Ivy
I 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’
OnyxI keep my little queen curled up on my front paws, hidden under my head so the cold doesn’t reach her. I’m just content with having her with me. We’ve been staying like this for a few hours now and I couldn’t be happier. I love having my mate with me.Though I’m not sure I appreciate being called 'pretty'.“Wolfie?” Ivy tugs at my fur and I raise my head, nuzzling my nose into Ivy’s neck lovingly.“I wanted to ask you… though I don’t know how you can answer me… - she mumbles - Um… Could Lia maybe stay here for longer? She said that she and Blake are going to leave soon, since I’m all better now, but I’d like to convince her to stay for a while. She knows my past and I thought she may be able to tell me more about myself and help me get used to all this…” My little queen rambles cutely, as if afraid of my reaction.
IvyThe moment I open my eyes, I feel a smile appear on my face. With a happy sigh, I turn over in search of Wolfie, only to feel cold empty sheets under my hand. My mood instantly dampens when I realize Wolfie left me alone.With a heavy sigh, I get up and go to the bathroom. I can’t help but laugh when I see the cutesy message on the mirror. I take off the note with a smile and read it. ‘Good morning, my Queen. I hope you rested well. I had something to take care of, but I’ll be back soon. Love you ❤ Wolfie’ Aww, he’s so sweet!I can’t help but grin when I see the two magical words on the little piece of paper. Love you. He loves me? Really? Already?“I love you too, Wolfie.” I whisper, pressing a small kiss to the note. I’m gonna keep it forever.I put the little note in a small treasure box I got from Lia when she came here then go dow
LorenzoIt’s been almost a week since I went to see alpha Kingston to announce his punishment. Ever since Ivy and I went to their pack, my little mate has been a bit… detached. She’s quieter, more reserved… and it’s worrying me.Tomorrow we’re supposed to have a meeting with alpha Davis and the Kingstons, namely Leo, Beast and their hybrid son, regarding the recent attacks. I have asked Lia and Blake to accompany me and Ivy there, since I have a feeling they’ll be able to provide us with a new insight on the situation. They don’t have the same perspective as us on this. Maybe we overlooked something, maybe there’s something we’re not seeing here…I glance curiously at what my little mate is doing, only to see her completely engrossed in a book about the history of werewolves that I had written centuries ago. Every once in a while I have it rewritten so it’s
IvyI couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the bedroom.The candles and rose petals are nice, but the rope and handcuffs are fricking funny. I also noticed a note on the bed, but from where I’m at I can’t see what’s written there.Ren seems to be caught off guard by my friend’s gesture. He stands completely still, with me held up against his chest. I barely stop myself from laughing at the expression on his face. It’s like he can’t decide whether he should cringe or laugh. His eyebrow keeps twitching cutely as he glares at the stuff on the bed, so I kiss it softly.My sudden move pulls him out of his stupor and he pulls me even closer to his chest and buries his face in the crook of my neck, licking my mark playfully.“That witch will pay for this.” He grumbles in annoyance.“I think it’s sweet. – I giggle – She even left a note.” I glance at t
LorenzoI watch my little mate as she sleeps peacefully, just caressing her small face lovingly. I can’t get over the fact that she’s officially mine now. There’s no way to describe the way I’m feeling right now. Happiness seems to shallow, elation - too weak, euphoria – too abstract… Bliss? Maybe.All I know is that I’ve never felt like this.After thousands of years, my heart is finally at peace. My soul is completed. My life has a purpose.Ivy groans quietly in her sleep as she turns over and I can’t help but chuckle when she sleepily hits my face with her hand. She’s so precious.I take her small hand in mine and press a loving kiss to it before I lay it on my chest. My sweet mate.“Mmm…” She moans sleepily, snuggling closer to me. I frown worriedly when she starts whimpering in her sleep as she shakes in my arms.“Ivy? &
IvyThis is a really messed up situation. I literally have no idea what’s going on right now.Lia has just told us that the guys that bothered us at a club the night I first met Ren had the same tattoos as the men that launched the attacks on the werewolf packs few months ago. That can’t be a coincidence.The moment Ren sees the pictures on Lia’s phone, his whole body goes rigid and his arms tighten around me as he growls in fury. I carefully put my hand on the nape of his neck and gently rub it with my fingers. When I see that it barely has any effect on him, I lean up to give him a peck.And it works! Of course he wants a kiss. Ren squeezes me tightly in his arms and buries his face in my hair, inhaling deeply. As much as it’s a little embarrassing to have him do that in front of others, I know Ren needs to calm down to deal with this rationally. We can’t let our emotions get the best of us
