We took our strides to the throne room where my coronation will be held. It didn’t take long for the ceremony to finish when I had the sapphire crown in my head.
Claude and I looked at each other, smiling. He raised my hand with a pride expression written on his face.
“Behold, Her Majesty, Luna Queen Rachelle Simon!” he announced to the audience. “Let us serve our people and be their voices.”
“Long live Luna Queen Rachelle!”
“May the Moon Goddess blessed the Waevalon Kingdom, Alpha King Claudian, Luna Queen Rachelle!”
“Long live, His Majesty, Alpha King Claudian, Her Majesty, Luna Queen Rachelle!”
They all clapped after the loud cheer from the audience. Claude and I looked at each other as this was the cue to announce his decree.
He raised his hand to halt them. “I will also announce my first decree.”
I inhaled and exhaled. I glanced at Grand Alpha King. He had a slight confusion written on his face. He knew that his son had never announced a decree before. He knew how careful when announcing a decree as this is irrevocable.
“Now that Rachelle Simon is married to me and has been crowned as the Luna Queen of the Waevalon Kingdom, I am announcing my decree that she can lead the brigade and return to the military service as General, the Luna Queen Rachelle.”
Grand Alpha King or I shall say, Father, stood up in no time upon hearing it. “What the hell are you thinking and you are contradicting my degree, Claude?” His voice roared.
“Father, you must not think to stop Rachelle anymore to lead the brigade. We already talked that she will go to the war as I know more than you that she is more capable to lead it. She already sent me her strategies before on how she can win this war. Stop interfering with her affairs as I will take responsibility if something happens to her,” Claude said in a dignified manner. “My decree must be effective immediately. No need to question my decision.”
All of the audience was silent as Father didn’t dare to speak anymore. He had a stubborn son. He only inherited from him so he must not be surprised if things weren’t going right of his own accord. He must let Claude decide things as he is the crowned Alpha King already.
I turned my head when I saw General Cairo and General Benedict standing up as they clapped their hands. Then next was Storm, Luna Casey, and Iris. They all clapped their hands together. Even Fleet Admiral Jose and Abraham joined as their support touched me.
People copied them and started cheering for us. They clapped their hands to join the wave. And I already know that the moment I heard them clapping for me, I knew that this was it.
I am leading the brigade now.
We stayed at the wedding reception that happened at the assembly hall. People from the court officials and military officials were congratulating Claude and me for our wedding. The military officials couldn’t be happier as they knew that I was back to be the General.
Some nobles attempted to approach us to bestow their presents and we gladly conversed with them even though I wasn’t used to speaking with them. But I had to apply what I had learned from the etiquette classes. Even though I didn’t like conversing, I had to because I am now the Luna Queen of the Waevalon Kingdom.
“I wish to retire,” I murmured to Claude. “My feet are already aching.” I sighed.
Claude chuckled softly. “Of course, Your Majesty. As you wish.” He ushered me now to go upstairs.
“A-Aren’t we saying goodbye to them?” I asked as I glanced at my back.
“No need. They already know what we are going to do after.” He wiggled his eyebrows which made me roll my eyes. He brought my hand to his lips which flattered my heart. My wolf was feeling giddy with his movement right now.
When we went straight to the Luna Queen’s chamber. Claude helped me remove my dress until I was wearing chemise only. We laughed at each other when he had a hard time removing the hair ornaments in my hair. Then I let my flowy hair flow down.
“I will summon the maidservants to help you take a bath.”
I nodded, smiling. “Yes, thank you for the help, Claude.” Then I hugged him. “Thank you for announcing that decree. I am relieved now that I can finally lead the brigade.”
“Anything for my mate.” Claude hugged me back. “I am not going to tie you up in this kind of responsibility of being the Luna Queen. As long as you come back safe and sound back to our kingdom, I would be willing to take this risk, Rachelle.” I felt him kissing my head. “I shall come back later,” he whispered to my ear which sent shivers down my spine.
I mindlessly nodded before I looked up when he broke the hug. Claude slowly stepped back before he turned his back on me. As soon as he was out of my sight, I summoned the maidservants to help me to take a bath. For our first night, Claude has to sleep here in my chamber.
We already talked about not doing the mating ritual so I can avoid pregnancy for our pup. I couldn’t just bear his pup yet but there was no guarantee that if we do ‘it’, I would get pregnant so easily.
As the maidservants bathed me with fragrant flowers in my tub and helped me wear my robe, they left as soon as Claude was already here who also wore a bathrobe.
My heart suddenly hammered in my chest as he was sauntering his way to me. My wolf was getting excited especially when he was in front of me, looking at me lovingly but there was still something written in his eyes. I stepped back when I got familiar with it but he yanked my hand.
“Claude…” I got nervous when he gently pulled my hand to the balcony. But I calmed down when he sat on the daybed and tapped his lap. “What?” I furrowed my eyebrows. “You want me to sit there?” He nodded. “No way!” I exclaimed.
