The Alpha King’s Possession

64. The Prince’s Promise MORGANA Last night had been magical, something about just letting our emotions out felt... special. We were both strong-minded and strong-willed, for us to just let our fears and thoughts out like that... well, it wasn’t something we did often. | guess unknowingly, Orrian did us a favour. The following morning, a maid brought us food and ran us a bath. We bathed together, and | won't deny that we made love once more. Once we had eaten, gotten dressed and finally left our suite, we were led to Orrian’s office, or what looked like a huge meeting room. Like the rest of the castle, it was vast, all made of marble and white stone that seemed to shimmer. An oval table with many chairs stood in the middle. Orrian himself was there seated at the head of the table, dressed in all white and his crown set on his head. Today his hair was braided fully, only a few strands were left out framing his face. (This will be daily updtaed at www.jar.com)”Morgana, Alpha Kian, | hope you slept well.” He said emotionlessly. “Yes, we did.” | said, lacing my fingers with Kian’s. He gave a curt nod and motioned for us to take a seat. | took the seat next to Kian, ready to put my request on the table. you, although | have an idea.” He said, looking at us. “It is | who has asked Kian to chere. As you know, my brother has joined hands with the Fae Kingdom... and have made it clear that they are ready to destroy Clair De Lune. | know we have not spoken in years, but you once toldyou would always be there if the tarose. | know perhaps it's cheeky ofto request this, but for the children of our kingdom, for our men and women who will surely lose their lives if this war takes place...

Will you help us in this war? We reached out to Azrael, but he refused to back down. We were meant to be at peace since | was taken to Claire De Lune, but he has simply turned his back on that treaty.” | said, my anger blazing. Kian’s hand on my leg calmedslightly, yet | was still angry, unable to calm the raging storm within me. “I was willing to look past the murder of my father, which was at the hands of the vampires, and to make things better for the people of both kingdoms, but they completely refused. | am putting my pride aside and asking you, as the king of Clair De Lune, for your help.(This will be daily updtaed at www.jar.com)” Kian said. Despite his words, the power radiating off him was a clear reminder that he was indeed a king. One who was willing to ask for help for his people. An honourable king. “At what cost? What are you willing to give up for our help?” Orrian asked, his calculatingly eyes on Kian. Kian’s eyes blazed, yet when he spoke, his voice was still level. “Anything but my people and my queen.” He said icily.

Orrian smirked ever so lightly, yet there was no humour in it. “Then what can you offer us?” “How about you put it on the fucking table what you want instead of going around in damn circles.” Kian said coldly. Typical of Orrian to do that... Kian on the other hand was very straightforward. “Nothing... | promised Morgana to help her, and it’s clear she sees Clair De Lune as her home.” Orrian replied, his voice emotionless and cold. | could feel Kian’s intense gaze onwhen | stood up, bracing my hands on the table. “So then... Will the arrows of Elandorr fly for Clair De Lune?” | asked quietly, looking into those icy grey eyes of his. “I am not yet king, but as the crown prince, | command thirty percent of the elven army. My men and I, will ride for the queen of Clair De Lune and victory.” His words made my eyes fly open in surprise. He himself was going to participate? “And if ever Elandorr needs the king of Clair De Lune to help you in anyway, we will be there.” Kian said, both men looked at each other and Orrian nodded. It was clear Kian was not going to accept his help without promising something in return. “I am glad we have got this sorted.(This will be daily updtaed at www.jar.com) Tonight, father has organised a party to welcyou both, the first werewolf king and queen of Clair De Lune to step into this kingdom. He knows you are friends of mine... | would appreciate it if we kept it at that.” Orrian said quietly. “Obviously, it’s the way I'd prefer it to.” Kian said, his voice cold and passive. Orrian gave a curt nod, | was glad this was sorted. Thirty percent of the army was a large number and would help greatly. As for Orrian not wanting his father to know about us, | liked it like that.

After all, | didn’t want more conflict. Besides, | only wanted to be known for what | am, Kian’s queen. Mine and Orrian’s relationship had been a passing secret and would . remain that. “What are the plans? Do you have a battle strategy?” Orrian asked Kian. “My men say the Fae army is gathering, within a month they will move in. My men are also preparing, leaving ssquads to protect the people with the enchanters. The way they will attack is through the western woods, using the trees as cover, not the ones on this side. It also makes it harder for us, considering the passage through that area is hard to surpass. So, | was thinking if we get there first... we take the forest as our own and meet them there.” Kian said, his eyes calculating. His hand once again laced with mine, resting on my thigh. “A good plan, but you will have to move faster. | think you mean these forests?(This will be daily updtaed at www.jar.com)” Orrian pushed a map over to Kian, who cocked a brow. “It is interesting that you have such detailed maps of my kingdom.” He said, glancing up at the elven man. “We are always prepared, knowledge is power.” He replied. “Yeah, that forest.” Kian said, frowning slightly. “Then how about we block it off, divert the battle to this open plain. If we take this stance then they have to travel through the mountain pass, narrowing their entrance, less troops at once.” Orrian said, tapping a certain area of the map. I listened, | had to admit the men knew what they were talking about. | nodded, understanding perfectly well how that would give us an advantage. “Unclaimed land...” “The best place for a battle to take place.” Orrian said. | pulled the map closer, tilting my head.

“Here, this is where we will wait.” | said, tapping a finger on the map. Both men looked atcuriously. It was just an open area, not far from the narrow mountain pass. “Why there?” Orrian asked. “Because the arch of Olen is there.” | said, mentioning the arch of pure ice in the mountain pass. “Don’t tellyou want to target that....” Kian said keenly. | smiled in approval that he understood. “That is exactly what I'm saying. We bring it down. It will help us kill off many at the stime.” | said. Kian smirked and nodded. “Impressive, for once you are thinking ahead before acting.” He mocked lightly, despite the look of approval on his face. | rolled my eye. “That's what you're there for, to fix things after | mess them up. What's the need to think when you do enough for us both.” | replied airily. “I guess that’s fucking true.” Kian said, cupping the back of my neck as his lips met mine in a passionate kiss We were the perfect power couple, | was not going to deny that. We broke apart, my heart still pounding from his touch, as Kian gaveone of his sexy smirks. “We will set out first thing in the morning. When should we expect you?” Kian asked. “Two weeks. | will have my men ready within a fortnight.” “I will let my own men know to expect you. | will keep your assistance a secret, | do not want the enemy to know.” Orrian nodded. “Perhaps us staying hidden until the battle might work out better.” “Orrian... If you take your army... Won't it weaken you inside Elandort?” | asked suddenly, | knew his other brothers wanted the throne and each held a portion of the army, with Orrian having the most... He raised an eyebrow. “Then let's hope that | don’t lose many.” He said clearly un-phased. | frowned but nodded, no matter what | would be grateful to him. We discussed the path and how this would work when | frowned at something Kian had just said. “Why will it take us over two weeks to return home?” | asked. “Because we will go to the Sanguine Empire.” He said, shockingand Orrian too. “Why?” | asked, staring at him. “To speak to your brother, once and for all. Let's see if we can prevent this war... They are your people too,” He said quietly. My heart thrummed loudly as | stared at him. (This will be daily updtaed at www.jar.com)His words madesmile faintly. “I never knew my handsAlpha could be so thoughtful.” | teased. “I had no fucking idea either.” He replied coldly, and | couldn't help but giggle at that. He really was perfect! “Well, | think we have our plan in place. We will discuss the details after lunch.” Orrian added. “Perfect.” Kian said, | smiled. Tonight's dinner would be the last light-hearted fun we were going to have in a while, so | would make the most of it.
