The Alpha King’s Possession

Chapter 48

48. Plans & Preparations

MORGANA

Last night had been magical. Although we had simply kissed a little more, showered and just got into bed, there was something about coming clean and being honest. Knowing that he hadn’t been behind my father’s death had lifted the weight within me. It meant I was willing t o give in to these emotions…

My core still tingled when I remembered taking his dick in my mouth. I wouldn’t mind waking him up like that every morning. There was something so sexy about looking at that view of pure ecstasy on his face. Kian was an emotionless, stoic person, so whenever I got to see that side. He was everything one could want and more, and despite his arrogant nature, h e cared for me. No, loved me.

Today I got dressed in black pants and a floral green strapless satin wrap top that showed off the top of my breasts. My hair was in a high pony, and I wore a few delicate necklaces, dangly earnings, a few bracelets and rings. I wouldn’t deny I loved the way he couldn’t stop looking at me, that struggle with his self-control when I bent down to slip my heels on.

I felt.. happy, and as if I belonged here. I guess I did, with Kian. I wasn’t a fool to deny that I just hoped we could find a solution to this war.

We didn’t talk about Orrian again, but he was willing to reach out to them. I smiled just thinking of the way he got all possessive. Was it wrong that I found it amusing?

It was early morning and we were in his office with his four Deltas and Beta. Each one seemed to be unsure of what to make of me as Oliver closed the door slowly, his green eyes fixed on me, almost as if he didn’t trust me.

I was perched on the arm of Kian’s chair. I frowned, trying to read their minds.

‘After what we found… is Kian actually trusting her?’ Luca was thinking.

‘She’s in cahoots with someone… This is weird…’ Ajax was thinking.

‘She’s dangerous, I don’t trust her.’ Corbin’s thoughts.

I frowned, looking at Kian sharply.

What had they found?

“So do we have a plan?” Ajax asked, his gaze once again going to me.

1 remained passive, thinking I would let Kian tell them what was needed.

“There’s a few things that we need to discuss, and we will start with the fact that Morgana has been in touch with Cain, who told her I killed the previous vampire king and hence made her want revenge.” Kian said quietly, his voice cold and emotionless.

All his men looked shocked at that. I felt a little stupid, thinking their reaction was enough to make it clear that Kian had nothing to do with that.

“Cain… SO…” Luca looked at Kian and I knew they were mind linking.

“He left the poison in one of the pillars outside, along with blood.” Kian said icily. Although he wasn’t holding me responsible, I knew the fact that Cain had tried to get me was still causing him anger.

“Then why have we not arrested him?” Corbin asked, running a hand through his hair, his eyes flashing

“We’re going to keep an eye on him, and this time I mean a proper one. I want to know what else he’s fucking up to, I won’t get him to talk no matter how much I fucking torture him. I feel he’s planning more.”

Kian said.

I looked at him. This was my chance to redeem myself…

“Maybe you can arrest him… If you trust me, that is… I may not look like it, but I am a vampire who has abilities that even my brother does not have. Something my father wanted me to

et.” I began, I knew these men trusted Kian and he trusted them. Sharing my secret was not an issue. “I can read minds, somewhat. It’s not easy and often I get only snippets but…” I trailed off as all six men looked at me, trying to register what I had just said.

I bit my lip looking at Kian.

“Read anyone’s mind?” He asked, narrowing his eyes.

“It’s how I knew I was your mate. I heard Thanatos and you speaking.” I said quietly.

Luca whistled, letting out a sharp breath.

“Whoa…” He muttered.

“Fucking hell… Anything else you want to share sunshine?” Kian asked coldly, raising an eyebrow. Despite his tone, his eyes held that glint that was reserved only for me.

“If there is, I’ll let you know when I remember.” I replied haughtily.

Our eyes met, I watched his gaze dip to my lips and breasts before he looked away.

“Read my mind then. Can you do it willingly or is it randomly?”

“Often willing, sometimes it happens on its own. If I’m overwhelmed, I kind of lose control of i tand hear an influx of voices.” I replied, before focusing on Kian.

“You need to think of something.” I murmured, placing my hand on his shoulder. The shrill sound erupted in my head before I pushed past it, probing his mind. ‘Like how fucking sexy you look in that top? Although I do prefer you naked.’

‘Mate looks good. When can I play with mate?’ I blushed lightly. What?

“Did you get anything?” Kian asked, his face emotionless.

I gave him a pointed look.

“Really, do you want me to say that out loud?” I asked, before leaning in towards his ear. My lips brushed against his lobe and I loved how his heartbeat quickened. “Tell Thanatos, soon…” I whispered seductively, and if we were alone, I would have run my hand over his manhood.

He turned towards me, his blazing eyes meeting mine.

“That’s proof enough.”

“So, when you need me to, I can get the information from Cain… However, to start with, how about we set up a trap? It would be better if you allowed me to leave him a note to meet him somewhere. I think I could get him to speak out. That way, you can hear it for yourself and not have to rely on my word alone, as I know your men may not trust me.” I said looking at the five men.

Apart from Oliver, the rest looked away, whilst Reuban frowned.

Kian took my hand, kissing my palm before threading his fingers with mine and resting our combined hands on his leg.

