Ivy’s POVEach pair of students sparred in turn while the rest of us watched and Ezra evaluated their performance. I was nervous about my turn. I didn’t think I was extraordinarily bad, but my partner was the trainer, so I would probably look worse than I truly was.Finally, it was our turn and we took our positions facing each other.“Ready?” Ezra asked me.The rest of the class was watching more attentively than before. I’m sure they were all eager to see what the wolfless half-human was capable of.“Yeah,” I said, raising my hands up to my face.Even though Ezra was taller and stronger than me, I wasn’t scared. I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. But I also didn’t think he would go easy on me. Which was fine, because I didn’t want him to think that he had to go easy on me because I didn’t have a wolf.After all, this was a combat exercise in human form. In a real life situation, I wouldn’t be able to choose my opponent. I had to give it my all.Ezra threw the first punch, and I stepped bac
Sean’s POV“Here, like this. Keep your shoulders straight…yeah, like that. And always remember to keep your core stable…that’s very important.”I groaned and scoffed.When I showed up to pick Ivy up after her last class of the day, I hadn’t expected to find her getting a one-on-one training session with my cousin.I had to stop myself from stepping in and stopping them multiple times. That bastard was using all kinds of excuses to be close to her. Like now. He was placing his hands on her waist, pretending to be correcting her posture.If it’d been anyone else, I would have ripped their hands from her a long time ago. But this was Ezra, my cousin who I’d always admired. He wasn’t just some sleazy bastard using excuses to cop a feel…right?The more I looked at the two of them, the more he looked like a sleazy bastard.He needed to back off from my mate by at least ten feet. But I couldn’t just jump between them, could I? Not only was my cousin Ivy’s trainer, but apparently, they were o
Ivy's POV"Here she is, the Stinky Omega Ivy." Once again, Demi and her minions blocked my way after school.I kept my head down to avoid looking at their annoying smirks and tried to get around them to reach my locker. Picking a fight with them wouldn't make sense. Demi was not only the charming cheer-leading queen but also the daughter of the Beta. And me? I was just a nobody.I was from a single-parent family. We had moved to the Twilight pack a few months ago due to my mom's job transfer. Besides, my mom was human, but my father was a wolf, so she believed living in such a pack community would help me when I got my wolf. As a human working here as the pack doctor, she faced many challenges. I felt very guilty that I had failed to transition during my coming-of-age and had become a wolfless Omega at the bottom of the wolf pack hierarchy. To avoid causing trouble for my mother, I would endure this. Demi was indeed annoying, but I would graduate and get out of this hellhole soon."He
Sean's POVIt was a terrible day. My father suddenly informed me that he had remarried and in a week’s time, that woman and her daughter would move into our mansion. I had to be there or else he would cut off my money.I hung up the phone in anger. I still couldn't believe it. Though my mother had left us for a long time, I never expected my father would remarry someday. He's powerful and wealthy but also a cold Alpha. He's very serious about any relationship because he can't stand any stain on our pack.But now he just announced he had married some woman I hadn't even met. The woman must be a sly fox and I had to be careful. I don't want property that should be mine to fall into the hands of some shameless gold digger.I sat by the pool and opened the champagne when my special line came in. I picked it up impatiently.“Hello?” a sweet feminine voice came from the other side.Damn, it was just a greeting, but my dick twitched in my pants in excitement. Since when did a random woman’s
Ivy's POVAs soon as I hung up, I squealed into my pillow. I'd just asked a strange guy to be my prom date, and he agreed.Was this really happening?He was so nice, and his voice…I fanned my face as it got hotter. It was low, sexy, with a timbre that sent a shiver down my spine. That helpline must get a lot of calls.That voice has to belong to someone equally visually captivating. But why would an attractive man agree to go to prom with a random girl?Taking my phone, I made a video call to my best friend, Zoe. I couldn't wait to share the exciting news. She would think I'm crazy, but at this point, I didn't care. I was just happy to have a date for prom.“Hey, Ivy. What's up?”“You won't believe what just happened,” I told her excitedly.Zoe raised her brows. “Spill.”“So, I've been having a hard time finding a prom date–”“You?” she cut me off incredulously. “Are the boys at that school blind?”“Clearly,” I agreed quickly, eager to get to the point. “But it doesn't matter anymore.