Thea/BeastAs soon as Lorenzo snaps, Leo and I are spurt into action. We’ve seen what a feral wolf can do, so we know what to expect. In a split second, I’m in front of the humans, shielding them from Lorenzo, while Leo and Brian protect Ivy.“Damn, he’s mad…” The human girl, Lia, comments casually, almost as if she’s not even a bit afraid of the mad wolf in front of her.“I guess he figured it out.” Blake adds. How are they so calm right now?!“Ren, please, look at me.” Lorenzo’s mate, Ivy, pleads quietly as he paces furiously around the room, growling loudly. It quickly becomes clear to everyone that even Ivy can’t calm him down, which is disconcerting a bit, since there are two humans and babies in the house.“That fucking traitor! – Lorenzo snarls furiously – How fucking dare he?!”“What traitor?&rdq
LeoRelated? My Angel and Lia?Well, that’s not impossible, seeing how similar they are, but… Why would those humans think that?After hearing that shocking revelation, Angel and I decide to talk to Lia and Blake without an audience. We leave the King and his mate with Brian, Hunter and Skye, who offered to introduce the youngest generation to the Royals.Angel and I lead the humans outside, intending to take them to the dock by the lake, where we’ll have the most privacy to talk freely. But the moment we step out of the house, we’re surrounded by some of Hunter’s pack members as they stare at Lia, inhaling the air greedily.“Fuck she’s so sweet.” One of the warriors growls hungrily, making me tense as I step in front of the human girl.“My wolf is going crazy.”“Oh goddess, just look at her.”“Who is she?”
IvyRen doesn’t wait even a moment before following Thea outside, with me glued to his side. I sure as hell am not leaving him alone right now.We head far into the back of the property and enter a small building then go down two flights of stairs into the basement. Colin and one other guard open the heavy steel door for us and we enter the dungeon-like space, with empty barred cells on both sides of the small hallway. Ren leads me to the far end of it, where we find Thea pacing anxiously.“Took you long enough.” She grumbles in annoyance before turning to Alex.“Some of us don’t run a mile a second, Thea. – Ren mutters, rolling his eyes – Though I didn’t think you’d actually wait for us.”“I have a feeling I’m going to kill him if he pisses me off, so I need you to stop me if that happens.”“Like I would be able to.” Ren
Third Person POVCade watches as the two humans study the book in Lia’s hands, occasionally checking on Alex as he lies on the bed next to his. It’s been over two hours since he started giving Alex his blood, along with two other guards, but there’s still no improvement.If anything, it seems to have gotten worse.“Why don’t we go get something to eat? It doesn’t look like anything’s happening…” Blake suggests after a while.“Can you bring me something? I’d rather stay here to watch over him.” Lia glances at her man over her shoulder, getting a smile from him before he kisses her softly and carefully gets off the bed.Once Blake is gone from the clinic, Cade turns to the human girl. “I don’t think your treatment helped. – he tells her seriously, disconnecting the tube from his arm – He’s starting to stink.”“Sti
Ivy ‘Stay in the house, my love. We’re coming back.’ I hear Ren’s frantic voice in my head and I immediately go rigid.“Ren is coming back. I think something’s wrong.” I tell my friends, panicking slightly.Before Lia or Blake can even say anything, Cade and Vince storm inside and take a protective stance in front of us, shielding us from the door and window.“What’s going on?” Lia questions suspiciously.“They found Alex. – Leo says as he gets up from his seat and goes to the front door – They’re bringing him in.”Alex?! They found him? I’m on pins and needles as I wait for my Ren and Thea to come back, nearly bursting in anticipation. I catch Hunter and Leo walk outside, but I’m stopped from following them by none other than Skye.“Trust me, it’s better if you
