Rays of sunlight fell through the drape openings of her room. Ivorie squinted her eyes as she yawned, stretching like a lazy cat.She opened her eyes slowly, squinting it as the bright rays flashed into her eyes, almost blinding her. She had totally forgotten to shut the drapes before she slept.She had been so tired to do that. Being kidnapped wasn't a child's play.Although her body still ached minimally from last night, she managed to sit up. A groan escaped her mouth as she rubbed her upper thigh, which had cracked a little when those kidnappers threw her on the ground.Looking at the sun through the parted drapes, she knew it was already late in the morning. She had to get up, whether she liked it or not.She forced herself out of bed, limping towards the egress window. Instead of shutting the drapes like she had intended to, she decided to walk out to the balcony.Warm breeze greeted her skin as she stepped on the smooth concrete floor. She held the railings and watched her gard
“Hello, Luna.” Jenna greeted with a sly smile. Ivorie's breath caught in her throat for a moment, shock still evident in her expression.Composing herself, she faced Grace. “Have my breakfast prepared, I'll dress up myself.” She said smoothly.Grace who opened her mouth to speak closed it instead, bowed and left.Folding her arms over her chest and turning her attention back to Jenna, she smiled. She used the smile to cover her shock and nervousness.“So, how can I help you, Duchess?” She asked in a tone she hoped was confident enough.A smirk tugged Jenna's lips, “Well, nothing much Luna. I just wanted to check up on you since I heard you were…kidnapped the night before.” She said.“Well, thank you then, although I wonder why you weren't amongst those who came to my bedroom last night when I just returned.” She said, clicking her tongue like she was in thought.“I…I had other things doing before you returned Luna, I would have been here if I could.” she defended herself.Ivorie humme
The loud sound of a gong echoed in the castle, causing sleeping Ivorie to roll and groan on her bed.The unfriendly sound had successfully jolted her out of her sleep, but she still tried to get some more.Suddenly, she remembered what she had to do today and she sat up slowly. Rubbing her eyes, she stood up from the bed and opened the drapes. First thing she did every morning.As she gazed out at the castle compound, thoughts of the day before, when the kidnappers had been questioned flooded her mind.‘Who would've thought?’ she mused thoughtfully.“What?” Regan had asked, obviously confused. Even the kidnappers had looks of apprehension and shock on their faces.“Yes, I saw her heading to the direction of where I was taken to, when we were coming back to the castle.” She had attested, looking defiantly at Regan.She remembered how Regan had looked straight into her eyes and asked her if she was sure of what she was saying. And how she had nodded defiantly.Regan had Jenna summoned f
Her finger was still pointed to the particular brown haired warrior at the back of the line. Estan's gaze travelled to him before narrowing at him.Turning his attention to Ivorie, “Luna…” he drawled, “he…he is but a newly recruited warrior.” He said, his voice laced with concern.Ivorie arched her brows at him, “And?”“And um…well,” he faced the warrior, “he may have proven himself to be a formidable warrior among his peers but he is still very new.” He said.Ivorie shrugged. “I don't see why he shouldn't be chosen still, perhaps the newly recruited ones have the strongest wit.” She stated.“Luna, I don't know him like the others. His integrity might be questionable.” Estan stated, turning his whole body to face her.A smirk tugged Ivorie's lips as she also turned to face the Beta.“And what makes you think these ones’ integrity isn't questionable?” She asked, gesturing to the warriors he had called forward.Estan raised his brow, his jaw clenching. He had no idea that the Luna was s
Regan couldn't deny the fact that he couldn't get his eyes off her amazing body as she spoke. The way she gestured strongly while arguing with him, her voluptuous breast juggling under the thin fabric of her dress, it all turned him on. His wolf, especially, wouldn't allow him to rest.Boris told him a million times to move near her. To lay his hands on her body and feel her soft skin, to knead them in his hand and to make her moan his name.The desires were beginning to overwhelm him and he had to give in so as to calm his wolf.“So, how are you doing?” Was all he could come up with as his eyes flickered. He didn't even know when his feet began to move him towards her.She stepped back a little, bewildered with his sudden expression. The confusion was evident in her eyes.But those magical orbs also held desire in them, desire that was mostly shrouded beneath sheer stubbornness and unyielding.‘She likes us’ Boris hissed, sending a rush of lust into his host.Regan moved closer to Iv
The rest of the day was uneventful for Ivorie and she had also shifted the arrangements and decoration work to the next day.In the morning of the next day, she quickly got to work.Being in the castle for over three weeks now, she had noticed that there was a hierarchy among the maids and servants in the castle.So now that she had something to do in the grand hall, she should meet the head maid and inform her about it. But she didn't know who the person was and moreover, she wanted to handle it on her own.She went, alongside Grace, to the ground floor, where the grand hall was located. The castle had four floors; the ground one was where she was heading to, the second floor was where the maids' living quarters and infirmary were located, the third floor was where the royals slept. They included herself, Regan and his family. The fourth floor was just an almost deserted place where the Archives and other things were located.She guessed there must be another building where there wer
“Why Luna, sit. Let us begin with the meeting quickly.” Jenna said in a sing-song tone, a feigned smile plastered on her face.Comporting herself, Ivorie gave her a smile and walked over to a seat.The smile was only a cover up for what she felt within. She was surprised that Jenna would be the minister.‘Isn’t she a Duchess already?’ she wondered. What did she know about feeding the pack?Jenna cleared her throat, bringing Ivorie back to the present.“So the Alpha told me about…your plans to redistribute foodstuffs around the pack.” She began, placing her hands on the table while looking at Ivorie keenly.“Yes. We are to discuss ways in which it could be done…meticulously and to the commoners’ good taste.” Ivorie answered, interlocking her fingers over her knees.“Hmm, honestly Luna, I didn't think of you as a benevolent person. You really care about the people.” Jenna said while readjusting her sitting posture.Ivorie's brows creased with slight anger. Jenna was trying to get on her
Sweat poured down Regan's bare back as he walked down the hallway leading to the bathing room. His chest was still heaving from the intense training session he had just concluded with his warrior recruits.He could feel Boris draining energy and he would soon retreat to the back of his mind to rest.‘Your recruits are surely getting better at this,’ Boris said in his mind.Regan chuckled, ‘That’s what is expected of them. How else would they conquer our enemies?’ Regan responded as he entered the bathing room. The warm atmosphere greeted him immediately.Boris grunted within him, ‘I wasn't complaining, I was only acknowledging them. Either way, none of them are a match for us,’ the wolf said. If he could, Regan knew he would be smirking right now. They were just the same.Regan felt his wolf retreating back and soon, his presence was void. He was all alone now.He dipped himself into the warm bath and enjoyed the warmth against his hard skin.Thoughts of the battles brewing filled his
