Chapter Eighteen– Anna’s lies
Ivanna’s POV.
Weeks went by and Jenny and I grew closer. Living here didn't feel like hell anymore, thanks to her. We spent all our time together, and the only time we were apart was whenever I had to go see Rocco.
It was another busy day in the Packhouse. Jenny and I had a lot of clothes to wash and we were on it when Mary walked up to us.
"You girls seem to be having the best time of your life," she sneered. As if that was true.
Ever since Jenny disobeyed her, she had been giving us piles of clothes to wash. We almost did all the work around here and Lily wouldn't stop throwing eye daggers at us either. They were both still pained by Jenny's incident and I doubt they would ever move on from that.
"It seems the work assigned to you isn't big enough. That's why you both still have the time to c
Chapter Nineteen โ Youโre the killer.Ivannaโs POVI was almost done with cleaning the room when Alpha walked in with Luna June. I bowed but all she did was stare at me angrily.What did I do this time? Why was she giving me such a deadly look? The Alpha excused himself and left. It was just me alone with Luna June."What have you done again?" She asked with an aggressive approach. "Did you sleep with my husband again?""No, I didnโt." I immediately defended myself."I can smell his cum in this room and a female's scent is lingering on his body," she pointed out. "How dare you sleep with him again, bitch? I forgave you the last time and let it slide. Now, you dare to do it again with him. You fucked him again because you enjoyed having his cock inside your pussy, right?"It was hard and painful listening to her accusing me, but I tried to handle the situation as much as I could."I'm sorry for the last time, Luna. I was forced by your husband. I was raped," I clarified. "But I want yo
Chapter Twenty โ What are you talking about?Ivanna's POV"What are you talking about?" She moved backwards. Like she was terrified. And her fingers were trembling. She sat on the bed and almost at the same time she stood and was pacing. Even her voice was barely audible. "You killed her, June," I repeated, slightly puzzled by her chaotic reaction. "You were there when she died. Who knows what you fed her before I came in.""I didn't kill her. I couldn't have. I'm not a fucking killer!" She shrieked, grabbing a handful of her hair and yanking it.What the hell was going on with her? I hadn't expected such a reaction from her. She seemed so coordinated and bold earlier. How did she become so disturbed over a question?Was she really the killer? Nah, she couldn't be. Maybe she was still terrified of that day. Maybe her weird reaction was a traumatic response. But her eyesโฆthey glowed. Like she was hiding something.Should I threaten her more? It could make her snap and she would spill
Chapter Twenty-oneโ See You SoonIvannaโs POVThe packhouse was bustling with activities. A bit more than usual. I was drowned in an ocean of duties that I barely found time to catch my breath. It didn't help that Mary had her eyes on me, not giving me a slight chance to stretch my aching body or take a little break. I dared to stand and do a little twist, but she was already yelling. "Hey. What are you still waiting for, idiot? Arenโt you going to work?!""As you can see, Ma'am, Iโm working," I replied with a subtle eye roll.I stayed down until I was done with all my chores. Settling on the floor, I took a little rest. But here she came again, fierce and mean."Stop lazing around and go help out in the kitchen!""Yes, maโam." I stood, ignoring the pain resting in my joints. I hurried inside the kitchen. Lily and the other girls were already there and they all turned to me with glares. "Come over here and help me," Mirinda said. She was one of Lily's sidekicks. "Don't stand ove
Chapter Twenty-Two. A New Tag Ivannaโs POV I hurried out of her room and ran back to the maid's quarters. Unfortunately, I bumped into Lily's sidekicks. A simple apology wouldn't cut it, but I still muttered one, and took a step, but got pulled back. "Why are you in a hurry?" Mirinda asked, crossing her arms over her chest. "Did you do something shameful again? Who did you kill this time?" I looked at her. And then at her girls. It was obvious they were trying to initiate a fight. But I knew better than to fall for their trick. Without uttering a word, I walked past her. Strolling the hallways and checking all the rooms, I finally found Mary directing a group of girls to put up some decorations on the walls. She spotted me approaching her, so I didn't have to get her attention. "Are you done with the cleaning?" "Yes, ma'am." "Good. Now get to work. Help them with the decorations. I want everything to be perfect. Is it clear?" She yelled into my ears. "Crystal, Ma'am." It
