MORGANA
Two nights had passed since that day, I attended the dinners in the evening and the summit meetings during the day. However, it troubled me a lot. Kian didn’t push me further; he would sleep in another room and although he sometimes teased me or kissed me unexpectedly, he didn’t go further than that.
I didn’t see Sage again. In the evenings, the visiting Luna’s would try to show that they were more than me, although I’d instantly put them in their place. When it came to knowledge, I was not lacking and I made sure I made that clear. Also, many werewolves, especially the single ones, had their eyes all over me. Some of their thoughts disgusted me but unless I wanted my truth to be known, I had to pretend I couldn’t hear them.
But above all, it was Kian and Thanatos’ thoughts that made me blush, especially Thanatos’. On top of that, he also wanted to meet me again. I often heard him beg Kian to allow him, with Kian refusing, saying he had hurt me so not
This chapter was slightly smaller as I had updated w 2 chapters yesterday but tomorrow's will be longer! I'm sure you will enjoy tomorrow's update XD
KIAN Night had fallen and Ajax had just told me Morgana had spent half the day in our bedroom, or should I say hers? Right now, I wasn’t so sure what to call it. We had another dinner to attend, but if she didn’t want to come then that was up to her. I would ask her though if she wanted to attend, I mean, I wouldn’t mind just spending some alone time with her... But she was keeping me at a distance and I wasn’t going to push her boundaries too much, not unless she wanted me to. Although it was fucking hard to resist her. I always took what I wanted, this time, trying not to, was taking all my fucking self-control. I knocked on the bedroom door, but there was no answer. Frowning, I opened the door to see the bathroom door was shut and a ray of light seeped in through the bottom. Guess she was getting ready, a black dress lay on the bed and it reminded me of the first time I saw her. She had looked ravishing that night… I walked over to the bed, letting
MORGANA My cheeks refused to stop burning. Even when I cleaned up and got dressed to come down to dinner, my heart was still racing. My core was throbbing and tingling, every time I thought of what happened, I felt it knot with pleasure. My entire body felt heightened, I don’t know what that was, but seeing him look so good all in black, with a few buttons open and the way he had pulled me close… Fuck I had lost all control. But even then, he didn’t expect anything in return, seemingly satisfied with pleasuring me. That arrogant, cocky smirk remained on his face as we headed downstairs. His every action was confusing me, messing with my head. Although I carried the tiny vial with me, I wasn’t sure I could go through with this. Why did I feel like he was genuinely trying? No…I know he was… but… I really needed to ask him about my father’s death. "Luna Morgana…" Someone said, and I turned to see none other than Cain. My heart thudded as he smile
KIAN Never had I felt as fucking helpless as I do right now. The moment her body started shaking, and I felt the odd pain within me, I had realised something was incredibly wrong. Seeing the blood that she coughed up, her beating heart that was racing too fucking fast had made my emotions take over, the fear of losing her ripped me apart like I had been pushed through a fucking shredder. I couldn’t lose her, nothing could happen to her. My entire fucking exterior crumbled when I ran from the hall as fast as I fucking could, commanding every doctor in the palace to be ready to receive her. I was terrified of losing her. Her delicate body convulsed in my arms, blood dripping from her mouth, and tears of pain clung to her lashes. I tried to keep her fucking awake, but her heart was skipping beats and slowing down, at times I couldn’t even hear it. My own was thudding violently, Thanatos was frozen in shock within me. Even when I rushed into the medical w
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- ‘Stop it Kian.’ Thanatos’ growl came.
KIAN "This is… Lady Morgana’s favourite spot, she always sits here when she’s resting." Corbin added, as if he didn’t want to believe it. ‘No…’ Thanatos growled. ‘Lies!’ The pain of betrayal that was now fucking consuming me was powerful. I couldn’t deny there were times when she hadn’t drunk from me and her eyes would be a lot darker. I also knew my men wouldn’t lie to me. Once or twice, that thought had come to my mind, but I never pondered on it. Sure, they didn’t find out who fucking poisoned her, but there was someone else aside from me who was giving Morgana blood. Meaning she was in contact with someone else… There was only a rare few who I actually trusted here too. "When you’re watching her, have you ever seen her take anything from here?" I asked looking at the narrow niche, it was so fucking deep in no one would ever think much of it, it was just a slight damage in the architecture. "There are moments when we aren’t
MORGANA Guilt was eating up at me, I had almost poisoned him… I could have killed him… Even if I had backed out at the last minute, it didn’t change the fact that I had tried. I ran my fingers over the mark that now bound me to him, a mark that guaranteed how serious he was about me. If he had wanted, he could have left me to die and he would have been free of me. I still remember the panic and fear in his voice as he rushed me from the hall, the concern in his eyes when I woke up. With the bond now connecting us, I had felt the emotions from him... Kian may even love me… No… I was sure he did… When I drank his blood, those intense emotions… I placed my head in my hands, feeling exhausted, and not only physically. I needed to tell him, even if he got angry… We needed to talk and I really needed to ask him about my father too. These emotions inside of me… I don’t know how long I could fight them for, I just needed some clarity before it was too
MORGANA My heart was thundering as I stared at him, ready for him to unleash all his anger upon me. His eyes were blazing, but within them, it was as if a hurricane had been unleashed. The calibre of the emotions in those golden orbs devoured me completely, so strong I couldn’t make them all out, the conflict, the anguish, the pain, the anger, and so much more than I couldn’t even comprehend. Although the urge to read his mind consumed me, I was too terrified of what I may hear that I refused to, instead, I waited for him to crush my neck in his grip and do his worst. "I acted impulsively… I don’t know why I did it… I know it’s a little late, but I'm sorry for trying to kill you… or hurt you… I didn’t really know how much damage it would do…" I mumbled lamely. "So, you decided to stupidly just eat it yourself?" He asked coldly, his voice trembling with unbridled rage. "It was a spur of the moment decision… I didn’t think it out." I shot back,
KIAN The moment she seemed to have gone into shock, I quickly led her to the bed, grabbing some water and holding the glass to her lips. Her lips didn’t move, almost as if she didn’t notice the glass there. Her heart was thundering as if what I told her was something that was far too shocking. I placed the glass down, wiping the water from her lips with my thumb before running my fingers through her silky hair, telling her to talk to me. From the moment she had told me about the poison, the fact she changed her mind was fucking enough. She was sassy and fucking crazy, but her honesty was something that shone through. No matter how impulsive she was, she did everything from her heart… I looked up at her, rubbing her knuckles on my knees before her. Her asking me about her dad fucking surprised me. I mean, I knew my father's death had its circumstances, but for her to actually think I killed her father… "Morgana." I said, leaning in I claimed he
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
