Chapter 59"What's going on? This is getting way out of hand." Keisha said, observing how fiercely ivy's opponent was fighting. She seemed to be forgetting that it was just a friendly competition and no one was supposed to be maimed or killed."That's Lisa." Amy replied. "She hates Ivy for absolutely no reason and I'm sure she has been waiting for this opportunity to embarrass her.""I'll never understand how you females think." Bruce stated."There seems to be something more." Zeke chipped in. "This is pure hate and anger, not just baseless resentment. There is something dark about her looks."They gasped when they saw her release her claws and aim for ivy's skull. "There's definitely something going on." Amy said, her voice shaky. She relaxed a bit when she saw Ivy dodge the attack. "Maybe we should mind link her and tell her what's going on." Zeke suggested."We might end up distracting her and that won't be good for her. Also, we don't want people thinking she's cheating and get
Chapter 60Amy shut the door immediately they all entered the study. The fight had ended an hour ago and the event had come to an end. The full moon would appear in Three days so they had to disperse and prepare for it.Keisha stood up and walked over to Ivy who sat down, dazed. She was weak and her muscles hurt but it was a relief that she was finally able to prove herself. She smiled when she remembered how Bruce's father had come up to her and acknowledged her after the fight. He had told her then that he wouldn't interfere in her and his son's relationship but would watch how she would win the people's hearts and prove that a lowly Omega was capable of being a Luna. She had done that now."Ivy, what happened in there? We were afraid that crazy woman was going to hurt you really badly." Keisha said, worry in her voice."Hurt? She looked like she was going to kill you." Amy added."She was. That was her plan." Ivy replied, remembering the flash of Lisa's memory she had seen when she
Chapter 61The familiar stones shone brightly, its beams enveloping the dark forest. They were used to the process now and it no longer felt strange. Ivy opened her eyes and found herself on the now familiar grounds of the realm. She had been training frequently for weeks now and this place had become a second home for her.The witches knew who she was now. They were powerful people so it wasn't easy to keep a secret from them. Adah was the witch who discovered who she was and being a blabbermouth, she told everyone else.Adah was a seer, that was her unique gift. She could see into your future as far as the gods allowed. While she had been helping Athena prepare a meal, Ivy had gone in to help out and her medium opened immediately their eyes met. She saw it, that she was a half blood.Ivy remembered that day quite vividly. It had drawn the attention of the people and they had gathered in front of Athena's house, hoping to see the half blood."So, this was the cause of the ripples I'd
Chapter 62The room was dimly lit and the sound of crickets chirping filled the cool night air. Everyone had gone to sleep. There was absolutely no sound. The entire pack house was still and silent.Ivy waited for Bruce to join her on the bed. He had been cooked up in the study all day with his Beta and Gamma strategizing for the battle that was to come. Anika's army was building. They had planted spies in every territory and had spotted the Alphas who met secretly with Marco. It could only mean that they were on his side and we're as greedy as he was to control the entire wolf territories.They had also formed an alliance with other territories with the help of Logan. He had people he could trust and after telling them everything that was going on, they pledged their allegiance to him. Now, they had to prepare and train their men.Ivy had passed by the study and overheard them talking about intensifying the training at the facility. They were debating wether to let everyone know what
Chapter 63The morning was bright with clear skies and no trace of dark clouds. Maids were busy in the kitchen while others worked on setting the table. Different meals were arranged, it's aroma circling through the pack house.Ivy walked hand in hand with Bruce into the dinning room. Everything was to their liking."They're not here yet." Ivy said. She had invited the entire squad for brunch at the pack house and they were yet to arrive."They're here already." Bruce replied after a mindlink with Zeke and just then, Amy and Zeke entered the dining room with cheerful smiles on their faces."Hmm..it smells delicious in here. I've missed the food here." Amy gushed sitting next to Ivy and squeezing her hand affectionately."Are you trying to say the food in my house doesn't taste as good?" Zeke asked grumpily.Amy rolled her eyes and burst into laughter. "I'm saying I grew up eating in this house and I miss it." She replied."Don't worry, I'll have some maids pack some meals for you to t
