11. Scandal

Ivy’s POVRyder and I arrive at the reception a bit late so that there is a crowd at the front of the hall. Ryder gets out of the car and comes around and opens the door for me.I’m nervous and then immediately angry with myself. Why should I fear these people? I am the Princess of Ice Moon. I was born to lead. They doubted me. Now they will see the truth, they will see the real me!When I step out of the car the people, one-by-one, turn towards me. I know the effect I’m having and I won’t hide it — I’m loving it! Silver Claw Pack treated me horribly. The belittled me and passed awful rumours. Let them see me tonight!Ryder takes my arm. “Let’s go!”We walk down the red carpet and up the steps to the entrance. Just as we’re entering Alicia appears.“Well look at you, Ivy!,” Alicia says. “Who would have thought you cleaned up so nicely?”“Move aside,” Ryder says.“Your boyfriend should watch how he talks to me, Ivy. I will call security and have him carted off unceremoniously.”“Alicia

12. You're my wife

Ivy’s POVTheodore walks towards me until he is standing in front of me. Was he always this handsome? Was he always so tall and strong? Did I forget?I can smell his scent and, despite my best efforts, it excites me. No! I don’t want this. I stand taller. I remind myself of who I am. I am not the Ivy who left Theodore and this place. Not any more!“Ivy?” Theodore stares at me as if he’s seen a ghost. “You’re here. You’ve returned. You’re...so beautiful and... I…”He’s struggling and I like it. Let him struggle. Let him be shaken by me, as he should be! He owes me so much for the crimes he committed against me.“Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you. Every day. I have search parties all over the country. I’ve hired private detectives. I was starting to accept that you were dead. And now you’re here. How can it be?”“But it is. I ‘m here.” I’ll give him nothing. I enjoy watching him suffer.“Grandma Susan and Nicole have been so sad. We must phone them, they must see you. They

13. Unforgivable betrayal

Ivy’s POVIvy pushes Theodore away, hard. “No! I don’t want you!” she shouts. “How can I want a man who was so cruel to me and put me in so much danger?”Theodore backs away. He laughs. “Why do you lie? I know you want me as much as I want you. I can smell your need for me.”“Smell what you want it doesn’t matter. Do you have such a short memory? You threw me away! You told me that Tiffany would be the Luna! You chose her! What do you want with me now?”“It was only until you were better. I said that! I told you I’d come for you when you got better.”“I was never sick! Don’t you get that? I was the only one who was sane! You should have been loyal. You were my husband! You should have taken my side every time. But you didn’t!”“You betrayed me in the most deep and painful way. Now you stand here saying you want me, that you need me. Fuck you! I hate you. We will never be together again. Go to your Luna and leave me alone!”“I love you. I always have.” Theodore says this with his eyes

14. Princess of Ice Moon

Ivy’s POV “Ivy, are you in there? The door’s locked. Should I break it down?” I hear Ryder outside of the door and so does Theodore. He pushes me away and walks to the other side of the room.“You boyfriend’s here to rescue you,” he says. “Have you two mated? Of course you have! Why am I even asking?”Moments ago we were about to make love and now we’re back to this? Fair enough. Theodore is not anyone I want in my life anyway. My wolf has backed down and I can see clearly again.I ignore his arrogant assumptions about me and Ryder. Let him think what he wants. “You’ve had sex with Tiffany. You made our marriage a scam long before I ever did so don’t be Mr Self-Righteous.”He comes close again. “Don’t speak to me like that.”“Why not? You can speak and do what you want and I must walk carefully so as not to bruise your vulnerable ego? No, I’m no longer under your control. I’ll do what I want.”“Step carefully, Ivy, I’m still the Alpha of your wolf pack.”“No. I’ll do ask I want.”I

15. The truth

Ivy’s POV “Ivy?” Theodore says, confused. “What is this? Why are you having the princess’s phone?”Ryder laughs at him. “Put the puzzle together. She has the princess’ phone because —she’s the princess!”“No one asked you!” Theodore says. “Ivy, explain this!”Tiffany jumps in-between us.“What’s there to explain, Alpha? This is the way Ivy operates. She impersonated the heiress of the Beta family here in Silver Claw. Now, somehow, she’s convinced the leaders of Ice Moon that she’s their sole princess. It’s all a lie! Just like always!” Tiffany is furious.Ryder glares at her. “Keep quiet, Woman!”I look at the crowd, all of the Silver Claw pack, and smile.“Everyone knows what the Sterlings and the Alpha of Silver Claw have done to me. I was brought here as a child. Told I was the heiress by my so-called parents,” I begin talking to the people.“Then when this woman, Tiffany, arrived, and said that she was the true heiress, I was tossed away like rubbish. By the Sterlings and by you,

