A lot of things happened after Anduin woke up. For a start, they took a bath together that involved her giving him a soapy handjob and ended with her tasting his cum with her tongue for the first time. From the orgasmic reaction it was clear that the mark was clearly doing its work.
Then, on the way back to the bed to engage in activities that would have made another bath necessary, they were rudely interrupted by an explosion. It seemed Priscilla Ashvane had survived her flight out of the city after all and now her gathered forced were laying siege to Boralus.
They both got back into their clothes as quick as possible and joined the defensive battle. In an attempt to keep the already terribly wide spread secret of his presence in Kul Tiras a secret, Anduin kept his fights to somewhere where it was hard to identify him and let Jaina do the heavy lifting. Together, they slew the invading force, largely consisting of pirates and the arch mage used her mastery of frost to put out the fires wherever she quickly could.
It was evident that they had not expected Jaina to be there. Where they identified her, the scum, that was only bound to Ashvane's cause by as much honour as gold could buy, dropped their weapons and ran. The peak of the battles came about when they faced sea giant and a kraken, both of which they slew only with time which they did not have and certainly costed dozens if not hundreds of civilians their life. However, they had to kill those creatures to reach the Azerite artillery that was aiming at the Proudmoore palace. If they failed in that, the damage would be much direr.
Compared to the sea monstrosities, freezing artillery was child's play.
However, the terror did not end there. The cities defences were scrambled and broken when the sound of yet another alarm rung from the walls. Ashvane was approaching with an entire pirate fleet. Katherine looked ready to give up hope when Jaina arrived, raising the anchor shaped silver pendant that was supposedly a holy relic of Kul Tiras towards the waters.
Anduin stood in the crowd, all shocked at the apparent doom that was about to befall them. As the Lord Admiral turned to her daughter. "Legend has it that this pendant is the heart of our fleet," she said, looking at it, "when I saw you and it, I thought that hope had returned to our shores. That, with it, I could call our fleet home. I now see my mistake." she took Jaina's hand and gently placed the pendant in her hand. "I am not the one to wield it."
The arch mage looked at the silver thing in her palm as her mother lowered her arms again. Beginning to hum a song, one that was used to curse her in Kul Tiras for years, she did as her mother and raised to the sky. Storms, conjured by corrupt tide sages in Stormsong Valley, darkened the distant clouds. It was against that darkness that the anchor began shining bright. "There you are," Jaina muttered and an enormous spell was unleashed with the pendant as the medium.
Thunder in the distant cloud. One flash, two flashes, then a large strike, the drumming sound rolled over the land as the silhouette of a large battle barge became visible in the fog. One by one ships followed after the pirate fleet, peeled themselves out of they wet of the unnatural thunder. They all bore the flag of a large anchor.
The Kul Tiran fleet had returned just in the nick time. The storm slowly cleared as the armada closed in on Ashvane's cobbled together alliance of lowlifes. It was to no surprise that the white flag was hissed before a single shot was fired.
"It seems hope truly has returned," Katherine smiled at her daughter. A single glance of the old woman's eyes went over to Anduin. The regent of Kul Tiras looked fulfilled, but as tired as the time she and the High King had first met. "With you, Lord Admiral."
Anduin's eyes went wide. Not only had Katherine just given up her post, she had given it to the daughter she must have known was his by now. Indeed, the grey eyes of the old women lingered on Anduin long enough to inform him of the fact that she was fully aware of what she had just done. Of the implications and of the consequences, she was aware of it all.

"The daughters out of your marriage will inherit that name Proudmoore, not Wrynn," Katherine made clear her one demand to agreeing to their engagement. "And they will be heirs of Kul Tiras first and Stormwind second, I understand that this arrangement works with your announcement that your child with the priestess Tyrande will lay claim to that throne?"
"That is correct, lady Proudmoore," Anduin bowed his head. This way the human child wouldn't get envious even if it didn't get to rule over Stormwind, as it always had Kul Tiras to fall back upon. If it was a daughter.
"Good, then I await an invitation to the marriage soon," Katherine said.
"Mother...the marriage will be tomorrow," Jaina told the former Lord Admiral and reached for her stomach. "I am already pregnant and I yearn to be with my ma- Anduin officially. This should happen as soon as possible."
Katherine looked taken aback. "Did a priest confirm this?"
"Lady Proudmoore, need I remind you who I am," Anduin was amused by the question. "But even without me seeing whether or not the spark of life has ignited your daughter, I can guarantee that she is pregnant."
"As can my handmaidens," Katherine muttered under her breathe and nodded. "You might as well marry immediately on your return if you want to do it that quickly."
"I need my double to return to the city beforehand. Certainly, the citizenry will be shocked by this sudden announcement even without me revealing I have been on a secret mission," the High King explained. He knew the nobles would get on board. Not few of them had suggested to both his father and Anduin himself that they should make efforts taking that arch mage as a bride. For the rest of the population, he wasn't so sure.
"I see," Katherine pondered. "I assume Boralus will be able to rebuild itself without me for a few days. My son is a capable lad, he can run this ship without a me."
Together they stepped through portal and exited in the Stormwind Keep. They were greeted by Tyrande, who had made a slight addition to her wardrobe in his absence. In addition to the silver, easy to get out of robe and the diadem that showed her to be the High Priestess, she wore a golden collar with a tag dangling on it that depicted the Alliance symbol, with the slight difference that the lion's mane looked exactly like the mark Anduin had left on her body.
She was doing some paperwork there, eagerly waiting with one hand flipping the pages and the other massaging her bare clit between her wide-spread legs. The moment the three of them appeared, she stood up to undo her robes. "Master Anduin, finally you return, I have missed you so much I was sick with lust," the calm words caressed his ears light moonlight as the robe whisperingly fell to the floor. "I see you have successfully found Jaina. Got to see you, arch mage Proudmoore."
"To you, I will soon be queen," Jaina assured her, opening her mouth to add something lewd but, aware of her mother, who was frozen by the scandalous situation, she stopped herself.
"Indeed, Tyrande, we need to organize a wedding ceremony, so get your robes back on. I need the people you will speak to, to have the blood where they can think with it." The High Priestess was as disappointed about this as he was. He couldn't await to fuck her again, much less could he await taking both her and Jaina at the same time.
However, there was an order to these things.

Shaw returned to Stormwind in a hurry. Luckily, he had been in the civilized parts of Redridge at the time, so the news reached him quickly. Within 12 hours he had hurried back, using all the portals and griffons necessary. From the moment the spymaster, disguised as Anduin, stepped into the city and Anduin himself stepped before the altar were a mere four hours. Four hours spent in a hurry to assemble the nobility, get dressed, convince the church, inform the heralds and then finally start the ceremony. Throughout that whole endeavour, Jaina and Tyrande were gone from his side. Shandris was still around, sucking his dick at the one occasion they had time for it.
