Caden

I watch Ivy leave in Elias's car like she always does for the past three weeks from my window.

She giggles at something that he says that I don't seem to catch.

A hint of irritation stirs within me. His presence around her has begun to irritate me.

Why is he always here anyway?

“Looks like someone's jealous,” Von teases.

“I am not jealous of a child,” I retort.

“Oh really, then why are your fists clenched?”

I look down at my hands that are balled in tight fists and I snort.

“It's just reflexes”

“Sure”

I roll my eyes and go to my mirror, running my hands through my hair.

I look at my frame and features impressed with what I see.

“Why would I be jealous of him?”

“Because he has all of her attention and you don't”

“Shut up”

“You can deny it all you want but you know it's still the truth. You're beginning to fancy her”

Something about his words irritates me even more but I push it to the back of my head not wanting to think about it.

I can't think about it. I have a date today.

The decor, food and music is spot on. She made sure our engagement is nothing less than perfect.I find Ivy in the corner looking a bit lost.

    IvyLast night I cried myself to sleep, I've never been this heart broken since dad left.I still can't believe what he said to me. The degrading words, I never felt so cheap in my life. Is that really what he thought of me?Tears leave my eye and I wipe it off as quickly as it falls.I hate feeling like this. I feel so stupid for still having feelings for him. I hate him for making me feel this way.I make an attempt to blink back the tears threatening to slip out of my eyes but that only proves to be futile as the water works comes pouring down.“How could I have been this stupid?”I pull the covers on my bed up to my chest and hug my knees tightly as I continue to cry with the faintest silence.I bite my tongue when I feel I've cried enough but my heart thinks otherwise.The hiccup in my throat shoots my head up and I catch my reflection from my vanity. My messy hair and snot and tear stained face stares right at me.My phone rings, blaring my ringtone across the room but I don't b

I'm really grateful he's been patient with my emotions every step of the way.There are days where I feel he's too good for me, like a prince from a fairytale. The feeling is so surreal.Mom obviously approves of him, of course she does. He's rich. She was more than happy when I told Clifford and her that we were finally dating and she acted like we were going to get married soon. Elias was just glad they accepted him.

The memory makes me laugh each time I think about it.I smile at my reflection pleased with my outfit.

    Ivy Everything after that day seems like a blur but Elias never kept quiet about it and he made sure to tell anyone who has the ears to listen about what we saw but no one believed him.“A red wolf?” Mom had laughed when we told her “that's crazy, you guys probably saw a squirrel or something”The rest who didn't think we were lying thought we were probably high on something till he finally stopped telling people. But even with that he always makes sure I'm safe when I'm in class, he sometimes had the fear that a pack of wolves would invade our school no matter how many times I tried to pacify his hysteria.Elias and meet up at a new cafe close to school that I've been wanting to check out for awhile.“This place is nice” he exclaims once we finally get in.The place is small but with a modern feel to it with a lot of chic decor.

    IvyToday's first period wasn't all so bad, except for the fact that Aria and Freya kept giving me dirty looks in class. Not that it bothered me anyway. Elias is seemingly M.I.A and when I called this morning he said he had to help his cousin get treats for her dog.I don't know how long I'll have to wait for him to get to school. I check my phone to see if he's texted but my phone is drier than ever.I haven't felt this lonely in a long time and it stings. Badly. It's currently half past twelve and he still hasn't texted.I furrow my brows worriedly as I tap my fingers on the desk as I wait in the barely empty fall for our next class. Caden is supposed to lecture us and something about that information makes me anxious. I can't face him alone. I need Elias by my side.Soon enough other students start trouping in and I scan the crowd for Elias and my heart sinks with every second each time I can't find him amongst the batch of crowds.Caden walks in and my heart beat starts to race he

