Chapter 17

In the solemn chamber, two bodies were intertwined, low moans ringing out.
Sophia's long black dress was pushed up to her chest, Aaron jerking his waist while burying his head in her chest, his clothes were soaked with sweat and sticking uncomfortably to his body.
Sophia's legs were so far apart that they were too sore to close when she was held down, and throbbed with pain as soon as she hit the ground.
"It hurts." Sophia lightly bit her thin lips, her small face was soaked with tears, and she didn't know whether it was cool or hard.
Aaron broke her leg straight, smoothed her hamstring, and said helplessly, "I'll have to give you a good tonic later."
He pulled her clothes down, put on his own clothes, wrapped Sophia in a long blanket, and walked out with her in his arms.
Since that misunderstanding, their relationship had been heating up, and Sophia had discovered Aaron's goodness. He was gentle and considerate, indulging her without limits and spoiling her, which made her very touched.
If there is anything she doesn't like, it's that Aaron is always ready to press her to do a scene, like this one in the council chamber.
Although she was comfortable with it, it was too humiliating in case she was found out ......
Sophia is slowly accepting Aaron, leaving the past behind and accepting what she has now.
She purposely asked Aaron to help her find a teacher and began to actively learn what a queen should do.
What the queen of the wolf tribe needs to do, besides setting up all the things in the palace and socializing with the nobles and the pack, the queen can participate in politics and help the king to deal with political affairs.
It's just that Sophia has never wanted to accept the identity of the queen, and Aaron is sympathetic to her and doesn't want her to be exposed to these tiresome things.
Now Sophia wants to be Aaron's queen.
In fact, she has received the best education since she was a child, and has no problem at all in taking care of the palace's internal affairs, but the only thing she is not so skilled at is probably the social aspect.
Sophia's classes were placed next to Aaron's, so even if the teacher was not on point, he was able to point it out in time, but the consequence of such a distraction was that his speed in dealing with government affairs was reduced.
"The queen is very smart."
After speaking about the situation within the capital city, the teacher who taught her couldn't help but praise her.
"There are many issues that I only need to mention and the queen understands them all."
'Of course my Sophia is smart!' Aaron's wolf boasted proudly in his consciousness.
"It's mine." Aaron buried his head in the paper with a gloomy face, very dissatisfied with what the wolf said.
He was so careful to even eat his own wolf's jealousy, making the wolf very incomprehensible.
'Do we have to divide a yours and mine for this kind of thing?'
"Of course."
Sophia didn't know Aaron's inner activities and was embarrassed by the teacher's compliment, smiling softly, "It's the teacher who taught me well, thank you."
"You are welcome, Queen." The teacher smiled and looked at the king who couldn't pull his head out of the government and said gratefully, "I am sure that you will be a very good queen."
Aaron's expression more or less eased when he heard her compliment to Sophia and nodded to her.
He was glad that everyone recognized her and was equally proud of her.
''Our Sophia is kind and beautiful and generous, so she will definitely be a very good queen, Aaron, don't you think so?'' When Wolf heard the teacher's words, he didn't care whether Aaron was jealous or not, and asked him happily.
Not getting the desired answer, Wolf shouted in dissatisfaction: 'Hey Aaron, say something, don't you play dead, don't you have any manners for your dear me now?'
''Wow, you are very excessive! So sincere when you need me, throw me away when you're done with me, and now you're not even willing to talk with me, isn't that a little too much!'' The wolf howled loudly again.
Aaron pressed his temples with a headache and said through clenched teeth, "When did I use you and when did I throw it away after using it? Shut up if you don't know how to talk."
'You're telling me to shut up now!' The wolf yelled out, shaking Aaron's brain.
After listening to it howl for just under two minutes, Aaron compromised and reluctantly appeased it.
"You're right, I've always thought Sophia was a very good queen, too."
The wolf was then satisfied and quieted down.
"Your Majesty, the Queen will soon be able to help you with your government affairs, so do you think you can give the Queen a little bit of simple things first." The teacher saw him look up from the paper and hurriedly asked for his opinion.
