Regan had seen Ivorie walking towards him. He had even seen her when she entered the bathing room with her handmaid, he had just decided not to announce his presence as he wanted some moments to himself. That was the reason why he had come here without any maids.When she fell into the water, he smirked and decided not to help her. ‘Serves her right’. All of a sudden, he felt something soft wrap around his stiffened cock. He flinched as a jolt of electricity shot through him. He shuddered and involuntarily released a groan of pleasure when he felt it.But it was gone so soon and his wolf growled dejectedly.Ivorie screamed from under the water. Regan knew she must have realised what she held.He decided to help her and went under the water himself. Holding her arms, he pulled her out. Her gasps for breath rented the air as she leaned unto him for support.Their bodies glued together and Regan couldn't help but relish the feeling of her soft skin on his war-ridden own. Her soft breasts
Regan stood before his bed in the bedroom. His grunts filled the room as his hand jerked his cock in a blur. He couldn't help it, everytime he thought of her, his stupid member would stiffen instantly as if it was controlled by magic or something.It annoyed him greatly but there was nothing he could do. She was his mate and nothing could change that fact.He grunted angrily as he switched his hand. He has been at this for hours, trying to get off just by thinking of her. But it wasn't working. His greedy cock wanted the real thing. But Regan wasn't having that. He jerked furiously, determined to get this over with.He remembered when her soft hand had wrapped around his cock. The jolt that shot through him, enveloping him with pleasure.He imagined himself not stopping her and she also continuing with her strokes. He imagined her soft hand going up and down his long shaft. “Yes!” He could feel the pressure rising between his legs.He imagined Ivorie replacing her hand with her mouth,
A growl escaped Regan's mouth and he grabbed Ivorie's neck instantly. He gazed down at her, his eyes dripping with callousness.“You white haired princess…” he hissed, ignoring how she tried to pull his hand off. “I could think of a thousand ways to punish you for your insolence.” He said in a threatening tone.Even though she was feeling discomfort from the way he was holding her neck, Ivorie glared at the Alpha coldly. She wasn't going to submit to him. She had submitted and done as she was told all her life, she wasn't going to continue like that with Regan.“And what would you do, Alpha?” She asked in a hissing tone. The coldness that dripped from her gaze clashed with Regan's enraged one.The Alpha was furious. Not only because of her act of disrespect at the courtroom but also for making him feel how he felt towards her. Yes, he blamed it on her. He blamed her for him not being able to think straight, he blamed her for him not being able to copulate with other women.“You want
Ivorie looked up at the small opening above the dungeon. A shrill wind blew into the cell, making her shudder as the cold enveloped her skin. She folded herself more into the corner she was crooked in.She may have grown up as a princess who wasn't given the best treatment, but she still wasn't used to this level of bad treatment. Yet she was determined not to bend. She didn't know how many days she had been there but by the rising and falling of the sun she had been seeing through the small opening, she guessed it may be three days.“Luna,” a voice called from outside the cell. It was the guard Regan had placed there to watch her.“Luna, please, you have to apologise to the Alpha, this place doesn't suit you.” The voice said.Shuddering, Ivorie voiced out weakly, “Ne…never,” she said defiantly, although weakly.For the past three days, she hadn't tasted food but that wouldn't make her break. She wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of submitting to him. If he got angry because
Jenna straightened herself as she saw the Alpha's mother. The older woman walked into the room, glaring at Jenna and her son with a mixture of anger and confusion.“What is the meaning of this, Regan?” She asked, glaring at Regan.The latter held himself from rolling his eyes.“Where is Ivorie?” Luna Rosina asked. Regan refused to respond.“And you. What in the name of the Moon Goddess are you doing here?” She asked, referring to Jenna.The Duchess opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted.“Just get out!” Luna Rosina bellowed, causing Jenna to scurry out of the courtroom.“Mother please stop making a fuse out of nothing.” Regan said immediately Jenna walked out.“A fuse?” The former Luna flared. “You were being intimate with another woman in the courtroom and you say I’m making a fuse! What if you were seen by the council?” She asked, placing her hands on her hips.Regan rolled his eyes, “What is the council going to do to me? Punish me? Impeach me?” He asked.Luna Rosina sighed,
Luna Rosina walked towards the infirmary early that morning, worry etched on her face. It has been three days since Ivorie had passed out, yet she hasn't regained consciousness, nor has she heard anything of Regan.She had been restless these past three days. She hadn't been able to have a good sleep. Sometimes, it was the maids that would urge her to have her rest whenever she remained in the infirmary late at night.Today again, as she paced down the hall to the infirmary, her heart thumped within her chest.“How is she?” She asked breathlessly as she barged into the infirmary. She knew she wouldn't get an answer from the healers that weren't inside the special room Ivorie was being treated. Nobody aside from herself, Shahera and the only healer that assisted her were allowed into the room.She went straight for Ivorie's room and almost bumped into Shahera who was coming out of the room.“How is she?” Luna Rosina asked in an anxious tone.“Still unconscious, Luna. In fact, I’m afrai
