Ivy’s POV

Each pair of students sparred in turn while the rest of us watched and Ezra evaluated their performance. I was nervous about my turn. I didn’t think I was extraordinarily bad, but my partner was the trainer, so I would probably look worse than I truly was.

Finally, it was our turn and we took our positions facing each other.

“Ready?” Ezra asked me.

The rest of the class was watching more attentively than before. I’m sure they were all eager to see what the wolfless half-human was capable of.

“Yeah,” I said, raising my hands up to my face.

Even though Ezra was taller and stronger than me, I wasn’t scared. I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. But I also didn’t think he would go easy on me. Which was fine, because I didn’t want him to think that he had to go easy on me because I didn’t have a wolf.

After all, this was a combat exercise in human form. In a real life situation, I wouldn’t be able to choose my opponent. I had to give it my all.

Ezra threw the first punch, and I stepped bac

    Sean’s POV“Here, like this. Keep your shoulders straight…yeah, like that. And always remember to keep your core stable…that’s very important.”I groaned and scoffed.When I showed up to pick Ivy up after her last class of the day, I hadn’t expected to find her getting a one-on-one training session with my cousin.I had to stop myself from stepping in and stopping them multiple times. That bastard was using all kinds of excuses to be close to her. Like now. He was placing his hands on her waist, pretending to be correcting her posture.If it’d been anyone else, I would have ripped their hands from her a long time ago. But this was Ezra, my cousin who I’d always admired. He wasn’t just some sleazy bastard using excuses to cop a feel…right?The more I looked at the two of them, the more he looked like a sleazy bastard.He needed to back off from my mate by at least ten feet. But I couldn’t just jump between them, could I? Not only was my cousin Ivy’s trainer, but apparently, they were o

    Ivy’s POVEzra was Sean’s cousin. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that coincidence. I mean…I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been a tiny bit disappointed when Sean showed up at the gym earlier.I know that makes me sound shitty but I really wanted to reconnect with Ezra, and I felt like Sean would get in the way of that.Since we left campus and headed to the restaurant, my stomach filled with butterflies every time I looked at Ezra. It was the kind of feeling I got when I was around someone I had a crush on. It could be memories from the past flooding my brain, but it felt like more.I hadn’t felt like that around anyone in a long while. Sure, I was attracted to Sean. But with Sean, it was the mate bond between us that drove my emotions crazy.With Ezra, that wasn’t the case. There was no bond between us, and yet it felt like I couldn’t take my eyes off him. I wanted to talk to him through the ev

    Ivy’s POVSean kissed me hard, his hand at the back of my neck keeping me in place as his lips ravaged mine. His body pressed onto mine, pinning me to the seat.He used his other hand to capture mine on my lap, making it impossible to push him away. It was a punishing kiss that left my lips feeling raw.When he pulled back, I was fighting for my breath. We stared at each other for a few moments, neither of us saying anything as we sucked in much-needed oxygen.Finally, I was able to make words. “Sean…what the hell–”“Stay away from Ezra,” he ordered me.I paused to take a few more breaths and let his words sink in. “What?”“I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but I want you to stay away from him,” he said. “I hate him.”“What?” I repeated, feeling confused. He hated him? I hadn’t sensed any animosity between them,

    Ivy’s POV“What are you doing here?” Sam asked him.“We just had dinner,” he answered.“I saw you on campus today, but I lost sight before I could catch up,” she said. She swept her hair over one shoulder and tilted her head, exposing her slender neck. “You disappeared on me that night.”Her voice was pouty, whiny. It took a lot of restraint to not roll my eyes straight at them.“Sorry about that,” Sean apologised. “I had something urgent to attend to.”“It’s fine,” she said, touching his arm. “But you should make it up to me. I waited for you, you know.”What was she doing? She knew what happened between me and Sean that night. She didn't know that we were mates, but she knew we had spent the night together. And yet, she wasn’t toning down her flirting in front of me.Seriously, what a bitch.“We shoul

Why was she so adamant on him being her trainer?Even if she did not want to rely on me to protect her, I could find her a suitable trainer who could take care of her special needs. But no, she didn’t want that.She was fine going against me for Ezra. Plus, she did not want him to know the real relationship between us. She was fully engrossed in him, not even noticing that I was watching.Meanwhile, I was painfully aware of her. Did I always have to do something to make her pay attention to me? Would she even care if I disappeared suddenly?“Sean!”At the sound of my name, I stopped and turned to find Sam running towards me.