Onyx Lorenzo kept me away for way too long. Technically, Ivy is already ours, but I still wanted to claim her myself, which is why I couldn’t let my chance pass when it finally came.I was afraid that I would be too rough with our mate, but she seemed as eager as me, reciprocating my passion with equal fervor.Though I still wore her out. After taking my woman over and over again, she fell asleep from exhaustion with a satisfied smile on her face. Had it not been for her having our abilities I would’ve been worried about hurting her, but I know she’s already healed and she won’t be even sore once she wakes up.I hope she wakes up soon, I can’t wait to see her gorgeous chocolate eyes and sweet smile. It’s been so long since I was alone with my queen and I want to cherish every moment I get.Keeping my queen in my arms, I trail my nose over her slender neck, peppering feathery kisses
IvyThe house that supposedly belongs to Jake is nothing like I expected. I don’t know why, but I honestly thought he lived in a dark, scary castle with dead trees around it, not a beautiful mansion with a gorgeous, although neglected, garden. This is really shocking.I keep a tight hold on Ren’s hand as he leads towards the house, trying my best to not cringe when the men guarding the front door bow in greeting. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this. Whenever Ren and I meet some wolves, they immediately bow down to us. It makes me really uncomfortable and embarrassed.Ren and I wait for the others to join us then go inside the house, heading straight to Jake’s office for whatever reason. I’m not sure what we’re looking for, but I trust Ren’s judgment.Once we’re inside, my man immediately gestures at everyone to take their seats at the long table, not even minding the
LorenzoI notice my little queen rub her forehead tiredly as she thinks about everything that was revealed over the last few hours.“Tired, my love?” I ask her worriedly, getting a quiet sigh in response as Ivy leans her head against my chest.“Not really… It’s just so overwhelming. So much is happening and we still don’t have any answers.” She murmurs quietly and I rub her back comfortingly.“How long till we land?” Thea asks curiously.I check my watch quickly. “Almost two hours.”“Do you have any transport arranged to get us from the airport? I’m guessing we’re not running all the way to the pack.”“I do. I already talked to Cade. He’ll get some men to pick us all up from Hotchkiss. I have my private airport there.”“You have private airports all over the country, so I’m not
IvyI don’t know when I fell asleep, but when I wake up I’m still in Ren’s arms on the comfortable bed on the plane. I snuggle closer to him, taking in his comforting scent. After hearing what Lia found out, I can’t help but be anxious.My mom is most likely the witch that wants to kill Ren. Then who’s my dad? If he was on it too then surely he must know about my mother’s real identity.No wonder they were pushing me to marry Jake. They were planning on getting me marked by him just so Ren would be weak.Where do I go from this?How do I get over the fact that the people I thought to be my parents were just keeping me for the sake of hurting the man I came to love?“What are you thinking, my love?” Ren asks quietly, stroking my hair in a soothing manner.“Who am I, Ren? Everything I’ve known was a lie, a conspiracy to kill you…” I w
LorenzoIvy stays snuggled into me as she talks with Skye. I’m so glad she found a new friend that she can connect to. Since the girls are quite close in age, they might be able to spend many years together, centuries even.I saw Beast, sorry, Thea give Lia some book before the young human left to read it in peace in one of the bedrooms. It’s been a few hours since she left and I can tell that Blake is on the verge of blowing up. The longer he spends without his girl, the more agitated he is. Their connection is as admirable as it is weird.I feel my body tense up when I hear Lia crying in the bedroom before she rushes back to the rest of us, with her face stricken with tears and her body shaking terribly.Blake is the first to react. He shoots up from his seat and pulls his girl into his arms, letting her cry into his chest as he holds her.“I know everything! Everything!” Lia cries o
Lia The moment we entered the plane, Thea asked to speak to me privately. Judging by her tone, it must be serious, so I didn’t say anything and simply joined her by the window.“I brought something for you. Well, Aiden did, but I was the one that asked him to get if for me. – She gets a small old-looking book from her backpack and lays it on the table between the seats – I believe this belonged to Thalia, but I can’t read it. I thought that maybe you, as a witch, can see what’s inside.”“What do you mean you can’t read it?” Blake questions quietly.“It’s not that I’m incapable of reading things, I'm not illiterate. I mean that I can’t read it because all I see are blank pages. It’s almost as if something is protecting the contents from being seen.”“And you think I will be able to see it? I don’t know anything
