Chapter 76: 76:They don’t have a Choice

Athena stared into the gatherings, her eyes looking for the man she had met earlier. Her heart pounded against her chest, her stomach twisting in a sickening way. She couldn’t help but feel that something was going to happen; something bad. Whatever it was, she didn’t know, but she knew it had something to do with her.

How did Kaden sneak into the palace? How did he even make it to Eldradragon without anyone noticing? The Kaden she knew will not come to Eldradragon alone, and that means there are others disguised as him. What is his motive? Did he come to take her?

“Are you alright?” She exhaled and turned to face her husband and nodded her head at him. Should she tell him her ex-mate is here?

“You look lost. You know you can tell me anything.” ALARIS said in his ever-concerning tone, and Athena forced a smile at him.

“I am just overwhelmed by all of this.” She lied, and yes, there was indeed some truth in the lie.

“The people don’t like me,” she whispered as their voices reached her ear. “They call me a child killer.”

Alaris chuckled and touched her face, caressing her cheeks and looking into her eyes with love.

“They don’t have a choice. In less than two minutes, you will be their queen.” Athena didn’t know if she should be relieved by his words. In less than two minutes, things could go wrong. “Trust me, I won’t tolerate any insults towards you.”

She exhaled, and Alaris planted a kiss on her forehead before going to sit on his throne. She looked at him as he sat, wondering if she had made a mistake by not telling him about Kaden.

She turned back to face the audience of elders, and her eyes landed on Akera, the man who never cast her away. The man who refused to let her die when he was in every position to have her killed. The man who never turned her away and bought her at a highly insane price and made her the king’s bath maid. Such a pity; his heart is weak and frail.

Her eyes moved from Akera and landed on Endrado, the evilest of them all. She could see the hatred in his eyes. His expression was like that of someone who had a bile in his mouth – bitter. If looks could kill, she would be dead, foaming at the mouth right now.

She watched as he stepped forward. She couldn’t believe Endrado was the one who would be crowning her. A smirk appeared on her face as he approached and stood before her. Did he know she was the girl he locked up and accused of treason for serving him coffee? What better revenge can be better than having the antagonist who wished you dead and trampled on you crown you as his superior? His queen?

She resisted the urge to grin at him and let him do what he needed to do. A red liquid was applied on her hand.

“You may kneel,” he said grumpily. He couldn’t even hide his hatred for her. Guess that was why nothing good has ever happened to him.

“On this day, in the city of Eldradragon, by the power invested in me as the arch elder of the dragons, I hereby crown you, Athena, as the dragon queen of Dracorith.” The crown, made of fangs and scales, sat perfectly on Athena’s head, and her eyes flashed amber, a sudden surge of power coursing through her veins like electric sparks.

“All hail the dragon queen! All hail the dragon queen!!” The elders chanted, going on their knees as she rose to her feet majestically.

Endrado gritted his teeth and went on his knees.

Alaris couldn’t be more proud. His joy was written boldly all over his face. Who else could make a perfect queen other than her? She may be a wolf, and that doesn’t matter. She is their queen now, and they have to accept whatever her identity is.

Athena turned around and took graceful steps towards her king. She bowed slightly at him, a smile on her face, and took her seat next to him.

Her breath shook, the back of her throat hurting as she tried to keep the tears threatening to break loose at bay.

Alaris held her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers, and at that moment, nothing in the world mattered. It was only his presence that mattered to her.

“How do you feel?” Alaris asked as they danced, his hand around her waist.

“Anew”, she answered curtly, and he swirled her around.

“Powerful,” she breathed against him, her face flushed when his fingers trailed down her back.

“Then I cannot wait to have you all to myself tonight.” He whispered into her ear. “I want you moaning my name while I make love to you.”

Her breath hitched, and she gulped.

“Don’t we get to go on a honeymoon?” She asked, changing the topic. She didn’t want him fucking her right there.

“Where do you want to go? Just say it, and the jet will take us there anytime you want.”

Ah yes, she forgot he wasn’t just a king but a billionaire.

“I don’t know yet, my king.” She answered politely, flashing her perfectly white teeth at him, and he pulled her closer against him, his arm wrapped around her waist tightly.

“I can’t resist you, Athena. You drive me insane.” He breathed, and his lips crashed against hers. He kissed her with so much hunger and affection, and she kissed him back deeply; she could barely breathe.

He swayed her left and right slowly, his body grinding against hers, and she leaned closer as if she wanted to merge her body with his. He broke the kiss, allowing her to breathe, and whispered. “Should we excuse ourselves?”

Her ears turned red, and she bit on her lips. She parted her mouth to speak, images of his cock driving into her playing in her head.

“Yes… my king. This queen wants to be fucked by you.” She answered shamelessly.

Without wasting another second, Alaris scooped her into his mouth and vanished into thin air. Her back landed on the soft mattress, her chest rising and falling as he took off his clothes, revealing his athletic chest.

His trousers slid down his waist, and her throat went dry when his cock sprang into view, pointing at her. She gulped slowly and reached for her chest, but he beat her to it. Like a blade, his claws rip her dress apart, and her eyes widen. It was a beautiful dress she had envisioned herself wearing again.

“I will get you more of it.” He told her when he saw the look in her eyes.

The dress landed on the next to his, and the next thing, kisses trailed down her chest to her stomach before his teeth grabbed her thong and skilfully pulled it down her legs before his hands ripped it apart.

“Suck my breast, Alaris…” she breathed, and he hummed in response against her skin.

He supported his weight with his elbow and claimed her nipple with his mouth, sucking and nibbling on it. Her toes curled, and her fingers dug into his hair, holding his head in place as her head rolled back and forth.

His mouth, tongue and hands worshipped her body like she was a goddess, tasting every bit of her as his tongue glided through her belly down between her legs.

She groaned and tried to sit up from the pleasure, and he pushed her back with his hand on her stomach. His tongue explored every part of her woman, sucking on her clit, then gliding between her labia and tasting every single part of her.

“I want you, Alaris… please… fkhabuikb…” Her body convulsed, but he didn’t stop. His tongue kept flicking over her cunt, making her moan, his finger digging into her waist.

He sucked and pulled his head away.

“I am going to penetrate now, he let her know, and slurp, he went into her; his length stretched her, and she accommodated him perfectly. He placed her legs on his shoulders and slowly thrust in and out of her dripping wet fold.

“You are so fucking sweet… you fit me perfectly…” he groaned, beads of sweat dropping from his forehead.

“Faster, please...” she begged in a teary voice, and he increased his pace, slamming into her and hitting the spot where it sweetened most.

“I am cumming!” She screamed, wriggling her waist, and he held her waist down.

“Cum for me, baby...” he moaned, his eyes shutting close, his teeth biting his bottom lip, and like a volcano, they erupted together, his seed filling her up. He collapsed on top of her but stylishly moved to his side, preventing his weight from pressing on her.

“Well done, Athena.” He kissed her on the forehead as her eyelids slowly closed.

“The elder Akera has been poisoned.” A mindlink came, and Athena's eyes shut and opened, a loud distressing gasp escaping her lips.

Alaris’s eyes turned dark as the voice replayed in his head.
