Alpha Ivik

The gains and losses that should have caught my attention were just a blur of numbers in front of me. The numbers on the screen were interesting, but they couldn't compare to the pain in my chest. It had been there since Heather left for Los Angeles two weeks ago. Every figure I looked at was an attempt to dull the pain of her absence, and every mouse click was an attempt to take my mind off the desire that consumed me.

If I were any other Alpha, I might have used force to keep her near and prevent her departure. But I no longer wanted to use force. Even though Heather was my fated mate, even though I sensed the love she had for me, I respected her independence too much to ever consider such an act. She couldn't feel our bond, which was alarming, to say the least. There had been moments when I could've taken her into my arms and claimed her as mine, yet I refrained. The scent of her lingered in my memory, potent and intoxicating; it had nearly driven me to madness.

    HeatherI was carrying a box labeled 'Mom's Essentials' towards the master bedroom when the triplets darted past me."Mom! Look at this place!" Luka buzzed in. He was always a whirlwind of laughter and boundless energy."Careful, don't run too fa—" My caution tapered off as I watched Luka disappear into the room. He had always been curious, but lately, his curiosity seemed to be growing alongside their growing independence."Wow," Avery breathed out, her eyes wide as they took in the spacious room with its high ceilings and elegant decor. Theo followed close behind. He wasn't as hyped as Luka, but his eyes sparkled with amazement as he surveyed the room.I placed the box on the dresser and turned just in time to see Luka leap onto the king-sized bed, bouncing slightly on the plush mattress. Avery and Theo settled on either side."Mom, why did we move?" Luka asked, tilting his head. "I had so many friends back there. Now, I gotta start all over." He dragged his last phrases, making his

    HeatherI swiveled in my chair as I flipped through my patient's chart one final time. Two weeks ago, Susan's heart faltered on the table. I thought we’d lost her, but her vital signs surged back to life, and she made a remarkable recovery. Now, as I looked at her, she seemed to be a completely different person. The color had returned to her cheeks, and her brown eyes sparkled with vibrancy."I can't thank you enough. If it hadn't been for you, my grandmother wouldn't be here today, Dr. Everest," the teenage girl said with tears welling up in her eyes. She actually looked like her grandmother, only younger. "You truly saved her life and gave our family a second chance. We are forever grateful.""It was a team effort, sweetie. We all worked together to ensure the best possible outcome for your grandmother," I replied, meeting her sincere gaze. "But your grandmother is a fighter. She had as much of a hand in her recovery as any of us."The elderly patient, who was nestling in her wheelc

    Heather"Look, Mommy! Isn't this dress beautiful?" Avery exclaimed, pointing to a mannequin. The joy in her voice was infectious, and I found myself swept up at the moment. These moments we were constructing together, brick by brick, laugh by laugh, were the building blocks of a cherished bond. Avery, Luka, Theo. and Dunstan were my pack now."Absolutely stunning, just like you," I replied, seeing her beam brighter than the twinkle in her eye.Luka, ever the adventurer, had already dashed off to the next store. I enjoyed watching his light brown hair make a mess of halo around his head as he called out, "Mom, Dunstan, come see this!" He stood before a display of sports jackets. "These are cool, right?""Very cool," Dunstan affirmed, ruffling Luka's hair in a fatherly gesture that made something inside me ache softly. The bond they were forming was undeniable, and it warmed my heart to see Luka finding a father figure in Dunstan at last. Along with Theo, when I first introduced Dunstan

    Alpha IvikI watched as the sun started to disappear beyond the Los Angeles skyline. In Wyoming, the view was strikingly different from the summit of the hill while in my wolf form. However, the sunset in the city was strange and unfamiliar to me."Careful with that desk," Dawin said, gesturing to a solid piece of mahogany being maneuvered into place. He was in charge of overseeing the development of the new office space."How's everything?" I asked as I walked over to join Dawin.He looked up from his task and replied, "Everything is going smoothly so far. We're just putting the finishing touches on the office layout.""That's how things should be."I surveyed the room. Omega workers moved fast like bees on a busy day. They worked hard to transform the room into a rustic luxury. Rich oak desks were being assembled, and exquisite modern and wild paintings covered the walls. The space was painted deep browns and greens with gold accents. Though manly, it had a grace that complimented m

    Heather"God, no. No!" I continued to pace back and forth in my office. My nerves were shot, and my hands were trembling uncontrollably. Despite my attempt to distance myself from him, I couldn't understand why Ivik had to be here. "The hell, why?"I paused and took a peek at the blinds covering the window. From my office here in the hospital, my apartment was quite visible. Although I wanted to escape and hide myself from his presence, I couldn't go home. My kids were there, and since he could only find me by my scent, he could possibly follow me to my apartment and learn about the triplets.I wasn't meant to be here at all since it was my day off. But my colleague, Olga, was facing a family emergency of her own and had to trade shifts with me. I knew it was wrong, and if the director found out that she had left her post without proper authorization, she could face serious consequences.Now I realized I was facing a bigger mess, trapped in this hospital, unable to go home.

