Isaiah P.O.V. I have been working on my computer for things at the firm and the pack for the rest of the afternoon. Ivy has been with my sister and Lillith, which I think is awesome. I am so happy they are bonding and making friends with each other, so I have only checked in occasionally to make sure everything was okay. I even contacted the kitchen to have them bring the girls snacks and drinks, which made Ivy thank me over mindlink. That girl is seriously adorable, and I can’t wait til she is ready to be mated and marked. I have been thinking of when and where I can propose to her. I know it sounds insane since I have known her for so little time, but when a werewolf meets his or her mate it is usually game over. There are rare cases where a mate is rejected, like the instant with my mother and her first mate. He was a cheating, bullying bastard, and she rejected him on sight and fled her pack because they were mistreating her. She then met my dad, who did not make the greatest fir
Ivy P.O.V.After my talk with the girls, I was so ready to complete the mating process with Isaiah. They made it seem so intimate and wholesome, with a hint of possessive and carnal energies. Everything inside me wanted him in that moment, but when time actually came to it. I backed out faster than you can say mated and marked. I don’t know what it was, but sitting with them all at dinner, Isaiah being all sweet and romantic had me doubting everything I was feeling. Doubting myself completely. Who was I to have the King of werewolves mark and mate me? I am just a nobody. An abomination. A slave in the eyes of my own family. I have never known love, not since my mother died, and everything I knew was abuse and degrading. Tears flow freely down my cheeks as I enter our room. I supposed I should have gone somewhere else, but this was the only safe space that came to mind as I ran from the kitchen. Isaiah doesn’t even follow me, which only fuels the negative spiral I have entered. Rav
Isaiah P.O.V.I position myself at Ivy’s wet entrance. She is so amazing! She has taken such huge steps towards recovery in her short time here. I am in constant awe of her and the way she is coming out of her shell. When I got her naked on our bed, I kept thanking the Moon Goddess! Ivy is by far the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen, and she is mine. When I ate her delicious pussy, I almost came myself! She tastes just as heavenly and she smells, and as she came on my face I was sure I was going to die of happiness. By her expression and questions I gathered this is her first real orgasm. I’m proud of myself. I’m not going to tell her that obviously, but I love how I get to do all her firsts with her. I know Kind Edor did things to her, but I don’t think he ever went all the way. He was probably just waiting. The thought makes me murderous, and I show it to the back of my mind. “This is going to hurt at first, baby, but keep your eyes on me and breathe through it. I promise it wi
Ivy P.O.V. Isaiah made good on his promise. The sun was coming up over the horizon before he let me rest. I was sore all over my body, but the kind of sore that made a girl deliriously happy. We made love on the bed, against the walls, in the shower, on the couch. I don’t think we have a surface in our bedroom or bathroom that has been used for sex. One should think I was in heat, but I would know if I was. Raven has been rolling around in my mind, her tongue out and making all kinds of happy sounds. We even let her and Apollo out a few times. I had finally fallen asleep, but not for long, or so it felt, when I heard the most beautiful voice in the world. “Baby? You need to wake up now. Come on, little faerie.” I roll over, giving my mate a dirty look. “No more sex.” I say with an attitude. Isaiah chuckles. “No, baby. I made you a hot bath.” He says, kissing my forehead. I don't even know if I can stand on my legs at this time? I grumble, but Isaiah just lifts me into his arms an
King Edor P.O.V. The call I have been waiting on since I pressed the Council into not accepting Ivy as their future Queen is finally here. I was hoping for some good news, but alas they have failed me as well. Everyone fails me these days, and I am not used to that! I knew it would be difficult for them, but I also know the wolves abide their Council’s ruling the majority of the time, but of course the fucking King had to make an exception of Ivy. My blood is already boiling when my contact speaks again, and this time I just explode. “What the hell do you mean it didn’t work? Aren’t you the fucking Council? Didn’t you tell him that I will go to war if she is not handed back to me ASAP! What did you actually do to get her back to her home?” I scream into the phone. The man on the other end sighs. “King Edor, it is not that easy or simple. She is mated to the werewolf King, and he is not going to hand her over. Rumor even has it he has mated and marked the girl now, and then it’s goi
Isaiah P.O.V.Yesterday went by in a blur. After we ate lunch with the ranked members, and then went to my office and called Head Councilman Ellesar. He was delighted to say yes to our invitation, and they will arrive in a fortnight, and this way I would be able to meet the newest members of our Council as well. He had to replace a lot when mom and dad were crowned Queen and King because of dissatisfaction with them and treason, and now he had to replace them again because of old age and a death.Then I took Ivy with me around the pack. The more they see and interact with her, the more they will accept her when she is crowned. I plan to have her coronation as Queen in a month along with her Luna ceremony, but she doesn’t know that. I have also thought about proposing to her that night as well. Pack members seem to love her, and I can see why. Ivy is an easy going sweetheart, but she is no pushover, and she will show you her tougher side if it ever becomes necessary. At dinner we talk
Ivy P.O.V.I am looking forward to this trip with the girls, but I can feel Isabella being on alert and by default our guards are also on alert. I don't quite understand what is going on, but somehow I feel like we should have maybe stayed home today?“Isabella is everything alright?” I ask her in the car, and she sighs. She looks at everyone before her eyes cloud over for a second. When they clear she takes a deep breath.“Ivy, do you remember our talk in the living room the other day?” She asks and I nod. How could I forget? That was awkward and exciting at the same time. I unfortunately remembered some horrible things about my time in the fae Kingdom, but I also gave vital information to my mate and his parents. I felt proud and terrified at the same time. “How could I forget?” I ask her, and she gives me a tight smile. In our car we have Jonah driving, and Finley in the passenger seat. Isabella and I are on the first backseat row, with Ashlee, Lauren and Milan behind us. The next
Isaiah P.O.V.“Start talking nephew.” Uncle Dale says with gritted teeth. He is clearly angry at my decision to let the women go out shopping, when I knew the enemy was not dead. But he needs to understand the reason behind it. Dad is still on alert, if he needs to grab his brother because of his temper. Uncle Dale is a hothead, but he is not stupid. Ranked or not, I am still his Alpha and his King. “We need them to think we are still in the dark. They either have no idea Ivy is mated to me yet, and then think we still don’t know they are out there. Or they know she is my mate, but think she is too broken because of the fucker to King Edor to say anything. The third option, which is most likely, is that they know she is mated to me, but think she doesn’t know who they are, and don’t care if she tells us because they are too confident in themselves. Possibly they hope we have forgotten about them. Either way; we need to do whatever we used to do. Going shopping is something our women
