The Alpha King’s Possession Novel – Why was Alpha Lucian looking for you ? He Yara bit her lips and lowered her head. Once again, the king loomed over her small figure. Now Yara realized that the tip of her head only reached the king’s shoulder, which was twice the size of her own. She was sure he was taller, bigger and sturdier than Lucian. What’he’? Dageus demanded. He is my mate. Yara clenched the hem of her dress and this gesture didn’t go unnoticed by Dageus. You will come with me, back to my pack. He then added. You are mine now.
The girl exhaled heavily when a harsh slap landed across her otherwise immaculate face, she stumbled and lost her footing. Her forehead crashed into the solid, hard wall beside in the process . “You are so freaking useless!” A loud voice filled with resentment boomed inside that room, echoing through the walls and ringing in he ears . A muffled cry escaped her lips when Mareta decided to serve another backhand to her right cheek before she left her alone in that store room. “You are useless !No wonder Alpha Lucian doesn’t want you as his mate! “Her words were like daggers that were being stabbed in her chest. The fact that the Alpha of the Northern lands and the daughter of a head healer, were mates, was supposed to be a joyful news.
Yet, even for her own mate, she was a disgrace. Lucian had not rejected her yet even though they found out a month ago, as the pain would be unbearable to break such a bond, but he didn’t treat her well either… The Alpha was even bold enough to openly take Lyra on a date a week ago. “What are you still dilly dallying for?!” Someone opened the door of the room where Yara was still crouching on the ground and gave her a deathly glare “Stop being lazy and help around since you can’t heal anyone .” Yara wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and stood up, she reciprocated the scowl with an expressionless face and dusted off her blue gown. She couldn’t remember the actual moment she lost their respect as the daughter of the head healer, maybe it was ten years ago, when she was seven years old …when she failed to heal her own wounds for the first time.
“The great Alpha king will arrive soon you need to clean up the room,”the woman named Azura spoke to Yara,while she walked away ,knowing the girl was following behind her . Yara watched from one of the three towers in the castle as the great king arrived with his thousands of warrior shifters. “Even though we can’t see his face but I am sure, he must be the most handsome man throughout this continent,” Lyra sighed dreamily. Yara turned around and found her sister beside her. She was not even aware when she came. “I thought you were dating Lucian.” Lyra gave her a dirty look. “If I can have the king ,why should I settle for the Alpha? Why? You don’t like me to cheat on your mate ?” Yara scoffed when she heard that. “You can do whatever you want with him.
But ,when you spread your legs for him, please tell him to be brave enough to reject me ,”she said calmly. “Are you cursing me now in your mind for having the Alpha’s attention?”A sinister smile adorned her red full lips. “If only you were not useless ,do you think Lucian would dump you?” Indeed, it was hurting to see your mate sleep with your own sister, but that was all .It was the mate bond that tied them together “Forget about that part.” Yara swatted Lyra’s hand away from her shoulder .”Just tell him to reject me and you can bear his mark.” “I don’t need you to tell me what to do!” Lyra roared once again. “Lower your voice ,or else there will be someone who sees this side of you.” Lyra always appeared as a gentle, graceful and noble woman from the healer family in front of the outsiders, but little did they know that in private she was nothing like that. Meanwhile, on the street, Yara and Lyra’s father along with the Alpha,received the king of the werewolves warmly.
They let the great king walk into the hall with his great beta beside him ,while the thousands of warrior shifters that followed him, started their duty to guard the place . The following few days would be hectic until the king left this place. Yara was tossing and turning in her sleep, she seemed to have difficulty falling into the land of the dreamers. Her head was spinning. And she simply couldn’t close her eyes long enough to make her sleepy, though her body screamed to her to get some rest after the rough and harsh day . Giving up, finally Yara sat on her bed and stared blankly around her almost empty bedroom. There was nothing inside that could be called valuable for her. Her father wouldn’t give her anything nice except a room for her to stay ,since he gave up on her for being someone that he disliked. Someone that couldn’t pass down the family’s bloodline. With a heavy sigh, Yara got out of her bed and put a warm cloak over her body.
