2021-12-25 12:13:57"Are you taking your fertility control every day?" Claude asked as soon as we were done making love to my bed. He even gathered me in his arms as I snuggled closer with him.
"Hmm." I nodded. "I never fail to forget and take it." I caressed his cheek while I was leaning against his chest.
"Good to know. You are about to engage in the war so I do not want you to conceive yet because it will take away the part of leading the brigade," he said softly as he kissed the top of my head.
I nodded before I looked up to meet his eyes. "You are so considerate and willing to sacrifice for my sake, Claude. How can I do the same thing, returning the same fervour?" I asked as I felt my chest tighten, feeling emotional to have this man as my mate and my husband.
His gaze softened.

Once Claude's birthday was here and conducted a banquet party for selected guests, he and I decided to entertain the guests until we managed to speak about the matters that concerned the offspring of the Moon Goddess."We are pleased that all of you wish to discuss this matter," Claude said as we all sat down at a circular table where we could see each other."This is an opportunity we would like to seize as this matter hasn't been discussed properly." It was Kennedy Strofe XIV, Alpha King of the Estasia Eglaria Kingdom. He was with his Luna Queen named Lydia Reilly III."Indeed. I have been wanting to discuss the prophecy, too. It is a good thing you thought of this, Claudian," said Azarius Kingston de Carteret, Alpha King of the Sowinski Kingdom. He hasn't found his mate yet so there was no Luna Queen yet in their

"What do you mean? She is?" My jaw dropped."I am not sure yet, love. We haven't confronted Crown Prince Henricus about this matter." He hugged me and kissed my forehead. "Before he will leave, I need to speak with him."I nodded. "Alright..."Before we could sleep, I couldn't help glancing at Claude who was looking at the ceiling. I could feel what he felt so I knew that he was still bothered about the daughters of the Moon Goddess. I caressed his cheek while he looked at me."I am alright. Worry not.""I can't help it."Claude chuckled and pulled me into a hug. "Then let's make love again. Shall we?" I pinched his flank, earning a groan in pain from him.

Claude and I pulled away after I don't know how many minutes we had been kissing as soon as I brought him to the veranda for a surprise. We had been making out and I admit it was such a good feeling to be kissed by him.Claude had the desired look expressed in his eyes while his thumb was gently caressing my cheek. "I enjoyed having rice porridge and lasagna. I didn't know my lovely mate and wife know how to cook," he said softly.I squirmed at his touch and dared to look into his eyes. "I want to do something for you, Claude. You have done so much for me... I just want to do this small gesture to make you feel appreciated." I kissed his lips again.Ah... His lips were soft yet plump. It was such a good taste I would get addicted.Claude drew closer and rubbed his nose w

Just as I promised to Claude, we didn't go to the farewell party and spent our moments together with each other's presence. But we uttered the words that our people needed to hear before we left.We spent going to the town square by dressing in disguise as commoners to make more memories and did the fun I always do whenever I had my day off.However, days had passed by, I already didn't notice that I was about to set forward for the war. If Claude did not remind me, I wouldn't have stayed in his arms.While the servants were helping me dress up for my combat armour suit, Claude was here in my chamber watching the whole process with his stoic expression."Love, calm down," I said while looking at him in the mirror.Claud

"Your Majesty."I glanced up when a guard grabbed my attention. "What is it?""Captain Colette is requesting to see you, Your Majesty.""Very well. Tell her to come in," I said coldly, nodding my head.The guard left. Then, Captain Colette entered. She bowed before me. "Greetings, General Rachelle. I have come forth to update you," she said politely.I almost smiled when she addressed me General Rachelle instead of Your Majesty but I remained composure as I nodded. "Spill," I ordered.Colette nodded. "We have tried the peaceful approach by sending a letter to the leader of the rogues." He placed the letter on my desk. "Here is the response from him."

