The Alpha King’s Possession

Chapter 43

43. A Discovery

KIAN

Night had fallen and although I wanted to question every fucking person, I couldn’t leave her. So I had the entire fucking castle searched, every room, guest or not, I didn’t care. If someone was trying to poison Morgana or me, they would pay.

For hours, nothing had been discovered, but then Luca had told me they had found a vial under the banquet table. After testing it, it had indeed contained the poison, but how it had gotten there was still fucking beyond me. So far, no other clue had shown up.

Sighing, I stared at the ceiling, I had brought her back to my room once the doctor had checked her over a final time and she was stable. The rest was up to her, I was just making sure she was getting the rest and blood she needed. I had taken the hospital gown off and pulled one of my shirts onto her, doing my best to keep her covered.

I kept seeing the flashes of her at the dining table, the way her body Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

‘Stop it Kian.’ Thạnatos’ growl came.

He had been so fucking silent too. The shock that we might have lost her was still fresh in our mind.

I’m fucking trying, Thanatos!

I pulled her against my chest, burying my nose in her neck.

‘She might be angry we marked her.’ I murmured in my mind.

‘We did it to save her!’ He shot back possessively. ‘Mate loves us!’

‘I don’t know if she does…’I said quietly.

But even if she didn’t, I’d fucking make her fall for me.

I don’t know when I had fallen asleep, but I awoke when I heard Morgana’s startled gasp. Her heart began to pound as she looked around, as if trying to comprehend what happened. “You’re ok.” I said quietly, loosening my hold on her slightly, just enough to make sure she got the air and space she needed.

She sat up. I placed a hand to her back, supporting her and she gasped again, her heart thudding as she pulled away from my touch.

“W-what was that?” She asked hoarsely.

“Hey, relax. You’re ok, you were poisoned.” I said quietly, feeling fucking guilty. I should have taken care of her… Instead, she almost fucking died.

“Poisoned…” She said, her heart thudded loudly, she raised a shaky hand to her forehead.

Her emotions were a mess and she looked distraught. I pulled her into my arms, making her

heart race once more.

“Why is your touch different?” She asked weakly, her head hitting my chest.

“Good different?” I asked, staring down at her.

Thank the fucking goddess that she was ok.

“Intense…” She whispered, looking up at me, her eyes were a light red.

“You need blood.” I said quietly. I didn’t mean whatever the doctors had tried to give her, butt o actually drink.

“You didn’t answer.” She whispered, her gaze falling to my neck. I looked down at her, my fingers combing her hair.

“You were going to die… The poison was lethal and you were too weak to fight it.” I said quietly. “So… I marked you to give you the strength you needed to fight.”

Her eyes stared into mine and for a few painful seconds, she stared at me blankly.

“God no…” She whispered, her heart thundering as she tried to pull away.

That fucking stung.

“Morgana…”

“No… No… Who told you to mark me!” She cried out, pulling herself to the edge of the bed and away from me as she felt her neck.

“It was that or you would have fucking died!” I growled.

“Then you should have let me!”

Thanatos growled.

‘Mate shouldn’t be angry… He practically whimpered.

Yeah, well, he didn’t get human emotions.

“You can hate me all the fuck you want, but I won’t let you die.” I said dangerously.

“Because you need me?” She asked quietly, her eyes blazing with anger.

“Yeah, I fucking do. I don’t give a shit what anyone thinks. I know I fucking hurt you, the way I brought you here and the way I treated you, but I…”

‘Say it.’

“I think I’ve fallen for you.” I said quietly just as she staggered off the bed, the shirt barely

covering her ass.

Her eyes widened as she stared at me, her heart thundering.

‘Fucking wuss.’ Thanatos muttered.

She shook her head.

“That is a mistake.” She whispered.

“It isn’t.” I said, getting off the bed as well.

“It is… Dammit it, don’t you get it? I told you…” She trailed off, placing a hand on the bedside cabinet weakly.

“I don’t care what you told me.” I said, walking around to her.

She rolled her eyes, and I almost smiled at the fact that, despite how weak she was, my sassy queen was still inside her.

“You are indeed a fool.” She said. “Is loving someone that easy? You and Sage were such a precious little couple, and now you think you can just fall for me? Seriously?”

