Chapter 80.

'Loki!!" He runs at the speed of light to find his brother and he sees him trying to pick food for his stomach, he wasn't picking but he was stealing instead. He gives him a hard slap on the back and he chokes on the corn he was eating,
'What now?" His is angry and Mace chuckles deeply knowing fully well his brother does not like to be disturbed when eating,
'Your charm works!! Arcadia is in love with me!!" He is ecstatic, and the smile on his face is oddly happy,
'Well that's a good thing but this happiness of yours is what is confusing me." He chews his corn in low-key suspicion, Mace punches his chest,
'It means our plan is working, she can't say no to me or to my touches, I was able to feel her skin and not bleed to death." And Loki chokes on his corn,
'You touched her?!" He gets some water and eyes the entrance to make sure none of the cooks saw him stealing food, 'it is that potent?" He didn't believe it.
'Isn't it your magic?" Mace smirks at his brother, 'she was begging me to go on but at the same time resisting and—"
'Sorry to interrupt you but why did she pull you out of prison?" Loki wanted to get a the facts,
'She apologized for the wrong she did, she must have been infatuated and that's why she came to beg. She even performed Reiki on me." Mace tells his feat and Loki is low-key proud of his abilities, he ate his corn while listening to his brother on everything he had to say.
He noticed Mace was more gleeful than was required and he had a feeling that he was happy that Arcadia reciprocated feelings towards him, maybe he has had feelings for her? He believed so but the way Mace relayed them was quite twisted. He admitted his brother didn't know how to express himself properly but this was becoming too much as he kept talking about how soft and delicate she was. He almost gave himself a boner.
'What is going on here?" Czar walks into the kitchen looking for something to steal to eat too, 'you're talking about women when we should be trying to figure a way how to escape from this hell hole." He bashes.
'Says the person that has been distant for days, we have no idea where you have been or what you have been doing and you're beginning to get too big don't you think?" Loki returns the words and when he noticed that Czar couldn't find anything to eat he hands him his half eaten corn, he eyes it before swiping it away from his hand.
'I don't know what you've been up to but it better be good, start talking." Mace orders and Czar smirks,
'I have been creating an escape route for our soldiers when we plan to attack, it's an underground tunnel that is out of use, and it can be accessed from one of the walls of the throne room. I think it was carefully hidden by someone. I think that should be good enough to get your appraisal." He was proud of himself and Mace was proud of him too.
'The full moon is in a week, we would be out of here by then and Arcadia would be in the dust where she belongs." His pride gets the best of him,
'What is this thing about the full moon master? Have you been taking advice from Loki? You know he has nothing good to bring to the table." Czar shames him and Loki regrets giving him his corn.
'Do not say that, Loki has been extremely useful, you both have and I'm grateful that I have you two." His speech warms his heart but Czar is indifferent.
'And what are you three doing here?!" One of the cooks screams at them and Czar stops mid-day way, she turns to Loki, 'madam Sheila isn't around, is there something I can help you with?" She disregards the others quickly since Loki was her favorite,
'We're very hungry, Queen Arcadia had told Mace to come here to get some food for us." It was a practiced lie, she thinks about it for a while and she did notice that Mace and Arcadia had practically become friends,
'Very well, bring your plates out." She doesn't hesitate to follow the orders of her Queen, Czar is dumbfounded but Loki was swelling with self confidence. It pays to be kind.
The night had fallen quickly and Mace was with Arcadia, in her personal garden, he was feeding her berries while she lays on his lap, drunk in the feeling of love. It still surprised her how she was able to fall in love so quickly and deeply too, she could still remember last week when she hated him with everything that was in her.
'I'm full," she stops him before he plucked another, 'the night is rather beautiful, mysterious but beautiful," she turns to him, getting lost in his hazel eyes, she cups his cheeks and her heart is sent to a flurry, 'Mace, why did you pick me?" She wondered since there were other princesses he could have chosen for himself.
'It was fate." He gives a practiced smile, touching her facial features that we're delicately placed by the goddess, 'it was meant to be, even with all the fighting and pain, I love you Arcadia." He had mastered his lines properly, he didn't mean it. Did he? It was still something he fought till today, he wanted her, to claim her but he didn't know if he was in love with her.
It felt too off to love her, she was only a toy in his hands. That was what he made himself to believe, and it could be far from the truth.
'Kiss me." Her eyes flutter and he laughs, but he was reluctant, 'please," she pouts cutely and he couldn't say no to that, he bends to place his lips on hers, she moans lowly as their tongues played together, that was until he broke it and it was too soon for her.
'Happy?" His lips are stretched into a coy smile,
'Another one." She demands.
'If we keep this then if might lead to something else." He warns her but with the look in her eyes it seemed she ached for more. She pulls him in forcefully and his hands slithered round her body like a snake, touching her sensual parts.
She raises her head off his lap to have a better access to his mouth, she kissed him roughly and he returned with the same passion. She finds herself saddling him and kissing him like her life depended on it. Why was she doing this? She had no idea but it felt right to her.
Mace toys with the ropes od her dress and loosens it to get her naked, the dress is slid to her navel and he takes his time to ravage her soft flesh. She moans lowly as heat began to spread to her body, her nipples ached when he touched them and she didn't want him to stop touching her.
Taking them in his mouth, he draws small circles around it, making them even harder, his rough fingers find his way to her panties and he pushes it in. He feels her crotch, a little bit of hair but her skin was so soft. Without hesitation he slips a two fingers in and begins to finger fuck her.
'Mmhmmm, should we go to my room?" She whispers into his ears as he fingered her, her womanhood was clenching around his fingers and it would be all levels of pleasure if he were to put his rod in her.
He groans out his response and they hurry into the palace, she fixes her dress to reduce suspicion but he didn't let her lips rest as he kissed her every now and then as they walked to her room. He pulls up his frame and kisses her behind a column, she moans as his fingers enter her again as her back was against the pillar.
He muffled her moans with a kiss as he went faster, groping her breasts as she weakly let him do whatever he wished with her. He sights a guard passing and he didn't seem to notice what they were doing or if they were even there. He just continued his patrol while he fingered his Queen to no end.
He breaks the kiss and they run to her room, going up the stairs, the excitement flowing through their veins until something grabbed her by the heel.
She grunts at the scratch and looks back to see a demon wolf holding onto her, and biting ferociously into her skin, it would rip off her foot if she didn't do something immediately. She grabs her fan from her hair and slices it, making it tumble down the stairs, she grunted as pain registered in her sensory cells,
'My queen?" He looks at her bleeding leg and at the wolf that struggled to rise to its feet, she was losing blood fast, 'what?" He didn't believe his eyes, he thought he would never get to see these hideous creatures again but he thought wrong. They had come back, and for him.
'Guards!!! We're under attack!!" She alerts her soldiers but when she sees more of them coming she figured that they must have kept them busy. The wolf is back on its feet and it aims for them both, 'Mace get out of the way!!"
But Mace morphs into wolf form and jumps at it, spearing it away from her, they tumble to the end of the stairs and Mace relentlessly bites and scratches the demon wolf. It kicks it off him and goes back to its primary target, it runs to Arcadia until Mace bit its tail and throws it away from her.
She picks her fans and throws it at the wolf, it lands straight in the eye and it goes limp for while. Everyone is rushing out to see what the ruckus was all about,
'Arcadia!!" Her mother runs to assist her as she was breathing heavily after the surprise attack, she sees Mace in wolf form and the resemblance is clear.
He looked like a demon wolf.