My heart suddenly froze at her words. I looked at her in disbelief before I laughed nervously. "Pregnant with Claude's pup?" I asked, scoffing. "That is impossible. I am certain that I am taking my fertility control before—"I halted as my heart stopped for nanoseconds from realization. Wait...Wait up...When was the last time I took my fertility control?I gasped as I mindlessly placed my hand on top of my stomach, wide-eyed before I looked up at Cherish. "N-No... I am not..." I gulped, panicking inside.Cherish sighed. "Older sister, allow Doctor Gilbert to check up on you. Having migraines and morning sickness are not supposed to be normal unless you are conceiving a pup," she said and glanced at Gilbert.

"Salute!"We saluted the coffin of Morris Highgate one more time before he was brought to the carriage. I remained standing at my ground until the carriage was out of my sight."As expected..." I glanced at General Cairo who was already beside me. "You are right, Your Majesty. He really courted for his death," he added. "Literally."I felt General Benedict's presence on the other side of me. "However, he did not meet the damage percentage we were looking forward to having. 10% out of 30 is not a trifling matter.""It didn't create huge importance to us. We lost half of his troops due to his carelessness," General Cairo said.I sighed and agreed with them. "It is a lesson to learn for the other commanders not to do what Highga

"Your Majesty! Commander Cornelius has arrived!"I immediately stormed out of my tent and came to see one of my commanders who was suddenly marked as MIA or short for missing in action after they managed to enter the den of Magnius Lothim's hideout. He was MIA for more than a week already.I almost cried upon seeing one of my commanders from Eagle Mist who I thought died on the battlefield already. But he managed to mind link me that he was in the Ursupol, a nearby town not so far away from Auritaurie.I got teary-eyed when Cornelius saluted me, who was in perfect condition. "Your Majesty, just as I promise. Commander Cornelius Haynes has arrived."I turned at my other battle commanders of Eagle Mist who fe

We silently laughed as the knights and palace guards were panicking all over the palace.'Hush,' I said through mind link to Clyde, seven years old, when he was about to speak. I gently pointed to his head. 'Use mind link to communicate with me, alright, darling?'I heard his giggle from the mind link. 'Yes, Mommy.'I turned at Cloudy, eleven years old, who was our lookout.

Claude nervously stood up as he bowed his head before my mother. "I-I..." He cleared his throat and looked at Her nervously. "M-Moon Goddess Lunaria, I-I am Clau..." He cleared his throat again when his voice cracked causing me to chuckle softly. "I'm... Uh... Claudian Alexander IV. I am..." He gulped. "I am Rachelle's mate," he said as he chuckled nervously. I chuckled and covered my mouth seeing how nervous Claude was right now. After we both shared a kiss earlier, Claude realized that we did it in front of my mother. Judging by the expression of my mother, I could surmise that she was raising her eyebrow, scrutinizing Claude up and down. (I know you, human. Your mother, Beatrice, always told stories about you and your sisters, Claude.) Claude gasped. "D-Do you always talk to my mother?" Mother nodded. "H-How is she? F-Father misses her so much. We also missed her, too." His voice croaked be

<Rachelle, my love...><Please wake up...><You promised me...><Don't leave me alone here please...><I need you...><Rachelle, our son... He needs you, too. Don't leave us, please...>I gasped and opened my eyes as I coughed and held my neck. "Claude...?" I creased my forehead when I was in a familiar... lavender field. Again? My eyes widened upon the realization. I even noticed that I was wearing a white flowy dress. "Mother!" I immediately turned my head when I felt Her presence.In an instant, She was already beside me and I felt suffocated because she embraced me in Her arms.(How have I long to hold you, my dear, Ragriel,) she said in her godly female voice. It was like there was another voice, an alto one, jo

"No, no, no. Claude, don't do this to me," I said as I held his face as he coughed more and looked into my eyes.He smiled faintly before he told me, "Please remove them. Quickly..." he demanded as I nodded to remove them.It was a good thing that Doctor McKenzie spared us a few antidotes in case something like this would have happened. Claude immediately took the vial and was about to bestow me the other one when someone shot it. Gasping, Claude quickly shielded me when we heard footsteps from where we came from."Well, well... I did not know I had a guest tonight."Claude and I growled a warning when my father, Magnius Lothim, appeared with a sinister smile plastering on his lips. His hands were smeared with blood and I was horrified upon seeing that he was holding the... decapitated head of—"Doctor McKenzie..." I mumbled his name as I started to feel disgus

