last update Last Updated: 2024-11-07 21:14:54

Ivy's POV

“He tried to kill you, Ivy.”

Spencer seems exasperated by the conversation. He’s shifting back and forth, and keeps shooting angry glares at both Lance and Jason. I can tell that he’d much rather be out of here by now.

“But he wouldn’t have tried to kill me without outside influence!” I protest, looking at Jason. “That was all Lance’s doing.”

“He hated you plenty before I showed up,” Lance chimes in. “All I did was give him a plan. He was more than willing to participate!”

I raise an eyebrow at Jason. “Is that true?”

“I–I–” Jason’s face flushes a deep, frustrated red, and his lower lip starts to tremble. “I don’t know! My mother just died and the war was the Lycan Royal Family’s fault and everything was a mess! What was I supposed to think?”

I breathe out a slow sigh, then purse my lips, thinking intently.

I want to make sure Jason is provided with all the opportunities in the world to change and learn and grow as a person. Now that everything has been revealed, now t

    Spencer's POVAs Ivy continues to argue on Jason’s behalf, all I can think about is how beautiful she is. Whenever she’s passionate about something, there’s this glow she gets about her. It’s a brilliant spark in her eyes, maybe, a twist of her lips and a set of her jaw. It makes her stronger. She seems sure of herself. Her sheer, overwhelming force of emotion–it sets her ablaze. It’s like she becomes the center of the universe. She becomes the center of my universe, anyways. “How are we going to keep you safe, if we don’t put Jason in prison?” I ask. When I first found out Jason had tried to have Ivy’s food poisoned, I nearly tore the little brat apart where he stood. I’ll have my revenge with Lance and that crooked chef, at least. But the idea of anyone trying to hurt Ivy–especially within the walls of this palace, where she’s supposed to be her safest–makes my blood boil. “Your Highness, you can’t actually be considering letting the boy’s actions here go unpunished–” Captain M

    Ivy's POVWhen I wake up in an unfamiliar room, all I can focus on is the pounding in my head. My eyes blink open blearily, and I manage to prop myself up onto my elbows, sitting half-upright. My head feels as though it’s been stuffed with cotton, and as I raise my arm to adjust my hair, I catch sight of the IV on the back of my hand. The sight of needles tugging under my skin makes me wince.Wait–needles? All at once, I realize where I am. I’m in a hospital bed. “Ivy!” Spencer exclaims, relieved. My eyes widen as I look to my left, where I can see Spencer, Sylvia, and Wilson sitting in the corner of my room. It doesn’t seem like they’ve been here long at all–they all seem tensed-up, not yet comfortable in their seats. As I take in my surroundings, all three of them are looking at me with concern. “What… what happened?” I murmur blearily. “We don’t quite know yet,” Spencer replies, stone-faced. Though he’s done his best to school his expression, it’s not quite working. I know h

    Ivy's POVYou’re pregnant, Ivy. All at once, the world seems to collapse in on itself. I feel like I could pass out all over again as the hospital bed starts to tilt beneath me and the wallpaper twists itself into knots. I can feel my heart starting to race and my breath starting to quicken but maybe that’s not me and it’s actually all the baby– Pregnant? I suppose it’s possible–I mean, all things considered with how Spencer and I have conducted ourselves before, it’s most definitely very possible–but pregnancy has never felt like something that could happen to me. It seems like it should be a reality disconnected from myself. I’ve always wanted kids. I have a son already. But a baby? A baby I’ll give birth to myself? How am I supposed to raise an infant? I glance over at Spencer to see how he’s taking the news. He’s gone red in the face, with wide eyes and a slack jaw. For once, he looks completely, utterly dumbfounded. Spencer’s the father. Of course he is. Who else would it

