The Alpha King’s Possession

43. A Discovery

KIAN

Night had fallen and although I wanted to question every fucking person, I couldn’t leave her. So I had the entire fucking castle searched, every room, guest or not, I didn’t care. If someone was trying to poison Morgana or me, they would pay.

For hours, nothing had been discovered, but then Luca had told me they had found a vial under the banquet table. After testing it, it had indeed contained the poison, but how it had gotten there was still fucking beyond me. So far, no other clue had shown up.

Sighing, I stared at the ceiling, I had brought her back to my room once the doctor had checked her over a final time and she was stable. The rest was up to her, I was just making sure she was getting the rest and blood she needed. I had taken the hospital gown off and pulled one of my shirts onto her, doing my best to keep her covered.

I kept seeing the flashes of her at the dining table, the way her body

‘Stop it Kian.’ Thạnatos’ growl came.

He had been so fucking silent too. The shock that we might have lost her was still fresh in our mind.

I’m fucking trying, Thanatos!

I pulled her against my chest, burying my nose in her neck.

‘She might be angry we marked her.’ I murmured in my mind.

‘We did it to save her!’ He shot back possessively. ‘Mate loves us!’

‘I don’t know if she does…’I said quietly.

But even if she didn’t, I’d fucking make her fall for me.

I don’t know when I had fallen asleep, but I awoke when I heard Morgana’s startled gasp. Her heart began to pound as she looked around, as if trying to comprehend what happened. “You’re ok.” I said quietly, loosening my hold on her slightly, just enough to make sure she got the air and space she needed.

SU

She sat up. I placed a hand to her back, supporting her and she gasped again, her heart thudding as she pulled away from my touch.

“W-what was that?” She asked hoarsely.

“Hey, relax. You’re ok, you were poisoned.” I said quietly, feeling fucking guilty. I should have taken care of her… Instead, she almost fucking died.

“Poisoned…” She said, her heart thudded loudly, she raised a shaky hand to her forehead.

Her emotions were a mess and she looked distraught. I pulled her into my arms, making her

heart race once more.

“Why is your touch different?” She asked weakly, her head hitting my chest.

“Good different?” I asked, staring down at her.

Thank the fucking goddess that she was ok.

“Intense…” She whispered, looking up at me, her eyes were a light red.

“You need blood.” I said quietly. I didn’t mean whatever the doctors had tried to give her, butt o actually drink.

“You didn’t answer.” She whispered, her gaze falling to my neck. I looked down at her, my fingers combing her hair.
