“Marco?" she called, her voice barely above a whisper. Marco remained silent, he only arched his brow, his expression unreadable. Slowly, everything began to sink in. "Why?" Her voice trembled as she finally broke the silence that had settled between them. "Why didn't you speak up when you knew the truth, Marco? You could have saved me." Marco scoffed. "What did you expect me to do?" "DEFEND ME? PROTECT ME!" She yelled. "That's what you do for someone you love." Marco’s jaw tightened, and he leaned against the cold, steel bars of the cell. His icy blue eyes bore into hers, but there was no warmth, no love, only a distant glimmer of irritation. "Ivy," he began, his voice low and filled with everything but love, "I can't tell if you're just naive or plain daft." "You know I couldn't back you up in front of everyone. I couldn't risk them finding out that I'm mated to an Omega." ~~~~~ Ivy thought she had hit rock when she was falsely accused, added to her mate’s betrayal and then auctioned according to tradition for all female criminals. But when a handsome and mysterious Alpha walked in at the dying moment, wanting her for himself, she must decide whether to leave with him as his personal slave or remain in the pack to go through the last phase of her punishment; which could end up being her last day on earth.

Ivy and Marco were entwined, lost in the depths of their passion. Their bodies moved with a synchronized rhythm, their connection intense and electrifying. As they caught their breath, while laying breathlessly on the bed, Ivy gazed into Marco's eyes with anticipation.
"Is there something troubling you, my love?" Marco questioned, running his fingers through her hair. Ivy shut her eyes, allowing the pleasure to flow through her and she sighed before opening them.
She chewed on her bottom lip, unsure of how to bring up what was bothering her.
"Hey," Marco called softly, placing his palm on her right cheek and rubbing it lightly. "You can talk to me. What is it?"
"When will you tell the pack that I am your mate?" she asked, her voice tinged with vulnerability.
“I—” Marco caressed her cheek, the touch emanating warmth and affection, breaking her resolve.
He sighed, then turned to face her. "Soon, my love," he assured her, his voice resonating with sincerity. "I want to ensure the right time and circumstance to reveal our bond. I will protect you, always."
Ivy smiled, her heart fluttering with the promise of a future together. She trusted him, placing her faith in their connection. However, fate had different plans, for loyalty often veils itself in deceit, and trust can be shattered in an instant.
As they basked in the afterglow of their love, Marco's gaze lingered upon Ivy's body. An intimate moment tinged with adoration and curiosity unfurled, as his eyes traced the contours of her form. A playful smile danced on his lips, provoking a blush upon her cheeks.
"Come on Marco, we just…”
"I can't seem to get enough of you and you know that!"
"Just One more."
Ivy couldn't help but laugh at his childish antics. Marco's eyes twinkled mischievously, filled with a playful glimmer as he leaned in, his lips meeting hers in a sweet, tender kiss. Time seemed to stand still as their connection deepened with each passing second, enclosing them in a world where only their love existed.
Marco drew closer and kissed her. They moved closer to each other, savoring the softness and tenderness of their kiss. Their connection deepened with each passing second, consuming them completely. As their bodies drew nearer, he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close, while their tongues entwined in a dance of affection.
Their passionate exchange seemed to release a flood of emotions they had been harboring for so long. Marco tenderly caressed Ivy's nipple with his lips, teasing it gently and igniting a pleasurable response from her. Ivy couldn't hold back her moans of delight, her eyes shut tight as she surrendered to the sensation. With her hands, she eagerly explored his exposed physique, tracing the contours of his sun-kissed, well-toned back. His body exuded an athletic grace, accentuated by a light dusting of hair. Guiding her hands further, he allowed her to gently stimulate him as he grew in her grasp.
With a shared desire, she guided him between her legs, parting them slowly, and her resulting moan revealed her anticipation. As he slid inside her, their connection intensified, filling them both with intense pleasure.
Marco adjusted his movements, seeking the perfect angle to bring Ivy even more satisfaction. She welcomed him eagerly, opening her legs wider and bending her knees to grant him deeper access.