    Ivy's POV"Here she is, the Stinky Omega Ivy." Once again, Demi and her minions blocked my way after school.I kept my head down to avoid looking at their annoying smirks and tried to get around them to reach my locker. Picking a fight with them wouldn't make sense. Demi was not only the charming cheer-leading queen but also the daughter of the Beta. And me? I was just a nobody.I was from a single-parent family. We had moved to the Twilight pack a few months ago due to my mom's job transfer. Besides, my mom was human, but my father was a wolf, so she believed living in such a pack community would help me when I got my wolf. As a human working here as the pack doctor, she faced many challenges. I felt very guilty that I had failed to transition during my coming-of-age and had become a wolfless Omega at the bottom of the wolf pack hierarchy. To avoid causing trouble for my mother, I would endure this. Demi was indeed annoying, but I would graduate and get out of this hellhole soon."He

I'd just asked a strange guy to be my prom date, and he agreed.Was this really happening?He was so nice, and his voice…I fanned my face as it got hotter. It was low, sexy, with a timbre that sent a shiver down my spine. That helpline must get a lot of calls.That voice has to belong to someone equally visually captivating. But why would an attractive man agree to go to prom with a random girl?Taking my phone, I made a video call to my best friend, Zoe. I couldn't wait to share the exciting news. She would think I'm crazy, but at this point, I didn't care. I was just happy to have a date for prom.“Hey, Ivy. What's up?”“You won't believe what just happened,” I told her excitedly.Zoe raised her brows. “Spill.”“So, I've been having a hard time finding a prom date–”“You?” she cut me off incredulously. “Are the boys at that school blind?”“Clearly,” I agreed quickly, eager to get to the point. “But it doesn't matter anymore.

    Ivy’s POVEzra walked into the class with an authoritative air around him. The class went as quiet as a graveyard as he made his way towards the group. When he stopped, his grey gaze swept over the class.“My name is Ezra Walker,” he introduced himself. “I’ll be your trainer for this class throughout the semester. I expect total cooperation and discipline from all of you. I don’t like slackers. If you’re not ready to put in a hundred percent effort, you might as well leave now.”He paused, as if giving any people with second thoughts a chance to walk out. When everybody remained still, he continued, “I also expect everyone to respect everyone in this room. In my class, the only thing that separates you from each other is your performance. I don’t care who you are or which pack you’re from. If you don’t play by my rules, I’ll strike you out immediately. Do I make myself clear?”Scattered replies came from the students.

    Ivy’s POVBefore entering the dorm room the next morning, I stopped outside the door for a few moments. I knew Sam and Eve would definitely have questions about last night. Hopefully, they were not in the room and I could skip–or at least delay–the questioning.Taking a deep breath, I reached for the handle. The door was unlocked. They were inside. I hoped it would just be Becky inside, but as my luck would have it, I found Sam and Eve inside.“She finally returns,” Eve said as soon as I walked through the door.“Ooh,” Sam cooed, “I wonder where she disappeared to?”They looked at each other and wiggled their brows.“Nowhere,” I said, casually taking a seat at the table in the middle of the room. “I met an old friend and got distracted.”Eve hopped onto the table and raised her brow at me. “For the whole night?”I nodded. “Yeah. We had a lot to catch up on.”Eve gave me a smile and then said, “Drop it. We saw you leaving with Sean Harris.”What?“Me?” I asked, feigning confusion.“Don

    Ivy’s POVI had to reject Sean.That was the only clear thought in my mind as I made my escape towards the restroom. I had tried and failed to move on from him. My feelings were too strong, and all it took was a small trigger to bring them back to the surface.Since they’d proven too much for me, rejecting him was the only way to end the connection between us. Once I rejected him, I would sever the bond between us. Maybe then, I could move on.Without the bond, I could be attracted to other guys and stop feeling like my world was ending whenever I saw him with another girl. Only then would I be able to look at him as who he was–my step brother and nothing more.It was the best thing I could do for everyone involved. I would be free from this uncontrollable need and unbearable pain. I would no longer jeopardise my mother’s marriage. Sean and I would finally be able to act like proper step siblings.I wiped away tears that spilled down my cheeks. Realising what I had to do hurt. It hurt
