A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance Ivonne's time
Ivonne’s POVI pressed the phone tighter against my ear, bracing myself. “Mr. Archibald... Grandpa sorry,” I said carefully. “I… I didn’t expect your call.”His voice on the other end was smooth but laced with a cold distance, like every word had been weighed before it left his lips. “No. I imagine you didn’t.”Silence stretched, heavy, until he spoke again. “Your mother. She’s gone.”I froze in the middle of the hallway. My grip on the phone trembled. “H-how do you know…?”“I make it my business to know most of what happens under this family’s roof—and beyond it,” he said flatly. “News travels quickly to me, Ivonne. Especially when it concerns my grandson’s wife.”The bluntness of it all knocked the breath from my chest. “Then… then you know she—”“Yes.” His tone softened, barely. “And I’m… sorry. I mean that. A mother’s death is never easy, no matter the circumstances.”For a moment, I didn’t know what to say. I expected cruelty, judgment, maybe even satisfaction. But pity? An apolo
A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance Ivonne's reasoning
Ivonne's POV I took a deep breath to calm myself because there was a sharp, ugly twist under my ribs that made my heart hurt as I told my story. “After my miscarriage and the sudden appearance of Alison, everything turned. Lincoln was colder. He picked unnecessary fights at dinner and then started giving expensive gifts to Alison right in front of me. They started constantly laughing at me too. They would mock, demean and laugh at me, especially when I asked for help with Mom’s bills. Just yesterday, Alison tore up the first cheque I got right in front of me and Lincoln refused to sign another. They left us waiting until it was too late.” Dr. Charles’s hand hovered above the desk as if he wanted to reach for mine and thought better of it. “This… none of this sounds fair but I still think because your mother loved you so fiercely, She would not have wanted you to be consumed by hate.” “Well She’s gone now!,” I snapped, and the word didn’t have the softness I thought it wo
A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance Her story
Ivonne's POVI signed the final forms with hands that wouldn’t stop shaking. The paperwork for my mother's cremation felt surreal. It felt like some official cold goodbye stamped to the worst day of my life. Doctor Charles suggested that I wait a few days for a proper funeral but I knew that no one would attend her service so I insisted they move it up immediately. I wanted her gone from the hospital, reduced to something I could carry in my arms, something I could keep close and speak to when the world felt too loud. Ashes didn’t need hospital bills or permission slips. Ashes wouldn’t be humiliated by Lincoln or laughed at by Alison. Her ashes were the only thing that would be mine to care for and love.Dr. Charles walked beside me as they prepared the body. He was gentle, quiet, the type of person who had been around sickness so long he knew how to carry other people’s grief without crushing it. When there was nothing left to do in the chapel, he asked if I would come to his of
A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance Ivonne's pain
Ivonne’s POV I clutched the cheque in my hands so tightly that the edges were crumpling. I had finally got the money! I could finally save my mom! I almost couldn't believe it.My heart pounded with hope and desperation all at once. Alison’s handwriting was scrawled across the paper, but I didn’t care. I didn’t care that it came from her, or that her smug little smile when she handed it to me made me want to claw her face off.I also didn't care that she was probably going to try her best to make me pay with my life for this. All that mattered was this cheque, this little piece of paper was my mother’s chance to live. “Thank you, Goddess… thank you…” I whispered under my breath as I ran down the hospital corridors. My heels clacked loudly against the floor, echoing like a heartbeat. “Please let me be on time. Please let her live. Please don’t take her from me yet.” By the time I reached the reception, I was panting, clutching my side. “I—I have it!” I yelled, almost shoving t
A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance Alison's cheque
Ivonne’s POV I rushed to take a shower and threw on the first dress I could find, not even bothering to fix my damp hair. My hands shook as I buttoned it crookedly, but I didn’t care. My chest felt tight with too much panic. Every second wasted was another second my mother was lying in that hospital bed, maybe slipping further away. I rushed down the hall, my steps uneven, my pulse drumming in my ears. All I could think about was the cheque. If I could just get another cheque from Lincoln, then I could run straight to the hospital. That was all that mattered. But when I reached the living room, my body froze. Lincoln was there. He was already awake and already dressed, sitting casually on the sofa with Alison curled up against his side like she belonged there. His arm was draped around her shoulders, his fingers idly brushing through her hair while she giggled at something on his phone screen. The sight made me sick. For a moment, I almost turned back. Almost swallowed t
A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance The alpha of Lycans
Ivonne’s POVA scream ripped out of me before I could stop it.It wasn’t one of those soft startled gasps. No, this was a full-on, top-of-my-lungs, horror-movie type scream that could’ve shattered glass. Because the man in my bed, the very naked man lying so casually beside me, wasn’t my husband Lincoln.It was him again.The rude alpha.The one who dragged me out of the pool.The one I never wanted to see again.The one I definitely never wanted in my bed.“What the hell are you doing here?!” I shrieked, scrambling back until I nearly fell off the edge of the mattress.He stirred with a low groan, rubbing his temples like I was nothing but an annoying alarm clock. His voice was gravelly, sleep-rough, but still dripping with irritation.“Do you have to be so damn loud first thing in the morning?”I gaped at him, my whole body trembling. “Loud? You—you’re in my bed! Naked! Why are you in my bed?!”Finally, he opened his eyes, sharp and stormy, narrowing at me with a look that made my s
