[Ivan’s POV]

I held my breath as Pixie’s mother examined us, considering the question I had just asked her. I knew that I was asking a lot, but if we didn’t find somewhere to stay, then things could go incredibly south very fast, and we didn’t have enough time to turn back and then try again.

"Of course." Pixie’s mom finally responded. "We have a few empty rooms in the barracks for you. It isn’t much, but it should be enough. "

"Just a few stable walls would do, ma am." I assured, letting a grateful smile spread across my face.

"Thank you." Arissa added. "I’m Arissa, and this is Ivan. We are the leaders of the Fulgur and Tonitru packs."

Pixie's mother's eyes grew wide at Arissa’s words. It seemed that even this tribe had heard about us. However, I wasn’t quite sure if that was a good or a bad thing.

"What’s wrong, mama?" Pixie asked, taking in her mother’s shocked form. "Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?"

"Pixie!" Her mother scolded, shooting the tiny girl a look. "Do you have

    [Arissa’s POV]Later that evening, as the blizzard that was threatening our travel was raging, Ivan and I lay in bed. Where as I was laying on my back enjoying the warmth that surrounded me, Ivan had his head on my stomach listening to our pups’ heartbeats.We were lucky enough to be granted shelter from the Baculum tribe, and after being fed and provided with live entertainment, we were led to our separate quarters where we could get some rest."Could you stop doing that?" I sighed, beginning to feel slightly self-conscious. "No matter how many times you listen, the sound won’t change.""Does it make you uncomfortable?" Ivan asked, giving me a mischevious grin.Shit, maybe I should have kept my mouth shut. Usually, when I gave way to things that actually bugged me, Ivan would…As if reading my mind, Ivan lifted a hand and placed it on my stomach beside his head."Hey, little guys." He cooed, beginning to rub. "Do you hear what your mommy is saying?"Biting back the grimace that wante

  • The Untouchable Alpha's Unhinged Luna   A Surprise Attendee

    [Ivan’s POV]I woke the next morning to dim light shining through the only window mine and Arissa’s room possessed. It seemed that the storm that had been raging the night before was finally over and we could continue on our journey.At least that was what I hoped. Given how bad the blizzard had been, there was a chance that the snow would be too high to travel properly. If that were the case, we would have to stay for a few more days until it melted. However, we didn’t have the luxury of wasting time like that. Arissa’s time was running out, and I would be damned if I allowed her to leave me.Trying to ignore the sudden panic that was racing through me, I looked over to where the woman in question was still sleeping soundly. After keeping her up for most of the night, fucking like rabbits, I was sure that she was exhausted.Allowing a slow smile to begin to form on my lips, I leaned over and kissed between her shoulder blades, earning myself a low grumble. Letting a slow smile spread

    [Arissa’s POV]"Arissa…""You deserve this.""Die."The disembodied voices drifted in and out of the darkness, threatening to pull me towards them while I fought to get away. Dammit, this was really beginning to get old.Groaning, I turned over and opened one eye to find my mother sitting in the corner of the room watching me with hollow eyes."Even in death, you refuse to go away?" I grumbled, beginning to sit up. "Did you enjoy the show last night? Should I perform it for you again?"Throwing my legs over the side of the bed, I let the blanket that had been tightly wrapped around me fall to my waist, revealing my bare chest. Giving an amused smirk, I got up from the bed and stretched."You’re still there?" I asked, taking in my mother once more. "I much prefer the company of the creepy children.""Arissa," my mother’s weak voice groaned. "Why did you kill me?""Why?" I responded, leaning in close enough to be able to see the flames flickering in her hollow eyes. "Because I wanted to

