Novels by Ivy Walters

Candice felt awash with satisfaction.It felt good to put smiles on the face of someone.She wished she could gift her more, but the Head of staff would not let it slide. He was in charge of the domestic funds and ran the house on a strict budget, only making adjustments if and when directly instructed by his Lord Alpha. She would definitely gift Everette, Jason, Jordan, and Sally a little token before she said goodbye to them forever."What are you intently thinking about?" Bernice asked."Nothing interesting," Candice murmured as she walked over to join her on the couch. She had donned a simple green dress, dotted with white polka dots."You have been frequently spacing out these days, tell me what's on your mind?""I-I just wish that my life wasn't so complicated. Like this was some sort of dream, I was not in a parallel universe. I would just wake up and everything would be back to normal," her voice was strained, with all the pent-up emotions raging within her."Why would you wan

"I heard a voice," Candice said as she stared at herself in the mirror."You did?" Bernice asked from her position on a couch."What kind of voice?" Everette mused as she put some pins around the dress Candice was wearing.They were having a casual conversation as Candice tried on different dresses. Early that morning, Everette had arrived at her bedroom with over a dozen dresses from the seamstress.Two weeks had already passed by since Bernice and Rojan had returned from the earth plane.The head of staff, at the house had casually informed her that a date for a banquet had been scheduled, and on that day, she would be introduced to society.Yes, you heard that right.She had been informed, notified, and made aware without any consultation from her, that her very own debut to society had been set up.The only prior information she had gotten was when Wayne had taken her to the red chamber in the city center, where she had eavesdropped on their conversation. He had not bothered to di

Zipporah smirked to herself as she descended the stone steps.The assembly had come to a close and they were all free to go. As she walked down the steps that wound around the walls and led to the lower part of the fortress, to the base level of the dungeons. Her lips curved into a wry smile.For a moment there, she thought she had been caught.Thanks to her quick response, she had shifted the blame to the nymphs. Removing herself from close scrutiny. It would have been a catastrophe if he found out she was the supposed thief.A blow to her ego.Howls echoed through this level from different creatures she had captured with the help of Waylon's men and locked up in these dungeons, to use their blood for her dark magic."Silence!" she snapped at them, her voice dripping with malice.The cries immediately ceased.She began to walk from one cell to another, the creatures scurried into the depth of the cell when they saw her glower at them. One cell held a griffin, another held a chimera, a

Sited upon his stone throne was Waylon.Standing before him were his subjects; Zipporah, Drac, and Smeden."You assured me," Waylon murmured as his eyes moved from one body frame to another.He was dressed in royal blue apparel with a red cape attached at the shoulders. Upon his head sat a golden crown embellished with rubies, emerald green and blue sapphire stones. In his hand was a long staff made of bronze with glyph carvings, each knuckle of his finger was adorned with gold rings. He was lounging in his seat with an air of royalty while addressing the trio gathered before his mini-assembly."The sorceress was the one who recommended her," Drac said casting a side glance at Zipporah.Waylon's gaze shifted to Zipporah "Yes, it was you who brought her. You assured me of her outstanding abilities and skill set."Zipporah shrugged "She was indeed a clever, slippery, and resourceful hireling. It's a shame she could not complete her mission.""But Lamias are said to be formidable and fea

"My heart?" he let out a bitter laugh "Far from it, I would not let myself get carried away. I have an end goal; nothing can thwart my plans.""As your beta, I would agree with you to do what's best for your plane and pack. As a friend, I would tell you not to make a mistake you may regret later on," Rojan advised."Regret? What's there to regret about?" he harrumphed."You're clearly falling for her, why do you fight it?" Rojan pointed out."I am not," he countered, then scoffed "What is there to fall for? She acts with no dignity whatsoever. Is it dancing half-naked with a total stranger and allowing him the pleasure of kissing her or striking my face with her fist?""Wait, what?" Rojan did a double take, "She slapped you?"Wayne paused, that had come out involuntarily.Rojan threw his head back and laughed, his booming laughter bouncing off the walls.Wayne put a hand to his temple, why had he let that slip off his tongue? It only showed that he was still clearly pissed at the kiss

Busted!"Rojan you're back," Wayne acknowledged.Rojan was standing a few meters away from him, carrying Bernice on his back. The once vibrant young lady looked passed out and was sleeping soundly on his shoulders."Yes, I am," Rojan replied casting him a mug stare."I was not expecting you guys so soon," he said, feeling a little embarrassed. This was the second time in one evening that Rojan had caught him in compromising positions. Luckily for him, he had donned a robe despite his haste to come to her. What logical explanation could he give if he was caught naked in front of Candice's door? It would have been worse if Bernice was awake, gratefully she was fast asleep."I actually came to talk to her, but changed my mind," he explained as his left ear twitched.Rojan looked at him, his eyes roaming over his physique. Then he nodded, his eyes disbelieving "Okay, if you say so.""What happened, why are you back so soon?" He inquired."This one is wild, immediately we got to a pub. She
