Ivy watched in horror as the gun went off and Magdalene’s lifeless body dropped to the ground. She couldn’t believe what had just happened and felt as if she were in a dream. She was too shocked to move or speak, her mind was blank and her body paralyzed.
A guard stepped forward and grabbed Magdalene’s body, pushing it into the shallow grave. He quickly began to cover it with sand, and Ivy could do nothing but watch. Tears streamed down her face as she realized the finality of what had occurred.She felt helpless and scared, like a caged animal, her mind racing with questions. Why did Mr Jones Vones have to go this length? Why was it done? What would happen to her now?Suddenly, she was brought back to reality by a voice. It was Mr. Jones Vones, he was by the door of the mansion. He yelled her name, breaking the silence and causing her to jump.“Ivy!” He said, his voice filled with anger. “What do you have to say for yourself?”Ivy’s mindIvy was feeling a mix of fear and excitement as she had her shower. She knew that the opportunity to escape was very small, but the idea of a better life was beckoning her to try again.The shower had offered her a brief reprieve from reality but now it was time to get ready. She dried off and dressed in a plain but comfortable outfit. She had a feeling that she needed to be prepared for whatever was ahead.It was then that a thought occurred to her—why not escape once more? Maybe the moon goddess would help her this time. She couldn't explain why, but the idea felt right. She needed to try.With that, she came out of the bathroom determined to have one more go at it. Mr Jones Vones had ordered his guards to take her to the venue and she would be dressed there. As they entered the car, Ivy's head was covered with a black bag. She heard and saw nothing.The journey seemed to last forever and Ivy was filled with anxiety. She was scared of being caug
Mr Jones Vones had dragged Ivy into the car as he signaled his driver to start the car and move. He turned to his side where Ivy sat, "Honey. Stop fighting me or I will be forced to fight back. This is not how couples should be acting. Stop making me hurt you" Ivy stayed still and quiet. She tried to avoid contact with his eyes as she looked out the window. She saw a girl like here making a phone call and remembered when she was free to make her own decisions. She cried on the inside but promised herself she would not shed a single tear for Mr Jones Vones again.****Ivy felt her heart racing as the driver pulled into the location of the event. She was about to get married to Mr Jones Vones, the bastard who had made her life a living hell as of late and there was really nothing she could do to stop him. The car stopped and she could hear Mr Jones Vones say 'it's show time' . The beauty of the venue was magnificent but that was none of her concer
Mr Jones Vones had been expecting the wedding of him and his bride to be a joyous and happy occasion. But as he stepped into the wedding hall, he immediately noticed something was off. The guests were standing still and no music was playing. He then noticed Rafe and his bride trying to sneak out of the wedding hall, and his heart sank.He knew it was too late. Knowing Rafe, he was probably planning to run away with his bride. He had suspected something like this might happen ever since he heard Rafe's father say they had to bring Rafe to witness the wedding. To be honest, he was against it, but Rafe's father insisted. He said it would stop Rafe from interfering with their lives. He said Rafe needed to witness it. It was the only way. In a fit of anger, Mr Jones Vones pulled a gun from his back pocket and shot a bullet up in the air. The sound of the gunshot echoed through the wedding hall, and everyone froze.The sound of the gun had a devastating effect
Rafe had navigated his way out of Cayton successful, far away from the city lights and neon signs. He was now somewhere east on the outskirts of town, the winding roads leading him further and further away from the danger he had just escaped from. He glanced at the back seat of his car, his gaze lingering on the body of a woman in the back seat. His lover, Ivy, lay there, lifeless and still. He had no idea what he had to do to help her, but he knew he had to keep going. He had to find help.He turned to face the road, feeling the weight of Ivy’s body pressing down on him. He had no where to go, no idea what to do, and the body of his lover, lifeless in his car. He felt a wave of despair wash over him. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and started hitting his head on it, calling out to the moon goddess to help him. Suddenly, she appeared. The goddess stood before him, her long silver hair billowing around her like a cape, her silver eyes shining in the mo
Rafe's heart skipped a beat when he saw Ivy stir in their cottage. He had wiped her birthmark, and the next thing he knew, she was waking up from the dead. He couldn't decide whether he should be scared or happy. His mind raced with a million questions and he just had to know the answer.He watched Ivy slowly sit up in the bed, her face looking confused. She looked around the room, her eyes darting from corner to corner. Rafe held his breath. What was she going to say?Ivy's gaze eventually settled on Rafe, and she slowly said, "I've seen someone."Rafe was taken aback. "You saw someone? Who did you see?" he asked.Ivy shook her head. "I don't know," she said. "I just saw them. They were smiling at me. It was the most beautiful smile I've ever seen."Rafe's heart sank. He knew this was something he was not prepared to handle. He was worried about who she had seen and why she was acting so differently. He had to find out more."Wh
Ivy jolted with a sudden realization. She remembered the name of the woman who had brought her to life.Rafe gasped. He had been sitting next to Ivy when she had made the sudden discovery. He asked her to describe the woman she was thinking of.Taking a deep breath, Ivy began to describe her. "She was slender with curves and dark hair. Her eyes were green, like mine."Rafe covered his mouth with his hands, his expression paling. He knew exactly who Ivy was talking about."Mirabella," Rafe whispered, his voice barely audible. It had been a long time since he had thought of his ex-girlfriend.Ivy watched as Rafe's face crumpled, his shoulders shaking as he started to sob. His grief was palpable, and Ivy felt a pang of sympathy for him.She reached out and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "It's alright," she murmured.Rafe shook his head. "No, it's not. I lost her a long time ago, and now I know why she did what she d
Ivy's eyes slowly fluttered open, a soft light illuminating the space around her. She felt something warm and tender on her forehead, and when she focused, she realized it was the sensation of someone's lips.Rafe's face came into view, his golden eyes twinkling in the dimness. He was beaming down at her, a soft smile playing on his lips, and in that moment she knew that everything was going to be alright.His fingers gently ran along her back, kneading her muscles in all the right places. She felt her body respond to his touch, and it was like a wave of energy washing over her.Rafe leaned back and looked into her eyes, and she felt something stir inside her. He recited a romantic poem to her, his voice low and tender, and she was captivated by the beauty of his words.As he finished, Rafe leaned in closer and kissed her again. This time it was different, more passionate and with a deeper meaning. He pulled away and looked into her eyes, and she
Raymond's fist connected with the wall with a loud crash, his rage and despair echoing through the room like thunder. He had heard about what had happened at Mr Jones' wedding and he was furious at his father. If only his father had allowed him to tag along, Rafe wouldn't have disrupted the wedding, challenged their father, who was their alpha and ran off with Ivy's body.Raymond knew he was powerful enough to stop his younger brother. The anger had been boiling inside Raymond for minutes, and now it had reached an unbearable level. He could feel his fists clenching, his body shaking and his heart pounding as he thought about the consequences of Rafe and Ivy's disappearance. It would be much harder to find them and separate them now.He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he had to focus on the task at hand, but it was difficult to control his emotions. He had to find his brother and the girl he liked very much before it was too lat
