Ivy's POV The first thing I registered was a pounding headache, like there was a little man with a hammer inside my head and was beating it against my skull continuously.  Immediately my hands went to my head and I groaned. Good God, had I somehow gotten drunk last night?  Slowly, I opened my eyes, expecting to see light purple ceiling of my room, but the ceiling above me was painted a beautiful blue.  Then, I looked around, realising that I wasn't in my room. For a brief moment, I panicked. But then one look at the tall, broad shouldered man pacing in the room and the events of the past few days came crashing down on me at once. It was almost insane the way my life had turned upside down in the past few days. But why was I lying down? What had happened?  "Chris?" I called out to him and from one moment to the next, he was ri

 Ivy's POV I watched as Chris turned back into his human form, only he was completely naked.  With a yelp, I turned around before I could see more than his sculpted chest, my cheeks turning red.  Behind me, I could hear him moving. A moment later, I heard the sound of the car door opening and closing followed by the rustling of clothes.  Then, his voice: "You can turn around, now, Ivy. I'm fully clothed." With a soft sigh, I turned around to see him dressed in a plain white shirt and black pants. Did he just casually carry a pair of clothes with him where ever he went? "As a matter of fact, I do," he told me, his lips twitching as he walked towards the entrance. I groaned as I followed behind him, my cheeks heating up. When was I going to learn to keep my thoughts to myself? It was only onc

 Ivy's POV The next four days went by with me learning what being a witch really was. I was a hybrid, yes, but Chris insisted that I begin learning about my witch side while we were still here at the coven of the witches and that he could always help me learn about my lycanthrope side when we were back at his house.  So, I soaked up every single thing Thalia and Gwen told me. Sure, the spells were a little difficult to retain, but with a little practice, I was getting the hang of it. While we had started with a few basic spells, Thalia had taken care to teach me spells which were a little more dangerous, too with a warning that these were only to be used in self defense, and not to harm anyone unnecessarily.  I had, naturally, agreed. I wasn't a megalomaniac to go around hurting people just for the heck of it. And she had told me to be careful with my emotions as well, specially anger. I was new to

 Ivy's POV "What happened? Why did the Alpha have to bring you like this?" Ryan asked me as soon as I stepped into the home with him. "A lot of werewolves attacked us and our car crashed. We fought them off and then Chris brought us here," I explained quickly, rubbing a hand to my forehead. God, I was cold and I had a splitting headache. I hadn't been able to see much of what had been going on outside while Chris fought those werewolves off since I'd been focused on finding a spell to somehow help him out in the grimoire, but from what I could make out from all the sounds was that it had definitely been brutal.  Ryan's eyebrows furrowed. "Werewolves? Why?"  I shrugged, still cradling my head. "How would I know? All I know is that I helped as much as I could and we were able to get away." "You helped?" he asked, brows raised in surprise. 

 Ivy's POV "Ivy? Come, let's find some clothes for you," Mom said as she hooked her arm with my fourteen year old self before dragging me off to a store.  Me being the moody teenager whined in protest. "But mom, you know I hate changing clothes again and again." She chuckled in response. "I promise I'll keep the clothes changing to a bare minimum." I rolled my eyes. It was what she always said whenever we went shopping. I knew from experience it wasn't true but I went with it anyway to appease her. It was the fastest way to get her off my back about this.  Before I knew it, she'd piled on a big chunk of clothes in my arms before guiding me towards the changing rooms in the seemingly empty store. "Remember Ivy, I will only be back once you find him. And you must find him soon," she whispered lowly in my ear before pushing me into the cha
