The drive was almost twenty-five minutes for us. My pack was not as far from the Academy as it was for the Midnight Pack. I think it was a whopping forty-five minutes for them.
Humans attending our school came from smaller towns. They were either privileged or intelligent, so keeping our identity was crucial.Not every human knew of our existence, and those who knew, because of whatever reason, were sworn or threatened not to say anything. They were frightened, and they had every reason to be. We were vicious and strong when it came to defending our kind, especially our own packs.We were coming up a hill when the Academy became visible. The institute gave out Harvard vibes but with fewer buildings. As a matter of fact, I think it was older than Harvard.Since we lived in Tennessee, Fall was slowly making its appearance. Everything about autumn gives me a euphoric ambiance. The leaves turn into beautiful, vibrant colors, and tThe bell finally rang, and Mr. Garcia cleared his throat. “Hello everyone! My name is Lorenzo Garcia, but for you guys, it is Mr. Garcia.It’s a pleasure to see every one of you. I would like each of you to introduce yourself starting from the back.” Hell…this was not my day. The teacher was already staring at me so I knew I was going to go first. “You in the back in the left corner, let's start with you young lady.” He pointed at me and winked.‘Okay…’ I sneered and hoped he didn’t catch that. I was irritated, not because of him but of the conversation I had with Christian.I stood up and I could feel all eyes on me. ‘Great!’ Even Christian turned around with his annoying self. I could see from my peripheral vision that Ivan was looking at me too. I took off my hoodie from my waist and both noticed the action. “Hi, I’m Natalie Adams.” I was about to sit down, but the
Class, was almost over, so we hurried up and changed while some of us took a quick shower. I always take a fast shower. Evie quickly came over to me and grabbed my stuff for me. We left together since we had our third-period class together.Evie wanted to ask again, but I promised to tell her everything after school.We got to our class and sat in the back. To our surprise, Jerry walked in and I didn’t miss the twinkle in his orbs when he saw Evie. His face morphed into a huge grin. He walked over to us and he kindly asked the girl sitting next to her to find another seat.Evie was blushing so badly that she looked like a tomato. Our teacher, Mrs. Tina Chen strolled in, introducing herself quickly, and had the class doing it as well. Anatomy was an interesting subject. I was intrigued by anything that had to do with the human body.However, they should have been a class for our kind, like the anatomy of a werewolf, I snickered.Once class
I’m a foodie and food makes me happy. One can say that if I was human, I would definitely be a chef or one of those people passionate about food going to other countries like Anthony Bourdain. My body swayed to the music as I read my book, while eating. The book I was reading had me in a trance. I was enjoying myself when I felt the urge to look up. I felt prying eyes on me. I stopped myself from doing so because I was worried it was Christian, especially after the stunt I pulled on him in class. I could get in trouble.All of a sudden, Ivan's aroma engulfed me and he was standing right before me. I look up with food stuffed in my mouth, getting embarrassed that I must probably look like a pig. I pull out an earbud and he chuckles, “Do you mind if I sit with you?” He asked as he stared intently. I shake my head no, not minding his heavenly scent. I quickly chewed my food and swallowed it. I grabbed a napkin to clean my mouth just in case I
When we made it to class, he followed me as I made my way to the back of the classroom. I felt thrilled when he decided to sit next to me. I couldn’t help but glance at him as he prepared for class. It wouldn’t hurt to look, right? He suddenly looked up as if he could sense me gawking at him. I turned around quickly feeling embarrassed that he caught me peeping again.‘Geez what is wrong with me? I’m acting like a dog in heat!’ Zoe was laughing at my remark. ‘Girl we got it bad with this one. He’s so hot though. I wonder how his wolf looks? She sounded flustered. I mentally rolled my eyes. ‘Stop it and control yourself, girl,’ I said.Then that joy faded when Camila walked in. ‘Just my freaking luck.’Ivan saw her walk in and he groaned. She started to make her way to him when she suddenly stopped. She looked at him and she looked upset. Turning around she sat towards the front of the class throwing her backpack on the floor. ‘Did Ivan just mind linking her to sit away from him?’
