The Alpha King’s Possession

Chapter 39

39. The wiche In The Pillar

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’. O n 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 yet. It was rather fun to hear them have their friendly banter.

With each passing day, I felt torn. I still wanted to ask Kian about my father’s death, I would try to read his thoughts when I did but something kept making me hesitate. As if I didn’t want to know….

We had written a message for my brother and I hoped we would hear back. If he didn’t reply, I was tempted to go there myself. I may have issues with Kian, but not his people. If this could benefit both kingdoms, I wanted to see this through before I made any huge decisions regarding revenge.

I was allowed to roam freely as long as someone was with me, and I did manage to sneak back to the alcove. Sure enough, there was a note from Cain awaiting me, asking me what I was planning and some more vials of blood. I had drunk them down but even that felt like I was cheating, Kian often asked me how much I needed and he would always fill me a glass.

Still, I took it, and I left a note saying to Cain that nothing had changed; I was simply doing what we had planned. But with each passing day, the guilt inside of me was growing.

Today the ongoing summit was regarding some internal issues between packs, so I decided to skip it. I walked to the kitchens with Ajax following, I knew they too had been shocked that Kian had completely ended it with Sage, but being King, none of them questioned him. I think me being his mate overruled every other argument. Apparently, the idiots had wanted him to have two Lunas… They had put the dumb idea in their dumb king’s head!

“Lady Morgana, are you going to the kitchens?” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I told you, it’s Morgana, and yes I am.” I stated.

I missed the banter, it was a place I had been treated well. Upon entering, the kitchen fell silent and all eyes turned to me. A few women looked utterly shocked, and some looked rather jealous to my surprise, but then again, Kian was very sought after.

But there was one man my eyes sought and I smiled when I saw him.

“Ah, Morgana! I mean Lady Mor.”

“Morgana is fine. Andrei, tell me, did you miss me?”

“Ah yes… There’s no one faster at slicing those vegetables than you… You were very passionate about it.”

Of course I was. When you imagine chopping baby Alpha to pieces, you begin to slice and cut with passion. 1

I smiled

“I’m glad to hear it, so want me to cut some now?”

He looked startled at that, glancing at Ajax.

“No, no, I’m sure you have so much to do. Congratulations on your engagement to the king.” Andrei said, his eyes falling on the hand that held my ring.

A ring that was beginning to weigh on my finger and soul.

“Well, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with keeping myself busy.” I said going over and taking a knife along with a bowl of peeled potatoes, “What are we doing? Dicing or slicing?”

“Ahh… We are cutting them into cubes.” He said, hurrying over. “This size.”

“Ok.” I said with a smile, getting to work.

I made sure to finish the potatoes before I went for a stroll in the garden.

“Can you at least give me some space?” I complained to Ajax.

He gave a curt nod and I wandered ahead, wondering if anything else was in the alcove today, but with Ajax around, it was going to be hard to retrieve them. I wandered around before slowly sitting down beneath the pillar and closing my eyes, taking a deep breath.

“Do you wish to return home?” Ajax asked.

“No, I like sitting here. It’s soothing.” I replied.

It wasn’t a lie, with the clattering from the kitchen, the laughter and mirth, along with the hustle and bustle of everyone preparing food for the entire castle, it was welcoming. The shade and the slight heat from

the sun made me feel tired. In an odd way, I enjoyed that heavy, drowsy feeling, it was perfect.

I heard Ajax move a little distance away and I opened my eyes a crack, I would bide my time before I checked the niche.

A good twenty minutes later, when Ajax had moved away a little to check on something, I managed to slowly get up and peek inside. I didn’t have time to grab the blood, but there was a small pouch beside the blood which I quickly pocketed and sat down once again just as Ajax returned. He looked suspicious for a moment before shaking his head.

“Do you want to return?”

“Sure.” I said, stretching before I stood up and led the way back towards the entrance to the castle.

I headed to Kian’s quarters and was glad that I was left alone. I made my way upstairs and took out the pouch. There was a small vial and a square folded note. My heart thundered as I unfolded it.

‘I’M GLAD TO HEAR WE ARE STILL IN AGREEMENT. I HAVE INCLUDED SOMETHING THAT CAN START OUR PLAN, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND GOOD LUCK. I KNOW I CAN RELY O N YOU; FREEDOM AND VICTORY WILL BE YOURS.’

I folded the paper, my heart thundering as I stared down at the tiny vial, my chest rising and falling. I know what this was… But why was I hesitating? This was what I wanted, right?
