Caden

My gaze shifts back to my father who in turn gives me a sheepish smile.

“Father?”

Mrs Carter clamps her hand together and smiles at me widely.

“What's all the silence for, we should be happy”she giggles.

I squint my eyes at her trying to see what she's getting at.

She hugs him tightly.

“Your father and I are in love and we're getting married”

Von and I gasp at the same time and Ivy almost jumps out of her seat.

Seems like she wasn't aware of this either.

I take a step back not knowing what to say.

What am I supposed to say?

“Damn this is awkward,” Von says.

“What?” She asks before kissing my father on the cheek and my heart beat stops for a second “Aren't you guys happy for us?”

The room goes dead silent and none of us speak for what seems like an eternity.

“Ivy doesn't look too good” Von finally says and I scan her demeanor. He's right, she looks like she might get a heart attack.

She shouldn't be here, all this is too much for her.

Why would they do this? They know damn well t

    Ivy Mom's car pulls over at our house just as Caden gets into his own car.She greets him with a big smile and waves which I find both suspicious and almost embarrassing.“Honey I have a big surprise for you, get in the car” she says as soon as he drives off.“Mom can this wait? I just want to lay down for a bit”“Nonsense, we need to go now” she replies then pauses to look me up and down “Are you cold? You're shivering”I open my mouth to speak but before I can say a word she drags me into the car and before I know it I'm sluggishly buckling on my seatbelt dreading every moment.“Here, take a sweater” she says, throwing me a white cashmere sweater she brings out from the back seat.I examine it, feeling the texture.It's the real thing and it's new too.Mom didn't own anything like this, at least non that I know of.I look at the back and find multiple shopping bags and boxes and I'm immediately taken back by the sight.“How?” I mutter“You'll see” she smiles at the rearview mirror

    IvyThe rain outside seems soothing enough to pacify the turbulence occuring in our house.It's a Saturday morning and all I want to do is sleep and get the rest I deserve but mom is too preoccupied with moving in with her boyfriend to care.I secretly hoped the rain would be enough to stop her from packing up but she made it clear that that won't be the case once she dragged me out of bed.Now I'm in the living room exhausted and sweaty from all the activities that came along with moving.I look around with tired eyes at the boxes that lay here and there.Packing my stuff from my room wasn't so hard since I had barely settled in anyway. My mom is the one taking her time with this.I just want everything to be over.It feels so funny how we just got here not too long ago and now we're moving out. Who are we even going to sell the house to?Mom comes out of her room with a few boxes with her phone in-between her ear and her shoulder.“I’m so happy with him, he's so sweet you've just go

    CadenI can't say I was entirely sorry about what happened yesterday but if I didn't apologize father would probably have me disowned.I roll my eyes getting out of bed.I easily cook up some eggs and bacon for myself and Ivy and prepare some Omelets and toast and then green tea for my father and Mrs Carter. Father always loved his green tea in the morning and Elowyn seemed like she would like that too seeing how she looked fit.I'm not really sure what Ivy would like so I just make her what I'd eat in the morning.Father's scent followed by his distinct footsteps fills the room.“You've always been a good cook, it amuses me that you're a lecturer and not a chef” he jokes.A smile curls at the corner of my lips.He never exactly fancied my job, said it makes me too serious.“You really don't need to flatter me so early in the morning”Cooking has always been my thing, father on the other hand would probably burn down the kitchen if he goes near the stove. Either that or we'll all die

    IvyI tap my fingers on my lap aimlessly as a means to distract myself from the fact that professor Caden is just inches away from me behind the wheel.Mom was able to squeeze me in especially through such short notice into the ballet classes that had already started commencing but I'm more than determined to catch up.Dad used to take me to ballet class all the time when I was just a little girl but then I stopped going after they separated. I had too much mental breakdown to focus.But this is my second chance.I've dreamed of doing this again for just a long time and now this is going to be my reality.“Turn left” I tell him and he takes a sharp turn as the car swerves softly.I see him glance at me and the butterflies in my belly do a summersault.“You seem excited”A small smile stretches across my face.“You have no idea”We stop in front of a ballet school in the center of town that I've been eyeing for a while. I look in awe at the building.It's run by the best instructor in

