Ivonne’s POVA knock came at the door but I ignored it, snuggling deeper into the covers instead. I knew it was morning already as natural light filled the room and the birds chirped in the distance, however I wasn't ready to start the day yet.If exhaustion was a person that would be me. Ever since I went to battle with the warriors against the rogues and nearly died from blood loss and severe pains, Tobias had made it his life aim to train me into an assassin.Yes I said it, an assassin. Because I sure knew the intense workout and training he had put me under wasn't just to protect myself or join the warriors whenever problem came up again.He was in no way taking it easy on me as he started to show me his ruthless and stern side. Even the warriors who trained alongside me felt my pain and some even sent me sympathetic looks.Aside from him trying to make me fit for a battle and to protect myself it was no secret he was in a way punishing me for my reckless behavior.‘If you had no
Ivonne’s POVTension cracked in between us, as his blue gazed into my brown. I felt myself being enchanted and for a moment I lost sense of where I was before I cleared my throat and turned away.“Good morning Luna,” Jarvis greeted as he walked in our direction, he and Reed shirtless as the rest of the male warriors, nonetheless my gaze didn't linger on them as it had attention for only one man.“Morning Javis,” I acknowledged. “How’s your eye?”“Our Luna is a petty one,” Reed scoffed at my question while Jarvis rolled his eyes and Tobias remained quiet, his vision shifting between the crowd of warriors who were training in groups and us.“Still don't want to let that slide hmm?” Jarvis taunted, rubbing his left eye. “Your man does throw a strong punch.”“You are lucky I didn't strangle you,” Tobias grunted and I sent him a glare.“Trust me, I was lucky. I expected to be jacked in the air though,” he revealed. “So I'm grateful to the moon goddess that didn't happen. Moreover, I saw i
Ivonne's POVMy fingers graze the heart shaped diamond that rested on my cleavage, every inch of the necklace shining under the light of the room as I faced the floor length mirror.Tobias had stolen my breath away by gifting me the necklace two days ago by the stream. It was a miracle I didn't end up strangling him in a hug as I couldn't contain my excitement at the present.He had put it on me and since then I never dared to remove it for anything. Thankfully it was an original piece that would never get rusted by water or my sweat so I was good to go.After hanging it on me, we decided to stroll on our way back to the pack. I drilled him about when he got it and he said it was during his trip to Australia.He had planned to gift it to me as soon as he returned, however the rogue attack and my health condition after made it impossible and so he had to hold back.I told him I loved it and since then another barrier between us had been removed, bringing us more into each other's fee
Ivonne's POV"Okay darling," I patted his hand and let him go, my eyes fixed on him. "I'm right here.""Better don't move," he warned jokingly and I nodded, our interaction causing a few glances to shift in our path.I lowered myself in the seat, Jarvis and Reed already settled at the table, and we all angled our heads to watch Tobias walk up to the front of the congregation, his movement making everyone pause their movements and the conversation dying down to a small buzz."Here Luna," Jarvis stretched out his arm concealed in a long-sleeved brown shirt he tucked into black ironed slacks I spotted earlier. "Here's your glass of champagne.""Thank you," I beamed and took it, a weird glimpse at Reed who was stuffing his face without a care in the world, a stain on his white shirt. He didn't tuck his into his maroon colored slacks as I could sight it hanging off his side from the angle I was sitting.I lifted a brow in surprise and chuckled as Tobias sent me a wink before morphing his
Ivonne POV.“I'm very sorry to disturb you Alpha sir, but we just rushed the Luna to the hospital right now.” I heard our chief maid—Lora tell my husband on the phone. She thought I was sleeping, but her speaker was loud and I could hear everything they were saying.“Is she dead?” I heard Lincoln ask, as a woman’s voice giggled in his background.My maid gasped in horror. “No Sir! Why would you say such a thing—““Then why the hell are you calling me?!” Lincoln snapped back angrily and the woman in the background laughed louder. I knew that woman’s voice. It was Alison, my husband’s girlfriend. The one he was sleeping with.“I don't have time for that useless woman's games, and I'm not interested in anything that has to do any daughter of a disgusting rogue, but if she dies, please let me know, so I can finally celebrate my freedom. Good bye!” Lincoln snapped before rudely cutting the call.I pretended to wake up and turned to Lora. “Was that Lincoln? What did he say?” I asked.Lora i
Ivonne’s POVI immediately hung up on Alison as my body began to shake with anger.How dare she pick up my husband’s phone? She knew it was me, his wife calling but she didn’t care.She wanted to show off. She wanted to rub it in my face that she was sleeping with my husband. How could she be so shameless and cruel?I had only caught glimpses of her around but had never officially met her before, and I couldn’t help but wonder what Lincoln saw in her?Was she prettier than me? Smarter? Bustier? What did she have that I didn’t?I had loved Lincoln for 11 years! I had given him everything I had! My love, my devotion, my time, my trust and he threw it all away for Alison? The same girl who dumped him for another man?!I closed my eyes and forced myself to calm down. I couldn’t lose focus of the goal here. The goal was to save my mom not worry about whatever two faced skank my husband was fucking.I needed to speak to him face to face. I decided to go home and wait for him.I had to fight
Ivonne’s POV “It’s ok Lincoln.” Alison cooed. “I just wanted to show you how pathetic your wife is. She is so money hungry that she is willing to do anything for it. Is this the woman you are going to stay married to?” Alison hissed. “She is a pathetic gold digger, who can never even bear you a child.” Alison snarled.“Get out of my room you shameless gold digger!” Alison yelled. “My husband won’t give you a penny of our money!”A part of me wanted to argue that he was my husband, but what was the use of that? Instead, I gather the last piece of dignity I had and walked out of the room.But before I got into my room, Alison rushed out of the room and stood in front of me.“Look Ivy, I know I looked harsh but I’m trying to help you here. You act like you’re doing everything to save your mother, but that’s not true. You’re not doing everything yet. Lincoln is not the only man in the world.“What?” I blinked in confusion. I wanted to yell at her and tell her to fuck off, but she was con
