“Mother, he is going to be fine,” Alexia assured, looking at Avery.
Her mother sat beside the king’s bed inside Balthasar’s chambers in Taplean’s palace.
More than a week had passed since the great battle on the coast of Taplean. King Balthasar had fallen unconscious, tired after
many nights without sleep, and thoroughly drained. after the fight with King James. He had been on intravenous fluids since and
had been given several doses of the healing potion. His wounds have healed, but Alexia thought the emotional burden had kept
him asleep longer than expected.
Queen Avery had long decided to visit Taplean, ever since she learned vampires tried to take Alexia and her grandchild.
However, it took her a few days to make the necessary endorsements to Beta Agatha. She arrived just in time to comfort the
king, even in deep slumber.
Alexia earnestly thought her mother’s arrival aided the king’s healing. As of recently, King Balthasar had been groaning, and his
hands responded to Queen Avery’s hold.
“Wake up, you stubborn man. You still have to answer to me for letting the vampires try to take my daughter and grandchild!”
Avery scolded.
Sitting on the other side of the bed, Alexia smiled and stared at her mother. She suggested, “I think he can hear you, Mother.”
Avery was quick to wipe the tears on her face. She looked at the window, where the sun’s rays permeated the glass. She replied,
“Of course, he will be fine. He has been given the healing potion. It has Nothing to do with me.”
Alexia could not help but roll her eyes. She reacted, “Mother, whether you deny it or not, you feel for the king because he is your
true mate. What is the use of keeping it tough? Haven’t you lost so much time already? Now is the time to rekindle that love you

lost.”
Glancing at the sleeping king, Alexia added, “Nothing is standing in your way. Just your pride and his obligation to Taplean.”
‘Wife, I have arrived. Let’s go to our home now. I can’t wait any longer to be with our son,” Kieran mindlinked. ‘Mother will be
taken care of by the royal guards. Alpha Declan will also take charge in the palace while we are away.’
Kieran had manned the clearing operation at the coast for the past few days. He had sent Prince Reagan and Sheena, along
with several warriors, to negotiate with the remaining leaders of Eswen.
In the king’s absence, Kieran offered leadership for the nation of Eswen. It was a combined alliance with Paredon and Azenna.
So far, based on Sheena’s report to Alexia, Eswen has been open to the idea, especially since three powerful nations were going
to oversee their lands.
Prince Raegan and Sheena discovered that King James was a selfish ruler. He collected high taxes to fund his war against
Taplean. They also learned that some parts of Eswen were below the poverty line. It was an immediate calling from the three
nations. Taplean,
Chapter 117
Azenna, and Paredon sent food and medical supplies to Eswen. The help further enlightened the citizens of Eswen, who were
slowly accepting the new leadership of their nation.
On the other hand, Alexia aided Morgan in attending to the wounded. Following the last battle, the hospitals near the coasts and
at the capital were full of warriors of Taplean. Over the days, however, with the help of the healing potion, the number of confined
patients had reduced by half.
“Mother, Kieran is here,” Alexia revealed. “We need to go to Alec. Will you stay with the king?”
Queen Avery gasped at the question. Her eyes panned to the king and back to her daughter.
“He needs you, Mother. He has no one else. Even Beta Ford is still in a coma, and even if he wakes up, Ford would still pay for
his betrayal,” Alexia reminded.
“Okay,” Avery reluctantly answered. “I will stay here for a few days, but I must see my grandson soon. I also need to meet him.”
A smile became painted on Alexia’s face. She replied, “He is excited to meet you, mother. We will bring Alec here. We will stay in
the palace until everything is settled and the king returns to his original health.”
“Goodbye, Mother,” Alexia said, walking around the bed and offering Avery a hug. She held Balthasar’s hand and said, “Get well
soon, My King. Mother is here. It’s time to wake up.”
Alexia rested her chin on her fist, smiling at her husband as he bathed Alec. They had rested in the Stone Blood Pack for an
entire day since their arrival, and Kieran had been extremely possessive of his son.
“You are a great dad,” Alexia remarked while leaning over the bathing area they had set up. for Alec within the bathroom.
Alec was crying. Their poor son did not like the bath, but Kieran patiently ran water over his head and b*dy, rinsing the soap from
their pup’s small frame using his left hand. Her husband turned to her, saying, “I must make up for lost time. Quickly, get the
towel, wife.”
After bathing Alec and putting him in warm clothes, Alexia fed him with a bottle. Sadly, she wasn’t blessed with breastmilk to feed
her son, which was most likely because she left to fight the war instead of staying with Alec. Nonetheless, Alexia knew aiding her
husband in the battle was necessary.
While Alexia sat on the bed, caring for Alec, Kieran said, “We will leave for the palace again the day after. Jaxon will look after
the pack while we are away.”
