Embrace(Thranduil fanfic)

Chapter 1

Hello all my fellow readers and followers! I know I am way late but here is the sequel! (If you haven't read Entwined give it a go but don't worry this story can be read on its own) Let me know what you think! All the characters belong to J.R.R Tolkein except for Maratheil and Aranel:)

I laughed and smacked his back.

"Giddy up," I said.

I could imagine the annoyance on his face. He adjusted me and supported my legs with his arms. He carried me out to the hallway.

"It feels like forever," I said to him.

"Yeah," He answered.

"Let's go to the…"

"Library?"

"Wow, you really are my husband," I said with a smile.

He carried me to the library and refused to put me down, even in a chair.

"We're not leaving the library, so I guess you can hold me the whole time," I said.

"I can handle your scrawny body," Thranduil said.

"Whatever," I replied.

"There's something I need to tell you…"

"And why are you just telling me now?" I asked.

"I didn't know how to bring it up," He said.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm taking you back to the bed. I want to face you," He said.

I remained quiet as we went back and he laid me in bed, putting my legs in one after the other. I held his hand.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I got a letter from Galadriel," He said.

I looked at him just to make sure he was being serious, but I knew he wouldn't bring up her name if he was not being serious.

"What did she want?"

"Just to remind us that our marriage was never approved," He said.

"We never needed her approval. We proved ourselves."

"We have to be careful with her, you know the power she holds over us," Thranduil said.

"So?" I asked.

"She wouldn't just randomly send that letter for no reason. Something is going on."

I looked out the window and saw Mara running around.

"We'll find out," I said kissing his cheek.

(Thranduil's p.o.v)

I walked out of the room and let Mara spend some time in there with her mother.

"Did you tell her?" Legolas asked me.

"Some of it," I said.

"She'll kill you when she finds out," He said.

"That's for me to worry about. In her state, she just needs to be happy. Threats from Galadriel would only make her feel worse."

Legolas looked at me with a serious expression.

"Nothing is safe anymore."

"That's why we must defend ourselves. I'm going to Rivendale tomorrow. I'm going to see her face to face," I told him.

I left Mirkwood in the middle of the night making sure no one knew except Legolas and the guards. I rode to Rivendale but I was both nervous and slightly scared. Galadriel should not be taken lightly. When I got there the sun was slowly rising and I could see Lord Elrond standing there.
