Shade Academy

Chapter 40

It seemed keeping the fact that the king was dead was much harder than we initially thought it would be. There were questions upon questions, but thankfully with Flora and Ashe saying he had to go on an unexpected trip things calmed down quickly. Don't get me wrong suspicions were still high considering the king never left without letting his council know, but they couldn't exactly fight the queen or prince on their words, it would be treason. 

"Ashe, you know we have to go back to the Academy soon." I reminded him. Ashe sighed heavily and hung his head. "I know." He whispered. I looked over to Alex and the guys before looking back to Ashe and sitting beside him. "I'm sorry Ashe." I said He looked at me confused. "For what?" he asked taking my hand in his. "For only thinking of myself. You should be here, looking after your people, our people. Leaving them here with no king would not be a smart decision. This is a decision we need to make with our brain and not our heart. As much as I want you with me, this realm needs you." 

Ashe smiled sadly. "You may be right. But leaving you to return to the Academy alone doesn't feel right." I squeezed his hand. "I won't be alone." I assured him. "I have Samuel, Alex and Axel. Plus, I can take care of myself you know." I said playfully. "But we can't stay apart long." I said more serious. "Nova said we can't be apart for long periods of time. I can come visit every weekend and every holiday. Though there will be times I will have to go to my families estate." 

I smiled in an attempt to reassure him. "Come on." I said taking his hand and dragging him to his feet. "Lets go to bed, we can tell everyone what happened tomorrow, and let them know you're king. If I have to I'll tell them who I am." I said. Ashe furrowed his brow. "What do you mean tell them who you are? They know you're a witch of fae royalty." He said in confusion. "Have I really never told you?" I asked in surprise, "how I am fae royalty?" Ashe shook his head. 

"I am so sorry, I thought I had. When I saw Nova she told me the goddess Mumbi placed her essence inside of me, basically making me her daughter and fae royalty." I informed him. Ashe's jaw dropped and so did he. He dropped to one knee, kneeling in front of me with his head bowed. "Ashe, what are you doing? Get up." I urged, feeling flushed with embarrassment. "Anna, you're part goddess, you deserve respect of not only myself, but the whole kingdom." Ashe countered. "And I'll get it, as your queen, not a goddess. Now get up." I said pulling him to his feet. 

Ashe followed behind me in silence as we went to my room. I already kissed the others goodnight, wanting to spend some time alone with Ashe, something we haven't had since we met. "Ashe, please." I pleaded when we got to my room and he was still sulking. "This is the first time we have actually had any time alone since we met. Do you really want to spend it sulking?" I questioned. 

Ashe perked up at my words and stared deeply into my eyes. His blue eyes were now filled with so much love and passion I couldn't help but blush. None of the others had ever looked at me with such intensity. Ashe approached me slowly and gently caressed my cheek in his hands. "Oh, how many times I have longed to get you alone, to have you to myself." He whispered. 

He kissed me deeply, in which I returned with passion. He broke the kiss and began to kiss his way down my jaw, then my neck, then made his way to my collar bone. My head lolled back as chills covered my body. His lips pressed gently on my skin sending shivers through me. Ashe didn't waste any time, I guess he had waited long enough. He ripped my shirt from me, exposing me to him. Nothing separated me from him since I decided to not wear a bra. 

Ashe's eyes glistened as he looked at me. "Beautiful." He whispered before taking one breast in his mouth and grouping the other. I moaned as I tangled my hand through his long silver hair. Ashe groaned as my grip tightened in his hair, causing him to bite and suck more harshly as he moved back and forth between both breasts, making sure to not leave one out. 

Before long I pulled away and lifted his shirt over his head. His pale torso looked as if it had been chiseled from moon stone. He was perfect in every way. I ran my hands down his chest and abdomen softly, barely touching his skin. I wanted to make his want it, and make his anticipate it. Ashe growled and grabbed my wrists, firmly placing them on his pale skin. I smiled proudly, but ran my hands up and down his body, before I began exploring his body with my lips. 

I was enjoying myself, kissing every inch of exposed skin I could find, hearing Ashe's breathless moans as my lips made him shiver in delight. Soon enough though Ashe became impatient. He picked me up and raced me to the bed dropping me on my back. I smiled up at him as he removed my pants and panties. Ashe looked up at me with a wicked smile before diving between my legs. My back arched and my hands grasped the covers tightly as he devoured me. He was extremely good at it, let me tell you. I was thrashing and moaning his name. 

I could feel the coil begin to form in the pit of my stomach as Ashe continued his feast. When the coil snapped my body arched off the bed and I screamed my pleasure. Ashe looked up at me triumphantly and pulled  his own pants down revealing his rather large and lengthy manhood he had been hiding. I knew I was staring, there was no doubt about that. Ashe was looking at me smugly as he crawled over top of me. "Like what you see my queen?" He taunted. I smiled at him and nodded. "I do." 

Ashe laughed, and to my surprise he thrust his entire length into me in one thrust. I dug my mails into his back and yelled out in both pleasure and pain. Ashe didn't wait for me to adjust to his size, he was too invested in what he was doing. He began thrusting. Slowly at first, then he got faster and faster until he was pounding into me so hard and so fast I swear we were going to break the bed. I didn't care though. All I cared about was the feeling of Ashe inside me. How our bodies felt as we moved together. 

When I felt that coil begin to tighten again, and I felt Ashe as he began to pulse I knew we were both close, and so did Ashe. So he picked up the pace, pounding into me with renewed vigor. And I met him thrust for thrust, both of us chasing our release. Ashe thrust one more time and groaned, as the coil inside me snapped. Both of us finishing as one. 

As we both reached our climax, an aura or all colors burst from us, swirling around us like a tornado. Both our marks glowed in the lights. I watched as Ashe's blue eyes started to glow, and noticed the silver glow of my own eyes against his skin. Then out of myself came a brilliant golden light, brighter and more beautiful than I have ever seen. Out of Ashe, came a silver light of the same brilliance. They merged together taking color from the swirling lights. We watched in awe as the newly merged lights split in two and reentered the two of us. 

Ashe and I stared at each other in awe and confusion, but I could also feel a piece of Ashe within myself. As if he were apart of me, another part of my soul. Not like a mate bond, something stronger, deeper than that. I could feel Ashe's essence, his very soul. "Ashe, I can feel everything." I whispered. Ashe climbed off me and lay beside me. "I can too." He replied. "I can feel your every heart beat, your every emotion, I can hear your forefront thoughts, feel your soul. It's the bond." He said. "It's stronger than I ever imagined it would be." 

I looked over at him. "What was the lights? and the light that came out of us?" I asked. "Well, the gold and silver were our essence, our souls enter twining with the others to form a bond. The lights that were added were the power of the royals, you are now officially queen." He says. Wait, queen? How? "But, how? How am I queen?" I asked, shocked. "Since I was already king and we hadn't completed the mating ritual you were not meant to be queen yet. But now that we are mated, we are official and you are queen." He informed me.  Well, I should have known this would happen, and if I was being honest with myself I really didn't care. Ashe and I were one now, we were forever bonded and no one could ever tear us apart.
