Fainted.Ivanna POV“Jenny,” Draven screeched, picking her up.“Where do you think you are taking her? Who are you?” Her mother screamed at him. “Let go of her.”Draven was about to rush out when Selene grabbed onto his clothes. “Are you deaf? Let go of my daughter!”Draven turned sharply, his eyes shooting deathly glares at her. “You should be glad you are my mate's mother. If not, I could have ripped your head off your stiff neck. Don’t push your luck too far, old rag.” He pushed her away before rushing out.“Stop right there!” she screamed, following him.“I really want to kill her,” I told Ace, who was watching the whole drama silently. “And why are you just watching without saying anything, Ace?”“She isn’t my mate,” he responded.“Then, is that why you were silent?” I demanded. "Tell me, Ace."“Yes. Draven can handle stuff like this,” he stated. “This is his family matter, not mine.”“Wow. I am speechless, Ace. How could you say that? I am disappointed in you.”“Don’t be, darlin
Flashback.Jenny's POV.My life has never been peaceful since I was a child. I was always mistreated by my own mother. She bullied me every day at any chance she got. Growing up, I never knew what it meant to be loved. My mother was a bitter soul from the pit of hell.“Jenny,” Mother screamed my name. "Bastard, come here right now!"Gosh, she is back again. I quickly ran out of my room to answer the call.“Mother. I am here.” She was sitting on the sofa with her boyfriend. They were both kissing.“Bitch, you dare spoil my mood and fun.” She threw her shoes at me. "Are you sick of living?"I thought she was the one who called for me. Why was she angry with me again?“I am sorry,” I apologized. I looked down. I dare not look into her eyes. I was scared and shaking like a leaf. I was scared she would hit me again.“Why are you here?” she asked, furious. "Tell me."“I thought you called for me, Mother,” I replied, still looking down.“Mother?” She scoffed. “I wonder who your mother is. Be
Get rid of your pregnancy.Jenny POV.Meeting her again after so many years still made me tremble. Her impact on my life was horrible. I was scared. I was scared of her hurting me again. I thought I was free from her. Free to live the way I pleased and desired, but she was here. Right here to destroy my happiness. She found me, and she was here to torment me.“I want you to get rid of that bastard in you,” she let out. What! Am I pregnant?“Am I pregnant?” I turned to my mate.“Yes, we are going to be parents soon, Jenny," he replied. A smile on his beautiful face. He caressed my hair. I never knew what love was until I met him. He illuminated my life. He pulled me out of the darkness that swallowed me. He made me feel loved and beautiful. Draven loved me so much, including his father. I rubbed my belly. I was overjoyed with the news I had just learned about. I will be a mom soon. I will give birth to Draven’s child. I will never be like my mother.“Are you deaf, Jenny?” Mother asked.
Ivanna's POV“My queen, don’t you think we need to work harder?” Ace said."I don’t understand you. We need to work harder for what?” He stared into my eyes, a broad smile on his face, the same smile that made me weak in the knees.“Don’t you understand that we need to work harder for you to be able to birth our child?” he asked.“Now I understand what you were trying to say, Ace. You want a child, right?” I questioned, staring at him.“What about you? Don’t you want a child of yours?” he asked. I went mute. I don’t want a child because I don’t think I can be a good mother.My heart beat raced. “I won’t be able to be a good mother to our child, Ace.”“What the heck are you talking about, mate? You will surely be a good mother. Trust me, honey,” he uttered. “You are good at everything.”I inhaled deeply, hearing him say those words to me, which assured me and drowned out my fears.“Are you doubting yourself again, Ivanna?”I looked down, “Yes, I am but...”He lifted my chin with his fo
PoisonIvanna's POV“Are you planning to go see your friend today again?” Ace asked.“I will be doing that when I am done with today’s work," I replied. "I am happy to see she is healthy and resting at home now.”“Okay, send my greetings to her,” he uttered. Why did I feel something was wrong? Ace was never like this.“Honey, are you feeling down? Is something wrong?” I asked, my brows knit in worry.“Nothing, love,” he replied. I had a feeling that he was lying. This wasn’t the Ace I knew. He was definitely keeping something from me. I moved closer to him.“My love,” I whispered softly into his ears. I placed my hand on his chest. “Can you tell me what is wrong?”“Ivan,” he moaned. “Please stop.”“I won’t stop," I groaned. "Not until you tell me what is wrong.”“Well, I was just thinking about Draven’s child," he confessed. "He will soon be a father.”Was that what he was worried about? I thought to myself. A child? Why was he so obsessed with a child? Well, I think I understood him.
