MORGANA
Her eyes flashed, and she was momentarily rendered speechless.
I smirked, playing with a strand of my hair that had already escaped my plait, watching her with amusement. She was about to speak, when she turned sharply. I could hear approaching footsteps, she spun around but before she could even leave, he was back. I saw his frown deepen as he looked at me sitting on the bed and then at the woman before him.
"Kian… I thought I’d come to see if you’re ok." Her tone was shockingly soft now, I wondered if it was the same woman from seconds ago.
Aww, how sweet, was she madly in love with her precious little Alpha king? So cute. I rolled my eyes when she placed her hands on his hard chest.
"Sage, I would call you if I needed you. Don’t show up unless I say." He said coldly.
"I'm sorry Kian, I just knew you had a lot going on and wondered if I could ease that tension." She whispered seductively, lacing her arms around his neck.
Brave Morgana! I love this girl!
KIAN When Sage kissed me, she didn’t even fucking care, and it only made me kiss Sage harder. The fucking problem was that I didn’t enjoy it, not one bit. I wanted to feel her lips on mine, not Sage’s. No matter how much I hated her kind… I still wanted her, but she clearly didn’t feel the same. For the most part anyway. She pushed me too far, and Thanatos took control. His rage and anger were so strong that I couldn’t even regain control. ‘Don’t hurt her.’ I growled. ‘I think I’ll be the one to deal with our little mate.’ He threw back at me. I saw him gaze down at her... Run. But she just slowly sat up, glaring back at Thanatos. He growled venomously at her and she glared back. "Don’t growl at me, I'm not scared of you." She snapped, to my complete surprise. ‘Why she!’ Thanatos growled, his anger raging. For the first time in my life, I felt an ounce of amusement. I stopped fighting him, curiou
MORGANA The funny little male housekeeper was rather strange. He was really pale for a werewolf, with a head full of ginger curls and pale green eyes. He was slightly on the tubby side, and he wasn’t so tall. But the best part, he was scared of me. This would be fun… "Ok, ma’am Liana I will take care of Morgana…" He said gulping visibly. It seemed yesterday he was braver, but for some reason, he seemed more worried today... Did someone tell him something about me? Oh well… "Don’t worry, Corbin will be keeping an eye on her." Liana said, casting me a look. I just looked back at her; she was at least five inches shorter than me. I wasn’t sure what to make of her yet, I knew she didn’t like me, but no werewolf was going to like a vampire. Just as I didn’t like them. "Ok, so Morgana... What are you good at?" Andrei asked when Liana had turned and left. "In the kitchen… not much. Back home, I wasn’t allowed to be in the kitc
MORGANA The stars twinkled, and I smiled sadly, suddenly feeling rather alone. One day… I will return home… I picked up my fork and began eating slowly. Only glancing up when Andrei placed a hot mug of something chocolatey next to me. Oh, it smelled divine, and it looked almost as good as baby Alpha’s skin. I frowned. Stupid man… My cheeks burned when I realised what I had seen earlier. He really was extremely well endowed… Lucky women I guess, or it could be painful. I shook my head pushing the thoughts out of my head. Urgh, I cannot believe that I had gotten turned on by drinking his blood… I picked up the mug taking a sip. It was chocolatey and milky; I hadn’t ever had something so tasty before! I wrapped my hands around the warm mug and drank it down, not bothered that it was still rather hot. I had finished half of it, placing it down when I heard some whispered scuffles coming from somewhere nearby. I frowned, drowning out the pe
"You are all the same!" She struggled to free herself, but I refused to let her go. "Will it heal?" I asked her. She had her other bloody arm covering herself, but I don’t think she realised her slender arm was doing nothing to keep her lush curves from me… "Yes." She snapped, yanking from my hold and covering herself. "How dare you rip my clothes!" "You had the audacity to attack one of my men." I said, grabbing her elbow, I pulled her up the stairs. "Why did you do it?" She didn’t reply, but her heartbeat quickened. I kicked open my bedroom door, pulling her in. I tossed her on the bed, I hated being disobeyed. Her breasts bounced and my gaze fell to them, the outline of her nipple clear through the lace. She grabbed a pillow, hugging it to her chest as she glared up at me. "Don’t look at me!" "You’re mine and I can if I want to." I growled. "What can I say about your men when you yourself are just as bad!" She spat.
