 

"I want you to fuck me, My Lord. After all, we can't have the royal mages know that Alpha Vance, the Executioner, gets controlled by a thrall." I whispered ruthlessly, and his eyes flashed dangerously at my words. 

Without a single warning, he leaned closer and sunk his teeth into my shoulders for the second time. I let out a grunt when he went deeper inside me. My fingernails scratched his back. I could feel a streak of blood oozing out of the bite mark, the intensity of the mark. 

"Remember your place, thrall." Alpha Vance growled against me, making me laugh. He dove in deeper to silence me, and it worked. 

The more roughly he fucked me, the more my wolf craved the power I was slowly consuming from him. But his fresh mark concealed every other scent and power. The beauty of Alpha power was now blinding me. 

Once Alpha Vance was satisfied, he released me. By the time we were done, Alpha Vance was left writhing and empty. I, however, was brimming with his remnant powers. But my power was masked by his forced Alpha mark. 

When my wolf wanted to reject his mark vehemently, I pleaded with him to let the mark stay for our survival. 

'One day I will fuck him so hard that he will know no one but us, Kaelen. And that day, I'll mark him with my bite. A powerful Alpha on his knees would be the most beautiful sight to see.' My wolf purred, licking his chops at his fantasies. 

Poor Vance has no idea what creature he had dragged to his bed to dominate.

The royal mages looked at Alpha Vance with fear and respect, but the same gaze was laced with disgust when they saw me. Their disrespect was getting under my skin. But more than that, it was getting under my wolf's skin. 

I could feel my wolf tugging on my core, wanting to be unleashed. He wanted to kill everyone in the room for disrespecting us. 

Tink. 

Tink. 

Tink. 

"Nothing except raw Alpha heat." The royal mages concluded as they kept the compass down, making me breathe in relief. 

 A part of me was scared that Alpha Vance's mark wouldn't be able to cover an Eclipse wolf's power. But surprisingly, despite being weak and drained, his mark managed to hide my reality.

"What else did you expect from a thrall like him? Hidden powers?" Alpha Vance mocked me purposely, and the mages laughed along with him, unaware of the fact that they were all fooled by us. 

"Orders from Lycan King Tristan must be abided by, Alpha Vance. Apologies for disturbing your time. You can continue taking your sacrificial mate." They apologized while bowing.

'One day they all will bow to us, Kaelen. One day they will only bow to us.' My wolf promised me from inside, and I smiled secretly. 

One day, for sure. 

I watched them disappear in the stone corridor before the heavy gates slammed shut, indicating their departure. It was only when they left that Alpha Vance dropped his act. His exhaustion returned, and he almost fell when I crossed the distance and held him protectively against my chest. 

"Leave me. I don't need your help!" His ego made him snarl, and I rolled my eyes at him. 

"Do you wish to let your royal ass meet the ground instead, My Lord?" I asked him sarcastically, and he glared at me, making me look at him with dark amusement. 

A powerless Alpha looked so adorable. 

"I will fucking kill you!" He threatened me, and I laughed loudly, shaking my head. 

Oh, sweetheart. Only if it were so easy to kill an Eclipse wolf. 

"But you saved me today." I reminded him with a smile, and he glared at me, but his exhaustion made him harmless.

His gaze dropped to the bite mark he forced upon me. I saw him reaching forward to gently touch the mark he gave me.

"That doesn't make us allies, runt." He said, looking straight in my eyes, and I chuckled, shaking my head. 

"I have a name, My Lord." I reminded him, and he raised his eyebrows at me. 

"And why do you think I find it important to know your name, runt? You're basically a nobody. And I am the top-tier Alpha Executioner. I don't trouble myself with names of nobodies like you." His words were demeaning and degrading. 

But his words were a mask for his indifference. Alpha Vance wasn't known for entertaining nobodies like me as he claimed. He would execute them the moment he got the pleasure out of them. But with me, he wasn't just entertaining my presence but also providing me with his powers willingly. 

"But you let a nobody like me consume your energy, My Lord." My dark voice made him look at me with intrigue. 

Smiling to myself, I gently held his face, letting my fingers brush his skin softly, almost like a feather, before I gripped his jaw tightly in my hold. 

"For a nobody, you took great effort to mark me so that it hides my scent." I continued, and I saw the lava fading from his eyes. 

He was very close to collapsing. 

"You're a fucking—"

"Kaelen." I interrupted him, and he looked at me questioningly. "My name. It's Kaelen." 

"Look, you little runt—"

"Next time you call me that in the privacy of your chambers, Vance, I'll fuck you raw and hard until you are on your knees. So remember my name well if you wish to keep your dominating side intact."
