IRENE

I have been watching my husband ponder over his own thoughts for a long time and it made me so worried.

I had never seen him like this, sitting there thinking as if the world was about to end.

“You’re worrying again,” I said as Lucien pressed his forehead into his palms.

What could be the problem this time?

The candles between us flickered, casting shadows over wrinkled lines that I had never seen on his face.

Worry... that same worry he used to chain to a problem now twisted inside him.

I had never watched him like this. He was silent and broken.

I took a breath and reached for his hand. My voice was calm and soft enough not to startle him.

“I don't know why you keep doing this to yourself. You know that you are allowed to be afraid. Don't you?” I asked and He looked up at me.

His eyes were red and exhausted. The older and tougher Alpha spirit in him had slipped away, and for now, I saw the vulnerable man behind it.

“Afraid of…? What are you talking about?” He asked and I smile

    IVY“What do you want?” I asked immediately the maid appointed to me came in after knocking.“For my regular service ma’am. It's time to clean you up and serve you lunch,” she answered, placing the tray of food on the table beside me.I really didn't like what was happening and I hated the excessive treatment that I was getting here.“Okay then,” I said to her and we barely spoke to each other.The maid began brushing my hair like I was a doll and hated every second of it.I told her it wasn’t necessary, but she just smiled and continued. At home, I made sure none of that happened.My mom respected it. She knew I didn’t want to be treated like I was made of glass.But here? I was powerless. I was just a guest in their territory and I couldn't say no often.So I let them pamper me, all while my mind counted the days until I could go back to my life.After lunch, I went out of my room to check the pack training spot. Elvis already promised me that I would begin next week so I had to

    ELVISAlthough, Ivy was smart enough to pick some words from my conversation with my father.She still doesn't know what was going on. To her, her mind is only playing tricks with her and she will highly doubt herself.Because of that, I became more relaxed even after she said I should return to my call.I decided that the only thing I could do now was to make it up to her since she didn't figure out the conversation I was having."She can't know about this…not now," I whispered into the phone, pacing back and forth near the edge of the academy's training field."Then stop letting her wander around like a rogue soldier. She is not here to be a warrior. She is here to become the future Luna,” my father sternly said.I pinched the bridge of my nose and turned away from the path Ivy had just walked through minutes ago.My heart was pounding hard in my chest, like I was doing something terribly wrong.Maybe I was but I could not just push her dream away."Father, she needs to see the acad

    IVYAnother day rolled by and it came with a tour prepared by Luna Patricia, Elvis' mother.This tour was for Elvis and I so that we could spend more time together. I found it quite thoughtful because I already knew where I wanted to be.The Academy Yard!"You look like someone who just found her heaven," Elvis said, watching me spin with excitement as we stepped into the academy yard.He was not wrong. This was a place that had been on my mind for weeks and I couldn't contain my joy.My eyes were everywhere. The buildings were tall and strong, each one marked with different symbols.I didn't know what each symbol meant but they were beautiful.While I looked around, I didn't even know when I reached out to touch the wall beside me, feeling the rough texture under my palm.This was what I wanted. This was exactly what I wanted! My dream!I didn't want to be in a stupid ball gown that made me look silly. I also didn't want a wedding.I just needed this and it was enough for me."This p

    IvyFinally, we arrived at Blood Sky pack in no time and I was already settling in. This pack gave me a different kind of chills that I never got when I was in my pack."Tell me again why I agreed to this? You should have just remained where you were,” I muttered under my breath as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.I was beginning to miss my family. It then dawned on me that I wasn't ready for this.The room I was given in the Blood Sky Pack was bigger than I expected. It was neat and quiet with silver-blue curtains and velvet cushions I didn’t dare sit on yet.I was still trying to get myself familiar with the surroundings so I preferred to stand.My fingers clenched around my phone as I waited for the call to connect. My heart pounded in my chest.I was very nervous about staying here. I didn’t know what to expect from this new place. I didn’t even know what to expect from myself."Ivy?" my mother’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts after I quickly called her."Hi, mom. I go

    ELVISRight before I left the guest room, I received a call from my father and I smiled. I was expecting his call sooner and it didn't seem to surprise me.I looked around carefully before answering the call because I didn't want anyone to be eavesdropping.“How is our plan going?” My father, Alpha Castro asked and I smiled with my teeth flashing out.Those were the first words my father said when I picked up his call. There were no formal greetings or no pause.It was just straight to it, like always.“Very well, father. I have secured the cat in the bag and I'm returning with her,” I answered and he already knew that I was referring to Ivy."This is incredible to hear. Are you being serious? You finally caught the cat?" He asked again to be sure."Yes, Father," I answered, keeping my voice as calm as possible. "She’s coming with me."There was a brief silence, then his low chuckle followed.“Good work, Elvis. I knew you would not disappoint me. You are doing exceptionally well.”I d

    IVYEverything was happening too fast and I didn't know what to do.Don't get me wrong. I was happy that I was leaving but at the same time leaving my family behind broke my heart.Elvis was already ready to return to his pack and I was going to be accompanying him. It was a rollercoaster of emotions and I knew I could not hide them any longer. "You don’t have to say goodbye like it’s the end. It is not the end. Or is it?” My sister, Lucia said and that was the first thing that came out of her mouth whenShe pulled me into a hug outside the packhouse.Her voice cracked halfway, and even though I wanted to be the strong one, my throat burned with emotion.I blinked fast, not wanting to cry before the journey even began.Two days had passed so fast. It was literally too fast and I could barely breathe.One minute I was convincing myself this was the best decision. The next minute, I was standing here, surrounded by everyone I loved, about to leave everything behind.Now, I know why pe
