27. 2 Her Plan For Vengeance
MORGANA
When the door slammed shut, I gave it a few minutes before making my way back to the bedroom. I didn’t know how to feel, I didn’t know how to react. What happened shouldn’t have happened, but the fact that he used me and then ran after Sage…
I was done. No matter how much he tried, I would refuse to allow him near me again. I had my pride.
I took out a crushed maroon velvet fitted long sleeve top with black leather pants and heels. I was not going to act like it had affected me, although it had, greatly. I would behave normally and if baby Alpha- He was not a baby! That annoyed me too! I felt after what happened, I couldn’t keep calling him that.
It doesn’t matter he was a spoilt brat who deserved a good beating!
My mood just became darker with each passing minute.

The Delta Ajax was outside the bedroom when I was done. I didn’t miss the way his gaze flickered to my neck and I knew the marks were still there, although they would probably be
gone in an hour or so.
I glared at him coldly and he averted his gaze smoothly.
SI
I was not Kian’s fucking plaything. How dare he… With each step towards the kitchen, my chest heaving rapidly, my anger had only growing.
I told him everything I did, I did it with passion, and I do.
I will be finding Cain today one way or another.
The morning went by swiftly and due to the rush of people coming into the castle, everything was a little bit all over the place, so I took my chance. Discreetly, when the Araqiel family lunch was being taken, I managed to slip a small note under the plate.
‘LET’S TALK -M’
I would leave the rest to him to find a way to contact me…
When the Omegas returned and nothing was mentioned about the note, I prayed it ended up i n the right hands. An hour had passed, and when the dishes were brought back, I discreetly went over to help. Scraping the remains of the food into the bin, quickly shuffling through the plates, my heart skipped a beat when there underneath was a tiny square of paper. I slid it into my sleeve and finished emptying all the dishes smoothly.
“Thanks, Miss.” The Omega that I had saved the other day said.
We hadn’t really talked since then, and I wasn’t even sure of her name, but she had still gone to Kian for me. Even just the thought of him made my heart clench painfully, and I pressed my lips together.
“Morgana, are you ok?” Andrei asked, concerned.
To my surprise, he placed his hand on my forearm. I don’t think he even realised what he had just done. I felt my heartbeat quicken for a moment, remembering my uncle. His gesture reminded me of his concern. I nodded. Even if he really didn’t care, he was at least cordial.
“Yes, I am ok, just think I need a little air.” I said lightly.
“Then take a break, go out if you need to. You have been working since morning.”
I nodded and placed the plates down, walking over to the sink to wash my hands. I left the kitchen and knew that Ajax would follow. Well, let him carry on. I walked down the steps and sat down in the shadows behind a pillar, resting my head on my arms. Hopefully, he’ll think I am just resting. I stayed there for a few moments before I felt a shadow fall upon me, I looked up to see Ajax standing there with an apple and a water bottle. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“You look pale. No pun intended.” He said.
I couldn’t resist the smirk that crossed my lips.

“You’re rather pale yourself.” I said, taking the bottle.
He didn’t reply, stepping away, and I took the moment to slip the tiny piece out of my sleeve.
THREE HOURS FROM NOW, RETURN TO THE SAME LOCATION AS LAST TIME. I WILL HANDLE THE REST.’
Perfect… I slipped the square into my mouth and began chewing it discreetly. I stood up, ready to return to the kitchen, when I tossed the empty water bottle into the bin, the paper joined discreetly. Now the next few hours would pass slowly, but I was looking forward to my little rendezvous with Cain Araqiel…
Somehow, everything had gotten really busy. One of the huge gas cookers with several rings wasn’t working and the kitchen was in chaos. There were people to feed and there was a shortage of cookers. The cooks had brought out the portable worktop cookers, and I wondered if Cain had anything to do with the coincidental mishap.
The time was near and I needed to go out…,
“Be careful with those eggs, Ben!” Andrei shouted.
“Where is the salt, you oaf!” Griselda growled at someone else.
I fanned my face, pretending to feel hot. It was warm in here, but that didn’t really bother me. “Andrei, is it ok if I step outside?” I asked, putting on an exhausted expression hoping he brought it.
“Ah, of course, dear.” He said seeming rather stressed as it was.
I gave a small smile, making my way through the rush of people with Ajax right behind me. I hoped somehow Cain got him away because I had no way to do it. I walked to our meeting spot and slid down the pillar, resting my head back and closing my eyes.
Ajax said nothing, and I hoped I looked tired enough to make it look real,
“Fuck…” He muttered.
I opened my eyes and looked at him to see him frowning at me.
“I have something to take care of, don’t try anything stupid, because if you try to run-”
“You will find me right here. I’m not going to run, I’ve tried that and it didn’t work.” I replied coldly, remaining calm, I didn’t want him to get suspicious.
He nodded before he ran off quickly.
I sighed, looking up at the darkening sky when I heard a sound to my left. My head snapped t o the side, seeing the man in the shadows. My heart thundered. Fuck… I didn’t even notice him approaching
I was about to stand up, but he spoke.
“Don’t move. You may be watched from afar.” He said quietly. “So you came…”

I could sense the cruel amusement in his voice. He was happy I had agreed, and one thing was clear, if Kian was a sick bastard, this man was a bigger one. I could sense the cold, sinister undertone in his voice.
“You want to get back home and I want Kian dead.” He whispered coldly.

“If only killing him was so easy.” I murmured, placing my head in my arms, in case someone from afar saw my lips moving.
“You mean, how would you escape after killing him? That’s why I am here, I came second in the duel for the title of Alpha king. I will be king after his demise. Kill Kian for me and you will be free, princess.” 2
Kill Kian…
“Every day, in this spot, there’s a niche in the wall, here. I will leave you some vials of blood. You need blood to get stronger, and I will provide you with that. Kill Kian and avenge the death of your father.”
I froze at those words, my heart thundering. So… I swallowed hard; Kian had been responsible for his death. Any questions I had for Cain were gone with that sentence he had uttered so casually
“We will meet again, princess, and I do hope that when I take the throne, we can work on a
proper fair treaty that can benefit both kingdoms rather than how my brother’s ego is ruining so much for both kingdoms.” His quiet, snake-like voice came.
I scoffed internally, I didn’t trust him either. The beasts were all the same, but right now I hadt o choose what benefited me, and that was siding Cain.
“Daily, check for the blood. It will be here, and we will meet again in three days, same time.”
“Fine, you have yourself a deal.” I said coldly.
“You will not regret it, Princess Morgana, I assure you this will benefit us both. The Alpha summit begins tomorrow and Kian will have his hands full. We cannot rush this. You will only have one chance. So, for now, bide your time.” His quiet voice came before he silently left
Kian… I only felt anger at his name when he was not around, but I was his mate… I swallowed hard. The connection I felt to him was going to be tough to ignore, because in his presence I seemed to lose myself.
I would kill him. When the time is right, I will be the one to rip Kian Araqiel’s heart from his chest.
I stared past the trees at the coloured sky, painted in warm hues by the setting sun.
Your days are numbered, your highness.
I smirked coldly, he messed with the wrong woman, and so he will suffer the consequences.
I was the start of a fire that he had ignited, a fire that now burned high with vengeance.
