Chapter 36
36. A Taste Of Her Skills
KIAN
Her words rang in my head, I turned to her sharply.
“There’s no proof you are.” I said coldly.
“I am, I haven’t had my periods and I have been feeling really nauseous!” She exclaimed, coming over to me. “Just give it a few
weeks, you will be able to hear the heartbeat!” My heart was thumping fucking hard.
‘No... I don’t care... We cannot go against our fucking promise to mate! Thanatos growled.
‘I know. I fucking know...‘
But that was my pup...
I stepped away from her, frowning as the news swirled around me like a fucking storm. I couldn’t hurt her, I couldn’t do this. Not
to Morgana.
“I will support you through this pregnancy, raise that child as my own... but I made a promise Sage, I can’t fucking break it.” I
said quietly.
It was at that moment that I realised no matter what was fucking thrown at me, I’d keep my word to her.
“Kian, we are having a baby!” Sage sobbed, grabbing hold of my arm.
“Sage... Look, we can’t do this anymore. I told you I’ll support you, but nothing more. Besides, until a heartbeat is heard, this is
just a useless assumption.” I said quietly.
‘Good.’ Thanatos growled.
“I love you, Kian!”
“And I love Morgana!” I snapped, my heart thudding when those words left my lips. 3
Fuck.
Thanatos chuckled.
‘Oh yeah, fuck indeed, you admitted the truth.’
Sage seemed to have frozen in shock. Her eyes which were filled with hurt and betrayal were fixed on mine. I frowned at her,
pulling out of her hold.
“Now you know, I hope you understand that. Like I said, I’ll be here for you regarding the pregnancy and the child, but nothing
more. You may stay in the castle as you are and you will be given guards. However, don’t try to come between Morgana and
me.” I said coldly, my eyes piercing into hers.
Turning, I walked off, but I didn’t get far when I saw Kai standing there looking shocked Shit don’t tell me heard...
Fucking hell.
“What you fucking heard stays between us.” I growled, walking off. I didn’t have time for this shit
“Kian... Morgana is she the-”
“Whatever she is, you can fucking keep the fuck out of it.” I growled.
“Alright... Well... I had some... Never mind, you’re right, it’s not my business.” Kai said, frowning
Yeah, I wasn’t fucking interested...
Heading inside I didn’t know what to think of it. Was it a lie? She was desperate, I don’t think she would have waited to tell me
such news if she was... Maybe it was a lie. We hadn’t been intimate in a while. If she was, then I’d be able to hear a heartbeat
very soon. I would get someone to keep an eye on her discreetly, and if this was a lie, then she would be punished for it.
‘And if she is pregnant?’
‘Then I’ll take care of her as promised.’ I replied curtly.
‘Just the pup!
‘It would just be a cordial relationship, I will not hurt Morgana. Don’t worry.’ I replied coldly.
And what about Morgana? Do I tell her? No... I won’t tell her until it’s confirmed. One thing I knew about Morgana was that she
was unpredictable. Who knows if she’d agree to give me a chance if I told her Sage might be pregnant? So there was no point in
announcing it until I knew for sure.
Speaking of... I was meant to test her skills soon. Let’s see what my little blood rose was capable of.

We were in my inner courtyard, an area that was surrounded completely by my wing so it was just the two of us. The large castle
walls blocked off most of the sunlight, and this particular one had many trees to give us extra shade.
I glanced at her. She was dressed in black flared pants and a fitted white top. Her long hair was pulled into a high ponytail, and
she was spinning the two long swords she had chosen.
As much as passing her weapons might be dangerous, I could handle her if she tried something
‘Mate would never hurt us!’ Thanatos growled.
‘She is capable of anything.’ I replied with a small smirk.
“What are you smirking at?” She asked suspiciously.
“Just wondering if those scrawny arms of yours will be able to handle those swords.”
That made her glare at me.
“I am a lot stronger than I look, baby Alpha.”
I cocked my brow.
“Oh yeah? You are yet to prove it.” I taunted.
Her eyes blazed with anger. She was before me in a flash, I raised the staff I was holding. My aim was to test her, not hurt her.
She spun around, sliding one sword under as I jumped back, i t was clear she was aiming for the kill though.
“I don’t play, I fight to win.” She whispered, my gaze fell to her lips. As much as I wanted to simply pull her close and claim them,
I would soon be gutted if she kept this up.
