The Alpha King’s Possession

17. 17. A Mistake

KIAN

The following day, I left before she even woke up. Posting one of the omega girls in the room, I told her if she woke up to tell Oliver, who was standing right outside the door, and to take her to the kitchens to work.

She could spend the day without blood. She deserved the punishment. I don’t know why I was avoiding her, but last night I wasn’t able to sleep. Turning towards her, I had just watched her sleep.

She moved a lot in her sleep, not something one would expect from a vampire. The stories were that they were stoic things who slept as if they were dead. But this one tumed from her side to her back, then on to her stomach, then on to her side, which gave me the perfect view of her breasts.

The moonlight had shone through a crack in the curtains, illuminating her. She really was the daughter of the night, and it was at night that she looked even more breath-taking… She had turned onto her stomach only to roll onto her back again. The cycle never stopped. She talked in her sleep too, although it made no sense. I guess she really had too much energy during her slumber…

But I hadn’t been able to sort myself out. It was weird, I had sacrificed my sleep to simply watch her. I forgot everything until morning came, when reality settled in once again. She was my slave, nothing more. I would reject her and cut this stupid bond, and if she refused to accept my rejection, then I would kill her.

‘You won‘t.’ Thanatos said quietly.

‘I will.’ I replied coldly, shutting him out.

‘Keep shutting me off, Kian. And there may come a day I’ll cut you off’ He growled before I put my wall up. That ruined my mood for the entire fucking moming.

It was way after lunch, and I was doing some paperwork in my office. I had asked Andrei to get someonet o bring me my lunch upstairs. I had heard from him that Morgana had gotten to work without a word. I hated that she didn’t answer me when I asked her to.

A light knock on the door made me growl.

“What is it!” I snapped.

“A-Alpha… lunch.” A young woman’s voice came.

I clenched my jaw, trying to reign in my irritation.

“Enter.” I growled.

Frowning when I realised she barely looked seventeen at most… if she had been older maybe I could have gotten some pent-up emotion taken care of. Women didn’t really say no when it came to me, but just in case they agreed out of fear, I usually got Luca to arrange someone for me. Morgana flashed in my head and I exhaled sharply. Since she had arrived, my sex life was fucking suffering.

The girl before me placed the tray down, shaking. I was sure I had seen her before several times, and I was sure she hadn’t been shaking then.

“Stop it.” I snapped making her flinch.

“A-Alpha…” She whispered, brushing a strand of her brown hair off her face. “C-can I have a moment of your time?”

I frowned. What did she want? Didn’t Liana handle this sort of thing or Sage?

“You can talk to Sage or Liana.”

“It-it’s to do with M-Morgana.” She whimpered.

The fear was rolling off her, and I looked at her coldly.

“Then stop shaking with fucking fear. What is it?”
