The next morning after we got up and dressed we headed downstairs to the dining room and Freya was just leaving for school and Spencer and Cole were nowhere to be seen either. So Asher and I sat in the informal dining room at a table next to the window and I was looking out at the sun shining down and the gardens outside. " Are you alright?" Asher asked. " Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked. " I don't know. You just look a little pissed off." He says. " Why the hell shouldn't I be pissed off?" I asked just as Lucy walked over with a tray and put down our plates of food and two coffees. " Enjoy guys." She says walking away. And I just sat there and stared at the coffee and then looked at Asher. " We have to pretend like we don't know anything." Asher whispered. " I'm not drinking that. Who the hell knows what she's been putting in it." I say. " It's just birth control." He says. " What kind? It could be poison for all I know. It could be rotting my insides for all we kn

LUCY POV I couldn't believe it. I thought my whole plan was going to be derailed until Freya, a f**king child, came in and told them that she hated what was going on and for them to start working it out. I didn't know that them not conceiving would cause so many problems and make them stop having sex altogether. But maybe we might be able to get back on track. I can't deliver Ivy to Levi without her being pregnant. That was a must. I don't know why a baby is so important to Levi. I would have his baby in a second but for some reason he wants this baby. Obviously he cant just take Ivy and force her to have his baby. That's his sister and that is disgusting. When I finally got to my room on the bottom floor of the mansion I mindlinked everyong that the meeting was still on for tomorrow night. And then I grabbed a device that I had hidden under my bed and I rewound it and pressed play. I listened to Asher wake up and grown as he got out of bed and went to the bathroom and he had a

IVY POV Seeing the look on Lucy's face as she came out of that tunnel was something that I would never forget. She was shocked and knew that she was as good as dead now. And then when Asher went over and shook Axel's hand and thanked him for everything he did, it was classic. I couldn't have pictured it any better. They were all taken to the dungeons underneath the packhouse and a lot of those people had children. So the kids were picked up and they were taken to the orphanage. Because their parents weren't coming home any time soon. I needed to make sure that they were safe. That was one of my responsibilities as the Luna. But the older kids weren't happy. Because they shared the same views as their parents. So they went kicking and screaming and we needed to post guards at the orphanage to make sure that they didn't cause any trouble. It was the older ones that were mostly giving Freya a hard time at school because they thought she was betraying Jackson by being here. When we

ASHER POV I had no idea that Ivy was feeling that way. I can sense her emotions and feelings but the feelings that I have been picking up from her aren't the ones that I would expect to get from her. After she told me about the dream, about our baby boy, it all made sense. She didn't care about hurting these people because of what they were going to do. They were going to really hurt her family. And anyone who knows Ivy, knows that's a big mistake. Family is the one thing that she will definitely kill for. I took Ivy by the hand and we headed back inside and we went upstairs to our room. As soon as I closed the door behind us I saw Ivy start to get undressed and I was standing behind her within seconds and I grabbed her hands that were clutching at the hem of her shirt. She looked at me over her shoulder and I leaned down and kissed her. Capturing her lips with mine and she and I finished taking her shirt off for her. She then turned while still kissing me and I started walking

IVY POV Cole picked Spencer up and carried her back to the packhouse and Asher went with him while I walked upstairs to the bedroom. I sat on the bed staring out the window for a while when Asher finally came in. " Are you alright?" He asked sitting on the bed right next to me. " Yeah. I'm good. It's not my mate that just betrayed me." I say. " No. But she was your best friend and bridesmaid at your wedding." Asher reminded me. " Well, there's nothing that we can do about that now. She was my friend and now it looks like she isn't. I'm used to it." I say. " I'm really sorry baby. I know that you don't have any girls to be friends with." He says. " It's alright. How's Cole holding up?" I asked. " Well, he just rejected her. And she accepted the rejection. That's all done. And he's not handling it very well." He says. " I bet he isn't." I say. " They said that they were going after Carter's pack. Have you heard from him?" Asher asked. " Not yet. He'll call when they
