Accidentally Marked By The Alpha King

Harlyn

I rushed down towards the main palace in fear of what might become of me.

I made a mistake today and it might lead to me either getting scolded which would be the lesser punishment for what I did or getting sent to the dungeon to receive at least ten lashes of cane.

It was a horrific experience that I never wanted to happen to me.

That's why I always made sure to do all my work on time and make sure to answer as soon as I am called but today, I made a mistake.

I was called to the king's chamber but before I could go, Princess Sophie, the alpha king's younger stepsister called me and made me wash her feet which took longer than I expected.

I thought she would at least tell her brother that she was the one that requested for me but she didn't say anything and now I am going to face a very angry alpha king.

Alpha Benardo is the alpha of the crimson moon pack and is known to be ruthless and unforgiven. Not only was he an alpha but he was king too.

Many years ago, his forefathers had settled on the hills of Crimson and built a community that quickly grew wide and over the years, the royal family, as they came to be known, ruled the pack that grew in numbers to the point of becoming a whole kingdom which also became so powerful that no other packs stood a chance.

Bernardo took over as king at a very young age after his father was killed in a war that almost broke the kingdom apart. The same war that led to me becoming an orphan.

I didn't know who my mother was because I never met her but my dad raised me until he was killed at war and I had to go into an orphanage until I was of age.

Because of how big our pack became, the alpha now had to choose betas who took care of various sub-packs within the pack but they all answered and reported to the alpha king.

If one gets banished from the pack, then that person has to leave the crimson moon completely and I have heard of Benardo banishing a pack member before. However, he deserved it because he took the life of his mate and their unborn child.

Ever since I started working in the palace when I turned nineteen, I did my best to avoid Benardo and succeeded for seven years because I worked under the queen's mother who sadly passed away nearly a year ago and since then, I have been exposed to the worst treatment ever.

I didn't know just how much the Queen mother shielded me until she passed away and I was made to face the cruelty of everyone who lived within the palace and even from people who lived outside the place.

I am an outcast in the crimson moon pack and the fact that I am wolf-less made everything worse for me.

I couldn't fight back because I had no power. The moon goddess didn't see me worthy of anything, not even my parents.

I shook off the thoughts of my sad reality out of my mind as I made my way to the king's chamber.

Even though I worked in the palace for eight years now, this would be the first time that I would be facing the king.

Like I said, I avoided him as much as I could. Not because of anything else but because of what people said about him and how easy it was for a woman to fall for his charms.

And yes, I fell for his charms even though I never interacted with him personally.

I wondered how he knew my name to request for me. The palace was very huge and there were hundreds of people working for the royal family so it was easy for me to get lost in the mix and not be noticed.

Until one of the other palace workers had told me the king wanted to see me, I actually thought he didn't know of my existence.

"Think on the bright side, you get to meet your crush,"

My wolf voiced. Yes, I had a wolf, but no one knew I had one because I couldn't transform. Even though I couldn't transform, my wolf came alive when I turned twenty and she has been my best friend ever since.

She was too weak to come out but she had a sassy voice and always had something smart and crazy to say.

"That's if he doesn't kill me for not showing up on time,"

I answered and straightened my posture when I got closer to the king's chamber.

"The Alpha requested to see me,"

I said to the guard at the entrance of the alpha king's chamber. He looked at me like I was crazy.

"Are you trying to lie just to get into the king's chamber because he left a while ago and he never said anything about anyone coming to see him,"

He said. Well, maybe he waited and left when I didn't show up. there was no way for me to prove that I really got called by the alpha so I turned to leave.

As I walked away, I heard the guard whistle. I knew why. I had a very nice and attractive body that always called for attention whenever I got near anyone and that felt like the moon goddess' way of compensating me for everything else that I didn't get.

Being so attractive drew attention to me sometimes that I didn't want and I resulted in covering up my shape with bigger dresses and skirts. But that barely did anything. I had fair and smooth skin that didn't need skincare to be flawless, the only thing in my body that felt off was the birthmark on my right shoulder.

No one except the ones at the orphanage who cared for me when I was younger knew about my birthmark. I didn't know what it signified but when the dead queen mother saw it one time when I was changing, she told me I was special. Of course, I didn't believe her.

I was odd, not special. Special would be me having divine powers but I didn't have any of those. All I had was a wolf who couldn't make an appearance.

"Why am I dragged into it?"

She smirked. I rolled my eyes.

"You know, I can help you if you do what I want. No one will know you were in the king's chamber,'

The guard called out. I turned around to ask him what he meant and got the idea when I saw the expression on his face. He was licking his lips and trying to flirt with me.

"No, thank you. I will just come back when the alpha shows up,"

He didn't like that I turned down his offer and glared at me. I turned around to walk away again but collided with a hard chest.

I looked up to see who I had collided with and my breath caught in my throat, I tried to get away but he placed his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I gasped.

Harlyn

"Your Highness,"

I managed to say. He looked at me, maybe trying to figure out who I was. I couldn't say anything else as his hazel eyes searched mine. I was drowning in those eyes. He was beautiful.

