Chapter 8“I’m sorry” Bruce whispered as he held Ivy. She pushed him, not wanting to listen to his excuses. To her, she meant nothing to him and his apology might as well be half-assed.She tried to evade his touch but Bruce pulled her back, her back colliding with his naked chest. Ivy breathed, his scent clouding her senses as she felt her inner moist trembling. Bruce sniffed the air and a smile appeared on his face as her wetness wafted into his nose.“You can feel it just as much as I do, so stop fighting it…”“I don’t…” she cut him off defiantly. She refused to let herself be weakened to his touch but the more resolve she puts in, the more it weakened her.“Really?” He scoffed, swiftly turning her around, his eyes sought hers as they darkened. Her nipples stood erect in the simple silk night dress she had on. He bent his head to hers, slowly breathing her in. “Tell me you don’t like it when I touch you,” he whispered, his fingers trailing slowly on her thighs.“Tell me you don’t w
Chapter 9Bruce sighed. He might have said he loved how strong-headed she was but right now, he felt his blood boiling at her obvious rejection of him. Sue had been moaning his name in her sleep, telling him how much she needed him so why was she still pushing him away?“This is unfair,” he said. He decided getting upset whenever she pushed him away wasn’t going to solve a thing. He calmed his wolf but there was only little he could do, sooner or later his wolf was going to want to lay his claim on their mate.“Unfair?” She scoffed. “You call this unfair?” She asked in disbelief. “There has been nothing unfair to you. I should be the one crying wolf”She slid out of the bed and walked towards the window. “Unfair is when you bought me from a pack. Unfair is ignoring me without acknowledging our bond, unfair is bringing me here and just forgetting me. Unfair is…” She didn’t realize Bruce had walked up to her. He held her hand making the rest of her words lost in the back of her mind.“I
Chapter ten"Where is he?" Cassandra fumed, walking blindly through the dimly lit halls she had become so familiar with. This place was her second home but it seemed her place here was being threatened. She couldn't sleep a wink last night, thoughts of the strange woman kept her awake and restless.Why now?Alpha Bruce was already awake and in his study as usual. It was a pretty crucial time for the pack and it would be his busiest, especially with the training of the pups he brought over from the Nile pack."It's too early in the morning to be this loud. What are you doing here?""Really? When have you ever asked me that? You look like you had a good sleep last night. That is so heartless.""You don't have to do this sandy. I can't say I don't understand how you feel, but please try to do what's best for the pack..""What's best for the pack or what's best for you?" She asked, whimpering. " I will never be enough for you will I?""We never loved each other sandy, our relationship was
Chapter 11A million thoughts rummaged through her mind and her brain threatened to explode. She couldn't stay here a day more, not with everything that had happened within her short stay here. Cassandra was venomous and Bruce was a liar. He probably only brought her here to warm his bed. Cassandra was right, She was just his toy. A treat for his wolf.Why were her mates jerks? And why did the moon goddess give her a second mate? That was very a rare occurrence and was usually reserved for the most important of wolves. But she was just a worthless Omega. Why her? And she didn't even need them. She hadn't even had time to heal from Marco's rejection and betrayal."I have to get out of here." Ivy said to herself."Where would you go? Lana, her wolf asked"Lana?" She hadn't heard her wolf's voice since the incident. She needed time to heal from the pain she felt from Marco's rejection. She was all better now."I'm here. You know you can't run away from our new mate now. I won't be able t
Chapter 12"We have news." Beta Rivers said, signaling for the maids to leave. At his cue, they scurried away, careful not to anger their soon to be Alpha. He had quite the temper."Tell me.""They couldn't do it. Alpha Bruce came in just in time to save her."Marco's expression darkened and his claws elongated and ripped the chair he sat on. His eyes burned with rage. "What the fuck do you mean? She wasn't even within Bruce's territory. How could they fail?""There's a reason why Alpha Bruce bought her, and it's quite shocking." Rivers replied.Marco had been obsessed with having ivy killed. She should have died here that day. He couldn't bear the shame if word came out that he was mated to her. The pack's rag doll! He wanted to finish up what he started but the rogues had failed him. He knew ivy quite well. She would not sit still if she didn't like it there. He expected her to run away and had the rogues lay wait for her when she did. But he had failed to silence her, and it was
Chapter 13Amy's face was ashen, the palest she had ever seen. She looked distraught and shaken up. She seemed to have lost some weight in mere hours. Her nails were rough too, she had obviously been biting on them."Relax Amy, she's fine." Maria said, trying to console her."It's all my fault, I should t have left her alone. I had only one task and I messed up.The air suddenly became cold and the maids stood up on their feet, their head bowed. Alpha Bruce had just walked in, ivy following behind him."Who was supposed to have been watching her when she disappeared?" He thundered.Amy squeezed the hem of her dress and her legs buckled in fear. She fell on her knees instantly, tears running down her cheeks."I am very sorry Alpha. It's my fault, I deserve punishment for this.""How could you not have noticed she was gone? For two hours?"The only thing that had saved ivy was the fact that she was mated to an Alpha. Their connection was already getting quite strong and all afternoon, h
Chapter 14The flickering candlelight danced across the table, casting an ethereal glow on the carefully arranged spread. Delicate china glimmered under the soft light, adorned with an array of tantalizing dishes. Aromatic steam rose from the perfectly cooked entrees, filling the air with a mouthwatering fragrance. Ivy stared mouth agape at the wonder before her. She had lived her entire life as an Omega and had never had a good meal like this on a table that looked like it was meant for kings. Marco never gave her that opportunity either.As ivy took her seat, her eyes widened in sheer admiration. Her gaze swept over the table, marveling at the culinary masterpiece before her. The vibrant colors of the dishes, each a work of art, beckoned to her senses. At this point, she felt as though it would be a crime to eat this beautifully displayed buffet. It probably should be kept in a museum instead.Bruce, noticing her awe, couldn't help but smile at her reaction. "Impressive, isn't it?
Chapter 15Ivy paced the room, her hands behind her back. She still hadn't gotten herself to forget the conversation she just had with Bruce. He left with his Beta before she could ask any further questions so she had been left hanging, mulling over what he had said."Luna, may I come in?" Amy's cheerful voice rang from outside.That's right! Why had she been worrying about this when she could have just asked Amy. She brought it up first. Ivy sprung from the bed and opened the door, pulling Amy inside."Okay, I didn't think you'd be so excited about cake..""Forget the cake. Tell me about the crimson moon." Ivy replied, her voice sounding more high pitched that it usually did."Ouch. Sorry cake." Amy said, placing the pastry on the side stool. Her mother ran a bakery, the best in black heart territory. And after bragging about how good her mother's cakes were, ivy had asked her to get one on her way to the pack house."How can you not know about the crimson moon? You've been mated bef