Ivonne’s POVWith that thought in mind I stretched back to my full height and folded the check neatly. Squaring my shoulders, I inhaled a deep breath, trying to gather my composure.I wiped whatever little wetness on my cheeks and a made a u-turn, afake smile on my lips as I made my way through the crowd in search of the bathroom.Once I located the ladies sign in front of the door I pushed it open and walked in. Thankful it was empty, I turned on the faucet and leaned on the sink.Alone in that space, any ounce of confidence I had managed to gather deserted me as I faced my reflection, green eyes stared back at me, hollow cheeks devoid of color except for the blush I had managed to apply.My brown wavy hair hung over my shoulders and back, framing the soft features of my oval face. I had once thought myself to be beautiful, however the past few years with Lincoln had made me feel otherwise.Tears I had managed to push back fell from my lids as the events of the past played in my head

The rogue was taken by surprise as it stumbled and slowly got to its feet, taking time to observe its new opponent. My heart pounded as I gazed into its red eyes. ‘Be strong Ria,’ I said in encouragement to my wolf who despite our heartbeat, stood firm and unshaken on the outside. I could feel eyes on me as the noise in the background happened to tone down a bit. My fur shone under the moonlight, automatically calling the attention of everyone in the vicinity. Brushing my nose with my paw, I shook my head as if to rid it off dirt and began to walk in circles as the rogue did same, observing me. “Luna?” Jarvis called from behind me, shock evident in his voice. I sent him a look of acknowledgment and his lips thinned, worry in his eyes as all the rogues happened to gradually discard their opponents and approach me. “Run Luna!” Leonardo shouted the advise but it was a second too late. As my brain tried to put his words into action I felt a weight land on my back, making my steps
Ivonne’s POV“Which is why I’m here to stand in for him,” I declared and all their attention returned to me, a few with eyes wide as saucers in surprise. “As the Luna of this pack there is no way I’ll let my people go into such risky battle alone.”“But Luna, it will best if you stay back,” a voice said from the crowd and a some bobbed their heads in agreement while a few frowned. “Rogues has been known to be extremely dangerous.”“Not only dangerous,” Jarvis chipped in from my right. “The group of rogues which attack this pack have been known to go for the kill.”“They always target the Alpa and mostly don't fight us,” a young blonde haired lady at the front of the line explained. “So going out there is as if you are giving them what they want.”“We aren't just saying this to discourage you,” Jarvis went on to say. “But aside from these attacks, a few assassination attempts have been made on the Alpha’s life, both within and outside the pack premises.”‘That explained why he mostly g
Ivonne’s POV “I had a feeling,” I inhaled briefly and stared into space, the thoughts whirling around in my head about what next to do. “They didn't come alone,” he went on to say and my ears perked up. “How do you mean?” I implored, running my fingers through my brown hair, my feet unconsciously tapping on the floor. “They came with guns too,” he informed and my breath hitched, the gravity of the situation washing over me. “Loaded with silver bullets.” “Where are they advancing from?” I interrogated as I began pacing the kitchen space. “How did they get in? What were the guards doin--” “Luna,” Jarvis called out to me, halting my interrogative session. “Please stay indoors. This is going to be a battle judging from their estimated numbers. The Alpha gave a warning not to let you or any of your maids be in danger.” “Well screw your fucking Alpha and his rules,” I growled in annoyance, my feet coming to a halt as I hit my bottom lip in thought. “Heaven knows I won’t stay id
Ivonne’s POVTobias was returning the next day and I couldn't understand how excited and happy I was feeling. In the few months we had been together it was totally crazy how well I had gotten comfortable with his presence.Even to the point where I missed him in his absence. My feelings toward him had softened and I found myself relying on him as time went on. He was such a strong and stern figure anyone would love to have.It all made sense why his people loved him regardless of how severe and brutal he was foretold to be. However that side of him was a part I hadn't had a pleasure of meeting yet.Dusk had settled in and the night insects creaked in the distance. The song summertime by Benjackson Troy was playing through my phone’s speaker.I was the only one in the house except for the guards who were stationed outside. I had sent Lora and Annalise on a last minute errand. Janetta was close by attending to the flowers while I was in the kitchen.Dressed in only a pair of black loose
Ivonne’s POV I stared backwards through the window as the car rolled away from the airport. It was 6 pm in the evening and Jarvis and I with a few warriors had just dropped Tobias and Reed at the airport.After he had informed me at my office, I had continued organizing the documents till he mindlinked me to come home. I did and to my surprise he asked me to guide him in packing the right clothes.It was crazy how his behavior marveled me each day thus it was always contrary to what I had expected. There were times though he was stern and adamant but most of the time he was kind of carefree and easygoing with me.After packing, it was time to load the car which we did. When we headed to the airport, he had drove I, Jarvis and Reed. Throughout the drive he had given out specific orders to Jarvis and to me, bits of advice which he had said would come handy to me in his absence.Once again, I had the eerie feeling he was being too extreme as if preparing for the worst as he made sure t
