Chapter 41 – King Arturos

LUCIUS.

I didn’t know it was possible to feel this happy despite the fact that my kingdom was under attack. I was so used to taking pride and being boastful of my accomplishments, but this happiness Patrea was giving me was beyond me. For the first time, I got something because it wanted me, not out of force or rebellion.

Patrea was alive, and she survived my mark because of one thing: she loved me.

And I knew at this point that I could do everything, anything, to make sure she wouldn’t regret braving the darkness that came along with loving me.

“Welcome to Kalmerus, my queen,” I told her as I stared directly into her amber eyes before they blazed red. And it just made me excited.

My hand gripped her jaw tightly as I crushed my lips against her, kissing her brutally hard, and my queen just accepted my kiss wholeheartedly before she snaked her arms around me.

But I knew I should stop kissing her, or this might lead to other things, and we had a kingdom to protect. I pulled away from her lips, but she whimpered and pulled me back, kissing me again, and I couldn’t help but smile as I gently bit her bottom lip before pulling away again.

“We need to get back, or we might not have a kingdom to rule,” I told her in a low voice as my thumb caressed her cheek. Holding Patrea gently this way just felt natural. “Oh, I’m sorry. I totally forgot that.” She said as red tints crept up her cheeks.

“No No. No need for apologies. I want nothing but to hold you in my arms, to kiss and fuck you, but now that you’re back here with me, I want to go out there and protect Kalmerus more than ever.” I cupped her face with both hands. ‘I want to rule this kingdom with you.”

“You’re overwhelming me.” She said as she took a deep breath.

“Am I? Pardon me, my queen, but I will take it slow from here. We will discuss this again, but for now, let’s save Kalmerus.” I told her as a smug smirk crossed my face. She nodded her head and beamed at me “I will be honored if you fight beside me,” I added, and I meant it.

“I don’t know how to use your powers yet.”

“That power Is yours, not mine. And whatever I have, you’ve got more because you’re also a witch. Use what you think is best suited, and I will just be beside you, behind you, watching and protecting you if you need me.”
