Zoe gritted her teeth as she remained away from him facing the window of the bedchamber of his cave. The room was as cold and gray as his soul was. They were lying on a stone bed, which had a soft mattress over it. His cold hands were beneath her shirt and she shivered. She closed her eyes and let him do what he wanted to, but she wouldn’t let him destroy her virginity. It had been almost a month ever since that incident and she had told Keplin about it. She didn’t speak when he went on to squish her breast, and then slowly took his fingers below her navel inside her white pajamas. He touched her folds over there and slowly started rubbing them. “I would love to feel the insides of you,” he said suggestively as he grazed her neck with his fangs. “You will, once you get the Necklace for me,” she replied in a voice

Just for a moment, she thought she saw greediness in her eyes, but then that look went away so fast that Penny thought she had imagined. She smiled. It was just a friendly talk from a client. But how could she say that the necklace never comes off, so she lied, “This is a gift, which I can’t give to anyone because I love it like hell!” She let out a mock laughter. Haley’s reverie broke. She laughed along with her and nodded. “Of course! It would be unwise of me to ask you to give it to me even for a day. After all it is a gift.” She placed her hand on Penny’s and added, “I am sorry to even ask like that, but this is a pretty necklace.” Her eyes were so soft and kind that Penny softened immediately. “No problem, Haley” she replied. Ha

Tova shook his head as Penny flushed a thousand shades of red. But Ludwig was too happy to notice their awkwardness. Tova poked his tongue in his cheek in order to stop laughing. Penny’s hand went to her belly as she cradled it and looked at her husband. He had given her a beautiful thing, a miracle of life and a wonder of making a baby that was his. She smiled when she saw him pumping fists in the air as if he was so victorious. His enthusiasm was infectious and she laughed for the first time in ten days. “You have to eat whatever suits you. Don’t stop eating things,” said Tova. He glared at Ludwig. “You better not ban food items in the castle.” “I will lift the ban now!” said Ludwig and mentally communicated to all the servants to bring everything b

Over the next four hours, Brishor had called his warriors whom he split into two. Ha’daz was ready with his soldiers on the northern side. The portals which Tova had bought from the witches of the black market, were supposed to stay open for four days. Lykae soldiers were employed on both the sides to make sure that no one except the army walked through them. Even the witches who had created the portals were standing over there, guarding them and keeping a watch on all. Knowing that Brishor’s dragons would take care of Maxim and his rogues, Ludwig concentrated on Keplin. His target was Zoe. If she fell, then Keplin would also weaken. “Why don’t you use the weapons I have crafted, Ludwig? I have been able to craft half of your order and it is waiting in the inventory,”

Penny sagged down the door. His head was in a tizzy. What just happened? She couldn’t wrap her mind around the events that took place. Haley told her that she was going to take her to Ludwig, instead she found herself in a bloody dark chamber. Terror added to her already hyper emotions. Bile rose in her throat. At first Penny couldn’t see properly in the darkness, but she adjusted her vision and realized that she was in a small cell, which was barely ten by ten feet. There wasn’t a single window in it. She was sitting over a hard concrete floor that was cold and damp. Her body shuddered. She played all the memories in her mind, which were concerned with Haley. She closed her eyes and kept thinking again and again as to where did the woman lack, or where was it that she left a loophole in making her think that she was a potent danger. And to her surprise, there wasn’t a thing w