Ivy’s POVAnger brewed in me as I watched the scarf I'd knitted burning on the ground. I hadn’t slept all night while making it for my date, but now it was ruined.“Why did you do that?” I demanded, glaring at Demi. “I made that for my date.”“Date?” she scoffed. “Who would be foolish enough to be your partner? Is he brave enough to go against me?”“Not everyone is afraid of you,” I told her. “I wouldn't want to go with any of those cowards who tuck their tails between their legs in front of you.”“Is that so? Who is your brave knight? Huh? Who is it who agreed to be the dance partner to a country bumpkin like you?”“I’m curious too,” Casey said. “You must have lied about your identity. Anyone who knows you knows better.”“She must have hired some dude from outside school,” Stacy said.“You are right,” Annie agreed.“If that's so, I hate to break it to you, but outsiders are not allowed to our prom,” Demi said.“You are lying,” I called her out. “I've seen many students enter the ball
Sean’s POVI was pleasantly surprised to find out that Ivy’s voice was not only sexy, but she was hot too. But her pretty face and sexy body was not what floored me.She was my fated mate.As I got closer to the prom venue, I could feel a strong attraction. When I got out of my car, all my senses focused on her, singling her out as the source of the attraction.I wanted her all to myself, but I could not just take her away. She did not seem to recognise me as her mate, so I could not rush things. I had promised to be her prom date. So, before I broke the big news to her, I’d give her the best prom date ever.There was one problem, though. A noisy bitch had waylaid us and was talking nonsense about my mate. I recognised her. She was the insufferable daughter of Twilight Pack’s Beta.“Who the fuck are you?” I growled, pretending to not know her. She liked to be the centre of attention, so let’s take her down a notch.She blinked and gaped for a moment before quickly collecting herself.
Ivy’s POVI’d never been so turned on before in my life. My pants were soaked between my legs, and I would be embarrassed if I hadn’t felt Sean’s erection on the dancefloor.We walked into the elevator in Sean’s hotel. He pressed the button for the Penthouse Suite. Powerful, gorgeous, and filthy rich. A part of me was still waiting to wake up from a dream.Once the elevator started moving, he turned to me. I felt like prey beneath his blue-grey eyes. It was like they saw into and through me, as if they could see every little thought in my head.And right then, there was not a single innocent thought in my head. All I could think of was what an amazing body must be beneath his suit. Wide shoulders, washboard abs, strong thighs…I gasped silently when Sean suddenly took hold of my chin and lifted my face. He stepped closer, and I stepped back instinctively. I ended up against the back of the elevator, crowded by his body.Was it hot in here or was it just me?He lowered his head, bringi

Ivy’s POVEzra walked into the class with an authoritative air around him. The class went as quiet as a graveyard as he made his way towards the group. When he stopped, his grey gaze swept over the class.“My name is Ezra Walker,” he introduced himself. “I’ll be your trainer for this class throughout the semester. I expect total cooperation and discipline from all of you. I don’t like slackers. If you’re not ready to put in a hundred percent effort, you might as well leave now.”He paused, as if giving any people with second thoughts a chance to walk out. When everybody remained still, he continued, “I also expect everyone to respect everyone in this room. In my class, the only thing that separates you from each other is your performance. I don’t care who you are or which pack you’re from. If you don’t play by my rules, I’ll strike you out immediately. Do I make myself clear?”Scattered replies came from the students. Demi, who had previously placed herself in front of the group, slow
Ivy’s POVBefore entering the dorm room the next morning, I stopped outside the door for a few moments. I knew Sam and Eve would definitely have questions about last night. Hopefully, they were not in the room and I could skip–or at least delay–the questioning.Taking a deep breath, I reached for the handle. The door was unlocked. They were inside. I hoped it would just be Becky inside, but as my luck would have it, I found Sam and Eve inside.“She finally returns,” Eve said as soon as I walked through the door.“Ooh,” Sam cooed, “I wonder where she disappeared to?”They looked at each other and wiggled their brows.“Nowhere,” I said, casually taking a seat at the table in the middle of the room. “I met an old friend and got distracted.”Eve hopped onto the table and raised her brow at me. “For the whole night?”I nodded. “Yeah. We had a lot to catch up on.”Eve gave me a smile and then said, “Drop it. We saw you leaving with Sean Harris.”What?“Me?” I asked, feigning confusion.“Don