“Can we not fucking talk about her?!” I growled. “That was nothing compared to what I feel for you. Can you stop being so fucking stubborn and get back to bed? You almost died. You need rest.”

With those words, I lifted her bridal style and placed her on the bed, adjusting the pillow under her head. I looked down at her, not missing the way her eyes were on my chest.

Did she know how fucking tempting she was? I was fucking glad she wasn’t arguing.

“You need blood.” I said, dropping onto the bed next to her.

She cocked one of her perfect brows.

“Yes, I do. However, shouldn’t you pour me a glass-like you usually do? And who gave you permission to sleep here?”

“I did and I’m too tired to grab a glass, so…” I arched my neck to the side, giving her access.

My eyes locked with hers. “Don’t risk it, I’m thirsty.” She whispered. “I don’t mind the risk. We both know that just being with you is fucking playing with fire, isn’t it?”

“Oh, one hundred percent.” She whispered, shuffling closer. She reached up, her heart thundering as her fingers grazed the back of my neck. Fuck, her touch felt good…

“Do your worst.” I whispered seductively.

In a flash, she had me on my back as she straddled my bare stomach, sinking her teeth into m y neck, sending a strong sting of pleasure through me.

The entire fucking situation was fucking hotter than ever. The level of pleasure mixed with the strengthened bond, those fucking sparks sent desire rushing through me. Her bare core was pressed against my abs, making my dick throb. The euphoric pleasure I felt as she drank my blood was turning me on even fucking more. My hands slid to her hips, holding on to her tightly

Her soft moan… The way her hand ran up and down my neck… There was just something so fucking mind-blowingly sexy about it, but the breaking point was when she grinded against my stomach.

My eyes blazed and I bit back a moan.

Fuck.

“Carry on fucking grinding on me and I swear I’ls fuck you right now.” I muttered.

Her answer was to suck harder on my neck, her nails digging into my skin and the tempting scent of her arousal fragranced the air.

‘Complete the bond! Mate with her!’ Thanatos growled.

Oh, as much as I wanted to… She needed to recover.

I could sense her intense desire as she moaned against me. I grabbed her naked ass, glad I didn’t put any fucking panties on her, making her whimper against my neck and momentarily pausing feeding from me. Her back arched as she pressed herself against me.

“Fuck Kian…” She gasped.

I tangled one hand in her hair, yanking her close as I kissed her neck, sucking hard.

“Alpha, are you awake? This is urgent.’ Corbin’s voice came.

“Fuck.” I growled.

Of all fucking times now?

‘What the fuck is it?’ I growled.

‘We may have found something…odd.’ Ajax said quietly and he sounded urgent

As much as I was enjoying this, if this involved whoever poisoned Morgana, I needed to know

‘Coming.’I said coldly

I kissed her neck one final time before I pulled away forcefully. “You need rest.” I whispered huskily, staring into her deep red eyes. Reaching up, I wiped her

lips clean.

Fuck, she was so damn sexy.

She looked curious for a moment before she nodded and quickly got off of me, as if realising what had happened,

“I need to go attend to something, get some rest.” I said quietly.

She smirked, glancing at my fucking hard on.

“No, I didn’t mean that.” I said, giving her a look. “We both know your fucking turned on as well sunshine, but I think you need to rest and keep your energy up.” I added arrogantly before grabbing a shirt.

Surprisingly, she didn’t reply, I glanced towards her. She was just sitting on the bed looking thoughtful.

“Kian…”

“Hmm?”

She seemed to hesitate and shook her head.

“Never mind.”

“Sleep.” I said, leaving the room and asking the boys where they were.

I made my way out to the courtyard behind the kitchens, frowning. What the fuck was this about?

All three of my Delta’s were there, along with Luca, talking quietly.

“What is it?” I asked, walking over.

They exchanged looks, something told me I wasn’t going to like this.

“Can you fucking tell me, I don’t have all day.” I growled.

“Kian, we were searching everywhere as ordered, and Ajax found these in the niche in this pillar.” Luca said, quietly pointing at one of the large pillars.

I didn’t even glance at it, instead looking at what he had in his hands. Several bottles of…

“Blood, human blood.” Ajax said quietly.

“There are about eight small bottles in total.” Oliver added.

My heart was racing, my head felt like it was fucking squeezing. There was only one person i n this entire castle who would need blood.
