Ivy's POV

A few days after the battle, after we’ve all packed up the camp, Spencer and I make our return to the Lycan palace along with the rest of the warriors.

The car containing me, Spencer, the boy from the enemy pack–whose name, we’ve learn, is Jason–and Gamma Everly pulls up to the palace. I breathe out a sigh of relief upon seeing the familiar array of towers and arches and lush gardens, realizing that after all this time, the palace finally feels like home.

Spencer wraps his arm around me tightly, pressing a gentle kiss to my cheek. “We’re here,” he says with a soft smile.

Gamma Everly opens the car door before a maid can open it for us. “I’ll be going to the Lycan hospital with the rest of the warriors for treatment and checkups,” she says. Now that she’s changed out of her armour, I can see the great many wounds stretching across her skin–she’s in desperate need of medical attention. “If you’d join us, Prince Spencer?”

Spencer shakes his head. “I must report the status of

    Ivy's POVJust as I’m about to tell the queen what happened, Princess Sylvia suddenly runs down the hall towards us.I can see several bandages and stitched-up wounds across her skin, along with bruises, scraps, and minor cuts. She’s dressed in a simple, elegant slip–no doubt it would be too much strain to dress her in the usual elaborate royal attire. Her skin still looks unnaturally pale, and she’s moving with something of a limp.But Princess Sylvia is alive, and I’m grateful for that. “Wait!” She exclaims, doubling over and panting. She rests her hands on her knees. “I told you, Mother, you’ve got it wrong!”“Sylvia, be careful! Your injuries!” The Lycan Queen gasps, helping her stand up straight. There’s a motherly concern in her eyes as she looks her daughter over, but when her gaze returns to me, any warmth that was there quickly freezes away. Princess Sylvia waves her off. “Ivy didn’t do anything to hurt me. It was the rebels who have been trying to take down the Lycan Royal

    Ivy's POVI struggle and thrash as the warriors drag me to the dungeon, but they’re holding me so tightly I can feel them starting to bruise my skin. It’s no use. Even at full strength, I’m still weak and wolfless. I’ll never be able to fend for myself again. One warrior holds my wrists together tightly while the other unlocks one of the cells. The sound of iron bars dragging along the stone floor makes me cringe, a terrible sound that scrapes at the inside of my skull. The moment the cell door is opened, the warrior holding me pushes me inside roughly. “You can’t do this–” I protest angrily, but the warriors slam the cell doors shut and leave. I huff, grabbing the bars of the cell and rattling them in frustration. It’s not fair. I’m the Lycan Crown Prince’s mate–one would assume that would grant me at least an ounce of respect in this palace, but I’m still being hauled around like trash. “So you’re a traitor now, too?”I whirl around, surprised to see Alpha Leo leaning against t

    Spencer's POVI arrive at the Lycan King’s office ready to tell my father about everything that happened in battle. While the mission was supposed to be a quiet extraction, no doubt he knows by now that not everything went according to plan. We suffered great casualties on the battlefield thanks to Elder Jet and his horrible red potions, and ended up having to kill more rebels than we would have liked. Further, news of Alpha Jameson’s death at the hands of Gamma Everly will no doubt spread quickly, which doesn’t bode well. The fallout of this battle, much to my disappointment, hasn’t done much to help with the Lycan Royal Family’s image, and the last thing we need is to seem like an enemy to the werewolves. It wasn’t our fault, though. Up against the enemy we were facing, we used the strength we needed, and if anyone understands the nuances and complications of battle, it’ll be my father. “Spencer,” he greets me cooly as I open the door. He shuffles a stack of papers on his desk

    Spencer's POVJust as I’m leaving the Lycan King’s office, I bump into Sylvia around the corner.“Spencer!” She exclaims when she sees me, rushing forward and grabbing my arm. Her eyes are wide with concern, and she’s clearly worried about something. Although I’d heard from Ivy and the Lycan King that Sylvia has been injured–and the evidence of her attack is clearly visible on her skin–I’ve always been fairly indifferent towards my siblings. To me, they’re just other names on the family tree, other people who live in the palace. Nothing more, nothing less. I can’t even remember the last time I thought about my younger brother Colin. I’ve never disliked my siblings, but I can’t say I’ve cared for them, either. We usually avoid each other unless strictly necessary. So seeing Sylvia blocking my path like this is puzzling to me. What could she possibly want? For the first time, I take note of Sylvia’s pale, bruised face and her wide-open eyes. There seems to be a stress hovering aroun

The guards exchange nervous glances, stumbling back a step. “She is, yes,” the other guard mumbles. I stride past them confidently when I feel a hesitant tap on my shoulder. I turn around, staring daggers at the guard who tapped me. “I–I’m so sorry, Your Highness,” the guard stutters out, “But Miss Ivy was imprisoned under the Lycan Queen’s orders…” I stare silently at the guard as he continues to speak, until finally the words die in his throat. He averts his gaze and steps backward, clearly shaking in his boots. My gaze flicks from guard to guard wordlessly, daring either of them to try and stop me again. But ne

