A werewolf is destined to have a soulmate. One that you’ll have an intense connection with, your other half. You feel deeply drawn to that person. For us wolves we get hints, but for some reason, Alphas get those signals stronger than others.I believe Striker when he says, Natalie belongs to us. He says it with such affirmation. So far with Natalie, there is mutual respect and understanding. I feel this sense of comfort with her like no other. When I touch her or when I’m near her, it feels right and natural. The tingles are probably part of that and the way our hearts beat for each other, makes it more suitable.However, when another male, especially an Alpha, is after your girl, you’ll find that it brings an uncontrollable possessiveness and jealousy within you. For us Alphas, we get a hormone-fueled territorial behavior, an instinctive need to assert dominance over his mate, his girl.He began telling me that there was a ‘warrior tryout or tournament’ that took place on Saturday a
Two f*cking weeks have passed. I’ve been miserable without her in my life. Not seeing the attractive rare beauty, the smell of her delicious scent, and the feel of her soft skin. Striker has been in a foul mood as well.I’ve been snappy with everyone finding it difficult to control this emptiness. Camila has kept her distance and I appreciate that. School hasn’t been the same without Natie and it doesn’t take a blind eye to see that Christian has been feeling the same way.The jacka*s seems to take out his anger on others and it pisses me off that he is acting this way when he’s the f*cking reason for Natalie's absence. F*ck face still thinks she belongs to him.I haven’t been performing well during my basketball practices and games due to my crummy state of mood. It's even affected my academics. Even at home, Dad has noticed my dark glowering disposition.Leslie, my sister, tries to cheer me up but there is nothing and no one to snap me out of this dour state. Only Natie can change t
It was Friday night and I was in bed about to enter a serene state of mind. Tomorrow we had a meeting with Alpha Styles and his son Landon. I was about to close my eyes when Jerry startled me, ‘Ivan, are you asleep?’What the hell? ‘No, but I’m in bed trying to do exactly that. What is it?!’ I asked.I then heard a soft knock on the door, ‘It’s me, let me in, I have crucial information to tell you!?’ He whispered-yelled.I got up and put on my basketball shorts and opened the door. “Dude…do you know what time I have to get up tomorrow?” I asked as I yawned and rubbed my face up and down irritated.He walked in, “Well make yourself at home.” I rolled my eyes, shaking my head. “What Jerry, what is it?” His mannerisms triggered my wolf and I suddenly became concerned.“So remember we talked about Beta Taylor's estranged wife?” “Yeah, what about her?” I sat down on my couch.“Dude, he killed her when he captured her. Apparently, she never told him about their daughter’s whereabouts and h
We walked into the dining room and Connor sat at the head of the table while Landon and Angel sat next to him on his right side. Dad, Raul, and I sat on the left side, Raul sitting next to me. Dad was across from Landon and I was sitting across from Angel. Angel smiled slightly, but I didn’t return the gesture. His face then became impassive glaring at me. I couldn’t pretend to be nice to this fool after learning what he did to his mate. I don’t condone violence on women unless she is a rogue and they are trying to kill you. There had to be a damn good reason for Natalie’s mom to leave him. A mate just doesn't get up and leave without logic. Connor cleared his throat causing me to drive my eyes away from Angel. “So Ivan, have you found your mate yet?” Connor asked. “No sir,” I simply replied. “He hasn’t but he thinks he has an idea of who she is. Isn’t that right son?” Dad said arrogantly. Seriously!? The nerve of my Father sharing my business. I gave him a side glance and fist
I was running so fast that I could hardly feel my paws hitting the ground. I ran through the hills covered by thick forest, gliding past the trees as they became a blur with only one focus on my mind…get there faster than a speeding bullet, there was no time to waste.The closer I got to town, I could feel the connection to all my fellow pack members. But then there it was…individual links breaking due to their sudden death. Striker howled.The moment I set foot there, the scene was something you saw in a war movie. Blood, body parts, and organs from our pack members and rogues everywhere. My heart thundered in my chest.‘MOM, LESLIE, AXEL, JERRY, CAMILA, ANSWER ME!’ I yelled through the pack link.Landon and the warrior running with me started fighting. I ran inside the pack house searching for anybody when a black wolf hit me on the right side of my torso. I got right back up on all fours and lunged forward, ripping his neck out. I helped other warriors fight off rogues making my wa
“Nothing is permanent. Everything is temporary just like the people in our lives, our thoughts, our emotions, and our pain. There is a saying that the only thing permanent is love because the love in your heart will last forever…” I cleared my throat because even swallowing at this very moment has become difficult for me to do.“Each and every one of you has lost a loved one…a mate, a child, a friend, a sibling, a parent, and most importantly…” I took a deep breath, “...your Luna.” Everyone gasped. If people weren’t crying before, they now joined the rest of the pack. Heads bowed down and they all began to get on their knees. My mother was theirs as well. She was the Mother and the heart of the pack.Camila told me she fought hard, but there were too many rogues to fend off. Camila and Jerry are damn good fighters so I know they fought vigorously. They loved my family as their own. She had such a close relationship with her and loved her like a mother. She had also lost her mother, L
I ran as fast as I could. Landon followed. People were puzzled by my abrupt behavior but then noticed that our pack members started to howl. I mind-linked Axel telling him to take over and to announce to the visitors that the Alpha was awake and that he just found out his mate was dead. The moment I got there, I came to a room filled with chaos. My Father’s cry was excruciating. I’ve never heard him wailing in such anguish and grief. I ran to his side reaching for his arms. He had already fought off some warriors and the doctor. I shook my head and yelled out “FATHER!” He looked up and the pain in his eyes was visible. It hurt to see him this way. “SON! PLEASE…PLEASE TELL ME IT’S NOT TRUE! SAY IT!!!” He shouted, gripping my shirt. The tears flooded racing down his cheeks. My heart clenched. I gathered myself and looked him in the eyes. “Father…Mom…she’s gone. I’m so sorry, I didn’t make it in time.” The trepidation overtook him and he let out a deafening howl. This was my firs
~Landon’s POV~Thanksgiving was tomorrow and I wasn't looking forward to the family gathering. People were hurting elsewhere and it only made this holiday sad. I thought about Ivan’s pack and how depressed the upcoming holidays were going to be without their loved ones. It’s not fair to lose someone because of others' villainous intentions. Not all rogues are bad, but those that chose not to care anymore and not give a damn about the lives of others, they’re the ones we need to worry about and get rid of. Even humans become victims of their attacks.My stepmother was getting the food prepared early, making sure she was ahead of schedule. I guess it was better to be safe than sorry. She had plenty of help though making it easier for her. She has a kind heart and the omegas love her."Hey bro, you ok? I've noticed you haven't been the same since the attack at the Midnight Pack," Remi asked. I was sitting in the living room staring at the wall. I guess I zoned out.I exhaled, "I'm okay
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