"H-How did you get here?" I asked as soon as I realized what was happening.Before Claude could answer me, he cupped my face and immediately crashed his lips into mine. My eyes widened at that unexpected action from him before he broke our kiss. His expression softened upon seeing my surprised one."I have missed you, Rachelle... I was so worried when you were abducted..." His voice croaked."Your Majesties, we must get to the infirmary now." It was Doctor McKenzie.I turned to him. "But I do have chains. I cannot simply walk properly—" I almost shrieked when I felt being scooped by the familiar touch only to find Claude who was so near to me right now that was raging my heart so wild."I shall bring this," Doctor McKenzie said while he was bringing the metal boulder which wasn't heavy enough for us since we were werewolves.

That time, I was left dumbfounded and thought it over.Ragriel, the Goddess of Mate Bond... That was me? I have the capability to connect and break a couple's mate bond?Then it hit me.Which reminds me, about Claude and I... I knew we uttered the words of rejection against each other. It was already known that there was no way that a broken mate bond could be able to interlace again.Unless that was the Moon Goddess's works Herself.But that was a rare case.Since I am the Goddess of Mate Bond, then did it mean that I... used my ability? Unconsciously?Was I the reason why Claude and I's mate bond reconnected?I looked up at the ceiling to see that the moon shone my way. It was an open ceiling yet there was moisture that came from the dew which was why I could see the moon and the stars in the sky. I sta

"Now, come, come, Rachellian. Dine with your father," Lothim said with a welcoming tone as he ushered me while my hands were being clasped with tight metal bondage in front of me.Hesitant, I only nodded and didn't dare to say anything. I didn't dare to fight back as I was saving my energy.I decided not to be a hard-headed one and must do what it takes not to annoy my father. He had already done some abusive actions to me as it drained me. This time, his behavior changed and he didn't dare to take drastic actions to hurt me.It was as if he suddenly changed after that night."How's... the situation outside... um... F-Father?" Damn it! It was hard to even call him that. I even had a hard time calling Claude's father like that as well as Storm's father. Now that myrealfather was here, Lothim informed me that I must start addressing him as my father.

I screamed at the top of my lungs as soon as the hot iron rod was pressed to the flesh on my back, creating a searing pain that made me want to pass out immediately."I do not know how to communicate with Her! I only have done it one time with the former Luna Queen Beatrice's painting! That was only one time!" I said through gritted teeth, hissing as I felt the flesh from my back was slowly healing.I heard Lothim's snort behind me before I screamed again when he pressed the rod again to my back. "My apologies, my dear daughter, but I am not going to accept that as an excuse!" he said angrily. "I want to speak with your mother!" he demanded."Halt! Please..."...Father. I wanted to say it but that word couldn't come out because until now, I still couldn't believe that... Magnius Lothim was my... father.When he didn't hear anything from me, I was coerced to return back to t
The Beguiled Bond Chapter Seventy-eight: Plausible Question
Claude"Your real name is Isabella Ashdown, right? How come you have a different name as a goddess of healing and hunting?" I asked after Lady Isabel was done healing my injury on my face. Smiling, I sighed in relief after seeing that I looked perfectly fine now.I was impressed as I didn't feel any pain anymore. So, this was the power of a deity... I already imagined meeting one of them but somehow, I was still in denial."Iseldis?" Lady Isabel asked to confirm her deity name and cackled. "Father explained before to me that Iseldis is my deity name and Isabella is my mundane name." She shrugged her shoulders. "I thought that he was jesting when he told me about it. But when I grew up, I think it was starting to make sense," she explained.I kept nodding my head taking interest in her father and how he became associated with the Moon Goddess and had a daughter with Her.
