Chapter Twenty Five
Chloe sat in front of the mirror, her nerves getting the best of her. Janet stood behind her, combing through her hair, and fixing it up into an elegant updo. Chloe admired the intricate design and the way it made her look older and more regal. She smiled and turned to Janet.
“Janet, what if Aiden’s parents don’t like me? What if they think I’m not good enough for him?” Chloe said, voicing her concerns. “I am used to not being liked by the people I want to like me. What if that happens again?”
Janet stopped combing and turned to her with a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, dear. Queen Martha and King Marcus are the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They don’t judge people based on their heritage or background. They’ll love you, just like everyone else in the realm.”
Chloe let out a deep breath, feeling a little more at ease. “Thank you, Janet. You always know how to calm my nerves.”
Janet chuckled. “That’s what I’m here for. Now, let’s finish getting you ready. Aiden’s parents will be here any moment.”
Chloe nodded and allowed Janet to finish up, adding a few finishing touches here and there. When they were done, Chloe couldn’t help but feel like a princess. She stood up and twirled around in her dress, feeling like the luckiest girl in the world.
“Wow, I look amazing. Thank you, Janet,” Chloe said, her eyes shining with excitement.
Janet smiled. “You’re welcome, dear. Now, let’s go show Aiden’s parents how lucky their son is to have such a beautiful and kind-hearted mate.”
Chloe took a deep breath and followed Janet out of the room, feeling both nervous and excited to meet Aiden’s parents.
Chloe’s heart raced as she saw Aiden approaching her, his handsome features causing her to catch her breath. She blushed as he complimented her appearance, feeling both nervous and excited at the same time. As he reassured her about his parents, Chloe couldn’t help but feel a sense of comfort in his words.
When Aiden presented her with the stunning necklace, Chloe was speechless. She raised her hair as he requested and watched as he carefully placed it around her neck. The diamonds sparkled in the sunlight, making her feel like a queen.
When Aiden leaned in to kiss her neck, Chloe felt a rush of heat course through her body. His words sent shivers down her spine, and she couldn’t help but let out a moan of pleasure. “You’re so good to me,” she whispered, unable to contain her love for him.
Aiden grinned, taking her hand and leading her toward the dining hall where they would meet his parents. As they walked, he couldn’t help but steal glances at her, feeling lucky to have such a beautiful and loving partner by his side.
Chloe felt a wave of relief as Queen Martha embraced her, returning the hug warmly. As they sat down to breakfast, Aiden’s parents shared stories about his childhood that had Chloe laughing and feeling more at ease.
Chloe couldn’t help but smile as Aiden’s parents shared stories about him. “He’s always been selfless,” she chimed in, looking at Aiden fondly. “That’s one of the things I love most about him.”
Queen Martha nodded in agreement. “We’ve always been proud of him,” she said. “And now, we’re proud to have you as a part of our family, Chloe.”
Chloe’s heart swelled at the Queen’s kind words. “Thank you so much,” she said, feeling grateful and overwhelmed all at once. “I am really happy to here with you all.”
King Marcus cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention. “I know we’ve only just met, but we’re already looking forward to when you two are officially bonded as mates,” he said. “It’s a special thing, to find your soulmate, and we’re so happy for you both.”
Chloe felt a rush of excitement at the mention of their bond. She couldn’t wait to officially become Aiden’s mate, to be bound to him in every way possible. Looking at him, she knew he felt the same way.
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Aiden said, his voice full of emotion. “Chloe is everything to me, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.”
Chloe felt tears prick at the corners of her eyes as Aiden spoke. She knew without a doubt that she had found her true soulmate in him. Chloe felt a sense of belonging that she had never experienced before. With Aiden by her side and his loving parents in her heart, she knew that she had found her home.
Chloe felt a sense of comfort and belonging as she shared her own stories with Aiden’s parents. She spoke about growing up in a small town, her love for nature and animals, and her passion for art. Queen Martha and King Marcus listened intently, asking thoughtful questions and showing genuine interest in her life.
Aiden smiled at Chloe, feeling proud of how well she was connecting with his parents. He chimed in occasionally, adding his own stories and insights into their relationship. It was clear to everyone at the table that Aiden and Chloe were deeply in love and had a strong bond.
As they talked, Chloe couldn’t help but think about how wonderful it would be to officially bond with Aiden as his mate, just like his parents had mentioned. She stole a glance at him and saw the same thought reflected in his eyes.
Aiden spoke up, “We’re looking forward to that too, mother. Chloe is my everything, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.”
Queen Martha smiled warmly at Chloe, “I can see why, my dear. You are a remarkable young woman and we are blessed to have you in our family.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
