Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen Chapter 305: To The Dungeon
Spencer's POV“You can’t stop me!” I want the words to sound menacing as I glare my mother down, but no matter my intentions, I find myself sounding far more plaintive than I’d like to. Still, I set my jaw and continue to meet my mother’s gaze, narrowing my eyes at her. “I’ll kill him,” I growl at her. “One way or another, I’ll kill him. Whatever you’re trying to do right now, it won’t last. I’ll get to him eventually.” My words feel like they’re losing their weight, though, as the guards behind me continue to bring Colin to the dungeon. Colin catches my eye, and his expression isn’t one of smugness or gloating–he looks relieved by his escape from certain death. I scowl bitterly. He’s going to be down there now, locked in the very cells where just earlier today we incurred a prison break. We still haven’t had a chance to reevaluate the security system, so who knows what he could possibly get up to–Was this his plan all along? Kill my father, get sent to the dungeon, and then brea

Ivy's POV“He’s somewhere over here.” I look back at Delilah as I speak. As her lips are pursed, and her brow is furrowed. We’re wandering through an unfamiliar wing of the palace–I’ve never seen this area before, but as she looks back and forth, she seems more and more unnerved. It’s like she’s confirmed our destination in her mind, and she’s not all that happy about it. I don’t know where we’re going, but I can feel the strength of the mate bond Spencer and I share. It stretches between us like a rubber band. The farther apart we are, the more we yearn to snap back into one another the way we’re always supposed to be. “Are you sure about that?” Delilah asks me tentatively. She takes another look around the halls. “Why would Spencer be near Colin’s room? He hates–” Suddenly, Delilah’s face flushes, and she looks away. “Um. Never mind.” I raise an incredulous eyebrow at her. “Colin’s room is near here?” I repeat, glancing back and forth.We’re certainly in a wing of the palace mo

Spencer's POVBefore I can respond to Ivy’s question, my mother’s voice rings sharply through the air. “Don’t tell her anything!” She snaps. Ivy frowns, tilting her head in confusion. I can almost feel the gears in her mind whirring. Ivy is a smart girl–she’s certainly figured out by now that something unusual has happened in the palace. And I can tell that, after everything she’s been through, she has absolutely no interest in being kept out of the loop. I want to tell her what happened, for her own safety. My father was killed within these very walls–any member of the Lycan Royal Family, or anyone with proximity to us, could be the next target. “Go away, Mother,” I snap at her, rolling my eyes. “You’ve done enough damage here.”My mother huffs. “I’m trying to protect you, and this family! Which she certainly isn’t a part of.” I can see the irritation flashing in Ivy’s eyes, but she bites her tongue for now. “I’ll deal with this myself,” I say to my mother, dragging a hand down

Ivy's POVI can hardly believe I’m holding Spencer’s hand. It’s such a small thing to get emotional about–I’m carrying his child, for Moon Goddess’s sake. And yet, as our fingers remain twined together, I can feel my heart beginning to race ever so slightly. We’re holding hands. Things might be a mess between us right now, and I have no idea what our future is going to look like. But we’re holding hands. “You shouldn’t come with me, Ivy,” Spencer says softly. His gaze is still fixed on Delilah up ahead, but I can tell that I’m the one with his attention. “I don’t know what I’d be getting you mixed up in, and–I mean, the Lycan King is dead. The most powerful man in the kingdom. If he could be killed…” Spencer trails off, but I can hear the unspoken words lingering on the tip of his tongue. I could be killed, too. Me and his unborn child–both of us, gone in one fell swoop. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but my mind starts to whir. As upsetting as the Lycan King’s death was, ne

Ivy's POVOnce Delilah makes her way into the dungeon, Spencer and I have to wait several minutes in order to follow her without her noticing. “What do you think is happening between Delilah and Colin?” I ask. “I don’t know,” Spencer admits, shifting back and forth. “I… I heard them talking, awhile back. I think Colin was trying to talk her into starting an affair, but that’s just how he always is, I guess, trying to take away anything that belongs to me–” Suddenly, remembering the context of his words, Spencer realizes the impact of what he’s just said/. His piercing, endless gaze settles on me, waiting for my reaction. I cross my arms over my chest and raise an eyebrow at Spencer. I know what he’s referring to–the way Colin flirted with me back when Spencer and I were together. Sylvia filled me in on Colin’s behaviours and patterns. I know that Colin was just trying to rile Spencer up. “I don’t belong to you,” I tell Spencer. “And I never have. But you think Colin has been tryi

Ivy's POV“Why did you come?” In every interaction I’ve had with Prince Colin before, he’s carried himself with a very distinctive demeanour. There’s a forced swagger he tries to bring into everything he does, although he’s trying to paint himself as the picture of nonchalance. A memory strikes me all at once–Erick had a younger brother, I recall, and as the second son, he always had something to prove. Colin’s long messy hair and untucked shirt, the gleam in his eyes, his arrogant flirtation with me… it’s all an act. He’s second best, and he knows it, and he’s spent his whole life trying to convince everyone that it’s not real. But as Colin looks at Delilah, he approaches her slowly, walking towards the end of the cell until the two are standing face to face through the bars. Delilah’s hands are wrapped around the wrought iron that separates them. Colin raises his hands so they’re just above hers, but he doesn’t touch her at all. For once, there’s nothing disingenuous about him.

Ivy's POVThe moment I hear the words pass Delilah’s lips, my heart begins to race. If Delilah really does have feelings for Colin–if she truly mean everything she’s saying right now, if this isn’t just some sort of scheme or deception on her part, if marriage is even something on both of their minds–That could mean Delilah doesn’t really love him. That could mean Spencer doesn’t really love her. Maybe there’s hope for us yet. My heart begins to race as my mind whirls with all the newfound possibilities. With Spencer and Delilah’s wedding set for the Summer Equinox, a date only days away now, I’d all but figure I’d lost Spencer for good. But maybe that’s not the case anymore. We could be together again. We could make it work. We could raise our child, our children, together. It’s possible. It’s really possible. Taking note of my sudden racing heart and quickening breath, Spencer glances over at me. “Are you alright?” He asks, raising an eyebrow. My face burns. I can’t tell h

Spencer's POV“So what’s going on between you and Delilah?” Ivy’s question catches me abruptly off guard. I raise an eyebrow as I turn to look at her. “What do you mean?” I ask, doing my best to keep my voice steady. “We’re engaged. It’s really quite straightforward.” Considering my father was murdered, it’s more important to me than ever that I keep Ivy safe. No matter what. “Alright,” Ivy says slowly. “But you just–I mean, you knew Delilah for a while before the two of you were engaged. And we were together. And we were… fine, I guess. And then, all of a sudden, you were engaged.” Ivy draws in a breath, and I can tell that the pain of remembering what happened between us is getting to her. It hurts me every time to know just how much this whole mess has affected her. She deserves to be loved, and protected, and cherished. She deserves to know what’s going on. I wish I could do that for her, but now most certainly isn’t the time. “But you don’t seem to care about her, I guess,

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
