Chapter 11

Ivy's POVSleep wasn't coming in this room, in this house, and not with the smell of Noah's pack mansion crawling into my lungs every time I tried to breathe.He had told the guards I wasn't allowed to leave. Not as ala guest but as a hostage. That was what I was now — held in a guest room in the house I used to run, staring at a ceiling I used to redecorate, listening to the distant sound of Amy's laughter floating down the hallway like she owned every wall.The knock came soft and I sat up fast.Amy opened the door without waiting for an answer. She was still dressed, white silk robe, hair perfectly down, and she walked in like she had been invited and set herself on the edge of the chair by the window with the ease of someone who had nowhere better to be."I convinced Noah to call a doctor," she said gently. "To verify if it was a miscarriage or — something else. He needs to know the truth, Ivy. You're still his Luna. Y

Chapter 12

Ivy's POVI had barely slept an hour when the door flew open.Amy stood in the doorway in a pale yellow dress that probably cost more than my monthly rent, her hair done, her lips glossed, looking like she had an appointment she was very much looking forward to. "The doctor is here," she said, her eyes sweeping over me with that particular brand of satisfaction she reserved for moments she felt she was winning. "Get up and get dressed. Try to look less pathetic if you can manage it."I stared at her for a solid three seconds, then rolled over and pulled the blanket over my head."Ivy—""I heard you," I said flatly into the pillow.She made a sharp sound of irritation and I heard her heels click out of the room and the door snap shut behind her. I lay still for another moment just to spite her, then sat up and pushed my hair out of my face. My body felt heavy and my eyes were swollen from a night of crying I had refused to fully commit to, and the morning light coming through the curtai

Chapter 13

Ivy's POV I lay on top of the covers fully dressed and I closed my eyes and blocked all of the pack gossip and hallway whispers that pointed and followed me everywhere I walked in this mansion since yesterday. I was not going to give any of them the satisfaction of watching me break down twice in the same building.The test was a success and the test results will be out soon so I just needed to sleep right now, when the door slammed open hard enough to hit the wall.Noah walked in like the room had personally offended him, his jaw clenched, his eyes wild with something I had never seen in them before. It was more than anger, Something bigger and uglier. Behind him Amy followed quietly, dabbing at the corner of her eye with one finger, the performance already running.I sat up fast. "What—"He crossed the room in four steps and slammed a file down against my chest so hard I flinched. Papers scattered across the sheets. "Read it," he said

Chapter 14

Ivy's POVDr. Hayes didn't take me to the theatre.He sat me in the consultation room, pulled a small kit from the cabinet, and reached for my arm with a needle. I stared at it. "That's it? Just blood?""That's all I need," he said quietly. He didn't look at me when he said it. "Where is your husband, Ivy?"I laughed and it came out hollow and wrong. "Stop calling him that. We're getting divorced. He thinks I faked the pregnancy. He thinks I killed my own child on purpose." My voice cracked but I kept going. "He thinks I'm a liar."Dr. Hayes pressed a cotton swab to my arm and said nothing. I watched his face and the tightness around his jaw, the way he kept his eyes down and I understood it in my gut even before I could name it. He was Noah's pack doctor. His license, his hospital, everything he had built existed inside Noah's territory. If he said the wrong thing to the wrong person, it was all gone. So he stayed quiet and drew my blood and I couldn't even blame him for it.I sat i

Chapter 15

Ivy's Pov "What did I do to you? What did I ever do to you that made you think you could take that from me?" I grabbed her again and she stumbled and I didn't let go. "My womb, Amy. You had my womb removed. You took the only thing I had left. You took my ability to ever carry another child and you used it to call me a liar in front of my pack and you stood there and smiled at me while you knew—" My voice broke completely. "Why do you hate me that much? What kind of person does this? What did I ever do to deserve this?"Amy's hand went to her cheek where I had hit her and her eyes filled immediately with tears that she let her lip tremble and I had never in my life wanted to hit someone a second time more than I did in that moment."Noah!" she called out, her voice cracking perfectly on cue.He appeared from the hallway in seconds — of course he will appear, and took one look at Amy's reddening cheek and his face went cold. "What did you do?""Ask her what she did." I held up the file