Aaron had just finished receiving the ravages of the wolf, and when he heard this, his brow wrinkled, and after a moment's consideration, he reached out and pulled out a copy from the pile of documents in front of him.
He handed the document to Sophia and said hesitantly, "On the 15th of every month, the residents of the metropolis spontaneously gather at the Moon Fountain in the central square to pray for the goddess' favor."
"Two years ago, when times were turbulent, as the last person of the royal family, I was not able to participate in it, and two days ago, someone handed up a document suggesting that the royal family should participate in the prayer for the people, and for the wolves."
Sophia skimmed through the papers quickly and listened to his brief explanation.
"Is it okay if you go for me?" Aaron asked hesitantly.
"Your Majesty, this is a very good opportunity." Her teacher said in surprise, "You join the people, and the people will recognize you more because of this matter."
Sophia didn't hesitate and nodded heavily, "I'll go!"
And so the matter was settled.
Two days before the 15th of the middle of the month, the news that the Queen would take the place of the King in the prayers spread, and the people were very happy and busy preparing themselves.
Sophia at the palace was not taking it easy either. She used all her free time to learn everything she could, not wanting to make the slightest mistake in the first thing she handled, and even Aaron's advances were rejected by her.
Aaron knew she was serious and cared enough not to force her again. The only time she was forceful was when Sophia was up late into the night, and Aaron just picked her up and threw her into bed.
"Can I really?"
Sophia, all tired after the lovemaking, lay in Aaron's arms and couldn't help but question herself in her mind.
Although she acted organized and confident when she made the arrangements, how could she not be nervous in her heart when she participated in such a grand event for the first time?
''Sophia, believe in yourself.'' Wolf cheered her up, 'From before, you've been doing things steadily and completed every task perfectly, you don't need to have doubts about yourself.'
"But ......" Sophia's brow furrowed.
''Sophia, are you really nervous about this thing you're about to do?'' Wolf asked.
"That's for sure, otherwise what else could I do because of ......" Halfway through, Sophia suddenly couldn't say anymore.
Wolf continued: 'Are you nervous and upset because of this thing you are about to do, or are you nervous and upset because this thing was given to you by Aaron?'
Wolf ultimately did not get an answer to this question.
On the 15th, Sophia got up early in the morning and had people prepare the things to be used for the ritual.
That's right, in addition to prayers, the royal family also planned to have a small sacrifice today, hoping to get the response from the moon goddess on this day when the moon is fullest in a year.
Even the royal family has not been able to get a response from the goddess for a long time, so when Aaron gave the matter to Sophia, it caused a lot of criticism among the nobility.
Sophia was also nervous for a long time because of this, and always couldn't resist asking Aaron, but Aaron's words made her firm.
He said, "I believe in you.
It was also because of this sentence that Wolf had an answer to his previous question.
'Are you nervous and upset because of this thing you are about to do, or are you nervous and upset because this thing was handed to you by Aaron?'
A long table was placed in front of the moon fountain, and carefully selected offerings were placed on it. Without the guards purposely going to protect it, the people spontaneously guarded the fountain and waited for the night to fall.
The moon gradually rose to its highest point, 12:00 midnight, the brightest time of the moon.
Howls of wolves of varying lengths came from all sides of the city, echoing each other, and the people gathered at the fountain quieted down their homes, their pairs of dark green eyes lighting up in the night.
The crowd parted, and Sophia, clad in a silver-gray cloak, arrived at the moon fountain surrounded by people. She reached up and removed her hat, her long golden-brown hair tumbled down, and her eyes turned into dangerous vertical pupils.
She quietly walked towards the long table and knelt down in front of it, her hands folded on her chest, and an ancient chant exhaled from her mouth, presumably about singing the praises of the goddess and praying for her blessings to come down.
At the moment she knelt down, the people around her also knelt down in unison, the low chanting echoed in, and the whole city was immersed in the ancient melody.
