Ivy's POV

Before I get the chance to pull away, Spencer scoops me up into his arms and starts to carry me away from the training grounds.

Fear and panic rush through me. I can hear my heartbeat, a frantic drum. I’ve never been this scared of Spencer before.

Who is this man?

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” I scream at Spencer as he carries me away. I flail my hands against his firm chest, but it’s no use. He holds me tight. “These are my training hours, Spencer, you can’t just–”

“I can do whatever I please,” Spencer growls lowly, eyes still ablaze with that wretched anger.

“Spencer, put her down!” Sylvia exclaims, rushing towards us. Gamma Everly follows a couple paces behind her. “She doesn’t want to be carried away!”

“Prince Spencer, we still have a bit more training to do–” Gamma Everly adds.

Without so much as a word of response, Spencer unleashes his powerful Lycan Aura. Gamma Everly and Sylvia fall to the ground at once, unable to even raise their heads.

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 175: A Better Lycan

    Ivy's POVSpencer pulls his hand away at once. When he looks at me, for once, there’s genuine hurt in his eyes–or concern, at least. Doubt. Hesitation. Some indicator that all isn’t well, that we have things we need to talk about. I’ve got his attention, at least. “How could you ask me that, Ivy?” Spencer asks, shaking his head at me. He’s clearly upset. “Without a doubt, I love you. I’ve been good enough to you already–I’ve changed so much for you, in ways you could never understand. Before I met you, before I had you as my mate, I never used to care about being kind to anyone. I didn’t care what people thought of me. I never would have brought a child back from the battlefield. Of course I love you. How can you not see that?”I shake my head in frustration. He’s still not seeing me. He still doesn’t understand what I’m trying to say. It almost feels pointless to try and argue with him, like I’m talking to a brick wall, but I can’t just give up on him completely, can I?“Spencer–”

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 176: Can’t Let Go

    Ivy's POV“Spencer, let me the fuck go.” I’m almost surprised by the sound of my voice. I barely recognize it–I don’t usually sound so cold, so harsh, so gravely serious.But Spencer’s arms around my body feel like iron chains, and the heat of him is stifling. I hate his closeness right now. His touch. He doesn’t release me.I sink my fingernails into Spencer’s skin. “Spencer!” I say louder, writhing and squirming in his hold. I hate how comfortable he is restraining me without my permission. What makes him feel like he gets to be this entitled to my body all the time? “If I let you go, tell me you won’t leave,” Spencer says in a tone far too commanding for this situation. “You don’t control me,” I tell him. “But fine. I’ll hear you out for now.”Reluctantly, Spencer lets me go. I sit on the edge of the bed and stare at him as he looks away, seemingly in an effort to formulate his thoughts. “I don’t understand why you’re willing to argue with me so fiercely over Colin,” Spencer

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 177: Heartbreak

    Spencer's POVWatching Ivy walk away, I suddenly feel myself struck by the full force of one of the most painful moments of my life. I stare at the sheets where she’d once laid. My hands burn where I touched her–I should have stopped, I know I should have stopped. But I couldn’t bear to let her go. And now she’s gone. Will she come back? She has to, doesn’t she? I can feel the mate bond pulling between us like a string, linking us together eternally. She’s always in the back of my mind, impossible to ignore. Ivy and I share more than just a mate bond. We share a Blood Oath. We share a life. We even share a child, now. Love like ours doesn’t just vanish in a day–it’s stronger than that, and no external force could ever break it apart. Right? I grit my teeth, bunching the sheets together in my fist. Colin. It’s all because of Colin. This is what he does–he’s always wanted to take away the people around me, the people I care about. He’s always wanted to turn them against me, ever s