Sylvia is hovering a couple steps behind Spencer, shrinking back against the wall. For some reason, the moment she sees me, her eyes widen in horror and fear. “Spencer!” I call out excitedly, beaming at the sight of him. When I lock eyes with him, though, I realize there isn’t a trace of love in his eyes–all I can see is pure anger. My heart plummets.His gaze, sharp as an arrow, is locked onto me and Alpha Leo. I quickly realize that, with the way I’m standing next to Alpha Leo, along with the angle Spencer is standing at, from his perspective it must look like I’m pressed up against Alpha Leo’s chest.And his shirt is barely more than threads. At this point, he’s almost entirely shirtless. A chill sweeps over me as I take in the wa

From my position slung over Spencer’s shoulder, the world is mostly upside-down and blurry, but I’m still able to make out the familiar frame of Spencer’s door. He twists it open without a second thought and is just about to head in when Princess Sylvia grabs his arm.“Wait!” She exclaims frantically. “Spencer, what are you going to do to Ivy?”“That’s none of your business,” Spencer replies coldly. “Leave now.” “But–”Spencer cuts her off quickly, turning to the guards. “Don’t let anyone in,” he commands sharply. My heart starts to race. Princess Sylvia’s question rattles around my brain–what is he going to do to me?What could he do to me? “Spencer, you can’t hurt her! She–”I can’t hear the end of Princess Sylvia’s sentence before Spencer slams the door shut. He walks over to the bed quickly and tosses me down onto the cushiony blanketsI land with a

I can feel the dungeon lingering on my skin–the feeling of dirt and grime, the smell of sweat and hopelessness. “I want to take a shower first.”Spencer frowns, but he doesn’t say no. Instead, he quickly sweeps his arms underneath me and lifts me from the bed. Wordlessly, he carries me to the bathroom. The feeling of being lifted up sends an instinctive jolt through my body, considering how angry he was when he carried me to his room mere minutes ago, but I try to convince myself everything is fine. I wrap my arms tightly around his neck, worried about falling. I can feel Spencer’s heart fluttering in his ribcage. His heartbeat is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. When we walk into the bathroom, I think for a moment that he’s going to set me down. But keeping his arm wrapped around my waist, he slips my dress off. I gasp as Spencer presses me against the cool

Much to my surprise, it’s not just Spencer that greets me in the doorway–it’s the entire Lycan Royal Family, as well as Delilah and Beta Wilson. My face flushes, and I feel oddly vulnerable in front of everyone. I want to roll my shirt back down and hold my hands over my stomach protectively, but I don’t want to mess up the gel. “What… what’s going on?” I ask hesitantly. “How is it?” The Lycan Queen asks the assistant in a sharp voice. “How’s the baby? Is it still okay?” “And how’s Ivy?” Spencer presses anxiously. He approaches my bedside and sits down next to me, taking my hand in both of his and squeezing gently. His gaze rests anxiously on the ultrasound machine to my left beside the assistant, though the screen isn’t displaying anything just yet. “Give me just one second, Your Highnesses

    Spencer’s POVYou’re the next Lycan King. As my mother’s words ricochet around the room, it’s hard not to feel like I’m taking someone else’s place. For so long, this was my father’s crown, and no one was prepared to lose him so soon. But as I look around the room, slowly, gradually, it begins to feel more and more right. Despite their usual snark and sarcasm, both Sylvia and Colin look gravely serious at this moment. They both look up at me with evident respect, and I know that despite the troubles I’ve had with my siblings in the past, they’re here to support my ascension to the Lycan throne. My mother, too, as she returns to her seat at the table, is looking up at me proudly. She smiles faintly as the crown continues to rest on my head and wipes her eyes. “I know you’re going to do great things, Spencer,” she says softly. “And I’m terribly sorry for the lack of ceremony today. I promise that once the date of your coronation does finally roll around, you’re going to get all the

    Spencer’s POVAs I watch a tall woman in a lab coat grab Ivy’s arm, an instinctive jolt of panic rushes through me. “What–what’s going on?” I ask, immediately scanning the surroundings for any indicator that Elder Jet’s forces may have somehow made their way back into the palace. “Who is that?” “One of Doctor Danbury’s assistants,” my mother assures me quickly. “After everything Ivy’s been through, we need to ensure that your heir is still alive and well within her. We should really discuss what’s going to happen once she begins to show, and how we can cover up for how Ivy is carrying your child despite your impending marriage to Delilah.” I purse my lips and look towards Colin at the mention of my previous engagement to Delilah. Does she not know about you two? I want to ask him. He seems to read the question etched across my features, because he shakes his head almost imperceptibly. I suppose I can understand Colin’s reluctance to tell our mother about the change in nuptials–af