KIAN The following day, I left before she even woke up. Posting one of the omega girls in the room, I told her if she woke up to tell Oliver, who was standing right outside the door, and to take her to the kitchens to work. She could spend the day without blood. She deserved the punishment. I don’t know why I was avoiding her, but last night I wasn’t able to sleep. Turning towards her, I had just watched her sleep. She moved a lot in her sleep, not something one would expect from a vampire. The stories were that they were stoic things who slept as if they were dead. But this one turned from her side to her back, then on to her stomach, then on to her side, which gave me the perfect view of her breasts. The moonlight had shone through a crack in the curtains, illuminating her. She really was the daughter of the night, and it was at night that she looked even more breath-taking... She had turned onto her stomach only to roll onto her back again. The cyc
MORGANA My heart thudded as I stared down at him. Morgana. The way my name sounded on his tongue... My stomach knotted and my core throbbed, just at that. How could someone I hate so much have this effect on me? I was already weak and being in the blazing sun was only making matters worse. Maybe the heat and light were getting to me. "I know you want to torture me, but really, unless you want me to collapse due to the sun, then let me go." I said coldly. A frown creased those gorgeous thick brows of his. He didn’t say anything, simply turned and pulled me down the steps. "Can you stop pulling me! What do you want?" I glared at his back, trying not to notice the way his sky-blue top stretched over his muscles… He stopped suddenly, and I almost stumbled before he pulled me into an alcove, the shade instantly taking away the weight of the sun that was pushing down upon me. I felt relieved, taking a deep breath as I leant against t
KIAN I ran my hand through my hair knowing I was only fucking it up, but I had no idea what overcame me earlier, the urge to kiss her... I was pacing my main office, although I had meant to be planning for the upcoming summit. Morgana… Fuck I hated it. ‘Did you hate it? Or are you just being a dick because she refused you, just because you have an ego that’s way too big?’ Thanatos’s snide fuck of a voice came. ‘Have I ever told you that I fucking can’t stand you at times?’ I shot back. ‘Yeah, plenty of times, but too bad for you because I’m just a part of you, so just the way you can’t stand me - I'm sure many people can’t stand you.’ He tossed back at me smugly. Fucking asshole… ‘I think our mate is - besides being smart, beautiful and sexy - very intelligent and compassionate.’ He added. ‘Intelligent? She fucking jumped from a window without even thinking of the fucking consequences. There’s nothing smart about that.
MORGANAThe day had gone by in a haze. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t forget what almost happened earlier.I sighed in frustration watching two of the four head cooks argue over salt… All day these two had been at it. I realised yesterday that only Griselda was here, and from what I gathered, the two never seemed to get on. Usually, the work schedule was set up in such a way that they wouldn’t have to be together, but one of the chefs was ill, so Griselda was replacing her. I was sick of it; it was complete nonsense, and their Alpha was already consuming my mind like a plague you couldn't get rid of. I was no longer sure if the potato in front of me was baby Alpha or the two chefs before me."No, I assure you, I didn’t put anything in your pot!" Griselda barked. She was a large, boisterous woman with a very sturdy build, standing at around five feet five. Markus on the other hand, was the exact opposite, being a very tall and thi
JUST OVER TEN YEARS LATER. KIAN "Xendaya!" Niko called to his younger sister. His hazel eyes were full of irritation as he glared at his sister, at ten he was already a strong big boy. He had patience when it came to his sisters, but Xen tested it often. I turned hearing her mischievous laughter. She was eight now, but she was her mother’s replica. Despite Xendaya having hazel eyes and hair that fell in waves, she had the very same mischievous smile that her mother had, and she was always up to no good. "I didn’t take it!" She denied. Lie. "Daddy, Xenie did!" Morwenna stated softly, blowing her hair out of her face. My little six-year-old petal, with her doe red eyes and soft black curls, she was the only one who was definitely a vampire. Needing blood from birth, whilst the other two seemed more wolf, but until their shift, we wouldn’t know. "Xen, what did you take?" I asked, frowning as I put down my paintbrus
MORGANA The night had been magical. Not once did Kian leave my side; his hands constantly touching me, caressing my waist, brushing his knuckles down my bare arms and back, or resting on my behind. Kissing my shoulder, back, neck and lips. His compliments didn’t fail, his eyes on me and me alone. Even when other single females approached to ‘congratulate’ us, it was clear their eyes were on MY mate. But even then, Kian only bothered with me, and I knew some of these may have been women he had slept with, but it was in the past. He was mine now. The room was decorated in gold and red, with the Clair De Lune roaring wolf on the black and gold banners hanging above. The large chandeliers glittered brightly, whilst candles and flowers decorated the entire hall. Food had been served in a luxurious seven-course meal, and alongside it, there was a bottle of blood that I knew was from Kian the moment I tasted it. A few Va
MORGANA "Is it to your liking, my lady?" The Omega asked as I stared into the mirror at my reflection. Tonight was the night of our official celebration. It had been two months since the war had ended and things had changed for the better. Life was finally returning back to normal. I was dressed in a luxurious satin rich maroon coloured dress. It was strapless with the bodice being sheer with lace work on the breast area. The satin skirt was fitted to the knees before it flared out with a trail. A thick lace embroidered border trimmed the entire trail, and around the hips was a wrapped pleated layer of satin that trailed the ground as an additional layer. My make-up was smoky on the eyes and my skin was glowing with a soft shimmer, covering my entire body with it. My lips were coloured a deep matte maroon. My nails were glittering gold too. I wore a large diamond necklace and earring set. On my wrists, I wore diamond bracelets on both
