~Natalie’s POV~ My freaking mate is punishing me. ‘Well, screw him. I’m going to make him wish he never said those words!’ I whispered-yelled at Zoe. ‘You better wear skimpy clothes and make him wish he never opened his mouth.’ She snickered. ‘Oh, you bet your a*s I will! I’ll go ask Camilia if I can borrow a skirt or two. Her’s are shorter.’ I giggled. ______ I knew my man would be in the field training, so I ran out there. Oh, I knew what I was doing, and I was going in a short skirt with boy shorts under. I wanted to piss him off but not anger the man. As soon as I stepped in front of the guys training, they froze. I saw jaw drops, I even heard some moaning. Ivan growled, “Everyone, turn around!” I looked at him and sneered. “What’s going on?” I acted all innocent. “What the f*ck, Natalie!? Are you trying to get my men killed!” I gaped and stepped towards him. “I don’t know what you’re talking about and calm the f*ck down. I’m here to train,” I said nonchalantly. He reached
~Ivan’s POV~I felt disappointed in myself this morning that I didn’t get to say good morning or goodbye to my girl. I was trying to make sure Evie got Natalie out of the house without her suspecting anything. Who better than to take her out shopping and have her discreetly get her nails and hair done?At first, she looked at me as if I had three heads, “Are you serious? Do you not have any idea who Natie is, Ivan? She loves shopping for workout clothes, but nails and hair?! She’s never gone to a salon.” She puffed out.She hasn’t? Well, that’s a first. “Come on, Ev’s!? I’m not asking as your Alpha, but as your best friend's mate, soon-to-be husband. Can you try, please?” She smiled and giggled. “Awe my Alpha is begging me?”I gave her a stern look, “Ev’s,” I warned. “If not for me, then do it for her.”“Fine, I’ll try.” I hugged her and then released her when I heard Jerry growl. “Calm down jacka*s!” Evie blushed and hugged Jerry, “I’ll be back, hunk. I’ll miss you, baby, you better
~Ivan’s POV~ I was so f*cking anxious. While everyone else was chit-chatting and laughing, I was a nervous wreck. I looked around making sure everything was in place, that every candle was on, that the lights were all twinkling, f*ck I was edgy. It’s not every day you marry the love of your life. All of a sudden, her scent hit me. Strawberries and vanilla. My heart began to pound against my chest. The second I saw her, everyone zoned out. It’s as if it was just the two of us alone outside. The beauty in front of me looked f*cking breathtaking. Damn, her gown was so gorgeous. Evie did a great job choosing it. It fit perfectly wrapping around her curved, toned body. The neckline was visible showing a good amount of cleavage. My eyes roamed her entire length. A rumble came from my chest, ‘Ours, all f*cking ours.’ Striker uttered under his breath. Her long black hair was down in soft waves. She looked flawless. I missed her so much, and even though I had her this close, it still wasn’
Spring is a time of rebirth, renewal, and awakening of all living things, but Summer…Summer is sultry and tropical weather. Blue skies with the golden sun shining high above. Enjoying longer daylight hours, letting the sun boost our mood.Soon we would graduate from school and boy were we ready. We had a pack to govern. Mom was doing a bit better. Easton seemed to help her cope with her depression. It took a toll on my Mom, going through a rollercoaster of emotions. We all helped, but it was his care and experience that sustained her sanity and eased her pain. When he lost his wife, he endured the process and who better to help than someone who has gone through losing a mate?I couldn’t help but also notice the way Easton would stare at my Mom. Every once in a while he would make her laugh and when she did, his eyes would have a gleam of some sort that I couldn’t decipher.Ivan noticed the same thing. Mom and Easton were one topic, but what I couldn’t get over was something I discover
‘Ha! Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so!’ I mind-link my sexy man. ‘Now baby, we both know you weren’t going to hate telling me that. Landon looks pissed,’ he chuckled. ‘He’ll get over it. He needs to send some more wolves to Alaska. Anywho, I told you so!’ ‘Alright smart a*s, I get it,’ he retorted. “Look man, how am I supposed to control or know who the hell the moon goddess fates? Huh, how?” Ivan told Landon. “Shut up. Whatever.” Landon rolled his eyes. Nathan was going to have to stay here with us since Camila was our Gamma. ‘Hellz yeah! Nate is with us!!!! Yay!’ Zoe celebrated jumping up and down. He has become a great friend and I was so happy. “So, what is this meeting about? Jerry didn’t you want to talk about the other pack involved?” I questioned trying to change the subject. Connor walked in, “Oh hey, sorry…Landon left me behind because dumba*s over here (pointing at Nathan), started growling and became agitated. I’m guessing he found his mate?” He snorted wh
~Christian’s POV~ We finally graduated and it was the best feeling in the world. Taking over my pack completely was another. Those two were at the top of my list of accomplishments. Unfortunately, making Natalie my Luna was a failure and I had to be okay with it. I did miss her and wanted to see her. It was hard and sad not to see Drew or Iris anymore. My parents were bereaved about Drew’s death and Iris leaving to be with her daughter. My Mother and Iris had become great friends as the years went by. They both showed up to Ivan’s pack to say their goodbyes. A few warriors went as well even though the whole pack was sad and upset about his death and wanted to be there. However, I couldn’t risk leaving my pack unattended. Instead, we held our farewell ceremony for him. Natalie joined when I video called her. Iris couldn’t join. She was still mourning and it would make things worse. Natalie promised to show her when she was better and stronger to handle it. A part of me wished Iris
I was five minutes away from Ivan’s pack house, nervous as heck. When I called him this morning, he was surprised. He didn’t sound bothered, but I could tell he was stunned by my phone call. I’ve never called him, only during that time when Natalie disappeared. I don’t know why I was worried about his reaction.When he asked why I was calling, I responded telling him I wanted to see and talk to Leslie. He was silent for a few seconds. I could hear Natalie asking him who he was speaking to. When he explained, she took over the call putting me on speaker.She was so cute saying she was glad to hear from me. Ivan growled, but I guess I would’ve acted the same way if she was my girl. I told her that I wanted to see Leslie. She squealed and said, yes, that I was more than welcome to come and see her. I’m guessing she smacked Ivan on the arm or chest because he cleared his throat and said it was fine.He added stating that he also wanted to talk to me about the other pack involved in the at
We headed to the pack house hand in hand. Ivan was waiting for us. He stared at our hands entwined with each other. I didn’t release because I had assured him I wouldn’t hurt his sister. “What’s up, Ivan? You didn’t give us enough time, what is so urgent that you interrupted us? Do you want me to tell Natie–” Ivan frowned and cut her off, “No Les. I’m sorry, something came up and since Christian is here, it is urgent because I’m sure he wants to be involved too.” He looked at me and I knew that look. It was about the other pack. “Hey Les, it’s okay, beautiful. It must be really important. I’m sure he wouldn’t interrupt us knowing Natie would kick his butt.” I chuckled and Ivan growled, “You say that, but if Natie was your mate, you’d probably be worried about pissing her off.” He sounded irritated. “But she isn’t Ivan, so…” I was shocked at Leslie’s tone. Was she jealous? I felt giddy. “I promise once we are done talking you guys can go back to ‘talking’,” he emphasized the word ‘ta
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