I knew this was the only time I would ever be this close to him so I let my eyes wander around his handsome face. Taking every feature of his godlike face in and marveling at how someone could be so beautiful.

"Harlyn? Are you there? Hey?"

I came back from the trance his heavenly face had sent me to and heard him calling out my name. He knew my name.

"Your Highness,"

I managed to say. He finally let me go and I put a distance between us to enable me to think.

"You called for me,"

I said while bowing down. my hands were shaking. This was the closest I had ever been to the king.

"I called you hours ago, why are you just showing up?"

I felt the fear rise in me as he spoke.

"I, I, I am sorry my king, I was doing other chores,"

"What chores are more important than coming to see me?"

He fired at me. Not angrily but firm enough for me to shake in fear. I couldn't tell him that it was his stepsister who kept me waiting, that would only get me in trouble with Princess Sophie who wouldn't hesitate to hit me when I get on her nerves even when I do nothing, she still hits me.

She was the worst. She and her best friend Ava, were my major enemies in the pack. They made fun of me and made me do things for them that were humiliating for me.

Their way of having fun always involved me getting hurt and there was nothing I could do. I couldn't fight the princess nor could I fight Ava who was the daughter of an influential family in the pack.

Ava always talked about marrying the king and making me a slave as if I wasn't already a slave to them. They knew I had a crush on the king because Sophie had found my diary and read it out loud to Ava and they both mocked me.

Telling me what I already know, that the king will never look at me. Ava even goes as far as telling me how the king fucks her and treats her after.

Sometimes, I get so jealous and cry myself to sleep but most times, I just tell myself that I won't ever have the king so why should I be sad?

"You haven't answered my question,"

The alpha let out. I looked up at him and quickly looked down in fear.

"I am sorry my king, it will not happen again,"

I promised. Hoping that he would let me off just this once. I didn't want to get punished.

"Let's go inside,"

He said and started walking towards his chamber. I stood there wondering why the king would invite me into his chamber.

"Aren't you coming?"

He called out. I couldn't say no. He was the alpha king, saying no to him would lead to me getting banished from the pack and I already knew I wouldn't be able to survive outside the pack.

I didn't know how to deal with humans and wasn't a werewolf enough to be accepted by a new pack. I was stuck in the Crimson moon pack and the best I could do for myself is behave so that I don't get sent away.

I walked up to the king who waited for me to get to him before he started walking again. The guard who I spoke to before greeted the king and the king instructed that no one disturb him.

I didn't know what was going to happen but I was scared out of my mind thinking I did something wrong that I didn't know of and was reported to him which was why he asked for me and now he was going to punish me by himself.

"Come on in,"

He said as we got to his room. He opened the door and I walked in first. He followed behind me and closed the door, making sure to lock it.

My heart skipped a beat when he locked the door. I looked at his huge room that could easily accommodate a family of six.

He walked ahead of me, taking off his robe. I stood there not knowing what was going to happen and what he was going to do to me.

"Come on,"

He instructed and I had no choice but to obey. He took off his shirt and I was blessed with the sight of his manly body with abs and muscles. If I wasn't so consumed by fear, I would have been ogling.

"Don't look so scared, I don't want to hurt you,"

He said but I refused to believe it. He had a predatory look in his eyes. Like he was ready to kill his prey and I was the prey.

The fear wasn't going anywhere and there was something else. Heat was building inside me as I took in his broad shoulders and lean waist.

He walked towards me and stood behind me, so close that I could feel his body heat and that made me even more hot.

Now I had a different fear. He placed his hands on my shoulders and put his mouth closed to my ears. I could barely breathe at this point and my legs were close to giving way.

"I have wanted to see you up close ever since I saw you three weeks ago,"

He whispered in my ears, I felt a thrilling sensation run through my body as he spoke in my ear. He was saying some things that were hard to believe.

He wanted to see me? He has been thinking about me for three whole weeks. I didn't even know he saw me.

"My king,"

I breathed when he kissed my ear. It was clear what he wanted from me and I was scared that I was going to give in so easily.

He had so much power over me that just his lips close to my ears was making me feel things I never felt before. I was twenty-six but I have never had a sexual encounter with anyone.

Not because I was keeping myself for anyone but because I have never found someone that I want to touch me in such an intimate way.

The only person I ever thought of was the king and right now, he was licking my ears and whispering things I couldn't make out. it was just crazy and felt like I was dreaming.

He turned me around to face him and I saw the desire in his eyes. The king wanted me, I never once thought that it would ever be possible for the alpha king of the crimson moon pack.

The biggest and strongest pack in the world would want me, a lonely wolf-less orphan who was more like a slave in the pack. It was hard to believe but the desire in his eyes was undeniable.

"I saw you that day and knew I had to have you, I waited three whole weeks for it to pass but it never did, I haven't desired someone so much the way I desire you, Harlyn, you bewitched me,"

He told me, his lips hovering over mine.

Harlyn

I couldn't think straight anymore and my wolf wasn't helping either, she was so ready to give in. If she could come out, this was the moment that she would have shown up because she was fighting so hard to surface.