The night was very cold… Yara decided to go to the backyard of the healer tower and take a walk Maybe she was not tired enough to fall asleep The corridor was very quiet during this time and only the guards on duty would be around ,patrolling the perimeters . Yet they wouldn’t waste their breath to question Yara, since they knew her very well. Yara walked down the hallway and passed the study room of her father,the door of which was slightly ajar ,letting the words travel out from inside the room in the form of a whisper. At first ,she didn’t want to eavesdrop on the conversation ,but when she heard her father mention the king ,her curiosity got the better of her and even before realizing it, she had already stopped walking and stood behind the door, trying to hear her father’s conversation with the other healer . “…we can’t heal the king as fast as the king demanded.”The other healer spoke to Yara’s father with a voice that was filled with frustration. “We need more time .” There was a response from Yara’s father, Julius, but she couldn’t hear it clearly since he stood a little far from the door “No, it is not a wolfbane.” The healer shook his head. “I have never seen such poisons or scars.”
Yara bit her lips, she really shouldn’t hear such a conversation. The king was poisoned. That must be top confidential news. However, didn’t the shifters have a great healing ability? Why did they need to seek help from a healer? It was strange,was the poison very noxious until their healing ability couldn’t deal with it? When Yara was in deep thought ,someone grabbed her wrist all of a sudden and glared at her “What are you doing here?” Lucian asked Yara. As annoying as it was ,Yara felt the spark between them erupt the moment the Alpha touched her, yet it was truly painful to know that she was not the woman he wanted. Lucian’s eyes then glanced at the door behind Yara, and heard the conversation as well. His face turned grim .”Follow me .” Without anyone noticing ,Lyra was watching the whole turn of events . Lucian pushed Yara into one of the bedrooms nearby and pinned her against the wall . “What are you doing?” Yara hissed when she noticed Lucian’s darkened eyes.
She thought the Alpha would scold her for actually eavesdropping on the conversation centering on the king’s health, but at this point, Yara was not sure that was what this man wanted anymore. Yara could see lust clearly flashing in his eyes as he stared at her “Why don’t you become slightly useful, so I don’t need to be ashamed to have you as my mate,” Lucian spoke with his low and harsh voice. He could no longer bear to be away from Yara or ignore her. He wanted so badly to sink his fangs on her delicate skin and adorn it with his mark . But, every time as well, he would be reminded of how shameful it was to have her for a mate. This drove him crazy with longing and hating himself for not being able to control himself. “You don’t have to.” The words came out from Yara’s lips as a vicious hiss .”You can have my beautiful and bright sister.” And Yara’s next words made the Alpha growl as a warning . “Reject me. That’s all you need to do now.” “Do you really think I will reject you ?” Lucian pressed his body against Yara’s,and he hissed when the spark erupted between them .This was something that he couldn’t get from Lyra or any other women for that matter. That was why he was yet to reject her when he could get what he wanted behind the closed doors . “Why?” Yara glared at him, her anger helped her to straighten her mind despite the crazy spark that was now running over her skin and the way how close she was to her mate.
She fought the urge to show her neck ,a sign of submissiveness, surrendering herself to him. There was no way Yara would do that. The sight of him alone disgusted her though it made a little part of her go wild. She couldn’t understand why the moon goddess would bind them together when it was destined to end like this .They were not for each other . That was for sure… “Why? Because you are too afraid of the pain ?”Yara asked mockingly ,her breathing turned ragged as she struggled to get out of his deadly clutches “No,because you are mine,”the alpha spoke sternly, he claimed her as his with his words and was about to put it into action when both of them heard the loud banging on the locked door. “Lucian! Yara! I know you are inside! What are you doing together ?!”Lyra pounded the door with her fist, trying to open the door ,but she was not able to do so .”Yara ,I will not forgive you if you seduce him !” Even in her anger ,Lyra didn’t forget to act, as Yara could hear a soft sobbing from behind the door, among the knocks. Startled, Lucian loosened his grip on Yara’s wrist and she used this chance to break free from him.
