Ivy's POVI woke up from my long nap around 4 o'clock in the evening. I had been so tired after cleaning up the house and cooking something to eat that I literally passed out for hours before finally being awakened through natural instinct because left to me I would have continued sleeping till I was satisfied. I laid on the bed just staring into space while trying to get my thoughts together and finally get up and start doing the things I had to do today. When I finally got out of bed, I walked into the bedroom and poured some water in my face to wake me up the more before going down to find something to snack on. I found some burritos and took them upstairs with me with a glass of juice because if I was going to call Alpha Jax who I knew was going to definitely give me a headache then I had better have something to distract me from my anger because I was supposed to be as nice as possible to him so he could succumb to my request quickly. I set my glass on my reading table and walk
Alpha Jax's POVI ended the call with a smile on my face. If there was one thing I always bragged about it was my ability to attract any woman that I wanted and Ivy had been the only one that had proved difficult over the years but here she was now practically begging for my touch and attention and I was enjoying even bit of it but that was not to say that I was not still skeptical at her sudden change of heart and behavior although I knew what built up sexual urge can do to someone and I also knew that our mate bond like she said was very strong and she had been doing a very good job in resisting it which I sort of admired but I was not ready to admit it and I don't think I would ever be because I was the Devil Alpha after all.The incident that happened the previous time was also a bother to me because ever since then I had been trying to figure out where I have met the woman on the picture before and there was no active memory calling out to me . I was also trying to understand why
Ivy's POVI woke up very early the next day, even before my alarm went off and I blamed it on the butterflies I felt in my stomach, not because of anything else but because my plan was finally going to be in motion and I felt like I had accomplished something very personal to me.I sat up from my bed and looked at the my wall clock to see what time it was and I saw that it was a few minutes past four o'clock and I took some minutes to get myself grounded before getting up and going downstairs to have a glass of water. I then prepared some toast bread so I could have something in my stomach before starting to clean up and prepare for Alpha Jax's arrival. I was nervous but I was trying not to get caught up in the feeling and take things slow so I don't make a mistake. I walked to the living room and put on the television to watch some shows and just wind down before I go to prepare the food that we were going to eat in the evening. I wanted to make it seem like some intimate dinner so I
Ivy's POV I finished dishing out his food and placed the plate in front of him before answering his question,"Well if you must know, remember you're welcoming ceremony at my previous pack?" I asked him and he nodded in head slowly and I could see the wheels of his brain turning to see how his question and my answer were connected"And what about my welcoming party?" He asked and Ivy could not help but think if he remembered what be did to her that night but she was not going to bring it up so she doesn't ruin the mood so she laughed in case the memories had started coming to erase them"Looks like someone had so much fun at his welcoming party that he has forgotten how he's was chugging down plates and plates of food and I was lucky enough to noticed the one of the plates and they one you ran through very fast was the one that contained pasta so that's how I knew" I explained to him as I poured him some more wine and put some food for myself too before sitting down and starting to e
Ivy's POVI walked to the sitting room to go find my phone and I see it on the couch that Alpha Jax and I had sat on before going to the dinning room to eat. I adjusted the strap of my dress as I had walked and to say I was frustrated was not even going to cut it because the way I was still horny from the little we did together and the way he left me so abruptly was driving me insane because I had already visualized everything and at such a crucial time was when the stupid sleeping potion had decided to do it's job.I knew that I was not reasoning properly but like I said earlier the body had a totally different mind of its own.I picked up the phone and dialed for Bianca and she picked almost immediately and I knew that was because she was waiting on her phone since the last call we had."Hey Ivy, are you okay? Did it work?" She asked me all in a row and I rolled my eyes as if she could see me."Hey Bianca, I'm fine and yes it did work and as a matter of fact he is sound asleep now"
Ivy's POVThe drive back to Bianca's house was a very short one because I drove very fast because to be honest I wanted to be over this whole thing very quickly especially now that we had reached such a crucial point and there was no turning back and that was why before we knew it,we were there already despite Bianca's protests for me to drive slower since it was evening and a lot of people were on the road and it was slowly getting darker and she didn't want to die through a car that was driven by a reckless driver, which was me and I just found her statements ridiculous and did what I wanted anyway."Are you not glad we got here so fast" I asked her while rolling my eyes playfully and she answered with her own eye roll"It's a miracle we didn't get in an accident child. Who in their normal mind drives like that in the name of the goddess?" She asked and did not wait for a reply from me before opening the car door and leaving and I sighed and cut off the running ignition before getti
Ivy's POVI was so angry and blinded by rage, how could he be saying all those mean things about me. He wanted to break down my walls so I could bow to only him? He wanted to break my resolve? Why would he think he can even break me so that I submitted to him? I was Ivy and no one,talk more of a man who claimed to be my mate but still had the efontery to kill my parents in cold blood could make me bow to him. I was the Queen if my life and I was all I needed. I rushed in on him and before he could even realize what was happening, I pushed his head roughly to the side and sunk my now extended fangs into his neck and I made sure it was as deep as it could get and I only stopped when Bianca screamed my name "That's enough now Ivy, that's enough!" She screamed and I stood up abruptly the moment I heard it and stood there looking at him as he whimpered and slowly I saw the life leave his body and he head slumped onto his neck."Ivy,what have you done?" Bianca asked as she came to stand be
Ivy's POVMaya laughed at my questions and pretended to think for a moment before she gave me an answer"Oh of course she knew, I made sure that she did. The poor woman was really helpless and I know you're here daughter and you'll probably hate me some more for saying this but I will say it anyway, torturing her was really fun you know. It pleased me everytime she would come to me to beg to revert the whole plan and how some times I did tell her that I would but I was never going to do that of course, I was having too much fun to do that and I have no regrets" She let out a crackly laugh because at this point all her voice was gone from all the screaming she had been doing since she barged into Bianca's house.I was boiling with anger but I tried my possible best to suppress it because I didn't want to do anything rash as I still saw that she had a lot to say. She continued telling her side of the story and even though some things she said was news to me as I had never heard it befo
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
