Ivy's POVLife with Gina, our precious newborn, had brought a new level of joy and contentment to our family. Jax and I could not help but feel blessed beyond measure, especially when it came to our twins, Felix and Luna, who took it upon themselves to be amazing older siblings. They doted on Gina, always eager to lend a helping hand and relieve me of some of the many responsibilities that I had as a mother.One evening, as I sat rocking Gina to sleep in the nursery, Felix and Luna approached me with smiles on their faces. It was really amazing how years went by so quickly because I remember when they themselves were babies just like it was yesterday"Mommy, can we help you take care of Gina tonight so you can get some rest? I noticed that you have not really been able to rest today" Luna asked, her big brown eyes sparkling with genuine concern. She looked so like my mother it was insane, the exact same smile, the exact same tender look. I had given birth to my own mother literally w
Ivy's POVI left the office feeling a mixture of excitement and trepidation after my conversation with Wesley, my former personal assistant and dear friend. As I drove home, thoughts raced through my mind about how I was going to break the news to Jax. I knew he wouldn't be happy about me taking on the role of sheriff again, but it was something I couldn't deny myself any longer. My father had been right when he asked me to take over the position from him at the very beginning but I had quit because I needed to sort out the mystery of my parents death and along the way I forgot how it felt to be the sheriff of the town.The sun was setting, casting a warm golden glow over the city as I pulled into our driveway. Jax was obviously not yet back from work so I still had some time to myself before I got to break the news to him.Taking a deep breath, I stepped out of the car and made my way inside, prepared to face the upcoming conversation. Despite the lingering uncertainty, I knew deep d
Ivy's POVBeing the sheriff was an experience like no other. Every day brought new challenges and opportunities to help others in my community.

Thankfully, I had the unwavering support of my partner, Jax. He understood my passion for my work and was always by my side, ready to lend a helping hand.Our children, Felix,Luna and Gina were growing up so fast. The twins had literally taken over raising Gina and they were incredibly perceptive and intelligent, which made them a joy to be around. But their constant curiosity and boundless energy could often leave Jax and me exhausted at the end of the day but even those moments I still craved and loved. I was really in love with my life and all the people who helped me in one way or another to make my life easier.One sunny afternoon, as I was finishing up some
Ivy's POVAs the days turned into weeks, my duties as the Luna and sheriff of our town continued to flourish. With each passing day, I saw our community thrive, and I couldn't be prouder. The days were filled with kindness, laughter, and helping hands extended to those in need.But just when everything seemed perfect, a strange occurrence shook our peaceful town. It all started when Felix and Luna, began having peculiar dreams. These dreams were so haunting that they would wake up screaming, their faces twisted with fear and distress. When asked what they dreamt of, they couldn't recall a single detail. The first night it happened I was in the kitchen making dinner and the nannies had told me the kids were sleeping when I returned from work so I decided to make dinner and wake them up to come take their dinner when I was done. At least so I can have some peace and quiet and I when I was almost done serving dinner at the table, I started hearing screams coming from upstairs and at firs
Ivy's POVIt was the next morning, and the soft glow of the rising sun streamed through the windows, illuminating the cozy kitchen. I stood at the counter, staring at the ingredients laid out before me, my mind entrenched in worry. The clock ticked away, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the gentle sizzling of bacon on the stove. I looked over to the living room and saw that Jax was deep in sleep although I was worried quick the body pains he was going to wake up with as he was sleeping on the couch that was a lot smaller than him.5 am was far too early to be awake, but sleep had eluded me throughout the night. Jax had tried all he could to make me get some rest but I just could not find sleep as I was restless and anxious and I found myself constantly tiptoeing into the children's room, making sure they were safe and sound. Seeing them peacefully asleep, without experiencing any weird dream or occurrence was a relief to me and it gave me a bittersweet solace.As I