    Spencer's POVIvy’s words ring through my head, chilling me to the bone. “I don’t want to put a child through you.” What’s that supposed to mean? That oh, I’d be such a terrible person to raise a child with? That I’m not fit to be a parent? That I’d damage the child just by trying to be in their life? Absolutely absurd. But as Ivy looks deep into my eyes, I realize that her words aren’t motivated by any sort of anger over what;s happened between us. No–she looks scared, and sad, and completely, utterly alone. She looks like she doesn’t know who she can rely on to support her with this. And I can’t even say that I blame her for feeling this way. She’s right. I am engaged to Delilah. I haven’t been making Ivy feel like a priority in all the ways she deserves. I have no idea what kind of father I’d be. It makes sense that Ivy would want to keep me at arm’s length, and as I gaze into her eyes, I can tell that she’s close to snapping. I think any attempts made to argue with her now w

    Ivy's POVAs I watch Spencer leave my room, I can feel my heart plummeting into my stomach. I glance over at Sylvia, Wilson, and Dr. Danbury reluctantly, shame burning my cheeks. “I’m sorry you had to see that, guys,” I say awkwardly. “I just. Um. This whole situation has been..” I trail off, not quite sure how to finish the sentence. How could I even explain the depths of what I’m feeling right now? I want to raise a child with Spencer, but not when we’re like this. I hate him. I love him. I don’t know what our future is going to look like, and that terrifies me. The mere thought of him makes me feel sick to my stomach, but whenever I’m apart from him I can feel the stress eating me alive. Really, there’s no good option for me. Wilson clears his throat. “I need to check on some… military stuff,” he says abruptly, standing up and heaving towards the door. He shoots a pointed look towards Sylvia. “Let me know if you need anything?” “I can also give the two of you some space,” Dr.

    Ivy's POVJust as I can feel the tears starting to stream down my face, I feel a pair of warm, reassuring arms wrap around me. I gasp as Sylvia embraces me tightly. Her fingers run along my back gently, a sweet, soothing motion. Slowly, gradually I can feel myself begin to relax. My heart rate steadies. My breathing slows. Little by little, the tears abate. “Thank you,” I sniffle, looking up at her. “I really–I really needed that.” “Of course.” Sylvia pulls away, but her hands continue to rest on my shoulders. “Honestly, Ivy, I can’t say whether or not Spencer will be in this baby’s life. I don’t know how involved he wants to be. I can’t pretend I know what your future will look like. But no matter what happens with him, you have me. You know that, don’t you?” “I–I do,” I reply with a weak smile. “Yeah. Thank you so much, for everything.” “You were there for everything with me and Wilson,” Sylvia replies. “Despite all of your own problems. Despite all the horrible, horrible thing

    Spencer's POVIt’s been a day since I got the news about Ivy’s pregnancy announcement, and I still have no idea what I’m supposed to do. I’m deathly tired–I wasn’t able to sleep last night, thanks to the endless cacophony of thoughts rattling around my brain. Who is Ivy to deny me access to my mate, to the child she carries? Failing to raise that child would be a true failure as a man, and I can’t even stomach the thought. A child is supposed to be my legacy. The mark I leave on this world. A reminder of the goodness, the purity, of life itself. If Ivy truly doesn’t want me around, I have no idea how I’m supposed to respond. She’ll have access to everything she could ever want or need, of course. Doctor’s appointments, maternity clothes, whatever foods her pregnancy cravings leave her wanting. And I’m already having facilities drawn up for the child, including a nursery right beside Ivy’s bedroom. I’m doing what I can without directly getting involved, but I want to get involved.

    Spencer's POVColin just went into Delilah’s room, and judging by the look on his face, it can’t be for any good reason. I stare at the closed door intently, trying to replay what I just saw. I didn’t actually catch a view of whether or not anyone answered the door–I can’t be sure as to whether Delilah opened the door to let Colin in, or whether he simply broke in on his own. I don’t know which option is worse. I cast a quick glance around the halls, scouting out the surroundings as I plan my next move. Colin and Delilah–whatever they’re up to, this is most definitely an unexpected development. I don’t like the idea of them spending time together. While I’m not the most fond of Delilah, I have unfortunately had to let her get to know me. And she’s close to all the Lycan Royal Family’s secrets now, being my bride-to-be. Hell, she’s in on plans that not even Colin is aware of. And Colin hates them. The idea of an alliance between the two poses an additional threat to me within the