During the long chant, just when everyone thought that the moon goddess would not respond, a beam of moonlight struck down, just in time to hit Sophia who was kneeling on the ground.
Sophia's long hair fluttered in the breeze, and the moonlight dyed her long hair silver, holy and beautiful, making people afraid to approach and feel admiration.
Sophia's raised her head reverently, as if she listened to the vague ancient words, a very gentle female voice, and she was so attracted that her divine thoughts seemed to float up to the sky, wrapped in the warm embrace of the moon.
She turned into a wolf uncontrollably, and the silver-white fur of the giant wolf emitted light under the moonlight, and she raised her head to the sky and howled long, and then lowered her noble head to the moon.
As if they had seen a miracle, the wolves watched the scene with fascination.
From this moment on, everyone would know that their queen, the one who was favored by the moon goddess, would truly become the most honored person in the wolf race.
The moonlight slowly dissipated, and Sophia turned back to her human body and bowed again reverently, the excitement in her heart could not be calmed down for a long time.
She stood up and faced all the people, the corners of her mouth swirled into a gentle smile: "The goddess will bless us."
The moment her words fell, the people boiled up, embracing each other and crying uncontrollably.
It had been too long since they had seen a miracle.
Sophia did not stop them, put on her hood and was escorted by her guards to leave quietly from one side.
Sophia didn't expect anyone to stop her halfway.
The person who stopped her was Carl, who came out of the miracle and stopped her before she got into the car.
It wasn't that he hadn't tried to go to the palace to look for her, but he had just been stopped each time and the news hadn't even reached Sophia's ears.
"Sophia, I need to talk to you." Carl stopped in front of the carriage, the tip of his nose red.
The guard stood in front of Sophia, glaring angrily at the man who had appeared from nowhere.
"Is the Queen's name something you can call?!"
They were completely loyal to Sophia because of this miracle, how could they see others disrespecting her.
"If you have anything to say, say it here." Sophia's voice was cold.
Carl looked at the people protecting her side, gritted his teeth and shouted out regardless: "Sophia, I hope you can apologize to Susan, she is your own sister, you can't hurt your own sister like this just because you became the queen!"
Sophia's emotions, which were excited by the miracle, cooled down because of his words.
Let her apologize to Susan?
She was a little bitter inside, not expecting him to say such words without even asking her what had happened.
Before she could answer, the guards got angry first.
"How dare you ask the queen to apologize! Miss Susan's injury had nothing to do with the queen in the first place, it was ......"
Sophia patted his shoulder and interrupted him.
"There's no need to explain to him."
She had already thought it through, it was Aaron's mate now, and Carl was no longer her fiancé, so what did it matter to her what he did?
Sophia snorted inwardly, her heart not fluctuating any more at his words.
She came out from behind the guards and said coldly, "I will not apologize to her, and she is not qualified to make me apologize. carl, you take her back to Meta Moon, I have put you down, and I hope you will not disturb my life in the future."
Carl's face panicked, he didn't expect Sophia to say such words.
He always knew that Sophia had him in her heart, that's why he dared to challenge her bottom line again and again, he thought he knew her and thought she would always have him in her heart.
But he didn't expect that Sophia could let go of him. She could let go of him so freely and let him leave her alone in the future, but he couldn't.
Carl clenched his fist, resisted the urge to hug her, and said stiffly, "Even if you don't have me in your heart anymore, I'm still your sister's husband, and it's absolutely impossible to break off the relationship between us."
Sophia gave him a gentle smile, Carl thought she was softening up and was about to say something nice to get her to let go when he heard her say lazily, "I don't even care about my sister anymore, do you think I'd care about my sister's husband?"
Aaron, who was hiding and eavesdropping, was in a very happy mood when he heard what she said.
He was originally uneasy about her and came out secretly to pick her up. After he watched the way she drew the miracle and saw the way the people cheered for her, his heart was so full up that he could not wait to rush out and rub her into his arms.
I didn't expect someone to be one step ahead of him.