FightIvanna's POV“Mother, I don’t understand what you were talking about with father," I stated. "What's going on?"“You won’t understand, but I will make you understand. You see, child.” She sat me down and began explaining things to me.“I can't believe my mate would do something like that to me,” she complained. “Knowing that he had a child with another woman terrified me.”‘You must have felt so betrayed then, mother,” I uttered. “I’m so sorry.”“You don’t have to be," she said. "I have put everything behind me, child. I treated that bitch and her son with love, but she wanted more. She wanted to take my position from me.”“Even till now?” I asked. “She must be really big-eyed. She is so greedy.”“I should have killed her the moment she sent her son to murder Ace," she cried bitterly. "I regretted going soft on her.” I watched as mother complained bitterly. “How dare she come after my son again. I will never forgive her this time. I will have her pay. Make her bleed until she di
CureIvanna's stance.“You are back?" she asked. "So soon?” Mother asked me as soon as I walked inside. I stood beside David, who was attending to my mate.“Yes, mother. I finished them all,” I answered.“So fast?" she inquired. "You didn’t disappoint me, child.” She held my hand, her eyes blinking with joy. “Thank you for protecting the kingdom.”“You don’t have to thank me, mother. It is my duty to protect and guard my people,” I replied. I turned around and faced the healer. “Tell me, have you found a cure?”“Yes, my queen,” he said with a bow.“You don’t have to do this," I stated. "This wasn’t the time for all this. Tell me, what should I do to find the cure, please?”He stared at me before sighing. Is this really serious? Is my mate really going to die?“My queen, the king needs a blood heart to survive," he let out.“What! What the heck are you talking about?” mother screamed. “What kind of method is that?”“Mother, we have to listen to him first,” I uttered. “Tell me, David, w
Killed her.Ivanna's POVI woke up with a throbbing headache. My eyelids were heavy. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn’t. What the heck is going on! Why do I feel this way?“Ivanna,” I heard someone's voice. It was faint. “Please, wake up.”Is someone calling me? Was that my name? “Ivanna,” I heard the voice again.I slowly opened my eyes.“Thank goodness you are awake. How are you feeling?”My head was hurting. It hurts like hell.“Ahha,” I screamed out. The pain was too much for me to bare. I easily let my wolf take control of my body.“Are you okay, child?” A familiar voice asked me. I looked up and peered at the worried face of Ace’s mother. Why am I still alive? Why am I not dead?“Don’t touch me,” Moon growled at her. “Where is he? Where is my mate?”“I want you to calm down, Ivanna,” she said.She turned around and smirked. “I’m different from the native Ivanna. I will ask you again: Where is my mate? Where have you taken him?”“Look here…” His father began. “I know you are
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! I’m 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.“Ivanna, are you in there?” I heard Ace's voice.“Yes, is something the matter, Ace?” I inquired.“Ah! No. I was only worried when I woke up, and I didn’t find you beside me,” he uttered. “Are you okay in there?”“Yes, I’m good,” I replied. “I will be out soon.”“Okay," he replied.After I was satisfied, I stood up and picked up the towel. I wrapped it around my body before heading out.“Ivanna,” Ace called.“What is wrong?” he asked. "Are you sure you are okay? You took so long in there.”“I’m okay, honey.” I removed the towel and started d
Test result.Ivan.“Here are the results of the queen’s tests,” he said, handing Ace the result.“What!” he screamed. “Are you sure about this?”“What did you read? Ace, what is it?” I asked. “Why are you so shocked? What did you see?”He began kissing me all over my face. “Hey, will you stop all this? Don’t you know we were not alone?”Ace continued licking and kissing me in front of everyone, as if I hadn’t said a word.“Are you a dog? Why are you licking me?” I gasped.“Thank you so much, my queen,” he stated.“Why are you thanking me?” I asked. “Let go of me first.”“Ivanna, we will become parents,” he blurted out. “I’m so happy.”“I know that. Is that why you are happy?”“Yes,” he confessed. “I can’t wait to meet them!”“To meet them? Who?” I muttered. “Are you talking about the baby?”“Not baby, my love. They are babies. We have more than a child.” His eyes shone with excitement.“What!” I screamed. “What are you talking about?”“Take a look at this." Ace handed me the test resu
Mother’s Joy.“You don’t have to work, honey. Just sit and watch as I do all the work,” Ace said.Ever since I got pregnant, Ace has been doing all the work. He hardly let me step out.“I will be going to mother’s quarter today, Love,” I stated.‘To do what?” He questioned.“Nothing. I just don’t want to sit all day and do nothing.”“I will stay beside you. You don’t have to stress yourself, darling. I will be right here when you need me.”“You need to go to work. Everything is suffocating me. I need to go for a walk, please. I will stress myself out.”He looked at me, shaking his head. What the hell is going on in that brain?“Ivanna, why don’t you want me to keep you company? Why are you trying to push me away from you and the baby?”“Easy love. I beg of you. Try to understand me.”After going back and forth, he finally gave in.“Walk slowly, love. I don’t want to see you fall,” he uttered. Gosh, is this what Jenny is passing through with her mate? Ace is treating me like a child.“
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.Ace’s POVI slowly opened my eyes to find that I wasn’t in my room.“You are awake, my king.” I heard David's voice. Why is he here? Is my queen sick?I groaned and sat on my bed.“My king, are you alright?” He asked again.“David, why are you here?" I asked. "Is something wrong with the queen?”He laughed. “What is funny, David?” I looked around the room. “Where am I? Where is my mate?”“My king, the queen is fine. I’m glad to see you’re healthy again.” I was about to ask him another question when Ivanna ran in.“Ace.” She rushed and hugged me. She hugged me tightly. “You are back. Thank you, goddess.”“Mate,” I breathed. “You are hugging me so tightly. I am about to die.”“Oh. I’m sorry.” She quickly let go of me. “Are you okay? Show me where it hurts.”She’s so cute. I pinched her soft cheeks. “I’m okay.”“It's so good to see you healthy, son,” mother said, hugging me as well.Why is everyone acting like this? What the hell is wrong with everyone?My father smiled at me
