The Crown's Entrapment-Chapter 555 An Explosive Finish

"Our Queen! Our Luna!"

Xenia could only laugh and smile as she felt her body move in ways she had never done before in a supposedly formal setting. She didn't know how she ended up dancing to the merry tune of the band playing in the background, but what she did know was that everyone was clapping to the beat as she moved her feet in time with the melody.

"Go! Go! Go! Go!"

With each chant, the more the air around her seemingly smelt of alcohol as she laughed her way to the center of the great hall. She moved her body to the beat, swaying her hips and giving everyone of her new people a show that they would never forget.

"How do you like this?"

She let out a sultry chuckle as she sashayed across the dancefloor, making sure to not do anything too inviting so as to not let off the wrong impression. Not that she really needed to. Everyone knew that she was Darius's, and anybody that thought otherwise would probably end up getting a fist up their face for thinking so.

[Xen?]

She let out an inviting smile as she quickly turned her head to the entrance of the great hall. Sure enough, Darius was staring straight at her, his eyes burning through her body as her allure worked wonders on him.

"Care to join me?" she eagerly motioned to him, her fingers curling ever so subtly as she stretched out her hand to him. "I'd like to have a dance partner."

She inwardly smirked as she saw his expression morph from brief want before quickly composing himself for the occasion. They were out in the open, after all, and him sweeping her off her feet only to ravage her right there and then would be a bad image even if they were in very friendly territory. It also didn't help that everyone around them turned their attention to their king, chanting at him to join her as if they were mere equals under the celebrations being held.

"Who am I to reject my wife's advances?" Darius smirked as he came to meet her. Grabbing her hand, he then quickly pulled her body close to his. "I can only hope that you can keep up."

[Really, Darius?] she mentally scoffed at him.

[I'm quite serious,] he scoffed back. [We'll be turning things up a notch. Just to match the mood.]

[On that, I can agree.]

Wordlessly, both of them took to the dancefloor, the music seemingly picking up their intentions as the beat intensified to match the energy. Xenia could only laugh and swoon as Darius began to lead her in their dance, his movements snappy and flamboyant as he swung and spun her around to the beat. He was an utter professional, something that she didn't expect him to be.

"Look at them go!"

"That's our Alpha!"

"And our Luna's keeping up!"

Xenia scoffed at the smallest insinuation that she couldn't keep up with Darius. Instead, she intensified her movements, matching her husband's move per move as they all but dominated the dancefloor.

[I didn't think you'd be this good of a dance,] she earnestly complimented.

[And I didn't think you can move this swiftly and gracefully, my love,] Darius complimented back.

[Hey, you'd think that fighting and dancing aren't the same art,] she scoffed at him. [A good fighter is usually a good dancer.]

They both smiled at each other's words as the music being played seemingly built up more and more, allowing them to go for more daring moves as they capitalized on the now empty dancefloor. By the sidelines, Xenia could barely make out Aurelia politely clapping at them with a smile. Likewise, Freya and Gideon had elected to wait by the sidelines for them to finish. Though judging from Freya's looks, they might just have a rival dance pair join them in the near future.

Well, they were more than welcome to try later. But now, Xenia was more focused on thinking of something to end this impromptu performance with an explosive bang.

As the beat and melody became progressively faster and more upbeat, Xenia and Darius took the opportunity to truly show just how amazing they were at dancing. This celebration was for them, and they would make sure just how much they deserved the praise and admiration that everyone held for them.

[Darius, hold onto me,] Xenia warned her. [Once the music ends, we'll make sure that this dance will forever be remembered.]

[Got something planned then, my love?] Darius chuckled.

[Trust me on this,] she vaguely smirked.

Sure enough, with each flourish and twirl, the music inevitably came to its climax. Matching the energy, Darius and Xenia twisted and twirled, the former dipping the latter low onto the floor before pulling her back up and giving her a quick kiss to the beat. Likewise, Xenia returned the favor with a spinning jump, letting herself land on his arms before giving him a peck on his cheek.

Eventually, however, the music shifted. The finale had finally arrived, and their performance had come to an end.

[That's our cue!]

With Xenia's warning, she spread her arms out wide, letting Darius hold onto her closely with their forehead touching to the beat. And just as the cymbals crashed one last time, her white wings erupted from her back, flapping mightily and bringing them up to just underneath the massive chandelier hanging above our heads in one fell swoop.

"Now that's an explosive finish!" Darius all but cackled, his breaths hitting Xenia's as they hovered in the air.

"It's only fitting," she giggled, her eyes boring into his as she felt their passion for one another coalescing through the Bond. "Had to match the energy, you know?"

"Long live the King and Queen!"

"Long live the Alpha and Luna!"

Below them, everyone was cheering for their performance. Looking down, Xenia noted the Queen Mother giving them the proudest smile she had ever seen from the older woman. She also had Elder Handi beside her, both of them holding hands in what seemed to be a consensual manner.

"I didn't think this would happen," Darius suddenly told her, his smile never leaving his face. "From the day that we met till now, the love and happiness that I'm feeling will never end so long as I'm with you." 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

"I can say the same," Xenia lovingly breathed out, their lips brushing together as they stayed flying through the air. "To have met you like that all the way to having our child together… I feel like I fell into a trap that I willingly subjected myself to…"

One more time, they both shared a deep kiss, their love for one another apparent as white wings shed feathers throughout the great hall. Xenia didn't think that she would ever wear a crown after deciding to run away, but it would seem that she ended up being willingly trapped into wearing one anyway.

Well, it didn't help that Darius was just that amazing. And she wouldn't have it any other way…

...THE END…..