    Ivy’s POVAs Spencer kisses me, it feels like everything wrong in the universe has finally righted itself. He kisses me softly, sweetly, like he knows we can finally linger in these gentle moments without having to worry about whatever is coming next. Spencer’s hands are chaste, one resting on my waist as the other tangles into my hair. I wrap my arms around his shoulders and return the kiss passionately until my lungs start to scream for air. Spencer is the one who finally pulls away. I look up at him, eyes fluttering open and slightly dazed as his hand moves from the nape of my neck to my cheek. He caresses my face lovingly, gazing deep into my eyes with an expression of profound concern. “Are you going to be okay, Ivy?” He asks softly. “After everything that happened…” “I’ll be fine,” I assure him quickly, smiling gently at him. “I’m healed now, thanks to the Moon Goddess. I feel healthy. The worst of it is all behind us.” “Our child…” Spencer begins tentatively. “I feel good

    Spencer’s POVThe crowd of rebels erupts into shock and disgust, and for just a few moments, another wave of chaos ripples over the now-still battleground. “I’d never speak to that traitor!” “I’d sooner die than let some betrayer try to make me anything like him.” “They’re trying to brainwash us!” I let the complaints ring out for just a few seconds more before opening my mouth to speak. “ENOUGH!” I roar, bold shout crackling over the amassed crowd like thunder. I clench my hands into fists as I look over all of them. “This is what you’re getting,” I say. “I’ve told you all you need to know. Warriors, take them to the dungeons.” The warriors all nod once before finally escorting the captured rebels off the battlefield. I breathe out a steady sigh of relief as I watch them depart, finally letting myself relax somewhat as finally the threat is ushered away. Ivy comes up beside me and squeezes my shoulder. “You said all the rebels would get the chance to speak with Alpha Leo?” She

The rebels may shout or growl or spit as they’re escorted out of the barracks and towards the dungeon, where they’ll all be held until we have more time to thoroughly think out what our next moves should be, but it’s better than the noises that had filled the air before. The screams of agony and death and anguish will rattle through my brain for as long as I live. Every time I close my eyes, the sights that greet me are terrible. Fur being pulled from bleeding skin. The unearthly contortion of bones crunching and snapping. Those red potions and the horrific effects they’d had on the rebel werewolves’ bodies, all those grotesque enhancements. What’s happened here today will stay with me for the rest of my life. I’ve been changed by all I’ve had to bear witness to, all I’ve had to experience. The knowledge of what it fel

    Ivy’s POVAs Spencer’s words ripple through the ground of battle-hardened rebels and warriors, at first, all I can hear is the deafening sound of silence. I look around, watching with bated breath. I understand the weight of what we’re trying to do here–after all, for the Lycan Royal Family to suggest surrender, especially after such a horrific bloodbath, is a truly unprecedented thing to occur. I can see that it’s still taking everyone a couple moments more to process what has just transpired. But above all else, I believe in the inherent goodness of people. One way or another, kindness will win. It has to. When the first werewolf steps forward, head lowered and arms folded behind his back in a clear display of acquiescence, I can hardly stop myself from beaming. “I surrender,” the werewolf announces softly. The words echo through the battlefield, a whisper somehow amplified over and over again by all the history in the making of this one moment. With a flick of his wrist, Spenc

    Spencer’s POVThis time, as I walk out onto the almost-still battlefield, I can feel the full force of my power returning to me. Heads swivel in my direction as I approach the center of the battleground. My Lycan aura crackles around me, a silhouette of pure power that follows behind me everywhere I step. Thanks to the Moon Goddess’s blessing as well as Ivy’s rejuvenation, I feel good again. Strong. I know I could control everyone on this field right now if I wanted to, but I don’t need to. Not yet. Right now, the gentle coercion of my Lycan aura around me is all I need. Ivy follows behind me. I can tell by the rhythm of her gait that she’s anxious to get out of here as soon as possible. I can’t see her, but I know her well enough by now that I can guess her gaze is darting around anxiously, eyeing every enemy in sight. But the longer I walk, the more confidence in my step, the more the sounds of battle start to quiet. Soon enough, the only sound to be heard is the soft pad of my f

    Ivy’s POVWhile the scattered sounds of combat continue to fill the air, by and large, it seems that the battle has begun to come to a close. The last werewolf rebels are continuing to attack every Lycan warrior they see, but our enemy’s numbers have been considerably thinned. Now, the rebels are few and far between, sticking out like sore thumbs as they attempt to take down our ranks. It’s clear that we could still lose quite a few more lives at this point, but it would be meaningless. The battle has been won. It’s over. Anything else that happens now is just tying up the loose ends. “What happens now?” I ask Spencer softly, taking a look around. Wilson is still on the ground, writhing in agony as the silver spray continues to worm its way into his skin. My heart twinges with sympathy for him, but there’s nothing Spencer or I could do to alleviate the pain. Nearby, I can see Gamma Everly kneeling over Alpha Leo’s unconscious–hopefully unconscious, that is–body. Everywhere I look
