One week.
One week…
I couldn’t fucking walk properly for one week!
And we were the gossips of the whole kingdom while I remained embarrassed that I even had to work in my chamber!
For the fucking whole week!
“I want to go out for a walk…” I said to Jack as I frowned.
He helped me to stand up. “C-Can you walk properly, General?” he asked, worried when I walked, limping.
I shot him a glare. “How do I really look like right now? I want to kill your Alpha King for making me like this…” I said through gritted teeth that Jack smiled wryly seeing my state as he didn’t say more. But I was very sure he was amused that their Alpha King really got me there.
The door swung open and revealed the bastard who made me crippled for a whole damn week. He smirked upon seeing my condition. That amusement in his eyes never faltered, especially when he saw me with the way I walked right now.
“Where are you going?” he asked in his very proud smile.
Jack bowed his head to greet him. “General Rachelle said she wants to go out for a walk.”
“Oh?” There was a sly smile on his lips. “Then, I shall take it from here. I want to spend my time with my Luna Queen. I believe she missed me so much she didn’t even want to see me,” he teased as he approached me.
I glared at him and squinted my eyes at him. “You jerk… I am going to kill you…” I said as he was the one who supported me as soon as we were out of my chamber.
Truth to be told, we had done the deed for five days. Straight. Nonstop.
All of our duties were pending.
If Felix and Jack didn’t beg Claude to deal with the state affairs, he had no plans to let me leave his chamber. He didn’t let me leave even if I wanted to.
All he let me do was eat, sleep, and would wake me up when Claude was horny and fucked me in different places around his chamber. Even if I begged him that I was already tired, Claude didn’t stop there.
He really made sure I couldn’t walk.
And he was true to his words! Damn it!
This was the worst ‘training’ that made me not be able to walk for a week. My military training was endurable but Claude’s insatiable ability was surpassing the military training.
That was why for a week, I forbade him not to come to my chamber which he granted. Finally.
Claude chuckled. “I am a man of words and actions, Your Majesty. It is also my duty as your mate and as your husband to make you the happiest wife in bed,” he stated, grinning. “And I am proud of myself for the work of art I did for Luna Queen Rachelle.”
Hissing, I pinched his flank which he managed to dodge easily. “Screw you… I swear you’ll pay me back for doing this to me,” I said, growling at him.
“Well, punish me severely, love,” he challenged with a smirk. “But we will see who shall be punished more for misbehaving,” he said huskily.
I looked away and felt my cheeks in heat right now. I just saw hunger and desire in his eyes. My wolf was reacting to that.
Since we had done the mating ritual and marked each other, I could feel what Claude was feeling as he felt the same way. That was why we would be able to understand each other somehow.
We sat on the bench as soon as we reached the garden. Claude ordered the knights to leave us alone while he was trying to hold my hand but I didn’t let him.
“Shut up, you annoying brute. Did you see what you did to me? I cannot forgive you for that!” I frowned as I was having a hard time stretching out my legs. I felt like I could no longer feel my legs because of him.
Claude chuckled. “As I said, it is a work of art, love. Also, this is your fault for teasing and provoking me.” He leaned forward as his lips were brushing against mine when he held my chin. “I believe you learned your lesson very well. And I am proud that the men around here or everyone knew here that I am fucking and making their Luna Queen so happy. I remember how you scream my name and scratch my back when you orgasm. How you submit to my touch. How you-”
I immediately covered his mouth with my hand with his vulgar words and said things about how he lusted and made my throat parched from his carnal thoughts and actions.
“Stop. Can you stop?!” I said as I felt my cheeks getting tinted in red from embarrassment.
‘How I went down to your knees to taste how sweet and aromatic your pussy,’ he continued by mind linking me. ‘How you blew my cock-‘
“Claudian Alexander IV!” I screamed his name and covered my ears.
This was so embarrassing!
Claude laughed at my expense and hugged my side before he kissed my neck where he marked me. “You are so adorable, Luna Queen Rachelle,” he said through laughter.
I shot him a glare but he just grinned at my reaction and drew his face closer so he could capture my lips. I didn’t manage to react to his surprising move but it took me a minute to finally respond to my Alpha King’s passionate kiss.
