I was getting really paranoid after that conversation with Asher. I didn't know what to do. And I was a little afraid to go anywhere alone. So he made sure that someone had eyes on me at all times. And he obviously chose people that he trusted without a question of doubt. But he didn't make it obvious. He made sure that they had eyes on me but they were actually escorting me anywhere. They were following me from a distance so that it wasn't so obvious. I had to continue my Luna duties and I had a meeting with a group of ladies to hear what issues that they had around the pack which took us almost an entire state. Some of them travelled hours to be here so we had food and drinks set up in the conference room and we all sat around the table talking about all the issues that they had in their little communities. They all told me of things that were happening and I was writing everything down that I thought needed attention, especially around security. Now more than ever, I was worrie
The next morning after we got up and dressed we headed downstairs to the dining room and Freya was just leaving for school and Spencer and Cole were nowhere to be seen either. So Asher and I sat in the informal dining room at a table next to the window and I was looking out at the sun shining down and the gardens outside. " Are you alright?" Asher asked. " Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked. " I don't know. You just look a little pissed off." He says. " Why the hell shouldn't I be pissed off?" I asked just as Lucy walked over with a tray and put down our plates of food and two coffees. " Enjoy guys." She says walking away. And I just sat there and stared at the coffee and then looked at Asher. " We have to pretend like we don't know anything." Asher whispered. " I'm not drinking that. Who the hell knows what she's been putting in it." I say. " It's just birth control." He says. " What kind? It could be poison for all I know. It could be rotting my insides for all we kn
IVY POV I walked into the bedroom late one night and Asher was already in there. He had just stepped out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist and I sat on the bed to take my shoes off. " Where have you been all afternoon?" He asked. " What do you mean? I went to see a couple of those villages. I had meetings with the women there." I say. " Oh yeah. That's what you say." He says. " What the hell is that meant to mean?" I yell. " I mean, I called those villages. I know that you weren't there. So where the hell were you? I was looking for you all afternoon and your mind link wasn't working. You've already been kidnapped once. Do you really want it to happen again?" Asher yelled at me. " Screw you. What the hell are you accusing me of?" I asked as I stood up. " You know exactly what I am accusing you of. Who the hell were you with?" He asked. " Wow. You are really f**king reaching now, aren't you?" I asked. " Well, I'm obviously not doing the job getting you pregn
LUCY POV I couldn't believe it. I thought my whole plan was going to be derailed until Freya, a f**king child, came in and told them that she hated what was going on and for them to start working it out. I didn't know that them not conceiving would cause so many problems and make them stop having sex altogether. But maybe we might be able to get back on track. I can't deliver Ivy to Levi without her being pregnant. That was a must. I don't know why a baby is so important to Levi. I would have his baby in a second but for some reason he wants this baby. Obviously he cant just take Ivy and force her to have his baby. That's his sister and that is disgusting. When I finally got to my room on the bottom floor of the mansion I mindlinked everyong that the meeting was still on for tomorrow night. And then I grabbed a device that I had hidden under my bed and I rewound it and pressed play. I listened to Asher wake up and grown as he got out of bed and went to the bathroom and he had a
FLASHBACK - IVY POV Asher and I were lying in bed one night trying to go to sleep. My head was on his chest and I could hear this irritating noise. I didn't know what the hell it was. It was annoying the hell out of me. I put my head up a couple of times thinking that there was a bug or something flying around the room but there was nothing. So I put my head back down and I tried to go to sleep. I still couldn't sleep so I got up and started looking around the room. I followed it to the TV and I thought there was something wrong with the wiring. So I pulled it forward and Asher sat up on his elbows to see what I was doing. But as soon as he started to talk I put my finger over my lips, telling him to be quiet and I gestured for him to come over to me. He walked over and I showed him the recorder that I found behind the TV. And he was going to pull it down but I stopped him. And I pulled him out into the hallway. " What are you doing?" I whispered. " Someone is listening to u
IVY POV Seeing the look on Lucy's face as she came out of that tunnel was something that I would never forget. She was shocked and knew that she was as good as dead now. And then when Asher went over and shook Axel's hand and thanked him for everything he did, it was classic. I couldn't have pictured it any better. They were all taken to the dungeons underneath the packhouse and a lot of those people had children. So the kids were picked up and they were taken to the orphanage. Because their parents weren't coming home any time soon. I needed to make sure that they were safe. That was one of my responsibilities as the Luna. But the older kids weren't happy. Because they shared the same views as their parents. So they went kicking and screaming and we needed to post guards at the orphanage to make sure that they didn't cause any trouble. It was the older ones that were mostly giving Freya a hard time at school because they thought she was betraying Jackson by being here. When we
