The Mistress

Epilogue

"Your Majesty."

I turned to the voice. Behind me stood one of the guards.

"Your husband has asked you to join him in the throne room."

I smiled.

"Lead the way."

When I entered my husband was on his throne.

"Star-shine."

He smiled.

"Darling," I said sitting next to him.

He leaned over and kissed my cheek.

"Shall we make our announcement to the Lords," he asked.

"Why keep them waiting any longer," I questioned him as I returned his smile.

"It is with my wife and I's greatest pleasure to inform you that, in a few months an heir to the throne shall be born."

Applause erupted as we stood, and Alex pulled me into him.

"I can't wait," he whispered.

I giggled.

"Me either," I said as he pressed his lips to mine and I knew I wouldn't want to be anywhere else than right here by his side.