My husband Jax and I, along with our three children, had moved on and were living happily in our cozy home.Every morning, without fail, I would wake up early to prepare the kids for school. As a mother, it was my responsibility to make sure they had a good breakfast before starting their day. Felix always wanted pancakes, while Luna preferred cereal. Our youngest, Gina, was fond of scrambled eggs. I loved seeing their sleepy eyes light up as they sat down at the kitchen table, eagerly waiting for their breakfast."Good morning, my little munchkins!" I greeted them with a smile, placing plates of food in front of each of them. "Dig in!"Felix, still rubbing the sleep from his eyes, mumbled a sleepy "Morning, Mom," as he reached for the m

Jax's POVAs days turned into weeks, I found myself torn between two worlds. Each passing moment brought a heightened awareness of the complexities and consequences of my feelings. I couldn't deny the growing affection I felt for Kiara, but I also couldn't ignore the commitment I had made to Ivy.Seeking guidance and a way to untangle the emotions swirling within me, I turned to Kiara, knowing that her kind and compassionate nature would help me navigate the path ahead. She listened attentively, validating my turmoil and reminding me of the importance of honesty and open communication but it was hard to implement all that she said as her, herself was finding it hard to follow her own advice.As Kiara continued to urge me to rethink my choices, I couldn't ignore the growing attraction between us. It was a difficult situation for both of us since Kiara was finding it just as hard to hide her developing feelings as I was. We found ourselves meeting more frequently in the woods, the same

Each day brought new adventures and experiences as we delved deeper into the heart of Serenity Springs.One sunny morning, we decided to embark on a hike through the enchanted forest that surrounded our cottage. The ancient trees towered above us, their leaves whispering secrets carried by the gentle breeze. We held hands as we followed the winding trail, our footsteps entwined with the rhythm of our hearts.

Jax's POVEver since Ivy and I both officially handed the affairs of the town over to our children, I felt like a big weight had been lifted off my shoulders although I still usually went into the office on some days to see how it was going. Truly some habits die had and I was not being to hard on myself because that had been my life for so many years and now that it was time to change things around I was not going to lie and say that it was easy.The twins were managing the affairs of the town perfectly and flawlessly. It was not hard to see that they had really been paying attention to me when I was teaching them the affairs of the town all those summers ago and it was truly remarkable to see how well they had everything under control, both in terms of the overall wellness of the community and the thriving economy. The town's total revenue just kept doing numbers as days went by and it was a delight to witness it. They were truly doing such an exceptional job that it became apparen
Ivy's POVAs the town continued to thrive and flourish under the wise leadership of the twins, harmony and peace prevailed in our community as always and was the overall goal. It was fascinating to witness how they handled even the most difficult matters that arose yet with intelligence and empathy.

Despite their disagreement, they maintained a respectful and calm demeanor, allowing everyone to express their views. In the end, they compromised, incorporating ideas from both sides.

It was as if every lesson their father had taught them over the years had shaped them into natural leaders. Seeing them handle the work effortlessly made me realize that I wasn't needed as much as I used to be. I could take rests now according to my heart's content.Felix, on his own seemed to have an innate ability to foresee any potential issues and find solutions before they even arose. He was meticulous in his planning, always a step ahead of things. Exactly just like his father and it showed in the smooth functioning of our town. The townspeople trusted him implicitly and relied on his judgments in times of need.Jax, although recovering quicker than anticipated, was still unable to work.

Ivy's POVAs Jax continued to heal little by little, it was without say that he needed all the time he could get to heal so as the Luna of the town and his second half,I found myself shouldering the affairs of our small town. Both his and mine and it was a task that required constant attention and decision-making, and it was becoming increasingly draining not considering the fact that I had already completely zoned out of my office chic era and I just wanted to relax and do the things that bring me joy. I mean that was the reason why I handed over everything to Jax in the first place but as we couldn't control fate, here I was again with more responsibilities than I had previously on my shoulders.Yet, I couldn't bear the thought of burdening Jax with my own worries when he was already going through so much. So, I tried to push through, convincing myself that I could handle it all even when I was crushing under the whole pretence because I had to do it for my husband, the kids and the
