KAEL’S POVThe morning light glowed weakly as it seeped through the tall windows of my mansion, but I did not feel the warmth of it because my mind was still tangled in the events of the night before, and I could not stop thinking about her.Ivy.Her face kept appearing in my thoughts, and her voice kept echoing in my ears, and I could still feel the softness of her skin on my hands, the warmth of her body on mine, the way she had looked at me with trust and desire in her eyes. I had never felt anything like it before, and I knew that I would never feel anything like it again.I was still in my study, staring at the wall, when my phone rang.I looked at the screen and saw it was Miranda.I hesitated for a moment, then I picked up.“Kael,” she said, her voice sounding very soft and sweet, like honey dripping from a spoon. “I hope I am not calling too early.”I did not answer.“I just wanted to call and say that I am happy for you,” she continued. “I know things did not end well between

KAEL’S POVThe office was quiet after Pedro left, and I sat behind my desk, staring at the wall, with my mind still tangled in the conversation with the board members and their opposition to Ivy.I had expected resistance. I had expected them to question my choices, but I had not expected them to dig into Ivy’s part and use it against her. They had found out she was once a Luna, and they were using that as a weapom to try to stop me from making her my Luna. They had no right to dig into her past, and they had no right to tell me who I could and could not choose.My phone rang, and it picked it up to see that it was my assistant.“Alpha Kael, I have some information that you need to know,” he said.“What is it?” I asked curtly.“Ivy Morgan was seen meeting with Miranda earlier today.”I clenched my jaw. “Where?”“At the parking lot. They spoke for sometime. And it seemed like a serious conversation.”I was quiet for a moment, as I wondered why Ivy would meet with Miranda after everythi

KAEL’S POVThe office was quiet after Ivy left, too quiet, and I sat behind my desk staring at the door she had walked through, with my mind still tangled in the words we had exchanged and the fear I had seen in her eyes.I replayed everything she had said to me. I did not sign up for this. It is too early. I did not know what I was getting into. She was scared and overwhelmed. And I had only added to her burden by telling her that she signed up for me and everything that came with me.But I had meant what I said. She did sign up for me, and everything that came with me was part of the package. But I had not meant to scare her. I had not meant to make her feel trapped. I had only wanted to make her understand that I was serious about her, that I was not playing games, and that I wanted her to be my Luna.But now I wondered if I had pushed her too far.I was still lost in my thoughts when my asistant walked in with a serious look on his face and said in a low voice, “Alpha Kael, I have

KAEL’S POVThe cafe was quiet, amd I sat at a table near the window, with my phone in my hand, scrolling through business emails that I could not focus on because my mind was elsewhere.My assistant sat at a table nearby, keeping a low profile, just as I instructed him, because I did not want to draw attention. I just wanted to talk to Tara without any distractions.I checked my phone again. There were no messages from Ivy, no missed calls, nothing. I had tried calling her multiple times and each time it had gone straight to voicemail and the silence was eating me.I was about to call her again when I saw Tara walk through the door. She spotted me immediately and walked towards my table and then bowed slightly as she reached me.“Alpha Kael,” she said respectfully.I dropped my phone on the table and waved my hand dismissively. “Please, do not bother with the whole ceremony. I just want to meet you as a friend. Or preferably, your friend’s boyfriend.”Tara smiled and relaxed. Then she

KAEL’S POVThe office was be very quiet, and I sat behind my desk staring at the wall, with my mind still replaying the conversation with Ivy over and over again, and her words were echoing in my head like a song I could not stop hearing.I think we need to take a break.I had not expected her to say that. I had not even been prepared for it. I had told her I loved her, and she had responded by telling me she needed space. It was not what I had wanted to hear, but I understood why she had said it.She was scared and overwhelmed. She was drowning in pressure from all sides and she needed to breathe. The board members, the public scrutiny, the Luna talk and the fear of Damon finding her was all too much for her bear. She needed to step back and find her self again.And I could not blame her for that.But it did not make it hurt any less.I had already started the process of pulling down articles and warning the media. My assistant had been working on it all morning, and he came into my