Time seemed to stand still as they merged their bodies and souls. Every stroke, every inch, he relished the sensation of her velvety walls enveloping him, a testament to their passionate union.
In this moment of intimate connection, Marco felt a profound love for Ivy—an unbreakable bond with the woman who had captured his heart.
As he moved within her, he gazed into her eyes, seeing the depth of their love reflected at him.
* * * *
The next morning, Ivy woke up alone in the lavish room and somehow Marco's absence stirred a sense of sadness within her. She knew he had duties and she knew Marco wouldn't be able to spend all his time with her especially since he had yet to make it known that they were mates but until then, she was going to bask in the joy she could get from her limited time with him.
Before she could comprehend the situation, the door creaked open, and a group of guards stormed in, their menacing expressions etched on their faces.
Confusion clouded her mind as the chilling gaze of accusation landed on her. Luckily she had put on something before she'd slept.
"I.. I… Is there... What's going on?" Ivy stuttered.
"You can stop with the pretense, thief!” one of the guards yelled, his eyes blazing with anger and hatred as he glared at her.
"Pretense? Thief? I don't understand. What is happening? What's going on?" Ivy's brow was furrowed in confusion. Her heart began to hammer in her chest wondering if she had gotten into any trouble.
As the omega of the pack, and the pack slave, it was her duty to make sure every duty in the pack house was carried out and she made sure of that before she made her way to Marco.
“You will know when you get to the Alpha” the second guard replied with no sense of gentility as he grabbed her hair tugging her half-naked body from the bed.
“Look at her, what a slut!” the other snickered as his eyes began to roam on her body.
Ivy was tugged out of the room and while she tried to resist reaching for the sheet to cover her body, the guard yanked her and began to kick her on her abdomen making Ivy cry out in pain.
She was blinded by tears as they kept on kicking and punching while they dragged her through the hallway. At last, they arrived at the throne hall where the Alpha and the rest of his family members were awaiting.
“How dare you, Omega?!” The Alpha roared and walked up to her. “How dare you steal from me?”
Anika gasped, shock written all over her face. “I knew she wasn't contented with what she had but I never knew that she could steal the blue jade”
Ivy stood frozen, disbelief mingling with fear as she was accused of stealing the king's precious diamond, a jewel of immeasurable value. Panic rippled through her veins, and she urgently sought Marco, hoping for his presence to vouch for her innocence.
Her eyes searched the room, finally landing upon him. But to her dismay, he averted his gaze, avoiding her pleading eyes. "Ma-" She tried to call out but was cut off by the Alpha guard.
“Shut up! You dare to speak when the Alpha is still speaking!”
“I- I didn't do this. I swear I can prove it” she cried out, desperation in her voice. Her eyes sought out Marco begging for his confirmation of her innocence. "Please." She whispered, hoping he would come to her aid.
Marco's silence wounded her deeply. She turned to the Alpha hoping to convince him. "It isn't true. I swear. I was nowhere near here”
Her pleas fell on deaf ears as the Alpha ordered the guards. “Take her to the cell and make sure she's dealt with”
Realizing the gravity of the situation, she was overcome with a sense of helplessness as she was dragged away. Ivy cried hoping that somehow Marco could prove her innocence. That he would stand up for her.
EPILOGUEIvy opened her eyes and shut it again, her eyes flinching from the intense sunlight. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands and opened them. Sitting up, she removed the blankets from her body and wore her slipper."It's today!" She said excitedly and hurried downstairs. The entire pack house was in a frenzy. The house was full already even though the party hadn't started. How could this number be involved in the decorations?Today was both her Luna ceremony and Amy's naming ceremony. She had been in a coma for months after her encounter with Anika. When she woke up, Athena made sure to explain everything that happened. During the fight, Ivy had let Amary take over her body and used her powers to drain Anika's powers till she had nothing left. It was a risk she had had to take even though she knew that much power could kill her. She slipped into a coma after.Ivy felt a hand wrap around her waist and she turned to see Bruce standing behind her, a smile on his face. "Y
Chapter 76Bruce rushed at Marco and lifted him up by his collar, suspending him mid air. His eyes burned with anger, his gaze murderous."Are you alright?" Bruce asked Ivy, not taking his eyes from Marco.Ivy breathed deeply, relief washing over her. He was back. Whatever spell or mind game Anika was playing, it was nothing compared to their bond and their love. "I'm fine." She replied.Cassandra rushed in just then, her eyes widening in alarm. Bruce had suddenly flared up and broke everything on the table, rushing out of the dining in rage. She had no idea what had happened and followed him only to end up in the maid's quarters."Marco!" Evelyn yelled. She had followed them here too when she noticed her mate had disappeared. Anger was visible on her face. "What the hell are you doing here Marco? You left me out there to come be with this woman?" She yelled, looking him over. Her eyes rested on his open zipper and it dawned on her just what he was after."You shameless piece of shit!
