IVY POV When I got to the pack meeting that morning I had to get on the stage in the park, because there were too many people to hold it in the meeting hall anymore. And I stood in front of the microphone. I had given everyone enough time to get there and I was joined on stage by Zara, Elsie, William, Beau, Freya and Axel. So I was definitely not up there alone, and if I got into trouble then I knew that William would take over. He was the Alpha for 25 years, so he knew exactly how to hand situations like this. Actually, not every situation. Asher and I have dealt with so much more than what he had to deal with as Alpha. We usually joke about how easy he had it as an Alpha. But I knew that he would be able to help me through this. I was counting on him for this meeting. " Everyone, can I please have your attention?" I asked into the microphone and everyone was quiet. " Alright, I know that you've all heard rumours going around about Alpha Asher going missing. I am here to tell yo

'Elias! Is he working with Wyatt?" I asked. 'No. But he's keeping me sedated. He says that they need everyone to think that I'm dead. I don't know why. I don't know why he won't just let me go home.' Asher says. 'Do you know where you are?' I asked. ' No. I was unconscious when I got here. There's something else that you need to know. Wyatt doesn't want you dead. He's in love with you. He always has been but Jackson ordered them to shun you. He thinks that this is his chance to have you as his.' Asher says. 'Okay. I might be able to use that.' I say. 'Wyatt doesn't know that you're pregnant. That might anger him. Don't seek him out.' Asher demanded. 'I won't. But I might be able to use it in different ways.' I say. 'It's obvious that you are the one that needs to stop this.' Asher says. 'I know. Don't worry about us. No one is letting me out of their site. Except for when I lock myself in my room.' I chuckle dryly. 'Don't worry about me baby. I'm alive and I don't be

AXEL POV As soon as I got the green light from Ivy I conveyed the message to my warriors and the vampires were outnumbered. I bought 40 warriors with me. So I got them all to split up and attack different parts of the house. As soon as we were all in position I gave the signal and we hit every door and window of the house all at once crashing through every entrey point. I let out a ferocious growl and all the vampires scrambled to their feet completely unexpecting us to attack. Why would they? They thought they had us fooled. I saw Elias and the girl come running out of a different room with another wolf right behind them. " What the hell is this?" Elias yelled. 'You thought you had me fooled Elias.' My voice echoed through the house for everyone to hear. " Ivy. Where are you?" He asked. 'Technically, still at my packhouse. Axel, I want Elias alive. I don't care about the others.' I commanded. And Axel turned to face Elias who backed up but was blocked in by another wolf th

I was moved to a different room and I was lying on the bed when the doctor got there and he checked me out completely. He checked on the babies and made sure that they weren't in distress and made sure that their heartbeats were still doing really good. He told me that it was a close call but the babies are fine. And Beau told him what happened. " I can sedate him." The doctor says. " No." I snapped. " He's been sedated for the last four weeks. That's the problem. That's why he's like this. He doesn't know what's real and what's a dream. He just needs time." I demanded. " Alright. We won't sedate him. But it's too dangerous for you to be near him." The doctor says. " I am the only one who can calm him down. Everyone knows that. The bond between us is already weak. It's gotta get strong again and the only way that is going to happen is if I'm near him." I say. " He could kill you." Beau says. " Asher will never kill me. It doesn't matter what state he is in. He won't kill

The following morning the sun was shining right through the entrance of the tunnel and onto my face. I lifted my head a little when I felt a heavy arm over me and the events of the previous day came flooding back to me. I needed to be really careful. I needed to make sure that I didn't startle him or anything like that and I tried to move really slowly. I grabbed his arm and I realised that it felt different. So I looked at it and there was no fur on it. It was back to his normal arm. His normal self. So I got up as quickly as I could and I turned to look at him and Asher was lying there awake. He was watching me sleep. " Asher." I say. " Hi baby." He says. Something I was definitely not expecting. But I practically jumped on him and kissed him while I felt the tears running down my cheeks. I couldn't help it. " It's really you? You're really back?" I asked. " I am. How did we end up in the tunnels?" He asked. " It's a really long and complicated story. Let's not worry abo
