Richard’s POV

It started the night before she turned twenty.

I remember the cake. She’d barely touched it. I remember the way her smile didn’t quite reach her eyes. The flickering candles had reflected something ancient in her stare—something that didn’t belong in a girl barely stepping into womanhood. Something that reminded me too much of the past.

Ivy had always been... different. Brighter. But very reserved. I told myself that was just her nature. Maybe it came from the abuse she suffered from her family. Maybe a bit of timidity was healthy.

But the truth clawed its way out that night.

It wasn’t the first time she had a nightmare. But it was the first time I watched her fall apart in it. She came into my room, trembling and silent, like she used to whenever she gets them . She curled up next to me under the covers, and I held her close like always, whispering that I’d fight her nightmares off.

I meant it.

Until I saw them.

Her hands had curled into claws—razor-sharp, half-shifted

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   The Shifter

    Lila’s POVI froze mid-step.The man’s voice had been quiet—so casual it almost didn’t register.“Are you still upset with me, Ivy?”The question didn’t match the setting. Or the moment. Or the fact that we were practically strangers.I turned slowly to face him, my features arranged into the perfect blend of poise and polite curiosity.“Why would I be upset?” I asked smoothly, brow arched. “Is that something I should be?”His lips twitched—just barely. Not a smile. Not yet. But something flickered there, like he’d been expecting that exact answer.“Never mind then,” he said, tone clipped now. “Let’s proceed to the office.”He stepped ahead, and I followed, pulse thudding harder than it should have.Who was he really? Is he someone Ivy knew? Someone she had a crush on? Someone who offended her?He’d introduced himself as Daniel—or someone had—but that name meant nothing to me. Still, there was something off. Not human. Not completely. His scent was almost... camouflaged. As if laced w

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   More Ivy Than Ivy

    Lila’s POVThe weeks that followed my return were nothing short of perfection.I had everything I’ve ever wanted—luxury, freedom, power. A queen cloaked in Ivy’s skin. Days blurred into scenes from a dream: brunch on gilded terraces, designer shopping sprees, and endless attention. Richard had even begun arranging lunch dates, trying to find me a “suitable suitor,” as he called it. “Not the likes of Leo Ashton,” he’d sniffed, as if Leo were some street rat and not the man who he once gave his precious daughter to.Not that Leo mattered anymore.No one did.Not Ivy. Not my parents. Not Alpha Connor. And definitely not Leo Ashton.It was almost laughable how quiet they’d all gone. Not a threatening call or letter. Not a single attempt to expose me or blow my cover. Maybe they were too busy. Or maybe the universe had finally done me a favor and wiped them from my path. Either way, good riddance.I twirled before the full-length mirror, admiring my reflection. My once-pitch black hair wa

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   The King’s Slumber

    The moment Leo launched forward—fangs bared, drenched in death—Shina lifted her hands, eyes glowing white with raw power.“Bring me Raul!” Leo growled as he charged forward in a fit of rage, ready to cut down both Shina and Zane.“Vintra Solas! Bind him!” Shina shouted, her voice echoing across the blood-soaked battlefield like a cannon blast.The air cracked around her as tendrils of silver light exploded from her palms. They snaked through the chaos, moving faster than the eye could track, and in a blinding flash, the tendrils slammed into Leo’s chest.He roared.Not in pain—in fury.He thrashed against the glowing bonds, but they tightened like serpents, wrapping around his arms, chest, and legs. The light singed his skin, hissing as it seared against the darkness pulsing through his veins.Zane stepped forward, hesitant but determined.“You got him?” he asked, breath ragged.Shina's hands trembled from the sheer force of holding him. “Barely. He’s not just fighting me—he’s fightin

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   Lost to the Shadow

    There had been no progress. No new trace of Ivy.Days had turned to weeks, and still, the void where she once was remained maddeningly silent for Leo. And in that silence, Malrik —relentless, merciless—had seized every opportunity to strike. With every moon, he clawed deeper into their borders, dragging war with him like a plague. Even with one arm, a result of Leo severing the other in their last brutal confrontation, Malrik had not faltered. If anything, he had grown more dangerous, unhinged by pain and vengeance.And Leo responded with fury, cutting all rogues across his land without blinking an eyelid.Now, as more storm clouds gathered over the fractured territories, Leo sat in his war chamber, draped in shadows, hunched over aged maps and ancient parchments. His throne, once a symbol of pride, now felt like a cage. Before him lay unmarked lands—forgotten, erased from memory or purged from record. Territories lost in time. And still, Ivy’s scent eluded him.The heavy doors burst

