The Alpha King’s Possession

7. Resistance

MORGANA

“Get up!” Someone shouted.

The screeching sound of the hinges of the cell door being opened made me open my eyes. I was leaning against the wall, I wasn’t sure when I fell asleep last night.

“I’m awake.” I replied icily, glaring at the two men before me haughtily. “What do you want?”

The taller of the two cocked his brow, scoffing as he looked at his partner.

“Did you hear that Gale..? She’s got an attitude even when she’s locked up down here.” He sneered.

“Lee… Don’t. You know Gerald’s orders.” Gale muttered, turning to me. He glared coldly. “Get up.”

I raised an eyebrow. Was I getting out of here? My heart thudded as I slowly stood up, tossing my hair over my shoulder. My wrists were still bloody and a mess from the other night.

I was weak, and due to the lack of food, I wasn’t healing well either. I needed blood, but I was not going to ask these beasts for anything. The urge to sink my teeth into one of them was very tempting, but I would never drink from one of these mutts.

He made to grab hold of my arm when I jerked away, glaring up at him dangerously.

“Touch me and you will lose your hands.” I hissed.

“Feisty…. I thought vampires were regal, stoic creatures.” Lee sneered. “Don’t worry, none of us wants to touch you.”

His gaze raked over my body, and I looked away disgusted. I was still in the clingy gown that stuck to me like a second skin, one that was splattered with my blood.

“Keep walking, one wrong move and we will cuff you.” Gale wamed me.

I felt the sharp poke of a blade being held to my back, so I carried on walking out through the cell door and towards the stone steps that led upwards. We emerged in a less dingy-looking corridor. Although the walls were made of stone, it was a lovely cream colour, with chandeliers above casting a warm yellow glow along the walls. The floor was a dark wood that shone pleasantly, and the walls were decorated with some artwork here and there.

We continued ahead and I keenly made sure to pay attention to the smallest of details as we climbed up another flight of steps. It was then that I realised the lower floor didn’t have windows.

We reached the top, and my heart leapt when I saw light shining through a large pair of doors up ahead.

“Don’t get any ideas!” Gale growled.

Well, I already had an idea…

I spun around, kicking the knife from his hold, my other hand darting out and using my telekinesis ability to throw him back. I caught the knife and threw it straight at Lee, who looked alarmed. He ducked, so I knocked his legs out from under him. The sound of fabric ripping told me I had ruined my dress, but it was the least of my worries.

Gale was up, shifting into a huge wolf and running at me. His menacing growl echoed off the walls, and

the saliva that dripped from his mouth told me he was angry.

“See you later! Oh, wait… More like never!” I shouted, running for the doors. A small smile crossed my lips. Despite the circumstances, I loved the exhilaration I got out of exciting situations. I burst into the sunlight just as the wolf pounced. I ducked, and he went flying right over me.

I sped up. The smooth paved stone beneath my feet was a welcome change from the snow back home.

“Grab her!” Lee shouted.

“CAN YOU FOOLS NOT DO ANYTHING?!” A third voice thundered.

I didn’t turn back, not wanting to waste precious seconds, but before I could even get any further, I was lifted off my feet and thrown over a strong shoulder. I gasped, feeling the air knocked from me. The tingles at the touch told me it was the Alpha King himself before his scent even registered.

“Don’t move.” He growled murderously.

I could feel his anger radiating off of him as he slapped my behind hard. I felt my cheeks burn, but I was glad that due to my pale skin, it was barely noticeable.

“Let me go!” I shouted, pummelling his back and trying not to pay attention to the huge tattoo that covered most of it, why was he shirtless?
