MORGANA
"Get up!" Someone shouted.
The screeching sound of the hinges of the cell door being opened made me open my eyes. I was leaning against the wall, I wasn’t sure when I fell asleep last night.
"I’m awake." I replied icily, glaring at the two men before me haughtily. "What do you want?"
The taller of the two cocked his brow, scoffing as he looked at his partner.
"Did you hear that Gale..? She’s got an attitude even when she’s locked up down here." He sneered.
"Lee… Don’t. You know Gerald’s orders." Gale muttered, turning to me. He glared coldly. "Get up."
I raised an eyebrow. Was I getting out of here? My heart thudded as I slowly stood up, tossing my hair over my shoulder. My wrists were still bloody and a mess from the other night.
I was weak, and due to the lack of food, I wasn’t healing well either. I needed blood, but I was not going to ask these beasts for anything. The urge to sink my teeth into one of them
Thank you for reading! For giving my new book a chance. I know Kian is not winning anyone over yet but trust the process :D
KIAN I had just spent the morning attending to paperwork and was tempted to go see what she was up to. I wasn’t even halfway down the stairs when I heard her. "I said, move away! I will hurt you!" "Miss, are you ok?" My heart skipped a beat as I ran down the stairs in a blur, only to see Morgana’s fangs out as she backed away against the wall from Jody and Lorna, who were steadily approaching her. "I said I'm dangerous. Go away!" She snapped, stumbling as she fell backwards. I stopped in my tracks; she wasn’t attacking them… Where were those fucking fools? I would see to them… but… My gaze snapped back to her, as I watched her struggle. I would jump to protect the pups if need be, but seeing her do her best not to hurt them made a strange emotion tighten in my chest. She looked beautiful, even though she looked pale as death. Her cherry red lips were dry and the struggle in her eyes as she stared at the children before
MORGANA I awoke feeling a little better. A sweet taste lingered in my mouth, and I clutched my throat. The last thing I remembered was the Alpha yanking my hair as he pushed me towards that child… Oh how dare he! But why was I more energised? Probably the lack of poisoned cuffs… I glared at the broken shackles that lay on the ground near the bed. His scent lingered in this room. I looked around, I was lying on a huge bed with white bedding. It smelled like him; deep, seductive, and irritatingly enticing. The room was minimal with just matching wooden chest of drawers, one entire wall lined with floor to ceiling shelves that held many books, along with a large set of wardrobes, and a second door that was ajar, showed me the bathroom. I got off the bed, stumbling. My legs felt shaky, but… I was alone... Why would they leave me alone? And without the cuffs? My heart skipped a beat. This was my chance… I walked to the bedroom door, pressing my ear
KIAN Another day had passed, and she still refused to drink when I offered her. Her colour was ashy, and I could see the pale blue veins along her skin. Her fangs were longer, I knew she needed to drink or she would die. On the other fucking hand, Thanatos’s anger was raging; angry at her for her disobedience and angry at me for my stubbornness. He had to remember that I was not going to bend to his will. I was in charge. I had left her in my room and posted guards outside my window just in case she tried something stupid again, although she literally had no energy to do anything. She wasn’t even able to talk anymore, but even then, her stubbornness still prevailed. When I had dragged her to my neck, she refused. It angered me that she dared to defy my will, I hated that she did not yield to me as she should. I knew there was something there because she had allowed me to get close to her back at that lake. Although she had been slightly drunk, she was
MORGANA His blood was different; I had never tasted anything so good that it turned me on to such an extent that I lost my grasp on my senses... Even when he threw me to the ground, the feel of his hands running up and down my back made my heart pound. My core was still throbbing from my orgasm, and I felt alive after so long. The chaffing from the ropes was already beginning to heal. Yet at the same time, I felt humiliated and used as he walked off arrogantly towards the bathroom, slamming the door after him. I stood up slowly, feeling the wetness on my trousers. I needed to change and wash… I felt dirtier than ever… I didn’t understand… He seemed to want me, yet he clearly hated me too… I stood up, my legs shaky as I leant against the drawer. If it wasn’t for a startling thought that crossed my mind… I would have been so much angrier... My stomach sank, unable to remove the question burning in my mind. Why did he remind me of the man from th
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.
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
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
