LorenzoI asked her out. I know it might’ve been too fast, but I just couldn’t stop myself. After millennia spent alone, I finally found my little mate and I’ll be damned if I let her get away.“Someone looks happy.” Alex comments as he works on his laptop. I was unable to wipe the grin off my face the whole way here, so it’s no wonder he noticed the change of my mood. “What happened?”“I found my mate. – I grin when I see his eyes bulge out – And I asked her out.”“Already?!” He shrieks before clearing his throat. “I mean, already? Isn’t that a bit fast? Who is she?” He gives me a skeptical look.“She’s human, that’s for starters. I need to get close to her the traditional way. If I just suddenly told her she’s mine cause she’s my mate, she’d freak out. – I shrug, pouring myself a drink – I met her yesterday.” I smile fondly at the memory of my little mate in that cute little top and jeans.“Yesterday? – Alex trails off confusedly – But you were at the…”“At the club, yeah.” I nod, p
IvyI should’ve known. It was too perfect to be true.I’m so stupid.I put another spoonful of my favorite chocolate ice cream in my mouth, sobbing quietly as I watch the movie. I try to convince myself that the tears that flow down my face are caused by the death scene playing on the screen and not the fact that I was stood up.I glance at the dress I chose for the date with disdain, hating how it’s going to remind me of today every time I look at it. I shouldn’t have believed that a man like Lorenzo would want anything to do with me. He was probably making fun of me, like all the other guys that have ever asked me out.The first guy to ever play with me like that was my crush from middle school. He was so charming and polite when he asked me on a date that I immediately agreed, all too eager to be with him. He showed up, unlike Lorenzo, but the date was horrible. When he asked me if I had fun, I lied, afraid of offending him. Only then did he tell me that it was all fake, laughing i
IvyThe next weeks were quite peaceful, spent mostly with my friends. Lia wasn’t joking when she said she’s not going to leave me alone. Whenever I went out, she was there with me. Today we even have kind of a girls’ day and it’s the best thing ever. I noticed that Lia doesn’t like girly stuff, so we didn’t do anything like that. We went for massages then got our hair done, and then we went to dinner to this cute little bistro Lia recommended.I was genuinely shocked when Lia told me she wants to dye her hair ash blonde, but damn does it look good on her. She had three sessions at the salon, today’s one being the last one.We talked about anything and everything the whole day, getting really close. It's so nice to spend time with someone so genuine and honest. She doesn't beat around the bush or pretend to like something she doesn't. When I suggested going shopping earlier, she straight ot told me she hates it and she'd rather not show me her angry side, saying it might scare me.“Oh
IvyMy whole Saturday is spent studying for the upcoming tests I have next week. I need to revise the material so I can get a good grade. The amount of assignments is overwhelming, but I don’t mind. I’d rather do this than spend another evening watching sad movies and eating junk food.Lia and Blake are with the football team in Los Angeles, where they have a game tonight. But even though they’re busy, Lia still called me to check how I was doing. She’s been doing that all the time whenever I wasn’t with her, mainly because of the situation at the club few weeks ago.I haven’t seen the man Lia beat up again, but it may be because I spend most of my time outside with her and Blake. The fact that they’re being watched by some bikers might also be a reason for my peace.After few hours of working on my assignments my doorbell rings, almost sending me into a panic attack. I know for a fact it’s not Lia, Blake or the guys from the team, since they’re all in a different state, and I don’t r
LorenzoThe few Alphas gathered in the room are getting on my nerves. They keep interrupting the meeting and I have to put them in their place just to be able to continue. I’ve been constantly meeting with the packs for the last weeks due to the difficult situation with recent attacks on them. Almost every pack has been attacked and suffered a great damage.Almost.The Dark Moon Pack, where I am at the moment, hasn’t really suffered, having the strongest army on the whole continent, led by none other than Beast.She and her army of Deads easily dealt with the attackers and even managed to catch a few of them alive. After I visited the packs that didn’t handle their situation so well, I came here to interrogate the intruders.Right now I’m sitting in Alpha Kingston’s office, with his mate, Thea, his son Theo, - I wonder what happened to their firstborn, Hunter - and a few neighboring alphas accompanying us. The men are way chattier than I would’ve liked. I hate having to listen to thei
IvyThere’s only one thing I didn’t want to happen on a sunny Saturday afternoon. It’s the one thing I’ve been dreading happening ever since I moved here.So, of course – it happens right when I don’t want it to happen.Dad calling… I take a deep breath to calm my racing heartbeat then pick up the phone. “Hi dad…” I quietly greet him, sitting on the couch with my pajama clad legs against my chest. I noticed that whenever I talk to my parents, I always curl up on myself to get some… sense of security. Why do I need to feel secure while talking to my own parents? I don’t know.“What took you so long to pick up the phone, Yvette? Are you with someone? Is it a boy?!” Dad demands harshly, making me flinch at the loudness of his voice.“N-No… I was just studying…” I stammer pathetically, like every other time I talk to my dad.“Good.”I bite my lip unsurely, debating on whether to ask the question burning in my mind. “W-Why did you call, dad?”“I’m calling to warn you that I’m on my way to
LorenzoMy heart feels like it’ll beat its way out of my chest as I drive back to Berkeley. It’s been fucking weeks since I was last here and I can’t believe I’d ever say this, but I miss this place. I think it’s because my mate is there.I can’t wait to see her.I’ve been trying to find out why those rogues and humans had the Alpha King’s emblem on them, but my effort was fruitless. Almost every human had their tongue cut off and the wolves didn’t know who was behind the attacks. This is getting really messy.Just as I enter the city, there’s an unsettling feeling in my chest, a heaviness that restricts my lungs to the point of being painful. And I have this uneasy feeling it’s connected to my mate.There’s something wrong with Ivy.I speed through the streets of Berkeley, heading straight to Ivy’s apartment complex, cursing at every slow driver that stops me from reaching my destination. It would be so much faster to just run, but how can I do this in the city filled with people?! I

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
