Mendai
I stood back and watched Willix and Marion have lunch from the corner of the room, I hadn't been with her intimately since the day she gave herself to Willix. I have accepted that it's over between us and I was back to doing my job of keeping the Queen safe, she is pregnant now, and the wedding is in one week. There were so many people in and out of the Palace preparing everything, I was taken out of my thoughts when Willix called me over and I slowly walked towards him, he said, "Take the Queen to take her nap, she is tired," and kiss her lips in front of me before he walked off with Luc trailing him. He started to act the part and everyone was prepared, I held out my hand for her to take to help her up, she was beginning to show now. Nola came towards her and said, "The bed is ready," the baby seemed to be a little witch or warlock, it drains her sometimes and she looked at me and smiled.
I walked not too far behind when she linked me, "Can we talk, please? You have been avoiding me for weeks on end," I replied, "You can order me to listen but it's my job to be in the background, protect you with my life if I have to." She made it to the bedroom and entered, I stood outside the door until Nola said, "The Queen would like a word with you." I sighed and entered the bedroom, she was rubbing her baby bump and I walked up to her standing a good distance away from her as she looked at me and said, "I am so sorry, Mendai. I don't know what happened that day but I will not lie to you and say I didn't enjoy the moment with Willix, he is my betrothed and it would have happened eventually but I ...," I cut her off and said, "You don't need to give me an explanation to be with you future King, we knew this day would come, no worries, is that all?"
My heart hurt and I hated being rude to her, I could tell she was trying to explain the situation but honestly, there was no need, she was Queen and could take to bed whomever she wanted. I helped her to bed and she looked at me sad that we ended things this way but we weren't meant to be together, too many obstacles and although rare, we could have met our true mates at any time. It was better to end things now than later, she was carrying Willix's child and that alone told me it was over. News spread of the pregnancy and everyone was expecting the future heir to the throne, I would be a fool to think that I didn't expect it to be me as I headed back outside to guard her door. I remember the day my heart broke and for a week, she was heartbroken until Willix started to cheer her up, eventually, I would hear the moans in her quarters and I magically soundproofed the passage door just in case.
On off days, I spent it away from the palace and I trained my magic and fighting skills, Luc would try to cheer me up sometimes so did Nola but I would put it behind me. I remember when she found out that she was pregnant, I was gutted but stood firm showing no emotion, the shock on her face then the joy, she looked at me and I breathed heavily as Willix ran into the room spinning her around. I backed into the shadows giving them space, I needed to move on and fast, I started sleeping with a maiden who works on Palace grounds as Marion did get the ranking law changed for lower ranks, not herself, it was a compromise for going ahead with the mating and wedding. Lord Willix walked up to me and said, "You can take the afternoon off," he had flowers and I bowed my head as another guard stood outside the door with Luc, I knew what would happen and I didn't need to hear it

The Wedding & Coronation
I was not far behind when I watched Marion say her vows of mating to Willix, everyone was in awe at her beauty and with evidence of a growing belly, confirmed her pregnancy for the Kingdoms. I frowned when I saw the Elf King in attendance along with King Ridge, Lucian, and Silas. They were our known allies but not all of our allies attended, some areas were dealing with their problems and I took up some of the Ale and left a guard in charge as I didn't want to see what happened next, the crowd cheered at the kissing. He was coronated shortly after but the ritual for him to take her power will be at a later date, however, Willix was now King. I met up with Ilya and took her to my quarters, I turned around to see Marion going to her room and she looked at me before smiling, I pulled my girlfriend into the room. This is where I spent the night burying my c**k forgetting my life with the Queen as a new chapter starts at the rise of dawn.

Marion
I woke up to my husband next to me, I didn't move right away because I watched the sun come up remembering Mendai, we would usually watch it together. It's been two weeks since the wedding and Willix has been making a few changes, nothing major, I wasn't planning to give up my power but my father-in-law insisted that it was tradition but I didn't care. Mendai had requested to relocate back to the army but I refused to sign off on it, I wasn't ready to let him go despite I was now mated. We didn't mark each other because I wasn't ready, I was still lost at how fast this happened, the cheating, the pregnancy, and then the wedding, it's like my life took a bad turn and I didn't know how to climb out of it. I hurt Mendai and in doing so, I hurt myself, I was always so careful not to get pregnant but it happened so quickly with Willix.

Flashback
I was constantly sick all the time and Mendai hadn't spoken to me since that fateful night, I hated what I did to our relationship but I couldn't keep anything down. I eventually took a potion to reveal what was wrong with me, it showed my pregnancy, Mendai was standing behind me, and the sheer disappointment on his face broke me. Mendai masked it quickly as Nola jumped for joy, I went over to the Palace doctor who confirmed it, and Willix was notified and he was so happy. Mendai backed away into the darkest corner and I could have sworn I heard him cry over the noise of everyone congratulating us. He left pretty quickly after that, Willix moved his things into my room and although I was not sure about anything, we often made love to each other as we would be mated soon anyway. He was my baby's father and although there was no love between us, we did this for our duty to the Kingdom, I wanted to be the best Queen in the land.

I was brought out of my thoughts with a mouth around my n****e and I moaned smiling at Willix who linked me, "Good Morning, my love." I kissed him back feeling this finger rubbing my clit, I knew I was wet as he let me stay on my side, and he enter me from behind. I moaned at the feeling of being full as he slowly thrust in and out of me, he was being gentle not wanting to hurt our child and I respect that but I need him to make me c*m, I wanted it. Eventually, he was on top of me thrusting balls deep as I was lost in s****l bliss, he moaned with each thrust calling my name. He pinched my n****e and I bit my lip feeling the heat rise from my core, I was on the verge of cuming when he sped up his thrusting. My orgasm rips through me, calling his name as he empties his seed, and we both laugh coming down from our high.
After I was showered and ready to make my rounds, I saw a different guard outside our quarters and I asked for Mendai, I was informed that he was no longer my guard and was transferred back to the Royal Army. I was confused and headed to Willix's office who confirmed Mendai came to him and asked to be transferred, he was ready to start a family and since I was in good hands, he was not needed anymore. So I turned away heartbroken as I headed to my office and cried for the love I lost because I slept with Willix. I rub my belly angry for a brief moment because it wasn't Mendai's baby, knowing full well, we weren't meant to be but I loved him and always will. Nola came into the room after I linked her and she hugged me, feeling lost with me, I will never see Mendai again unless I go down there at his job and what reason would I have without raising suspicions so I had no choice but to close that chapter of my life.
