Ivy
I 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?”
Ivy“They’re so adorable.” I gush as little Stephanie giggles happily, babbling something in her baby language. Ren and Alpha Hunter left to supposedly see the place Alpha Hunter was held at, so Luna Skye invited me to join her.“For now. – Luna Skye chuckles – I’m sure they’ll both grow into little devils.”“How come?” I ask curiously, letting Stephanie play with my hand merrily.“Everyone is spoiling them rotten all the time. At first, I was worried that such attitude will cause them to grow up into brats, but I hope they won’t. Adrian is supposed to be the future alpha and Ruby and I are thinking about training Stephanie for the beta position. Since the pack is so big, there’s usually three betas helping the alpha.”“Already?” I’m honestly surprised. The babies are still very small and they already have their lives chosen
LorenzoHe’s not there.Armstrong’s gone.The only question is: how?Hunter doesn’t remember anything from when he ‘went berserk’ as he called it, and that means he doesn’t know if he actually killed Armstrong or simply injured him. Fortunately, there’s one more person that’s been at the caves.Beast.She might know if Armstrong’s alive. She was there. She must’ve seen him, even if it was for a moment.Hunter and I go back to his pack, heading straight to the alpha’s house in search of Luna Kingston. Maybe she has already finished talking to Lia and Blake. I hope she has, cause this is extremely important.I can smell my mate the moment we enter the house and everything’s left forgotten. I follow the sweet scent upstairs, until I reach a room that’s undoubtedly a nursery, judging by the strong smell of the babies.The sight tha
IvyJake is alive?It can’t be... right?Right?!I can’t help but tense up in Ren’s hold. If Jake’s alive, then it can be really bad.Who knows what he’s capable of.“I’m lost here. Go on a rampage?” Lia asks suspiciously.“If you’re not a born Undead, like me, there’s a high chance you’ll go mad after the transition. It’s much worse for wolves than humans, because they have that other being inside them. Also, due to werewolves being able to heal better than humans and being overall stronger than them, it takes much more effort to turn them into Undeads. One of the ways to do that is to drain their blood and replace it with Undead’s. And here’s the catch. Because werewolves heal at a much faster pace than humans, it takes much more time to replace all of their blood, and during the time they have both Undead and wer
LorenzoAfter the visit at Alpha Kingston’s pack, I drive my sweet Ivy and the lovebirds back to my house, trying my hardest to ignore Lia’s snores in the backseat. She fell asleep the moment she got in the car, and so did Ivy.I can’t wait to do the same.This whole day was exhausting. All I want is to take my mate to bed and go to sleep.I can’t stop thinking about what we’ve all talked about earlier. There’s a possibility that Armstrong is alive and that he’s an Undead. If that’s true, then this is much worse than I anticipated.Not to mention… Alex.Four hundred years! He’s served me for four hundred years! He’s been my friend for FOUR HUNDRED YEARS!!!I can’t believe I was so blind that I didn’t see his true colors. How could I not notice that he conspired against me?! He’s been by my side for
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