Pixie responded, giving a satisfied sigh."Great." I said, leaning forward in my seat. "We’ve wasted enough time waiting for the kid to eat her fill."If I had known that the first thirty or so minutes of this gathering would involve watching a child stuff her face, I would have spent a bit more time in bed with Arissa. After all, that would be a hell of a lot more enjoyable than this."You could just leave." Pixie snapped, shooting me a fierce look. "No one is holding you hostage.""Pixie," Lindsey warned. "Have you already forgotten what I told you about this man?""Yeah, yeah," Pixie puffed.As she spoke, she let her gaze look me up and down. Clearly,this child was doubting me. I would have to be sure to show her just what I was made of before we parted ways."Maybe we should begin this meeting." Grant suggested, lookin

    [Arissa’s POV]I lifted my hands to block my eyes as the too bright of light that was encasing me threatened to blind me. Despite my attempts at breaking free, I found that the light was a physical thing. A thing so powerful it made escaping impossible.Squinting I found Ivan’s horrified gaze as my body began to feel like it was being ripped to pieces. What the hell was going on exactly? ‘A trap.’ Rosario growled. ‘We let them trick us!’At her words, my heart clenched painfully. Shit, I was careless and now I couldn’t do anything except watch the world around me disappear. When the light finally began to subside, I found myself standing in the middle of a large round room. Surrounding me were more of the cloaked bastards that had attacked the Baculum tribe's compound."Who are you?" I snarled, attempting to attack but finding that I was unable to move. "LET ME GO AND FIGHT YOU COWARDS!"Maybe trying to instigate a fight wasn’t the best of ideas, but just the feel of being helpless

I ordered, preparing to climb the tree closest to me."Wait!"Turning, I watched as the rest of our group rushed up, followed by Lindsey and Grant, with Pixie picking up the rear."What is it?" I asked Lindsey as she managed to reach me. "If it is about putting your tribe in danger I…""No," Lindsey said quickly, cutting me off. "We’re going with you.""Yeah!" Pixie added, giving a big toothy grin. "This became personal when they decided to come onto our land.""And you aren’t going anywhere without me or Catori!" Nazhoni called, popping out from between Dax and Osiris. "Those bastards took my cute Arissa. I’m going to kill them with my bare hands. "Opening my mouth I prepared to argue, but stopped as I took in the determined group in front of me. Maybe it would be better to have them all come along. After all, we didn’t know how big the Doragon pack was."OK," I said, sighing. "But the kid should stay behind."Even if I was fine with the others

    [Arissa’s POV]I opened and closed my eyes, entertaining myself with the dead children that disappeared and reappeared with each blink. Playing this game was the only thing keeping me sane as pain and exhaustion rushed through me.Letting out a sigh, I looked around until my eyes came to rest on my mother and father as they stood in the corner together."Enjoying this?" I called. "I bet you are right, mother."In a flash, she was suddenly in front of me, causing a yelp of shock to escape me."You deserve this." She purred, lifting a clawed hand and gripping my chin. "You ruined everything.""Yeah, yeah," I hissed, jerking my head away. "I’ve been hearing that pretty fucking often these days."Wincing at the feeling of my skin being pierced, I continued to stare into my mother’s hollow eyes. If I had known that she was going to haunt me like this, I would have left the bitch alive. At least when she was still warm and breathing, she wasn’t up my ass like this."Could you get the hell o

    [Arissa’s POV]I don’t know how long I lay there trying to process what had just happened. There was just no way that it could be real. It couldn’t. Ivan had to be playing a sick joke, pretending to be swallowed up by the earth itself. If I just stayed here, he would reappear and we would go home together."Come out alright, idiot." I muttered, slowly beginning to raise myself. "This isn’t funny anymore.""Arissa?"Turning, I watched as Stefan and Nazhoni made their way into the dungeon, followed by Hans and Lindsey. "What are you doing?" Stefan asked, quickly stooping down beside me. "Where is Ivan?""Ivan?" I whimpered, feeling the hollowness in me increase by the mere mention of his name. "He’s…" Biting back the sob that wanted to escape, I found that I couldn’t finish my sentence. If I even said the words, it would make this whole thing real. If I just remained quiet and didn’t address it, it wouldn’t come true. It couldn’t."He’s?" Stefan urged. "Did something happen to him?""I

