As Ivy just laid down there the tension in her muscles began to melt away, and she closed her eyes, letting out a contented sigh. For a few minutes, she simply lay there, letting the warm water wash over her. But as she opened her eyes and looked around the bathroom, she couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity.What else was there in this palace? What other secrets and wonders lay hidden within its walls? Ivy knew that she had to find out. The cool cream soothed her skin, and Ivy let her eyes close as the maid softly hummed a tune while she worked.For a while, Ivy simply let herself relax, feeling the warm water and the comforting presence of the maid wash over her. But as the minutes ticked by, her mind began to wander back to the problem she had been struggling with earlier.The sense of defeat she had felt earlier began to creep back in, and Ivy felt a wave of frustration wash over her. She leaned her head back against the tub, feeling a lump form in her throat.The maid pause
*Kinsmen Pack*Mariam stepped out of the bathroom with very exposing lingerie. She looked really attractive that even Alpha Alexander couldn't hide his reaction."At your service, my Alpha, do to me whatever you want." She said as she approached the bed where Alpha Alexander was sitting.Alpha Alexander was not too much of a talking type, but he was sure a man of action. His v-shaped face was as bright as ever, we could tell that he was amazed by what he had seen and was ready to finish work on Mariam that night. His cobalt blue eyes became even brighter and more glued to the view when Mariam began to take her dress off. He didn't just want to pounce on her yet, he just wanted her to display what she had and then he would take over from there.Mariam drew even closer to Alpha Alexander, his muscular body hitting her on every side as she tried to seduce him. She played her way through his chest and marked out all the bisect and trisect on them. He was so built and had a very nice and a
Ivy is still struggling to fall asleep in her new environment. Everything feels so unfamiliar, and she just can't seem to get comfortable enough to drift off. Her mind kept racing with thoughts of how she could escape this living hell or how she could cope with it.On top of that, the nightmares are getting worse. It's like they're uncontrollable, and she can't escape them even when she is awake. Ivy feels so frustrated and doesn't even know which is worse her day or her night.She kept rolling from one end of the bed to the other, trying to find a position that will bring her some semblance of comfort. But it's no use. Her mind is too busy and her body is too tense.Then, just as she is starting to feel like she might finally be able to fall asleep, she hears the sound of birds chirping right outside her window. It's like the universe is taunting her, reminding her that she can't even find peace in the morning. Ivy couldn't help but yell out in frustration, "Fuck!"Ivy let out a deep
Ivy tried to shake off the negative thoughts and focus on the present. She had to get dressed and head to the living room to meet the said "special person." She certainly did not know what to expect, but just had a feeling that it wasn't going to be a pleasant encounter.After finishing her bath, she got dressed in a simple black dress, at least that was the only cloth that she could manage, the rest looked so awful. Ivy quickly utilised the boxes and creams she found on the make-up stand, she didn't really know what she was doing because they were quite different from what she used in the 21st Century. She just applied the same principles and it came out quite okay even when she wasn't really pleased by it.Ivy glanced at the mirror and tried to put a fake smile on her face. She wouldn't want everyone to know this was an act because she is still yet to know what is going on with her.But just as Ivy was starting to feel relaxed, she heard a loud banging on the door. "Amelia, hurry up
The room was still filled with tension, Ivy wasn't giving in and Azrael wasn't either. Amelia's parents wanted to clamp on Ivy so bad and tear her apart but Azrael requested that no one should meddle in their affairs.Everyone was throwing evil glances at Ivy and she just went on and ignored them all. Alpha Azrael could not express his shock enough, it felt like he wasn't expecting such behaviour from Ivy, of course, he wasn't infarct everyone was like that and Ivy couldn't help but think how much they have bullied the little girl but now, that will surely not happen again.He drew closer to Ivy once more trying to intimidate her with his height, but she wasn't giving in. Not even a bit. "It seems you want to be unfortunate Mr Alpha. I already told you before but I guess you want to see me in action." Ivy could see the angry look on his face as he retired back to his seat.Ivy stood her ground as Azrael retreated to his seat, the tension in the room slowly dissipating but still palpab
"Ouch," Ivy said as she bumped into someone in the hallways."I am so sorry ma'am," The maid begged, almost going on her knees."It's fine, just be careful. Anyways, I have been looking for you around. I need your help." Ivy looked closely and then figured out that this was not her regular maid. "No not you, there is another one." The aprons made it almost impossible to identify who was who."Ohh... your maid. I would call her right away ma'am. What is it that you want?" The maid asked.“Erhm...Nothing much, can you just help me inform her that I need her help." Ivy requested and journeyed back to her room."Alright ma'am," The maid said and equally made her way out of the hallways"I hate this fucking place, why is fate so cruel, I just wanted to live my normal life. What the fuck did I do to deserve all this." Ivy cried into her pillow. "Everything is not just right...I have to find out what is going on here, I can't afford to continue being in this bad luck of a place." Ivy was sti