I sucked in a breath as he pulled me closer to himself and his lips landed on mine in a hungry, wild, uncontrollable, and uncultured manner, feeding at my mouth and demanding entrance.

I opened my mouth and his tongue entered my mouth and our tongues danced together. This was my first real kiss in the twenty-something years of my life, the only time I had kissed someone before was when I was seventeen and it had ended horribly.

Now the alpha king was doing a good job erasing the horrible first kiss experience and replaying it with a steamy memory of the pressure of his mouth on mine as his hands tore the clothes I had on off my body and soon I stood before him, naked.

He took a step back to look at me and I heard his intake of breath. I couldn't believe I was the one doing the things to him, making him so wanton, my eyes went to his thigh area and I saw his erection outlined in his shorts.

It was so huge from just the shape and I feared that he might not fit into my tight virgin vagina.

"Wow, so beautiful, so perfect,"

He muttered, I looked at him directly and saw the lust in his eyes. I felt so powerful seeing his eyes filled with so much desire for me and the fact that he had thought of doing this for three whole weeks.

Not what I expected when I heard the alpha king wanted to see me but I wasn't complaining. I got a little bold with the way he was looking at me and reached out for him, he let me and I stood on my tiptoe and pressed a kiss to his lips.

He took over the kiss in the next minute and pushed me on the bed. He quickly took off his shorts and the huge dick came to life, licking with precum.

I had the sudden urge to stand up and lick the precum off but before I could do that, he was on the bed with me and he lifted my legs up and buried his face in my cunt, licking and sucking.

I fingered my fingers through his hair and grabbed hard when the sensation of what he was doing to me overtook me and I found myself shuddering and whimpering in pleasure.

He stopped his assault long enough to position himself right between my legs. He guided his huge dick into me and thrust in with one firm move.

"AHHH,"

I yelled as pain and pleasure shot through me at the invasion. He froze and looked at me worried.

"You are a virgin?"

He asked as if it was some kind of breaking news to him.

"Was, please don't stop,"

I told him and moved my hips.

"I don't want to hurt you, I didn't know before,"

He said. I knew he was worried but the pain was long gone and now I wanted him to do more to me and give me more pleasure.

"I don't feel pain anyone, please take me,"

I pleaded. He didn't wait to be told twice as he started thrusting in and out of me, fast and hard. I arched and met his every thrust as moans of pleasure escaped my mouth.

He bent down and kissed me hard and continued to fuck me hard. The sensation kept building and then I felt myself falling as the orgasm hit me hard and I screamed out his name. He came almost at the same time.

Not long after it ended, he rolled over and drew me closer to him again, he turned me so that I was facing him and kissed me like he didn't just have me a while ago.

I let him have his way, and before long, he was inside me again. he turned me around so that I was all fours on the bed with my arse up, he was behind me in seconds and walked his cock into me from behind.

"Yes,"

I moaned when he thrust home. As he thrust into me faster and harder. I felt his breath against the back of my neck, then I felt him sink his fang there.

I screamed as a mix of pain and pleasure shot through me, he didn't stop thrusting into me and continued to suck on my neck where he had marked me.

I arched backwards to give him more access and shuddered as white heat shot through my body, a deep intense pleasure tightening my muscles.

I gripped the sheets trying to hold myself to the bed. He continued to thrust fast and hard inside me and then I was falling apart, splintering, release, pleasure, pouring through the cracks, filling me and washing through me.

I dug my fingers into the bed, squeezing my eyes closed tight. I didn't even try to stop the sharp cry that was climbing my throat, I couldn't feel embarrassed that I was arching and moving against him with no control at all.

Because he was right with me, his entire body trembling, his fist gripping my hair, a low intense growl rumbling in his chest as he continued to thrust into me.

He found his release too and we both screamed out in pleasure and rode our orgasm together.

He stilled and collapsed on the bed next to me. I tried to leave the bed after but he pulled me closer to him, still breathing heavily.

"Get some sleep,"

He whispered and kissed me on the lips. I couldn't sleep, not when I kept thinking of what just happened.

The alpha king of the crimson moon pack just marked me as his. He made me his in every way. it was something I never dared to dream of and now it was the reality.

Marking me only met one thing. He was my mate and he branded me as his by putting his mark on me.

My wolf cheered within and I couldn't help the smile that crawled to my face. I felt alive. I felt content. This was it. The turning point of my life, where everything finally falls into place for me.

He was insatiable, not long after he told me to get some sleep, he woke me with his mouth on my cunt and once again made sweet, mind-blowing love to me.

That wasn't the only time, we finally fell asleep at about four am after many rounds.

I was woken the next morning by his kisses and I let him have me again. feeling joyous and wanted.

After we finished, he walked away naked to his bathroom and I lay there thinking about how my life was going to be better now. I was the mate of the alpha king which only means I am next to him.

Now no one would dare to treat me poorly. Not even his stepsister, Sophie, or her best friend Ava.

Now I had a higher rank than them in the pack. I was the alpha's mate. I snuggled into the bed, feeling his sweet smell and heat.
