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 dIvy'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
The sun was setting over the horizon, casting a golden hue over the majestic mansion of Mr Jones Vones. He had invited two of his most trusted associates, Rafe's father and his eldest son, Raymond, to come see him. But as they arrived at the gates of the mansion, they could sense the tension that hung in the air. The butler opened the door and ushered them inside. Mr Vones was waiting for them in the grand hall, his expression unreadable. Rafe's father and Raymond exchanged a meaningful glance. They were expecting the worst to be said to them by Mr Jones Vones, yes, but the atmosphere in the room was too heavy.As they entered the grand hall, Mr Vones spoke. "I need solutions, I need solutions from the two of you" he said, his voice hard as steel. "My bride, the one Rafe took, is also mine. I am tired of this back and forth movement and I am contemplating killing Rafe." The words hung in the air, and Rafe's father and Raymond exchanged a h
Rafe had picked up a coat and that of Ivy and told her they would go for a walk. The house was too tight a space for him to have shared his father's past with her.As they got there, he sat down to process some information and then turned to tell her.Rafe slowly looked up at Ivy, his face illuminated by the faint light of the street lamp outside. He could feel the weight of the story he was about to tell her and he hesitated for a moment. He had never told his father's story to anyone before, and he wasn't sure how she would react. He had to tell her. He had to tell her the truth about his father and why they had to flee their former home, hunted by werewolf hunters. He had to tell her the truth about Mr. Cayton and the price his father had paid for their safety. Ivy's expression remained neutral as she waited for him to continue. Rafe cleared his throat and began, his voice low and measured."My father used to work for Mr. Jones Vones
The family sat in stunned silence as Rafe's father finished his story, each of them too terrified to make a sound. He had come home to tell them of the dire news that Mr Jones Vones had visited a witch doctor to harm Rafe if he did not bring back Ivy. Rafe's father had been worried, and now they all were, but there seemed to be no solutions.Raymond, Rafe's older brother, was the first to speak. "What can we do?" he asked, his voice trembling with fear. His father shook his head, the worry evident in his eyes.Rafe's mother spoke next. "We must find Rafe," she said urgently. "We must find him before it's too late." But nobody had any idea of where to look or how to find him.Rafe's father rose from his chair, his face grim. "I will do whatever I can to find our son," he said determinedly. "I will leave tonight and search until I find him."The family watched silently as he prepared to depart, their hearts heavy with fear and dread. Rafe's mother e
The sun was setting, painting the sky in a brilliant array of oranges, yellows and pinks. Ivy stood in the center of the cottage's front yard, her eyes scanning the horizon. She had been here for days. Everything had been going according to her plan. She was completely healed, and Rafe, who had been teaching her how to use her werewolf powers, was fine. He had earlier told her of his father being an assassin for Mr Jones Vones, and his suspicion that his father might have killed her parents.The thought of her parents being killed by Rafe's father made Ivy's blood boil. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, feeling the anger boiling inside her. She had to focus, she reminded herself. She had to be rational and logical.Ivy took a deep breath and looked around. The cottage was surrounded by a small forest, a few trees scattered here and there. She could see a few wolves in the distance, their bright yellow eyes peering out from the darkness. She realized tha
Raymond and his father had gotten into the building, only to find Rafe standing before them, snarling with anger. His father attempted to calm him down, but Rafe was having none of it. He knew why they had come. His father tried to reason with him, telling Rafe that his life was in danger and that they had to take him home. But Rafe was adamant and refused. He had heard of the witch doctor that Mr. Jones Vones had hired to track him down and kill him. Fearing the worst, Raymond's father grabbed Rafe and pulled him closer, urging him to reconsider. But Rafe remained defiant, determined to face the witch doctor himself. He was determined not to let anyone get in the way of his love. He and Ivy would love themselves and no one would stop them. Suddenly, a thunderous crash came from outside. The sound of shattering glass filled the air as the witch doctor appeared. He stepped inside the building, his beady eyes scanning the room. In his hands was a long sta
Rafe felt a sense of dread wash over him. He had been running away from his family for so long, and now they had finally found him. He had been able to stay hidden for so long, but his luck had finally run out.He looked over at Ivy, who was standing beside him, and he could see the fear in her eyes. He knew that she was scared, and he wanted to protect her. But he had no idea how he was going to do that.He grabbed her hand and tried to reassure her. He told her that everything was going to be alright, but he could tell that she didn't believe him.Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. It was loud enough to shake the entire house. Rafe knew that it was his family, and he felt his heart start to race. He knew that he had to act fast.He grabbed Ivy and pulled her close to him. He whispered in her ear, "I need you to stay here. No matter what happens, don't leave this room. I'll be back soon." She nodded and Rafe kissed her forehead before