Chapter Twenty-Three. Taste of deathIvanna's POV"I'll make you the skank of all skanks. The bitches of all bitches. And the whore of all whores. You'll love that, won't you?" Anna laughed like she was having the time of her life. She was serious. And it made my heart bleed. To think we used to be best friends."What did I do to you, Anna? What went wrong between us? Didn't we used to be friends?""Friends? You were never my friend. I only hung out with you because of your rank in the pack," she said with a terrifying resentment. "You had it all, Ivanna. The good stuff, they were all yours while I had nothing. No one loved me. I was the Delta's daughter, but that didn't count. Everyone treated me like trash because of my motherโs lowly background. But you had so much love. Everyone wanted to be your friend. Do you know how sick that made me feel?""But I loved you, Anna. I shared everything I had with you. And I was always by your side when you felt sad. I made sure no one dared to
Chapter Twenty-four. A GiftIvanna's POV"Release her!" Anna commanded.I was dragged to the Pack's hall where the Alpha and a few people were waiting. On getting there, the guards threw me on the floor."Here she is, Alpha," Anna said, bowed, and took her seat beside her father."Tell me, Killer. Why did you steal her jewelry?" Alpha asked. He was already accusing me like he saw me do it. "I didnโt steal it, Master," I replied, amidst tears. "I'm innocent.""Innocent, you say? That's impossible. A killer can hardly be innocent. So it's hard to believe anything that comes out from that cheap mouth of yours, killer,"He stood up and walked towards me. "Hmmm! Whatโs that stench?!" He covered his nose. "Donโt tell me that stench is coming from you?"I looked down, not daring to look into his eyes. Everyone laughed and made exaggerated sniffing sounds. Rocco was also there. But he didn't try to help me out. Instead, he joined his father in humiliating me. "She always has a stench arou
Chapter Twenty-Five. The KingIvanna's POVThe guards put the chain around my neck and dragged me like a dog to where the celebration was being held. With the tag that labeled me as a ‘whore and killer' dangling around my neck, I was a good target for ridicule. People we met on our way to the party mocked and stoned me as if I had committed some sort of treason.We got to the double door of the party hall and the guards halted."One more thing. Miss Anna asked us to tell you that your performance determines how quickly you’d be released. You should also think about your little, crazy-ass friend. If you want her to live, and if you wanna get out of here quickly, you must put on a good performance."That heartless slut! How dare she involve Jenny in this? She sure was the meanest. But if she did say this, then that meant she did have plans of hurting Jenny. I shouldn't give her the chance to
Chapter Twenty-six. She Is My Mate Ivanna's POV "Who are you?" The king asked calmly but with a deadly, subtle growl. Anyone could detect the malice in his tone. "I'm sorry I didn't formally introduce myself. My name is Alpha Dean. I'm the Alpha of this prestigious Pack." Master gloated. "Did I ask you to lift your head?" The king inquired with a howl. "Such an act of disrespect! How dare you?!" "Huh?" Master's eyes widened. He hadn't expected such a lethal reaction from the King. "Iโm sorry, My King." He immediately bowed his head. "Now lift your head," The king commanded, just the next second. "Are you deaf? I just asked you to lift your fucking head!" There was a tide of displeasure in the King's tone against Master and I wasn't sure why. Master was visibly terrified. He was quivering like a child, as he raised his head again. The whole hall felt suffocating with the loud silence and raw fear. I seemed to be the only one who wasn't quivering in fear. But why should I? The
Epilogue.Ivanna POVI woke up staring at my mate, who was peacefully sleeping beside me. It had been months since I got pregnant, and mother had been taking good care of me. She kept bringing healthy soups for me. I gently stood up and walked into the bathroom. Oh my! Iโm sore all over my body. My core aches. I sat in the bathtub, turned on the water, and began bathing. I lingered in the bath for a long time, appreciating what it had to offer me.โIvanna, are you in there?โ I heard Ace's voice.โYes, is something the matter, Ace?โ I inquired.โAh! No. I was only worried when I woke up, and I didnโt find you beside me,โ he uttered. โAre you okay in there?โโYes, Iโm good,โ I replied. โI will be out soon.โโOkay," he replied.After I was satisfied, I stood up and picked up the towel. I wrapped it around my body before heading out.โIvanna,โ Ace called.โWhat is wrong?โ he asked. "Are you sure you are okay? You took so long in there.โโIโm okay, honey.โ I removed the towel and started d
