The Alpha King’s Possession

Chapter 23

23. Pillow Talk

KIAN

Her words sent a wave of emotions through me. How the fuck did she know that?! I did nothing to hint.. fuck… I swallowed hard, my heart thudding as I stared back into those shocked eyes of hers. She was waiting for an answer I didn’t have, well one I couldn’t give her.

“Don’t give yourself so much fucking importance. How can a vampire be mated to a werewolf?” I asked with a scomful tone in my voice.

“Exactly, it’s practically unheard of…” She whispered, placing a hand on her head, her hair curtaining her face.

I couldn’t let her know. If she realised, she had one on me… And if anyone else found out… she could be in way more fucking danger than she could ever imagine. And above all … they would use her against me.

Would you care or let her rot to her death?’ Thanatos growled.

Just the thought of her getting hurt… I moved back, my heart thundering. If anything happened to her, I’d never be able to forgive myself. The very thought was like a fucking bitch slap to the face. Somehow, I was growing attached to her… This was fucking not the plan…

I remained composed, getting off the bed, and walking over to the small fridge I had on the bottom of one o f my bookshelves. Opening it, I grabbed a water bottle. Unscrewing it, I held it out to her.

“Drink.” I said.

She looked up at me suddenly, her gaze going to the water bottle before she reached out for it. It was then that I realised she was shaking slightly. She took it, doing her best not to tremble. Our fingers brushed, and the familiar rush of tingles coursed through me. Our eyes met before she moved hers away quickly, gulping the water down. A few trickles escaped, trailing down her neck and in between her breasts…

I wouldn’t mind lapping them up…

‘And I wouldn’t mind licking every inch of her. Stop being a fucking pussy, man up and get our mate and mate her!” Thanatos growled.

‘When that happens, I’m fucking blocking you off.’ I shot back.

He was becoming a fucking homy dog, and it was pissing me off.

‘Everything pisses you off.’ Thanatos shot back.

She was about to place the bottle down when I reached over, taking it from her, putting the lid back on, and placing it on the bedside table.

“What happened to you?” I asked.

“Nothing.” She said, frowning deeply.

I wanted to push it, but something told me that now was not the fucking time.

“Fine. Then drink and sleep.” I said coldly, holding out my wrist.

‘Not the fucking wrist! Let her drink from our neck so we feel good!’ Thanatos growled.

He was the very reason I wasn’t going to allow it; I was already feeling him fight ing for dominance. She

looked surprised, her gazing dipping to my hand.

“What’s the catch,” She asked suspiciously,

I was glad she was at least partially back to her normal self.

I cocked my brow

“There’s no fucking catch. Now drink or you lose your fucking chance.”

She smirked.

“Ok.” She said, grabbing my hand.

She opened her mouth, her fangs becoming even more pronounced, and bit into my wrist viciously. A sharp sting of pain rushed up my arm, but it didn’t bother me,

I knew she did it on purpose, but I didn’t really care, I could deal with the fucking pain. My focus was on the way she was drinking hungrily, her eyes half hooded, her hand holding mine gently

Her hands were fucking soft, as if they had never seen a hard day in life. I was surprised she was good with weapons considering how smooth her hands were.

Pleasure ran up my arm in delicious sparks and I fucking felt it rush south

Think of something else, Kian, anything else but how she’s making me fucking feel.

After a few moments, she drew back and licked her lips. A trickle of blood remained at the corner of her mouth, and the urge to wipe it away was strong.

‘Or just admit you need an excuse to fucking touch her. Let’s do it’

‘Fuck Thanatos.’

‘No, fuck mate.’ 3

I ran my hand down my face, massaging my jaw. He really was doing my head in. I looked at her as she licked her lips once more, but still missed that corner

“Can I ask a question?” She asked, looking at me keenly.

“That already is one.” I said, gathering up my files and placing them aside.

I wasn’t going to be able to fucking focus on anything with her around.

“Does your wolf… have a voice?” She asked, shaking the rumpled bedding out before getting in

I looked at her sharply. That was not the question I was expecting her to ask.

“Yeah, he has his own personality and can talk.”

Shame though

‘Shut it, let me enjoy this. Our mate is asking about me.’ Thanatos purred.

I resisted rolling my eyes as I dropped onto the bed, laying back on the cushion. She was still sitting up. watching me, but there was something different in her eyes, a deep curiosity as if she was working something out.

“What’s it like to have a wolf that speaks in your head?”

1 cocked a brow, trying not to focus on that little smear of blood at the corner of her lips. Why the fuck was

she so sexy?

‘Because

‘Shut it.’I cut Thanatos off and looked at her.

“Like an annoying fucking conscience that never shuts the fuck up.” I muttered.

Her lips twitched in a small smile.’ This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“I guess that would be pretty cool. You would never be lonely, no matter who you lose… Your wolf is something that will always be there by your side. Kind of amazing.” She said.

“So, you’re saying being a werewolf is amazing?” I remarked, as she slowly laid down again.

She tumed towards me, resting her elbow on the pillow and placing her head on her hands. My heart skipped a fucking beat when my gaze was drawn to the tops of her creamy breasts, which were spilling out of her top. I slowly forced my attention upwards to that gorgeous face of hers. Goddess, she was fucking ravishing…

“I didn’t say that, I just said it’s cool. A person would never be alone, even if everyone they loved passed away.” She replied softly. A flicker of pain flashed in her eyes, but it was gone as fast as it came.

“Maybe that’s why you aren’t a fucking she-wolf because no one would be able to survive two of you.” I remarked.

Thanatos growled possessively

‘Oh, I could survive it. Whilst one rides mini Kian, the other one can ride our face-‘ 2

I frowned, blocking him off, trying to push away the image he had planted in my brain.

“A she-wolf? Yeah, I don’t think so, I’m glad I’m not one.” She rolled her eyes, her voice saving me from my fucking thoughts. She dropped onto her back looking displeased. “There’s nothing amazing about she wolves anyway.”

“Oh yeah? Then why are you oozing jealousy?”

“Me ? Jealous? I don’t think so. Morgana Araton doesn’t do jealous.” She said airily.

She’s fucking jealous. It was now my turn to prop myself up on my elbow, smirking arrogantly.

“You’re pretty easy to read, sunshine.”

“I’m not. What’s there to be jealous about? I’m the most beautiful woman in this kingdom.” She stated haughtily.”Now I’m going to sleep.”

She tumed her back to me and my lips twitched into a small smile. My little she-devil was indeed jealous. I tilted my head, looking at her slender back and shoulders. Any man would enjoy their mate and their presence, feeling jealous and possessive of them, and I was no less. Even if she was a vampire…

I reached over, running my knuckles down her back between her back blades. She gasped, her back arching at my touch, her heart thundering as she turned back towards me.

I schooled my face into an emotionless mask. Sucking on the end of my thumb, I reached over, rubbing the corner of her mouth and removing the bloodstain from the corner of her lips. Her breath hitched and her heart raced as I cupped her chin, my eyes meeting those deep red ones of hers.

“I agree, you are.” I said, before I moved away smoothly, switching the lamp off and turning my back on

her.

Right now, if she wanted to tear me to pieces, she probably could, and I wouldn’t care. My own emotions were a fucking storm, and was it wrong to simply relish in the fact that her scent enveloped me and calmed me so fucking much?

“Obviously.” Came her airy smile, and I smirked, closing my eyes.

That’s my girl.