Regan and Estan smacked their horses, forcing the transport beasts to gallop faster.They hadn’t had the time to take a carriage as those ones would only make their travel slower. The witch healer sat behind Estan on his horse, holding him around the waist for support.Regan and Estan glanced at each other. Estan had a worrisome look on his face. ‘Do you think we can trust her?’ Estan asked through mindlink.‘I don't know, but we have no other option. However, if she tries anything funny on my Luna, I’ll have her head fed to the ravens!’ the Alpha replied as he slapped his horse again. His beast galloped faster, outrunning Estan's horse. They had to get back to Cresthowl pack as fast as possible if they meant to save Ivorie.****Late in the afternoon, Luna Rosina was sitting in the dining hall, food was being served before her but her mind was entirely somewhere else.She was thinking about Regan. Where had that stubborn child gone? This is the fourth day since he had rushed out of t
Regan marched through the castle gates as he handed his horse to a stable boy. He didn't need to tell Estan to pull the healer along with haste. Together, they entered the castle and went across it towards the stairs. The maids and servants jumped and ran on sighting their Alpha. Apparently, none of them had expected his arrival. Regan cared less about them and just continued to ascend the stairs. He would deal with them later. When he arrived at the third floor, he saw that the servants there were gathered in groups, discussing in what seemed like a grave tone. He glanced at them, wondering why they all had worrisome faces and looked at him with pity. A foreboding feeling engulfed him as he entered the corridor that led to the infirmary. He glanced at Estan as they neared the infirmary. When they got there, he didn't hesitate to throw the door open. His entry drew the attention of everyone in the infirmary at once. Their eyes flared on sighting him. “Where is she?” R
Flashback “Regan,” Ivorie called his name softly. But he was deeply engrossed in playing with his newly born son. He tickled the little Alpha, muttered incoherent words to him and spinned him around playfully. All the while, Ivorie watched him unbelievably.After the midwives departed, it was getting late, and bedtime seemed imminent, but Regan seemed to have other plans.“Regan.” Ivorie called his name more firmly this time, successfully gaining his attention.“Who would've thought you were such a baby lover?” Ivorie asked, folding her arms across her chest with a smirk on her lips.Regan’s face lit with a happy smile as he gently laid the baby in his cradle. Now he could focus on his mate properly.“Well, I could be a lover of anything.” He said with a sly smirk, propping on the bed next to Ivorie. She giggled as he grabbed her and tickled her.“Stop, Regan. I need to tell you something really serious.” Ivorie's tone dropped a few octaves, testifying that she was being serious.Reg
Ivorie and Luna Ivy joined the guests in the dining hall. As Luna Ivy sat, Alpha Johan turned to her with a slight frown.“Where have you been?” He asked in a low grumpy tone.Luna Ivy took in a sharp breath and froze for some seconds. For a moment, it seemed as though she would falter but she exhaled and turned to him with a serious face.“To ease myself, husband.” She answered.Alpha Johan kept his glare on her for a while. He gave a suspicious glance at Ivorie but when he saw that she was speaking casually with a guest, he took his focus away from his wife.Luna Ivy sighed and sat upright. She gave Ivorie a subtle look and they both acknowledged themselves secretly.Ivorie sat upright also and kept a straight face.‘It’s time, Regan. Mother is clean.’ She mindlinked Regan.Regan, who was discussing with some other Alpha's, didn't change his facial expression when he heard her.‘Excellent. Play along.’ He returned.“Attention, please! Everyone!” Regan's voice overshadowed others’. S
“From Luna Ameriel of Blood moon pack!” An old gift bearer announced as he walked up the throne where Regan and Ivorie were seated.Ivorie smiled down at the old man as he knelt before them, carrying a large basket.Ivorie's eyes went to one of the guests seated on the rolls of chairs in the throne room and smiled at her -Luna Ameriel.“Thank you, Luna.” She said and the Luna smiled back warmly.They have been on it for several minutes now. Various dignitaries from various packs were gifting them, showering them with prayers and blessings for the birth of their baby.Although, Ivorie was smiling on the outside, she was worried inwardly. She hadn't heard of her parents’ arrival yet. She had specifically sent messengers to Moonbeam pack to inform her parents about her delivery. She was especially keen on seeing her mother.‘Won’t you relax? Your mother will be here soon!’ Maia scolded Ivorie as the latter kept on eyeing the entrance of the throne room. She was expecting them to walk in
