“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
~Angel’s POV~ (Phone ringing) I pushed off the sl*t from on top of me, and she groaned. I reached for my phone and frowned at the person calling me. I answered and told him to hold on. I got up and stepped away making sure the little minx on my bed couldn’t hear. “What is it?” I said through my teeth. “Is that the way to speak to your friend?!” The unknown stranger says. I grunted, “We’re not friends.” “You wound me…(he chuckled). Need I remind you why I’m calling? When are we going to get rid of Styles and his family? I’m getting impatient here. You want to be Alpha, don’t you, and I want part of his land. Isn’t this what we agreed to?!” “Calm the f*ck down. I know what we need and want. I need to get rid of Easton Carter’s family too once in for all! I want his land and pack. You can pick and choose the girls you want from his pack. Unfortunately, that stupid rogue attack was unsuccessful. Amy and Greg were killed. F*CK! Easton’s son is stronger than I thought.” I fisted my le
~Ivan’s POV~ Time sure flew by fast. Today was our last day of school and the first day of our winter break. The bell finally rang signaling 5th period class was over. I slowly grabbed my AP Physics book and other items placing them inside my backpack. I heard the door close and the lock clicks in place, ‘The f*ck…’ I lifted my gaze to the sexy woman smiling and staring at me seductively. Ms. Martinez was f*cking hot and was only 23 years old. She lifted her index finger and curled it signaling me to come over. So I obliged. I was inches away from her when her arousal hit me like a train. Closing my eyes, I inhaled the thick scent. I stood right in front of her waiting for her to make the first move because she was the teacher and I was the student. Striker was a goner. Even though he only wanted Natalie, it’s been a while since we’ve touched, kissed, or f*cked anyone. We were sexually frustrated. Taking the sight of her all in, I claimed her lips. I kissed her desperately and hard
~Christian’s POV~“Is everything ready for the meeting with Landon and Connor?” I asked Zeo.“Yeah…as a matter of fact, your Father said he was running a bit late,” Zeo replied.I found it strange that we were meeting Connor and Landon today on a Saturday. We were on our winter break from school and it was perfect timing before the holidays. Before I became Alpha, Father told me that Connor had requested to meet up with him. He said he needed to come and speak with us on a serious matter.“Okay, well I guess tell Dee to get the table ready for us and our guests.”‘Alpha, they’re here,’ Eric announced. ‘Thanks, Eric.’I walked out of my office and headed outside to greet them. They landed here with their jet. I was told that Connor didn’t want to leave the pack alone for far too long. After what happened to Easton’s pack, it made the other packs edgy making sure they heightened their security the way we did.I don’t think anyone wanted to take their chances on an attack like that. Our
Connor's voice boomed through the walls. “WHAT THE F*CK DO YOU MEAN ANGEL ABUSED HER!!!??” Well, this just jumped to another level. Landon furrowed his brows in anger at my mother’s confession. How could she have kept this from them so long?“I knew it! I told you, Father! There had to be a good f*cking reason for her to leave that as*hole!” Landon yelled. Connor was seething. “She told you this, Summer!?” He asked in a harsh tone.“Yes. She was so scared and she had f*cking scars on parts of her body from wounds that didn’t heal well!” She yelled. My dad rubbed her back to soothe her. “She said she had to leave him because it was too much. She didn’t want to tell you anything because he was your Beta and best friend. Connor, she was so damn afraid, anxious, hopeless and depressed. She didn’t want that for Natalie and she asked us to give her to someone who would take care of her and love her as their own.” She said facing Drew and Iris.“I knew that Iris was having a hard time concei
I walked into the pack house. My parents were there waiting for me in the living area. “Not now. Let me take a shower,” I said, not glancing at them as I walked straight to the stairs. I was still upset about the meeting with both Styles’. After my shower, I headed downstairs and sat on the couch. They both looked at me with concern. “So are we going to do this here or in the study room?” I said blankly. They didn’t move. "Fine," so instead I got comfortable. “Christian…” Mom began, “Son, I’m sorry that I…we never said anything. I didn’t know you felt that way about Natalie until three days ago.” I stared at her stoically with my elbow resting on the arm of the couch. My hand partially covered my mouth as if I was in deep thought. “Connor and Landon were both shocked when they found out about Natalie. They needed to speak to us and her parents about her true identity. Christian, sooner or later they are going to have to tell that animal everything.” She sighed. “However, the
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
