Kate gripped Penny’s upper arm again and pulled her along savagely towards the forests. They continued to walk till they reached a thicket of trees, and Kate shoved her to the ground. Penny stumbled forward and fell. She regained her balance and then looked at them. Her breath became ragged when she saw her holding the knife.
She tried to reason it with them, “This is a bad idea. Look, just leave me and I will never ever come in your way. Ludwig is my husband. If he will come to know what you’ve done, he is going to hunt you down and kill you. In fact he already knows who you two are. So trust me, you won’t find a place on this earth, if he comes to know what you have done.”
Kate’s eyes widened. “You are such trash. You dare to speak lies to us. Who the hell is going to marry a whore like you?” Kate la
Ludwig brought his shaky fingers to touch her skin. He stroked her back gently as if trying to believe what his eyes saw. Penny had healed completely. There wasn’t even the slightest line of the scar over there. Thankfully the knife was small and had stuck in her flesh. The doctor in emergency had torn her shirt from the back and sewed the wound with two stitches.Magic of the Necklace of Dorza had started working. Ludwig was stunned. “Penny, you have healed. There’s no scar here.”Penny stilled. How could this be? She whipped her head to see Ludwig who was still gazing at her back. On instinct she took her hand to her back and felt the skin. It was pretty smooth. Then she looked at him with wide eyes.“We need to get out of the hospital now!” said Ludwig.
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
Wearing Ludwig’s shirt, Penny was standing in the terrace of her room leaning against the rail. She had asked the gardeners to cover the latticework of the rail with rose creepers. The ramblers had started throwing the vines out and tiny pink roses were blooming. They hadn’t covered the latticework entirely but they looked beautiful. It was difficult to grow the roses in that climate but the gardener had managed it. Penny was brushing her hands over the tiny roses that had sprouted. The soft petals made her feel calm. It was evening and after the day’s work, she was simply enjoying a cup of tea.During her periods, Ludwig didn’t allow her to leave the bedroom, and she didn’t go out not because she couldn’t have forced herself to go out, but her cramps had made her life miserable and so she herself couldn’t even think of moving out of the bed. She sipped on he
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
Not understanding what exactly happened, Ludwig rushed after her to the bathroom, and he was horrified when he saw that she had kneeled over the toilet and was emptying all her dinner in it. Fear gripped him and he ran to draw her hair at her back. After that he stroked her back in order to relax her. She heaved and heaved until there was nothing left in her stomach. Her limbs trembled when she grabbed the sides of the sink to stand up. Ludwig supported her immediately and hauled her weight against his.Penny wiped her mouth with her sleeve. “I don’t know what happened…” she said as Ludwig brought her to the basin to rinse her mouth and wash her face.“It’s fine baby,” he said, trying to stay as calm as possible, but on the inside he trembled. He helped her clean up and then picked her up in his arms to get
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
“Haley is a witch. She can open portals, Ludwig. And she is a good friend. I am sure she will help us,” said Penny with urgency in her voice. Over the days Haley had been extremely sweet and supportive to her. She had traveled in various realms and gathered cute things for Penny and her baby. Her gestures were warm.Ludwig narrowed his eyes. He looked away and scratched his chin. “I don’t think we need her help at the moment Penny. You just focus on getting Brishor here.”“I will do that,” she said. “But who has attacked us? And why? Is it Keplin?” Suddenly her skin was lined with goose bumps and she thought air whooshed out of her lungs. What if Zoe was also with Keplin?Ludwig didn’t want to give her the details. “Don’t worry
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,”