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 178: The Marriage Scheme

    Spencer's POVI think you should marry me.At her words, my brow furrows immediately. Delilah is a sweet young girl, and it’s obvious that she’s got a bit of a crush. But Ivy is my mate, and Ivy is my friend. The idea of marrying Delilah seems wrong. “Delilah, I’m sorry, but I really can’t–” I begin. Delilah cuts me off quickly. “Moon Goddess, no! I’m sorry. Let me explain,” she begins. “I don’t actually want to marry you. This would all be for Ivy’s sake.” I raise an eyebrow. “Is that so?” I ask, not entirely convinced. “I’m not after the Luna position,” Delilah replies. “I just want to keep Ivy safe. I know it’s strange, but please just trust me. No one would treat their own marriage lightly, but I’m willing to do this for her. I mean–think about it! Your mother isn’t the fondest of Ivy, but she likes me so much she brought me across the continent just so I could meet you. So that would resolve all your problems with her. Plus, if we got married, all your enemies would think Ivy

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 179: Engagement

    Spencer's POVAs Delilah and I walk out of my suite, I suddenly see Ivy heading to the dining hall with Jason. Ivy seems like she’s cleaned herself up since we last spoke–she’s out of her training clothes, and small bandages have been applied to her myriad cuts and scrapes. Now she’s dressed in a purple gown that glitters and gleams. Her hair is pulled back, soft auburn curls bouncing with every step, and she’s wearing just a bit of makeup–enough to enhance her beautiful features without covering anything up. Ivy is holding Jason’s hand as she leads him down the halls, and they look like the perfect mother-child pair. They don’t seem like they need me at all. As I watch them go, I want nothing more than to pull Ivy aside and talk over the day’s events with her. There’s so much I want to say. But I keep thinking about the look in her eyes when she left. The disappointment there, the anger, the fear. Would she ever want to speak with me again? I swallow my feelings as I walk away s

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 180: Wedding Plans

    Spencer's POV“Does holding the wedding in a week work for you?” I look up at my mother in surprise. “Wait, did you hear me–”“I don’t care if your wedding is real or not,” the queen replies. “Goodness, Spencer. No royal weddings ever are. We don’t marry for love, we marry for duty. You think your father hasn’t taken lovers over the course of our marriage? Or even myself? You don’t have to commit to Delilah in every sense of the word, just enough for our agenda to be fulfilled.” I stare up at my mother in shock. Is this what royal weddings are supposed to be? The broken promises? The lies?If Ivy and I ever get married–and I really hope we get the chance to–our wedding won’t be like that. Our marriage won’t either. We’ll build something strong and true, able to withstand the stress and wear of time. I’d build us such a good life together, if only we get the chance. I need our enemies to be gone. I need Ivy to be safe. I need everything to be the way it should be. “So,” my mother

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 181: Prince Jason

    Ivy's POVAs Jason and I sit down for dinner, I decide that this is going to be my chance to get to know my son. After all, everything has been so hectic lately–from bringing him to the palace to the ordeal he went through at the hands of the palace staff, and then his recovery time in the hospital. And after that, I’ve only really been able to spend time with him in a group. We haven’t had the chance to chat one-on-one yet. “Do you like mutton pie?” I ask Jason as we sit down in the dining hall. “I heard that’s what the kitchen staff are serving today.”“I’ve never had it before,” Jason replies, picking at a napkin. “Can I have French fries?”I chuckle lightly. “Oh, I’m sure we can get you some French fries.”We fall into a momentary silence. I’m briefly lost in thought, still rattled by my altercation with Spencer. The feeling of his hands on my body even as I told him to stop is a bitter thing to remember. But I shake the thoughts away quickly, refocusing on Jason and smiling.

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 182: Wedding Rumors

    Ivy's POVI do my best to explain my situation with Spencer to Jason. It’s a surprisingly quick conversation–after all, Spencer and I are mates, and his royal status does make things complicated. So just saying Spencer and I have some technicalities to work out is close enough to the truth. Jason and I finish our meals quickly, exchanging stories from our early childhoods. By the end of the dinner, our faces both hurt from smiling. I look at Jason proudly, happy with the time I’ve been able to spend with my son. “Did you end up liking the mutton pie after all?” I ask, standing up and leaving the table. “It was yummy,” Jason replies, grinning. “But French fries are still better.”I laugh. “I’m sure. Can I walk you back to your room?”“That’d be good,” Jason says quietly. I look down to see that he’s already reached his hand out to me in a clear invitation to hold it. My heart warms a little at the sight. I’m not alone in this palace. No matter how things go with Spencer, Jason and