    Meanwhile, inside the palace.Raul’s eyes widened as his sorcerer’s spell faltered. He stared at the empty space where Ivy had stood, and then back at the guard who shot the arrow.“How dare you shoot an arrow at your Luna?! My queen?!” He roared.“I’m sorry…Alpha. I—”But he never got to finish his statement. Raul tore through his throat with his claws and watched with empty eyes as the man struggled to breathe.“She's gone...” Raul whispered in defeat, his voice shaking, as though the very idea of her escaping was too much to bear.His sorcerers cursed, their eyes darting frantically around the room. “She... She’s strong. But she’s wounded.” The tone was unsettling. There was both fear and reverence in the man’s words.“And you, Anto,” he barked, turning to look at the new sorcerer that came in. “I sent for you two nights ago. Why are you just showing up now?”“Your majesty, I wanted to make sure that…”“What now?” Raul demanded, cutting him off, his voice dangerously cold.“We will

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   His, Never Again

    Ivy’s POVRaul stepped in front of me like a shield.Pathetic.“She came to kill you, my Nyxara," he snarled, voice booming off the stone walls. "But I won't let that happen. I won't lose you. Again. You must be mine.”His hand lifted, two fingers snapping sharply.A low rumble answered.From the smoke outside, figures entered — this one robed in red and silver, face obscured by a bone-white mask.Another of his personal sorcerers? Or some kind of demented cult leader?"Seize her," Raul commanded.The new sorcerer, together with the one from earlier, raised their staff. Runes carved in old, forgotten tongues shimmered to life, burning through the air in spirals of light and sound.Chains of searing blue magic shot toward Dina.But she only laughed — a cruel, knowing laugh that made the walls seem to shudder."You fool," Dina hissed, her arms thrown wide as if embracing the chaos. "I only came to help you. But instead, you just dug your own grave!"The chains wrapped around her wrists

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   The Keeper Returns

    IVY'S POVNo. This can’t be happening. The figure drifted forward through the shattered doorway, her form blurred by the black smoke that oozed from her steps, as if the shadows themselves bowed to her. The air grew thick, sour with memory. I knew her. How can I forget?Every night since the forest, she had crept into my dreams—no, my nightmares. The Keeper. The one who had chained me, broken me, left scars on my spirit deeper than any wound to my flesh. The child in me, the Aria I once was, shrieked and recoiled, curling into the farthest corner of my mind, clutching invisible knees to her chest, sobbing without sound. But not Nyxara. No. Nyxara straightened, her lips curling into a feral grin. The Keeper drifted closer, the folds of her dark robe trailing embers along the floor, black flames licking the stone, humming that lullaby. That cursed lullaby. The one that had driven me to madness when I was nothing more than a helpless, trembling girl.Nyxara bared he

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   A Weak King

    IVY'S POV“No!” I thrashed, every limb rebelling as I strained against the chains. “Get your filthy hands off me! You’re all monsters!”The burn of the restraints cut deeper, but I didn’t care. My voice tore through the chamber like a wounded beast. “You think this makes you powerful? You think having your way with a chained woman makes you a king? You’re nothing, Alpha. Nothing but a coward too weak to accept rejection. Your mate despised you. I despise you too!”The Alpha stood in front of me, unshaken. His eyes gleamed—not with rage, but something worse. Hunger. Satisfaction. Humor.He turned to the sorcerer, his voice low, almost casual. “If I spill my seed into her… will it hold?”The sorcerer’s breath caught, then his face lit up as if struck by divine revelation.“Oh… oh, my King,” he murmured, sinking to one knee. “You are brilliant beyond compare. A true leader. Of course! Of course! If she bears your heir, the bond will be forever weakened. No Alpha would dare claim a woman