Soon we were a blur, her striking, me blocking and sometimes I’d aim a hit, but she was perfect. Her every move was fluid and
she was ready to counter at any second. She kept her defence up at all times. The only thing she left open a rare few times was
her left hip, I guess that was where I was going to aim to end this.
“Not getting tired are you, sunshine?” “Not at all. Don’t get too cocky.” She shot back icily.
Teasing her was indeed fun. I realised I hadn’t given her any blood again... I guess it was timet o end this now.
I spun around, knocking one of her swords aside and hit her side with my staff. She gasped, not expecting that as her weapon
fell from her grasp. I yanked the other from her grip and grabbing her wrist spun her around.
She gasped as I pulled her against me, caging her against my body.
“I win.” I whispered from behind, my eyes falling to her rising and falling chest.
She turned her head towards me struggling to free herself from my hold, only making me close my eyes as I tried not to focus on
her ass pressed against my dick. The sparks were already sending a storm within me.
“You cheated.” She said displeased, her voice breathless and so fucking hot.
“Oh, I assure you I didn’t...” Imurmured, running my hand down her stomach and tossing the staff aside, I brushed my other
hand up her waist.
Goddess, I fucking wanted to do so much to her...
“Well, the sun is out, that slows me down too.” She pouted. “I demand a rematch!”
Don’t tell me she’s a fucking sore loser?
I smirked.
“Never realised you were a sore loser princess.” I mocked.
She glared at me but I simply flashed her a smirk, pressing my lips to the base of her neck. Her breath hitched and I heard her
let out a soft sigh.
“But you weren’t bad, impressive actually, you only need a little work on keep this part covered.”

I tapped her hip and she gasped, I smirked: These sparks, this feeling, she couldn’t ignore them forever.
“Impressive you saw that on your first match with me, it has always been my weakness, but usually people won’t pick up on it
unless they have fought with me several times.” She said.
“I’ll work with you.” I said, her heart thundered, and I smirked.
I promised to make you mine and I meant it.
“So... I talked to Sage...” I whispered.
She tensed and her heartbeat quickened.
“And?” She asked, although she tried to sound nonchalant, the beat of her heart gave her
away.
“And I made it clear that the only one I am interested in and want... is my mate.” I said quietly, sucking hard at the corner of her
neck.
Yes, those feelings were far fucking deeper but I couldn’t tell them to her yet.
“And who said your mate wants you?” She replied haughtily.
“I’m not sure... does she?” I asked, letting my hand trail down over her stomach.
Her heart was only beating louder with each passing second, my hand inching into the band o f her pants. “Kian...” She
whispered warningly.
“I’m yours, little she-devil. Let me show you the fucking stars.” I murmured, my hand slid lower as she bit her lip.
Fuck I hadn’t even touched her yet... But these sparks were fucking messing with my head as well. My hand brushed over her
panties and she gasped.
Oh, she felt so fucking good. I massaged her over her thin panties, before pushing them aside. I missed this, I could fucking
touch her day and night and never get bored of this...
“Fuck!” She moaned the moment my finger touched her clit.
With my free hand, I cupped her breast, massaging her, waiting for her to pull away...
I massaged her pussy, smirking to find her already wet for me. I was already fucking hard for her and the scent of her arousal
that hung in the air was making me come undone
Goddess, she was fucking fine. I ran my hand along her pussy before thrusting two fingers into her already dripping core.
“Fuck!” She gasped. She turned her head towards me.
The storm of emotions there told me she was fighting this, fighting the bond or whatever the fuck she was feeling, and as much
as I wanted to fucking make her come right here, I wanted her to beg for it...
I couldn’t focus on anything but the fact that I wanted her. My own dick pressed against her ass, it was fucking hard and I faintly
heard myself growl. I wanted to mark her and fucking mate her.
It took all of my willpower to slide my fingers out, rubbing them over her clit as I kissed her neck hungrily. Squeezing her breast
hard, I slid my fingers out of her trousers and slipped them into her mouth, wrapping my other hand around her throat.
“I’ll wait, wait for the day you beg for more and you will.” I whispered huskily, fucking throbbing hard when she wrapped her lips
around my fingers and ran her tongue along them sensually, her eyes locked with mine.
Fuck she was so fucking tempting.
“And when you do... I’ll make sure I make you feel so fucking good that all you will want, will b e to be tied to my bed whilst I fuck
you senseless day in and day fucking out.”
