Chapter 45 - Duchess of Mandalore

*A/N - HOLY MOLY OVER 60k hits on this story??? Thank you so much!! I still have I'm thinking roughly 20-30 chapters to go before their story ends and I'm hoping you'll love what I have in store. I have a lot of storylines to tie up.

For one, our man Obi-Wan deserves to be united with the love of his life.

Sorry for not updating this past month, life has been very hectic. I'll try to release a couple chapters very soon that I've had in the works.*

*One month later...*

Y/N's POV:

His fingers trace the dainty gold chain that has become a constant staple around my neck since our nuptials. Out in the public, our marriage is a secret. The wedding bands that most sport on their left ring finger hide under our Jedi robes as a reflection of that.

But lying here and now, in the comfort of our home in bed together, the bands of our devotion can be clearly seen on our bare chests as we snuggle up after being apart on separate missions for nearly three weeks. It's a fitting place for them to hang, over some of the most intimate parts of ourselves, because they are only even exposed to each other, just like the knowledge of their meaning. My eyes drifted to his chest where his ring lays on display and I smile.

Anakin peers down at my lips. "What are you smiling at?" He asks as the corners of his own curl upwards.

"I'm just happy." I whisper. "Happy that we're here together."

Although we have been lucky to spend some of our missions together, the majority of them are spent apart. Long stretches of time without each other is so painful, but it has made the time that we do share together even more precious. Neither of us take it for granted.

His eyes soften and he pulls me closer into him, pressing a kiss onto the top of my head. "I will always find my way back to you, Angel."

"And I to you, my love." I curl my body into his a little tighter.

Anakin's POV:

"You know your marching orders." Obi-Wan says to our collective troops as we prepare a defense against Mandalore's opponents. He'd sought out Y/N and I for help earlier this morning.

There have been allegations that Mandalore is joining the Separatists. Obi-Wan was sent there to investigate these suspicions on behalf of the Republic considering he previously knew and worked with the Duchess of Kalevala.

As in, Duchess Satine of Kalevala...

As in, Duchess Satine the love of Obi-Wan's life and the one that got away.

He refuses to talk to me about it other than the professional details. His primary focus is the duchess' safety, but unlike any other mission involving guardianship, his cares in this case go beyond that of a duty to the Republic.

He adamantly reported to the Council in honour of her defence, reporting her intentions to remain neutral during this war— but in typical Obi-Wan fashion, he was still incredibly stoic to the point the no one would guess his strong feelings towards her but me. During his visit, there was an attack on the capital city. The explosion left him to discover a terrorist organization known as Death Watch.

However, the duchess still needs to plead her case against her involvement, so she was escorted to the Senate where we would be meeting with her upon her arrival.

"The safety of the Duchess Satine is of the utmost importance." Obi-Wan stresses. "The death watch will stop at nothing to assassinate her before she pleads her case to the senate."
