Chris' POV
Guilt gnawed away at me as I shushed Ivy. She still didn't know that her father's death wasn't just a death. It had, in fact, been a murder. And it was the members of this pack itself who had killed her. And that I was the one responsible for her father's death, albeit indirectly.
I wanted to tell her the truth, I always tried to be honest with her. But this news could have catastrophic consequences. She could actually leave me for this. Ans I didn't want to loose her. Not now, not ever.
I'd waited way too long for a mate and I wasn't ready to part with her so soon, or ever for that matter.
So, I chose to stay silent, gently rocking her back and forth instead.
Our relationship had only just started and I didn't want to jeopardize it right now. I'd be the first to admit that I was selfish when it came to her. As much as I wanted to give h

Ivy's POV I made my way into our room. There, on the floor in front of our bed lay a carton made of cardboard. I briefly wondered when I began thinking of this room as ours instead of just his or mine. Probably somewhere between agreeing to share the same bed as him and kissing him. I shook the thought away, focusing on the box instead. I heaved it up onto the bed before sitting cross legged in front of it on the bed. Slowly, I took the tape off of it. I didn't know what I was supposed to feel as I opened the box and looked at it's contents. There wasn't much in there, the box hadn't been very big to begin with so I hadn't hoped for much. Inside, there was a large file, a leather bound journal and a small photo album. I picked up the photo album first, memories floating in the front of my mind's eye in a rush as I flipped through it, stopping on a picture from my eighth b

Chris' POV It was two days after Ivy had gotten the responsibility to handle the preparations for the Imperial Ball and I was making my way towards the meeting room for our everyday run through of things. I was glad that she'd made some friends here in the form of the mates of the council members and someone to talk to.Besides, they were also helping her plan the Ball which was in turn keeping her busy rather than sitting around all day in our room. It was the perfect task for her, overseeing preparations for the Imperial Ball. It wasn't dangerous at all, kept her from going stir crazy sitting idly in her room, and gave her the power and responsibilities befitting of a Luna. It was an all around win win situation. Of course, I'd instructed Martha to keep an eye on the preparations. It wasn't that I didn't trust Ivy to do it properly, I was sure she'd ace it but I didn't want to risk it. I didn'

Ivy's POV I squealed like a little school girl as I bounded down the hallway, hearing Chris' fast approaching footsteps behind me. I knew it was only a matter of time before he would catch up and get ahead of me. But I had won my fair share of races back at school so I was hoping it would at least count for something. Who are you kidding Ivy? You knew you were never going to be able to win against him. That was why you bet what you did. An annoyingly smug voice whispered at the back of my mind. I ignored it. But the annoying voice continued, relentless - And you want to loose after what Chris bet in exchange, don't you? Why did my subconscious have to be so annoying? I huffed to myself. Fine, I liked kissing Chris. There, I admitted it. In fact, it was quickly becoming one of my favourite thi

Chris' POVAfter lunch, I made my way towards the dungeons in the basement, leaving Ivy to go continue her preparations for the Imperial Ball. I hadn't particularly wanted to force Ivy for the Luna ceremony, but it was essential. The pack needed to officially meet their Luna and the sooner it was done, the better. I could've delayed it if she'd been a normal werewolf, but she wasn't. She was a hybrid and from what I'd heard so far through my sources, the pack members were vary, unsure and apprehensive about her.They didn't know what to make of the introduction of a hybrid to the pack. I figured once she was formally introduced to the pack as their Luna, their apprehensions would die down.Fred mind linking me pulled me out of my thoughts. 'The table is set, Alpha. We're waiting for you.''I'm on my way,' I told him before cutting off the link. Fred had found and brought the two werewol

Ivy's POVIt was no surprise when Chris won the race. Again. But only because he had gotten a headstart. Or at least that was what I argued with when he called me a 'rotten tomato', trotting around me like a smug little shit.Sometimes he was so childish, it was difficult to believe he was the same Chris who ripped through more than a dozen rogues.'Turn around, I need to change,' I told him through the mind link once he was done gloating.He nodded his large head before pushing the bag towards me with a paw and turning around obediently.Quickly, and a lot less painfully, I managed to turn into my human form before I quickly pulled on the plain grey t shirt and black track pants I'd gotten with me. And if the colour of the t shirt matched that of his, then it was merely a coincidence.Once I was done, I called out to him. "Oka

Chris' POVIvy looked lost in thought as we made out way back to our room. The fact that two different elements backed her magic seemed to trouble her. I knew she was trying to adjust to her being a hybrid to the best of her abilities, but things such as this seemed to put her off a lot.I decided to do something to cheer her up a little. Recalling I hadn't taken her on a proper date yet, I decided to do just that.Once we had entered our room, Ivy turned to me. "Let me just freshen up a bit and then we can go have dinner."I shook my head at her. "No."She frowned. "What do you mean no? Do you not want to have dinner?""I do, but not here. Go get ready, I'm taking you out on a date."Her eyes widened in surprise. "Date?" she parroted.I smirked. "And Miss Parrot makes her return."

Ivy's POVHastily, I ducked underneath Chris' arms and stepped out of them. Then, I quickly stepped out the elevator into a hallway of sorts.Clueless as to what to do next, I looked to behind me at Chris. His face gave nothing away but the way his eyes had narrowed told me that he was annoyed. I hid my smile behind my hand as he stepped out."Come," he told me, keeping his hand at the small of my back to guide me down the hallway.I obliged, letting him lead me towards the double doors at the end of the hallway.And then we were stepping into a restaurant with tables and chairs littered all around the large space. The restaurant felt as if I had entered a dreamland, the happy chatter, the fragrances, the easy and natural colours, they all relaxed me almost instantly. It was your typical restaurant with beautiful overhead lights, decorative w

Chris' POVI drove towards our next destination in silence, ignoring Ivy's attempts to ask me where we were going.Admittedly, I had been a little worried about whether or not Ivy would like what I planned or not. I'd never felt self doubt while leading a pack as large as mine but when it came to her, I was seldom sure about anything. I still hadn't decided if it was a good thing or a bad one. Though something told me she wouldn't have said anything even if she hadn't like it because she was sweet like that.But with the way she had chatted away happily, and praised the food, I knew that she had. I could only hope she would like what I had planned next as well."For the last time Chris, tell me where it is that we're going. You've practically crossed the entire town now," Ivy huffed, settling back in her seat with a cute little frown.She was
