FAZER LOGINIvy woke up from her sleep gasping from breath, the dream she had felt too real to just be a dream. It was like the flames itself was licking her up. She felt burnt and exhausted and her bones felt like they were about to fall off. The pain was so excruciating and she was sure it was not up to half of Zeke's daily pain. Pain he had carried with him since he was old enough to understand what pain was. The events of last night came upon her and she sighed. She lost her parents also but she had a grandmother who took her through, who showed her the way but Zeke, he had known. Just a desperate uncle who assumed his father's position and didn't care to deeply investigate their death. A selfish uncle who had only used him as an instrument and a tool for his own selfish use. And if from what she was thinking and the evidence available, her parents were involved in Zeke's parents death, she didn't know how he felt when he realized she was his mate. Something clicked immediately, she needed
“Ivy,” Zeke's voice was shaky as he approached her. “Explain this.” She stood up and shoved the letter into his chest. “Why don't you explain this, Zeke? Is this the reason why…” Her voice cracked and she trailed off. “What are you doing here?” Zeke ran his fingers through his hair. “That's not what you're supposed to be saying. That's definitely not it.” She countered. “Just… leave.” He pointed his fingers at the door. “Are you for real? I saw my name there, I saw reasons, I know what you're facing, Zeke. We could work together and…” “You have no idea what I'm facing, Ivy. No idea.” Zeke grunted and fell on the couch. “Then make me.” She muttered. “Make me understand. Or are you just scared?” She pushed.“Scared?” Zeke scoffed. “Being scared would be better than this. I'm saving your life everyday, Ivy. You have no idea how vulnerable you would be once we're mated, you have no idea how many people are waiting for us to mate so they can come out you. You have no idea.” He snapp
As ivy left, it brought a change of tension and vibe in the dining room, everyone adjusted. Even Enid shifted a bit from Zeke. Darius's eyes were cold, lips pressed into a thin line as he tried to engage Zeke in small talks. But the small smile on Zeke's face couldn't be overlooked. He was beaming with pride and joy for reasons even he couldn't pinpoint. Enid's representatives adjusted awkwardly when realization dawned on them that they had been so carried away by the charisma of the girl their princess was supposed to replace. After dinner, Darius stormed off with Enid and her delegates following after him. Zeke watched for a moment before instructing the kitchen staff to do their work and he walked out. But he didn't return to his chambers just yet. He couldn't. So instead, he stood outside the hall, turning over Ivy's words in his head. The command in her voice when she addressed him, it was like daring him to say a word, daring him to reject her in public again. His eyes caugh
The pack is gathered at the main hall for a formal pack dinner, warmly welcoming Enid to our pack as Darius called it. Ivy and Tessa arrived the hall a little late when everyone was already seated. Tessa's plan to draw attention, one that Ivy despised but could do nothing about. When they arrived, they discovered Darius had arranged the seating arrangements. Enid was seated directly beside Zeke, with Darius sitting opposite her. Tessa opened her mouth to say something but ivy hushed her. Tessa's seat was beside Lucas who was seated beside Enid. She walked past her seat to ivy's assigned seat. Close to where junior pack members were seated. “Tessa,” ivy whispered. “I'm seating with you.” She stated. She negotiated with a girl that had an obvious crush on Lucas and took the girl's seat, close to Ivy. “Tessa,” Darius called in his sweet, charming voice. “You're aware that you're disrupting the seating arrangements I put in place?” He asked. “I thought mates were supposed to be toget
It was on a hot Tuesday afternoon when Enid and her delegates arrived. Ivy had known they would be arriving today, the whole pack settings had changed with Darius at the forefront. He spearheaded the new change in the pack, giving a beautiful and girly finish to most of the things in the pack. Ivy winced uncomfortably as she walked past and her mind went to Zeke. How would he feel with these new changes? But she remembered it was his bride coming home so he wouldn't care, her eyes twitched at that. A new lady - more like a bride, arriving the pack when she had been named Zeke's Mate was an insult to her name and she could feel some parts of the pack's inhabitants treating her differently. She forced herself not to care. Zeke had been postponing their night training for two days now and Lucas avoided her, even if he avoided Zeke more. The whole pack was standing at the entrance of the pack house waiting for Enid, under the flaming sun. Ivy's eyes were half closed because of the int
Zeke wakes with a new resolve in his heart. Avoiding Ivy Hale. Continued contact with her had caused more damage than good and only complete avoidance could solve his problem. He wasn't ready yet for her to know about his sickness, he wasn't exactly sure what she would do with the information. Lucas arrived early that morning, the files in his hands. “How have you been holding up?” He asked, falling into the couch. Zeke stayed silent, skimming through the documents. Lucas raised his eyebrows in confusion, before his eyes twinkled and he leaned in. “And how's your training with Ivy?” he asked. That did it, Zeke's eyes whipped towards him immediately, wide and predatory, taking Lucas unaware. “What did you see?” Zeke shot at him. “What do you mean?” Lucas was grinning now, he could feel it in his bones that something had happened and he was about to get to the root of it. “What do you mean by that question?” Zeke asked again. “I don't know, what do you think I mean?” Lucas chuckled
The stench that hit Zeke when he walked him almost made him gag over. “What's this?” He asked baffled. The pack doctor walked over to him, a grave expression on his face. “Alpha” He gave a small bow. “Explain this to me,” Zeke demanded. “It's….” He heaved a sigh “Howling rot” He said, his voic
“Zeke” The door of the office swung open and Lucas stepped in, a bounce on his gait. “What?” Zeke narrowed his eyes. “I have both good news and bad news” Lucas said, the smile on his face faltering. “Good news first” “Ivy is healing the pups! The pups are healing! I don't know how she's doing i
“Luna,” Ivy wiped her head towards the group of pups seated by the corner of the pack clinic. “Kiddies,” She chuckled, retracing her steps back to them. “Luna,” The youngest shrieked and threw herself into Ivy. “Now, what are you up to?” She planted a kiss on her head and sat by them. “Ivy,” Sh
The wolf stood tall in all her glory, white as the moon, streaks of silver light rippling through her fur like she had swallowed the night sky whole.Her eyes were sea-blue. Bright. Commanding. The kind of blue that didn’t beg to be seen. It demanded it.A howl tore from her throat, long and powerf