Chapter 16

Liam's POVSeven days in that dungeon and not once did I think about the cold or the rats or the infected cuts on my back. Every single hour I was down there, the only thing running through my head was Ivy. Whether she was okay. Whether Noah had done something else. Whether Amy had found another way to sharpen a knife and slide it somewhere Ivy wasn't looking.The moment the guard unlocked the cell door and told me my week was done, I was already moving.I heard her before I saw her. The sound that reached me through the hallway stopped me cold — not just some loud sobbing, just that quiet broken kind of crying that a person does when they have run completely out of everything else. I turned the corner into the sitting room and the sight hit me like a fist to the sternum.Two guards had her arms. Ivy's head was down, her hair loose and tangled, her whole body shaking with the effort of holding herself upright, and Noah stood across the

Chapter 17

Ivy's POVI didn't know when I fell asleep and I didn't know how long I was out, but when I opened my eyes the first thing I noticed was the smell. Warm and deep, cedar and something else underneath it that made my wolf stretch inside me like she was waking from the best sleep of her life and release a long satisfied sound that I immediately felt embarrassed about.Then I registered the ceiling.It was high. Impossibly high.. The bed I was lying on was the kind of bed that made every bed you'd ever slept in feel like a park bench. I sat up slowly, my head throbbing, and looked around and understood exactly nothing. Rich walls, heavy curtains, every surface deliberate and spotless and expensive in the quiet way of places that didn't need to announce themselves.This was not Ironveil. This was not anywhere I had ever been in my life.I stood on shaky legs, splashed water on my face from the basin near the window, and looked outside at grounds that stretched further than I could track —

Chapter 18

Ivy's POVI didn't understand what was happening. I didn't understand this place, these people, or why two women who had never seen me in their lives hated me with the specific intensity of something personal. All I knew was that my face was still stinging from the slap, my scalp was burning from where my hair had been yanked, and I was running barefoot through a corridor that kept getting longer with no end in sight and no idea where Liam was.Liam. I just needed Liam and then we would leave. That was it. That was the whole plan. Find him, tell him I was awake, and go. We didn't belong here. Someone had probably just taken us in out of kindness and these two were furious about it and honestly I was starting to think the kindness wasn't worth the trouble.I burst through a side door and the outside air hit me hard. I stumbled onto open grounds and the people moving across the courtyard stopped and stared. Every single one of them. A group near the fountain froze mid-conversation. A ma

Chapter 19

Liam's POVIt’s been one week. I was gone for one week and somehow in that time my brother had decided to use the treasury wing as a personal punching bag, Alpha Edmund had taken his security agreement and his wounded pride I didn’t home with him just because I didn’t attend his daughter’s birthday , and my beta was standing in my office with dark circles under his eyes and the particular energy of a man who had rehearsed this conversation multiple times and was determined to deliver every line.I sat behind my desk, jaw tight, working through the damage reports, and tried very hard not to think about the fact that Ivy had been asleep for three days.I was not succeeding."Did you get the jade key, Alpha?" Rixon dropped another file on the desk. "B

Chapter 20

Liam's POVHer scent was faint.That was the first thing. The moment I stepped into the VIP corridor something in my chest pulled tight and wrong and my wolf lifted his head before my brain caught up. I pushed the door open and stood in the entrance and the room was empty and the blanket was on the floor and the basin was disturbed and there was no Ivy.I walked in. Checked the bathroom. Checked behind the door. Came back and stood in the middle of the room and the tightness in my chest was spreading, slow and cold, into something considerably less comfortable.Nobody came in here. I had made that clear to everyone the day we arrived. Rixon, the two caretakers, and nobody else. This wing, this corridor, this specific suite — nobody without my permission. I had said
