Ivy was bored.Good things didn't happen whenever she was bored.It had been a month since the Silverwolf pack had been punished by the council. There had been no more attacks by rogues or hunters on any pack.Everything was slowly returning to normal. As normal as everything could be with Breeana being the Luna of their pack.Her father came home every day cursing the woman's name so much that Ivy could almost recite the minutes of all his meetings verbatim. Breeana was doing this, Breeana was doing that.Breeana was influencing Reece, Breeana was trying to reduce the authority of the Elder council.Ivy could have cared less. She just wanted the position of Alpha but Reece's eyes never left Breeana for even half a second. Before she could have a chance at her dream, she would need to get rid of Breeana, preferably without losing her head.But that was an impossible plan. She couldn't kill her, it would be too messy and the chances she would be caught were astronomically high.She cou
It was half an hour to departure and Breeana was saying her goodbyes. She was going to the Silverwolf pack because Felicity was having some problems taking over the running of the pack.The complaint had come while she had been in the Elder council meeting and somehow gotten manoeuvres into taking the assignment since it was 'beneath the Alpha but somehow above his Gamma and Beta.'She knew Elder Elvis just wanted to get her out of his hair. Not that she minded, she would do well outside of his circle. The only thing she felt sorry about was leaving her mate, brother and sister-in-law. Her parents had left two weeks back to go on their travelling. There was still nothing about Ari. Nothing.It was like she had just upped and vanished into thin air.Breeana refused to talk to Elder Elvis about it again after their last disastrous conversation."Call me.""Yes. Every day.""You can come to visit me as well."Breeana arched her brow."Reece, that doesn't even make sense. I'm staying ther
When Breeana arrived at the Silverwolf pack she was overcome by an impending sense of doom.Maybe it was because the pack didn't seem as divided as Felicity had made it sound. Yes, there were some minor altercations and skirmishes within the pack but it seemed relatively normal for a wolf pack.Forget about five days, she could be back home in two days at most."Sorry for making you come all the way out here. I… I was just an adviser before you gave me this position. I didn't know what to do when my pack members acted like my giving them orders was the end of the world.""It's alright, Felicity. I understand. Power and authority can be difficult to wield at first." Breeana remembered how hard it had been for her to fill Ari's shoes. "But it will get better, I promise."Felicity seemed at a loss for words at her response."You are nicer than I thought you would be."Breeana would have appreciated the compliment but the way she said it was off. Breeana's thoughts went to her mate. She m
The door to Reece's room opened as Rhea was taking off her clothes in the shower.She had not expected him to come up so soon. It was because Sarah had delayed her. She had wanted to take a shower before but there was no time now. She stepped out of his bathroom naked.She looked around the room. Reece was nowhere to be seen. Had she misheard?"Reece?" She stepped further into the room before she detected the scent of someone behind her. Swirling to face the person, she saw Ivy, a vase in her hand."Nap time."The heavy metal vase came down before she could escape and she fell, a ringing sound in her ears as her vision blurred."Thank you so much for your help."Ivy's voice sounded like it came from underwater and although she wanted to speak up, her tongue didn't remember how to and she fell unconscious.Ivy found her clothes in the bathroom and dressed her up. The only one getting lucky tonight would be her. She took out the liquor she had brought in for this moment and sprinkled it
"You are leaving so soon?"Maybe it was just her imagination but Felicity sounded a little panicked.Was she so nervous about leading the pack alone or was there something she was missing?"I have faith in your capabilities and Goddess willing, I will send someone here to assist you."And check on what exactly you are up to that makes you get nervous so easily.In the car on her way back, all she could think about was Reece. He was probably burying himself in work to avoid missing her. He hadn't picked up her calls the night before and that very morning. But it wasn't a problem. She would simply surprise him.******She couldn't just tell Reece and Allen about Rhea. It would be as though she was having a jealousy fit, which she was but that was beside the point.She'd had to contact Damien to find out about her. The conversation had been stilted and she knew that Damien was coming to conclusions on his own, not that it mattered to get in that moment. She'd just needed to find somethin
When Sarah opened her eyes, she saw Allen.Was she dreaming? It didn't feel like a dream, real yet weak at the edges. The pain in her midsection felt very real. Her midsection.She touched her board flat belly."My baby?"Had she lost– no it was not possible. She would feel it. Something like that would have altered her entire state of being. There was no way her child would have passed on without her feeling it deep in her veins."The baby is fine. They had to do emergency surgery to save both of you. You should be able to hold him in twenty-four hours.""Him?" Her eyes teared up. "It's a boy?"Allen nodded and took her hand pressing a kiss on it."Yeah, and he is stunning just like you."Sarah smiled at him. She would have smiled anyways. She now had a child, a legacy that she would leave behind in this world. A son. She wasn't even sure if she would make a great mom but she would try. She would give it her all. Give any sacrifice needed to ensure that her child had a happy life.Bu
It had been decided that Rhea would be sent to the werewolf council after all her accomplices had been caught and dealt with.Ivy sipped her fruit juice. She would have preferred the bitch dead like the other execution that Breeana had ordered but she would take what she could get.No matter what Rhea said about her, no one would believe her. Even Sarah didn't know what she had done so her secret was safe.Rhea's dreams of leading her parents' pack might have been shattered but the shattering had given way for the rise of hers.Ivy stroked her belly and smiled.*******A Month LaterBreeana kissed the back of Reece's shoulders. He remained unresponsive.She was desperate so she slid her hand over the front of his briefs. He felt so thick, ready and– Reece pushed her hand away."Goddess, Bree, I need to sleep. I have a meeting early tomorrow."Of course, that was the reason.Maybe Breeana would have believed him before. But now she thought of the past month following Rhea's arrest. Sin
Reece's world stopped for a few heartbeats after what Ivy told him.Surely this was a joke, a mistake even that the one night he sought to forget to erase completely would bear fruits like this.No, the Goddess would not be so cruel. He thought of the conversation he'd had with Breeana shortly after she returned from the Silverwolf pack after the incident."I want us to begin trying for a child."He had been so startled that he stopped pulling on his clothes to look at her."What? I thought you wanted to wait."Breeana laughed and stood up from their bed, her nightgown offering tantalizing glimpses of her body."Calm down, Reece. I don't mean we should start right now." She slipped her hands around his shoulders and tipped her head back to meet his gaze, her blue eyes sparkling."I thought about it. Everything is stable enough for a child right now and I want nothing more than to carry your child. To have something that will signify our undying love, loyalty and respect for each other