~Ivan’s POV~I went to my locker and met up with Axel, Jerry, and Camila. I had already warned Camila about being touchy and affectionate with me. She was big time bothered but she knows better than to disobey my commands. No one questions the Alpha.My team is there to back me up, not to provoke me. I care about them and I would defend them with all I have and for that I demand obedience, honesty, and loyalty.Camila looked like sh*t. She wouldn’t even look at me and I’m sure the boys sensed the tension as well.I mind-linked all three telling them to meet me at my car in 10 to 15 minutes since we drove here together. There was someone I needed to see before she left and I needed to act fast.Natalie turned out to be more than what I expected. Whatever happened with her and Camila in the restroom had me curious and I have questions that needed answers.I think she whooped Camila’s a**. The way Camil
~Natalie’s POV~I laid everything down on Evie as we headed home. She was both shocked and silent for a few seconds. “Wow, Natie.” She sighed. “So you have both Alphas in one class? Christian in another, then you have Ivan and Camila in one? Not to mention, you also smacked Christian with your hoodie and you got into a fight with Camila in the restroom?!” Yup, that about sums it up. I glanced at her and boy did the expression on her face have me giggling. She was still processing every single detail of my eventful day.“Goodness Natie, where the heck was I!?” She asked.“Umm, your butt was with a certain hottie, that’s where!” I said point-blankly. She blushed. “So you pretty much whooped Camila’s butt in the restroom? Isn’t she a Gamma Natie?” She said looking surprised. “Yes I did and yes she is.” I simply said, still staring at the road ahead.“Ivan, caught up with me when I was headed to my car and he asked me what exactly happened. He had every right to ask because it was his G
Two weeks have passed since my conversation with Ivan. He became distant and only spoke to me during our first-period class because we were partners.Although I could feel his glare on me in both classes and during lunch, he made sure to make small talk. It hurt.What did I expect when I’m the one who made sure I ‘friend-zoned’ him? I mean that shouldn’t have been a big deal. I thought he wanted to be my friend in the first place. I was only substantiating that friendship. He got the message loud and clear. I just didn’t think it would pain and sadden me. Camila didn’t try anything of any sort and for a moment I thought she was going to behave. She sneered at me every once in a while, but I would just smirk and glare back until she gave up.Christian, however, enjoyed Ivan’s cold shoulders and was more unbearable than normal. That brute was a pain in my a**. It’s like he couldn’t keep away from me and got a thrill out of harassing me every chance he got. Idiot!I added another enemy t
~Ivan’s POV~“What the…” I mouthed when I saw my sexy girl walk into the classroom. She looked so f*cking irresistible with that short skirt and boots. Not to mention her shirt or sweater practically falling off her shoulder making it visible that either she had a strapless bra or no bra at all!I was getting an erection and it felt restrained against my slacks. I noticed that all the guys were staring at her, even our teacher Mr. Garcia was gawking! What the f*ck…was he licking his lips? Christian had his eyes on her and he even had the nerve to get up and fix his hard-on in front of her. ‘F*ck!’ I was pissed. The fact that these d*ck heads were all watching my girl had my blood boiling. Striker was silent.Don’t know if he was planning Christian’s death but I’m sure he was in deep thought. ‘Well we do have to plan his death, but I was imagining all the naughty things we are going to do to Natalie!’ Striker growled.‘I like that…you can say that again!’ I snorted.She sat down and m
Five years later… “Daddy, stop kissing mommy! That’s my mommy!” Blade yelled at Ivan. “I’m going to marry her one day, so stop kissing her!” Ivan gave Blade a smug look, ‘I swear if this kid wasn’t mine…’ Natalie cocked an eyebrow, ‘What Ivan!? What would you do?’ ‘Nothing, baby. Nothing.’ He chuckled. “We can share for now, but you're going to find your mate one day, Blade,” Ivan said calmly. “Nope! Not me. I’m marrying my mommy and you can’t stop me!” Blade smiled, giving Ivan a triumphant look. “Sure kid, sure. We’ll see. I’m gonna remind him of that crap, watch.” An almost 4 year old Valentina was walking up to Ivan, “Daddy! Your home Daddy! My Daddy.” Ivan looked at Natalie, “Well, at least one of them likes me.” Natalie snorted while she was carrying a 1 and a half year old baby Drew in her hands. They were surprised when they found out they were expecting and became ecstatic when she found out he was a boy. She named him Drew Easton Carter. A little version of both his p
I want to thank each and everyone of you for reading my book, Alpha Ivan. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it. I want to also thank my husband and my sister-in-law for believing in me and supporting me during this moment in my life. Never did I think I could write a book. I knew I had a big imagination, but to jot it down on paper was a whole different level. Please leave an honest review. I will work harder on my next following book, River, making me edit deeply. You will love the next book based on a young girl, named River Barlowe. However, after I begin to work on River, I will also try my hardest to work on the next book in continuation of Alpha Ivan, based on their daughter Valentina and the Lycan’s son. I hope to meet your expectations and fantasies because this for me was an amazing journey. Thank you so much again for reading and providing me with your feedback. I hope you enjoy the epilogue and also hope to have you in suspense >:) Love you all! XOXO Liz. S.