    IvyI can barely concentrate on the food in front of me with Caden sitting so close to me. My face would heat up each time the memory of his naked body flashes through my mind.The slightest touch of his arm grazing over mine sends the fastest shock wave through my body that goes straight to more core and I occasionally have to squeeze my legs tightly together to control myself.I feel his leg on mine and I jolt up and all the attention falls on me.“I'm done eating, I have to go to the bathroom” I blurt and race upstairs.“What has gotten into her?” I hear mom ask.I rush to my room and shut the door slamming my back against it.I hate how he still makes me want him, every inch of me yearns for him even when I know it's wrong. But I still crave for him, even just a morsel of him would be more than enough.I shake my head trying to take away the profane things.Guilt creeps in on me once Elias flashes through my mind. He's been so patient with me already. He doesn't deserve this.But

    CadenThe night was thick with tension, the kind that crackled in the air like the calm before a storm. I stood in the dimly lit park, my heart pounding as I watched Ivy's face twist between anger and despair. It was then that I saw him. Elias. He emerged from the shadows, his presence heavy with an aura of menace that sent a shiver down my spine. I instinctively stepped in front of Ivy, a primal instinct taking over as I prepared to protect her from whatever twisted plans he had.“What do you want, Elias?” I called out, my voice steady despite the turmoil churning inside me. “This isn’t your fight.”“Oh, but it is,” Elias sneered, his lips curling into a malicious grin. “You see, Ivy is meant for me. You’ve had your chance, Caden, but you’ve blown it.” His eyes flicked to Ivy, searching for a glimmer of sympathy, but all he found was defiance.“Don’t you dare try to take me away from him!” Ivy shouted, her voice fierce and unwavering. It was the fire I loved, the spark that drew me t

    CadenAs I sit on the edge of my bed, the silence of my room presses down on me like a weight I can’t shake off. The taste of Ivy’s lips still lingers on mine, but it’s a bitter reminder of everything I’ve messed up. I can almost hear her voice echoing in my head, the hurt and rage woven into every word she screamed at me. “You’re pathetic,” she said, and I can’t help but feel that’s exactly what I am. I take a deep breath, letting it out slowly as I run my hands through my hair, trying to collect my thoughts. How did I let things spiral so far out of control?The door swings open, and Dad steps in, his expression stern. “Caden, we need to talk,” he says, crossing his arms over his chest. The disappointment in his eyes feels like a punch to the gut. I know he’s heard the commotion, the arguments that turned into chaos. “You need to own up to what you’ve done. You can’t just go around kissing girls and expecting everything to be fine afterward.” His words hit hard, each syllable a remi

    IvyI'm so engrossed in my conversation with Elias that I don't even realize when someone slips into my room. Not until they turn on the lights and I practically drop my phone on my face from shock.Ouch!“Well hello Ivy” Julissa says from the door.“Julissa…what are you doing here?” I groan, shielding my eyes.“Oh nothing really, just wanted to tell you to get your hands off my man” she smiles, cocking her head.“Your…what?”“You heard me,” she says, coming close, her feet not leaving any sound. “He belongs with each other” she says before squatting next to me. “And you my dear are ruining things for us”“How can I ruin something that's not even in existence-”“Oh please, don't be so foolish as to be in denial. Caden and I were handpicked by the moon goddess herself”“The moon goddess?....”What the hell is she talking about?Julissa doesn't seem to sense that bewilderment in my voice as she flips her hair with pride and twirls happily much to my amusement.“Yes you heard that right

    IvyI don't know how long it's been since Caden and I last saw eye to eye. I don't think I care even to count.It's been so exhausting thinking about him. I hate how I almost slipped out of my senses just by his touch.Elias has been M.I.A too. I can't even reach him. My worry grows more and more each day.I wake up to pitch blackness with a dry throat. I can barely tell what time it is because it's still so dark out.I find my way to the hallway and make my way down stairs. Suddenly someone grabs my arm and yanks me towards them.Just before I can even scream their arm is pressed against my lips and my back is pressed against the wall sending an ache throughout my body.Just as I'm about to scream a pair of lips press themselves on mine and my eyes flutter open.The light dull light from the kitchen slips through the corridor and its leaking light casts the darkness away revealing Caden's eyes locked in mine.His tongue and lips take me hungrily not stopping for a sec as I drown and

