Ivy

"Wow, you are hot!" I blurt out, then bite my tongue. What the fuck is wrong with me!

Pheonix laughs out loud. "Wow, thanks. I wasn't expecting that reaction."

I look down, blushing. "Sorry, I don't know why I said that. Sometimes, I blurt things out by accident."

He raises an eyebrow. "So, are you taking it back? You don't think I'm hot?"

I clear my throat and look him in the eyes this time. "I mean...you are okay looking." Fuck...I can't even lie properly. He is so hot he can melt an iceberg. "I just...I didn't expect you to look like this."

Pheonix tilts his head, and a small smirk teases his lips. "What did you expect that I look like?"

I shrug. "I don't know, someone much older and doesn't look like they belong in a sports-illustrated magazine."

Phoenix chuckles. "Don't let my age fool you, Ivy. I may look young, but I'm much older than I appear."

I raise an eyebrow in surprise. "Really? How old are you?"

Phoenix just smiles mysteriously. "Let's just say I've been around the

Why are you so interested in how "hot" Phoenix is?! Also, why are you letting him get so close to you like that?! Say his name to Ryder to see if he's at least heard of him! If he's some kind of magical Alpha, maybe Ryder can help shed a little light on the subject for us about who he is! Don't trst

    RyderDoes she really think she can use me whenever she feels like it but throw me away when another option presents itself?I don't fucking think so.I swiftly lift her off the ground and pick her up in my arms. She gasps, "What are you doing?"I look at her with a fierce expression, "You want to use me, Ivy? Fine. But I'm not some toy you can just toss aside when you're done playing with me. You asked me to help you, and I agreed against my better judgment, so you better start treating me with some respect."Ivy looks at me, her expression confused and a little frightened. "I-I'm sorry, Ryder. I didn't mean-"I cut her off, "Save it." I carry her to her bed and then drop her on the mattress. Placing my hands on her sides, I hover over her so she can't get up and escape. Ivy looks up at me, her eyes wide with shock. "Are you angry at me?"I take a deep breath and try to calm down. "Yes, Ivy, I am angry. I don't like you rejecting me for some asshole named Pheonix."Ivy's eyes widen

    IvyI stare at him dumbfounded. "What do you mean you are staying?""I mean, I'm spending the night. We are going to have a little sleepover together," Ryder says, stretching his arms above his head.Oh my god, is he flexing his pecs right now?I let out a nervous giggle. "Don't be silly, Ryder. You can't sleep here.""Why not?" He waggles his eyebrows."Be...because...you are a guy, and it's inappropriate!" I cry.Ryder rolls his eyes. "Oh, please. We've kissed a hundred times.""What? No we didn't. We kissed maybe three times," I argue.Ryder shrugs. "Semantics." He twists a lock of my hair on his finger. "Don't be such a prude, Ivy. Let me crash here. I promise I don't bite." He smirks mischievously.Yeah, why don't I believe him?I watch as Ryder jumps onto my bed, making himself comfortable. I feel my cheeks flush with embarrassment and frustration. "Ryder, get off my bed. This is not okay."But he just grins and pats the space next to him. "Come on, Ivy. It'll be fun. We can wat

    IvyI wake up the next day and expect Ryder to be gone in the morning but no.He has proven me wrong once again.Because as I try to stretch and turn to my side, I realize that I can't fucking move.Ryder's arm is draped over my waist, holding me tightly against him. I try to wiggle out of his grip, but he only pulls me closer. I let out a frustrated sigh but can't help the smile that tugs at my lips.I take a moment to just lay there, listening to his breathing and feeling his warmth against me.I gently try to disentangle myself from him again, and this time he stirs. His eyes slowly open, and he looks at me with a lazy smile."Hey," he says, his voice low and husky."Why are you still here?" I whine.He chuckles and tightens his hold on me. "Are you complaining?""Yes, I'm complaining!" I cry out."You should be thankful instead of being an ungrateful brat," Ryder says, brushing his lips over my earlobe.I shiver at the sensation and let out a soft moan. "Thankful? For what?""You

