The Alpha King’s Possession

Chapter 34

34. His Proposition

MORGANA

I glared at him, knocking his hand away, hating the tingles that he left on my lips.

“Don’t touch me.” I hissed, slamming my fork on the table as I pushed my chair out and stood up crossing my arms.

“Morgana.” His deep voice was low, I did my best to ignore the way it made me feel.

I turned my back on him, right now I didn’t want to see the arrogant jerk. I felt the heat from his body behind me and I quickly turned around, raising a finger in warning.

“Don’t touch me.” I warned.

“Morgana, can we talk? Man to woman, without our race, rank or anything else coming in between?” He asked quietly.

“The Alpha King wants to talk?” I scoffed.

“Please.”

I narrowed my eyes at him. Now what game was he playing?

“Talk, I’m listening.” I said, moving away from him and perching on the windowsill, crossing my legs.

TO

Resisting a roll of my eyes when his eyes trailed over my legs, his eyes flashing gold. “You have five minutes.” I said, tapping my foot.

He ran his fingers through those tight curls of his and the urge to touch the tight ringlets was tempting, I wouldn’t deny that.

“Fine…” He said, stepping closer. He looked down at me, playing with a bracelet he was wearing. “Look, you are my mate, I won’t fucking deny that I do want you by my side…”

I looked at him sharply.

Yes, I knew that he wanted me for sex.

sex.

“As… my Luna.” He muttered. I saw the guilt in his eyes and I wondered if he was feeling bad about Sage again?

My heart skipped a beat when I realised what he was saying. ‘As his Luna.’

What?!

“Excuse me?” I asked, shocked.

He smirked sexily and placed his foot on the ledge next to me, resting his elbow on it as he

leant down. His intense gaze pierced into me.

“You heard me. I want you as my Luna, by my side.”

I tried not to let those words make me feel lightheaded.

“Won’t your people have an issue with that? Something is definitely off about this.” I asked suspiciously.

“I talked to a few of my men that I’m closest to… It seems you’ve impressed one or two already ” His eyes flashed, and I smirked. Was he actually jealous?

“Aww, is the Alpha jealous?” I whispered, leaning forward slightly as I stared up at him, batting my lashes, knowing I was giving him an eyeful of my breasts.

“You’re mine, as much as you hate me, it doesn’t change that you are mine alone.” He said possessively, sending an odd rush of pleasure to my core.

Yes, I was seriously messed up. I hated him, I hated the way he treated me… Yet I got satisfaction in the pull he had to me… The way he couldn’t resist me… The way he thinks I’m his…

“Anyway, I want you to be my Luna. However… this kingdom won’t accept you if I said you are my mate…” He moved away and I could sense the conflict in him.

I became serious too, frowning at his back, waiting for him to continue and trying not to look a this ass. Damn this man was fine…

“They know of the treaty I made with the Sanguine Empire… I was thinking if I introduced you at the summit officially, let them know that I’m taking you as my queen, it would work in both my favour and theirs. Mine to know I have my mate by my side and theirs to know that w e have the princess of the Sanguine empire by our side, which will ease their restlessness about the attacks that are occurring on our kingdom and perhaps let them feel assured that it may not be vampires. A political union to calm the rising tensions.”

It was too much to take in. He wanted me as his queen? But more than that, what got to me was the mention of attacks on the kingdom. If their kingdom didn’t stop us from getting

supplies, there wouldn’t even be any conflict…

Suddenly, the plan for revenge seemed to falter. What if… What if I did accept this position? What if I could actually benefit from helping my people? I knew Azrael’s spur of the moment submission to Kian was out of fear. He was a coward, even his agreeing to peace was just a way to make his own life easier.

What he needed to do was wager and talk about conditions because we needed supplies and crops but instead, he just agreed like that and gave his own sister away.

I know Cain offered me an escape and a peace treaty if Kian was killed… but to be completely honest, I didn’t have concrete proof that Kian had killed my father or had him killed. I needed to ask him that, I needed answers, and above all, I needed to make sure I didn’t rush my

decision…

What would a true ruler do? Seek revenge or help their people? I smile internally, oh father would be disappointed if I even pondered on that. No matter how hard the right path is, or how difficult it is, we must walk it… right?

I did want revenge for my father’s death, and I would seek out the truth…

If he was offering me the position of queen, I should take it. Whatever decision I made ultimately, this would benefit me. I would get to be closer to him, if I needed to kill him, I would be able to lower his guard if I accepted this position… I wanted in on the strategy of the kingdom, I would have more power as queen rather than as a slave that was kept in the kitchens or bedroom… My only fear was that I might become too emotionally invested. Would I be able to defy the mate bond pull?