    HeatherIf you asked me what the stupidest thing I've ever done was, I would say letting Ivik touch me. Again. Even though I managed to avoid falling for his charm the first time, I'm giving in to it again. I was not only stupid, but I was also putting everything I had worked so hard to build at risk. This temptation could be my downfall, but at that moment, my logic and reasoning seemed to fade away as I was consumed by the pull of our bond.“I always thought of kissing you, pumpkin,” he murmured, caressing my cheek with his thumb. And before I could protest or push him away, his lips were on mine again. His tongue swept into my mouth and left me breathless. His kiss was possessive, taking what he wanted without hesitation. Regardless, I couldn’t deny that it felt good. It was so good that I welcomed it with parted lips and an arched neck. My hands found their way up his chest, fisting into the fabric of his shirt as I gave in.As his hand slowly moved up my thigh, waves of heat went

    "Heather?"Dunstan's voice echoed again from the other side of the stockroom, making me flinch. By the sound of his steps, he seemed to be roaming around. "Are you here, love? Why's your office open?"My thighs tightened involuntarily around Ivik, not wanting to let him go, yet terrified of being discovered. I could feel the shame and guilt bubbling up inside of me, threatening to suffocate me."Please," I begged Ivik. "I can't do this if there's even a chance that he might find us.""Shh," Ivik soothed, kissing my forehead gently. "He's not going to see us. I'm not gonna allow that to happen." His hands started to roam again over my body. My mind begged me to stop responding and consider what I was doing, but the bond was overpowering it. Why was I allowing this bond to consume me? Was it because, deep down, I wanted to be with Ivik more than anything else?My breath caught in my throat as the outside doorknob was turned, echoing through the stockroom. I shut my eyes tightly and held

    Heather"Hey, mister." Luka stationed himself beside Ivik who had a mug of coffee in his hands. "What's your name?"Ivik set aside his coffee mug. "You can call me Ivik.""Ivik," Avery piped up. "Why won't you play with us?"Ivik's gaze shifted from Luka to Avery. The way he tousled her chestnut locks tenderly made my chest ache. "Of course, baby. But let me finish my coffee first.""So, you said you can't sleep?" I asked, leaning against the doorframe, trying to sound casual despite the fluttering in my stomach.Avery nodded. "We need our bedtime story," she said in a sad voice, and that simple statement broke my heart. Reading them a bedtime story was an important part of our nighttime routine. But I missed it tonight.I looked at the wall clock briefly, and it was 12:30 a.m., despite the fact that I had assumed it was already near dawn all along. My face heated up to the thought of our crazy moment in the stockroom and how close we were to being caught. Being with Ivik made me feel

    HeatherI cupped my mouth, and tears streamed down my eyes after reading the paternity test result Olga had given me."It's… It's 99.9% accurate," I managed to choke out. "So Dunstan is wrong. He doesn't own any of my kids. They are all fathered by Ivik." I smiled widely, but tears still continued to flow down my face. The truth finally lifted off my shoulders, removing the confusion and doubt that had plagued me for so long."I told you, girl. Everything's going to be alright," Olga said, patting my shoulder. And then we both gazed at the triplets, who were playing board games on the living room floor, their laughter filling the room. Toby also joined them, although they still didn't know that he was their uncle, despite the fact that he was just their age."So when are you telling them that Ivik is their real father?" Olga inquired.I exhaled heavily. "If not for Dunstan, maybe I had

    That night, as Ivik and I were already in bed, we held each other tightly, finding peace in each other's presence. Ivik was brushing my cheek with his thumb; his touch was gentle and comforting. He was smiling, as though he had finally found the missing piece of his heart."Are you sure about giving a chance to Sierra?" Ivik asked."It's not about her, Ivik," I said, giving him a small smile. "It's about the kid. No matter how troublesome his mother is, the child is innocent and deserves a chance at a better life. We can't let our personal feelings get in the way of doing what's right for them. Plus, he's our kid's uncle. Don't you want to introduce him to them?"He nodded with a sigh. You're right. And I'm exhausted of hatred. There's no good in holding onto grudges and letting them consume us." Ivik shifted and laid closer to me, facing me. "I want our kids to grow up in a world where love and understanding prevail. But that doesn't mean I will not punish Sier