16. Past liquidation

Ivy’s POV Ryder repeats his request more clearly. “You.” he points at Jonathan. “The brother and the Luna, you have disrespected Princess Ivy. I expect a full genuine apologies. Come bow before her and make your amends.”Jonathan stands and faces Theodore. “Are you going to stand here and do nothing? These are foreigners in your land — our land. They can’t speak to me, a Beta in this pack, with such disrespect. Do something! I will not be ordered around by these foreigners.”He is searching for any way to pull us away, to make us less than Silver Claw.Theodore’s eyes glow green, his wolf is near. “How are you speaking to your Alpha? Do you think you can order me around? I’m growing very tired of you Jonathan. Perhaps I will have to teach you some lessons you seem to have not learned.”“No...of course not. I’m not disrespecting you. I’m just emotional about all of this. Ivy is here to punish us, to make us submit to her. She’s treating the Luna badly. That undermines your power. Desp

17. Divorce

Ivy’s POVI’m finished with all of this. I need a break, I need to be with a friend and I want to talk to Nicole. She knows the truth now and I want to hear what she thinks about everything.Ryder and I leave the stage and I look for Nicole in the crowd.“There she is,” Ryder says pointing toward the door.I rush to her. There’s a look on her face that concerns me, is she disappointed in me? I hope not.“Nicole, can we talk?” I ask.“Okay but I need to get out of here. This hall is making me sick,” she says.We walk outside around to the back of the hall where there’s a well organised rose garden with a brick path and benches strategically placed. We sit down on one of them. It’s nice to be in the fresh night air. I didn’t realise how stifling it was in that hall until I sat down on the bench under the stars.Ryder takes a position to keep his eyes on every direction where danger might appear. I know I’ve upset many in Silver Claw, he knows it too. He stands ready for action.“You he

18. That's just your desire

Ivy’s POV Theodore looks at my neck. “No mark. Your boyfriend must not be very serious about the relationship if he hasn’t marked you.”“Did you mark me?” I ask, I know why he was reluctant to mark me and so does he— he wasn’t sure if he was going to keep me.He ignores my words and instead touches my neck, running his finger gently down my neck then along the top of my gown and over my breast. A surge of desire pulses through my body.I shift back so his hand falls off of my body. He looks at me. “Why do you want to deny what we both feel?”“I admit the desire is there, but at what cost to me? You bring only pain and sadness into my life,” I say.If I’ve learned nothing, I’ve learned that desire is not love, it is not commitment, and it is not loyalty. It can also be a liar that leads you far away from what is good for you.“For five years I’ve been happy and loved, for the first time in my life. My desire for you would cost me far too much and I’m not willing to pay that price agai

19. The quadruplets

Ivy’s POV I wake up in the hotel after a great night’s sleep. Surprisingly I feel recovered from the night before. How crazy was all that?The phone rings and it’s Nicole. “Good morning,” I say.“You sound significantly better. Are you still here?” Nicole asks.“Yes, we have a meeting with Theodore at his house this morning and then we’re heading home this afternoon.”I remember the offer I made to Nicole the night before. “So have you thought further about coming with us?”“There’s little I’ve thought of except that. I’ll pass by the Alpha’s house so we can have a talk before you leave.”“That sounds hopeful.” I decide then I’ll not keep the secret any longer. “Nicole, that secret, the one you asked about last night.”“Yes, I remember.”“I want to tell you, you’ll realise as soon as I do that this is top secret. No one else must know.” I’m positive I can trust Nicole.“I understand.”“The quadruplets didn’t die in the car crash, Nicole. I have four beautiful five year olds waiting

20. Alpha's regret

Theodore’s POV I shave carefully and apply my most expensive aftershave. I want to look good for this meeting. I go to my wardrobe and choose a navy suit, the one that fits closely to my body. I look at myself in the full length mirror.I know Ivy will not be able to resist me. Perhaps we will mate again finally in this very room. This time I will mark her. This time she will know she’s mine forever!I didn’t sleep with Tiffany the night before so she’s not around. I’m in my own rooms, free to do as I like without her questions and comments.The reception the night before was crazy. I needed to be alone last night to think through everything. To make a plan to get Ivy to return to me, to return home where she belongs.She talked a big game yesterday about how she hates me and will never return, but I know her, I felt her. She will be mine again. We cannot fight the fact that we are fated!Then I remember her talking about divorce and the boyfriend she loves, waiting for her at home w