Kieran settled next to Alexia, pecking her cheek and her neck. He said, “There is a special dinner later at the packhouse. You
need to get ready.”
“A special dinner? To celebrate our victory?” Alexia pursued.
“Something like that,” Kieran said before offering to take Alec in his arms and walking their baby to the crib. “Our son is asleep.
Let’s rest him in the crib while we do something
Chapter 117
worthwhile.”
“Something worthwhile?” Alexia asked, bemused. “I don’t know what could be more worthwhile than taking care of our son
After Kieran had placed Alec in the crib, he interrupted her with a hot k*ss. His breathing became labored as he answered,
“This.”
He cupped her breast, saying, “I want to be inside you so f**king much.”
Alexia chuckled as she accepted the k*ss. She wrapped her arms around her husband, answering, “I changed my mind. This is
something worthwhile to do – mmhh.”
Her husband was hungry for her. She could tell by how he eagerly sl*pped his fingers under her pajamas and played with her cl
it.
“Oh, Goddess!” Alexia let go of Kieran’s l*ps to sigh in pleasure. She bit her l*p and stabbed her fingers against his hair,
clenching it as she claimed, “You make me feel so good.”
“I could say the same thing to you, my darling wife,” Kieran said before diving on her neck, sucking her skin, and littering it with
k*sses.
It did not take long for all their clothes to be on the floor. Alexia lay on the bed. Her legs. spread apart as Kieran pleasured her
core.
With Kieran flicking his tongue over her cl it, Alexia’s b*dy squirmed in delight, her hands clenched against the sheets, her toes
curling. Oh, how she missed a proper S**.
Making love in the tents in the middle of the war was thrilling, but she had been looking forward to doing it without hold and
completely n*ked.
“Aaahh!” With Kieran’s consistent fondling of her cl it, Alexia came quickly. Her brows met as her skin formed happy
goosebumps.
Before Alexia could relish that feeling of having climaxed, she felt Kieran’s shaft enter her immediately. “Goddess!”
Not a moment too soon, she was being pounced on with passion. She bounced against the sheets, her head reaching the
headboard in no time.
‘F**k, I have a beastly husband!’ She screamed in her head. The slapping of their flesh. was so loud, she feared the entire
packhouse could hear them making love. Worst, Alec would wake up from the hard pounding he was doing.
“I am only a beast for you, my wife!” Kieran said.
Alexia could not help but flush, realizing she had mindlinked her cries.
“You feel so good,” Kieran growled, his fangs elongating as if he wanted to mark her again. “I f**king love you so much!”
“Take the lead, Alexia,” Kieran ordered. And just like that, their places were switched. Kieran rested his back on the headboard
while Alexia rode him, her hips going up and down against his groin.
As Alexia rocked on Kieran, he repeatedly cupped her breasts. He leaned close and sucked it eagerly. His tongue played with
her hard nipples.
Alexia traced his biceps, the beautiful work of art on his arms, and his broad chest. She
turned tomato red for having admired her husband’s fine physique. Then she caught Kieran smirking at her, and she rolled her
eyes.
“I’m glad you are satisfied with your husband, my wife,” Kieran remarked. He held her waist and aided her with her up-and-down
motion.
Moans and groans quickly filled the air as they resumed making love. When Alexia was certain her husband was about to arrive
at a conclusion, she raised her a*s for Kieran to take over.
Kieran thrust up and down so hard she came before he did. “Aaahh, Kieran!”
When Kieran chased his org asm, he stilled, grunting his release, and she felt warm inside. Alexia cupped her husband’s chin,
saying, “Look at me.”
She squirmed on top of Kieran, feeling more of him inside. Kieran moaned, but she k*ssed his l*ps, and his cries mu ffled into
her mouth.
“I love you,” Alexia said, pulling away.
Kieran caressed her cheek. He smiled and replied, “I f**king love you too, my wife.” He hugged her. His head rested on her
breasts. He felt the softness of her mounts, adding, “I owe King Balthasar for sending you my way.”

– Queen Avery –
Meanwhile, back in the palace of Taplean, Queen Avery had remained by the king’s side.
She studied Balthasar’s handsome face and could not help but admire him. Her heart fluttered, thinking how he looked almost
the same since they first met.
Despite already being in his fifties, he still looked young, like he was in his mid-thirties. compared to humans. It was the same
with her. That was a beautiful curse amongst werewolves. They age slowly after reaching the age of thirty-five.
Avery stretched her hand out to caress his face. The second her fingers touched his skin, sparks ran through her b*dy, yet again
reminding her of their mate bond.
She gasped at how it felt so good. That had been the case each time she held the king’s hand. Just as she retreated her hand,
Balthasar gripped it firmly. Her eyes widened, staring at the fully awake man in bed.
Tears immediately welled in Balthasar’s eyes as he said, “My – my mate.”