I spent three hours in that room with Teagan and she was dragged out all bloody and she couldn't lift her feet so she was dragged back to her cell and she was dumped inside it. Because she was shot up with wolfsbane, she wasn't healing at a wolf's speed. And she was going to be feeling that for a long time. " So, who's next?" Axel asked. " I don't know. It's Asher's turn." I say. " Oh. Thank you baby." He says leaning over and kissing me. " You're welcome. I was definitely going to share with you." I say. So he started looking around and he pointed to one of the men in another cell. So that man was removed from the cell and he was taken to the back room. It had Teagan's blood on the floor and the rope was still hanging from the ceiling. So we just hand to put gloves on and hang him up there without burning ourselves with the wolfsbane. I grabbed a needle out of the bag and jabbed it into his neck and then I sat back and watching Asher at work. He was right. Teagan was luck
ASHER POV I had no idea that Ivy was feeling that way. I can sense her emotions and feelings but the feelings that I have been picking up from her aren't the ones that I would expect to get from her. After she told me about the dream, about our baby boy, it all made sense. She didn't care about hurting these people because of what they were going to do. They were going to really hurt her family. And anyone who knows Ivy, knows that's a big mistake. Family is the one thing that she will definitely kill for. I took Ivy by the hand and we headed back inside and we went upstairs to our room. As soon as I closed the door behind us I saw Ivy start to get undressed and I was standing behind her within seconds and I grabbed her hands that were clutching at the hem of her shirt. She looked at me over her shoulder and I leaned down and kissed her. Capturing her lips with mine and she and I finished taking her shirt off for her. She then turned while still kissing me and I started walking
I ran to Noah to make sure that he was still alive, and I let out a huge sigh of relief when I saw that he was still breathing. He was bleeding and he was injured, but he was alive. " I knew that was the only way to get you alone." Nick says from the door behind me. I turned around slowly and stood up. I was looking for a way out, but I couldn't get out. Not with Noah. I couldn't carry him. He was too big and heavy for me to carry. I was trapped. I wasn't leaving him here alone. " What did you do with Asher?" I asked. " You don't need to worry about him anymore. No one does." Nick smirked at me. " No." I screamed. " Well, you bought them here. You knew what I was. All this blood is on your hands." He says. " Why the hell would I ever want to have anything to do with you? Asher and Ivy are the only ones in this world that have never treated me like shit or tried to use me for my powers. I know that you were going to." I yelled as tears were falling down my face. " Are yo
It only took about half an hour to run to the house while in wolf form because we cut through the woods and we were really fast. It was fun running in wolf form though. I loved it. But when the house came into sight I got a sinking feeling in my stomach. The house was huge. Almost like a mansion but luckily it had a huge yard, because there were other houses next to it. We didn't want civilians getting hurt. And no one said anything about evacuating civilians. So Asher wasn't going to tell the neighbours what was going on. I guess he didn't want to tip Nick off as to what was happening. I looked up at the house and all the windows were blacked out and the sun was just starting to appear but it was still dark. So I shifted back and I quickly got dressed. Noah shifted back for a moment and he grabbed my hand and pulled me to him to kiss me. " I love you." He says. " I love you too. I'll see you soon." I say. And I started walking to the house. As soon as I got to the front doo
My life was compeltely different from what I knew it as. My days were spent with Ivy training with my powers and training how to fight. She was an awesome teacher and I'm glad that I got her instead of the warriors. She was tough on me but she wasn't insanely tough like the other instructors were on the trainees. Noah and I weren't seeing too much of each other. He was going to school and then working after school but we still managed to have dinner together at night and we tried to watch a movie or something to have a bit of time together. Ivy told me that was important. To make sure that we spent as much time together as possible. I guess she knows that from experience. I've heard all the stories of her being kidnapped and going missing and even Asher. They were horrific stories to me and I couldn't do that to Noah. I wanted to make sure that I spent as much time together with him as possible. I knew that they were already making plan to attack Nick's hideout but they were wa