Chapter 75"Are you sure this is alright?" Evelyn asked, a little nervous. She was scared of Bruce ever since the day he almost choked her for attempting to hurt Ivy. If Marco hadn't come for her, he would definitely have killed her. Both their packs weren't on good terms. They weren't at war, but they weren't allies either."Don't worry, Anika has them trapped in her own world and they only remember whatever she's put in their minds. It's Anika we should be weary of, her powers are incredible. Sometimes I ask myself if we're even in our right minds or if she's using us too.""She's not. If you suspect it and question it, then you're in your right mind." Evelyn replied.The stopped talking and plastered a smile on their faces when Cassandra walked towards them, her hands intertwined in Bruce's. She smiled radiantly and bowed in greeting, grinning from ear to ear. They read her expression. She was excited, having gotten everything she ever wanted. Bruce was hers now and Ivy had been re
Chapter 74Heels clicked in the distance and a faint taps echoed on the floor and through the hall as the footsteps approached. A light, happy him trailed the footsteps and Bruce immediately knew who it was. Cassandra had been in a chatty mood all day."Did you like the dinner that much? Or is it the wedding that's making you all giddy?" He teased as she opened the door and walked in."Both." She replied, planting a soft kiss in his cheek. "Why are you always cooked up in your study?" She asked, a playful frown on her face."I've just got a lot to settle so I won't have to much to do on our honeymoon." He said, causing her to smile brightly."You're a smart man." She replied, strangling him. "But still, can I steal you for thirty minutes? There's something I really need to show you." She said, a sexy smile on her face."You got me baby." Bruce replied, pushing the paperwork to a corner of the table. Cassandra kissed him hungrily in his lips and ran her fingers throubj his hair. Bruce
Chapter 73The floor was cold and damp and the halls echoed her screams to be let out of the prison. The warriors guarding the prison gate made sure to ignore everything she said as though she wasn't even there.Ivy sat down on the floor, exhausted from her futile protests. She buried her face in her hands and her shoulders shook with the wave of anguish that hit her. Bruce's eyes had held anger and no trace of the love it once held for her reflected in his gaze. 'It wasn't his fault,'' he was under a spell" she told herself repeatedly but it hurt her still. How could he not recognize his own mate?"Ivy?" Lana called, her eyes the colour of burning amber."Lana! Thank goodness you're here, I'm so frustrated right now. What are we going to do?""It seems Anika has them all fooled. They're lost inside this world Anika has created and they have no idea. We need to find a way to get them out of that world. It's the only way to bring them back or they'll be lost in there forever.""How do
Chapter 72Fighting them wasn't an option, it would only make Bruce more angry and he wouldn't listen to her explanations. It wasn't their fault anyway. No one had thought Anika would attack them this way. It was supposed to be her. Now, they were trapped. How would she get out of this and find a way to help them?She looked at Bruce's dark expression and saw disgust in his eyes. How could he look at her that way? His eyes had only held love and devotion for her.It wasn't his fault, but she couldn't help but feel bad about it. She was his mate no matter what. How could he not recognize her? "Take her and lock her away in the dungeon. She'll pay for attacking her Luna and threatening her!" Bruce ordered.The warriors bowed and began to pull her away. She thought of what to do in that instance. She could fight them off if she wanted to and could easily escape but if she did, they would realize that she wasn't just a regular wolf. She would have to use her wit h powers too. It worried
