Chapter 55
Chapter 55
55. A Revelation
KIAN
I had spent all morning and most of the afternoon making love to Morgana. Leaving her thoroughly satisfied, before I told her to rest because, even if she was a vampire, I knew I had fucking drained her. Not that I regretted it; she was a fucking drug.
Her words of accepting this pup if there was one, showed what a queen she really was. But if there was one woman I wanted pups with, it was Morgana. Hopefully, we could think of that once the war was over and I had some quality time with just her first…
It was now early in the evening and I was in my office with Ethan,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) the enchanter I had mentioned to Morgana earlier. Although a few enchanters did reside in our kingdom, there weren’t as many compared to those in the Sanguine Empire.
I had told Luca to bring Sage, Liana and himself to my office. I would get my answers, and if Liana was involved…
I strummed my fingers on my desk impatiently. All I wanted was to have Morgana in my
arms.
“With mini-Kian buried in her pussy.’ Thanatos added.
‘Fuck off… Stop calling it fucking mini, I swear if you tell Morgana that’s what you call it…”.
He scoffed.
I’m sure she’ll find it funny.’ He purred hornily at the thought of her.
Once again pushing the image of her with her legs spread open to the forefront of my mind, making me groan inwardly as I felt myself twitch.
Fuck…
Luckily just then the door opened, and the trio entered. Sage was smiling, her eyes on me, yet I simply remained emotionless. I didn’t want anything to do with her.
Luca seemed to notice the enchanter before the women. He seemed confused, I didn’t blame him, considering he knew I wasn’t planning on using one and I hadn’t told him why I had called them here.
“Kian, how are you?” Sage asked. She had tried to get in touch with me a few times, but I ignored her every time, not needing her useless pleading and begging.
“Perfect.” I said smirking coldly when her gaze fell on my neck. Several marks Morgana had left just before I left our room littered my neck and hadn’t completely faded yet. “Meet my friend, Ethan.”
The women now seemed to notice the man who just seemed to blend into the surroundings. He bowed his head of black hair politely.
“What is this about?” Luca asked, shutting the door behind him and motioning for the women to take a seat, standing behind Liana’s chair.
I closed my eyes, and sure enough, I could hear that extra heartbeat aside from ours. Now the moment of truth, was it real or all just a façade… NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Oh, he’s just going to make sure that our pup is healthy. Ethan is extremely good with many kinds of magic, he’s even good at seeing illusionary spells, especially in the art of deception.” I said coldly, turning my mocking gaze on Sage.
Who to no surprise, looked pale; her lips pressed together tightly, her heart thudding loudly.
“Ethan?” I said.
“Yes, sire.” He murmured, stepping forward, his long, gangly legs crossing the room swiftly. H e reached into the pocket of his long coat, chanting something in the foreign tongue, and tossed the handful of herbs over Sage.
“L.Stop! Don’t!” Sage whimpered, fear and panic rolling off her. I observed them all; Luca was frowning, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) Liana looked confused. When Sage grabbed her stomach, she looked at her sharply.
So, she wasn’t in on it… At least that meant I didn’t need to punish her.
The chanting stopped, and with it, that small heartbeat vanished. I closed my eyes, feeling a wave of relief rush through me. No matter how fucking sure I was that she was lying, there had been a part of me that still knew it was a possibility.
“Did the fair lady know she had been enchanted and that there is no pup?”
“What… Sage?” Liana whispered, shocked. Sage looked terrified, turning to me as she jumped up from her seat.
“Kian… Kian! I only did it because-”
“How could she..?” I heard Liana mumble, sounding dumbstruck.
I guess a friend’s lie and betrayal fucking does hurt.
‘LIES! SHE UPSET MATE! KILL HER! Thanatos growled.
“Throw her in the fucking cells and she is to remain there until I say otherwise.” I said icily, standing up.
“No Kian! Please, I love you!” She cried out,
“We’re done here,” I said coldly.
“At your service my king.”
“Thank you, Ethan. Luca show him out and pay him well.”
“Yes, Alpha.”
“Have two guards escort her to the cells.” I added, making my way to the door, but before I could even reach it, she grabbed a hold of my arm.
“Kian please!” She sobbed, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I love you, I sacrificed everything for you! Please, my love! Please, for what we had, please have mercy on me!”
I ripped out of her hold, yanking the door open, my eyes blazing as I glared at the guards. “Escort Sage to the cells.” I hissed. “Kian no! Please, I love you!” Sage sobbed, wrapping her arms around me from behind, only making me angrier. I ripped her arms off me and the guards grabbed her.
