The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

"It seems Jelena and her father has really gotten very comfortable." Killian spat.

I continued, "I would have tried to solve whatever issue I have myself. Unfortunately, this is something I believe is beyond my power. Jelena has been in this city and on this planet for a long while. She is not the kind of person my current self can go against. That's why I decided to inform you. If by any chance, anything comes up, you would know the first person to blame."

Killian sighed, "Thank you for informing me. I will deal with them properly after the wedding. For now, I will just give them a light punishment tomorrow. Don't worry, I won't let them harm you."

My mind finally calmed down. I knew this life was unpredictable.

Bad things might happen even after I reported Jelena and her father to Killian. Even with all these concerns, I was still at ease.

At least, I tried to do something instead of foolishly waiting for Jelena's retaliation and plans.

The ways her eyes stared at me didn't look like she would back down anytime soon.

"Uhm," I started, "Before I forget. Killian, I am new to all this superpower thing. I can't rely on you forever and I don't want to. It's not like I think you are inadequate or anything. I just want to be prepared to face any situation that you are not available to solve."

I didn't want to be a burden and I didn't want to end up as Killian's deadly weakness.

I continued, "I want to have the chance to win people's respect due to my powers. I want to have the right to speak up if I am uncomfortable or maltreated. I want to be free to get what I want with my own hands. Please, teach me how to control my mutant plant powers."

Killian's face was solemn, "I can understand what you mean. You are right. Even if I want it to be so, I can't stay by your side 24/7. Everyday, you need protection. You are the most precious thing in this world."

His words were beautiful. It made heart heat up.

He said, "Edna, you can't die. The situation you find yourself shouldn't matter, try to survive. Try to live. Do it for me, for you and for your brother. I will teach you the basics of controlling superpowers later. For now, let us get quality rest." I nodded and my eyes fluttered close.

Because my eyes weren't seeing anything, my other senses were heightened.

The sound of a body part rubbing against the bedsheets filled the silence in the bed room.

Before I could think about it carefully or investigate, Killian's strong arms drew me to him.

I didn't struggle. His body warmth was enticing somehow. I snuggled into a comfortable crook in his arms before taking a deep breath.

HIs scent was heavenly. It just had a way of making me go crazy.

Having Killian's warmth surrounding me made succumbing to the arms of sleep easy.

My consciousness weakened as my awareness of the outside world dulled.

Something soft touched my nose.

A comfortable aura was surrounding me. I didn't want to wake up. I used my hand to swipe at whatever was disturbing my rest. It didn't work.

That annoying thing touched my ear. I turned around to avoid it

Since trying to hit it away didn't work, avoiding it totally should do the trick.

Trying to evade the annoying thing wasn't successful either. The thing came again and landed at the corner of my lips.

"Go away." I grumbled sleepily.

"Wake up, sleeping beauty." A deep voice said, "I am not going anywhere. I'll keep doing what I want to you till you wake up fully."

After hearing the familiar voice, my eyes opened and I locked eyes with Killian.

The annoying thing that kept disturbing me was finally associated with an appearance.

An amused light was dancing in his golden pupils and a tiny smile was at the corner of his mouth.

My brain didn't connect with the information my eyes was seeing at first.

Then, my memories crashed back into my brain.

I wasn't on Earth. I was on Blue Star and I reunited with the man in my dreams. Tyler was dead and humanity is on the brink of wipeout. "Hello." My voice still had a sleepy tint to it.

"Hi, sleeping beauty. You had a comfortable sleep, right? Oh, who am I kidding? I don't need to ask. It's obvious that you have a great sleep." Killian laughed.

"Shut up." I glared at him, "Why did you wake me up? I thought you told us to have 'quality' rest?"

I rolled my eyes. I didn't know Killian had a childish side.

"Don't worry, you can get all the rest you want later. I don't want you to get all the sleep you can get out of your brain for today now. You still have this night to consider. I don't want you to be wide-eyed when it's time for bed later." Killian said. His worries weren't unfounded.

I have a constitution that behaved the way he said. If I sleep too much in the afternoon, I would find it hard to sleep at night.

"Besides, you said something about practicing your powers. We should do that. I don't feel comfortable leaving you without any ways to defend yourself. My mind wouldn't be at ease until we have started the basics I promised. At least, we must try to level the playing field before anything happens." Killian continued.

Finally, the last tentacles of sleep withdrew from me.

I stretched and yawned.

He was right.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Okay, let's start." I said.

"You just woke up. I think whatever you might have eaten previously should have digested. Do you want some food? The servants brought something to eat." Killian asked in concern. Right on cue, my stomach grumbled loudly. A cloud of red gathered on my cheeks.

That brief second was the pinnacle of disgrace for me.

My body embarrassed me totally.

Killian stood up and went into one of the other rooms that was connected to this bedchamber. He came back with a tray filled with food and fruits.

The food must have be transported here while I was asleep. I didn't even budge.

I sighed.

If Killian was my enemy, I would have died a million times.

The two white and exquisite bowls on the tray contained some kind of pink porridge.

I looked up at Killian in a silent question.

I knew I wasn't on earth anymore and I have to be thankful for whatever I can get into my stomach. Still, seeing a pink meal was shocking to say the least.

I was willing to try new things but my first steps didn't have to be too bold. I needed some kind of buffer time.

Killian chuckled, "This is Marino porridge. It is made from a domesticated beast called Marino. It had been stewed to perfection. You can try it. If you don't like it, I can get the maids to bring another meal."

I didn't want to stress both Killian and the innocent maids so I decided to give the pink porridge a try.

I grabbed one of the golden spoons beside the bow and scooped a portion of the porridge into my mouth.

Numerous flavors bloomed on my tongue. I couldn't explain what the particular flavor was. It was sweet and a little bit of sourness was at the end.

It made me obsessed.

I scooped more porridge into my mouth.

Killian burst into laughter, "Slow down. Your food isn't going anywhere."

After finishing my food in record time, I set my eyes on Killian's bowl.

He said everything that belonged to him was mine also. This words should apply to the porridge too, right?
