The Alpha King’s Possession

11. A Woman’s Insecurity

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 the lake?

The way his hair felt from the back… his scent. Although the man at the lake’s scent was hazy, it seemed s o similar… His voice… Could it be that he had ended up developing an infatuation with me since then? If it was him?

No… The man at the lake was nicer… But was he? We didn’t speak, it had just been an intimate moment that I had somehow fallen into. Even now, I have never gotten so aroused in such a way, whilst drinking blood. Usually, I would drink from a glass, but when I have drank directly from a human, I have never gotten tumed on. Yes, I’ve felt exhilarated and even high… But nothing like this…

My chest tightened painfully when I remembered the anger in his eyes as he threw me to the floor.

For the first time in my life, I felt… lost… I was angry at myself for allowing that to happen, angry at him for his treatment of me, angry at Azrael for allowing him to take me…

I had tried to escape twice, and both times I had failed. I really needed to play smart from here on out.

The bathroom door slammed open, and my breath hitched, my heart skipping a beat at the bang.

I looked up, my heart thudding as I stared at the god before me, his entire muscular physique on perfect display… I could see he had a tattoo wrapping around his right lower leg that looked like a forest. My gaze travelled upwards, taking in the navy towel wrapped around his waist, water trickling down his six-pack and into his towel, making my core clench. I slowly forced my gaze up to his face, my heart thudding when his cold hazel eyes met mine.

“You didn’t run, you had your chance. Why didn’t you take it?” He asked coldly, approaching me.

I squeezed the edge of the dresser, holding his gaze.

“We both know that I wouldn’t have gotten far.” I replied, equally coldly.

He reached over, gripping my chin tightly in his fingers, forcing me to tilt my head upwards.

“True, I’m a hunter and I love a game of chase.” He whispered.

I glared back defiantly, feeling stronger now that I had fed, but I did not want to be bound in a painful