    Caden My arms ache from today's whole activity, who knew this tiny girl would cause me so much headaches.I watch her run into the house even with me calling after her and I sigh knowing I'd never hear the end of this.“Way to go buddy, you completely ruined the day for everybody including yourself”“Can you not be so unhelpful for just five seconds?”I park the car and step into the house not knowing exactly what to say. The look on father's face is enough to send me to hell but that's not what I'm thinking about at the moment.Dad goes on to yell for a few minutes but I can't pay attention because my mind is so fixated on Ivy. I need to make things right but I just don't know how to.“I'm sorry father” Is the best thing that I can say right before I start to climb up the stairs.He stops talking abruptly like the words get taken from his tongue “well you should be”Reaching my room I can't resist the urge to talk to Ivy, to reach out one last time.Even if I know I might not end we

    IvyIt's only after I can feel his lips detaching from mine that I realize that he crossed my boundaries.How dare he?!I push him away from me with everything I have and when he's far apart from me I slap my hand against his face which sends his face turning the other way.“How dare you touch me?!!”His eyes widen clearly taken aback by my outburst but I don't care. I feel used.“Ivy I-”I don't wait for him to finish his sentence and I slap him across the face.The nerve he has to treat me like shit for so long and then kiss me like non of that ever happened is wild.The more I think about it the angrier I get. The thought of Elias's injured face comes to mind and I feel a pang of guilt for not being able to do anything about it.“Who the fuck do you think you are?” I scream at the top of my lungsHe looks at me with hollow eyes with his lips glitching from a thin line to a downward turn.“I'm sorry, I…” pauses “I just couldn't help myself-”“You couldn't help yourself?!”“I know yo

    IvyI scream and yell at Caden to let me go but everything seems to fall on deaf ears. I hear the shopping bags hot the back seat with rippling sounds as I try to adjust myself to make a run for it.But as soon as I get a hold of the door I'm immediately met with utter disappointment as they're sealed shut.“Ivy!” I hear Elias call after me and my head shoots up to find him limping through the mall entrance with a small patch of blood running down his head.“Elias” I called out in panic.But that's when the car starts and immediately swerves away.“No!!” I scream hitting the glass “Turn back, he's hurt”I turn over to Caden who's driving nonchalantly and I try to take the wheel from him.“I said…turn…around” I struggle in between grunts. But his grip is too strong and he easily subdues my hands with one of his.That's when I resort to kicking and then and only then does he pull over but now the only problem is that I can't run.I struggle and yank away but nothing works and my anger b

    Caden “What's getting you all worked up?” Von asks as soon as I walk into my bedroom.“I'm not worked up”“Then what was all that show you put back there?”I click my tongue without having an answer for that. The truth is I don't know either. I can't stand the sight of her happy with him. Even if what I feel for her is purely from the spell she casted on me.“That's right, ignore me like you usually would”I'm just about to respond when my phone vibrates and lights up. My brows knit together as I wasn't expecting any calls today especially at this hour.My suspicions rise higher as the caller ID isn't saved.Who could this be?I answer the call nonetheless and a familiar voice from the other end springs to life.“Alpha Caden, we found some information on the bracelet”My eyes widen as the gravity of this sentence begins to dangle over my head.I had sent out a private investigator from the pack to dig up some information on this bracelet since my own suspicions were getting me nowhe

He holds my hand and smiles like he used to when we were dating.“You know you look really beautiful when you laugh” he says looking down from his towering height.I smile back “thank you”.“Hello beautiful couple, would you like to buy some beautiful dresses?” A lady appears before us with a wide commercial smile on her face.“Uh we're not-”“Yes we would, let's get your best dresses” Elias interjects and I glare at him.“Right this way sir” she leads us to a store right at the corner.I'm instantly breath taken at the sight of the beautiful range of dresses. Dresses of all shapes, colors and sizes hang on each side of the store.“Right this way miss” she reappears taking my hand to a room inside that has even more clothes.She hands me a loa
