When Ludwig reached his chamber, he found that Penny was sleeping. Her necklace was glowing brilliantly. There were soft white, shadowy tendrils of magic emanating from it, kissed her skin as if they were dying to merge in her. He watched her in awe as he stood on the side of her bed. Though the magic of the necklace was working, he didn’t know what kind of an immortal would she turn into? He walked to the bar, poured a glass of whiskey for himself and then walked out to the balcony. He gaze traveled to the cottage where she had lived for a few days when she had just come to his kingdom. He took a sip from his glass and swirled the alcohol on his tongue to savor the taste. He felt so much better and anchored now that the girl was with him, now that he had claimed her, and now that he had marked her. The heaviness and loneliness that he always felt in his heart filled with… warmth. He decided that no one would ever live in that cottage.&nb
Urhan was again very happy with the question. The king was dying to meet his daughter. “She is not doing good, my liege. Ever since she came to know about that human girl, she is extremely sad. Her mother and I have been trying our best to take her out of her misery but she is slipping into it.” He paused to see if there was any change of expression on his face. When there wasn’t any, he said, “She feels that the world has come to an end. I can’t see my daughter’s heartache. She really loves you my liege!”Ludwig narrowed his eyes.“That’s why I have come to suggest a solution to you.” He was about to say something when a flash of red caught his eye. He saw Penny walking past the door towards the dining room and his jaw clenched with anger.
Ludwig rolled off to the side along with Penny in a way that she was on top of him. He covered them with the blankets and held her tightly against his chest. Her hair spilled all over his shoulders and chest and he inhaled her citrusy smell again. Before he closed his eyes, he whispered, “How could I get so lucky?” He wondered if he would have ever found Penny, had he not gone to find Necklace of Dorza for Zoe. Eyes half closed he thought he was about to sleep when Penny turned to the other side and her hips grazed his shaft. He waited for the sleep so that he wouldn’t go in her, but even though he was too sleepy, his erection was swelling. He slid her to her side, and she grunted in protest. After spooning her from the back, he slid inside her and moved his hips gently until he came. He smothered his roar in her hair. Once he spent the last of his seeds in her, he slept with his erection inside her.
According to the plan the five leaders split and along with their people they marched to five different locations outside the castle. Under the cover of the night, they spread to various locations and waited for the right time to strike. They were to attack simultaneously so that the force with which they attacked was strong. Since they were going against the king, it wasn’t going to be that easy. They knew that his army must be marching around the castle and would be vigilant like hawks. Only a combined attack would be effective.Urhan went back to his home and waited for them to share the good news. He had told them clearly that he was going to stay behind and decline any involvement in the attack, if they were caught. The sun was to rise in two hours. Not able to wink an eye, he paced his home to hear any sound that remotely resembled a battle cry or blasts. As time went by, there was no movement
Standing behind the group of guests, Urhan looked as if he had been stabbed in his heart. His eyes met with Ludwig and the two played a game of stares for a few seconds until Urhan lowered his gaze.The king and the queen proceeded to sit on the thrones on the dais. Once they were settled, Ludwig automatically, instinctively curled his fingers around his mate, now his Luna. Penny gazed at their hands, his large ones wrapped around her much smaller ones and a feeling of warmth suffused her heart. It had been more than a month she had arrived here and how things turned around—it was amazing. She gave him a heart warming smile and at once felt a tug at her heart. Was this the blood bond working?The guests started offering their gifts to the king and their Luna as they came one after the other. Every gift was taken by the servants and placed in t
As soon as those words left Urhan, there was a rapid motion in the air, as if something whooshed past Penny. She closed her eyes to protect herself from the gust. Her dress lifted and the tablecloth blew. When Penny opened her eyes, Ludwig wasn’t in his chair.There was a loud roar and her whipped in the direction of the sound. She heard a chair getting screeched across the black floor and then thrown. Urhan’s place was missing his presence. Rowena shrieked as she ran behind the flurry of motion.Penny’s gaze traveled to where Ludwig had dragged the man. There was not a gasp heard from others, as Penny watched them transfixed.“Noooo!” Rowena shrieked again.Penny got up and clutched the edge of the table as she watch
Ludwig slipped to her side and turned to look at her after supporting his head on the palm on the propped up elbow. “Those were the rebel leaders, who had breached the castle wall yesterday around midnight.”Penny’s eyes became wide. “Why would they do it now? Did they plan to disrupt our wedding? I mean… it was bad timing.”He picked up a loose strand of her hair from her neck and worried it in his fingers. “Yes, that was their main purpose.” He smelled her hair. “Each of the rebel leaders had breached at different places and they had over two dozen men with each of them. My guards were waiting for them to enter inside the castle in order to take them down, according to my instructions.”Penny frowned. Waiting? “Did you know about them?&
For the next two days, Ludwig didn’t leave Penny even for a minute. It was as if he had to try every damn position with her. At a time when she had gone out to stand in the balcony to breathe in the cool night air, he had come after her, held her from behind and before she knew, he had pressed her on the railing, bunched up her strappy gown and plunged inside her after parting her legs. He had wrapped her hair around his hand while he thrust in her, yanking her head up.There was not a single part on her body, which he hadn’t branded with his seeds. It was on the third day when she woke up in the morning while he was still sleeping. He had spooned her the night before and then she didn’t know when, but he had planted himself deeply inside her. So when she woke up in the morning, he was in her and even in his sleep, he was slowly moving his hips, as his face was buried in her hair.&n
Penny’s breath hitched. She stumbled back. “Wh— what are you doing here?” she asked wondering as to how could this woman enter the workshop despite security posted right outside. “How did you get past the security?”Zoe’s claws lengthened and so did her fangs. “It was easy. The blast that occurred on the outside was big enough to attract their attention. Rest was easy. In case you forgot that I am a sorceress and I can add glamour to my appearance.” She started floating slowly towards her. Her crimson skirt flowed in waves behind her. She wasn’t loaded with gold this time. The only gold thing on her was her bustier. She was devoid of her makeup and she looked terrible without it. Her eyes were not as large as they seemed. Her nose and the skin beside it were dusted with brown freckles.&ldq
