After returning from the underworld with my newfound information, I headed over to Alma's residence, she would give me the information I sought or face punishment. I was relieved that nothing happened but I still have a gut feeling it did and it's probably the spell placed on me, I wondered who had it out for me. Samuel and I did not have hard feelings after what he did for me but let's face it, he was a demon and not just any low-level demon, he was the head demon, and he could have anyone he wanted if he wanted to. However, I believed him when he said that he and Marion are just friends, and he won't interfere with our relationship, I trust Marion don't get me wrong but he can be manipulative if you are not careful, one of his many powers of persuasion. I will admit that the underworld had unique architecture and he showed me around the Palace, I won't wish there for my worst enemy but hey who was me to judge someone's home?
The ladies there also didn't care I was mated, if they could have bedded me, they would and I won't be going back unless I had to, I loved my wife. Marion was my everything, I loved her more than life itself, I would give her whatever she asked for as long as it was within reach and no one or anything could change my mind. When I first realized she was my mate, I was conflicted because I promised my people I would avenge them, and my hatred for Willix, I almost threw that away for, Geneva. I loved Geneva, she was my first lover although I was old, I don't think I ever told Marion my real age but it was nothing compared to my wife and I thank the moon goddess for her blessing. I never looked at another woman the way I looked at Marion, no other interested me quite like her, Dawn wasn't wrong when she said I was loyal and faithful to my mate and I didn't care what anyone else thought.
I reached her residence and I heard a noise, it sounded like fighting so Luc and Lascelles, my other guard, broke the door down to see Alma's husband choking her. They intervened and made him kneel as Alma wiped the blood from her nose and mouth, she looked at me and said, "Your Majesty," and tried to curtsey but she was in pain. I stopped her and asked, "What is the meaning of this?" She said, "We had a misunderstanding, I provoked him, it was my fault," I asked, "Is this a regular occurrence?"Alma said, "No, Your Majesty, we had a bad argument," but I saw it differently in her eyes, he abused her. Her husband said, "I just lost my temper, Your Majesty," I nodded for the guards to take him outside, he didn't need to hear what I wanted to ask Alma. Alma looked at me and said, "He can't know we slept together, I am sorry it happened, I was wrong and I won't tell the Queen like I promise if that this why you are here."
I realized then she had a spell on her as well, she was innocent, and she believed we slept together, this person wanted to sell this story to drive a wedge between me and my wife, and I was furious again. I told Alma what I knew and asked if she had come in contact with anyone suspicious and she told me about a stranger in the pub before we arrived but then she remembered nothing after that until she met up with us and woke up in the bed next to me. She believed we slept together and was in the bathroom when I got up, that's why I thought I slept alone. She knew as King, she couldn't tell me no if I wanted her in my bed, one of the privileges of hierarchy so she played it off as a teenage fantasy come true and went home. I hated that stupid law, Ravena was so patriarchic in their ways because women don't have the privileges men do.
I went outside after our talk and looked at her husband, he said, "I guess she has been picked to be the King's w***e, she's good isn't she?" That's when I knew he was fed the lie, someone was playing a dangerous game, I couldn't punish him for hitting his wife because there is no rule against it when mated but believe me, Marion would fix that quickly once I mentioned it, I guess I never really thought men still do this, I was naive because I would never hit someone I love and my people live equally with and respect each other but they have an arranged mating and clearly no love was there. I told Luc to let him go and I saw the fear in Alma's eyes by the door so I mind-linked Luc, "Give him two months in lock up and one hundred lashes for all the times he hit Alma." I hated men who hurt their loved ones like this and I was going to put a stop to it.

Marion
Something was bothering Dru, I could feel it, I hoped he would share with me what had him so on edge and I looked out the window thinking about how far I had come. I miss my son and Willix, I never got to be with them the way I wanted to be with them but now with my mate, it was different. I will always have a special place in my heart for Willix but nothing compares to the love I have for Dru, he was my world. I had sent a magical letter to my daughter and she was still safe and living her life, the vision Dru had was when the coup happened and she survived so I was relieved. I understood why Dru kept it from me for so many years, he was being protective since I lost two children before. I felt him, he was close and I smiled as he pushed the door open, he took my breath away with his smile, his presence was all I needed, he walked over to me as I admired his psychic, his unique style of dress, his hair, his eyes, his everything and I tip-toed to kiss him.
I felt butterflies in my stomach at his mere touch, the tingles of our bond felt amazing, his love poured into me and I moaned in his mouth feeling his hard-on on my stomach, and pulled back. We caught our breath as he whispered, "We need to talk before we go further," I held his hand as we sat on the bed facing each other. He said, "I can show you," as I closed my eyes feeling his fingers on my temple, I saw everything, he thought he betrayed me or he did betray and I panicked. He said, "Calm down, love, I would never," my eyes pooled with tears at the thought of him cheating on me but it didn't happen. I hug him wanting to feel him comfort me, I love him so much, he pulls me in his lap and places a soft kiss on my lips. I was pissed at Alma, I never knew she was a problem for him years ago and it's a good thing I didn't know, I would have beaten her ass or worse.
He kissed me again and I melted into his touch, he said, "I would go to the ends of the earth for you, I would scorch Ravena for you, don't you know that? I love you and would never put you in a position to defend your honor or mine." I looked into his eyes intensely as both his hands were on my face not allowing me to look away and he was so truthful with his words, that I could feel it. Dru knew he had me where he wanted me and I didn't care, I felt his lips on mine as we kissed passionately and our tongues fought each other for dominance. I felt his hard-on again in his pants as I rubbed my happy place against it, he kissed my neck as I threw my head beak holding on to him, my panties dampened wanting him. I knew I had to deal with Alma and her abusive husband but Dru laid down his punishment, I will not undermine him but laws will change going forward. Everyone should have a sweet mate as good, respectful, loyal, and faithful as mine.
I knew I had to deal with and find who was trying to drive a wedge between me and my mate, what are they trying to accomplish? Who did we piss off or is it something different? We were bonded and were on the same page with each other, my mate was one of his kind, no other compares to him, and no one can break our bond. I felt his mouth around my areola and I moaned, I didn't realize he had removed my dress magically. We were both naked as he looked me in the eyes, I was hovering over him feeling the tip of his d**k at my entrance and I slid down slowly on his c**k as he stared me in the face. He anticipated how I would feel as he moaned slightly saying, "Marion," he held on to me as I slowly rode his c**k. I threw my head back feeling him deep in me, my orgasm building as he never let go of me. I kissed him and I bounce up and down on his conk moving my waist exotically feeling my core heat up, he moaned, "Marion, f**k," as I c*m around his c**k, squeezing it with my warm walls, and then, it was his turn.