“How are you doing lately?” he asked after we kissed and landed on his forehead.
I inhaled slowly, feeling his affection towards us. This time the sincerity was already there that caressed me and my wolf. Instead of lashing out at him because he made his promise come true, I caressed his cheek while closing my eyes.
“As you can see, Your Majesty, I am having a hard time walking. I must blame my mate for being so truthful to his words,” I said, grinning.
He chuckled softly. “Hmm… Your mate is so cruel. However, if you provoke him, then I must say it is your fault, right?”
I distanced myself to look at his hazel orbs and smiled. “Yes… It is my fault.”
Scoffing, Claude held my hand and brought it to my lips. I felt my stomach somersault at his action and I felt like melting under his gaze. “Rachelle, to be honest, I am still worried that you are going to war while I am here at the royal palace…” He sighed.
I caressed his cheek with my thumb and drew out a reassuring smile. “I know you are worried. I promise that I will come back alive and finish my task to kill Magnius Lothim.”
“You must not be dead. Do you hear me? That is an order from the Alpha King,” he said dejectedly.
I softened seeing how worried he was. Seeing how he reacted right now, I knew he was only worried about me. I took his hand and clasped it with my hands, looking straight into his eyes.
“Your wish is my command, Your Majesty, Alpha King Claudian. I, Rachelle Simon, am the Luna Queen of the Waevalon Kingdom, one of the Generals in the military, and mate and wife of the Alpha King Claudian shall promise to you in the name of the Moon Goddess that I will come back alive and we will start having family,” I said softly and truthfully.
His concerned expression changed to a happy one as he crashed his lips into mine before he broke it and kissed the back of my palm. “I shall hold on to your words, Your Majesty.”
I nodded, smiling. I felt at ease because he calmed down. I even got inside his arms to hug him while he hugged me back.
After we sorted our feelings out, Claude brought me to the underground library again while lifting me in his arms since I couldn’t move properly. Then he started telling me about the prophecy that had been passed down through generations.
A prophecy that Moon Goddess’s daughters would be born into this mundane world.
He brought me to the waterfalls I saw back then and behind the falls was a secret cave in which there was a statue of the Moon Goddess there and the cave was illuminated with different colours of gems.
“Are they illuminated on their own?” I asked as we were in front of the altar as I checked the gems that were impressively shining so bright enough to make a light in the whole cave.
“Indeed. Father said before that these gems came from the celestial palace of the Moon Goddess which they couldn’t be stolen by anyone and the Moon Goddess displayed them here as soon as she had spoken about her offsprings that would come here to witness the creation she made,” Claude explained.
“I didn’t know that the Moon Goddess would be capable of bearing offspring… to think that their purposes here are to be the witnesses of the mundane world she created,” I said as I focused my eyes on the statue of the Moon Goddess having a beautifully carved face. I wonder if that was really a feature here. From the time I was in the lavender field, I kind of saw her face but it was quite different from here.
“Same thought.” Claude held my hand. “Until now, we have no idea when they are coming or are they really coming at this era where I am the one reigning this kingdom.” He heaved out a sigh. “I am very sure that the other neighboring kingdoms are very aware of it. Though I didn’t get a chance to converse with them yet. Perhaps this coming celebration of my birthday next month. I invited them and hoped that they would appear. I didn’t want any foreign delegations. I want them in person so we could converse about this matter. If they come, can you be with me, Rachelle? I will tell you all the details I knew about the Moon Goddess’ offspring with them.”
His eyes looked hopeful. It seemed like he didn’t want to deal with this alone. Smiling, I nodded and softened my gaze.
“You know that I will always be with you, Claude. Ever since I became the Luna Queen and married you, I know it is one of my responsibilities to help you with all the state affairs. We are in this together now,” I said softly.
He smiled and nodded. “I am glad that you are here with me, Rachelle. I couldn’t imagine myself marrying someone else that isn’t you.”
With the words he said, I melted and felt butterflies in my stomach. I now realized that Claude became special to me.
I instantly regretted the time I didn’t accept him. I only realized now how amazing this man was. And I decided to cherish him as my mate and my husband.
