45. 4 A Truth Under The Setting Sun

MORGANA

Guilt was eating up at me, I had almost poisoned him… I could have killed him… Even if I had backed out at the last minute, it didn’t change the fact that I had tried.

I ran my fingers over the mark that now bound me to him, a mark that guaranteed how serious he was about me. If he had wanted, he could have left me to die and he would have been free of me.

I still remember the panic and fear in his voice as he rushed me from the hall, the concern in his eyes when I woke up. With the bond now connecting us, I had felt the emotions from him… Kian may even love me… No… I was sure he did… When I drank his blood, those intense emotions…

I placed my head in my hands, feeling exhausted, and not only physically.

I needed to tell him, even if he got angry… We needed to talk and I really needed to ask him about my father too. These emotions inside of me… I don’t know how long I could fight them for, I just needed some clarity before it was too late…

With renewed resolve, I decided to talk to him when he returned today. Getting up, I took a shower and decided to make myself look a little presentable. I looked like death itself, and that’s saying something for a vampire.

After showering, I spent a good twenty minutes selecting out the perfect outfit. I don’t know why I wanted to make an effort but… maybe if he got too angry, I could calm him down with m y charm.

Yes, that was the reason. It had nothing to do with how I loved the way he looked at me, as if I was a treat he wanted to devour… After slipping on some red lace lingerie, I chose a chiffon

ivory blouse that was slightly sheer, showing off my bright bra underneath. With the tops dipping neckline that revealed an ample amount of cleavage, it looked rather sexy. I then chose a red suede pencil skirt that fell mid-thigh, finishing off with a pair of black stilettos.

Once my hair was dry, I decided to style it in a little quiff that I pinned back, leaving a few strands out to frame my face and the rest falling down my back nicely. I then got to my makeup, settling for a winged black liner and red lips. Applying some shimmer to highlight m

y face and a touch of blush to give me some life, I was almost done. Finally picking out some earrings and a dangly necklace that fell between my breasts, I was satisfied with how I looked.

My gaze fell to the ring that Kian had given me, a ring of a promise… I was going to tell him no matter what.

Noon had come and gone, but apart from the doctor and a few omegas to give me food, Kian hadn’t come. Even the guard who was in the hall simply said he was busy.

It was now sunset and I was beginning to worry, I felt anxious in the pit of my stomach. Where was he? And how come he didn’t even come to check up on me? Sure he didn’t need to but… did something happen?

I had felt restless, even going for a walk outside, but I felt uneasy and had returned. Instead pacing around the large halls, trying to occupy myself by looking at the paintings on the wall. I was now down the hall on the first floor at the large balcony, staring out at the setting sun when I heard footsteps. Kian’s familiar scent reached me. I turned, my heart pounding despite trying to remain calm, remembering our moment from earlier before he had left.

He stopped when he saw me and his eyes trailed over me, darkening as he drank in my appearance.

For once, I didn’t know what to do with my hands. So instead, I placed them on the balcony behind me, crossing my legs as I perched on the edge. But the moment Kian’s gaze went to m y breasts and the hunger filled his eyes, my stomach knotted. He walked towards me, like a predator coming for his prey, so I leaned back until I couldn’t anymore.

“Any special occasion for you to look so fucking sexy, sunshine?” He asked huskily, his legs o n either side of mine. His one hand trailing up my bare thigh, making my heart pound violently.

“No…” I said, sounding breathless.

I frowned, looking at him up close. He looked… exhausted… And was that worry in his eyes?

“What happened?” I asked sharply, all my nervousness gone.

“Why do you think something happened?” He asked, burying his nose in my neck, making me gasp. His strong arms pulled me up against him. Wrapping them around me tightly and caging me against him.

I could sense the storm of emotions that he was trying to suppress. Concern filled me and I ran my hand through his hair, caressing the back of his neck.

