POV: Ivory Wells
They say Life is perfect when you are young and in love. Would I have ever thought that I would ever lose Darrel? Nah, not in my wildest dreams..
“We have arrived,My love.” He said,parking in front of the hotel that would be used to host my Birthday. I sat still in the car, willing the anxiousness inside of me to be gone. I sighed and alighted from the car. Darrel took my hands and squeezed it reassuringly. I sighed. Here goes nothing.
“Happy Eighteenth Birthday, Ivory Wells!!” I heard screams and Camera flashes and I smiled. My girlfriends, Candy and Tiara walked up to me and handed me a birthday gift. “We love you, Ivory.” They both chorused and I smiled.
“Thanks girls.” I said and we all hugged each other. Darrel held my hands and kissed it, and I smiled. “I’ve got a surprise for you.” He whispered in my ears and I smiled at him.
Darrel and I had been in a relationship since I was 13, and he was Fifteen years old. I had my parents, Darrel, who was the son of the Alpha and two best friends a girl could have.
What could possibly go wrong?
“I can’t wait.” I said and he smiled.
“Go on, and change. The room number is 4105.” He said and handed me the card. I smiled and walked into the room, and changed into a fitted dress, and came back down to enjoy the party.
“Candy, have you seen Darrel?” I asked and she shook her head. I looked around but I didn’t see him, And I decided not to worry.
Two hours had passed since I arrived at the Party with Darrel. I had no idea where he was,even though I searched for him all around.
“He isn’t a kid,Let him have some fun. After all,after tonight,he is gonna be all yours.Might as well take this night to have his last dose of fun before his marriage commitment to you.” Candy,my best friend said when she noticed that I was constantly searching for him.
“Candy,you know that sounds really weird. Its my birthday tonight, and this celebration was held for me. Why would he be anywhere else? Listen,I have to go find him. Take care of my purse for me okay?” I said hurriedly and left her sitting alone at the table. “Excuse me.” “Sorry.” “Coming though.” These were words I kept saying till I made my way through the massive crowd. I walked down the alley way,trying Darrel’s phone. It rang,but he didn’t pick,so I wondered what the problem was. Darrel doesn’t fail to pick my calls,and this thought sent me into panic mode.. Could it be… Where is he? Walking down the hallway,I tried to call his phone number,and I heard his ring tone faintly.I followed the ring tone closely and I heard it come from behind a door. This was the room, where my change of dresses were kept. I peeped in and saw two people on a bench,kissing.My heart began to thump faster and harder,hoping that what I was seeing were delusions and not real. I opened the door and I saw Darrel, holding another girl,in his arms. The fuck is going on here?!
“Darrel.” I said coldly and he turned and stared at me, seemingly looking as Nonchalant like he had done nothing wrong. I took a good look at the girl that seemed like she was holding onto Darrel for dear life.
Wait, is that a Smirk I see on her face? Anger washes all over me and I give Darrel a look. “Explain.” I said simply, my hands folded. Because I had no idea, no iota of understanding as to why Darrel would want to throw away 5 years of our relationship down the drain.
“She’s my fated mate.” He said simply and my heart dropped. “Excuse me?” I asked and he shrugged.
“Not that I asked for it, but the moon goddess send me another Mate. And she is going to be Luna.” He said and I gripped the door handle for support.
“Can we talk, Darrel?” I asked, my voice shaky and he stared at me.
“Look at the time, Ivory. You are yet to transform, your birthday is over. Its past 2am and still no transformation. How can I have a Luna who does not have a wolf? Iwill announce Jenna as my mate and Luna in waiting this night. Let’s break up.” He said.
That nasty feeling in my gut filled me up and I immediately felt nauseous. I ran into the bathroom,and threw up in the Toilet Seat. I washed my face and walked out to the room, but both of them were no where to be seen. I walked to the main party and I watched from upstairs.
“Silence! I have an Announcement to make. This is Jenna and she is my fated mate. We are going to be married soon, and I am announcing her as Luna in waiting.” He said loudly and the hall became quiet with bits of murmur.
“How about Ivory? Darrel, are you nuts?” Candy asked and Darrel shrugged. I screamed in tears and started to run towards the room. Entering the room, I sat on the bed and cried.
