Chapter 256: A Strange Proposition

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-11 22:15:03

Spencer's POV

Colin 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.

    Ivy's POVAs I stare Spencer down in the grimy halls of the dungeon, I can’t help but marvel at his audacity. After everything he’s put me through, he really has me–having just recovered from passing out, as well as presently carrying his child–dragged into a dungeon crawling with prisoners just to ask me to integrate my own son. Well, Jason was supposed to be our son, but Spencer really dropped the ball on that, too. “Why don’t you talk to Jason?” I bite out. “Aren’t you the big scary military man? Scaring a child into a false confession seems way up your alley than mine.”“You’re so confident it would be a false confession,” Spencer remarks coldly. “I’m not asking you to torture the boy. Just speak to him, and find out if he’s a part of this or not.” “But he’s not a part of this!” I insist. “He’s just a child–how could he be involved with a whole prison break?” “He nearly killed you,” Spencer points out. I roll my eyes. “Under the guidance of a master manipulator, Jason slippe

    Ivy's POV“It’s because you’re not fit for a life of royal decisions.” The words hit me like a dagger to the heart–brutally accurate, and with a cold sort of killing power. It’s enough to send chills rippling across my skin. I stumble away from Spencer, tears already starting to form in the corners of my eyes. I feel like my heart is fragmenting into razor-sharp shards that are shredding me up from the inside out. Not fit for a life of royal decisions? What does he mean by that? The realization hits me all at once, and I have to swallow back a sob. I place my hands over my stomach protectively, where my unborn child currently resides. I think Spencer is telling me that I’d be a terrible member of the Lycan Royal Family. That I’d be a terrible wife, a terrible queen, a terrible mother to this poor innocent child–I don’t think Spencer ever intended to marry me. I don’t think he ever intended to build a life with me. All of this, the mate bond and the Blood Oath Ceremony and all t

    Ivy's POVI never thought I’d see Gamma Everly waver in battle, and yet as she and Alpha Leo continue to fight, I can’t help but notice a strange frailty to her. With a rough growl, Gamma Everly slashes out, sending her claws soaring in a wide arc. But with a snarl, teeth snapping relentlessly, Alpha Leo manages to dodge. He twists around just in time to avoid the blow and, with a quick arc of his own claws, draws a series of long, thin cuts all along the length of Gamma Everly’s shoulder. Gamma Everly roars in agony, taking just a moment to recenter herself before throwing her body at Alpha Leo. The two of them slam roughly against the wall with a sound that makes me wince. I can’t help but notice a strange hesitation in Gamma Everly’s gaze–almost a hesitation to hurt Alpha Leo in combat, despite the fact that he’s an enemy of the Lycan Royal Family, and is currently trying to break out of prison. Is it because of Alpha Jameson, and what happened with him? Gamma Everly was there

    Ivy's POV“Gamma Everly!” The words tear from my throat, desperate and ragged with fear at the possibility of seeing my beloved friend and mentor killed in such a sudden, violent way. As my voice betrays my presence, Alpha Leo’s attention swivels my way, and I can see his eyes narrow as he looks at me with recognition. “Ivy,” he says simply, keeping his claws poised at Gamma Everly’s throat. “Take your hands off of her,” I growl. That same undecipherable emotion flashes through Alpha Leo’s eyes. The bitterness, the disappointment, the reluctance. “Just let me go in peace, and we can end this right now! Otherwise she dies.” I shake my head, Captain McAndrews’ words echoing in my mind. “Prison break. In no small part thanks to you, might I add.” I’m the reason Alpha Leo is alive to break out of the dungeon. Everything that’s happened since–any prisoners who have died, any guards–those deaths are on my hands. I’m responsible for enough disasters as it is. I can’t also be the reaso

  • Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen   Chapter 264: Secret Prisoner