Chapter 64 Zeke couldn't contain himself, excitement oozed from him. The pack doctor was examining Amy inside while he waited outside. Bruce was with him and so was Isaiah. The females were inside with the doctor. "She's four weeks gone already." Dr Prisca announced, a wide smile on her face. "Make sure to take care of her and ensure she eats right." She said. The women nodded, their excitement matcjinh the doctor's. "We'll have her visit the hospital regularly." "Perfect." She replied and nodded her greeting before leaving the room. "Congratulations Amy. You have no idea how happy I am. There's finally some good news for a change." Ivy said. "This pup needs to be brought into a peaceful world Ivy." Keisha said amidst happy sobs. "We need to take care of the Anika situation fast." "I know. It's the full moon tonight but there's only a fifty-fifty chance that I'll shift. If I don't, I'll still find a way to access the book. There has to be a way." "You'll figure it out. I know y
Chapter 65"Amy." A voice called softly like it was being carried by the wind."Ivy?" Amy asked, trying to figure out if really she was awake and was actually in a mind link with Ivy. She remembered turning in for the night since the doctor told her she couldn't shift for a while because of the baby. She was supposed to rest and remain at the pack house."It's me, Amy. Something is happening and I need you ""What's wrong?" Amy asked, sleep vanishing from her eyes. "Where are you?""Bruce and Gamma Rose just left me. They got a mindlink from Zeke at the border that there's been a rogue attack. I think I'm going to shift and it's frightening. I'm all alone. What if the rogues get to me and I'm too weak to fight them off because it's my first time?""Calm down Ivy, tell me where you are exactly and I'll come find you." She replied, getting up and putting on a jacket. It was a cold night."I'm in the forest, close to the lake right after the facility.""Okay, hold on. I'm coming She ope
Chapter 66Their eyes were emotionless and showed how ready they were to kill. They were outlaws, wolves that did whatever they wanted and knew no such thing as mercy. And their target was Amy.She couldn't fight them off in her condition, it would make things worse and she could get hurt."Ivy!" Bruce called out to her in a mindlink "don't make any move on your own, okay? Wait where you are, were coming to get you and Amy, do you understand?""It'll be too late Bruce. She's in danger. Rose is on her way so don't worry too much.""Ivy, listen to me.."But she broke off the mind link and focused her attention on the wolves who growled and moved closer to Amy. "Hey! You're really here for me, aren't you? What are you waiting for them?" Ivy yelled, trying to distract them and draw their attention to her.They turned and walked towards her."Ivy!" Amy called in a mind link. "You can't fight off all of them. They are crazy rogues who have lived lawlessly for a while and they won't hesitat
EPILOGUEIvy opened her eyes and shut it again, her eyes flinching from the intense sunlight. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands and opened them. Sitting up, she removed the blankets from her body and wore her slipper."It's today!" She said excitedly and hurried downstairs. The entire pack house was in a frenzy. The house was full already even though the party hadn't started. How could this number be involved in the decorations?Today was both her Luna ceremony and Amy's naming ceremony. She had been in a coma for months after her encounter with Anika. When she woke up, Athena made sure to explain everything that happened. During the fight, Ivy had let Amary take over her body and used her powers to drain Anika's powers till she had nothing left. It was a risk she had had to take even though she knew that much power could kill her. She slipped into a coma after.Ivy felt a hand wrap around her waist and she turned to see Bruce standing behind her, a smile on his face. "Y
Chapter 76Bruce rushed at Marco and lifted him up by his collar, suspending him mid air. His eyes burned with anger, his gaze murderous."Are you alright?" Bruce asked Ivy, not taking his eyes from Marco.Ivy breathed deeply, relief washing over her. He was back. Whatever spell or mind game Anika was playing, it was nothing compared to their bond and their love. "I'm fine." She replied.Cassandra rushed in just then, her eyes widening in alarm. Bruce had suddenly flared up and broke everything on the table, rushing out of the dining in rage. She had no idea what had happened and followed him only to end up in the maid's quarters."Marco!" Evelyn yelled. She had followed them here too when she noticed her mate had disappeared. Anger was visible on her face. "What the hell are you doing here Marco? You left me out there to come be with this woman?" She yelled, looking him over. Her eyes rested on his open zipper and it dawned on her just what he was after."You shameless piece of shit!
