IVYMy phone rings just as I'm stepping out of the shower, wrapped in one of the plush robes from Liam's bathroom.....my bathroom rather.At this point, it had to be my bathroom since Liam gave up his room for me. After the wedding, a part of me was worried he would want us to move into the same room together but thankfully, he did no such thing and headed to his own room.Coexisting in the same bedroom with another man wasn't something I was up to right now.After everything with Noah, the idea of sharing a bed with a man, any man, makes my skin crawl.Shaking the thoughts of out my head, I stepped into the bedroom and went towards the phone jarring against the vanity top.I glance at the screen and my heart does a little flip.It's mom calling.I take a breath before answering, forcing brightness into my voice. "Hey, Mom!""Ivy, sweetheart!" Her warm voice fills my ear and instantly I feel like I'm seven years old again, safe in her arms. "How are you feeling? How's my grandson d

IVY"Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" The woman exclaims while I grab a towel to help clean up.Her face flushes bright red and her hands flutter nervously as she starts making signs rapidly, then catches herself."I'm deaf," she says, her words slightly stilted but clear. "I can only read lips so I didn't hear you coming.""Oh!" Understanding floods through me and I give her a crooked smile. "I'm the one who should apologize then. I startled you.""No, no." She takes the paper towel from me, scooping up the spilled food. "I should have been more aware. I'm so sorry, I'll clean this and make fresh food, ma'am.""Please don't apologize." I smile and help her gather the mess even as she clearly tries to reject my help. "It was completely my fault."She pauses, studying my face as if she's trying to figure out if I'm serious."And please, call me Ivy," I say, making sure she can see my lips clearly. I deliberately leave out the Luna part because that title feels too heavy right now.Her expres

IVYThe next week passes in a blur of legal documents and phone calls filled with tension and a few arguments.I've taken down all the evidences about Amy's crimes and even withdrew the charges.And finally, the day arrives.The day my ex husband will reject me and sign the divorce papers.I wake up early, my stomach twisted in knots that have nothing to do with nervousness. My stomach are in knots because of anticipation.This is it. The day I finally cut all ties with Noah Blackwood.I'm pulling on a simple black dress when I hear raised voices downstairs.I stop my movements so the rustles can fade out and I hear Liam's voice, laced with frustration as he snaps at someone. While our butler, Sterling responds in calm, measured tones.Frowning, I quickly put on the dress and hurry down the stairs to find Liam in the foyer.He's dressed in a dark suit, tailored perfectly to his muscular frame.But his expression is thunderous and the five'o clock shadow on his jaw adds to his danger

Ch-35

LIAMThe moment my driver tells me the border emergency is a false alarm, I know it's all a set up That fucking bastard.There are no rogues testing our defenses or territorial disputes. It's just a fabricated crisis designed to pull me away from Ivy and I fell for it.Noah knows just how protective I am only pack and I'll be at every Frontline to protect my people.My phone rings before I can bark orders to turn the car around.And a glance at my phone tells me it's Sterling."Alpha, the Luna refused security detail and left alone." His voice is tight with concern. "She took a cab to this address."He rattles off the location and ice floods my veins.That's not the law office we agreed on. It's an abandoned industrial zone on the edge of my territory....on unclaimed land basically because it borders my pack, The Rosewood pack and the Night wand pack. It's not exactly unsafe but since sits unclaimed land, anything goes and there won't be enough people around to hear Ivy if she screa

Ch-36

Liam's POV"She is." I say coolly and pull the divorce papers from my jacket, setting them on the metal table beside his chair. "Which is why you're going to sign these tonight."He stares at the papers as if they might sprout sharp fangs and bite him. "I'm not signing anything.""No?" I pull out a lighter and flick it once. The flame dances in the darkness, illuminating the stark fear on his expression. "You're covered in gasoline, Noah. All it takes is one spark."His eyes go as wide as saucers as he stumbles through his next words. "Y-y-you're bluffing. You wouldn't...Grandfather would never forgive you if you hurt me."A bitter laugh rumbles out of me and I curl my lip into a dark smile. "Wanna test that theory?"His throat bobs, but he doesn't respond so I just take out my phone and hit dial. After putting it on speaker, I hold it in front of me.It rings twice before my father's voice fills the chamber."Did he sign it yet?" the old man asks without preamble.Noah's face dra

THIRD POVNoah's eyes snap open and he jerks upright, gasping.His hands fly to his face, searching for injuries he know he got from all the cuts and blows to his face. But he feels nothing. His skin is smooth and unbruised, every evidence of what happened in that godforsaken tunnel, cleared.He's wearing fresh clothes and his hair doesn't reek of gasoline anymore. Even his jaw, where Liam punched him, feels fine.What the hell?He looks around, disoriented.He soon realizes he's not in the tunnels anymore. He's in a sitting room...an elegant one with leather furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking manicured gardens."Ah, you're awake."Noah's head snaps toward the voice.His grandfather sits in a wingback chair near the fireplace, looking distinguished in a gray suit. Uncle Liam stands by the window, hands in his pockets, expression unreadable.And Ivy sits on the couch across from him, her face carefully blank.Noah touches his face again, confusion overwhelming the fea

IVY "Where are you taking me?" I ask for the third time as Liam guides me down the front steps of the manor, his hand warm on my elbow. The blindfold he insisted on tying over my eyes is soft silk, but it's still annoying because I literally can't see anything through it. "Patience," he says, and I can hear the smile in his deep voice. "I don't want to be late to work on my first real day back." My voice is a little whiny but I'm not ashamed of that. After all, Liam is my mate. I can be allowed a moment of softness with my second chance mate. That is still almost like a dream to me by the way. The shock...and warmth that flowed through yesterday when I'd just been broken apart by Noah's rejection. No matter how much one prepares their mind for the pain of rejection, it's never bearable. in that moment yesterday, it felt like I was going to die, my heart is getting ripped out of my chest and tears burned my eyes. But Liam's beautiful bond had circled it's soothing branc

Ch-39

Ch-40

LIAMI end the call with my beta with a long sigh and set my phone down.Then I lean back in my office chair and stare at the ceiling, recalling his words."The Blackwood territory will be yours within the month, Alpha." he'd said. "Your Nephew has lost eighty percent of his clients which means he has no way to fund the day today functioning of his pack. So the pack is hemorrhaging members. It's just a matter of time before the council votes him out."That's good news. Everything I wanted to hear.But instead of satisfaction, all I feel is this gnawing restlessness in my chest.I haven't seen Ivy properly for the past three days.Every morning has been me waking up early to handle the northern border disputes and unfortunately, it takes time to find a resolution so those every morning departures becomes late-night returns to find her already asleep. For these three days, we've passed each other in hallways with nothing more than quick smiles and "how was your day" conversations.This

Ch-41

Liam's POV By the time I hear Ivy's car pull into the driveway, everything is ready. The staff cleared out an hour ago after helping me set up. Candles and roses line the hallway leading to the dining room and the table is set with our best china, with fresh flowers in the center. And I'm in the kitchen, wearing nothing but an apron and slacks, putting the finishing touches on the meal I spent three hours preparing. Coq au vin. Her favorite, according to the food diary Sterling keeps. It's a little cliche, I know, but it's a start to getting to know my mate better and being the man she deserves. Hearing the front door open and her footsteps ring in the quiet hallway, my heart skips a beat. "Something smells amazing, Margie." she calls out and a smile ticks at my mouth.She thinks it's my cook preparing dinner. It would have been a little odd for her to call out to dear Margaret, knowing she's deaf, but Ivy bought her hearing aids a few days ago.I'm still shocked at how easily
