Chapter 83

Claudia's POV
"Yeah, the doc said that your body consumed all of its energy when you summoned up the dragon and was really tired, that's why it took you four days to heal, because your body needed some rest." I nodded understandingly, that would explain my sore muscles.
I was about to ask Maxwell about what happened after the war but
"Okay people, men out of the room!" Clara yelled clapping her hands together
"But-" Just as Benson was about to argue, Clara shot him a threatening glare.
"Men out of the room, now." In less than a second, all of the guys including Maxwell left the room, but not before he gave me a kiss
"And Maxwell even slept next to you the first day you were out." I glanced away from Clara towards the hall and bit my lip as I smiled in admiration. For the past half an hour, Clara had told me everything that had happened after me falling into slumber from everyone being so worried about me to Maxwell spending hours in my chamber every day. Just thinking about Maxwell doing that made my heart flutter in joy.
Alpha's kiss 83
Claudia's POV
At the moment, we were walking down the halls of the castle to the king's room where, as the servant told us earlier, the princes and kings were sitting. Every employee in the castle that passed us, greeted us with big smiles and said 'Glad you're okay my princess.' I was taken out of my niche and pulled into a pair of warm arms. I instantly knew who those arms belonged to and hugged the person back.
"Thank God that you're okay. I was getting scared that you might not wake up." I pulled away and grinned at my uncle. I studied his face. My uncle looked worn out, tired, and he needed some rest. I felt guilty since I knew that he was in this condition because of me. I kept my mouth shut and didn't say anything about the subject. I remembered that my uncle had injured his leg.
"How's your leg?" I asked
"It healed, but let's not talk about me. How are you feeling?" My uncle stepped aside allowing me to see the entire room. There was an empty chair around the table that Maxwell and the guys', including Kenneth, were sitting around so I lowered myself in it. My uncle took a seat at the head of the table and Clara took the seat next to Westley.
For the whole time I was sitting with my uncle and the guys, I had been bombarded with questions concerning my health and how I felt. My uncle summoned the doctor to come and check on my health. That would explain why the doctor took a sample of my blood; so he could make sure everything in my body was alright. The doctor excused himself and walked out of the room.
Maxwell stood up and spoke to my uncle.
"I would like to take Claudia for the rest of the day." He addressed my uncle. To my surprise, my uncle smiled at him and nodded.
"Sure son." My jaw practically dropped. My uncle calling Maxwell… son? I looked at Maxwell and took his extended hand with a smile. Without hesitation, Maxwell wrapped his arms around my waist as he led me out of the room.
"Aw, they look so cute together!" I heard Clara squeak "All we need to do now is find you a woman king Mark." I grinned at what just said. He was right, now that Maxwell and I were together, the only thing that we had to do is hook my uncle up. I grinned evilly as I started planning in my head. I looked at Maxwell when I heard him chuckle.
"You're planning it already?" His eyes were dancing with amusement as a smirk played on his face. I nodded and giggled when Maxwell shook his head disbelievingly.
"Maxwell, why are we here?" I asked.
"Because I wanted to talk to you about something, and I wanted you to meet someone too." He looked down at me and smiled softly. I wondered what he wanted to talk about, actually, who this someone was that Maxwell wanted me to meet at his castle. You heard right. He had a castle in the demon kingdom, more specifically, his garden.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" I couldn't help but feel curious
"Always the impatient one." He chuckled and I scowled
"Hey!" I smacked his shoulder making him laugh out loud. I huffed and crossed my arms.
"I'm only stating the truth Claudia, no need to act so childish." He teased and I rolled my eyes but smiled nonetheless
"Take that back!" I took a step closer.
"Or what? What will you do?" He drew nearer till we were chest to chest. My eyes went from his eyes to his lips
"This." I grabbed him by the collar and pressed his lips onto mine. Maxwell seemed surprised at first, but slowly his arm snaked around my waist as my hands played with his hair. His lips were so soft against mine and they were moving in perfect synch. He pinned me to the tree and I deepened the kiss giving it my all. We parted for a few seconds to catch our breath.
"Claudia…" He whispered huskily
"Don't stop."
His lips were brought back to mine and to my surprise I could feel him bite my lower lip wanting an entrance. I smiled and opened my mouth lightly allowing his tongue to enter. We played around a bit and I moaned in pleasure. I jumped slightly when his cold hand came in contact with my skin, his hand reached up to where my stomach was and he kept it there. I grinned at how intimate this was getting. I too reached under his shirt and my hand wavered over his six-pack.
I could feel the corners of his mouth tilting up and kept playing with his abs.
