His Lost Lycan Luna (Jessica Hall) novel Chapter 74

Read His Lost Lycan Luna by Jessica Hall Chapter 74 – Ivy POV

It was early in the morning when I slipped out without the King waking; I had shut off his alarm when I woke before deciding to help Clarice in the kitchens; I looked over at Peter, the stable hand boy, as he came in. He stopped by the counter and leaned on it. Peter was only young, with a mop of curly hair. He kept shoving his fringe out of his eyes.

“Clarice, is Gannon or Dustin around? I need help to move the barrels from the shed into the barn.” Peter asked.

“Barrels?” Clarice asked questionably, and Peter sighed.

“Yeah, the empty wine barrels. Jamie wants me to cut them in half so he can make garden beds out of them, but I need to cut them and paint them for him,” he said with a huff, clearly not enjoying being given extra chores by the gardener.

“Do it in the shed,” Clarice tells him with a shrug.

“Can’t, there is not enough room; it’s full with the furniture from the east wing,” he whined.

“Well, you will have to go look for them. I do not know where either of the”

“I can help,” I offered. Being outside sounded great, and Clarice hardly let me do anything to help besides peel potatoes, saying I shouldn’t even be helping. However, with Abbie gone, I was constantly bored and still hadn’t forgiven the King for marking me or healing me while I slept. I also hated that he used the calling on me to force me to submit the other night.

“The King will pitch a fit if he finds you in the stables working,” Clarice said.

“Let him, I am helping Peter,” I tell her, and Peter’s eyes lit up at the offer of help.

“Ivy, he will lose his mind if you get hurt,” Clarice said, grabbing my hand gently.

“It’s fine, Clarice; I will deal with the b****y King if needed,” I growled before grabbing Peter’s arm and tugging him out the door.
