The Alpha King’s Possession

MORGANA

The dagger was inches away from him, when suddenly he raised his hand, catching it between two fingers, his eyes blazing gold with anger rolling off of him in waves. Before anyone could react, he was before me, grabbing my body by the neck and slamming me against the marble pillar behind me.

A menacing growl ripped from his throat, and anyone who had been about to move stilled. I grabbed his wrist, trying to free myself. My heart was pounding, his seductive scent and his presence were messing with my senses. My eyes blazed as I tried to free myself, but he was stronger. I held his gaze, trying to compel him to let me go, but it wasn’t working.

“Let go of me!” I choked out.

Was no one going to intervene?

I glared at the Alpha before me, but he simply stayed silent. What the hell was going on in that mind of his? He let go of my throat, suddenly dropping me to the ground, swallowing hard as he looked away. I stood up, pulling out my second dagger, but before I could even do anything, he grabbed hold of my upper arm, knocking the dagger from my hand and turning towards Azrael, who was standing there glaring at me.

Wow, great brother…

“I will take this one, and you have my word that I will not attack your kind, I will sign in blood.” His words resonated off the walls, and I knew the high lords were wondering if the king would agree.

“I am not a prize or a possession.” I hissed, only for the Alpha king to clamp a hand over my mouth. For a second, I remembered the man at the lake and shuddered. This man was nothing like him.

“Very well, the woman in your hold is my sister, Morgana, the one and only princess of the kingdom. Our most prized possession… Let the deal be done.” Azrael said clearly.

“Your majesty…” Uncle Malachi whispered, his face pale as he looked at me with worry in his eyes.

I pulled my face free from the Alphas hold, glaring at Azrael.

“You can’t do this to me Azrael!”

“Please do reconsider your majesty, Morgana was dear to my late brother. Please choose any other woman but her.” Uncle pleaded, looking at the Alpha king.

we were going down a stone curved hall that led downwards, and with it, the temperature got colder. The Alpha king was carrying me over his shoulder, and although I struggled, he only delivered a sharp slap to my behind, leaving a stinging pain in his wake and silently warning me to stay quiet.