    Caden War cries cascade my ears as claws clash against each other. Howls of pain follow.Blood spills on every inch of the once green pasture.Bones cracking.Women crying.Children crying.More blood.More howling.I find myself in the midst of the dark.I'm in a burning room.“Run Caden!” A woman screams before she's consumed by fire“Mother!”I jerk and my eyes move slowly around my room.This is the tenth time I've had this dream, each one being more horrific than the last.I close my eyes and slowly regulate my breathing.Beads of sweat roll down my forehead,down my neck.These dreams are a reminder of our massacre. A reminder of how I failed my pack.I let them down.I let my mother down.I open my eyes and step down from my bed and land on the cold floor.I balance myself above the ground with my palms rooted on the ground.With each push and pull motion I make I exhale slowly.“Hey maybe you should stop now” Von says“No”I'm not just exercising. I'm preparing myself for the

    IvyThe satisfying feeling of the burning aftermath of working out finally sets in over my third squad.I fan myself with my hand.I've achieved my goal for the day after a series of procrastinating and I'm more than happy to be done.I had found this gym just a few blocks away from the building where I take ballet lessons and I've come here ever since. The gym instructors are great too.Dare I say that this is one of the few things that I actually like about this place.I catch Aria alongside Freya with my peripheral vision. I honestly don't know how we all keep bumping into each other but at this rate it's becoming so draining.I'm just glad that none of them has the guts to actually try and bully me in the gym.The rules are pretty strict here.Any form of bullying or harassment will lead to you into getting kicked out.I see her talking to a group of people and she's flashing them that fake smile I know too well.I have a strong feeling she's planning something, I just don't know

    IvyI scribble aimlessly at my note pad trying to pass time from the boring lecture.This has to be the longest day of my life to say the least.“Pretty eyes” someone to my left whispers to me, snapping me out of my lost little world. I see them looking at my note.I take a better look at what I've been doing and see that I've been doing all this time and I find multiple sketches of professor Caden's eyes.I blink multiple times not realizing what I've been doing.“Um thank you” I tell her and close the noteI deflate a bit on my seat and I find myself drowning in the thought of professor Caden again.Ever since what happened at the gym I don't know what to think. I know it should never have happened.But it felt so good.The thought of his lips on mine sent chills down my core and I bite my lips to suppress a moan.The way his hands caressed me like he was hungry for me.Those strong big hands.Snap out of it Ivy!I jerk back to my senses and sit up straight. My cheeks burn in shame.

    Ivy“Shit, shit , shit!” I curse under my breath as I run into the school building as soon as I get out of the cab.I'm so late. I had overslept and I had no idea when professor Caden left.Mom and Mr Clifford had gone out as well. Mom made sure to put a sticky note on the kitchen counter telling me they both went to the spa.They all left. Without me!I groan pushing through the door.“I’m so late”The hall is so quiet you can hear a pin drop. Everyone is already in class.I step into class hoping our lecturer doesn't notice I'm late.“Ivy Carter” calls professor Henry and I freeze then my shoulders slump.I turn and find professor Henry looking at me disdainfully.“You're late”“Yes but there's a reasonable explanation for this”He lifts a brow then leans on the board“Which is?”I open my mouth but words don't come out.How do I explain that I overslept because I was dreaming about my own stepbrother?“Leave” he says.“But-”“I said leave”My shoulders slump even more as I start to

    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

    IvyIt starts to rain the minute we get out of the car and so we run to the mall quickly so as to not get wet.Elias opens the door for me, removing an imaginary hat like the men from the 70’s.I giggle and walk in pretending to be in a musical. 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