    RyderI can't believe it. Ivy dares to reject me? ME?Who does she think she is?I left her alone for now, but I won't let her get away with it. And I need to find out who this asshole Pheonix is.Hotter than me? Pfft..."What got you all pissed off?" Sirius asks me after we finish our training."Who says I'm pissed off?" I counter."What got you all pissed off?" Sirius asks me after we finish our training."Who says I'm pissed off?" I counter.Sirius raises an eyebrow at me, clearly not buying my nonchalant tone. "Well, for starters, your fists are clenched, and your face looks like you just ate something sour," he observes.I sigh heavily and lean back against the wall, crossing my arms over my chest. "It's Ivy," I mutter. "She said she doesn't want to go to the Lunar Ball with me. Can you believe that?"Sirius lets out a low whistle. "Isn't that a good thing?""I don't understand it," I say, ignoring his question. "I mean, who does she think she is? Thinking she's too good for me?"

  • My Fake Alpha Boyfriend   22. Who are You?

    Ivy "Let me walk you back to your house, Ivy. It's quite dangerous around here during this time," Pheonix offers. I nod in agreement. Not because I worry about danger but because I'm curious to get to know Pheonix. We walk in silence. "So...what pack do you belong to?" I ask when I couldn't hold it in anymore. Pheonix looks at me and smiles. "I don't belong to any pack." I look at him with surprise. "You don't? I thought you were a werewolf!" "I am." My eyes widen in shock. "You are? But you just said you don't belong to any pack..." Pheonix nods. "That's right. I'm what you might call a Rogue." I gasp. Why would Alpha Maurice want me to be mated to a rogue? Pheonix notices my surprise and smirks, "Does that scare you, Ivy?" I swallow thickly and shake my head. It makes me a bit nervous, that's for sure, but I am not afraid of him. If Pheonix wanted to hurt me, he would've done it already. "Don't worry, Ivy. Being a Rogue doesn't mean I will hurt you. It just means I prefe

    Ivy I look at Alpha Maurice and then at Phoenix. Why is Alpha Maurice asking Phoenix who he is? "Greetings, Alpha Maurice," Phoenix says nonchalantly. "I'm not going to ask again. Who are you two? And why are you trespassing in my territory?" "I am simply walking Ivy back to her house, Alpha. It's the gentlemanly thing to do," Phoenix replies, then looks at Ryder with a bitter expression. "If anything, this man is trespassing," he says, pointing at Ryder. "Hold on, I'm confused," I speak up. "I thought Alpha Maurice already knew you, Phoenix." Alpha Maurice looks at me with a stern expression. "I've never seen him in my entire life, Ivy. You can't just bring any stranger to my territory without my permission." "But...you picked him for me yourself!" I chirp. Alpha Maurice furrows his eyebrows. "Picked him for what?" "To be my mate?" I remind him. Alpha Maurice's eyes widen in surprise. "Mate? Ivy, I chose someone for you. But it's not this man. I picked Beta Terran from the M

    RyderIvy hasn't said anything for three minutes now. I guess what I just told her rendered her speechless.She breathes in then breathes out slowly. "You aren't funny, Ryder."I smirk. "I'm not trying to be."Ivy's eyes widen in surprise. "Wh...why?""I don't know how to explain it." I grazed my fingers over her cheek. "I've been drawn to you since the day I met you. I can't explain it, but being around you drives me crazy. And I know you feel it too, Ivy. You can't deny the chemistry between us."Ivy's gaze drops to the ground. "It doesn't matter. We can't be together. We're not mates.""Mates or not, I want to be with you," I say firmly, lifting her chin so that she looks at me. "I keep dreaming about you."Ivy's eyes turn wide. "Dreaming about me?" she repeats.I nod. "Yeah. You know...that kind of dream." I graze my lips over her earlobe."What kind of dreams?" Ivy shivers.Jeez, this girl. Do I need to spell everything out for her?Ivy looks at me with her big green eyes, waiti

