OnyxI keep my mate caged in my arms, taking in her sweet scent greedily. Lorenzo, that damn human, kept me away for too long. I crave my mate as much as he does, yet he still didn’t let me out.Guess what?I’m the one in control now.I will be the one to mark our mate.I will be the one that takes care of her.She’s mine now.“Wolfie?” My little mate asks cutely, making me chuckle quietly. I’ve never been called that, but if that’s her wish, I can be a ‘Wolfie’.“Yes, my queen?”“Queen?” She scrunches her nose adorably as she giggles at the name.“Yes. You’re my mate. That makes you a queen.”“Why?” She implores curiously. I nuzzle my nose further into the crook of her neck, taking in her scent as I speak.“Because we’re the king and you’re ours.” I trace the slender column of her neck with my lips, peppering feathery kisses all over her soft skin. I can hear the change in my queen’s heartbeat and breathing and I growl lowly when I realize she likes what I’m doing to her.“I want to
IvyI wake up in horrible pain and I immediately know Lorenzo’s not with me. The spot he would occupy every night is cold and neatly made. He didn’t sleep here. “Hey girl. How are you feeling?” I turn slowly to the source of the voice, only to be met with Lia sitting in the armchair by the window with a book in her hands.“Were you here all this time?” I ask quietly, turning over to face her. My neck still hurts a little, but I’m feeling better than yesterday.“Yeah. Your man left last night, saying you’re getting into heat and he can’t bear to be here.” She shrugs casually, but only one thing catches my attention. She said ‘your man’. “He’s not my man.” I mumble quietly.“Isn’t he though? You’re his mate and he’s yours. You guys share one soul, as weird as it sounds.” She says as she puts away her book and gets up from her seat. I watch silently as she walks to the closet and brings out a loose thin pajama.“Let’s get you ready for the day.” She smiles when she notices my confused
IvyIt’s so hot! I can’t take it anymore!“Shit!” I hear Lia’s voice as I writhe in agony on the floor. It’s the only spot that’s cool enough for me to lie on. “Ivy? Ivy, it’s me. Jesus Christ, what is this shit…” She mutters angrily, clearly taken aback by the intensity of the heat.I feel myself getting lifted from the floor then put on a soft surface, which quickly gets wet due to my excessive sweating. The thin cotton pajamas Lia put on me didn’t even last an hour and I had to take it off. It was too wet for me to wear. Through my feverish haze I managed to ask my friend to help me put on something else, but Lia only said it’d end up like my pj’s and left me in my underwear. I was quite scared that Lia’s boyfriend will see me like this, but she told me he’s with Lorenzo.Oh god, just the thought of that man causes new waves of heat to surge through my body! I whimper in pain when a strong cramp hits me, making my insides clench in need.I can’t take it!I want it to be over!It’s
IvyBlake must’ve told Lia that I want to go outside, cause barely few minutes after he leaves, she comes in my room and helps me get dressed. Since I’m so freakishly hot, I decide to wear something thin and breathable, not bothering to hide from the winter cold outside.Once Lia is finished dressing me, she helps me get in the wheelchair that Blake has just brought in then wheels me out of the room. It’s only when we reach the stairs that we stop. Blake carries me downstairs then sets me back in the wheelchair before pushing it outside while Lia goes to the kitchen to make dinner.I quietly ask Blake to just take me to the garden in front of the mansion, where I noticed a cute resting space, only getting a short nod from him. Thankfully the stone alleyway that leads there is clear of snow so I don’t have to trouble Blake with carrying me. He and Lia are already doing so much for me.“Do you want to be alone?