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 430: The Coronation

    Ivy’s POV“Are you ready?” I whisper the question to Spencer as we stand behind a huge set of double doors. I’ve known him as the Lycan King for several weeks now, and been referred to as the Lycan Queen since our wedding, but today is the day it becomes official. Today is the day of the coronation. And I couldn’t be more excited. Every citizen of the Lycan Kingdom physically able to be in attendance is seated just beyond those double doors, dressed in their finest attire. I can hear the waning sounds of the band playing our anthem triumphantly, can hear the heavy steel-toed footfalls of our military as they carry out their grand display. It’s a show of strength and endurance–everything about today has been structured to portray power and confidence, from the massive outdoor ceremony in the palace’s courtyard to the full military regalia on display. “Ready as ever,” Spencer replies. “This is what I was born to, after all.” There’s a firm set to his jaw and iron in his posture. E

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 429: Recovered

    Spencer’s POV“Congratulations, Colin!” My mother is the first one to acknowledge the news, smiling gleefully as she looks towards her son and his fiancée. Now that their secret is out, Delilah is positively beaming as she slips the engagement ring out of her pocket and onto her finger, waving her hand back and forth. I chuckle lowly as the happy couple kisses tenderly. I just know they’re going to have the most unnecessarily extravagant wedding possible, and they’re going to adore every second of it. “I’m telling you, they’re only together because Delilah and I were engaged,” I murmur to Ivy out of the corner of my mouth. She rolls her eyes, but she’s grinning. “If you say so, Spencer.” “Must be something in the air,” Sylvia remarks. “I heard Gamma Everly and Captain Leo got engaged, too!” At that news, I smile genuinely. After all the heartbreak she’s endured over the years, I’m glad Gamma Everly has finally found a man who can match her. It seems that my wedding to Ivy was on

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 428: Together At Last

    Spencer’s POVIt’s been a couple days since I returned from the Sunclash pack and Ivy began recovering from the plague, and things have finally had a chance to settle into a routine. Beta Wilson and Doctor Danbury have been working restlessly to distribute the antidote to those in need far and wide. We’ve eradicated it completely from the Lycan kingdom and have almost finished scrubbing it from the outer packs. All of Elder Jet’s rebels have been placed in our custody, with trials pending. Based on the reports from other packs as well as the newly-formed Werewolf Council, it seems as though Elder Jet’s toxic ideology has been defeated for good. We still have lots to do to repair our relationship with the werewolves, of course, but we’re in a good place to begin that work. And as soon as Ivy returns to her full strength, I’m excited for us to begin that work together. I set down the last stack of papers on my desk and push open the door to my office, wandering back into the main bo

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 427: Family

    Ivy’s POV“What is it?” Those are the last words I hear, spoken in Spencer’s soothing, familiar voice, before I slip into an uneasy half-sleep. I can feel blankets being shifted and jostled around me, the vibrations from wheels being rolled across a bumpy floor. But my mind is distant, dreaming. I see fire. Magic. Blood. Frantic voices cry out, but there’s someone else, promising that I’m stable–just exhausted. My body is lifted up from the uncomfortable mattress and laid down somewhere much more soft and padded. There, finally, as the terrible burning recedes from my skin, I’m able to fall into a quiet, restful sleep. I’m not sure how much time passes before I finally come to. As my eyes plink open slowly, blearily, the first thing I see is Spencer sitting at the edge of my bed, eyes crinkling at the corners. “Good morning, Sleepyhead,” he says softly. I let out a quiet chuckle. “What time is it actually?” I groan, dragging a hand down my face. Suddenly I realize that everythin

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 426: The Antidote

    Spencer’s POVAs I push past the double doors and into the hospital’s foyer, I’m struck by the absolute chaos everywhere. There are patients being pushed and shuffled in every direction, and the entire hospital staff looks criminally overworked, worry lines and downcast expressions almost completely hidden behind thick airtight filters. I realize the yellow suits all the staff are wearing match the protective suits Doctor Danbury gave us when we were investigating the Sunclash pack. And if everyone is in plague equipment now…I can only hope we’ll have enough of the antidote to deal with all the infected. That’s an issue for later, though. Right now, my focus is solely on Ivy. “Where’s the queen?” I shout, looking around the foyer frantically. A nurse rushes over towards me hurriedly, gaze darting back and forth. “She–she’s in the quarantine wing, Your Majesty,” the nurse says. “Quite a few patients are, unfortunately. Before I can take you there, I’m going to have to ask you to

