Chapter 85

Claudia's POV
"Claudia." He shook my shoulders making me groan
"Claudia," he whispered in my ear. I remained still pretending to be asleep
"Go away!" I pulled the bed spread over my head and snuggled into the pillow
"Baby doll, you have to wake up," he cooed. My lips twitched upwards but I didn't reply since I was tired, especially after last night. Why? It was mainly Maxwell's fault, he locked me up in our chamber and –
I gasped opening my eyes as cold air hit me. Sitting up, I glared at a smirking Maxwell. How many times did I tell him not to wake me up so early, but he always does! I clenched my fists and counted to ten. One, two, oh forget it
"Can't you take me not replying as a sign that I want to sleep?!" I demanded angrily, crossing my arms. Instead of replying, I saw Maxwell's eyes glued to something. I decided to look at what he was so interested in and looked down at myself only to blush crimson. It's official, my husband is a pervert.
"My eyes are up here!" I pointed to my face and stood up grabbing a robe and pulling it on. Maxwell laughed walking to where I stood and pecked me on the lips while wrapping his arms around my waist. I stared up at him, pretending to be mad but couldn't help but smile when I saw him grinning down at me. Ugh, what this man does to me, I mentally rolled my eyes
"What? I can't help that my wife is one hell of a sexy lady, can I?" Okay, he's forgiven, I grinned pulling his lips onto mine. I closed my eyes feeling tingles running up and down my body. We've been married for eight years and I still felt the exact same sensations I used to when I was eighteen. Maxwell gripped my hair deepening the kiss while his other hand trailed down my body. I instantly knew what he wanted, and he sure as hell wouldn't be getting it.
"Oh no, not today babe." I walked past him into the bathroom. Maxwell groaned making me chuckle. Serves him right for what he did to me last night. I wonder if the guard had heard us, ugh, this is so embarrassing!
I knew why Maxwell had woken me up while being in the middle of my slumber; he doesn't usually do that unless an important event was taking place in the morning or someone was coming over, the latter being the case now. Benson, Westley and Kenneth were coming today, accompanied by their wives; or should I say, the Kings and Queens of the Werewolf, Angel and Vampire kingdoms.
Benson found his soul mate a little while after the war ended and trust me when I say this, he went haywire. His mate was cute; having those black doe eyes and wavy black hair that went past her lower back. Lilian was also a sweet girl, usually liking to stand in the background but when it came to serious situations, she turned one-eighty degrees. She and I had become instant friends which made Benson even happier since his mate was breaking past her shy shell.
As for Westley, he is married to Perpetual. Perpetual and I met when I was visiting the Angel Kingdom and from the moment I set eyes on her, I knew she would make a perfect match for Westley and turns out that I was right. Her and Westley had taken an instant liking for one another. Westley and Perpetual had two kids, twins to be exact, Kate and Ashley who both looked identical to their father.
Moving on to Kenneth, he married Chloe , the one that started yelling at him in a café. Chloe, or as I call her 'Red' kidnapped Kenneth's heart and had turned him into a love struck puppy when they had began dating. I chuckled as I remembered how nervous he had been when he was going to propose to her. He had kept on having doubts saying 'what if she doesn't agree' and all of that but it ended up well.
And Clara, you wouln't believe with whom she had paired up with. When she had first told me, I thought she had been joking but the serious look on her face told me otherwise. I had never expected Yul to be Clara's knight in the shinning armor but he was. I smiled when my thoughts went back to her wedding day. She had been getting on everyone's nerves by wanting everything to be perfect. I couldn't blame the woman for wanting everything right since it was her wedding day, but c'mon, her mother was about to tape her mouth … seriously.
My thoughts went to Maxwell and I remembered how his people had been happy that his father was gone. They had accepted Maxwell with a smile on their faces, and he couldn't have been more happy. When Maxwell and the rest of his men had returned to their kingdom, a big celebration had taken place, welcoming the new king and soldiers who had fought against the darkness.
Many people had objected about my relationship with Maxwell, especially in the previous witch kingdom since they had said that the heir to the throne must marry one of her own but thankfully, my uncle had made them shut up. When Maxwell and I married, the witch and demon kingdoms united, becoming one; which explains why I called it the 'previous witch kingdom'.
A knock on the door broke me out of my thoughts
"Claudia, are you okay?" By the tone of Maxwell's voice, I knew he was worried
"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied wrapping a towel around my body
"Do you need some help?" I rolled my eyes. I knew what help he was implying.
"No, I'm good." I went out of the bathroom and walked into my closet ignoring Maxwell's gaze on me. I looked at the two dresses I had chosen yesterday and tried picking between them