"My Alpha, what would you like to put on for the party?" Gloria one of the maids asked.Alpha Alexander raised his head which had been bowed for more than half an hour trying to solve the pack's business. "Arghh...I totally forgot about that,” Alpha Alexander confessed. After staring at Gloria for a while, her breasts heaping like a mountain at the top of her dress, he gave a suspicious grin.At this point, Gloria sure knew what her Alpha was thinking. “How about I have you on me this night, you know it has been a while since I turned you on.” As he spoke, he drew closer to Gloria and pressed her against the wall raising her knee to reach his groin. Slowly he started to kiss her all over her body.Gloria did not want this to stop but she had to. “My Alpha, you would be late, let me quickly prepare your things for you.”“Arghh...Just a little, won't you stay a little?”“My Alpha, you can have me any other time but for now, you got somewhere to be. Besides, you would definitely see othe
"Knock, knock. Miss Emily and Miss Amelia, the party is about to begin." The maid at the door said."Alright, we would be there soon," Emily responded.They soon finished up and headed towards where the party was. Both Emily and Ivy were looking so stunning with the light make-up they wore. The make-up made them look somehow alike and if not for the dresses, a lot of people wouldn't have been able to differentiate who was who.The guests were now more than they were before. The nervous look on Emily's face was almost too obvious. Ivy noticed this and squeezed her hands gently making her smile at the fact that her friend got her back.The Beta's mansion was decorated in the finest way possible, with beautiful flowers and chandeliers adorning every room. The guests were arriving, dressed in their best attire, and the excitement in the air was palpable.As Emily and Ivy made their way towards the hall, they were greeted by the sound of music and laughter. The Beta and his family had invi
“Oh, that..." Emily said in a high-pitched voice as she tried to come up with something in her head."Let me do the talking..." Ivy pleaded.Emily knew she couldn't trust Amelia's memory as they could fail them at any point. "Are you sure?" She asked. "Don't worry Amy, I would speak.""Can one of you just say something already, anyone." Alpha Dave's voice came through, disrupting their little argument."Girl I got this, trust me..." Ivy said placing her hand on Emily's shoulder."You sure" Emily mouthed.Ivy began with a mouth full of food, "I know my memory has been really bad after the incident, but one thing you should know is that a book lover never forgets... Excuse me." She coughed and then reached out for a glass of water. "As I was saying, one thing you should know..." Another round of coughing began."Here, have this" Emily offered her another glass of water."What is wrong, Amelia?" Luna Mira asked, trying to show her concern."I guess she choked on her food," Emily replied
“What if he did?" Ivy blurted out."Let's remain positive Amy, I believe he couldn't have done anything with you and I just keep hoping it is true," Emily said as she grabbed Ivy into another round of hugging."Knock, knock" Luna Mira's voice came from behind the door."Come on in""Are you both better now?" She asked, sounding a bit worried. "You know all those things are in the past, you shouldn't allow them to affect your mood." She continued, placing a gentle hand on both girls."What if they happen again?" Emily asked."We have fought so hard, and we will still fight for our freedom, anytime we are required to." Luna Mira breathed a sigh of relief. "Now to the main reason I came here, I wanted to inform you both that lunch is ready and we are expecting you guys at the table.""Alright, we will be there soon, give us a few minutes," Ivy replied throwing her legs down from the bed.On hearing this, Luna Mira walked out of the room and headed for the dining table where Alpha Dave an
"Are you sure?" Emily asked, quite confused."I guess there is a misunderstanding somewhere. Where did you say you met him first?" Beta Drex turned to Ivy, determined to get things straight."At the lake, I think outside the pack's border," Ivy replied."Outside the pack's border?" Alpha Alexander and Beta Drex chorused."Immediately he heard Emily's voice, he fled into the woods and began to jump from one tree to another. ""Jake?" Alpha Alexander blurted out, his voice filled with rage.“Jake?""I don't know his name," Ivy explained. "I was too angry to ask.""It's Jake, I am very sure of that." Alpha Alexander confirmed."Now everything makes sense." Beta Drex said, nodding his head continuously.Alpha Alexander was already boiling with anger at the thought of what Ivy had said, his mate had been with his brother and they even kissed. Just then he remembered how Jake was confidently talking about the woman he loves."Damn it" He yelled in anger."Who is Jake?" Ivy inquired."Did he