    Spencer’s POVAs soon as I pass the threshold of the Lycan Kingdom, I hear a frantic message from Captain Leo echoing in my mind. ‘–and they’re here!’ Comes the call, which has surely been repeating over and over again for ages now, if I’m hearing it as soon as I’m able. Captain Leo’s voice is frantic and desperate. ‘Please, Your Majesty, we have to get this under control. We need you here.’ I grit my teeth and keep my gaze peeled on the road ahead. We’re on our way to the palace now, to deliver the antidote to Ivy and whoever else may need it, but we’re still a matter of minutes away at least. ‘We’re in the kingdom now,’ I assure him. ‘Who’s here?’‘The rest of Elder Jet’s rebels, Your Majesty. It seems they were waiting for you to leave.’ I scowl in displeasure as I watch the scenery continue to blur around us. Of course that was the witch’s final plan, coward that she was. To poison my wife and lure me out to the middle of nowhere knowing how desperate I’d be to cure her… It’s

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 424: Impending Evil

    Ivy’s POVAs I lay in the quarantine room, I can feel the growing sickness continuing to spread through my body. Alongside all the typical postpartum symptoms, which would be horrendous enough on their own, the burning is horrible in its unrelentingness. The pain meds feel more like an empty consolation than anything else now. I’m more fatigued than I’ve ever felt before, but I can’t bring myself to fall asleep, because the agony simmering just beneath my skin is impossible to ignore. Am I being punished for something? ‘What am I going to do?’ I ask Venetia hopelessly. There’s no one else to talk to but her. ‘You’ll pull through,’ Venetia assures me, though I can hear the reluctance in her tone. ‘You heard the rumours–Spencer is out there right now, searching desperately for a cure! He loves you. He’s not going to let you die. You matter too much to him.’ I chuckle bitterly. ‘At a certain point, it doesn’t matter how much he doesn’t want me to die. I’ll die or I won’t.’ Venetia

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 423: Conquest

    Spencer’s POVAs my claws tear through the ice-cold flesh of the witch’s body, a bloodcurdling scream suddenly pierces the air. With a fierce cry, the witch tries to wrench herself from my grasp, but she only succeeds in dragging her body along my claws, worsening her own injuries. Blood splatters on the ground and onto my paws. It doesn’t feel like blood normally does, though–it’s cold like freshwater and feels oddly slick, almost oily. I pull my lips back over my teeth and growl viciously, searching for the witch’s neck in this darkness. “You beast!” The witch wails like a banshee. I can see her eyes glinting reflectively like a cat’s in the darkness. As we hit the ground, one of her antlers breaks and falls off. “Do you have any idea how powerful I am? You don’t have the faintest whisper of a chance against me, you brute–” I curl my claws inward, deepening the wounds further, and the witch lets out another ragged scream. Suddenly, the darkness in the room all seems to slither t

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 422: Faceoff

    Spencer’s POV“Run!” My warning to Alpha Fierro echoes through the darkened office seemingly unheard. As the shadows continue to creep around my field of vision, obscuring everything from view, my heart thuds in my chest. Never before had I been scared of an enemy until encountering the witch. I shift fluidly into my wolf form, powerful arms and legs rippling with muscles, fangs and teeth sharp as daggers. My growl is a low, warning rumble in the base of my throat. Despite my heightened sentences as I continue to peer ahead, ears trained to detect the slightest sense of movement, I still have no idea where the witch is. “Reveal yourself, coward!” I shout, my voice echoing through the room. “You betray your honour by slinking around in the shadows.” The witch’s laugh, low and melodious, fills the air. There’s a haunting coldness to it. “Honour is a werewolf construct,” she says. “And it’s so unlike a proud, foolish warrior to consider it a cowardly action to win a battle with intel
