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
Ivy's POVLife had finally settled into a peaceful rhythm for my family. After the terrifying ordeal with the spirits that had tried to possess our sweet twins, Felix and Luna, we were grateful for the calm and normalcy that had returned to our lives. 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 the minutes ticked by, the spiritual battle intensified. I could sense the spirits resisting, fighting their inevitable expulsion. But I refused to surrender. I stood tall, my heart infused with unwavering love and the firm belief that we would emerge victorious.With each passing moment, the strength of the negative forces diminished, their grip weakening. The room was now infused with a warmth and tranquility that seemed to emanate from within my very being.Kiara, her eyes glowing with determination, persisted in her incantations, her voice unwavering. Her unwavering commitment and skill brought forth a surge of positive energy, pushing back against the darkness.As the ceremony reached its culmination, a brilliant beam of white light burst forth from the center of the room. It illuminated every corner, dispelling the shadows and driving away the malevolent spirits that had wreaked havoc on my family.As the light enveloped me, I could feel the presence of Ivy and our
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
Ivy's POVAs the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, I found myself standing at a crossroads. My marriage with Jax had been put through a tumultuous ordeal with the almost betrayal of my right-hand woman, Kiara and her affair with Jax. The wounds were deep and the trust had been shattered. I would have never imagined that Jax and I would experience an issue like this in our marriage and with no person other than the woman I had grown to trust and taken as my best friend but deep down, I was willing to make it work again, for the sake of our children and the love we once shared. I could not risk my children growing up in a dysfunctional family especially when the already have a taste of what a happy family feels like. This was for my children and maybe myself because I don't think I can take the heartbreak.I would put on a brave face whenever I saw Jax, pretending that everything was fine, but deep inside, I couldn't deny the pain I felt. My heart felt so heavy a
Ivy's POVLife was going smoothly, or so it seemed. The wounds inflicted by Jax's betrayal were healing, but I couldn't help but admit that a lingering thread of mistrust continued to haunt me. As much as I wanted to restore the trust in my husband, there were times when my mind spiraled into doubt. Times where I suspected that instead of being at work, he was with some other woman elsewhere having the time if his life and remembering how he was before we even met did not help my situation at all. My trust issues were on the high and no matter how hard I tried, it was hard to tame it and it all started one evening, as I came back from work and decided to rest before I started making dinner. I was sitting on the couch and as the sun began to set, I found myself unable to resist the temptation of checking Jax's phone. It was a habit I'd developed over the past few months—a secret indulgence that left me feeling guilty and conflicted. Silently, I crept into our bedroom, my heart pounding
Ivy's POVEverything was going so well. Jax and I had just returned from a much-needed trip to reconnect and work on our relationship. It was exactly what we needed to fix our differences and continue building a healthy family together. We had settled back into our normal routine, with me going to work and Jax doing the same also.Being a mother to twins and Gina was challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. As time went by, my little bundles of joy had grown so big, and seeing them hit their various milestones brought me immense joy. However, it hadn't always been smooth sailing. It took time, patience, and countless sleepless nights to get to this point and to be quite honest most times it felt like I was singlehandedly raising them because Jax was not really doing as much as I was but at least he was trying his best to balance his work and his family and I was thankful for that but I was still exhausted and I revelled in the fact that two opposing things could be happening at the same
Ivy's POV As I stood in front of the mirror, my fingers grazing the delicate lace of my wedding dress, a rush of emotions swept through me. Today was not just any ordinary day; it marked a significant milestone in my life, a moment of redemption and triumph amidst the chaos that had once consumed me. Seeing my children walk down the aisle and read all their poems to me, melted my soul and it laid emphasis on how lucky I was once again to have the life that I have despite everything I had been through.The memories of the past years flooded my mind, transporting me back to the fateful day I first met Jax. I remembered his little nickname that sent shivers up the spines if people when it was mentioned, The Devil Alpha. His presence had initially brought nothing but destruction and sorrow into my life, snatching away my parents and leaving me bereft, broken and searching for revenge which led me into discovering many many things that true me off balance both physically and emotionally.
Jax's POVEverything was perfect. My life was perfect. My wife was perfect. She was the best thing that had ever happened to me in all my years of living.Our trip to Serenity Springs was perfect, in fact, too perfect, like something straight out of a fairytale. I could see why Ivy had always wanted to go there—it was truly magnificent. And nothing could beat our vow renewal ceremony. From the moment we woke up until the moment we fell asleep, the day had been pure perfection.As we boarded the plane back home, I couldn't help but relive the memories every single day. The images of Serenity Springs played like a movie reel in my mind, a constant reminder of the magic we had experienced there."I miss it already," I admitted to Ivy as we settled into our seats. "I wish we could stay there forever."She smiled, her eyes sparkling with nostalgia. "Me too honey. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and I can't wait to tell the children about everything"I pulled her closer, savoring the warm
Ivy's POVAs our vacation continued, one thing was very clear and it was that Serenity Springs had our hearts. The place was truly magical and sometimes I could not even believe it was real although I was in it. Our adventure continued, filled with laughter, exploration, and a deepening connection between Jax and me. 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. We had dismissed the tour guide that I had contacted before our arrival just because we wanted to make it feel like a real adventure. discovering everything ourselves was going to be far more fun than someone else just taking us and showing it to us we thought and tru
Ivy's POVIt was so very thoughtful of Jax to plan a vacation for us as my birthday gift. As he presented me with an envelope containing the itinerary, my heart raced with excitement. It was not just a vacation; it was a chance to reminisce about our amazing trips in the past that I sorely missed. Jax knew exactly what I needed, and it was as if he read my mind.As I opened the envelope, a rush of anticipation filled me. Jax had planned a trip to Serenity Springs, a place I had always admired and longed to visit. It was said to be a place of pure enchantment, filled with breathtaking landscapes and a sense of serenity that could heal one's soul. I loved how he was so intentional about everything that concerned me and our relationship.Grinning from ear to ear, I knew I had to take charge and plan out all our activities for the trip. It was always my responsibility to find the fun things to do on these trips and I took pride in it. I couldn't wait to dive into the excursion possibiliti
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. What impressed me the most was the way they respected each other's differing opinions, always finding common ground for the betterment of the town.One particular day, as we all gathered at the town hall to discuss an upcoming decision, Luna and Felix found themselves on opposite sides of the debate. 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 a powerful lesson in effective leadership and collaboration.Sometimes I would find myself get so emotional as I saw them doing all these grown up things and handling matters so excellently because I stil
Ivy's POVWatching Felix and Luna take on the town's responsibility with such dedication and skill brought immense pride and contentment to my heart. 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. Despite his condition, he took solace in knowing that Felix and Luna were there to maintain the responsibilities. And although Luna provided suppo
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
Ivy's POVJax had been steadily recovering from the aftermath of his accident, and I did everything in my power to provide him with the care and support he needed. Each day brought a glimmer of hope, a step closer to the restoration of his physical and emotional well-being. I was happy that he was at least finally figuring out and understanding the depths if his emotions and how powerful they were in affecting everything but just as we began to believe that the worst was behind us and everything was going to be back to normal sooner than expected, a cruel twist of fate cast us into a bewildering state of confusion and despair. One that made me to start questioning my faith in the moon goddess, which I had not done in a very very long time but it was all so overwhelming, I didn't know what to do anymore.One morning, I woke up to the gentle rays of sunlight streaming through the window, ready to face the day with optimism. If I had known how everything would have gone down the drain th