Yara ran toward the window and jumped from there, she was lucky enough that they were on the first floor of this tower, or else she would get some serious injuries . At first, Yara thought she had managed to run away from her own mate ,but as it turned out, Lucian decided to ignore Lyra and chase after her instead . Yara felt her heart beat very fast as she sprung to her feet and started to run across the garden. She wouldn’t be able to outrun the alpha, especially when he came after her in his beast form As an alpha ,of course ,his black beast was huge and robust ,it was only a matter of few seconds before he caught up to Yara Therefore, she must think of another way out of his claws. Yara knew for sure what would happen if he got his hands on her. She was not that innocent and she could see it in his eyes His greed and lust… Yara couldn’ t hide either, since the beast could sniff her out in seconds . She looked around her frantically and her gut feelings pushed her feet toward the nearest tower, which was filled with theking’s guards.
Even from here, Yara could hear the sound of the paws of the beast that pounded the ground heavily in her background. This was not a good sign Hastily, Yara jumped over the fences and took a turn to her left ,hiding behind the shadows of the trees, avoiding the guards, who were standing in front of the main door. Since the alpha’s beast presence was stronger than Yara’s, and knowing there was another werewolf in their beast form in their vicinity without warning, of course this put those guards on alert. All of a sudden, they jumped forward in their beast form and snarled at their intruder. Yara didn’t know what happened after that nor did she want to stay to find out what Lucian would do about those royal guards. She needed to save herself right now. However, the fight between the Alpha and the four royal guards attracted much attention from other guards around them and in no time the quiet hallway erupted in chaos . Yara climbed the nearest window and got into the room ,which smelled like paper and ink .A sweet and musky scent wafted into her nose.
This must be the library… Yara knew this place. She had been here a couple of times when she needed some alone time and hurriedly found a safe corner for her to hide while the commotion out there became louder. Most of the library was dark, but if Yara paid more attention, she should have known that she was not alone in this room. But, it didn’t take her a long time before she stumbled on that fact, as someone knelt down before her with his face hidden behind a white mask. “Your majesty…” Yara was startled,she felt her heart stop beating. Yara didn’t have any idea that she would meet the king here. For a moment, their eyes met and Yara felt her heart stop beating under those pale blue eyes, staring at her with such intensity. She didn’t know whether the king was angry or not, or what he would do when he knew someone had sneaked into this place. Yara couldn’t even tell what kind of expression the king had behind that white mask . And as seconds went by with no one trying to break the spell of silence, all of a sudden, Yara saw a butterfly fluttering its wings near her eyes, which broke the eye contact between them . A butterfly? This was almost winter, so there should be no butterflies around this time.
However ,it was not just one ,as Yara was yet to overcome her surprise,another butterfly flew near her and then another… In the end, there were dozens of butterflies flying around the room between the two of them and the flutter of wings from the small creatures filled the quiet atmosphere with a light buzz which echoed through the dark library “What is this?” Yara didn’ t have any idea about what was going on at this moment .She raised her finger and a small yellow butterfly perched itself on her forefinger . Yara’s eyes opened wide when she watched this in awe. She was not a delicate lady like Lyra, thus she had never thought that a beautiful creature like this would like her. On the other hand, the king squinted his eyes at the girl before him and spoke with his rough and hoarse voice.
“Who are you?” Yara, once again, was startled. Because of the sudden appearance of the butterflies, she forgot about the king completely for a moment The young girl immediately lowered her head and put down her finger ,which caused the butterfly to fly away. “My name is Yara, the daughter of Julius, the head healer of this place,” “I am sorry for trespassing, but I was running away from…” Yara bit down on her lips ,she couldn’t decide whether it was right or not to tell the king about the alpha. However,before Yara could explain any further ,the king grabbed her hand all of a sudden and pulled her up. She could only stand up nimbly and almost fell forward because of the sudden movement. Fortunately, the Alpha had some impressive reflexes, thus instead of falling face first on the floor, Yara bumped onto his sturdy chest. She was about to struggle to get free from him, when her body was covered with his cloak, as the king lazily hugged her.
