Marion
It's been weeks and I have decided to focus on Dragu since he has been staying here in the Palace, the Elders and Nola have been showing him the ropes. He is a natural leader, you can see it in the way he handles things and he is not rude even if he gets frustrated, he is kind and it is different with him than what I had with Willix. A memorial was placed in the garden for my former husband and our son next to the headstone of our firstborn. I lost two kids and my husband in a matter of a few years and I was still hanging on, I would have ended it if not for the support I got from my close friends and Dragu. We don't see eye to eye because of what Willix did to his people at the hands of that son-of-a-b***h, Joimar. I sat on a bench in front of their memorial and I cried because I never got a chance to experience motherhood like I should, I knew something bad was going to happen and I didn't fight hard enough to stop it.
Dragu rested his hand on my shoulder and I leaned into his hand and he said, "We need to talk about us but I won't push you at a time like this," I encouraged him to sit next to me. I wanted to be close to him, he made me feel safe in a vulnerable state but he was so skeptical about what I felt for him and I don't blame him. I was mated to someone else, his enemy, I had no idea I would have met my fated mate and I wish I had done things differently but it wasn't so easy a few years ago. He asked me about my firstborn and how that went, I told him he was stillborn because Willix was with his lover but I ended up forgiving him and giving us a chance. He listened attentively without judgment and then I asked him out on a date, a night for just two of us and he looked at me shocked but smiled. He had a beautiful smile and a strong aura about him, my magic had chosen him to share in the power, it felt right but he wanted to take it slow, it was the beginning of our courtship.
We had lunch together and he was so funny, he had a sense of humor, we talked until it was time for me to return to the magic school and he joined me. The students were fascinated as he showed them a thing or two when Lenora linked me, "I know you loved my son, I won't dispute it but he is the one, fight for him, Marion, Willix would want you to be happy," and I held back my tears. She was right, Willix would want me to be happy and show Ravena that even during the lowest point of my life, I can get the job done and rule Volterra. As time went on, the school expanded to males and those from other territories if they needed to enhance their magic, it built friendships and strengthened treaties. Samuel occasionally dropped in to help practice my dark magic but Dragu didn't like it, however, he respected my decision.
Samuel invited me to the underworld again and I refused because things would get complicated and he smiled promising nothing would happen. He explained there was a spell I needed to learn and it was safer doing it in the underworld, plus, he had information I needed to find out about. Dragu appeared and looked at Samuel when he backed off raising his hand and saying, "Nothing happened, Seer, I know she is your mate but she needs to do this," Dragu looked at me and pulled me into a kiss saying, "I will be here when you get back, I am trusting you, Marion, it's him I don't trust." I kissed him back saying, "I promise nothing will happen, I chose you," he backed off and I left with Samuel.

The Underworld
I loved it here it can be peaceful, well, on this side of the underworld, I was training my powers and it can be training when Samuel said, "You will have to merge with your mate soon." I looked at him and said, "I know, I'm just a bit hesitant, what if he changes with the power?" "I don't think he will because he is your fated mate and he is already powerful, I can feel it rolling off him," I smile because Samuel notices. I said, "So, Your Majesty, are you finally giving up on mating me?" He sat next to me saying, "You would be perfect for me, Marion but I am not stupid, I won't go against your mate, he is much stronger than he looks. Plus, demons hate being above but we can compromise if we have to, also, I found out about the faceless demon, no one has heard of him in centuries, he is in nothingness for a reason, and he was able to breach it because someone in your camp played with dark magic, your baby was p*****t and Willix was a bonus."
My heart sank, and I felt sick, I knew this had Joimar written all over it and I looked at him saying, "I will never see them again," he said, "No because no one knows when the nothingness will open again. It could be centuries from now but I can build a calendar from when it opens and track it for the next opening." I agreed and hoped that my son was alive until he said, "However if we do get it open, there is no guarantee Willix or your son would be the same or alive," and I nodded in understanding. I had already grieved them and looked at Samuel saying, "I'm ready to go." He pulled me in for a hug and said, "Don't forget my invitation to the ceremony," I closed my eyes and when I opened them, I was in a field where my mate was practicing his fighting skills. I watched him as it was fascinating to watch when he mind-linked me, "Do you love what you see?"

Dragu
I was in my quarters when I saw a magical note appear on the bed from Marion telling me how much she wanted me inside her and I smiled. I was tired as dinner with Marion was special, she had asked me to mate her but I was not sure even though I liked it here. I had been torn about everything trying to figure out why I was mated to Queen Marion, she was beautiful, kind, intelligent, and everything I would want but I was still scared I was letting my people down. She had a lot of men who wanted her hand in marriage but she turned them down, the lack of respect they have towards me because I am a Seer. However, her friends and what is left of her family had accepted me including the Elders. I lay on the bed and closed my eyes when all of a sudden, I got a vision of someone making love to Marion. It was so real and I got angry knowing it was Samuel, they were still sleeping together and I went over to confront Marion.
Her guard was outside her door but I didn't care, I pushed the door and saw her playing with herself and I froze up, she jumped covering herself. I turned around and apologized when she asked catching her breath, "Is there something wrong?" I closed my eyes feeling like a fool and linked the guard outside to leave us. I said again, "I am sorry, Marion, I had a vision, you were....," and I cleared my throat feeling her hand on my back, the tingles were intense. Our bond was calling out to each other and I knew I needed to leave now. I turned around and faced Marion who had a robe on covering her hardened n*****s but her p***y was bare and exposed to me with her flat stomach, I swallowed and tried to calm down as my d**k had a mind of its own, it wanted Marion and I had to admit, I was falling in love with her.
I leaned down to kiss her and it felt so amazing as she moaned in my mouth, I pulled back catching our breath, and said, "If I do this, Marion, there is no going back," and she pulled me for a kiss and we ended up on the bed. I admired her body, I placed a kiss on her shoulder, neck, and chest, sucking both breasts hearing her softly moan and grabbing the sheets lifting her back off the bed. I smiled because the vision was us and not Samuel, I buried my face between her legs, sucking and lapping up her juices, she was so responsive to me as if it was long overdue. She eventually returned the favor after her intense orgasm and I watched her head bob up and down giving me the blow job of my life, my toes curled and I knew I was close but she kept going until I c*m down her throat. I made sure the candles were lit by repeating a small spell and the strawberry essence in the room trying to drown out the smell of s*x.
I kissed my love and slowly placed my d**k at her entrance looking into her eyes for approval, she nodes and I slowly thrust into her balls deep. We both moan at the sensation and I lean over kissing her again and slowly building my riddim once she got adjusted to my c**k. The bed rocked with each thrust as her moans got loud, I felt her nails on my back as my waist moved in a circular motion between her legs. I pinched her n*****s as I kissed her passionately, our sweaty bodies collided, enjoying the heat of the moment, and then I felt it. I felt the magic surround us, calling out to me, we were mating, and we couldn't control it as my mark appeared on her neck and I felt hers on me. We didn't stop feeling our release approaching, I felt her magic go through me as mine went through her and we both moaned out in ecstasy, our mating was complete with our shared magic, I was hers and she was mine.
