24. 2 Clashing

MORGANA

I didn’t get it, whatever was happening between us… Something had shifted since that kiss. I didn’t getwhat, but it had. As for those thoughts, I was sure it was his wolf that I had heard. But what I couldn’t getm y head around was, was I really the Alpha Kings mate? How could that even be a possibility?

One thing I was certain of was that he had been the man at the lake, and remembering that made mycheeks burn and my core throb. That voice that had said ‘mine’ had been the very same as the voiceheard in his thoughts. I sighed deeply

As a vampire, falling in love was something that didn’t happen often, But when we found the one, ourbeloved, the connection was there… My mother said your heartbeat would race and no matter if youknew this person or not, when you laid eyes upon him you would know he was the one. Perhaps it wassimilar to werewolves and mates… I wasn’t sure but we would only truly love once. When we loved, weloved with a passion. I had been in a relationship once, but due to our different races, it wasn’t possible.He was a prince and I was a princess… Perhaps if we weren’t people who were of such high rank, wecould have gone somewhere far away and lived happily, just like he had wanted…

It had been I who had refused and said we needed to end it, but it made me think, were our feelingsstrong enough? If they had been, wouldn’t we have fought for it? There had been something missing…Love. I sighed deeply.

I was very aware of the heat radiating off the man behind me. The urge to lean against that warmth wastempting. They say a werewolf’s love for his mate was beyond reckoning, that they cannot live withoutthe other… I didn’t believe in that kind of love, especially since he clearly had a woman… Yet, why was Ithe one in his bed?

What were we? This connection I felt towards him…

I slowly turned over, my eyes falling on the dragon on his broad chiselled back Dear Lord, was heperfect… I reached over, about to touch him, but… Was he asleep? His breathing was even andrhythmic, but I wasn’t sure… I curled my fingers, retracting my hand.

‘Our mate…’I couldn’t get those words out of my head.

I closed my eyes, sighing softly. I needed to make him lower his guard around me.

Play a game so well that he doesn’t see what’s coming. But he was so guarded… It would take time, butI had never been afraid of playing a dangerous game…

And this was what this one was… A game of revenge, hate and passion. One where I needed to getclose to the king and make him trust me before I made him pay for the crimes of his kind, but also makesure that I didn’t get so consumed in the process.

He turned over and I snapped my eyes shut, unsure if he was awake or not, my heart thundering when Ifelt his arm snake around my waist. My eyes flew open and I stared into his face. His eyes were shut,and his breathing was still even. His head rested on his other arm, but even with just one arm, his holdwas fim. My stomach was going crazy and I didn’t know what to do.

I lay there stiffly, trying to think, yet I couldn’t with his body so close. The gap between our bodies wasn’tthat big, and I knew if I moved even two inches closer to him, I’d be touching certain areas of his body

Although I didn’t move, my eyes were roaming the plains of hio hard, mugculan body Up close, I couldsee the faint scars that littered his body, and I knew each one told a different story. He was in his earlytwenties, yet how much had he suffered already?

I wasn’t sure when sleep finally overcame me, or when I no longer cared that I was sleeping with theenemy. The urge to shuffle closer overtook me before I finally dropped off

The sun was burning into my back, yet I didn’t want to get up, I felt so comfortable cocooned so firmly inwarmth and comfort. Yet whatever was touching my core was making me a little horny God I was awoman after all and I hadn’t had a release in a while, urgh… it felt good My body wriggled a little and asoft sigh escaped me when it throbbed against me.

I froze, my eyes flew open realising that the cocoon was none other than the Alpha king, his arms tightaround me, his head resting above mine, his leg between mine and that thing pressing against me was,

God! I struggled in his hold, my heart thundering before I ripped free and jumped off the bed,

“Why were you holding me?!” I snapped.

He smirked, sitting up and my gaze instantly dipped to the huge tent in his pants before I looked back athis face.

“A mistake I assure you.” He said arrogantly.

“Yeah, don’t forget you are just a baby in my eyes” I lied, I knew he hated when I referred to him as that.

“Stop calling me that or I fucking swear I’ll show you how far away from a baby I am.” He growledstanding up as he came towards me.

His words sent a knot of pleasure through me, but it was a sudden thought that popped up into my headthat made me smile.

If Sage smelt his scent on me…

He narrowed his eyes instantly suspicious.

“What are you up to?” He asked.

“Oh, nothing at all.” I said turning to my wardrobe.

Scratch that, not MY wardrobe, just the one that had clothes for me… This was not my place in any way.I turned to him, just in time to see him adjust his pants.

I smirked cockily.

“You should get your precious Sage to take care of that.” I mocked, despite the sharp sting that rushedthrough me at my own words.

Instantly his mood darkened, and I realised I shouldn’t have spoken, but this was me, I didn’t really havea filter. I turned back to the wardrobe, only for him to grab my arm, spin me around and slam me againstthe drawer.

His eyes flashed gold, one hand tightened around my throat and for some sick reason it only made mycore throb.

“You’re the fucking cause, so why don’t you fix it.” He growled venomously.

“I’m not your fucking whore.” I shot back.

I don’t know what happened, but the calmness that had fallen between us last night was gone, the cold

e were enemies and that I was held here against my will returned with full force.

2 were

He smirked coldly, leaning closer, his lips grazed my ear.

“That’s a good idea actually, maybe I should get someone who can actually satiate me to take care ofme.” He growled venomously.

The sharp pain at his words was like a slap to the face, but I didn’t care, I had started it. If that’s what hewanted, then he could fucking carry on

“Please do.” I challenged.

“Don’t start a game you can’t play little she-devil.” He hissed coldly.

“A game you started…” I snapped.

“And one I will fucking end.” He said, his hand tightening around my throat before he slammed me onceagainst the wardrobe, pain shot through my head before he let go of me. Turning, he stormed from theroom, slamming the door behind him with a bang.

I closed my eyes leaning against the draw, massaging my throat. My heart was racing but not because ofwhat he had just done… but the fact he had gone… He had gone to another woman, but… I shouldn’tcare, right?

My heart thudded and I was fighting myself; my stubborness, the possessiveness I was feeling and theexcuse I was giving myself that I needed to get close to him to escape… It would really make Sagehappy if he went to her. That bitch needed to be put in her place…

It took me less than three minutes to make my decision, taking a deep breath I exhaled sharply.

Fuck, I was going to do this. In a flash I was at the door, my nose sniffing out his scent. I followed it,rushing down the hall and pushed open the door, freezing when I heard the sound of low groans comingfrom the door that was on the left wall.

That bitch sure was fast. I frowned, I had no idea what the fuck I was going to do or say, but hey, whendo I ever think, right? I stormed across the room, ready to tear that whore to pieces, yanking open thedoor I stared inside only to freeze at the sight before me.

Hot steam filled the room from the running shower, but my eyes were on the god inside it. Kian stoodthere, leaning against the wall, his hand wrapped around his huge fucking cock, looking incrediblydeliciously sexy…

My entire body tingled at the image before me, my core throbbing painfully and I pressed my thighstogether as our eyes locked.

His sharp sexy ones pierced into my own shocked ones.

Oh, kill me now… Did I just walk in on the Alpha King jerking off? 1

And looked him over?

Yep and yep.