Alpha Johan groaned and rolled on his bed as the loud gong sounded. He muttered some incoherent words but didn't open his eyes.Luna Ivy, who was sleeping next to him, however, woke up immediately the gong sounded. She rubbed her eyes and saw her husband still sound asleep.She reached for him to wake him but before she could, Alpha Johan felt a sharp burning sensation on his lap. He yelled and sprang up. His action startled Luna Ivy, who looked at him in shock.“What did you do?” Alpha Johan asked, gripping Luna Ivy’s shoulder roughly.The Luna shook, “N…nothing, I haven't touched you!” She cried.Alpha Johan growled and pushed her away roughly. He felt something in his lap again and touched the area through his trousers. He felt something in the pocket and with a frown, dipped his hand in and pulled out a piece of parchment.“How did this get here?” He muttered as he turned to the side of the bed to read the parchment.Squinting his eyes, he read. The letter was from the witch from
“Ahhhh!!!!” Ivorie's screams of agony reverberated through the wall of her chamber as extreme pain ripped through her body.Regan had refused to take her to the infirmary, claiming that a personal space like her chamber was most perfect for labour.“Luna, you need to remain as calm as you can!” One of the midwives said, holding Ivorie's hand to support her.“It hurts! It hurts so much!” Ivorie wailed, tears falling down the sides of her face. She shook her head again and screamed through gritted teeth as another wave of pain ripped through her.Her world had narrowed to a singular focus: survival. The contractions ripped through her body like a raging storm, leaving her gasping for breath. “Quick, hold her down!” The midwives scurried around upon their leader's instruction. They were all keen on keeping their Luna alive and helping her deliver her baby safely."Push, Ivorie, push!" The oldest midwives urged, her voice firm but motherly. She would have probably gone through the same p
The courtroom was abuzz with anticipation as the Elders and councilmen gathered around the wide table, ready to interrogate Liliana. They murmured amongst each other and it was evident that excitement was brewing within them.They were finally going to know who their enemies were and maybe, if the goddess willed it, they would be able to defeat them.Regan walked in and as expected, silence descended in the room. The Elders and councilmen rose to their feet and gave their Alpha a short bow as he made his way to his majestic seat. They sat down only after Regan did.Regan’s gaze swept over theirs. It was obvious that he was equally as excited as they were. But he couldn't deny that the air was also thick with tension. He could feel the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. He was determined to get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding Liliana's involvement with Nick and whoever else was behind the numerous attacks on the castle and pack altogether.“Bring the witch.” Regan inst
“That's impossible! What would she be doing here?” Regan asked no one in particular.‘Alpha,’ just then, a mindlink filled his mind. ‘The witch, Alpha…she's here…at the gates…’ a guard stuttered.Regan's jaw dropped before his hands tightened into fists. His face then switched to a mixture of joy and fury.He was joyful because his enemy had made it easier for him to kill her and furious because he remembered what she caused Estan.“Remain here with the witches.” He instructed the two guards with him and stomped out of the hall.Regan paced down the stairs and hallways, rage coursing through his veins. He was in the spirit of killing at that moment. And he was going to take it all out on that witch.‘Alpha, what should we do with her?’ a guard mindlinked him.‘Chain her to her knees, I'll be right there.’ he instructed as he increased his pace.As soon as he descended the last flight of stairs, it dawned on him that Liliana was a witch and she could easily take down his warriors witho
Meanwhile, Ivorie was in her chamber, fiddling with the old parchment she had stolen from Elder Sherman's chamber back in Blackwood pack.She went through the content again, still finding it difficult to grapple with the truth that it held.‘Is this real?’ She thought.‘You’re holding the parchment in your hands.’ Maia’s smug tone filled her mind. Ivorie was sure she was rolling her eyes but she ignored her.‘Do you think I should tell him?’ She asked Maia.‘It’s your choice to make, Ivorie. If you really want to live the rest of your life as Alpha Clawn's sister, then tell him.’ Maia replied.Ivorie sighed, her shoulders slumping. She shifted her position as she felt slightly uncomfortable in her lower belly. Her baby was always stirring.She contemplated the difficult decision further.‘Maybe I should tell Regan, instead. He’ll know what to do. Or perhaps we'll be able to come up with a solution together.’ She thought.She looked up, determined. “Yes, that's what I'll do.” She decla
The golden rays of the sun upon the pack shrine illuminated the solemn faces of the gathered pack members. Five days have passed since Estan's tragic demise. Five days of absolute pain for his loved ones. Especially Regan. The Alpha hadn't just lost his Beta and most trusted advisor. He lost a friend, a brother. And the thought of that weighed on him for days.The burial ritual for Estan had begun, and the air was thick with grief. Regan, his eyes red-rimmed from lack of sleep, stood at the forefront, where the priests were lined up and chanting. His jaw clenched in a mix of despair and rage.Soon, the priests were done chanting and one by one, members of the royal family and Estan’s own extended family, moved forward to the wooden platform his body was tied to.One by one, they poured handfuls of red sand on his lifeless body. Some wailed, some simply couldn't utter a word.Regan moved forward after Ivorie, he was last to pour his sand. He stared longingly at his lost friend. Memori
