Ivy Woods has always felt like an outsider in the normal world, and her entire life was a lie. Her mother and father were killed when she was eight years old. Her grandmother told her that she suffers from hallucinations, but the truth is that Ivy has a wolf inside her that materialized when she was five years old. One day, she meets this stranger in a bar, who almost marked her as his Luna but then rejected her days after. Feeling humiliated, she wanders into the woods, only to have her life change forever. She then meets Alpha Blake of the Silver Moon Pack, who has been waiting twenty years to find his mate, only to discover her at the edge of death. To save her life, he must mark her as his mate immediately. When he learns that she knows nothing of the were-world, he must solve the mystery of why someone would go to such extremes to hide her with the help of his best friend and beta, Rick. But Rick has a secret that may end his decade-long friendship with Blake; he is the stranger who rejected Ivy, and he is her true mate. Alpha Blake also has a darkness in him that is not compatible with Ivy. The more he absorbs her power, the more he cannot contain it. Ivy also finds out the real reason to her parents' deaths, and she wishes she had never met the Silver moon pack.

I downed my second glass of whiskey as I waited for my date at the bar. Today was finally the day that I get to be happy. I was excited to be on this date as I felt this guy was perfect for me.I have been alone for so long,my parents died when I was eight and the only family that I had was my grandmother,who I never get to visit because she lives so far away.I have been suffering from hallucinations as far as I can remember and being on medications.
A few hours passed, and there was no sign of him. Grabbing another glass of whiskey, I drowned my humiliation as I went out back to get some air. There was a field of fireflies behind the bar that was too alluring to resist. I moved towards them, studying their movements. I admired them as I thought of my life been set up differently. I was twenty-two years old and miserable.They danced in the sky, lighting up the flowers in the field. I watched them pair up and go home to their little firefly houses. For what seemed like an eternity, I watched them, jealous. Even watching fireflies reminded me of how undesirable I must be. My date had stood me up, and that didn’t even happen to a single firefly.
What did I expect? I took home a perfect stranger and gave him exactly what he wanted. Being stood up aside, if soul mates were real, I would have sworn he was mine.
I could never be done with you. His words echoed in my head.
A lie that I was happy to be believed.I closed my eyes, trying to rid my memory of those electric blue eyes. Eyes like that you always remember. They bore into your soul and make your toes .I felt drunk even though I only had two drinks, well, three, if you count the glass of wine I had at home before going to the bar- but that was hours before I even went out. That wasn’t enough, was it?
I felt like someone had put something in my drink, but it was impossible because the bartender was my friend and he wouldn’t drug me. No one else was near me at the bar,I ran through the night in my head, trying to remember.
“Are you still waiting on that asshole?” Mark put a drink in front of me and studied me carefully. He seemed jealous. Angry that I had a date at all. There had never been more between us, so it didn’t feel like an appropriate reaction from him.
“’I’m not sure anymore.” I sighed in devastation as I thanked him for the drink.
“Who is he anyway?” Something flashed on his face as if he knew the answer. Something I’m sure I imagined.
“No one, apparently,” I mumbled at him and downed half the liquid.
Mark was handsome and very kind,he had blonde hair and hazel eyes.I had seen him many times without his shirt on for one reason or another, and his abs were very clearly defined, as were his arms and legs. He was lean, like a fighter. And that was because he was one. We took classes together at the local MMA gym. It’s where we met. I pinned him a few times, but he was stronger than me by far. I always wondered if he liked me if I was honest with myself. Often, I caught him staring at me, but he never said anything. I figured he thought I was a mess and funny to watch. I mean, look at my current situation. It was comical that I believed I was in love after one night. Well, maybe not in love, but definitely in lust. Besides, I had known Mark for a year, and he never made a move. If he liked me, he would have done so by now.
I shrugged and downed the rest of the drink. It warmed me down my throat to my stomach. The warmth spread throughout my body as the liquid hit my veins.My thought went on my mystery man’s words when he spoke of whiskey. I agreed with him. It was a fun challenge to drink this fire water. I wished I had asked him for his name and didn’t accepted the apparent alias. Justin. What the fuck type of name even is that for such a gorgeous man?Thinking about him made my body feel hot. At first, the heat was lovely, and then it felt like lava was running through my veins.
“Ivy, are you alright?”Mark looked at me with concern.
“Sure, just have to pee,” I told him, jumping down from my barstool. I am short, so it was a bit of a drop.
“Don’t you always?” He laughed, and I bolted to the bathroom. Out of pure luck, one of the three toilets was free. It was labeled men’s, but it was a single stall, and no one was in line, so I went for it.
I turned the facet to the coldest setting and splashed my face multiple times with water, forgetting about my makeup. Then I ran my arms under the sink, feeling my skin cool off. Taking too many paper towels, I dried off my arms. As I did, I realized my dress was soaked from my effort to decrease my body temperature and tossed the paper towels. It was a useless effort at this point to dry off.I moved to dry my face and did my best not to ruin my makeup completely. I mostly failed, but at least I didn’t look like a drowned rat. After I peed and washed my hands, I felt hot again. It must have been the bar. It was crowded, and the smell was becoming offensive. I snuck out the back door into the woods to clear my head and cool off.