    Spencer’s POV“Alpha Fierro, I need you to focus up.” The words are harsh as they leave my mouth, but I’m not trying to be malicious, although it’s true that things desperately need to get moving. The longer I spend in the Sunclash pack, the more on edge I feel. Every wall in sight feels like it’s closing in on me, and I can feel the sickness permeating the air. There’s a heaviness to this place now, an endless sense of dread. I have a feeling that this ground will carry the weight of all its deaths for a long, long time. “Scour the office for anything that seems out of place,” I say. “If your Beta was in charge of the pack in your absence, it’s likely that he was the one putting any preventative measures into place. He may have tried to find a cure–hopefully there are signs somewhere around here.” I look down at the man’s corpse, the papers clutched in his fist and the expression of profound horror on his face. “I read his reports. He seems to have been a confident, driven man. I’

    Spencer’s POV‘I think a considerable number of people managed to leave, contaminated or not.’ The longer Beta Wilson’s words echo through my mind, the more I begin to realize the scale of the potential disaster we might have on our hands. Where would any contaminated werewolves go? To the surrounding packs, most likely, and from there, the plague could spread from pack to pack to pack endlessly, ultimately becoming a worldwide pandemic…I whirl around to look at Alpha Fierro. “What was your relationship with other packs like?” I ask him urgently. “If any of your pack members were to turn up there looking for help, would they receive it?” “Probably, yeah,” Alpha Fierro says. “We tended to keep things as peaceful as possible. Unless there was very clearly something wrong going on, no one would have any reason to turn any of our members away.” I curse silently under my breath. “Keep heading towards the pack house,” I tell Alpha Fierro, already starting to walk away from him and back

    Spencer’s POVMost of my skin has already been covered by my day clothes, but in the few places I’m not, I can feel the hazmat suit’s crinkly plastic resting against me uncomfortably. I shudder as the plastic continues to shift. It clings uncomfortably to my skin and is far from stealthy, causing a loud rumpling sound to ring out with every step. I’d hoped that we could carry out this surveillance with at least the slightest bit of stealth and decorum, but as the entire haphazard team of us begins to make our way into the Sunclash pack, it becomes more and more evident that that’s just not going to happen. Through the suit’s bulbous plastic dome, I make eye contact with Doctor Danbury, clearly far from amused. She purses her lips, and I can see my own frustration mirrored on her face as we continue to lug equipment around. “I know,” she says, coming up to walk beside me. “Believe me, I hate the suits too. Easily one of my least favourite parts of this job. But whatever wiped this p

    Spencer’s POVAs we all sit in the back of a sleek, high-speed limo, I can’t help but feel thick tendrils of dread curling throughout my stomach. Every second I spend away from Ivy feels like I could be missing her final moments, and the fear over what could happen to her is making me sick. “The hazmat suits will be uncomfortable,” Doctor Danbury warns, holding up a hideous yellow baggy bodysuit. The plastic crinkles under her touch. “And the tanks on the back are going to poke weirdly. It’s no fun to wear, I know. But we still don’t quite know the extent of the toxicity of the environment we’re about to enter, so right now, safety is of the utmost importance. It’s possible that we’ll be able to take the suits off once I’ve run a couple tests and deemed the area safe, but I have no idea yet.” “Whatever it is, it seems to be highly contagious,” Alpha Fierro says somberly. Doctor Danbury nods. “The last thing we want to do is bring an uncontained plague back to the Lycan Kingdom, so