~Third Person POV~ 6 months later ***WINTER MATE BALL*** The Dark Forest pack was hosting the Mate Ball this time. It was mid-January and all single males and females of age were to attend. So many were looking forward to this event, eager to find their mates. Most had to understand that if they didn’t find that special someone, it was most likely because they were not of age yet or they couldn’t make it. This is why Mate Balls were important for all single wolves to attend whenever and wherever it took place. Axel, Zeo, Eric, Kendrick, and Tommy were amongst the male wolves anxious to attend. Royal blue, silver, gray, white, and black were the colors of the ball. They truly made it look and feel like winter in the gorgeous hall that was built recently for this event. The white landscape and gorgeous mountain views made this event even more romantic. Without notice, gorgeous women began to stroll in, in their elegant, attractive, stunning dresses and high heels. It was a funny sc
~Ivan’s POV~ **6 months later** After Natalie's last heat, I made sure I’d filled her up with my seed to last for days. Three days later, I detected a faint, light heartbeat. I was the first to notice it. We were both overwhelmed with joy whilst Natalie was sobbing. She was ready to become a Mother. When I first held one of the St. Cloud twins, it made me realize I wanted to be a Father. I wanted my own family. I had the mind of a 40-year-old, even though I was technically only 18. Unlike many young men when they become young Fathers they develop a fear of the unknown, perhaps being a failure to them, not being able to provide, or to build a bond with their child. There could be so many reasons but not for me. When you're an Alpha, you have to mature more quickly than others. So being a Dad was something I looked forward to. My son would soon make an appearance in this world and I couldn’t be any more ready. My girl looked beautiful being pregnant. It was a whole other level of be
~Natalie’s POV~ Summer was almost over. The pack faced the fright of their lives, but so did I. Ivan was put in a coma. When Jax shot him, hitting his chest and abdomen. He missed his lungs and heart, but his intestines weren’t so lucky. Wolves heal from so many external wounds, but when it comes to our organs it’s a different story. Luckily, the doctor in the Dark Forest pack was there to help Ivan. There was no time for X-ray, CT, MRI scans, or blood tests to examine his body. I lost him for a few minutes and it was the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my entire life. Zoe was howling like crazy and I could feel her growing weak. Christian, Nathan, Landon, and other warriors were there to support me. Everyone in the Midnight pack felt the link break for a few minutes too. Easton explained to me that he cried out in pain and so did Leslie. They were beyond scared and heartbroken. Tell me about it. Unfortunately for Riley, he had to face my wrath at that very moment. Nev
~Ivan’s POV~ “You were too nice. I would’ve said, ‘If you like to breathe, then I suggest you stay inside your home or die’, Ivan,” Christian snorted. “Yeah, well…most of these people are innocent and don’t agree with half of the crap their Alpha does. Besides they have kids and it would be heartbreaking if some children lost one or both parents, I speak from experience. So giving them a chance to think about those little ones and their loved ones will make them think twice before joining a fight that shouldn’t be theirs, don’t you think?” He shrugged, “ Meh, I guess you do make a point. I’m not in your shoes so...” It made me smile when I saw wolves running to their homes and shutting their doors. “Do not attack any homes that have their doors closed. Let’s respect those wolves who choose not to fight.” My warriors and the other pack members nodded. There has been so much death lately and those that chose to follow Jax’s orders, like the ones during the attacks that took place in
~Nathan’s POV~ I was on my way to the tree when, ‘Nate, I think I’ll be a little late. Seems I’ve been invited to a party.’ What the… ‘Party!? What, what are you talking about Natie!?’ I responded, but nothing. DAMN IT! Natie! Natie!’ I was yelling through the mind-link, but she never answered. I was confused, did she get caught? The woman was good at knocking people out and pulling weight. Did she want to get caught? She had too, there was no other explanation. I waited a few more seconds. Then I heard them rushing out. “We have a spy in our hands! The Alpha is coming. Take her to the dungeons.” A wolf yelled out. I’m sure he was of authority. ‘F*ck, I don’t think we bugged the dungeons,’ I told Sirius. ‘I think the f*ck not, nut case!’ He growled. ‘Shut the hell up and quit being rude! What do we do? We need to tell Ivan.’ I yelled angrily. I didn’t have time for his smart-a*s remarks and sarcasm. ‘Call him. They have our Luna, our friend, so we need to tell him. They’ll h
When they left, I suddenly got a strong gut-wrenching feeling that things would go sideways. I couldn’t explain it because somehow it felt more like a premonition. I did what any smart person would, be two steps ahead. If I was wrong, oh well, but the important thing is to be prepared for anything. I would bring hell to Jax if anything happened to my girl. So, I called Christian, “Ivan? What’s up? Did something happen?” It was almost 3:30 in the morning. “Christian, I don’t know why, but I'm anticipating that something will not go accordingly. I don’t want to worry you, but my girl and Nate are putting their lives at risk for us all. I think it would be best if you gather your warriors and head over here. I’m going to do the same. Have your Father take over in the meantime, but get over here as quickly as you can. Like I said, it’s a feeling, but you know those feelings are hardly wrong.” He exhaled, “Hell Ivan, I understand. You’re not wrong, it’s better to be safe and prepared tha
~Ivan’s POV~ I was a bit nervous heading to my room. I hated pissing Natalie off, but I wore my emotions sometimes on my sleeve, only when it came to her or Leslie. I couldn’t help it, I once hated Christian but now that I know for sure he is fated to Leslie, I mean come on, it was f*cking obvious. As I walked up the stairs, worried that Natalie was going to kick my a*s for the way I behaved, my phone rang. I pulled it out from my pocket and groaned, it was Christian. Didn’t he just leave a few minutes ago, which by the way I had a warrior watching them from afar. I still didn’t trust him, but he came back saying he behaved like a gentleman. Hard to believe. “What’s up, Christian? Did you forget something?” I asked blankly. “No, I have a question for you. I didn’t have time to ask you alone, so now that I’m on the road, I thought I’d call and ask.” Okay. “Alright, ask away,” I said, feeling curious. “Ivan, how did you know for sure Natie was your mate? I mean how because my wolf