“Awww. You look so pitiful when you cry.” I heard and raised my head up and saw Jenna standing in front of me.
“What did you just say?” I asked, anger and disgust filling me up. She smiled and looked at me, with a nonchalant shrug.
“You look pitiful when you cry. I mean,I understand how you feel. It is very sad when someone you love throws you away because of the mate bond thing. Then again, you might not even be a real wolf. And that’s why he chose me over you.” Jenna said and I stood up angrily.
“Shut up.” I growled. “What? I mean, look at the time, Ivory. Its 2:35am. You have not transformed, and that means what? You are worthless. Useless. You are nothing but Darrel’s bed mate. I am his true mate, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Not even your father, who is a commanding General.” She said and I stood up. I could not take anymore of her nonsense talks. I started to walk out and then I saw her throw my things out of the room. She smashed the wrapped up gifts that Darrel had kept for me, but none of those stuff mattered. All I wanted was to leave here. I walked out and got to the staircase, when she pulled my hands..
“Where are you going?” She asked and I looked away, pulling my hands from hers. She walked back and trampled on the things that she had thrown out. That was when I saw her trampling on the necklace that I held dear to me.
“No!” I yelled as anger filled me. I walked up to her, turned her aside and pushed her. Jenna lost her footing and fell down, rolling down the stairs. I grabbed the necklace and followed her down, gasping. She landed on her head, and blood flowed out of it, like a river. I collapsed on the floor, grasping her, trying hard to stop the bleeding. “No, no, no. Please Jenna, wake up. It was a mistake, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.” I murmured, my eyes wide, my hands bloodied and tears falling from my eyes,
“What the fuck have you done, Ivory!” Darrel yelled and grabbed Jenna’s limp body from my hands. Darrel stared at me with bloody eyes and stood up, while the paramedics took Jenna.
“Here me all. I, Darrel Williams, here by Banishes,Ivory Wells, from the Purple moon pack. Get out of my pack and get out of my life!” He yelled angrily.
POV: Darrel William.I never knew that watching TV could bring so much pain and sadness. And so much Anticipation,Longing for someone. I was sitting in my living room after a long day of work when I turned on the news. Just like any other day, I was expecting to hear stories about politics, weather, and maybe even some human-interest pieces. “Here we have seated with us, the brave investigative Journalist,who assisted in bursting the crime ring that the Anthony family has been terrorising New York for 30 years. Let’s welcome, Ivory Wells.” I heard as I sat on the chair in front of the TV. Ivory walked into the arena, her smile bright.A smile that I had missed for years. Seven years. Seven years had passed since I had set eyes physically on Ivory. Not ever since I angrily banished her from the pack, years ago. She was different, very different from the 18 year old Ivory I had known, fallen in love with and chased away.The girl who had once been reserved and quiet was now bold and
POV: Ivory Wells.I woke up on Monday morning feeling refreshed and ready to take on a new week. Last week had been a successful investigation and I was proud of myself for the hard work I had put in. As I got dressed, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I thought about how far I had come in my career.I got into my car and made my way to work, turning on some upbeat music to psyche myself up for the day ahead. As I pulled into the parking lot, I noticed my boss, Mr. Johnson, waiting for me. He looked serious, and I wondered what was going on."Good morning, Ivory," Mr. Johnson said as I approached him."Good morning, Mr. Johnson. Is everything alright?""Yes, everything's fine. I just wanted to give you this." He handed me a pale yellow envelope with no return address.I looked at the envelope suspiciously. "What is it?""It's from Darrel. The same guy that has been sending Numerous Letters, for over a year now." Mr. Johnson said, his expression neutral. And I sighed.