    HeatherI sat on the grass for a while, running for my breath. Sweats kept on pouring down my face, evidence of the intense training I had just completed. The sun was beginning to set, but its warm glow still illuminated the horizon, creating a beautiful golden hue across the landscape of Crimson Groove.Ivik walked toward me, giving me a bottle of water as he sat down beside me. His own face was glistening with sweat, but he seemed unfazed by the strenuous training. "You did great out there. I can tell you've been working hard to improve your skills."I smiled gratefully, taking a sip of the refreshing water before responding, "Thanks, Ivik. Your training sessions have really pushed me to my limits, but it's all worth it to become a better fighter.""Being a fighter doesn't just require physical strength and skill, pumpkin," Ivik replied, tugging a small strand of my hair playfully. "It also requires mental fortitude and determination. You've been a figh

    HeatherWhy was this happening to me? I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn't step on or hurt anyone. I achieved my dreams without causing harm to anyone. Yet, here I was, facing a situation that seemed completely unfair and undeserved.As Dunstan touched me in a way that I didn't like at all, I felt my heart race with fear and anger. I felt like my power was taken away from me. When will this be over? I'd prefer to pass away right now than allow Dunstan to completely violate me."Stop," I muttered. Goosebumps were forming on my skin as he kissed me on the neck."You used to admire my company, remember?" Dunstan whispered. "Why change your heart now?"I shut my eyes, trying to block out his words and the memories of a time when I felt safe and comfortable with him. But no matter how hard I tried, the fear and anger continued to consume me."I'm taking you now, love. I promise, you're going to love me forever."A loud

    HeatherI woke up in bed, and when my eyes adjusted to the lights, I realized I was still in the same hotel room where I had been before. I could feel the effects of whatever Dunstan had injected me with. And though I was already conscious, my strength had been completely drained. My mind was foggy, and my body felt heavy, as if I had just run a marathon."Ingesting even a small amount of pure aconitine or the plant itself can be fatal, as it can paralyze respiratory or heart functions." Dunstan walked over to me, and I tried to press myself against the headboard, desperate to put as much distance between us as possible. "You see, my dear, I have complete control over you now. There's no escape." "You're lucky to be alive, though. But don't think for a second that I won't finish what I started.""So what will you do? Examine me in the laboratory like some sort of experiment. Or maybe you'll just dispose of me like a piec

    HeatherI woke up in the middle of the night, and my body was still exhausted from how many times Dunstan had urged me to have s*x with him. Although it was consensual, it felt like I was making love with a stranger, leaving me feeling empty and disconnected.Tears escaped from my eyes as I went to the kitchen. My body was wrapped in a blanket, leaving the sleeping Dunstan exposed on the bed. As I made myself a cup of tea, my eyes caught sight of Dunstan's laptop on the table, some papers were scattered around it. So he still worked after our last encounter, which made me very tired.Curiosity got the better of me. I couldn't resist the urge to take a peek and see what he had been working on.I sat at the table, forgetting about the tea that I had just made. As I opened the laptop, a rush of guilt washed over me, but my curiosity was greater than my conscience. The screen displayed a document titled

    Heather“What are you doing, Amanda?” Ivik pushed Amanda, and that was the moment he noticed me, shattering in the corner.“Heather…”“S-so this is what you call a show?” I squeaked, clutching my chest in disbelief. “And you are so dedicated to it that you continued to act even without an audience? Who the hell are you fooling, Ivik?”I glared at Amanda, but she only turned her back, clutching her head as she leaned against the wall. “What can you say to yourself, Ms. Miller?”“Heather, babe, you’ve got it all wrong!” Ivik strode to me and immediately cupped my face. His touch made me flinch, as though I had been burned. “I’m not fooling anyone, especially you. Look, we don’t have a relationship. This is a misunderstanding.”“You are right, Ivik. This is a misunderstanding, because I had misunderstood your actions towards me!&rd

    Heather“Good evening, Mr. Fisher and Ms. Everest.”The receptionist and other hotel staff welcomed Dunstan and me in the function room of Hotel Grandeur. Dimmed lights and soft music playing in the background created an elegant atmosphere in the room. Everything my eyes could see exuded luxury and sophistication.“This way, please.” The receptionist led us to a table near the center of the room, where Dunstan pulled out a chair for me.Despite my perfect environment, I felt lost and out of place, consid

    HeatherI had no idea how long I had been gazing at Dunstan. The truth was, I wasn’t sure if I heard him right, since my mind wasn’t in the mood to comprehend such things.“Are you alright, love?" Dunstan cupped my face as he frowned. And then he smiled.and directed us towards the bed, so we could sit on its edge. “Forgive me if I cannot wait until I return, but I cannot bear to leave you like that. I realized I wanted to stay by your side and make sure you're still here," Dunstan confessed. He gently brushed a strand of hair behind my ear."Why would I not be okay, Dunstan? I asked, chuckling."You seemed lost in your thoughts and distant," he explained, concern evident in his voice. "I just want to make sure you're truly okay, my love." I looked up at him, still wondering what had gotten into his mind. He seemed different, almost desperate. I gathered t