“Kian…”

I turned towards him, seeing he was observing me intensely.

“If I’m queen… It does not mean you get a pass to become intimate with me.” I narrowed my eyes, and he smirked.

“Of course not.” Although he said it, he was smirking like an asshole. Did he actually think he would get more? “So, do you agree?”

He closed the gap between us, and I hated how my heart raced.

“That soon? I don’t think so. We have a lot to discuss, starting with Sage.”

That made his mood darken, he frowned.

“What about her?” He asked.

“Does she know?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Does it matter? She knows you are my mate. Her opinion doesn’t matter.”

I frowned, shaking my head.

“Well then, I decline your offer.” I said, crossing my arms and turning my back on him.

I would NEVER be the other woman, I would never steal someone else’s man from them, mate or not. If Kian wanted to do this, he needed to do it the proper way. Even if we were just going t o be a business deal, although I knew he wanted more, I had my own plan. I also knew there was a chance that something may happen, and if it did… I was not going to be a sidepiece or b e the woman who was using another woman’s man. Yes, I made the mistake once, but I couldn’t do that to someone.

“Look, Sage is nothing to me, not anymore. I won’t lie, to start with I thought I’d get over this, over you. But I can’t and I’m not going to shy away from that. I fucking want you and you alone, since you’ve come here, I have not kissed or fucked anyone else. You don’t need to

worry about her.”

I cocked a brow, whirling around. Was he for real?

“Do you really not get it? This isn’t about me worrying about something happening between you two! This is me not liking the fact that you are trying to play two women?! She was here first, and hell will freeze

over before I ever agree to be the other damn woman…” I trailed off, m y heart thundering when I realised that he was staying silent.

Fuck. How could I have been so stupid? He DID want me to be the other woman… Fuck.

“Kian, you didn’t have any plan of getting rid of Sage, did you?” I asked quietly.

e

He looked away and for some reason that really fucking hurt. Damn it, why the hell did he have this hold on me? Hiding my hurt I shook my head.

“No, I refuse. I will never accept you as my king.” I said coldly.

He frowned deeply, closing the gap between us and cupped the back of my neck, his thumbs caressing my cheeks. Tingles coursed through me, as much as I wanted to close my eyes and relish in the warmth of his embrace, I couldn’t.

“Morgana, look, hear me out. People will want a werewolf Luna… If I want you-”

I pulled away roughly slapping his hand away.

“It’s all or nothing when it comes to me Kian, the rest is your damn choice. If you think that I’m going to agree to this, then you really don’t know me! Besides… who said I even want you! Carry on pleasing your people, make Sage, who WANTS you, your queen! Because I will never be yours.” I snapped, anger flaring inside of me.

I was done with him, I was about to leave when my gaze fell to the necklaces around his neck. My heart thudded when I realised one of the several chains held a few tiny keys.

Were they for the diaries?

Remaining smooth, I tossed my hair and turned away. Storming out of the room in anger, but I didn’t get far, suddenly he grabbed my arm slamming me up against the wall. I gasped at the impact. His entire body was crushed up against mine, sending my stomach fluttering crazily as he pressed my wrists to the wall.

“Don’t say that. If Sage is the fucking problem, then fine… I’ll end it with her.”

His words shocked me and my heart was thundering, I didn’t get it… Why did he seem so… desperate? I narrowed my eyes, looking into his hazel ones, trying to hear his thoughts.

The shrill sonic sound filled my head and then I was past it.

….can’t lose her, I fucking need her Thanatos…’

‘We do need mate; this is the best decision! Now apologise!’

I almost smiled at that; Thanatos really was the sweet one.

“I want you, Morgana. Fuck the fact you’re a vampire or that you have a fucking attitude that pisses me off. I still want you.” He murmured, making my core knot. My chest was heaving and I was very aware of his body against mine, aware of his hard muscles, his firm abs and the bulge in his pants.

He leant closer and I turned away, but he wasn’t fazed. His lips touched my neck, sending a rivet of pleasure through me. I bit my lip. Why was my body reacting this way? I just…

He sucked on the skin softly, a sigh escaped from my lips as his lips brushed my neck, but he didn’t push me further, pulling away. His eyes met mine and it threw me off, seeing the emotions in them.

“I’ll talk to Sage first thing in the morning. You can take my room, I’ll take another.”

He turned, walking towards the entrance door. My heart was racing and my legs felt weak, but above all, the realisation that he had just agreed had shocked me the most.

He was choosing me.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