“Dad..." Ivy muttered, trying to bribe her way out of the situation."I need answers, I can't let you leave this house after what happened yesterday." Alpha Dave continued."I already gave them my permission. Besides, Stephanie is going with them." Luna Mira chimed in."Even at that, you should have come to me to ask for my permission." Alpha Dave insisted."I'm sorry Dad... But I just need to clear my head, after everything that has happened, I need to have Some timeout. Besides it's the library.""Yes, we won't even be anywhere close to the borders." Emily chimed in."Hmmm" Alpha Dave sighed, knowing he had lost in this argument. "Fine, you can go. But make sure you are not late.""Of course, it's going to be brief""Stephanie, take good care of them, keep your eyes on them and be alert, in case you sense any threat, mind-link us immediately.""Alright Alpha Dave" Stephanie took a bow before leaving with the girls."Thank you, Alpha Dave," Emily said in excitement as they made their
Luna Mira, momentarily diverted from her conversation with Amelia, inquired, "What's the matter?"Emily hesitated, a subtle unease taking hold. "Nothing much, but I think someone is attempting to establish a mind link with me. If you don't mind, I'd like to excuse myself."With a nod of understanding, Luna Mira replied, "Of course, you should go. It might be something important." Emily quietly left the room.In the solitude of her own mind, she tentatively reached out. "Hello... are you still there?"A swift response came, "Of course I am.""Beta Drex?" Emily paused, seeking confirmation."Yeah, it's me," came the prompt reply."You're in my head, which means you're nearby. What brings you here?" Emily inquired, still taken aback."Alpha Alexander wants to see her," Beta Drex conveyed."Her? Which 'her' are you referring to?" Emily asked, utterly caught off guard."Amelia, have you forgotten so soon?" Beta Drex's voice echoed with a hint of reproach.Emily sighed her thoughts in turmo
“I... I don't know" Emily stammered. "While we raced, she exceeded the pack's territory and I found her at the lake, She was already shivering when I got there." The room buzzed with concern as the doctor worked diligently to stabilize Ivy's condition, meanwhile, the conversation between Grandfather and Emily shed some light on the circumstances surrounding Ivy's state. The mention of the lake and Ivy being found shivering raised further questions and concerns.Luna Mira's maternal instincts kicked in as she worriedly asked, "Lake? Why didn't you say that, she must have been dying of cold."Emily, her voice tinged with regret, admitted, "I thought it might not be needed, I guess I was wrong after all."The realization that Ivy might have been exposed to extreme cold at the lake added a new dimension of worry to that which was already present."Let's not get all worked up; she is going to be fine," Alpha Dave reassured them. "Besides, it's late already. Beta Zoe, you should take Emily
Emily nodded firmly, her conviction unwavering. "I swear, Luna Mira, I saw it with my own eyes. Amelia shifted into her wolf form right there in front of me."Alpha Dave, still processing the sudden turn of events, asked, "But how is that possible? We all thought Amelia was a late bloomer, that she wouldn't be seeing her wolf anytime soon.""I didn’t sign up for any of this, What have you guys done to me? What else am I yet to see?" Ivy asked, her confusion evident in the way she looked.Beta Zoe found himself at a loss for words. "This is... unexpected," he admitted, his brows furrowing in thought.Luna Mira, her maternal concern now mingled with disbelief, turned her attention to Emily. "Emily, dear, could you describe what you saw? Are you sure it was Amelia's wolf?"Grandfather entered the living room, his presence commanding attention. His voice carried a hint of curiosity as he asked, "What is going on here? You mean Amelia was not in her room while we had dinner?"Alpha Dave sh
“Get away from the girls!" A commanding voice pierced through the tense forest air, causing Emily's heart to skip a beat. Amidst the looming danger, her father's voice acted as a lifeline, instantly lifting the heavy burden of fear from her shoulders."Daddy!!!" Emily's voice erupted with newfound hope, her eyes scanning the dense forest, desperately seeking the familiar figure responsible for that reassuring voice. She clung tightly to Ivy's hand and urgently whispered, "Amy, that's my dad. He's here to rescue us."Within split seconds, the monstrous wolf before they retreated, vanishing into the nearest escape route.Ivy, who had been just as frightened as Emily, looked in the direction of the voice. The tension in her body eased slightly as she recognized the comforting tone of Beta Zoe's voice. She had few encounters with him lately so it wasn't so hard to capture the voice."Beta Zoe," Ivy called out, as she held Emily's hand tightly, she was still in shock from what had just hap
**Present time** 10:00 pm"Are you trying to get us killed or something? Why did you come here?"Emily spoke in fear as she reached out to Ivy who was still shivering in the water."Please help me, any more second in this water and I could be dead.""I need to find something to cover you, wolves are scattered around everywhere tonight because of the full moon. I can't let you be seen naked." Emily said with a sense of urgency as she looked around in the woods for something she could use to cover Ivy."Please be quick""Man... I am trying my best, do you expect me to find clothes so easily, here in the woods? I mean no one keeps their clothes in the woods hoping that someone might need them someday.Emily frantically searched the surrounding woods for anything that could be used to cover Ivy. Leaves, branches, or even a discarded piece of cloth would suffice. But the forest remained unyielding, offering nothing to conceal Ivy's nudity."Emily, hurry up," Ivy pleaded, her teeth chatter