POV: Ivory Wells.“Jeremy. This is Miss Ivory Wells. Ivory, this is Jeremy, Alpha Darrel’s firstborn child.” He said and I staggered back, Anger filling me up.What sort of Mockery was this? How dare Darrel try to rile me up, by sending me his son, when my child had died in my own fucking hands?! My heart pounding with anger and disgust as I was sure that they had done this to provoke me. I could feel my muscles tense up, and my hands balled into fists as I struggled to maintain control over my emotions. Jenna had been a hateful person but this was an all-time low for Darrel.I knew they would go to any lengths to make me miserable, but I never thought they would stoop so low as to bring a child into their twisted games. The little boy in front of me was Jeremy, the son of Darrel and Jenna. He was brought by Darrel's Beta, Hardin, and my blood boiled as I realized this meant they were trying to manipulate me with an innocent child."Take him away," I said to Hardin, struggling to ke
POV: Darrel Williams.I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Ivory had always been a calm and collected person, never one to lash out at anyone, let alone kids. But that's exactly what happened. At least that was what Hardin told me."It's not like her," he said, his voice low and concerned."Ivory has always been great with kids, even the ones she's never known before.""You mean to tell me that Ivory lashed out at a kid? That's not like her at all," I asked."I know, that's why I'm so confused." He replied and I sighed"I know, that's what's so strange about all of this," I replied, feeling frustrated and confused."Wait a minute," I said suddenly, a note of realization creeping into my voice. "What happened before she lashed out?"“Her face drained of colour, the moment I told her that Jeremy was your son.” Hardin said and I sighed in confusion.“There’s something we still haven’t figured out yet. We need to do that, else we won’t be able to understand the reason for her lashing
POV: Darrel Williams.“Find everything about Ivory Wells. Everything that she has been up to, in the past seven years.” I said to Rogers, my second Personal assistant and he nodded with a slight bow and walked out of the room.I paced around the room for Several minutes,my head not getting away from the I sat comfortably on my couch, my phone in my hand as I waited for Jeremy to answer the video call. It didn't take long before little his face popped up on my screen, his eyebrows furrowed in frustration."Hey Son, what's up?" I greeted him, trying to lighten the mood."Hi Dad. Miss Ivory just lashed out at me for no reason. I don't know what I did wrong," Jeremy complained, his voice laced with irritation and confusion.I let out a sigh. Ivory was on edge and I still didn’t understand why, but I sighed., I was going to find it out, what it was that made her hate me. "I'm sorry to hear that, Jer. But it's not your fault. Ivory's just angry with me," I told him."Wait, what do you mean
POV: Ivory Wells.My past seemed to be imposing itself upon me from every conceivable direction. Whenever I had the impression that I had conquered my suffering, something would take place that would immediately bring me back into experience. The advent of Darrel's kid, Jeremy, at this time, caused the old scars that I had believed had healed to become exposed.I couldn't help but think back on the night that everything in my world fell apart as I sat in my living room.Darcy, my sweet girl, died from her sickness that evening It was a miserable development that her disease had kept her from making every moment count and from developing and flourishing like different messes with her age.It was difficult to ignore the recollection since it was still so vivid, like an open wound that would never heal. I could see that she was petite in stature, and her eyes were really beautiful, gazing up at me with a youthful curiosity. After that, she vanished, taken away from me by a tragic turn of
POV: Darrell Williams.The more I discovered about Jeremy's past, the more mysteries emerged, ones that threatened to upend the foundation of everything I believed to be true. I felt more and more furious and frantic as it seemed like the universe was playing a cruel game of cat and mouse with me, holding the truth just out of my grasp.I had always taken great satisfaction in being a man who could steer a ship through the roughest seas with resolute determination and that I had everything under control. However, this predicament, this intricate web of falsehoods and deceit, made me question every choice I had ever made.I felt like a stranger in my own life as I sat in my study surrounded by a ton of files and documents. I was completely taken aback by the realization that Callum Wells, my reliable advisor, might have been involved. How could someone I had regarded as family, someone so close to me, betray me in this manner?"Hardin," I yelled, my voice tinged with a fatigue I had ne
POV: Jeremy Williams.As I dug more into the riddle of my origins, it felt like the universe was changing, like sand passing through my fingers. My view of reality grew further distorted with every discovery, leaving me to cling to a sense of security amid a tornado of doubt.The person in the epicenter of this tempest was Ivory Wells, a woman who had looked at me with contempt and hatred at first. But as the days stretched into weeks, a change started to occur. I saw glimmers of a softer side to her, a fragility that spoke to depths of suffering and grief I could hardly imagine.Ivory revealed a different side to me during those times when her guard was down: a side that was kind, sympathetic, and fiercely protective. Furthermore, I saw that I was pulled to her in a way that I couldn't quite put my finger on as our paths grew more and more entangled."Jeremy," she would remark in a firm yet gentle tone, "I understand that this is difficult for you." But regardless of where the truth
