MORGANA
The 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
MORGANA I looked up to see him standing at the top. His scent filled the air and I tried to simply inhale it. Despite its owner, it was tempting. "Wash and get to bed." He said coldly. I didn’t reply. Giving him my best icy glare. I was up the stairs in a flash, brushing past him, ignoring the sparks that coursed through me. I was about to walk through when he grabbed my arm. "Why the fuck are you pissed off?" "I really don’t want to argue with you, so let go of me." I said, glaring up into those hazel eyes of his. His eyes narrowed, his anger flared up, and as predicted, he didn’t let go. "I won’t tolerate disrespect from anyone." He said coldly. "And I won't tolerate anyone manhandling me!" I exclaimed angrily. "I'm going to only ask you once more, what the fuck happened?" He questioned dangerously, his hand pinning my wrists to the wall behind me, his body leaning against mine. Our hearts raced as one.
KIAN I couldn't stop myself. All I wanted was a moment of her, to feel the way she tastes, to relish in the way she consumes me. Pleasure streamed through me right down to my dick making me twitch against her. Her soft moans vibrated against my lips, making me want to fuck her right now. Never had a kiss felt so good, I was already hard for her. Right now, the way I felt… All I needed was her and I would give everything up to have it. ‘Mark her and she is ours.’ Thanatos’ voice came through the link. I plunged my tongue into her mouth, letting go of her chin. I tangled my hand into those gorgeous silk locks of hers as I explored every inch of her sweet, tempting mouth. Her arousal perfumed the air and I let go of her wrist, wrapping my other arm around her waist and pulling her hard against me. She reached up, cupping her hand around the back of my neck as she kissed me back with equal passion and anger. She fought for dominance, yet I was the
KIAN Her words sent a wave of emotions through me. How the fuck did she know that?! I did nothing to hint… fuck… I swallowed hard, my heart thudding as I stared back into those shocked eyes of hers. She was waiting for an answer I didn’t have, well one I couldn’t give her. "Don’t give yourself so much fucking importance. How can a vampire be mated to a werewolf?" I asked with a scornful tone in my voice. "Exactly, it's practically unheard of…" She whispered, placing a hand on her head, her hair curtaining her face. I couldn’t let her know. If she realised, she had one on me ... And if anyone else found out… she could be in way more fucking danger than she could ever imagine. And above all … they would use her against me. ‘Would you care or let her rot to her death?’ Thanatos growled. Just the thought of her getting hurt… I moved back, my heart thundering. If anything happened to her, I’d never be able to forgive myself. The very though
MORGANA I didn’t get it, whatever was happening between us… Something had shifted since that kiss... I didn’t get what, but it had. As for those thoughts, I was sure it was his wolf that I had heard. But what I couldn’t get my head around was, was I really the Alpha Kings mate? How could that even be a possibility? One thing I was certain of was that he had been the man at the lake, and remembering that made my cheeks burn and my core throb. That voice that had said ‘mine’ had been the very same as the voice I heard in his thoughts. I sighed deeply. As a vampire, falling in love was something that didn’t happen often. But when we found the one, our beloved, the connection was there… My mother said your heartbeat would race and no matter if you knew this person or not, when you laid eyes upon him you would know he was the one. Perhaps it was similar to werewolves and mates… I wasn’t sure but we would only truly love once. When we loved, we loved with a passion
MORGANA He raised his eyebrow, and to my shock, he simply continued stroking his shaft. "The cold’s coming inside, if you’re here for the show, close the door." He said huskily, making my core throb. I raised an eyebrow, trying to gather myself as best I could. "I’ve seen many men, Alpha Kian, I doubt you will have anything to offer that I haven’t seen before." I remarked airily, confidently stepping inside and shutting the door. I walked over to the counter, perching on the edge of it near the sink basin and crossed my legs confidently. Since I had come running like an idiot, there was no choice but to ride this out. A sexy, dangerous smirk crossed his lips, but he said nothing. Resting his head back against the tiled walls, his eyes locked with mine, he began moving his hand along his thick, delicious cock. Oh fuck… I was struggling to keep my gaze on his face... I could see what he was doing from the peripheral of my eyes, b
KIAN When something feels like it’s too fucking good to be true, it usually is. Although I knew that she was trying to prove that she had a hold on me, I was still in control. Fuck, mate or not, her touch alone was my fucking undoing. Never had I had such a good fucking release and that was just by her fucking hand. When Sage entered, I wasn’t expecting it. Although things were different now that I had found my mate... I still needed her as my Luna. I needed her to understand that she would be the Luna. If she went and told anyone about Morgana and me… that could ruin a lot more. I had pulled away, grabbing a towel, yet the guilt I felt for just leaving her in the shower… I never thought I’d ever feel like this. Her face was emotionless. Her post-orgasm glow made her look even more beautiful… the innocence in those beautiful ruby red eyes of hers… But… I had to do this. I left the bathroom and rushed to find Sage. "Sage!" She was almos
MORGANA When the door slammed shut, I gave it a few minutes before making my way back to the bedroom. I didn’t know how to feel, I didn’t know how to react. What happened shouldn’t have happened, but the fact that he used me and then ran after Sage… I was done. No matter how much he tried, I would refuse to allow him near me again. I had my pride. I took out a crushed maroon velvet fitted long sleeve top with black leather pants and heels. I was not going to act like it had affected me, although it had, greatly. I would behave normally and if baby Alpha- He was not a baby! That annoyed me too! I felt after what happened, I couldn’t keep calling him that. It doesn't matter he was a spoilt brat who deserved a good beating! My mood just became darker with each passing minute. The Delta Ajax was outside the bedroom when I was done. I didn’t miss the way his gaze flickered to my neck and I knew the marks were still there, although they woul
MORGANA Night had fallen and I was back in his bedroom. He was nowhere around, after Cain had gone I had checked for the niche in the pillar, and sure enough, there inside was four rather large vials of blood. I drank them quickly, placing the empty bottles back there. If Kian gave me blood tonight, then I would drink as much as I could, I needed to get stronger. Cain was right; I needed to be sufficient and be at my best. I was in bed now, but he never came. I stared at the ceiling, trying to sleep fruitlessly. Maybe I could do some snooping? I was alone after all… This was Kian’s room, surely there must be something about him here... I pushed the sheets away and got out of bed. Turning the lamp on, I looked around the room. I can’t believe I never bothered to snoop before. The bookshelves caught my attention. Books, files, notebooks, journals… Oh, Morgana, you had an entire wall with information. I walked over to it, silently running my eyes along t
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
