queen of hearts every time

Himera may have locked the children up but that certainly didn’t mean they remained that way. They were never where they were told to remain and though she hadn’t caught them, Siren was well aware they had found some way to escape their confines. Not that she’d mention that part. Besides now that they were alone all of her attention was on her King, and not the children of Fenmyre. He squeezed and held her tight as they kissed and his paws ran over her silky smooth fur.

She would have let him ignore whatever he had to tell her, she had sought him out and not the other way around. Her desires were put aside for the moment, and even as she kissed him Chimera pulled away so he could catch her gaze seriousness in his tone. Siren’s tongue returned between pale lips as he made his confession without anymore lead up. He loved Aliana. That was no great surprise to her, his affection for all of them was no secret. She didn’t particularly expect the next words that came from him though.

He loved her, and he was going to give her the Klein name and elevate her to his Queen. Surprise, shock, and though she tried to hide it hurt crossed her features as Siren had to avert her gaze from him. She already knew she wasn’t enough for him, from the moment she returned to him from the Armada she knew she would never be enough for him. But once she’d finally given herself fully she’d thought that maybe…

"Oh…” She tried so hard not to feel suddenly deflated. She tried to remember her status. ”Aliana is the embodiment of grace, loyalty, and devotion, she deserves it.” Siren spoke graciously, but her heart twisted. "I… I...” She stuttered, trying to remain gracious. "My King, what rank would you have me take instead?” In her mind this was a replacement; it didn't occur to her that Chimera wished her to remain and have Aliana join her.