    IvyI am running as fast as my short legs allow me, but I can feel Ryder gaining on me. I don't know why I'm running away instead of talking to him, but things between us were a bit weird last night.When I closed my eyes and tried to feel a connection between him and me, I felt strange.No, actually, it was more than just a strange feeling. It was electrifying.As I run, I realize I can't outrun Ryder forever. He is a lot faster than me.But why am I scared of him over a mere feeling?Okay, I lied. It's not just the feeling that made me want to run for the hills. It was a vision I saw in my mind when I closed my eyes. In my vision, I saw us together.My heart raced as I remembered the vision. It was vivid as if it were real. In the vision, Ryder and I were laughing and holding hands, walking down the forest. It felt so real, so perfect, that it scared me. And the worst of all, my belly was swollen, and I looked...Someone grabs my arm as I slow down to a stop, so I scream, "I'M NOT

    The next few days went by fast. I didn't stick around to find out how Eloise's date went with that jerk Calvin. All I did was stay in the woods and mope. "What is wrong with you?" Kaelan asked as he couldn't take my sour mood anymore. "None of your business," I bark. "It is my business when you can't even help me with this simple task," he says irritably. I glare at him and reluctantly agree to help. We walked through the woods, looking for whatever Kaelan thought we needed to find. Suddenly, I heard a sound that made me jump, and I spun around to see what it was. A group of hunters with guns were coming our way. I quickly grabbed Kaelan's arm and pulled him behind a large tree. We wait there, trying to keep quiet, but it doesn't seem to be enough. One of the hunters calls out, asking if anyone is there. We stay motionless. "Why can't we fight them?" I whisper. "We are outnumbered," he says. "But those look like humans, and we are werewolves. Surely, we are stronger than them!"

    As the day unfolds, I find myself caught up in helping Eloise choose an outfit for her date with Calvin. Eloise drags me from store to store, trying on various outfits while seeking my input.This is the worst thing that has happened to me!"Lucian, what do you think of this dress?" she asks, holding up a flowy, black dress against herself.I study it for a moment. "It's nice, I guess. But isn't it a bit too..."Eloise arches her brows. "A bit too...what?""A bit like you are going to a funeral wearing that. Also, it seems like the wrong size for you," I say.Eloise bursts into laughter at my blunt response. "Wow, Lucian, you sure know how to be brutally honest."I shrug, feeling a bit uncomfortable being dragged into this situation. "Hey, you asked for my opinion.""What do you mean it's the wrong size? It feels perfectly fine to me," she says as she tugs at the fabric."It's too big for your body. You look like you are wearing a potato sack," I declare.Eloise winces. "I hate tight

    "Hah, what? Are you asking me out?" Eloise exclaims, her eyes glinting with amusement."Yes. You are cute and just my type, so why not?" he smirks slyly.Wow, this boy works fast."Um...yeah, okay, but no thanks. I don't date wolves," Eloise says and pulls on my sleeve, motioning me to follow her."No, wait. Can I speak to you in private?" Calvin pleads.Eloise looks at me as if she is unsure about this. "You don't have to go with him if you don't want to, Eloise," I say quickly. Not like I want this loser to go out with Eloise, anyway.But she shrugs and nods in agreement. "Yeah, sure. Let's go talk in private," she says to Calvin, then walks out with him.I stand there, feeling confused. I wonder what Calvin would tell her to convince her to date him. Even I couldn't convince this girl, and we actually mated!As I watch Eloise and Calvin walk away to have their private conversation, I can't help but feel a mix of emotions. Confusion, concern, and even a tinge of jealousy all swirl w

    I will be forever alone, won't I?"You won't be forever alone. Stop being so dramatic," Eloise scoffs at me.How does she know what I'm thinking? Did I say it out loud?"Did you just hear my inner monologue?" I snarl.Eloise looks startled. "What? No way. Maybe we share a special connection because of our bond now.""Whatever. But I am telling you. Scarlett despises me," I grumble as the conversation with her reruns through my mind."Despise is a strong word, pal. She doesn't feel that way about you!" Eloise assures me."How can you be sure?" I challenge her.She suddenly grabs my chin and forces my gaze to hers. "How can anyone not love you? You are downright adorable!""I am not fucking adorable, woman," I snapped back, my alpha instincts clashing with the unexpected compliment. "I'm an alpha wolf with extraordinary power!" I reminded her, my tone a mixture of defiance and self-assertion."Hurr derr. Well, you should try to talk to her again. Bring out the charm," she says.I groan.

