The Alpha King’s Possession

35. Trying To Do Better

KIAN

I couldn’t fucking lose her. The moment she was ready to walk away, I couldn’t stop myself, I needed her and so I promised her something which I knew was going to throw the entire fucking summit into chaos. But… She was worth it.

We had a fucking messed up start, but I couldn’t fucking continue. Each day my resolve was breaking and I was pushing her away. If she wanted to be my one and only, officially, then that was fine… I didn’t get women; it wasn’t like I was going to cheat on her. I would deal with the Alpha’s and the backlash this was going to cause… Yes, the timing was fucking off, but if this could solidify the treaty between her kingdom and mine, it may ease the council’s wrath.

“She is strong.’ Thanatos growled encouragingly.

‘I know, she’s already fucking broken me down.’ ‘I have a complaint.’ Thanatos grumbled as I stripped out of my clothes, shifting into wolf

form.

‘You always fucking do.’

‘Mate, looked so sexy tonight. Why didn’t you eat her for dessert? You are a bad date.’

I mentally cocked a brow.

‘Seriously, as much as I want to eat her out, she’ll probably snap my neck if I tried.’

As we broke into a run, he laughed and I relished the wind that rushed through my fur, mind linking Corbin to keep an eye out that no one broke into my quarters. Although I had guards posted all around, I still wanted someone I truly trusted around her.

I wasn’t sure what they would think of this but I was too fucking close to losing her.

‘Sage.’

‘Kian?’ Her hopeful voice came.

‘I want to talk to you first thing in the morning. Meet me on the west side.’

Oh ok, I’ll be there. I hope you’re ok Kian, you weren’t at the dinner.’

‘I’m fine. See you tomorrow, Sage.’

I cut the link, thinking I was going to do this.

I returned home and slipped into my bedroom. She had changed out of that fucking dress that had me hard for her. Her gorgeous hair was still in its curls but her flawless face was free

of the makeup that had made me fucking want to tell her I’ll fucking worship her day and night as long as she stayed by my fucking side.
