Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen Chapter 252: A Necessary Engagement
Spencer's POVIvy’s words ring through my head, chilling me to the bone. “I don’t want to put a child through you.” What’s that supposed to mean? That oh, I’d be such a terrible person to raise a child with? That I’m not fit to be a parent? That I’d damage the child just by trying to be in their life? Absolutely absurd. But as Ivy looks deep into my eyes, I realize that her words aren’t motivated by any sort of anger over what;s happened between us. No–she looks scared, and sad, and completely, utterly alone. She looks like she doesn’t know who she can rely on to support her with this. And I can’t even say that I blame her for feeling this way. She’s right. I am engaged to Delilah. I haven’t been making Ivy feel like a priority in all the ways she deserves. I have no idea what kind of father I’d be. It makes sense that Ivy would want to keep me at arm’s length, and as I gaze into her eyes, I can tell that she’s close to snapping. I think any attempts made to argue with her now w

Ivy's POVAs I watch Spencer leave my room, I can feel my heart plummeting into my stomach. I glance over at Sylvia, Wilson, and Dr. Danbury reluctantly, shame burning my cheeks. “I’m sorry you had to see that, guys,” I say awkwardly. “I just. Um. This whole situation has been..” I trail off, not quite sure how to finish the sentence. How could I even explain the depths of what I’m feeling right now? I want to raise a child with Spencer, but not when we’re like this. I hate him. I love him. I don’t know what our future is going to look like, and that terrifies me. The mere thought of him makes me feel sick to my stomach, but whenever I’m apart from him I can feel the stress eating me alive. Really, there’s no good option for me. Wilson clears his throat. “I need to check on some… military stuff,” he says abruptly, standing up and heaving towards the door. He shoots a pointed look towards Sylvia. “Let me know if you need anything?” “I can also give the two of you some space,” Dr.

Ivy's POVJust as I can feel the tears starting to stream down my face, I feel a pair of warm, reassuring arms wrap around me. I gasp as Sylvia embraces me tightly. Her fingers run along my back gently, a sweet, soothing motion. Slowly, gradually I can feel myself begin to relax. My heart rate steadies. My breathing slows. Little by little, the tears abate. “Thank you,” I sniffle, looking up at her. “I really–I really needed that.” “Of course.” Sylvia pulls away, but her hands continue to rest on my shoulders. “Honestly, Ivy, I can’t say whether or not Spencer will be in this baby’s life. I don’t know how involved he wants to be. I can’t pretend I know what your future will look like. But no matter what happens with him, you have me. You know that, don’t you?” “I–I do,” I reply with a weak smile. “Yeah. Thank you so much, for everything.” “You were there for everything with me and Wilson,” Sylvia replies. “Despite all of your own problems. Despite all the horrible, horrible thing

Spencer's POVIt’s been a day since I got the news about Ivy’s pregnancy announcement, and I still have no idea what I’m supposed to do. I’m deathly tired–I wasn’t able to sleep last night, thanks to the endless cacophony of thoughts rattling around my brain. Who is Ivy to deny me access to my mate, to the child she carries? Failing to raise that child would be a true failure as a man, and I can’t even stomach the thought. A child is supposed to be my legacy. The mark I leave on this world. A reminder of the goodness, the purity, of life itself. If Ivy truly doesn’t want me around, I have no idea how I’m supposed to respond. She’ll have access to everything she could ever want or need, of course. Doctor’s appointments, maternity clothes, whatever foods her pregnancy cravings leave her wanting. And I’m already having facilities drawn up for the child, including a nursery right beside Ivy’s bedroom. I’m doing what I can without directly getting involved, but I want to get involved.

Spencer's POVColin just went into Delilah’s room, and judging by the look on his face, it can’t be for any good reason. I stare at the closed door intently, trying to replay what I just saw. I didn’t actually catch a view of whether or not anyone answered the door–I can’t be sure as to whether Delilah opened the door to let Colin in, or whether he simply broke in on his own. I don’t know which option is worse. I cast a quick glance around the halls, scouting out the surroundings as I plan my next move. Colin and Delilah–whatever they’re up to, this is most definitely an unexpected development. I don’t like the idea of them spending time together. While I’m not the most fond of Delilah, I have unfortunately had to let her get to know me. And she’s close to all the Lycan Royal Family’s secrets now, being my bride-to-be. Hell, she’s in on plans that not even Colin is aware of. And Colin hates them. The idea of an alliance between the two poses an additional threat to me within the

Spencer's POV“Miss Delilah–” Suddenly, Colin’s voice becomes whiny, plaintive. The voice of a spoiled child who didn’t get what he wanted. I can’t help but chuckle–Colin wanted to rile Delilah up, to rattle her, but it didn’t work. I may not know how Delilah feels about any of this, but I do know that she’s smart enough not to be fooled by such obvious schemes. Colin thinks I love Delilah now, so he’s trying to drive a wedge in our relationship. Exactly as I saw coming. It’s almost pathetic how predictable he is. But even still–to try and drive a wedge in my future marriage like this? Delilah and I aren’t in love, but if we were, this attempt of his would cause so much pain. And that pain is exactly what he wants. I’d say this is a new low for Colin, but I think he’s always been this desperate to drag me down. My being engaged has just given him yet another avenue to try and ruin my life. “Go, please,” Delilah says primly. “I’m so sorry if I’ve offended you in any way,” Colin

Spencer's POVThe moment I make it to the dungeon, chest heaving and breath rapid, I’m greeted by complete and utter disarray. Guards rush around in, sprinting in every possible direction without so much as bothering to greet me. I’m jostled incessantly as I do my best to make my way to the heart of the dungeon. The stone floors clatter beneath my heavy-soled boots, and I can hear chains rattling on the walls. The unrelenting crush of bodies means it takes me a few moments to notice that a dangerous amount of the cells in the dungeon are completely empty. I narrow my eyes, grabbing a random guard by the collar and pulling him towards me. “What in Hell’s name is happening here?” I growl, looking deep into his eyes. The guard starts trembling. “It–it’s the prisoners!” He cries out, shaking himself out of my grasp. “I’m so sorry, but the prisoners… they’ve all gotten out somehow. We’re doing everything in our power to retrieve them now.” Before I can respond, the guard runs off, chas

Ivy's POVAs the guards retrieve me from my room harshly and begin to drag me down the hallway roughly, I can feel the familiar set of anxieties starting to creep in. Have I done something to upset some member of the Lycan Royal Family? They seem to quite enjoy having me dragged out of my room and into dreadfully uncomfortable scenarios. I do my best to shrug the guards off of me, but their hands are thick and sturdy and I can’t quite shake their grasp. “Where are you taking me?” I cry out. “Do the dungeon,” one of the guards replies. My stomach twists. I remember my last dreadful trip to the dungeon. “No, please!” I shriek. “Whatever you think I’m done, I’m sure it’s all just been some sort of misunderstanding–” The other guard snickers. “We’re not arresting you, girlie,” he says. “We’re having you brought in so you can consult on a very fresh investigation.” “Oh,” I frown. “Then let go of me, you thugs!” The guards both laugh as they let go of my wrists. I glower up at both o

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
Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen Chapter 425: The Final Push
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
