LOGINIvonne's pov“It’s Lincoln and Alison.” Denise said and My mood dropped instantly.Fucking hell!Of course it was them. Honestly, for one brief moment, I had the very unkind thought that if someone had attacked them at the border, I wouldn’t have minded at all.Then I immediately scolded myself internally.Okay, that was mean. Very mean.Still…I wasn’t thrilled to see them“Well,” I sighed. “Let’s go greet them.”A few moments later, Lincoln and Alison stepped into the palace.Alison was clearly stunned by the grandeur of the place, even though she was trying very hard to hide it. Her eyes kept flicking around the room, taking in the tall ceilings, the decorations, and the elegant design.Lincoln noticed me first and walked forward.“Ivonne,” he said.“Lincoln,” I replied calmly.As I looked at him, memories from our last meeting flashed through my mind. The argument about why he hurt me so much. The accusations of my supposed affair and abortion. The moment I told him I had never
Ivonne's povThe realization that there were only two days left until the festival made it almost impossible for me to sit still that evening.My mind kept racing through lists of things that still needed to be done, people who needed to arrive, decorations that needed to be finalized, and about a hundred other details that suddenly felt very important. Every time I tried to relax, another thought popped into my head.Still, eventually I forced myself to calm down. If I didn’t sleep, I would be useless tomorrow.So I went to bed earlier than usual, even though my brain kept trying to drag me back into planning mode. I lay there staring at the ceiling for a while, thinking about everything Hector and I had been trying to build for the Lycans, hoping that everything would actually work out the way we hoped.Surprisingly, when sleep finally came, it was deep and quiet.No dreams. No silver-eyed woman. No riddles.For the first time in a while, my mind was completely still. Thank the godd
”Ivonne's pov"The problem of Sevrin's brother was definitely a problem but Still, I tried to focus on the current problems at hand and headed toward the venue again to check on the progress.But halfway there, I noticed something unusual.A large crowd had gathered near the courthouse.I frowned slightly. That wasn’t normal.Curious and slightly uneasy, I walked closer to them.“What’s going on?” I asked one of the men standing near the entrance.He glanced at me and immediately straightened.“Oh, Luna— I mean— Miss Ivonne,” he said nervously. “They’re having an emergency court session.”My stomach dropped. A court session without our knowlege?“With who?” I demanded“With Alpha Hector ma'am.”I blinked in surprise.Wait. “That means he’s not at the border?” I said.“No ma'am,” the man said. “He’s being interrogated inside.”And suddenly a wave of concern rushed through me.He was facing the elders alone.I didn’t waste another second before I pushed through the crowd and hurried in
Ivonne's povI stood there for a moment after Severin spoke, feeling like the air in the room had suddenly grown heavier. His words didn’t quite settle in my mind at first, and I just stared at him, trying to process what he had said.His brother. --The one who was supposed to be Alpha, Not Hector was coming here.My chest tightened slowly as the reality of that began to sink in.“You have… a brother who was meant to be Alpha?” I repeated slowly, still trying to wrap my head around it.Severin leaned back slightly against the pillows, his expression tense but calm at the same time, as if he had expected this conversation to come eventually.“Yes,” he said quietly. “His name is Thorin.”The name itself sounded strong, almost heavy with reputation.“Thorin,” I repeated.Severin nodded.“He’s an even greater warrior than I am,” he continued. “The firstborn. The pride of our entire clan. When we were younger, everyone believed he would one day lead the Lycans.”Denise looked between us si
Ivonne's povWe had finally found something. Thanks be to the goddess!Elara leaned over one of the texts.“Here, look at this” she said and I moved closer.It was a short text in a book I had never seen before, but the important thing was that it mentioned Kael’s wife.To be specific, it mentioned her name.“Ivanna,” Elara read aloud. "Kael's wife was named Ivanna."I blinked. "Ivanna."My chest tightened slightly.“That’s… similar to my name, Ivonne” I said.Elara smiled. “Yes, That is quite a coincidence. But the crazy thing is that I have never seen this before, even though my family guards history, We have never been taught about her. Thats crazy.” Elara noted with a puzzled frown.She then showed me another portrait of Ivana.I studied it carefully.It didn’t look like me at all. Not even a little.I felt a strange mix of relief at finding her name but confusion at her appearance.Was this really her? Had I found the right person at all?But I remembered what the woman in my dre
Ivonne's pov"Find the truth Ivonne."I woke up slowly the next morning, the kind of slow wake-up where your mind is still half tangled in dreams.For a few seconds I just stared at the ceiling with a sigh, trying to gather my thoughts, but the memory of last night came rushing back almost immediately.Another confusing dream of Her again.That woman with my face and silver eyes.And the strange conversation that had ended so abruptly.My chest felt a little tight as I replayed it in my mind. The way she smiled. The way she kept contradicting me in that calm, knowing voice. Yes, she was Kael’s wife… but also no she was not.Like.. what the hell, woman?!I still didn’t understand what that meant, and the more I thought about it, the more confused I felt.Before I could sink too deeply into my thoughts, I felt the bed dip slightly beside me.Then a warm pair of lips pressed gently against my cheek.“Morning,” Hector said softly.I turned my head and saw him sitting beside the bed, alrea
