Lahat ng Kabanata ng Rescuing His Enslaved Luna Queen: Kabanata 321 - Kabanata 330

Spencer's POVThe moment one of the medics places a thick roll of bandages in my hand, I set about tying up Captain McAndrews. As I bind his wrists and ankles together, making sure he’s secured in such a way that he couldn’t even stand up if he wanted to, I look him over carefully to make sure none of the wounds that have been dealt to him are fatal. There’s blood streaking Captain McAndrews’ clothes, as well as a great amount of the stuff matted to the back of his head where his skull hit the wall, but he’s still breathing. He still has a pulse. As I secure the final knot around his wrists, I can feel the weak thrum of his heartbeat pulsing against the fabric. “Keep him alive, but don’t give him any painkillers,” I instruct the medics. “And if you can keep him stable without bringing him to the hospital, keep him here.” One of the medics, a thin man wheeling over a gurney, hesitates for a moment. “I understand that Captain McAndrews extremely important to the palace guard, Your Hi

Spencer's POVWith Captain McAndrews now in custody and coroner’s services flowing through the dungeon to remove the bodies of all the deceased guards, things are finally starting to settle back down. I breathe out a heavy sigh, leaning against the wall and watching the entire situation finally starting to wrap on up. Now that I know Captain McAndrews is the traitor–and that we’ve got him securely tied up–the mystery of the dungeon break has been resolved. I don’t have any proof, but I can picture the situation easily enough: after slipping a message to the prisoners to wait for his cue, and after evening lockup, Captain McAndrews would’ve moved through the dungeon to unlock each and every prisoner’s cell. Then, once the signal was given, the prisoners would’ve all pushed open the doors to their cell and begun attacking the guards. The sheer chaos of a dungeon break would cause enough havoc to serve two purposes. Firstly, Alpha Leo would be freed, allowing for a powerful tactical a

Spencer's POV“How long do I have?” My expression is impassive, and I’m doing my best not to betray any emotion as I speak. But despite the complete lack of feeling I’m communicating, I still feel as though my words are desperate, begging. I don't like having to rely on someone else to set my deadlines, to tell me what I need to do. The idea that Elder Jet has me under his thumb chills me to the bone. But if he wanted to control me, he chose the best possible way to do it. Ivy is the great love of my life, and I would do anything to keep her safe. Captain McAndrews’ lips curl into a cruel, wicked smile. “You’ve got until Elder Jet makes his way to the palace,” he replies. “But if we’re being really honest, by the time he makes it here, you might already be too late.” My heart hammers in my chest as I turn away from Captain McAndrews. I look up at Gamma Everly, who looks every bit as shocked and devastated by the revelation as I’m feeling. I know, in that moment, that Gamma Everl

Ivy's POVAs my kidnappers continue to walk me through the halls of the palace, I’m doing everything I can to keep myself calm. I look between the two men, and they look back at me, the warning evident in their eyes. At this point, I’m assuming they’ve got to be working for Elder Jet–after all, Elder Jet’s men have kidnapped me before. Elder Jet would want to deal maximum damage to Spencer, which means he knew exactly what he was doing by taking me. He knows just how much I mean to Spencer. All I can do now is hope that Elder Jet and his cronies don’t find out about my pregnancy. And because my kidnappers are likely working for Elder Jet, I’m terrified that means they have connections to witches and their strange magic, too. They threatened to kill Jason if they received any sign that I mind linked anyone for help–normally I’d call it a bluff, but after those red potions, after seeing the things a witch’s magic can make a person do…I’m terrified of doing something wrong and doom

Ivy's POV“You’ll never get away with it!” I’m gripping the bars of my cage as tightly as I can, but even despite my pointed efforts, I can feel myself beginning to slip. My hands feel like they're made of gelatin, and I can’t force myself to move them how I want to. My knuckles unclench, and my fingers are as useless as limp noodles. Elder Jet lets out a cold chuckle and pulls away from me. He takes a couple steps back, clearly enjoying the sight of me doing my very best to regain control of my body. I’m doing everything in my power to try and suppress the potion’s effects, but what can I do, really? I can feel it coursing through my body, bubbling into my stomach before being absorbed through the lining and into my bloodstream like some sort of sick, infested stain. I lie back on the ground, chest heaving. Grass tickles the back of my neck, and I can feel the particles of dirt clinging to my skin. I have no control right now. I don’t have anything. I’m completely and utterly u
