Death To The Alpha Chapter 17: Realizations
Enzo bites his lower lip anxiously before inhaling deeply and kneeling at my feet.“I think about kissing you all the time. It takes me hours to fall asleep because I missed you all day long. I feel like I have to watch you sleep just to make up for it. I don’t just protect you because I have to. Ivy, I do it because I need to. It’s an addiction for me. I’m addicted to you. Addicted to seeing you because if anything were to happen to you…”“Woah, woah… I-I-I… Enzo… I can’t.” I groan as I rest my elbows on my knees, cradling my face between my hands. “Why the hell would you tell me this?” “If the only reason you like him is because he is the first guy to express his feelings, then I’m going, to be honest, and tell you I have had feelings for you since they assigned me as your protector.” he tries to get me to look at him but I can’t bring myself to do it. “But that’s forbidden, Enzo. It’s forbidden to be with your charge.” My voice is panicky even to me.“I am aware of that, Ivy.” He
Death To The Alpha Chapter 18: Back to Mistress
~Enzo POV~I was raised training to protect the alpha and his family. I have trained since the day I was old enough to run. Every day since that moment I have done nothing but keep my promise to protect the alpha’s family, even if the only remainder is the very thing I crave to make my own. Years were spent learning to push aside emotions and make calculated decisions. Logical ones that aren’t driven by something that could make me make a mistake. Something like love. And at the first sign of possibly losing her to another man, I decide to tell her I want her. Basically, I’m a fucking idiot. A love drunk, needy, jealous idiot who apparently has no control over his emotions anymore. Which just made this mission of revenge more dangerous. I slipped up. When she asked for help, I should not have kissed her. I never should have allowed myself to sleep next to her in any form other than wolf form. Yet, here I am walking myself into the room that keeps me from her because I couldn’t just
Death To The Alpha Chapter 19: Alpha's Mate rules
~ Ivy POV~I blink at Enzo’s faded wooden door. It’s giving me fewer mixed signals than he is these days. Do I deserve a door in the face? No. Okay, maybe. But I’m not the horny dick head who just confessed feelings for me when someone else shows interest and then goes and screws the girl he claims to hate. I should have called him out on it. But then I would have to admit to him it bothered me and it bothered me way more than I am ready to admit. And what the hell does he mean by going our separate ways? This dummy thinks he can get rid of me that easily? Enzo is the only person I have in the world. Losing him would be akin to losing my family all over again. I won’t be his mistress anymore? Fine. I can handle that I’m a big girl, but if he truly thinks for one damn second, he can leave me in the dust. He has another thing coming.I stomp my way out of his house, creating as much noise as humanly possible. Is it juvenile? Completely. Do I care? Not entirely. I slam the door shut beh
Death To The Alpha Chapter 20: A date with the Alpha
“I wish there was a better way to prove it to you,” James says, giving me a wary look.His fingers twitch like he wants to reach out and pull me close. I’m relieved when he doesn’t. The problem with his statement is that the mate bond, on my side of things, is completely nonexistent. I can feel a pull to him.Yes, I find him attractive and I know I like him more than I should, but that has to do with him and not the mate bond. I could fall in love with and want him, but when I turn twenty-one and meet my mate, it would be as though I feel nothing for James—if he isn’t my real mate. There is no way for me to determine if what he is saying is true or not. “I am just supposed to believe I’m your mate?” I ask him, my voice breathy. “Are you sure?”“I am sure.” he chuckles and shakes his head. “I’m drawn to you, unlike anyone else. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. Ivy, I’m not making this up. I can feel it tingling in my bones every time I am near you. You were
Death To The Alpha Chapter 21: Drunken Mistakes
A waiter brings me a glass of wine as I take my seat. I look at James, who is sipping on a glass of bourbon. In the human communities, they have what we call watered-down alcohol. Their alcohol has no effect on us, no matter how fast we drink. Our metabolism does not allow us to build up the blood alcohol level in our systems.Enter our own version of alcohol, the same thing the humans have, just a hundred proof and somehow filtered to perfect to still be smooth and tasty. I have only ever had it once. When Enzo and I finished our training and set out on our way here. It ended terribly. I ended up throwing up all night, cuddling with Enzo’s wolf for warmth.I take a few sips, then a tall, thin man approaches James. His eyes skirt over me lustfully and instantly I wrap my free arm over my stomach and avert my eyes.“Dorian is still nowhere to be seen.” Then a salad lands in front of me and I look up, surprised at the waitress, who gives me a sheepish smile.“The alpha pre-ordered all y
Death To The Alpha Chapter 22: Missing
~Enzo POV~I scowl at Ivy’s bedroom window from the cover of the bushes, hating that I can’t be up there. The only thing I hate more right now is that I let her kiss me for as long as I did two days ago. My pathetic, weak heart didn’t need a reminder of how perfect she felt against me and now here I am waiting out her window for her to give me something. It’s been complete radio silence since she walked in that front door. Two days of not seeing or hearing from her. If I didn’t think she could handle herself, I’d be more worried. Instead, I will sit out here and wait for the moment she faces me and that kiss she started. It has been haunting me for too long. I know she was drunk on whatever werewolf-proof wine she had at dinner that night, but she wouldn’t have kissed me unless she wanted to. Unless she thought I was James, maybe? But if she did, that just proves she is in over her head. I know she is deviating from the plan. She is developing feelings for our target’s son. All the
Death To The Alpha Chapter 23: Finding Ivy
“What do you mean, she is missing? Didn’t you just say she was waiting for you in your bed?” I ask James, confused.“Clearly she wasn’t.”“When was the last time you saw her?” I ask.“Two nights ago. We went on our date and it was ruined. I went to her room after I got back and spent the night with her. But I had to leave for a meeting and I got back this morning. Sarah said Ivy left after I did, but never came back.”My stomach burns and bile tries to claw its way up. A steady dose of both jealousy and fear prickles up my neck. I fucking hate how he said he spent the night with her, but what sticks out in my mind the most is the latest cryptic letter. ‘Hard to protect her if she isn’t on pack lands’. Fucking hell. I stuff my feet in my shoes. “She didn’t tell Sarah where she was going?” I ask, standing, then rushing out the door and reaching back to close it behind us.“No,” he shakes his head. “Sarah said she just left the house and ignored her on the way out.”“Did you have any ru
Death To The Alpha Chapter 24: Reunited
~Ivy POV~Okay, now that I am back on the pack grounds and I have two very pissed-off men stalking toward me, I am realizing maybe taking off was a terrible idea. It is a little empowering to know that I can get them so worried, though. Well, Enzo is always worried, but James… Maybe he really is my mate? Why would he lie about that if he has nothing to gain from it?“Hey,” I say in as cherry of a voice as I can muster, hoping to hide the iota of fear that’s settling in my sternum.“Hey? That’s what you want to say right now?” James raises a brow as he practically plows me over, wrapping me in his arms and raising me up. I let out a surprised squeal and wrap my arm around his neck, holding him tight.“I’m sorry! I wanted to surprise you by trying to get my initiation jobs in so I can join the pack sooner. My birthday isn’t too far away.” I grin at him, but I can feel the cool gaze of Enzo’s eyes, tracing my every move. I make the terrible mistake of quickly glancing in his direction an