Rick"Okay," Seems fair to take home safely.What the hell was wrong with me? I wanted her badly, but was shoving her away, maybe on the walk home, I can think fully. But why would she trust me to take her? She just met me. Maybe she did like me. She didn't talk during the walk, and neither did I. I was lost in thought.After a short walk that took about forty-five minutes, we arrived at her apartment building. It wasn't in the best shape, but I wasn't the one to judge. My parents left me a lot of money, so I lived a good life. We proceeded to walk up the stairs, which didn't have an elevator. We arrived at her apartment door, and she searched for her keys and opened her door, then she turned to me."Thanks for waking me home, you seemed nice, but I guess you can return to the bar and find someone much prettier.""What?" What the hell was she saying? She was prettier than all of those girls in the bar tonight."I me-" I cut her off by kissing her and pushing her back into her apartmen
RickA few weeks backBeing the alpha beta wasn't an easy job. After countless hours of work, I needed to cool off, and what better place to be than at the bar. Not a wolf bar but a human bar. I didn't have a preference in who I liked. Humans enjoyed drinking and having a good time, and that was what I needed. So there I was, patrolling and looking for a nice human to give me a blowjob to help me relax and forget about the number of bodies that I have buried.Years ago, Fang told me my mate was likely dead, so I might as well enjoy some other she-wolf. That was the same night I lost my virginity to a woman much too old and experienced to be sleeping with me. That I recall her name or face, I don't. I only remember his words and being sick for a week after. And months after that, I cried myself to sleep thinking about it before I went numb to it. These days, he waffles between her being alive, being taken, and being dead.'Our Mate is here, go find her!' Fang said urgently."Are you be
IvyI woke up to find myself heating up with sweat, my pajamas and bed sheets soaked.Was this happening all over again? Am I being poisoned?I rolled out of bed and headed to the bathroom, looking at the mirror, my skin looked flushed, and my pupils dilated. I grabbed some acetaminophen and swallowed two. Filling the bathtub with some cold water, I stripped naked and got in.I was confused about what was going on.I took the medicine, and Kiara was gone, so were Blake and Alex. Was I dreaming, or was it something else, or maybe the medicine hadn't fully kicked in yet?My fever was getting pretty high, was I getting sick? I gave myself an hour for the fever to drop; if not will head to the hospital. My mind wandered on Blake as I poured some water over my body and it went even dirtier on having him inside of me.I brushed it off and got out of the bathtub.I wrapped in a towel and headed to the kitchen.I saw a note that was near the wine. It was from Mark,it read: Hope to see you soon, so
Blake"Ivy." The phone line shut off in my ear, and I quickly threw my phone against the wall, breaking it into pieces.I grabbed the lamp beside my bed and tossed it on the floor. Rick rushed in quickly, his hair messy and wearing only shorts. I woke him from his sleep, and we also shared a wall; his room was not far from mine."What's wrong, man?" he asked cautiously."I lost her."I growled."I need to find her.""Who?" he was confused."My mate?""Your mate?" he looked puzzled."When did you find her?""No time to explain, Rick.I need to find her before it's too late."I snapped, throwing everything around me in anger, and he quickly tackled me to the ground and held a silver knife to my neck."Let's take a moment to calm down, shall we?"He tried to calm me."Try making me understand.""A couple weeks ago, maybe two to three weeks.""That's why you were gone."I nodded."It's not how it looks; the situation is more complicated than it seems. She is oblivious to our world .""Is she a h
IvyI was in so much pain and felt betrayed. How could I think that this was going to last? I guess I was always meant to end up alone somehow. My parents are dead, and my grandmother barely wants to see me. Why would I think of having a partner? I ran as fast as I could, ignoring Rania calling out my name.I stopped in mid-track as one of the guards caught up to me."Madam, you need to come with me,"he said, refusing to look me in the eye."Leave me alone!""I'm afraid I can't do that," he said shakily.I move closer to him and lower my voice."Then take this order instead, "Go the f*ck back to your boss,I don't need your protection."And he listened and left.I felt bad for my behavior; he did nothing to deserve my anger. I could see him walking back to the mall as he battled with himself. I was done with all of this and was going home.It was a struggle finding my way home, but after an hour,I found myself banging on my landlord's door. He was unhappy that I had lost his apartment key
Blake Being an alpha has its perks. As much as I wanted to fix my relationship with Ivy,I had to attend a meeting. Rick could sense my irritation and tried to calm me with his hands on my shoulder. We were disagreeing on our border patrols, and everyone was not making No one questioned on why we needed it but they were unhappy about their titles, placement, role or what time their shift was.I felt sick to my stomach that these were my best warriors arguing about something simple. They were all grown men acting like children. I wanted to smack them, but the rage in me couldn't hold back anymore.I finally had enough,"Silence!".I exclaimed, and everyone went quiet."For the love of our Goddess, act as your ranks, all I'm hearing is nonsense. If you can't figure out how to come together as a team and solve this matter, then you should leave. I have other work to do."I don't think anyone would answer back to me, given the fact that they will be punished for disobeying their king. I admi