    Ivy's POVAs Alpha Leo thrashes against my hold but fails to break free, I bask in the sweet glory of my victory. Sure, he was already considerably injured from his fight with Gamma Everly, and I’m sure he’s been exhausted by his escape, too. But even still, this win feels good. It feels powerful. I was the one who captured him–not a guard or warrior, not Gamma Everly, not even Spencer. Me. I did it. I howl triumphantly, raising my muzzle to the sky and letting out a victorious howl. My paw presses even deeper into Alpha Leo’s wound, and I can feel the blood oozing out. While my hold is strong and Alpha Leo is steadily losing blood, I’m not entirely sure how long I can maintain this. So as Alpha Leo continues to struggle, I mind link several warriors at random. ‘Come to the southwest tunnel leading from the heart of the dungeon,’ I instruct vaguely. ‘Bring handcuffs and rope.’ ‘Yes, Miss Ivy,’ they mind link in response. I could have mind linked Spencer, too, but I don’t want

    Spencer’s POV“Alpha Fierro, I need you to focus up.” The words are harsh as they leave my mouth, but I’m not trying to be malicious, although it’s true that things desperately need to get moving. The longer I spend in the Sunclash pack, the more on edge I feel. Every wall in sight feels like it’s closing in on me, and I can feel the sickness permeating the air. There’s a heaviness to this place now, an endless sense of dread. I have a feeling that this ground will carry the weight of all its deaths for a long, long time. “Scour the office for anything that seems out of place,” I say. “If your Beta was in charge of the pack in your absence, it’s likely that he was the one putting any preventative measures into place. He may have tried to find a cure–hopefully there are signs somewhere around here.” I look down at the man’s corpse, the papers clutched in his fist and the expression of profound horror on his face. “I read his reports. He seems to have been a confident, driven man. I’

    Spencer’s POV‘I think a considerable number of people managed to leave, contaminated or not.’ The longer Beta Wilson’s words echo through my mind, the more I begin to realize the scale of the potential disaster we might have on our hands. Where would any contaminated werewolves go? To the surrounding packs, most likely, and from there, the plague could spread from pack to pack to pack endlessly, ultimately becoming a worldwide pandemic…I whirl around to look at Alpha Fierro. “What was your relationship with other packs like?” I ask him urgently. “If any of your pack members were to turn up there looking for help, would they receive it?” “Probably, yeah,” Alpha Fierro says. “We tended to keep things as peaceful as possible. Unless there was very clearly something wrong going on, no one would have any reason to turn any of our members away.” I curse silently under my breath. “Keep heading towards the pack house,” I tell Alpha Fierro, already starting to walk away from him and back

    Spencer’s POVMost of my skin has already been covered by my day clothes, but in the few places I’m not, I can feel the hazmat suit’s crinkly plastic resting against me uncomfortably. I shudder as the plastic continues to shift. It clings uncomfortably to my skin and is far from stealthy, causing a loud rumpling sound to ring out with every step. I’d hoped that we could carry out this surveillance with at least the slightest bit of stealth and decorum, but as the entire haphazard team of us begins to make our way into the Sunclash pack, it becomes more and more evident that that’s just not going to happen. Through the suit’s bulbous plastic dome, I make eye contact with Doctor Danbury, clearly far from amused. She purses her lips, and I can see my own frustration mirrored on her face as we continue to lug equipment around. “I know,” she says, coming up to walk beside me. “Believe me, I hate the suits too. Easily one of my least favourite parts of this job. But whatever wiped this p

    Spencer’s POVAs we all sit in the back of a sleek, high-speed limo, I can’t help but feel thick tendrils of dread curling throughout my stomach. Every second I spend away from Ivy feels like I could be missing her final moments, and the fear over what could happen to her is making me sick. “The hazmat suits will be uncomfortable,” Doctor Danbury warns, holding up a hideous yellow baggy bodysuit. The plastic crinkles under her touch. “And the tanks on the back are going to poke weirdly. It’s no fun to wear, I know. But we still don’t quite know the extent of the toxicity of the environment we’re about to enter, so right now, safety is of the utmost importance. It’s possible that we’ll be able to take the suits off once I’ve run a couple tests and deemed the area safe, but I have no idea yet.” “Whatever it is, it seems to be highly contagious,” Alpha Fierro says somberly. Doctor Danbury nods. “The last thing we want to do is bring an uncontained plague back to the Lycan Kingdom, so