I was about to leave but Claude caught my hand and pulled me so I could sit on his lap. He immediately enveloped himself inside my body by hugging me and placing his head on top of my chest. I blinked, didn’t know what to do with him.
I want to remove his head and his hands from me but I hate to interrupt this cute moment with him.
‘Mark him.’ I ignored what my wolf had been telling me. But I am feeling something bizarre now that our bodies are so close to each other.
“Are you going to go for the training tomorrow?” Claude asked as he leaned more his head to my chest as he sighed.
I placed my arm over his shoulders before I put my chin to his head. “Yes. I need to meet with my Eagle Mist. I am very sure they will be thrilled that I would be back on the battlefield. They are finally under my command.” I started playing with his hair while my eyes were gluing to the starry sky.
“They sure are. Given that you are their master, I am very sure they will be thrilled to see you.”
My breath hitched when I felt his hand gently pinched the side of my waist. I ignored the shivers I was feeling and focused my attention on the sky and to my hand that was busy twirling his hair. “I can’t wait to depart.” I smiled but I couldn’t ignore Claude when his hug tightened. I bit my lower lip as I knew what he was trying to pertain to. “I am not going to die. I will come back here safe and sound. I promise.”
Sighing, he looked up to meet my eyes. “I know.” He forced a smile. “But I can’t help getting worried. You are my mate after all.”
I felt a touch from his words. I know that he deserves to be awarded. I felt grateful that Claude was with me the whole time. He never forsakes me. I caressed his cheek before I lowered down my head to kiss his lips. But I gasped when Claude suddenly responded back by deepening our kiss and made me lay down in the daybed.
It was like he was just waiting for me to make my move to initiate the kiss after all.
“Claude-” He cut me off by protruding his tongue inside me which made me close my eyes in submission. I dwelled my tongue with him as we fought with dominance.
I started to feel fire start to ignite inside me. The arousing feeling was emerging when his lips trailed down to my neck. My chest rose up and down as I arched my back from the delicious sensation that crawled in my skin.
“Claude…” I moaned his name as I flinched when his hand touched my breast. His hand that kneaded my breast brought me to heights. I gasped loudly when his hand reached for the apex of my thighs. “Claude… Y-You must not…” I couldn’t continue saying my words as I started to moan as his fingers were grazing in my undergarment down there.
“I can’t keep my hands off you… I must stop…” But he didn’t. He caught my lips again. I responded back as I clung to his neck. My moans were suppressed when I felt his calloused hands playing with my nipples which made me arch my back more.
He left my lips to lower them down to trail wet kisses to my already exposed breasts which I didn’t know that Claude had already removed the rope of my robe. I didn’t realize as well that he was already half-naked and his bare chest was exposed right in front of me.
I moaned when his mouth captured one of my nipples while his hand was busy fondling his fingers on it. His other hand was busy playing with my sensitive bud down there which made me moan more. I didn’t know if I was being loud or not right now but one thing I knew for sure, Claude was so good with his fingers and mouth.
I didn’t know having an intimate moment with him would bring me to this kind of pleasure I had never experienced to any other man but him only.
“More, Claude. More!” I pushed his head more to my nipple as I felt him sucking it. “More… Oh goodness! That is so fucking good!” I exclaimed and arched my back when his lips slowly trailed down to my stomach and left some wet kisses again. “Oh my!” I suddenly got up, gasping when his lips reached down, sucking my sensitive bud. “Claude!” I bit my lower lip and clutched his hair as pleasure sought me while his tongue was busy licking and sucking my sensitive flesh, eating me like his life depended on it.
I started grinding myself to his mouth as I was trying to reach something inside me. Claude placed my legs over his shoulders to spread my legs and so he could eat me more.
My head had been turning from left to right, vice versa because of the pleasure Claude was giving me. His skillful tongue was so good that I wanted to be rod on it.
“I-I’m coming…” I closed my eyes to feel more of his tongue. I didn’t know why I became so bold tonight. We weren’t supposed to do this but here I was screaming Claude’s name as I reached my peak.
I let my body fall back to the daybed as I was panting. I felt Claude’s chest on top of mine as I opened it to see that he was watching with a smile on his lips.
He lowered down his head to whisper in my ear. “That’s what you called foreplay. Did you like it?” He raised his head to look at me.
I nodded my head. “I-It was mind blowing…” I felt my cheeks heated from embarrassment as I was catching up to my breath.
He chuckled before claiming my lips again. I was about to respond back but Claude already broke our kiss. I gasped when he suddenly turned me over so I was on top of him and he was underneath me.
My eyes widened when I came to feel the bulging thing and it was as hard as a stone in between Claude’s legs. I gulped as I felt it, looking straight into his eyes.
“Y-You’re hard…” I said in a lower tone.
Claude smiled sheepishly as he combed my hair. “Yeah… But I would love it if you can relieve me, Rachelle…”
My eyes widened. Relieve? “H-How?” How am I supposed to relieve him?
He smiled meaningfully. “I’ll teach you.”
