The Alpha King’s Possession

33. Dinner In Red

MORGANA

“The King said to get changed, tonight you will dine with him.”

Those were the words the Omega girl spoke before she asked if I needed help getting ready. I had declined her help and had decided to get ready by myself.

I hadn’t been able to go down to the courtyard for more blood, but it was fine, I needed to be careful, and so I spent the day searching this part of the castle. Although most of the doors

d, I still had a look around. I hadn’t managed to find the keys to the journals much t o my disappointment, but I still had this room to search more thoroughly.

Wherever that annoying Alpha had hidden them, I’d find them.

I knew what I wanted from him, so I decided to use my allure and looks tonight to keep him distracted and hope he’d agree to what I was asking. I knew I had a hold over him with the mate bond, and something told me that if I wanted, I would be able to bring Thanatos forth. Unlike his human counterpart, he was much more smitten with me. However, that too could b e dangerous considering how rough he had been last time.

Isn’t it funny, that I, a vampire, was mated to the Alpha king? I wonder if I really wanted to, would I be able to bring him to his knees and have him yield to me? Oh, I knew I had the capability to… If I wanted, I could make anyone fall in love with me. I could be so sweet, despite how psychotic I am too.

I had just showered and was now staring at my large array of clothing. Now… What is the perfect colour to bring a man to his knees?

Red

I chose the sexiest dress from the wardrobe. Slipping it on, I just about got it zipped up. It was tiny, with my height it just about covered my behind, my legs were on full display.

Applying some smoky eye make-up and deep red lipstick, I finished off with some highlighter. Putting on some heels and curling my black locks before running my fingers through them. Finishing with a touch of fragrance, I looked in the mirror for a moment. It felt like I was Morgana Araton, princess of the Sanguine Empire, once again.

What had I become? Stuck in this place as a captive. I was losing my identity with each passing day.

I pushed the thought away and glanced at the time. The Omega had said dinner would be served downstairs at eight pm. How strange, from what I had thought, wasn’t he meant to be dining with his guests for the next few nights? I guess I would ask him…

I left the room, making my way downstairs, the smell of delicious dishes wafted through the

air but it was something else that made me stop in my tracks.

Kian was leaning against the bannister of the staircase, arms crossed. He looked incredibly handsome in more formal attire; his bulging muscles strained against the fabric of his shirt. A few buttons were left open, showing off the necklaces that always hung around his neck. His intoxicating scent overpowered everything else, leaving me feeling slightly lightheaded.

He turned, glancing up at me, I didn’t miss the way his heart began to race. His eyes darkened with desire as his gaze trailed up my body, I fought to keep my heartbeat steady. He was doing it again…

His gaze alone was playing with my emotions. My stomach was fluttering like crazy and that familiar ache settled in my core… But this man was not going to touch me again. Not after how he played and used me last time, I just had to remember that.

I walked down the steps, chin held high and my hips swaying. Yep, I was just being a little more sexier than normal. My hair bouncing around me, I stopped when I approached the bottom. Reaching out, I placed a finger under his chin, trying not to gasp at the sparks that rushed through me.

“Never seen a woman before?” I asked mockingly.

He raised an eyebrow, his gaze dipping to my breasts. My satin dress left a lot of cleavage on show.
