Ivy
Ren doesn’t even try to argue with me when I tell him I’m coming with him. It’s either because he knows it’s no use, or because he doesn’t want to leave me alone.
“When do we leave?” I ask him quietly, nuzzling my cheek against his as I lean over him from behind. Usually it’s me being coddled, so it’s a nice change to be the hugger this time. I’m kneeling behind Ren’s back, with my arms wrapped around his neck as I snuggle into him.
“As soon as possible. It’s going to take over twelve hours to get there, so the sooner we go, the better. Why don’t you pack your bag while I arrange the plane, hmm?” Ren suggests, taking my hand from his neck and placing a small kiss on the back of it.
“Okay. And don’t stress too much, everything’s going to be okay.” I kiss his ear, feeling an inexplicable urge to reassure him.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 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