Ivy’s POVI had to reject Sean.That was the only clear thought in my mind as I made my escape towards the restroom. I had tried and failed to move on from him. My feelings were too strong, and all it took was a small trigger to bring them back to the surface.Since they’d proven too much for me, rejecting him was the only way to end the connection between us. Once I rejected him, I would sever the bond between us. Maybe then, I could move on.Without the bond, I could be attracted to other guys and stop feeling like my world was ending whenever I saw him with another girl. Only then would I be able to look at him as who he was–my step brother and nothing more.It was the best thing I could do for everyone involved. I would be free from this uncontrollable need and unbearable pain. I would no longer jeopardise my mother’s marriage. Sean and I would finally be able to act like proper step siblings.I wiped away tears that spilled down my cheeks. Realising what I had to do hurt. It hurt
Sean’s POVAs soon as I saw Ivy, it was like a switch inside my body got flipped. I hadn’t been a fan of this outing, but suddenly, this was exactly where I wanted to be.My wolf stirred excitedly while my cock twitched in my pants. It was impossible to not crave her instantly when she looked like that.She was wearing a short backless dress that hugged her curves snuggly and left little to the imagination. If I got my hands on her, that dress would be gone in a flash.The problem was that I was not the only one noticing just how sexy she looked. I caught sight of several males whose eyes were stuck on her like glue, the only thing missing was drool down their chins. I had the urge to drag her away and bring her somewhere only I could look at her.‘What are you waiting for?’ Dax growled. ‘Claim her!’I almost jumped forward to do just that. But then, I remembered that she had chosen another male over me. She wanted nothing to do with me. She was likely here to meet her boyfriend.“The
Ivy’s POVI looked away, sucking in a breath. I was trying to act normal, but inside, I was going nuts. My heart was racing like crazy while my mind went blank.Why was he here? I had not thought for a second that he would show up here.“Holy shit, Sean Harris is here,” a girl on the table next to ours shrieked. “Oh my god.”“I swear he gets hotter everyday,” another one said. “Look at him…why is he so handsome?”“Who is that?” Eve asked, following everybody’s gaze.“That’s Sean Harris,” Sam supplied. “He is the famous Alpha that every girl on campus covets.”“Oh,” Eve said. “I totally see why.”All around us, more admirers sang his praises.“Shit, it’s Sean!”“He’s so hot!”One of the girls started fixing her dress to make her breasts look plumper. “I’ll definitely get him tonight,” she said.“Keep dreaming,” her friend told her. “You’ll be lucky if he so much as looks at you.”“What’s that supposed to mean?” the girl asked angrily.“Just saying,” the other girl said. “Don’t you reme
Ivy’s POV“Perfect!” Sam said, stepping back and clapping her hands together.I looked at my reflection in the mirror. She had just finished doing my makeup. It was light but pretty. As expected, someone who looked like she could hop onto a runway any moment would know just how to give the perfect makeup do.“Now, on to the dress,” she said. She reached for a black dress lying on my bed and held it up. “You’ll look smashing in this one. Trust me.”I shook my head. “No, not that one.”I’d already said no to it when she dug it out of her closet, claiming it was perfect for me.“No, hear me out,” she said, turning to Eve. “Eve, what do you think?”Eve gave it an assessing up and down look. “It’s perfect,” she said.“I’m not saying it’s bad,” I said. “It’s just too revealing.”“And that’s what we’re going for, right?” Sam asked, wiggling her brow.“I don’t know…”“Come on, put it on first,” Sam told me. “Don’t say no before you try it on. If you don’t like how you look in it, fine.”I rea
Ivy’s POVAfter parking my car, I unloaded my suitcase and walked towards the dorm. Ten minutes later, I realised that I was lost. I had a map, but I must have a horrible sense of direction because it wasn’t helping much.After heading up at the third wrong dormitory, I paused to take a hard look at the map. It’s either I was looking at it wrongly or I’d become illiterate overnight.“Hey, do you need help?” a kind feminine voice asked.I looked up and found a girl with a friendly smile approaching me.“I’m Samantha,” she introduced herself. She was slender and tall and wore her dark brown hair in a wavy bob that flattered her oval face. She looked like she could be a model. “Sorry if I’m wrong, but you looked a bit lost.”“I am,” I said, returning her smile. “I can’t find my way to my dorm. I’m Ivy.”“It’s great to meet you, Ivy. You can call me Sam. What’s your dorm? Maybe I can help.”“Grand Hall,” I told her.“Oh, dear. You are truly lost,” she said with a chuckle. “Come on, I’ll t