“That sounds like a better plan. However, if I say you are to be trusted, then no one else has a fucking say.” He said coldly, I knew that was a warning to his men. “As for the letter from the Sanguine Empire

and the news of the Fae Kingdom Onis, there’s something Morgana has suggested that might be our best shot.” Kian said, now frowning. I could sense his displeasure and I smirked.

The men were listening seriously as Kian began laying out the plan of going to Elandorr, I added my input here and there, but left it to Kian for the most part.

“That might be risky…” Ajax said, “You going alone…”

“We need to do this discreetly, without anyone being alerted. After the summit, you can just put it down to the two of us needing some alone time before the coronation. With the preparations in full swing, everyone will be too busy to focus on us. As usual, have food delivered to our quarters and try to make it out as if you are seeing us at times. Perhaps even have a dinner here one evening. Let’s just keep it fucking believable.” Kian said, frowning.

“But you two are travelling alone. Are you sure, Kian?” Luca asked worriedly.

“I’m strong enough, and it’s not the first time I’ve been to a different kingdom alone.” He said coldly. His voice held power and finality, I knew that was the end of the discussion.

“And I don’t mean to sound disrespectful to the Luna… but after what she attempted… is it

wise?” Ajax said.

I couldn’t deny him being concerned for his king was fair, but the surge of anger that lashed through me, anger that did not belong to me, told me Kian thought differently.

“Care to fucking say that again.” He hissed, his voice overlaying with Thanatos’. He was about to stand up but I placed my hand on his arm.

“It’s fair for them to worry Kian, they aren’t wrong.” I said quietly.

But I wouldn’t betray Kian, not when he trusted me, I would never humiliate him like that again. If he could trust me, then I wouldn’t break that trust.

Ajax lowered his head to us, and I shook my head at Kian.

“Relax, they only care for you. I am not here to cause rifts.” I said, now looking at Ajax sharply. “The elves are an ancient race, and they are powerful, if we have them on our side this war can be stopped early, and if not, then we go for the win. Besides, do you not have faith in your king? We all know he could kill me if I did try something.”

Kian clenched his jaw but his men seemed to find this reasonable enough.

“And you are willing to go against your people?” Reuban asked calculatingly.

My heart skipped a beat and I looked at Kian.

“I hope that they surrender or join me. I can promise them a better future. If my brother dies i n battle, then I’m sure his soon to be born heir will make a fine king, but until he comes of age, I would become ruler by default. If that happens, we can make amends between both kingdoms. Then by the time my brother’s offspring is of age, they can rule. That is, of course, i fit comes to that..”

I turned to Kian, who was sitting there with a thoughtful look on his face.

“So that’s the plan,” He said, “At the summit today, I will announce that war is upon us, that the Fae and vampires have joined hands, and that Morgana and I will be wed soon enough. W e will also plan the journey to and back from Elandorr. It will take us a minimum of two weeks. You five will hold the fort in my absence.”

“Understood,” They all said in unison. Confidence and determination was clear on their faces.

I looked out the window as they began discussing the chances that Elandorr would help, but I knew Orrian would. We may have ended our relationship, but we were still friends.

I stood up, walking over to the window, and stared out at the kingdom. The sun was up and it all looked so peaceful. Past the palace grounds, the gorgeous hills, rivers and woods spread out along with the huge cities built around them. This alliance wasn’t only for Kian, it was for my father, who had reached out to him. Something deep down within me told me that my

father wanted to extend the hand of peace. Not only would I help the people of Clair De Lune, but also those of the Sanguine Empire, those who were innocent despite their ruler’s sins.

I turned back when the men exited the room and saw Kian rubbing his neck again. He was tense, that much I could see. I walked over to him and placed my hands on his shoulders.

“You’re so tense…” I murmured as I began massaging his muscular shoulders and neck.

“Hmm,” He muttered.

I pressed harder, satisfied when he groaned slightly. Rolling his neck, I slipped my hand into his shirt, massaging him firmly and feeling the knots.

“Relax handsome, you’re really tense…” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Yeah, I won’t fucking deny that. We will deal with Cain before we leave.” He murmured, reaching up.

He pulled my head down, kissing my lips sensually for a long moment, before relaxing back and allowing me to carry on.

“Sounds like a plan, we will get through this Kian. One step at a time.” I said, frowning slightly.

“Yeah, we will.” He said with confidence clear in his voice. He groaned slightly and I bit my lip, God he sounded so sexy. “You’re fucking good with your hands, sunshine.”

“I’m good with a lot more than my hands.” I replied seductively, leaning down and flicking his ear with my tongue.

“Oh, I fucking know.” Came his husky reply. Grabbing my wrists, he pulled me down and my heart skipped a beat.

We didn’t put a label to us, but we had somehow become more.

I tightened my arms around his neck, kissing his cheek.

“So… I heard Thanatos wanted to meet me.” I said teasingly.

“He fucking does, but I don’t trust him.”

“Hmm? I can handle him. So, whenever you’re ready, I don’t mind.” I said, returning to massaging his shoulders.

He had confessed his love to me… Yet, I hadn’t expressed my feelings vocally.

Soon I would too.