“Yes, Alpha.” One of them said.
“Wait.” A familiar voice said, everyone fell silent and we all turned to see Morgana.
Dressed in a floor-length silk nightgown, her hair braided and her face an image of seriousness. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)She looked regal and breath-taking as ever, yet the calmness and power I could sense from her seemed to affect everyone.
“I am wronged! Kian, please!” Sage cried.
I walked over to Morgana and she instantly wrapped her arms around my neck, calming the raging anger of both Thanatos and I.
“So, the pregnancy wasn’t real?” She asked me quietly.
Her sweet, intoxicating scent consuming me.
“It wasn’t,” I said coldly, turning my gaze back to Sage. “She’ll be punished accordingly, for lying and deceiving her king and Alpha.”
My aura surged around me. As much as I wanted to rip her head off, I stayed in place, my hands on Morgana’s slender waist.
“As your Luna… Can I decide her punishment?” Morgana asked, much to my surprise.
‘YES! Let mate rip her head off!
But unlike Thanatos’ thoughts, I wasn’t sure that was Morgana’s plan.
“It better be harsh.” I said quietly.
Morgana sighed heavily.
“I don’t like Sage, I never have, since the day she showed up at your bedroom door.” She said. I felt the pang of hurt from her, my own guilt returning, remembering what I had done that day.
“Kian please! Don’t listen to her! I love you, she’s trying to act all innocent-”
A thunderous growl ripped from my throat, sounding completely animalistic as I glared at her murderously.
“Do not, and I mean DO NOT fucking disrespect your Queen!” I hissed, Thanatos’ voice overlaying with my own, making everyone but Morgana and Ethan flinch.
“It’s ok.” Morgana said placing a kiss on my jaw before she moved away and walked towards Sage, motioning for the guards to unhand her. “I’m not going to play the ‘oh its ok, let’s forgive her, she’s
hurting’ card.”
Sage’s eyes widened and it seemed she had been expecting exactly that, I won’t fucking lie, I even I thought that.
‘See mate is good! Thanatos chuckled proudly.
However, Morgana’s next move took us all by surprise as she raised her hand, slapping Sage across the face, hard.
Sage gasped, clutching her cheek as she stumbled under the impact.
I almost smirked.
That’s my fucking girl.
“What you did, was disgusting and low.” Morgana said coldly. “I understand you were desperate. You love him and seeing another woman take away what you always thought would be yours would surely hurt. But I won’t apologise for that, Kian made his choice and he ended it with you. Yet to cause conflict in a useless attempt to win him back? You played such a game…”
She shook her head as everyone remained silent watching her.
“Why are you so hung up on a man who doesn’t even treat you well?” She asked Sage, her voice now softer. “You are more than that, a man is not enough to destroy yourself over.”
“I love him.”
“And so do I! You trying to manipulate him by this fake pregnancy has angered me. I know he has made mistakes… and for that, I don’t feel being thrown in the cells is fair.” Morgana said coldly.
My eyes widened in shock, I was not expecting that… Neither was Sage or anyone else. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)”Banish her from the palace and this pack, strip her of her rank and make her an omega for life.” Morgana stated, her eyes blazing as she turned away from Sage, who looked shell shocked. “That is for lying to your king.”
Sage let out a scream, about to collapse to her knees, but the guards caught her, keeping her upright. Tears streamed down her cheeks, realising her life was forever changed. Perhaps
she thought she would have gotten out of the cell… No, she wouldn’t have if it had been my choice.
This punishment was not as harsh as mine, but it was also a strong and befitting punishment.
I looked at the woman who is my fucking all and our eyes met. I gave her a small nod, proud o f her. She really was made to be queen and it was high time I did my queen’s biddings.
‘Who would have thought the Alpha would become a fucking puppy.’ Thanatos snickered.
‘Fuck off.’I growled.
But to an extent, I would do as she wished; I’d let her take charge over some matters… Yet there were certain aspects of our relations that I will always remain dominant. After all, even i f I was the Alpha male, she… she was my fucking equal.
I stepped forward, cracking my knuckles before stopping a few feet from Sage.
“I Kian Araqiel, King of Clair De Lune and Alpha of The Midnight Eclipse Pack, demote you Sage Oakwood to the rank of Omega and expel you from the Midnight Eclipse Pack for your crimes against your king and queen. Effective immediately.”
A piercing scream filled the air as I felt the pack link break between us. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) The final connection I had had with Sage was gone for good.