    Spencer’s POVJust as Beta Wilson and Alpha Fierro make their way out of my office, I see Alpha Leo slip through the doorway. He looks much better than he did the last time I saw him–there are still the occasional cuts and bruises marring his skin, a couple ridged scars in the process of forming, but Alpha Leo seems to be walking without much pain. His posture is straight and his gaze is keen. He looks at me tentatively as he approaches my desk, and I can tell he’s just the slightest bit on edge. “Your Highness,” he says uncertainly. “Alpha Leo,” I reply. “Um, what can I do for you?” Alpha Leo asks nervously. I shuffle a stack of papers on the desk together. “As I’m sure you know, we’ve suffered considerable gaps in our staff,” I begin. “Specifically in our military and guard positions. One of the most notable absences is Captain McAndrews, as I’m sure you remember quite well.” Alpha Leo blanches. “Right,” he mutters. “The work you did during Elder Jet’s invasion was exceptiona

    Spencer’s POV“The Lycan Kingdom will come to your aid at once.” Clearly, the ease with which I offer my support comes as something of a shock to Alpha Fierro. His eyes widen, and his face breaks into an expression of gratitude. His posture already seems straighter, like a great weight has been lifted from his shoulders. “Really?” Alpha Fierro breathes out. “Thank you, Your Majesty. Truly, I’d nearly given up hope on receiving any sort of aid at all–I’d almost started believing the rumours…” My eyes narrow. “The rumours?” I repeat coldly.” Alpha Fierro blanches. “Well, I–of course, I never really believed them. But I’m sure it hasn’t escaped your vast reach of influence that some werewolves have been saying things about the Lycan Royal Family that have been rather… out of line. Ever since Elder Jet and his rebellion, things have been different. But I–that’s not important! What I’m trying to say to you right now is thank you, Your Majesty. From the bottom of my heart.” I remain si

    Spencer’s POV“Tell me everything you know about this plague.” The command is sharp and electric, crackling with urgency. At Alpha Fierro’s mention of this strange plague taking lives–not to mention its unfortunate coinciding with the Blood Moon–I can’t help but feel nauseous thinking about what could happen to Ivy. There’s been no confirmation that she’s sick with any sort of plague, of course, and there haven’t been any reported cases of illness from those who have come into contact with her so far. But all of that could change at any given moment, and when it comes to Ivy’s life–or the lives of anyone in my kingdom, for that matter–I have no intention of taking it lightly. Alpha Fierro hesitates for a moment. “I’ve been having my Beta send me reports tracking the symptoms he’s seen from some of the infected pack members we’ve got under observation,” he says. “But my Beta is–well.” He stops speaking abruptly, gaze momentarily taken over by sadness. “He’s deteriorating rapidly, to

    Spencer’s POVAs I tear my way through the hospital and back towards the place, a million thoughts are racing through my mind. “Where’s he been staying since I turned him away?” I ask Beta Wilson, moving as quickly as I can. The day of my wedding, he’d somehow managed to fistfight his way past all my staff and slip past the wedding chaos to my penthouse. He’d knocked on my door like a madman before pleading with me to take his meeting–the only reason I even did was because I hold a fair amount of respect for the Sunclash pack. But the man had been blabbering on and on about some sort of curse rained down from hell that had overtaken his punishment, and he’d seemed all but mad, and I’d had a million other things on my mind since. “He’s been staying in a hotel within the kingdom for the past week,” Beta Wilson replies. “I’ve done my best to reach out to him over the past couple days, but he’s remained adamant that he only wanted to speak with you. At first I thought it best not to le

    Spencer’s POV“No matter what happens to me, swear you’ll always take care of Tala.” Something in the solemnity of Ivy’s words jolts me right back to reality. Immediately, I realize just how unstable I’m acting–threatening the very doctors and nurses who are trying to save Ivy couldn’t be a more impractical use of my time, and it’s certainly not the kind of support Ivy needs right now. What’s happening to her would be terrifying enough even without all the uncertainty–my own overreaction certainly isn’t something she needs to be worrying about right now. Above all else, she needs to know I’m there for her. “Oh, Ivy, of course I’ll always take care of Tala,” I tell her gently. “You don’t need to worry about that at all. She’s my daughter, and I love her. I swear I’ll do everything in my power to make sure she never has a care in the world. Jason, too–I want him to be my son as well.
