dress.

“Kai, we should stop!” Savannah pleaded as her husband kept peppering her neckline with kisses, trying to relieve her of her

“We really shouldn’t,” he murmured softly, biting her shimmering North Star mark, which always made his wife throw her head back and give him better access. He stood behind her, hands greedily travelling all over her body, grasping and kneading everything that finally belonged to him.

“We have to-” Savannah gasped, forgetting what it was that they had to do. There had been so much work in the past few weeks. that they couldn’t enjoy their life as newlyweds the way they desired. In fact, they either did not see each other during the days or, worse – they saw each other, were so close to each other, but the circumstances did not let them touch each other. Reunited only at night, they

both lacked sleep. However, the choice was always obvious. Especially now that their subordinates made the mistake of leaving them.

alone together for a few minutes.

What were they thinking? That Kai would be locked in a room with his beautiful wife and not touch her? Not a chance!

“I don’t know about you, but I just have to have you. Now!” His voice rasped somewhere in her hair that he let down, throwing away the pins that held an intricate hairdo a few seconds prior. Something that took her omegas an hour to make look perfect. “Your scent drives me crazy, Savvy, so it’s your fault anyway.”

“And how is this fair?” She giggled, ready to succumb to his advances, when someone knocked on the door, disturbing them.

“Shh,” Kai bit her earlobe gently. “If we are quiet, they will go away!”

“No, they will not!” Lachlan grunted behind the door.

“You two are too loud anyway!” Zara supported her mate with a chuckle. “And it’s time! Everyone is already here.”

‘Just five minutes!” Savvy yelled at their friends and turned to face her husband.

“Ten!” he growled, crushing his lips to hers, and then added, when he broke the kiss to breathe, “Twenty!”

Zara and Lachlan stepped away a respectful distance from the door, knowing it would be longer than twenty minutes. Their King

and Queen never knew how to stop once they got together. Which was understandable, of course, but it made their lives so much more

complicated.

Zara closed her eyes, and Lachlan chuckled, “What are you doing?”

“Asking the maids to bring a new dress here and to search for the one who did Savvy’s hair. All the previous work just went in the

bin. Kai is too passionate to bother with these things. And while I deal with the Queen’s look, you deal with him.”

The werebird pointed at the Western King, who strode in their direction accompanied by his wife. Riannon’s belly was already round

and plainly visible and she had one of her hands laid on its top, looking like a vision in her milky white silk dress without any extra

decorations. Only a delicate gold and diamond tiara adorned her head in the shape of flowers.

Gideon looked beyond annoyed. “Where the hell are they and how long-”

A loud feminine moan emerged from Kai’s office, followed by a growl that shook the walls.

The four of them froze, which only let them clearly hear another moan.

“Never mind,” Gideon winced, furrowing his brow. “Tell them-”

A scream this time.

“We’ll meet them in the throne room!” Riannon let out a soft laugh, leading her traumatised husband away. “I told you they were busy!” she jabbed him as they made their exit, clearly enjoying his predicament. “That serves you right.”

This time a moan and a growl happened simultaneously, and the King and Queen of the West had to speed up to escape the audible evidence of the newlyweds’ happy moment together.

“Well, at least no one will question if the marriage is consummated!” Lachlan joked, trying not to think of the woman next to him.

She looked too gorgeous tonight to ignore and he was not made of stone.

Kai and Savannah emerged from the office one hour later, eyes sparkling with happiness and hair and clothing completely

“Relax!” Kai gripped his shoulder in a friendly manner. “We are the King and the Queen. They literally can’t start the event without

“Yeah, yeah,” Zara rolled her eyes, pushing Savvy back into the office. “With all due respect, you aren’t making our lives easy! Lan, keep him there until we are out. Don’t let him in! Or it will be the same thing all over again!”

“Your command is… well… my command,” Lachlan chuckled as a swarm of omegas appeared to help Savvy look like a picture-perfect Queen again and not like the happy newlywed she really was.

She reappeared in a beautiful blue gown with a train and flowers embroidered all over it. Her hair was up again, although in a more relaxed style now, a few strands loose and her beautiful mark on full display. This was just how Kai liked it. He wanted the whole world to know that this woman chose him and now belonged to him. He allowed himself to wear a black collarless shirt and blazer today so that his North Star was visible as well.

From the corner of her eye, Savvy recognized a familiar book. The hot pink cover with a Northern blue stripe in the middle and the picture of Claude and Chloe back to back was hard to miss.

“And then the Queen ripped his heart out with her bare hands!” one of the women gasped. “They blurred it in the tv special, but in the book, Claude tells-”

Kai rolled his eyes, lacing his fingers with his wife’s.