“Stay still,” he said in a deep voice that was enough to make Yara stop struggling. “What is it?” This time, the king spoke to someone else, who had entered the room . “It is Alpha Lucian. He said someone from his pack had trespassed this place, so he was trying to chase after that person…” Alarick stopped mid-sentence when he caught another scent in the air and realized that someone was near the king. “Dageus…” “Tell him, there is no one here.” Dageus cut off Alarick suddenly. “But ,who …”Alarick was flabbergasted. “She is mine ,”he said simply . He wrapped Yara’s body with his cloak and told Alarick to get out of the room. “Step back.” After that ,the king pulled up his shirt sleeve and there ,on the surface of his skin, Yara could see a dark line,adorning his skin. Like a random intricate mark that looked like a tattoo. Yara didn’t know why the king showed her this ,but she was sure that she was not allowed to speak or move recklessly without his permission All of a sudden, the king grabbed her hand again and placed it on his tattooed arm ,where the dark mark was, and witnessed something unbelievable happen . Something that even made Dageus’pale blue eyes widen in surprise.
The dark mark, eventually, faded away,as if Yara’s touch had eradicated it and left nothing on his skin . “What is that ?”Yara whispered .She stared at what was happening before her eyes with disbelief. She was not sure whether it was because of her ,or there was another explanation for that . “How can you do this?” Dageus asked, squinting his eyes dangerously at Yara .This dark mark was a result of the curse that he got when he fought the Dark Magus and not even the best healer of this country knew what it was. Yet Yara healed him only with a simple touch of hers ? Actually, Dageus had realized this already when he touched Yara for the first time. The moment he clasped her chin with his fingers, he witnessed how the dark mark around the fingers that touched her ,slowly faded away ,just like the one on his arm . And now, he had irrefutable evidence that it was Yara who cured him .Only with her touch? Was that even possible? However, Dageus couldn’t deny the fact before his eyes. “How can you do this?” Dageus repeated his words impatiently, as he grabbed Yara’s hand and held her tightly. “I don’t know,” Yara said, shaking her head vigorously.”I don’t know how I can do this …”she was telling the truth.
Even she was shocked with what she had done . And when the dark mark around Dageus’s arm had totally disappeared, he moved Yara’s hand to his upper arm, where another dark mark could be seen. Yara blinked her eyes, thinking of something… Yara used to think that she was not born with the ability as a healer, but then again, how was she able to cure the king when even her father didn’t have any idea about his injuries ? And the main question was, where else were the dark marks on his body ?If they adorned his whole body, should she touch him all over to get rid of all that ? And then, as if answering Yara’s unspoken question, when the dark mark on his upper arm had gone, the king stepped back and shrugged off his outer cloak along with his shirt and tossed them recklessly . Seeing that, Yara was dumbstruck. Not because of the sight before her eyes,but the fact that she needed to touch him,to do that magic… “No… no…” Yara raised her hands and backed away.
She was startled,since this was her first time seeing a man half undressed this close When Lucian set her up to see him with her sister, Yara only saw their shadows and heard their obscene moans,therefore, she was trembling to see the king’s sudden actions, confused about what she should do Fortunately, the king stopped approaching her and turned around to pick up his clothes again ,as he spoke . “Why was Lucian looking for you ?” he asked with the same hoarse tone while wearing back his clothes before approaching Yara, who was standing in the same spot, seemingly couldn’t move an inch from there . “He…” Yara bit her lips and lowered her head. It was kind of embarrassing to say something like this, yet the king demanded an answer from her. Once again, the king loomed over her small figure. Now Yara realized that the tip of her head only reached the king’s shoulder,which was twice the size of her own. She was sure he was taller, bigger and sturdier than Lucian. “What’he’?” Dageus demanded. “He is my mate…” Yara clenched the hem of her dress and this gesture didn’t go unnoticed by Dageus . “You will come with me, back to my pack.”He then added.”You are mine now.”