OnyxI wake up with a groan, still feeling the effects of that fucking silver in my body. With sluggish moves, I get up from the ground and go to the cell’s door, only to be met with the barrel of a gun.“Don’t you fucking dare!” Lia shoots up from the crate she’s been sitting on and points the gun straight at my head.“Woah, woah, woah. Calm down little human. – I raise my hands in surrender – I don’t want to be shot again.” I calmly back away from the bars. Lia glares at me for a moment before sitting back down on the crate, facing the cell with the gun still tightly clutched in her hand.“One wrong move and I'll put a bullet in your chest, wolf.” She warns, sounding deadly calm.I slide down the wall opposite to the bars, smirking at her intrigued. “How do you know it’s me and not Lorenzo?” I implore curiously.“L
IvyIt’s finally over...The unbearable heat is officially over. When I wake up I feel invigorated and unbelievably happy. I get up from the bed and skip cheerfully to the bathroom, humming to myself.I take a long hot shower and wash myself thoroughly, loving the scent of the new lilac soap Lia bought for me. She sent Blake shopping yesterday, giving him a really long list of things to buy. I’ll have to find some way to pay her back for this. She took care of me for the whole week, doing everything for me with no complaints and I want to repay her for all the kindness she showed me.Once I’m all clean I dress up in the cute flowery dress and a pair of flats then walk out of the room with a joyful spring in my step, heading downstairs, where I find Blake casually prancing around the kitchen.“Hi Blake!” I greet him with a cheerful grin, genuinely happy to see him.“Hello. &nd
LorenzoIt’s been two days since Ivy’s heat ended and I couldn’t be happier. The bond is really strong and Ivy and I have been closer than ever. We’re inseparable. We spend every minute of the day together, whether it’s talking, reading books, watching movies or even me working. Due to the situation with those anonymous attackers, I’ve been quite busy. While I was locked away during Ivy’s heat, Alex tried to find more about the attacks and people behind it.But we’re stuck.All of the attackers were found dead.The only ones that I managed to get were the guys caught by Beast. The only lead I have is the ancient alpha king emblem on their necks.I’m pulled from my thoughts by the sound of quiet giggles coming from the girls. I can’t help but smile when I see them cuddling on the couch as they read something. I’m pretty sure it’s a book about witch
IvyI may complain about Lorenzo’s coddling, but I can’t lie and say there’s anything better than being in his arms. He’s always so warm and he smells good. I love being carried around by him and snuggling into his body. Boy, I’m a creep. Lorenzo takes me downstairs to the living area, effortlessly holding me up with only one arm. Either he’s exceptionally strong or I’m just so tiny. I mean, I know I’m not the biggest person around, being only 5’1” tall, but does it really mean I should be coddled like a baby?Probably.Do I mind?Definitely not.Do I like it?Absolutely.I keep my nose buried in the crook of Lorenzo’s neck, greedily taking in his soothing manly scent. For some bizarre reason, it brings me peace. One whiff and my heartbeat slows down, my breathing calms down and my body relaxes.Lorenzo doesn’
Ivy It’s been a week since the battle against Cornelia, but we’re still dealing with its aftermath. Ren has been extremely busy managing the disappearances, having the biggest issue with none other than my ‘father’.I stayed right beside him as he talked to Cade about it.He told the warrior to fake a car accident in which my parents and I supposedly ‘died’. He said that since my ‘father’ was a public figure, his death had to be public, too. I wondered why I was supposed to die, too, but Ren said that it’s the safest way for me to stay with him without being bothered by paparazzi or anything. That way, no one will suspect anything about my immortality and I’ll be able to start my life with him and Wolfie.Cade contacted some man that specializes in special effect make-up for movies or something and said that he could make three mannequins to look
LorenzoAfter I took my sweet queen to our bedroom, we took a long shower together, washing away both the dirt we got on us and the worries that plagued our minds. The hot water helped my mate calm down and made her quite sleepy, which is why I wanted to put her to sleep.But all it got me was a harsh glare. Ivy did not like the idea of taking a nap. At all.It took all my willpower to not gather her in my arms and kissing her senseless at the sight of her adorable scowl. She’s so fucking cute when she’s angry!Since my sweet queen didn’t want to leave me, I’ve decided to take her with me to the clinic to check on the injured. It’s been an hour since they were brought to the infirmary and I’m worried about them.I’ve never seen Lia heal anyone, so who knows if she can save them…With Ivy’s hand in mine, I walk towards the clinic, throwing a furtive glance at The