“Kian… I can sense it, what’s wrong?”

en

“Nothing for you to worry about.” He murmured, kissing my neck softly, making me shiver in pleasure. The pressure between my legs was growing, so I pressed my thighs together, I needed to focus… but how could I focus when Kian was pressed against me so perfectly, his manhood pushing against my core. All I wanted to do was give in to all the dirty thoughts that were consuming my mind, but before I did anything crazy, I needed to tell him the truth and ask him too.

“Please tell me,” I asked, pulling his head back and away from my neck.

My entire body was leaning against his arms. If he let go, I’d probably tumble to the floor.

“War is upon us, Morgana… The attacks that we’ve been facing were the Fae and I just got a reply from your brother.” He said quietly.

“What did he say?” I asked, my heart thudding at the revelation that Kian had just shared.

“He refused. They had joined sides with the Fae Kingdom.”

My eyes flew open, anger raising with me as a huge aura swirled around me.

“Whoa…” Kian muttered. I took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

“Sorry. That bastard! Allow me to return to the empire, I’ll rip his heart out and make him pay.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why are you so upset? If war comes, it means you have a high chance of being able to return. Isn’t that what you want?”

I felt a sharp pang inside of me. Why was he saying that?

“Do you want me to go?” I asked quietly. Confused at his odd question.

He frowned,

“I already told you, I want you by my side… I have fallen for you Morgana and when an Alpha cares for someone this strongly… it never ceases. Do you still wish to see my ruin?”

Why did I feel like there was more to this?

“Are you giving up hope?” I asked softly. “Do you think we can’t survive this war?”

“I won’t lie, if we do win, it will be barely. Two kingdoms against one, gives us a very huge disadvantage-”

“Then let’s reach out to the Elves!” I said suddenly, my heart racing as the idea came to me. I pulled out of his arms, brushing a strand of my hair þack. “The kingdom of Elandorr will never say no to us.”

He frowned coldly, crossing his arms sceptically.

“They won’t fucking care. They are far too arrogant to get off their high horses. No one will touch them, so why do you think they’ll help.”

I smiled confidently, snapping my fingers. “Because, I am friends with the future King, Prince Orrian.”

That seemed to surprise him. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously, staring at me.

“Friendship alone isn’t going to guarantee them sacrificing their people for us.”

My cheeks flushed slightly, I hoped he didn’t notice it.

“We… We have a past… He promised me, if I ever needed him, he’d be there.”

Kian’s eyes flashed, and I saw the spark of jealousy in them.

“Care to explain that past?”

I rolled my eyes.

‘Seriously, Kian? After Sage, do you even have any right to ask me?” “Yes, I do.” He growled. Despite the seriousness of the situation, I couldn’t resist a smirk.

“Well, I couldn’t wait a hundred years for my little baby Alpha to be born now, could I?” I couldn’t pass up the chance to tease him. He was rather amusing when he got angry.

His eyes flashed, and the powerful aura that swirled around him told me I had pushed him too far. In a flash, he was before me, slamming me against the wall on the left, his hand wrapped around my throat.

The glowing hues of the sunset behind him only adding to how powerful the man before me looked in this moment.

“Do I need to remind you that I am not a fucking pup?” He growled.

I bit my lip, I actually wouldn’t mind that… but… I needed to tell him first… Kian’s gaze dipped t o my lips, the anger and rage within him only grew, but now it was laced with desire and lust.

“As much as I would love to… I need to tell you something.” I whispered softly, firmly trying to push him away.

“Make it fast…” He whispered huskily, pressing his body against mine.

“I poisoned the food.” I blurted out.

Kian froze, his heart thudding as his gaze snapped to mine.

“What?”

“I… I was meant to poison you… but I couldn’t go through with it… So I took it myself.” I whispered, my own stomach churning with nerves so much I felt sick.

Never had I felt so worried about something I had done as I did right now, staring into the raging golden eyes of an Alpha king ready to kill…