    [Ivan’s POV]Two weeks have passed by in a blur since Rose Woods was taken down and Arissa’s curse was lifted. Two weeks filled with court hearings and punishment issuing, not to mention making deals with the nomads in regards to Catori’s part in Arissa’s torture.In the end, we agreed to allow him to go back with Nazhoni and Rome to be tried for his treachery.Despite my hesitance to let him out of my sight after everything Theodore and Giselle did after I spared them, Arissa convinced me to let them take him.Now, I sat in the front of the execution chamber, watching as Theodore was strapped down to a wooden chair. His dark gaze bore into me, as if his hatred towards me would end up killing me before he was killed."Ready, alpha." Igor announced once he was secured. "Shall we get started?"Nodding, I lifted a hand, and motioned for him to proceed.Leaning back, I crossed my arms across my chest while Igor filled a syringe with a strong dose of poison that was sure to kill even the s

"Are you sure you don’t want me to take one of them?"Shaking my head, I pulled Apollo and Conal closer to myself as I stepped out of the carriage we were in and let the familiar scent of Tonitru territory hit my nose.After rescuing our children and packmates, Ivan and I decided to head straight for Tonitru since our packmates and friends could handle the rest of Rose Woods. Despite still feeling on edge about something going wrong, I allowed Ivan to convince me to come here so that we could finally end all of this."Where is it?" I asked, beginning to make my way towards the pack house. "Are you sure that it is here?""Where is your family burial grounds located?" Ivan asked instead."This way." I responded, motioning towards the back of the building. "It is just back there, a little ways into the woods."Nodding, Ivan wrapped an arm around my waist and began to lead us in the direction I pointed out.

    [Ivan’s POV]I surged forward, making my way towards the compound in front of me. All around me, everyone was beginning to shift, but I didn’t feel like using my wolf to fight. Instead, I felt like using the new abilities that I recently acquired thanks to finishing the trials.‘Congratuatlions.’ The being murmured as I moved. ‘You’ve done well.’‘No shit.’ I huffed in response. ‘I am me after all.’‘I wish you the best, alpha god.’ the being announced.‘God?’ I repeated, but I was only met with silence. What the hell?Turning back to the situation at hand, I had just enough time to spot a large white wolf shooting across the grounds and diving through a window."Arissa."Breaking off from my group, I headed in the direction that she went. When I arrived, I could hear chaos breaking out from within."Just couldn’t wait on me." I sighed, diving through the window she had managed to break to find Arissa ripping out the throat of a large man with beady eyes. All around her were bodies t

    [Arissa’s POV]"What’s your plan?" I asked, trying to hide the shock that was racing through me.I don’t know exactly what I expected when Ivan pinpointed the traitor, but I still couldn’t quite believe that it was the silent giant Catori. "He needs to be locked up for now." Ivan responded slowly.Nodding, I looked towards where Stefan stood, dumbfounded. At least everyone here was reflecting the same emotions I felt."Take him to join Giselle and Theodore." I continued, "After that, we need someone to take care of the bodies in the engine room.""That’s my luna," Ivan beamed, causing my cheeks to flush. "Taking control just like the leader you are.""Now isn’t the time." I warned, trying to keep my embarrassment over being praised under control. "We should be arriving at our destination soon and need to handle matters here."Chuckling, Ivan simply nodded while giving me an approving smile. Shit, the man was dangerous, especially when he flashed those pearly whites."Here, he’s all y