KIAN The following morning, I left Morgana with my journals. Not something I wanted to do, but… she’s mine and if she wants to know my past, she has the fucking right to. I just didn’t want to be around before she discovered all my fucking secrets, especially my doubts and my doodles. I was trying to remember everything I’d written, when I froze. Wait... I'm sure there were some passages about Sage. Fuck! Before I could even get up from my office chair, there was a knock on the door and Kai stepped inside. "You called for me, Kian?" He asked. I ran my hand down my face, massaging my jaw. The chances she’d read those chapters were minimal… right? There were several journals, I better make this fucking quick. "I did, take a seat." I said, motioning with a jerk of my head towards the seats opposite. "I know things have changed between us with time... Our priorities and decisions shaped our future and it, in turn, made us take different paths… but
MORGANA We had won! A trumpet sounded, along with the howling of wolves ringing in the air. I knew for miles around it would be heard, resounding our victory. The fae seemed to realise what had happened and began to fall back. Kian shifted back, motioning for our men who were chasing the fae to stop. Yet his eyes didn’t leave mine. My heart thumped seeing him, completely fine… alive... We had made it. I knew he was probably angry at the reckless move I had pulled but when Reuban had pulled me from the thick of the battle, I had shouted at him that I needed to go back. That was until I saw Kian’s wolf in the midst of the fire. I rode on his back until I came to where Kian was fighting the final of the four commanders. The idea had come suddenly to me, and seeing the opportunity I had gone for it. "That was fucking crazy." He growled, his eyes flashing, as my stomach fluttered. "But…" I blushed faintly, realising he was completely naked
KIAN Bloodshed. In every direction, people were fighting. Bond after bond was snapped as I lost men, knowing that with it their mates would soon die too. I ripped through a Fae, we were winning but… We needed to defeat the commanders, the four Fae princes, because we were still losing far too many. I was battling one of them right now, growling as I ripped his arm off before my claws sank into his body, tearing him to pieces. The sun was beginning to rise in the sky and morning was close. Pain suddenly shot through my back and my heart pounded. ‘Morgana! Where is she?! She’s hurt!’ I shouted through the link to Reuban, trying to control the fear that filled me. ‘I'm getting to her! Her brother’s joined the battle, Alpha! He killed one of the four commanders! The Ice Prince! ’ I was shocked that he actually did... For Azrael to turn around, that was no small feat. ‘I'm trying to get to her! She’s back up! Her brother is-
AZRAEL I was turning away when I heard Morgana shout, I looked back sharply as I sat upon my horse, staring through Olen’s Arch. I knew Morgana no matter what she wore or if her face was covered. She always held the grace and power of an Araton Royal; the way she held her swords, the way she fought and the way she struck down her enemies. She was one of the finest swordsmen of our kind. She was doubled over, gripping her waist as she fought off a Fae. Jaylen, the dick I was talking to and one of the four fae princes, raised his hand, motioning for them to storm through the arch that no longer stood where it once did. Morgana… "Your majesty, We need to go!" One of my men called out to me. I hesitated, staring back through the arch. I turned away, my heart racing as a memory from long ago flashed in my mind. (FLASHBACK) "Brother! Brother, look what I caught!" I glared down at my little sister. She was almost ten now, and
Morgana Night had fallen, Kian and I were seated with Azrael and Anastasia having dinner, although it was only Kian who had food considering how scarce it was in the kingdom. Kian looked at his plate of rabbit meat with some vegetables, compared to the food in the Clair De Lune kingdom, the three-course meal was very small. He didn’t comment on it and simply ate, I appreciated it. He already knew the situation of our people, and I knew he would be willing to open trade negotiations. We had in fact been discussing everything since Uncle’s death. The truth was out, and luckily, both kings wanted peace despite their clear dislike of one another. "You need to call this off. Tell the Fae you will not ride into battle." I said, very aware of Kian’s strong arm brushing against my bare one and resisting the urge to shiver in pleasure. "They aren’t so easy to simply say no to, not when we have already made an agreement… One that uncle kept advising me was the
KIAN Something was wrong. The moment I felt her storm of emotions through the bond, I left the room; grabbing some poison, antidote, and a long sword from her collection. I followed her scent as my emotions filled me like a storm. Not caring for the guards who started shouting and chasing me. "I need to find Morgana!" I growled, ripping them off me as I let my nose lead me, trying to calm the worry and fear that were gripping me for her safety. ‘Mate is in danger!’ Thanatos thundered and I could feel him trying to come to the front. I rushed through the doors where her scent was strong and several guards were gathered, clearly looking for something. Morgana’s scent was strong here, as well as the overpowering smell of blood. I took in the scene before me, the entire floor was practically covered in blood mixed with shattered glass, and several guards were searching the room. "What the… Who are you?!" One of them asked. I raised the swo
