1000 YEARS AGO. "What more do I want? You are everything I could ever ask for." Kylan whispered in Kora's ears, which made them both smile. Even though there were extra chairs in the room, Kora still decided to sit on Kylan’s lap, intentionally making slow movements like a lap dance to turn him on. She rubbed her ass on his prominent bulge, making him groan."You are such a bad girl; I just know what you want," Kylan said with a chilling smirk across his face. “Do you?” she asked with a slight smirk, getting the reaction she wanted from him. “I do,” he said as his hands made their way toward her shirt. "Don't blame me; you want the same thing too, don't you?" Kora said, feeling his hands inside her shirt. She turned around, wrapping her legs around his waist and pressing herself more into him. Not being able to take it, he got up from his chair and placed her on the table. Loosening the knots of her dress, he peppered kisses on her shoulder blades, neck, and face. “They are qui
PRESENT. Ivy breathed a sigh of relief as she finally reached the last period of her class lectures. "Have a nice day, everyone," she said, waving to her students as they left one by one.To many, she was a crush, and to some, a role model. Ivy was a dedicated teacher at Primes Time College who took her job to the next level. She was willing to go to extreme lengths to ensure that her students understood every detail of what she was teaching.As previously mentioned, many of the schoolboys and even some teachers had a crush on her. Despite knowing that she was much older than them, the boys often used the cliché "age is just a number."She had short, blonde hair that she often styled in an attractive, slightly messy bun. Her skin was smooth, her eyes resembled those of a cat, and her lips were irresistible. She was the epitome of every guy's dream, and the girls saw her as a role model. Shortly after she was employed at the school, many girls began imitating her dress style and even
In the living room, Amelia's grandfather, mother, and father were seated, their faces stern. Amelia stood before them, her head downcast, tears slowly falling onto her feet. Was it really so wrong to resist him? She was acutely aware that her greatest critics were her family members, especially her grandfather. Poor Amelia."You foolish child! Haven't you grown tired of being a failure?" Mrs. Dave spat, her voice tinged with rage."Look at this family," Grandfather admonished, pointing at Amelia. "I led this pack as if it were my only possession and handed it over to your father. He and his wife have run it with their very essence, sacrificing everything for the pack's happiness. No one shirked their duty or was useless. Why must you be the exact opposite?"Mr. Dave simply shook his head, at a loss for words, his eyes filled with disappointment and contempt as he stared at his daughter.Insults continued to rain down on Amelia. Was this how life was meant to be? When even her family d
"Hello, hello." The voice of an unfamiliar presence echoed in her mind, jolting her back to the present.Slowly, she opened her eyes, confronting the sight of two peculiar men standing before her. Her body ached, a reminder of the mishap she had suffered earlier."Hello miss," one of the strangers attempted to engage her. "How are you feeling?"Fully alert now, Ivy stammered, "Where am I? What's going on?""We saw you nearly drown and rescued you," the other man explained."Drown? Are you serious? I was hit by a vehicle! Where even am I?" Ivy exclaimed, taking in the unfamiliar forested landscape, centered by a river, devoid of any vehicles.Seeing her confusion, the two men exchanged uneasy glances. "Come, let's bring you to the palace where you belong," one offered."Palace?" She parroted, her voice altered. "What happened to my voice? What did you do?"Their expressions displayed as much confusion as hers. They couldn't comprehend the strange manner of their princess.Ivy's shock e
After a long period of blackout, Ivy slowly opened her eyes again. Now she was no longer by the riverside, she was lying on a soft bed in a lavish room, the walls adorned with intricate designs and gold accents. “What is this place?” she asked herself as she raised her body off the bed and tried to seat up. Still feeling disoriented and confused, she looked around the room and then noticed a woman sitting by her side, her face a mixture of anger and concern. A voice from within her called "Mother""Mother?" Ivy thought to herself. “What the fuck!”“What the hell is wrong with you this little pretender?” Mrs Dave yelled. “Who are you? Why did you bring me here? How did I get here?” Ivy couldn't help but think if she was now a magician. From the accident to the hospital to the riverside and now a lavish room. “No...No..No... What is all this?” “What is your problem? Why are you shouting?” Mrs Dave said.“Are you mad? Who the fuck are you?” Ivy said, increasing the tone of her voice.
Ivy felt a heavy lump of vomit in her throat as she watched herself in the mirror."No! No!! No!!!" She said as she began to move backwards, one leg after the other."What did you do to me?" she cried out as she held the long black hair attached to her head. At this point, Mr and Mrs Dave did not know whether Amelia was faking this whole thing or if it was real. But how would it be real? She had just fallen into the river on purpose so it definitely was part of her plan to avoid the marriage as they won't let her be until she gets married to the Diamond pack's Alpha Azrael.Ivy immediately took advantage of their confused state and ran as fast as she could towards the door. She stepped on the broken glass which where scattered all around her room. "Ouch, ouch, ouch, MY LEG!" That did not stop her from running, she tried her best to outrun and outsmart each and every one of them."Get her!" Mr Dave shouted in a loud angry voice as they ran towards her. Ivy kept running with all the stre
"Amelia, what the heck is wrong with you." Mrs Dave said as she angrily came down the stairs to meet Ivy and the men who had bundled her like a set of wood."Isn't it enough, put me down."The guards look at Mr Dave who was standing at the last step of the stairs, and he nodded in affirmation. They then set Ivy down on her feet and stepped back, keeping a watchful eye on her. Mrs Dave walked up to Ivy and looked her up and down, clearly displeased."Why all this drama? Are you not tired? You know that whatever you do doesn't really make any difference. You are getting married and that's it." Mrs Dave seemed to have added volume to her voice."Who the hell do you think you are to raise your voice at me?..."In the middle of Ivy's outburst, Mrs Dave interrupted her with a massive slap on her pale face. Ivy stumbled back from the force of the slap, her hand flying to her cheek as she gasped in shock. She looked up at Mrs Dave, her eyes wide with disbelief. In the history of Ivy's life, h
Ivy's heart sank further at the thought of being completely cut off from the outside world. How was she supposed to figure out what was going on if she couldn't even check the date or time? She felt a growing sense of panic rising within her." How about the year, what year is this?" Ivy asked.The maid scratched her head profusely, they never really cared about the year or date and of course, it was none of their business. All they knew was to serve the royal family for as long as they live. But thinking of this, Miss Amelia had never asked her these kinds of questions before so what prompted all this? The maid wanderedAs the maid stood there thinking, Ivy's heart sank a little. Was she really that out of touch with the world that she didn't even know what year it was."I'm sorry, Miss Amelia, I don't really keep track of the year," the maid finally replied apologetically. "Is there anything else I can help you with, Miss Amelia?" the maid asked kindly, sensing Ivy's unease.Ivy hes
“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
