Smooching sounds rented the air as Regan and Ivorie were locked in a frantic kissing and caressing session. They had both rushed away from the courtroom into Regan's chamber, even leaving the door slightly ajar.They cared less as their minds were only filled with the irresistible need to satisfy each other. All the sexual build up they had both pent up inside them for their weeks apart seemed to suddenly burst open now. They need each other.Regan's frantic kisses went lower to Ivorie's neck, tickling her. She giggled as she tried to push him off vainly.“Do not deprive me of what I own!” He growled throatily, not taking his face off her neck.“I…am not, I just…I need to tell you something…really important…” ivorie said through sharp breaths and low gasps as a result of Regan's mouth assault on her.“You can tell me after we are done.” He growled in protest. He refused to allow anything to get in his way of having his mate now. He had been waiting weeks for that, fighting his heads o
Nick entered his chamber that bright afternoon, meeting Kiya lying on the bed. He heaved a sigh and settled on a chair.Kiya noticed him walking in and sat up. “And?” She asked. “What is the latest on our plot?” She asked.Without turning around, Nick answered by telling her about what he and Alpha Johan had been doing for the past five days – about the Alpha's that Alpha Johan had joined hands with to go against Regan. He told her about their promise to revoke their alliances with Cresthowl pack.“But how will that help us?” She asked, sliding off the bed and sitting on the edge.Nick heaved a sigh before relying, “Alpha Johan believes that using a political weapon against Regan will aid us greatly. So he wants to weaken his toes politically and leave him alone and powerless.”“But you're forgetting one thing,” Kiya said, “Alpha Regan is never powerless. There is a reason he is known as the Dreaded Warlord, Nick.”.“So what would you have me do? I don't know about you but that seems
Regan sat silently at the entrance of a garden, lost in his own thoughts. Thoughts about the messengers that were brought dead filled his mind. He wondered greatly why the Alphas would have done that and what level of boldness they possessed to even think of doing that at all.He didn't know what to feel. Rage, for losing his men or pain and sadness, for the same reason.‘Those Alphas should be vanquished for doing such vile thing!’ Boris growled within his mind, sending a wave of rage through him. Regan took in a deep breath to suppress the emotion. He didn't wish to be angry just yet.‘Sometimes I just wonder how many lives have been lost while following my orders.’ he thought.‘It is not your fault, don't make it sound like it is.’ Boris snarled at him.Just then, he heard footsteps behind him and his nerve ticked.“I believe I made myself clear when I said no one should…” he had turned around to see Ivorie walking towards him before he completed his statement.His emotions lighte
“How long has it been now?” Lady Rosina asked as she mixed a herb mixture in a small metal pot.“A moon and a half, mother.” Ivorie answered from opposite her mother in-law.It was already, according to Ivorie's calculation, a moon and two weeks into her pregnancy. Two weeks since three Alpha's had revoked their alliance with Cresthowl pack and proven it in a gory manner. Nothing had been done in retaliation yet, though.They were in Ivorie's chamber, as Lady Rosina had requested, where she wanted to prepare and administer herbs to Ivorie. “Take this,” said the older woman as she offered Ivorie the small pot. The thick pungent smell caused the latter to instinctively scrunch her face and retreat. Seeing her mother-in-law's serious gaze, she smiled cheesily and collected it.One single big gulp down the throat, like her mother had always told her, saved her from torture of the horrible taste. She slammed the pot on the table, still scrunching her face.“You would have to get used to i
“Argh!” Ivorie groaned painfully on the bed in the infirmary. “Shaerah, would you do something about these cramps, they're discomforting!” Ivorie said to the head healer, who was busy mixing something on a medium sized metal jug.“Hold on, Luna. This herb will stop it when I'm done brewing it.” Shaerah answered, her concentration unwavering from the herb.Ivorie sighed heavily as another pain surged through her lower belly. She had been told beforehand that carrying an Alpha baby would be a bumpy journey for her but she hadn't expected it to be this much. It was excruciating.“Shaerah…” she moaned as she gritted her teeth, gripping the sheets tightly as sweat poured from her face in torrents.“Here here,” Shaerah muttered as she rushed to her with a cup. She put it in Ivorie's mouth and helped her drink the herb.As she downed the contents of the cup, Ivorie felt the cramps recede swiftly. Her belly soon felt the painlessness it was used to. She could breathe properly now.“Thank you,
“Have you folded the cloak, Grace? It might get cold out there.” Ivorie asked as she finished knotting the straps of her gown. She turned to Grace and indeed, the handmaid was folding the emerald cloak into a small bag.However, she also noticed the sullen expression on her face. A twinge of concern tugged her heart and she asked, “Is something bothering you, Grace?” She asked the handmaid. It seemed Grace had been lost in her thoughts as she jerked when Ivorie called her name.“Uhm, there's nothing wrong, Luna. I’ll pack your dress now.’’ she said and rummaged through the bag. It was obvious she didn't have any particular thing to do there and just wanted to keep Ivorie's eyes off her.The latter sighed and walked towards Grace. To Ivorie, she wasn't just a handmaid anymore. Their relationship had grown past a Luna and her handmaid, receiving orders while Ivorie dished it out. She was her sister now.“Are you sure?” Ivorie asked in a soft tone, placing her gentle hand on Grace's shou
Ivorie's heart raced within her chest as the noise coming from the crowd increased. However, she suddenly felt a soothing feeling from within herself. Her hands stopped fidgeting and her nerves seemed to magically calm.‘Be calm, Ivorie. I’m with you.’ Maia reassured her from within. Ivorie closed her eyes and exhaled in relief. She had almost forgotten about her wolf.‘What would I do without you?’ she exclaimed inwardly.Now that she had crossed that line of keeping calm, she was ready to speak to them. But then she realised something and frowned.“How would they hear my voice from up here?” She asked herself.‘I don't suppose you know of any magic spell that can amplify my voice, do you?’ she asked her wolf playfully.‘I’m a wolf, not a witch!’ Ivorie could almost see Maia's eyes rolling at that moment.‘Luna.’ another voice entered her mind and she knew it was Brennan’s.‘I’ve got a witch.’ he announced into her mind and Ivorie turned to her right to see Brennan ushering an older
“Wh…what have you done?” Ivorie gasped as she stared in awe at the two men before her.Their lips raised into sinister smirks. “What does it look like, little Luna? I'm sure it doesn't seem like we're here to commend your great speech, does it?” One of them asked, still with a smirk on.Ivorie felt anger boil within her and instead of backing away fearfully, she fisted her hands.‘Maia, are you ready?’ she asked her wolf as she readied herself to shift.‘What? No, you're not strong enough, Ivorie!’ Maia reprimanded.Ivorie, who really felt that she was strong enough as she was the Luna, felt conflicted by her wolf's declaration. ‘I am the Luna!’ she argued.‘That doesn't mean our body is durable enough to stay in wolf form for long. I can sense their auras, Ivorie, they are both betas, which means fighting them wouldn't be an easy task, even for a trained warrior.’ Maia explained, trying to drill sense into Ivorie.“What are we waiting for, let's get her!” One of the men snarled befor