Chapter 75"Are you sure this is alright?" Evelyn asked, a little nervous. She was scared of Bruce ever since the day he almost choked her for attempting to hurt Ivy. If Marco hadn't come for her, he would definitely have killed her. Both their packs weren't on good terms. They weren't at war, but they weren't allies either."Don't worry, Anika has them trapped in her own world and they only remember whatever she's put in their minds. It's Anika we should be weary of, her powers are incredible. Sometimes I ask myself if we're even in our right minds or if she's using us too.""She's not. If you suspect it and question it, then you're in your right mind." Evelyn replied.The stopped talking and plastered a smile on their faces when Cassandra walked towards them, her hands intertwined in Bruce's. She smiled radiantly and bowed in greeting, grinning from ear to ear. They read her expression. She was excited, having gotten everything she ever wanted. Bruce was hers now and Ivy had been re
Chapter 74Heels clicked in the distance and a faint taps echoed on the floor and through the hall as the footsteps approached. A light, happy him trailed the footsteps and Bruce immediately knew who it was. Cassandra had been in a chatty mood all day."Did you like the dinner that much? Or is it the wedding that's making you all giddy?" He teased as she opened the door and walked in."Both." She replied, planting a soft kiss in his cheek. "Why are you always cooked up in your study?" She asked, a playful frown on her face."I've just got a lot to settle so I won't have to much to do on our honeymoon." He said, causing her to smile brightly."You're a smart man." She replied, strangling him. "But still, can I steal you for thirty minutes? There's something I really need to show you." She said, a sexy smile on her face."You got me baby." Bruce replied, pushing the paperwork to a corner of the table. Cassandra kissed him hungrily in his lips and ran her fingers throubj his hair. Bruce
Chapter 73The floor was cold and damp and the halls echoed her screams to be let out of the prison. The warriors guarding the prison gate made sure to ignore everything she said as though she wasn't even there.Ivy sat down on the floor, exhausted from her futile protests. She buried her face in her hands and her shoulders shook with the wave of anguish that hit her. Bruce's eyes had held anger and no trace of the love it once held for her reflected in his gaze. 'It wasn't his fault,'' he was under a spell" she told herself repeatedly but it hurt her still. How could he not recognize his own mate?"Ivy?" Lana called, her eyes the colour of burning amber."Lana! Thank goodness you're here, I'm so frustrated right now. What are we going to do?""It seems Anika has them all fooled. They're lost inside this world Anika has created and they have no idea. We need to find a way to get them out of that world. It's the only way to bring them back or they'll be lost in there forever.""How do
Chapter 72Fighting them wasn't an option, it would only make Bruce more angry and he wouldn't listen to her explanations. It wasn't their fault anyway. No one had thought Anika would attack them this way. It was supposed to be her. Now, they were trapped. How would she get out of this and find a way to help them?She looked at Bruce's dark expression and saw disgust in his eyes. How could he look at her that way? His eyes had only held love and devotion for her.It wasn't his fault, but she couldn't help but feel bad about it. She was his mate no matter what. How could he not recognize her? "Take her and lock her away in the dungeon. She'll pay for attacking her Luna and threatening her!" Bruce ordered.The warriors bowed and began to pull her away. She thought of what to do in that instance. She could fight them off if she wanted to and could easily escape but if she did, they would realize that she wasn't just a regular wolf. She would have to use her wit h powers too. It worried
Chapter 71Something was off. There was definitely something different about the pack house but ivy couldn't quite figure out what it was.The place was unusually quiet and it was already evening. Bruce would be in his study and Amy said she was going to wait for her at the pack house. With Amy around, there was bound to be some chatter. But it was silent.She entered the pack house and found the maids busy, serving the tables and decorating the dining with scented candles and rose petals. What was going on?Ivy smiled realizing that she had probably walked into a surprise proposal from Bruce. Was he going to officially ask her to marry him? She was his mate and it was a given that they would be together, but, what woman wouldn't want a romantic proposal and an even more romantic wedding?With everything going on, they hadn't been able to focus on themselves and the life they wanted together. She was pleased that despite all this, he still found the time to prepare something so beauti
Chapter 70Thelma lived at the outskirts of the realm, away from everyone. The woods was her home and nature her companion. She sat down on a fallen tree branch staring out into the open, her feet playing with the water beneath her. She had always enjoyed sitting by the lake."Athena." She called immediately they walked in. She still had her back turned to them and it made Ivy wonder how she knew who they were."Thelma, I see you haven't lost your touch." Athena replied.Thelma got up on her feet and picked up her wooden staff that laid next to her. She turned to face them and ivy's mouth hung open. Her eye balls were blue, but a white veil covered it she was blind."You brought the half blood with you." She said with a smile. "Amary kept her promise and returned after all." "You live here by yourself?" Ivy found herself asking. How could a blind woman survive out here in the forest on her own?"Yes, my dear. I've lived here for over a hundred years." She replied. "I know this place
CHAPTER 69"What's taking them so long?" Amy asked, pacing from one end of the room to the other, a worried look on her face. They had been gone for hours now and no one had heard anything from them. Amy had tried to mind link Ivy and so had Bruce, but none of them could get through. There seemed to be a force blocking them.The door opened and Ivy walked in, Athena behind her. They stood up on their feet, when they saw them entering."How did it go?" Keisha asked. She must have been the most anxious because from the moment Luna Eloise handed Ivy to her the night of Anika's attack, protecting ivy and getting her ready to fight Anika had been a responsibility that weighed on her.Ivy reached Into her bag and brought out the book. She placed it on the table and everyone stared at it in confusion."This is the book we found at your place." Bruce said. "Have you been able to read it?""Open it." Ivy said, her expression clipped.The others exchanged confused glances but Bruce reached for