IvyI stay in Ren’s arms as he hugs me on the roof, just taking in his soothing presence greedily. I had a suspicion that Cornelia could actually be my mother, but seeing it with my own eyes still hurt.Not to mention the Undead that kept a hold on me earlier.It was my dad.But he didn’t even acknowledge me as he held onto me.Neither of them did.Almost as if I was nothing but a speck of dust.On one hand I’m sad that I meant so little to them in the long run, but on the other… it gave me the closure I so desperately needed.Had my parents had any feelings for me, felt any remorse for trying to use me to bring Ren down, I would’ve thought about giving them a chance. But… since they didn’t do any of that, I don’t even feel bad about them dying.They deserved everything that happened to them.“My love, are you alright?” Re
Third Person POVChoose...Between Blake and Ivy.What kind of choice is that?“Come on, darling, don’t leave us hanging.” Cornelia taunts smugly, casually walking back and forth in front of her captives. As she passes by Blake, she gently caresses his face, making him recoil in disgust. “He’s handsome. It’s actually a pity to kill him…” She chuckles when Lia raises her gun again and points it at her.“Don’t you fucking put your hands on him.” The young human warns deadly, keeping her rifle pointed straight at the witch’s head.“Territorial, are we?”“Touch him again and you’ll see for yourself.”“Lia, calm down. It’s not just about Blake…” Lorenzo tries to pacify the young witch, absolutely terrified for his mate’s safety. One wrong move and his queen will die. Yet
Third Person POVThe King’s allies are waiting anxiously for their enemies to arrive. Aiden, Asher and their group of fifty warriors are in the back of the Alpha’s house, while Ivy, the Kingstons, the Deads and the remaining twenty warriors are in the front, right where an army of almost two hundred men is heading.The alliance has no idea what force they’re about to face, but they’re not worried. With four Undeads on their side, one of them being a hybrid, two snipers on the roof, one of them being a white witch that has acquired powers of her ancestor, and an immortal queen, they feel more powerful than a bunch of rogues and humans that are heading their way.Lia’s reveal about her identity has brought nothing but assurance for the wolves sent to aid the King in the war. They felt that the young girl was not an average human, but it was only after she informed them about her witch ancestry did they u
Third Person POV The war has officially begun when a rogue wolf attacked the house where the King and other alphas have been staying at. He stormed inside, intending to get to Lorenzo’s mate, but his ambush was quickly stopped when Thea got in his way.The Undead Luna immediately stopped the wolf and easily killed him, not even caring about getting any information from him.“Who the fuck was that?!” Lorenzo questions suspiciously, holding onto his mate in pure despair, shielding her from the scene in front of them.“A rogue. I heard him run here…” Thea snarls furiously, panting in anger as she stands over the dead body of the assailant.“Fuck!” The king yells, his voice mixing with his wolf’s as his blood boils in fury.“What’s going on?” The group is quickly joined by the human couple, both frantic with worry. Lia glances around the room
IvyThea’s sons are here? Really?And she’s not even worried?They are her kids!“Really? Those idiots.” Leo grumbles, turning off the stove before he marches to the front door.“Leo!” “Dad!” Thea and Hunter call out after him, following him outside. Ren doesn’t even hesitate and swiftly picks me up then leads me to the front porch, keeping my hand in his as we watch Leo berate his sons.“Are you out of your minds? Coming here when a war is coming? You don’t even have a proper training! How are you going to fight, huh?” Leo scolds his three sons, pacing anxiously in front them as they stand in one line with their heads down.“Dad… we just want to help.” One of them mutters quietly.“Help?! Liam! This is a full blown-out war, not some sparring session with the warriors!”“Leo, stop it
LorenzoAfter Lia revealed her powers and told us about her encounter with Thalia, she went to take a nap, saying that after spending decades with the ‘annoying witch’ she’s even more tired than earlier. As always, Blake joined her, so the only people left in the living room are the Kingstons, Ivy and me.I keep my little mate on my lap as she talks to Skye, playing with her long silky hair distractedly as I digest what Lia revealed.Cornelia is coming. She can control the water element. She has an army of Undeads that she most likely created with Ulrich’s blood. Ivy’s parents are not her parents. It’s quite likely that Cornelia is also Ivy’s mother, which makes all of this even more complicated. I don’t know how close my little queen is with her mother and how will she take her death.Because I don’t plan on sparing the witch. She’s going to die no matter what. I’m only wo
IvyHoly crap! Lia is literally the most mysterious person I’ve ever met! Just when I thought nothing could surprise me, something comes up.“Wait… if that Xan…, whatever her name is, was Thalia’s ancestor… then isn’t she also your ancestor?” I wonder out loud, getting a quiet sigh from Lia.“Yeah. – she breathes out – But that doesn’t mean I’m going to follow their plan to kill Lorenzo. I mean…Thalia said in my dream that it’s supposed to be my duty or whatever, but I think holding grudges for ten generations is just petty. Like, okay, I get being mad, but not for this long. Lorenzo may have killed Xanthe, but his action was justified in my opinion. Xanthe cursed his father with a beast and immortal life then split his soul into two. She deserved what she got, so telling her descendants, specifically those who share the
