[Ivan's POV]I quickly made my way through the halls of Isaac's castle, earning myself strange looks from the workers.The woman in my arms remained unmoving as I continued to carry her.I knew that she was malnourished from how thin she was, but just how light she was surprised me."Ivan?" Turning, I found Isaac heading towards me with a look of alarm on his face. "What happened?"He eyed Arissa with disgust and curiosity as he asked the question.
[Arissa’s POV] I stared at the woman staring back at me in the mirror. Who the fuck was she and how did she get there? Also, why did she have my face? "Could you please sit down so I can finish brushing your hair?" The sullen woman sighed, bringing me back to attention. "Only if you answer my questions," I hissed. My mind was whirling, and I was trying to figure out if this was real or a dream. Dreams faded so much into reality for me these past two months that I’ve been imprisoned to the point I didn’t quite trust myself.
[Ivan's POV]I did my best to keep my gaze fixed on Arissa's face, but the overly revealed cleavage was making it hard.Her chest was rising and falling seductively with every breath she took, and I wasn't sure if she was aware that the top of her dress was wide open.Even if I only intended on creating an heir with her, I was still a man, and it was difficult to not get aroused. Despite her tiny build and the bones that stuck out from malnutrition, her breasts were huge and perky. If I was being honest, so was her ass, and it was fucking alluring."Why do you keep mention
[Ivan’s POV] I wasn’t sure exactly what to say to her words. She seemed amused at what she was seeing, and it was really pissing me off. "Are you into voyeurism?" I asked, twisting around so she could get a look at Carina’s bare chest and pleasure-filled expression. "Should I make it easier for you to watch?" "W-what?" Carina yelped, tensing up. "Ivan, make her leave!" "Instead of watching, should I join?" Arissa asked, beginning to move forward. "You look like you’re having so much fun."
[Arissa's POV] I woke with a start to find myself in an all-too familiar bed and room. It was my childhood room, and again I was reliving the day that my life went to hell. Standing, I watched the door, waiting for Annemarie, my nanny, to come bursting in to wake me. Just like clockwork, she showed, her face in a fluster. "Arissa," she beamed realizing I was awake. "Today is the day!" I felt my heart tug at her excitement because I already knew what was to come. We would head to the ceremony for coming of age wolves only t
[Arissa’s POV] I watched the boy as he made his way towards me. It seemed that I was going to end up dying here, but then suddenly I heard an odd voice. "Get up," it muttered urgently. "Get up and fight!" Confused, I jumped up just as the boy lunged at me. Moving out of the way, I whirled and jumped on him as he slammed into the ground. Reaching around, I wrapped my arm around his throat and began to squeeze as hard as I could. This would be the first time I ever killed someone, and there would be many more after him. Three years of this: fighting, killing, growing stronger and harder. Then I would be brought back to the pack and find that my father had died and my mother had remarried. Her new husband would mark me as an omega and I would be sent to live in their quarters until I turned 18. I would ultimately stay there until a few nights before the blood moon. After being dosed with wolfsbane in my meal, I would be taken to the breeding house, where I would inadvertently cause my
[Arissa's POV] I made my way across the grounds of Ivan's estate, not bothering to look behind me. If he wanted to follow, he could, but I wasn't going to wait. Just ahead was a line of trees and dark woods. It seemed that one thing he and my father had in common was the need to remain secluded and hidden. In a way, I guess I couldn't blame them given we needed to remain unknown to the humans and hidden from hunters. Not that it helped, given the attack two months prior. Stopping, I let a shiver rush through me as images o
[Ivan’s POV]A burst of roars broke from the hunters as they all began to shoot. However, Arissa was quicker than their arrows, easily dodging, causing them to begin shooting at one another.I had to admit that I was pretty impressed with her. She was handling it on her own like it was nothing. Not even my seasoned fighters were as agile."GET HER!" One of the hunters bellowed as they grew wise to what she was doing.Dropping their weapons, they lunged forward in an attempt to grab her, but she jumped up and landed on one of their backs, causing him to fall. Then she grabbed