    'Are you going to just sit here and mope all day?' my wolf scolds me."She rejected me. I can't believe it," I reply, shaking my head. The first time I mate with someone, and she rejects me? What kind of a game is moon goddess playing right now?'Oh, get over it, Lucian. It's not the end of the world. She wasn't even your real mate, so forget her,' he says.But I can't. I can't just forget her. Her scent is still lingering on my skin after we made love. I need to find her again tomorrow!I decide to sleep off my misery for the night and start fresh in the morning. I plan to hunt her down and claim her back again. She can't just use my body and then dismiss me!The next morning, I set off to find Eloise. I know that foxes usually live near water sources, so I start my search there. As I walk through the forest, I look for any signs of her presence. Her scent is still strongly ingrained in my memory, and it helps guide me in the right direction. Eventually, I find a huge fox den by th

    "I will mate with you just this once," I say softly, brushing my fingers against her cheek.A smile spread across her face, but I can tell she is hesitating. "You will? Really?""Yes," I say, my voice shaking. "But I have to tell you something. I've never done this before." My teeth bite into my lip as the fear of the unknown creeps up inside me."Me too. This is my first time too," she whispers.I can feel the heat radiating from her body as she presses her wet body against me.I reach out to hold her close. Then the reality of my situation hits me like a freight train. What exactly am I supposed to do now?I roll her onto her back and lock my gaze on her wide brown eyes. She gasps in shock as I hover above her, my intensity radiating through me like a burning wildfire."I need to touch you more," I husk."What do you mean? Just get in there," she responds, her eyes smoky and distant.'Just get in there? She is quite the romantic,' my wolf teases me.I roll my eyes. This girl is som

    What the heck is going on?I grumble as I attempt to shove Eloise away from me. "Get off of me! What are you thinking, vixen?" I screech."You smell...heavenly. I need you so badly," she purrs in a sultry voice.Huh?"What are you on?" I ask as I stare into her glassy eyes. They are cloudy, as if she is on drugs.She claws at my chest. "You are so beautiful. Take me now, wolfboy," she says."Is this a joke? You are not funny," I say irritably.She takes her blanket off and tosses it away.Whoa...I stare at her naked body as she straddles me. I was right about her having a boyish figure, but there is a certain allure to it.Her small, perky breasts contrast with the rest of her boyish shape, yet it only adds to her sultry appeal. I shake my head, trying to snap out of it. I can't get distracted by her body while she is assaulting me!She grinds against me and I feel myself getting hard. Oh, no, my body is betraying me.

    The motherfucking fox won't stop peeing on me! I watch in horror as he relieves himself on my bark for the second time and then kicks some dirt.I have had it!I seriously have had it!I need to shift back before he runs away and I get the chance to kick this fox's ass!I concentrate hard, drawing on the inner strength that I have cultivated over the years. Sometimes I am able to shift back faster if I really concentrate."You can do this, Lucian. You have the power to shift back to human. You don't want to be a stupid tree anymore, so shift!" I give myself a pep talk with my conscious. Come on, work!As I close my eyes to focus, I feel a strange energy rising within me. It's as if the whole forest is responding to my call. Suddenly, I am engulfed in a warm glow that spreads throughout my entire being. I can feel the bark on my skin begin to soften and crackle as I shrink down to my human size.When I open my eyes, I am no longer a tree, but my human self. The fox looks at me in shock

    Okay, it's time for attempt number two. I had the chance to inhale the girl's scent more, so now I can trace her back to her packhouse. And that is exactly what I intend to do.She called me weird and ran away from me, but that doesn't mean I should give up on her entirely!I trace her scent all the way to a territory that belongs to the Silverwood Pack. I heard the Alpha of this pack is friendly, so I wasn't too worried. I walked inside the gate with my shoulders straight, and head held high.The security guard there looks at me suspiciously. "Who are you?" he asks before letting me in."I am Lucian. I belong to Ashwood pack," I tell him."What brings you here, Lucian of the Ashwood pack?" he asks."I am looking for a lovely girl. She has long brown hair and beautiful green eyes," I say enthusiastically."Ah, you are looking for Scarlett, the Beta's daughter," he says.Scarlett...even her name is sexy. "Yes. Do you know where I can find her?" I ask.The security guard eyes me warily,