    [Ivan’s POV]"Let’s go."Grabbing Arissa’s hand, I began to move. I needed Stefan to let me into whatever room that was so that I could see if the person responsible’s essence was still lingering."Are we mole hunting?" Arissa asked, seeming to perk up."Something like that."Since she wasn’t aware that determining who the killer was would break her curse, I wanted to keep it a surprise. Especially if I wasn’t able to find them. ‘Don’t think like that.’ Bastian warned. ‘This determines whether or not we get to stay with our mate.’‘I know.’ I snapped.I promised many times that I would rip apart heaven and hell to be with her, but there was always that what if deep in my heart. Of course, I refused to listen to that what if, but it didn’t mean the bastard wasn’t there.Shaking off any doubts, I hurried down the stairs that led to the bunk areas to find Stefan slouched on the floor, guarding Hans, who was fast asleep."Ssssshhhhh." He hissed as I opened my mouth to speak. "He just fel

    [Ivan’s POV]I bit back the laugh that wanted to escape as Arissa’s cheeks turned a bright shade of red. Goddess, she was beautiful, and when she flushed it made her so damn sexy, as it reminded me of when we were alone and..."You have quite the smooth tongue." She murmured, trying to regain her composure. "How do you stay so serious when spouting such bullshit?""Bullshit?" I repeated."That’s right."If she wanted to claim what I said was bullshit, I would show her true bullshit. However, as I prepared to speak, I felt a slight tap on my consciousness. Frowning, I allowed whoever it was to enter and immediately regretted it.‘Sorry to disturb.’ The being chuckled, even though it was clear that it wasn’t sorry. ‘But I have to remind you that there is still one more trial.’Right… If I wanted to stay here with Arissa, I needed to complete the final trial, but what the hell was it?"What’s wrong?"Letting out a long breath, I fixed my gaze on Arissa’s and gave an apologetic smile.

    [Arissa’s POV]My heart raced and I wondered if I was hallucinating or if this was another fucking jinn. How was it possible that when all hell was beginning to break loose, the person I needed the most would appear?"I-Ivan," I whispered, "You’re back?"At my words, a broad smile replaced his worn-out expression."That’s right, my love." He responded, getting to his feet. "Didn’t I tell you that not even heaven or hell could keep me from you?"Unable to contain my emotions, I surged forward, slamming my body against his while his arms wrapped tightly around my waist. I buried my face against his chest and breathed in deeply, letting myself get lost in his smell. It really was him."Does this mean you passed all the trials?" I asked, pulling away enough to look at him. "You’re back for good, right?"Before he could respond, a roar ripped through the room, followed by Nazhoni’s curses.Whirling around, I watched Hans race towards us with his teeth bared and his claws extended. Fuck, I

    [Ivan’s POV]"Now," the being announced. "Are you ready for your next trial?""So soon?"I just finished fighting a pretty strong opponent and would be lying if I said that I wasn’t feeling it. Though I managed to tap into a new source of power, I didn’t know how to control it yet and therefore was wiped out."Is that a no?""No."Standing up, I did my best to push away the exhaustion that I was feeling. If I let myself stop now, all the struggle prior to this would be worthless."What is it?"I watched as the being began to use its hands to make circular motions in the air. Where its fingers passed created tiny glowing orbs. Frowning, I tried to determine exactly what was going on here, but came up short."What are you doing?""Creating two paths." The being explained."Paths?"Furrowing my brows, I continued to watch as the glowing spheres that were being created started to grow bigger and bigger until they were the perfect size for someone to pass through."What?"

Blinking away the black spots that were beginning to appear in front of my eyes, I looked at his injury and found that it was beginning to close. However, where the skin healed remained raised and a purplish color, but it was healing and that was all that mattered."You should try to get some rest." Lindsey murmured, placing a hand on my shoulder."Yeah, what she said!" Pixie agreed, popping out from my other side. "You’ve been through a lot.""I’m okay." I assured the duo, forcing a smile. "There might be more of those creatures lurking. We need to stay on alert.""We can handle them." Nazhoni chimed, narrowing her gaze at me. "I agree with them. You need to rest after everything. ""By the way," Pixie murmured, lifting her curious gaze to me. "Why did you give him your blood?"Busted… I forgot that some of those present didn’t know my secret."Pixie," Lindsey