As soon as we got the news that we knew where Nick was staying then Ivy was right on top of me about getting control of my powers. We needed me to learn how to control my powers so I don't hurt the people around me and I only hurt the people I intend on hurting. So she took me to the training grounds that she reserved just for us and we sat on the ground and crossed our legs. " Now, with powers like this meditation is the key to being able to control what you are going to do." Ivy says. " I've never really been one to meditate." I say. " It's concentration. You need to concentrate on what you are doing. Meditation is the key to doing that. You need to learn." Ivy says. " Alright. I'll try." I say. I've always had trouble meditating because there's always too much crap going on inside my head. I know that I need to give it a chance, but I can never calm my mind down long enough for it to actually work. I closed my eyes while sitting on the ground and I took a couple of deep
Every morning Ivy was working me like a dog at training and Noah and I had also started going to school in the pack. We were meeting new kids from the area and it was good to have kids that we at least had something in common with. Noah made friends easier than I did, but at least he never left me alone or anything like that. His friends became my friends and I didn't really mind that. I always seemed to get along better with guys then with girls. And I could tell that a lot of girls were starting to hate me for it. But I didn't really care. It wasn't my fault that I wasn't a girly girl. I was actually surprised that she-wolves were like that. They cared too much about clothes and make up and all the same stuff that regular girls cared about. But that stuff never interested me. And I think it put them off a little bit. But I knew that as long as I had Noah then I would be alright. He had been my lifeline for so long and I guess that wasn't going to change now that we're in this pa
The whole walk back to the packhouse was quiet. No one talked but I was fully aware of how close Ivy and Asher were behind me. They were angry with me. I knew that they were angry with me. I should have told them the truth from the start but I didn't think I had any choice. I had to keep it to myself. Noah was in danger. When we got to the packhouse I noticed that the living room light was on and when I walked inside Noah ran over to me and hugged me. " What the fuck do you think you were doing?" Noah snapped at me while still hugging me. I could actually feel how angry he was. And he was letting me know. That was a lot better than Ivy and Asher. They weren't yelling or screaming or punishing me. They were just quiet. It was really nerve wracking. I knew that they would never trust me again. They didn't have a reason to. I kept a huge secret from them and they needed to know the truth about vampires coming back to their territory. But I thought I would be leaving with them and
That night I didn't get very much sleep at all. I was tossing and turning all night until I finally got up and I went downstairs to the kitchen to get a drink. That's where I bumped into Ivy. She was down there giving the baby a bottle. " I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt." I say. " What are you talking about? It's the middle of the night. I welcome the intrusion at this time of night." She says. And I chuckle. " I just came to get a drink. I can't sleep." I say getting a bottle of water out of the fridge and I sat at the kitchen island next to her. " I can imagine. Tonight was pretty massive for you, wasn't it?" She asked. " Yeah. It was." I say. " I know that things haven't been easy for you. I get that. I know exactly how that is. I grew up knowing my father but I didn't actually know that he was my father. He was the Alpha of my old pack and he raped my mother when she was 14. She got pregnant with me and she was shunned by the whole pack. He ordered the pack to ha
It was clear that we weren't starting school today because school was cancelled. Too many people were concerned about the safety of their children. Apparently this pack has met day walking vampires and didn't want to risk it in case any might be on the land. So we just sat around the packhouse and I was lost in thought for most of the morning while we were sitting in the living room and I saw the kids running around everywhere. All of the kids. Quinn and Patrick included. They really did look like they had ADHD but they were just werewolf kids when Ivy came into the room and their kids ran over and jumped on Ivy. " Regan. The meeting is happening tonight. He insisted that you be there. But there will be a lot of protection so they won't be able to try anything while you're here." Ivy explained. " Where will the meeting take place?" Noah asked. " At the boarder." Ivy replied. " Outside? Really?" I asked nervously. " Trust me. You'll be alright. We will have warriors surro
When we landed at the airport we had to get into more cars that were waiting for us but it was just a short drive to the Blue Moon Pack. I heard that's what they called themselves. " Oh my god. I knew that you owned a large pack, But I never imagined it would be anything like this." Noah says looking out the window. We saw people around everywhere. The town was bigger than his pack town. And as we kept driving we saw three different training grounds with hundreds of warriors training in each other them. Noah was amazed but I was a little terrified. I didn't know what to think. " It's good to be home." Ivy says from the front seat of the car. " Tell me about it. I hope my brothers haven't set fire to anything while we were away." Asher says. " I don't think your brothers are the ones that we need to worry about anymore. I hope the kids didn't set fire to anything while we were away." Ivy says. " Oh yeah. I forgot about them." Asher says. And Ivy hit him in the chest. " I'