Test result.Ivan.โHere are the results of the queenโs tests,โ he said, handing Ace the result.โWhat!โ he screamed. โAre you sure about this?โโWhat did you read? Ace, what is it?โ I asked. โWhy are you so shocked? What did you see?โHe began kissing me all over my face. โHey, will you stop all this? Donโt you know we were not alone?โAce continued licking and kissing me in front of everyone, as if I hadnโt said a word.โAre you a dog? Why are you licking me?โ I gasped.โThank you so much, my queen,โ he stated.โWhy are you thanking me?โ I asked. โLet go of me first.โโIvanna, we will become parents,โ he blurted out. โIโm so happy.โโI know that. Is that why you are happy?โโYes,โ he confessed. โI canโt wait to meet them!โโTo meet them? Who?โ I muttered. โAre you talking about the baby?โโNot baby, my love. They are babies. We have more than a child.โ His eyes shone with excitement.โWhat!โ I screamed. โWhat are you talking about?โโTake a look at this." Ace handed me the test resu
Motherโs Joy.โYou donโt have to work, honey. Just sit and watch as I do all the work,โ Ace said.Ever since I got pregnant, Ace has been doing all the work. He hardly let me step out.โI will be going to motherโs quarter today, Love,โ I stated.โTo do what?โ He questioned.โNothing. I just donโt want to sit all day and do nothing.โโI will stay beside you. You donโt have to stress yourself, darling. I will be right here when you need me.โโYou need to go to work. Everything is suffocating me. I need to go for a walk, please. I will stress myself out.โHe looked at me, shaking his head. What the hell is going on in that brain?โIvanna, why donโt you want me to keep you company? Why are you trying to push me away from you and the baby?โโEasy love. I beg of you. Try to understand me.โAfter going back and forth, he finally gave in.โWalk slowly, love. I donโt want to see you fall,โ he uttered. Gosh, is this what Jenny is passing through with her mate? Ace is treating me like a child.โ
This chapter contains a sex scene. Skip if you are not interested in reading.Ivanna's POVI thought Ace was joking when he said he wasn't done with me until he got down from the bed and walked to the bedside drawer. The sound of foil tearing filled the room, and he was back on the bed before I knew it. "Turn around," he commanded, and I rolled over and lay down on my stomach. He crawled behind me and grabbed my hip, pushing it up in the air."I want to fuck you from behind, and I want to hear you scream my name," he said. He pushed down my lower back until I was arching for him.I took in a deep shuddering breath while he took his sweet little time rubbing his massive cock against the slick folds of my cunt. He knows how much that drives me crazy and how it makes me ache and beg for him. "Please..." I pleaded. I wanted him to stop teasing me and fuck me at the same time, but Ace wasn't done yet.His hand snaked around my throat and held me still against the bedsheet. Without any warn
Well again.Aceโs POVI slowly opened my eyes to find that I wasnโt in my room.โYou are awake, my king.โ I heard David's voice. Why is he here? Is my queen sick?I groaned and sat on my bed.โMy king, are you alright?โ He asked again.โDavid, why are you here?" I asked. "Is something wrong with the queen?โHe laughed. โWhat is funny, David?โ I looked around the room. โWhere am I? Where is my mate?โโMy king, the queen is fine.

I pinched her soft cheeks. โIโm okay.โโIt's so good to see you healthy, son,โ mother said, hugging me as well.Why is everyone acting like this?

Killed her.Ivanna's POVI woke up with a throbbing headache. My eyelids were heavy. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldnโt. What the heck is going on! Why do I feel this way?โIvanna,โ I heard someone's voice. It was faint. โPlease, wake up.โIs someone calling me? Was that my name? โIvanna,โ I heard the voice again.I slowly opened my eyes.โThank goodness you are awake. How are you feeling?โMy head was hurting. It hurts like hell.โAhha,โ I screamed out. The pain was too much for me to bare. I easily let my wolf take control of my body.โAre you okay, child?โ A familiar voice asked me. I looked up and peered at the worried face of Aceโs mother. Why am I still alive? Why am I not dead?โDonโt touch me,โ Moon growled at her. โWhere is he? Where is my mate?โโI want you to calm down, Ivanna,โ she said.She turned around and smirked. โIโm different from the native Ivanna. I will ask you again: Where is my mate?

CureIvanna's stance.โYou are back?" she asked. "So soon?โ Mother asked me as soon as I walked inside. I stood beside David, who was attending to my mate.โYes, mother. I finished them all,โ I answered.โSo fast?" she inquired. "You didnโt disappoint me, child.โ She held my hand, her eyes blinking with joy. โThank you for protecting the kingdom.โโYou donโt have to thank me, mother. It is my duty to protect and guard my people,โ I replied. I turned around and faced the healer. โTell me, have you found a cure?โโYes, my queen,โ he said with a bow.โYou donโt have to do this," I stated. "This wasnโt the time for all this. Tell me, what should I do to find the cure, please?โHe stared at me before sighing. Is this really serious? Is my mate really going to die?โMy queen, the king needs a blood heart to survive," he let out.โWhat! What the heck are you talking about?โ mother screamed. โWhat kind of method is that?โโMother, we have to listen to him first,โ I uttered. โTell me, David, w
