The Queen's Mates

CHAPTER 72 - Valerian's Mate

Dinner was silent. I look down on my food and eat quietly; my cheeks were flushed. Two of my sons just witnessed something that I never imagine. I ruffled my hair gently, avoiding eye contact from Xavier and Lucian. "Boys!" I heard Lucian's voice. "We are deeply sorry for being mad at you!" Lucian tried to smile but he was blushing too. "Sorry, dad! We shouldn't have barged into your room without permission!" Adriel muttered. "What do you mean? I only saw Klaus and Damon!" Xavier exclaimed. "All five of us were chasing each other! We heard mum's cries, so we were worried, and we asked Klaus and Damon to burst into the room, not realizing that you were... you know!" Valerian covered his eyes. Lucian hit Xavier's shoulder; "It was your great idea! I told you to cover her mouth as I pleasured her!" Lucian growled.

"You were at her top; I was at her bottom! You had..." he continued. "Stop!" I yelled. Our children covered their ears as if they did not hear anything. I blushed harder as I covered my face. "It's alright mummy! We are sorry!" Hera mumbled. Suddenly, Damon and Klaus laughed. "Our dearest mummy and daddies! We understand everything that is going on! We have grown into that age! It's not something to be ashamed off!" they grinned. Our other children laughed but we are flushed. "Mummy!" Adriel stood up and embraced me; "Don't cry!" I didn't realize tears fell down my cheeks. "Mummy!" my other four children surrounded me, embracing me tightly. "Seriously? Hello, your dads are waiting!" Xavier growled in jealousy. Lucian glared at Xavier. Xavier gave an apologetic smile. I swallowed hard and tried to smile.

I was in the garden at night, strolling alone as Xavier and Lucian had an urgent meeting in the hall with the councils. I was still embarrassed that my children witnessed the scene. I told myself I will lock the door and seal it with my powers next time. Suddenly, "Mummy!" I heard Valerian's voice calling. "Yes dear?" I turned and asked. "I found my mate!" he blushed. I embraced him tightly; "It's wonderful!" I muttered. "But, it's not a maiden! It's Calder." He muttered. I was stunned; "Does he knows?" I asked. He nodded; "He told me he knew when he first saw me when I was five years old but due to our positions! He kept quiet!" he mumbled. "As long as you love him! I am happy for you both." I grinned. "Daddy?" he muttered. "I will settle them!" I smiled.

He embraced me tightly and left to his training room as I walked back to my room. "My dearest kings, Valerian found his mate!" I exclaimed. "That's great!" Lucian uttered as he removed his tunic on the bed. "Who is that fine lady?" Xavier asked who was already lying on the bed. "It's not a lady but a fine man! It's Calder!" I tried to smile. Both of them jumped from their bed. "Valerian's mate is a man!" both of them exclaimed. "Don't overreact!" I growled. "We would want to meet him! We need to make sure that Calder is fit to be our son- in law!" they mumbled. "Of course, he is!" I frowned. "But can a small body like Calder able to fit a ripped body like our son?" Xavier mumbled. I growled at his joke. "Calder is my mage! I will meet him tomorrow!" I muttered. "We will meet them together!" Lucian smiled. Valerian was the first among his siblings to found his mate.

"Calder!" I called in the building. Lucian and Xavier stood beside me. "Where is him?" Xavier frowned. We entered the building and we halted when we heard noises. "Stop!" I growled. "Why?" Lucian was puzzled. "Let's leave!" I muttered. "There are noises in that room!" Xavier pointed. "It's mixed of Valerian and Calder's voices and you two recognized Valerian's voice!" I mumbled. "So?" Lucian scratched the back of his head. "It sounds like someone is having fun!" Xavier giggled. "If you both won't leave, I will make you both!" I growled. I raised my hands and water encircled them and tightened its grip on their body and we left the building.

Warriors who were guarding the palace were looking baffled as their kings were tied while their queen roamed like the kings have done a grave mistake. "I was planning to knock!" Xavier muttered. I turned and glared at their mischievousness. "Promise me that you two won't ever interfere with our children's love life!" I growled. "Of course, we won't!" Lucian muttered. "Promise Me!" I growled as I tightened the grip. "We promised!" they yelled simultaneously. I smiled, satisfied and I released them. They fell to the sand. I chuckled as they chased after me. I ran far from them.