    Spencer’s POVJust as Beta Wilson and Alpha Fierro make their way out of my office, I see Alpha Leo slip through the doorway. He looks much better than he did the last time I saw him–there are still the occasional cuts and bruises marring his skin, a couple ridged scars in the process of forming, but Alpha Leo seems to be walking without much pain. His posture is straight and his gaze is keen. He looks at me tentatively as he approaches my desk, and I can tell he’s just the slightest bit on edge. “Your Highness,” he says uncertainly. “Alpha Leo,” I reply. “Um, what can I do for you?” Alpha Leo asks nervously. I shuffle a stack of papers on the desk together. “As I’m sure you know, we’ve suffered considerable gaps in our staff,” I begin. “Specifically in our military and guard positions. One of the most notable absences is Captain McAndrews, as I’m sure you remember quite well.” Alpha Leo blanches. “Right,” he mutters. “The work you did during Elder Jet’s invasion was exceptiona

    Spencer’s POV“The Lycan Kingdom will come to your aid at once.” Clearly, the ease with which I offer my support comes as something of a shock to Alpha Fierro. His eyes widen, and his face breaks into an expression of gratitude. His posture already seems straighter, like a great weight has been lifted from his shoulders. “Really?” Alpha Fierro breathes out. “Thank you, Your Majesty. Truly, I’d nearly given up hope on receiving any sort of aid at all–I’d almost started believing the rumours…” My eyes narrow. “The rumours?” I repeat coldly.” Alpha Fierro blanches. “Well, I–of course, I never really believed them. But I’m sure it hasn’t escaped your vast reach of influence that some werewolves have been saying things about the Lycan Royal Family that have been rather… out of line. Ever since Elder Jet and his rebellion, things have been different. But I–that’s not important! What I’m trying to say to you right now is thank you, Your Majesty. From the bottom of my heart.” I remain si

    Spencer’s POV“Tell me everything you know about this plague.” The command is sharp and electric, crackling with urgency. At Alpha Fierro’s mention of this strange plague taking lives–not to mention its unfortunate coinciding with the Blood Moon–I can’t help but feel nauseous thinking about what could happen to Ivy. There’s been no confirmation that she’s sick with any sort of plague, of course, and there haven’t been any reported cases of illness from those who have come into contact with her so far. But all of that could change at any given moment, and when it comes to Ivy’s life–or the lives of anyone in my kingdom, for that matter–I have no intention of taking it lightly. Alpha Fierro hesitates for a moment. “I’ve been having my Beta send me reports tracking the symptoms he’s seen from some of the infected pack members we’ve got under observation,” he says. “But my Beta is–well.” He stops speaking abruptly, gaze momentarily taken over by sadness. “He’s deteriorating rapidly, to

    Spencer’s POVAs I tear my way through the hospital and back towards the place, a million thoughts are racing through my mind. “Where’s he been staying since I turned him away?” I ask Beta Wilson, moving as quickly as I can. The day of my wedding, he’d somehow managed to fistfight his way past all my staff and slip past the wedding chaos to my penthouse. He’d knocked on my door like a madman before pleading with me to take his meeting–the only reason I even did was because I hold a fair amount of respect for the Sunclash pack. But the man had been blabbering on and on about some sort of curse rained down from hell that had overtaken his punishment, and he’d seemed all but mad, and I’d had a million other things on my mind since. “He’s been staying in a hotel within the kingdom for the past week,” Beta Wilson replies. “I’ve done my best to reach out to him over the past couple days, but he’s remained adamant that he only wanted to speak with you. At first I thought it best not to le

    Spencer’s POV“No matter what happens to me, swear you’ll always take care of Tala.” Something in the solemnity of Ivy’s words jolts me right back to reality. Immediately, I realize just how unstable I’m acting–threatening the very doctors and nurses who are trying to save Ivy couldn’t be a more impractical use of my time, and it’s certainly not the kind of support Ivy needs right now. What’s happening to her would be terrifying enough even without all the uncertainty–my own overreaction certainly isn’t something she needs to be worrying about right now. Above all else, she needs to know I’m there for her. “Oh, Ivy, of course I’ll always take care of Tala,” I tell her gently. “You don’t need to worry about that at all. She’s my daughter, and I love her. I swear I’ll do everything in my power to make sure she never has a care in the world. Jason, too–I want him to be my son as well.
