Chapter 132: Ciana to the Rescue
I stared at my gorgeous love as she knelt before me. She was dressed in her battle gear ready for a fight. I had not laid eyes on her for months and it felt longer than eternity.
My wolf urged me to go by her side and envelop her in my arms but I knew that people were watching. I could also feel Luther's stare burning a hole in the side of my skull.
Ciana looked up at me with a gleam in her eyes.
My goodness, I had missed this woman. Being away from her was torture I never wanted to go through again.
“Rise, Ciana Black of Alvar Pack," I said in a steady voice.
It took all my strength not to close the distance between us and kiss her like my life depended on it. “Your loyalty and commitment to the throne are acknowledged. Let it be known to all packs from the west to the east, you have my favor and my protection.“
Ciana stood to her full height and nodded at me. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Her simple words had my insides twisting. Why was I giddy like a little school girl?
I then turned to look beyond the valley where Luther was. He held my gaze. I could see the hatred and anger behind his eyes.
From his expression, I could tell he wasn't ready to quit. I knew that look. I had seen it many times in the mirror when I looked into my own eyes. He was not going to yield and this battle was going to happen whether I wanted it to or not.
I raised my voice so that the entire valley could hear. "Luther, why don't you rethink your decision? I’m in no rush.'
After saying that. I nodded to Ciana and Jake and walked back toward my tent. I heard footsteps following me and I didn't need to turn around to know that it was Ciana.
We had much to catch up on.
Jake and the rest of the group wisely chose not to follow us into the tent. I took off my gloves and laid them on the map that sat on the long wooden table before turning to face the woman that had been in my dreams every night.
She was looking at me.
Her smile was warm and her eyes told me she had been longing for me too. Her blonde hair was in a ponytail and her battle armor fit her like a glove. It hugged every curve that existed on her body.
I swallowed the lump in my throat as I stared at her in awe. How I was so lucky that this stunning beauty belonged to me?
“Your Majesty,' she teased, mischief twinkling in her eyes. "Do I have something on my face?*
“Come here."
A soft smile found its way to her lips and she moved toward me slowly. Once she was within arm's length, I grabbed her and pulled her into my hold. I buried my nose in the crook of her neck and breathed in her scent.
The intoxicating subtle sweetness of water lily.
“I missed you.' I kissed the sensitive spot in the hollow of her neck. “I missed you so fucking much."
She tightened her hold on me, pulling me in closer to her chest. "I missed you too, Theo!"
I pulled away to claim her lips in mine. Her delightful breath was heavenly, her soft tongue was tastier than the sweetest honey.
She melted into me, moaning in my mouth.
I moved my hands to cup her face and deepened the kiss. Her skin was soft under mine, so tender and alluring.
I would forever be grateful that I could feel her with my own hands and I would forever enjoy the way my body felt electrified every time we touched.
When our lips parted, she was breathless and flushed. I most likely mirrored her features.
“Theo... I did it," she smiled. "I helped bring them to your side.”
I sucked in her delicious scent greedily. "Yes, you did. Yet again, you're always able to find new ways to amaze me."
She grinned brightly, “I told you I wanted to help!"
I pulled her in again and squeezed her into my chest. I sighed, "You did help, greatly, but that doesn't mean I like being apart from you."
“I'm back now,” she murmured into my chest. “Do you think he will still fight?'
I nodded as I caressed her cheek. 'Luther wants revenge and he has already gone this far. Now that he knows he won't get more supporters, there's no point for him to wait much longer. I figured he will launch an attack no later than the end of tomorrow."
The temperature in her gaze dropped and her tone was firm. "Then we shall fight!'
I kissed her cheek. "Yes we shall, but It's going to be dangerous though. I'll have Sherry and Greg escort you back to the palace tonight. That way I know for sure you're guarded. Stay safe, and wait for my good news."
She pulled completely out of my arms. “No. I'm standing with you and fighting this fight."
I already knew this would be her reaction, but I had to at least try.
