FLASHBACK - IVY POV Asher and I were lying in bed one night trying to go to sleep. My head was on his chest and I could hear this irritating noise. I didn't know what the hell it was. It was annoying the hell out of me. I put my head up a couple of times thinking that there was a bug or something flying around the room but there was nothing. So I put my head back down and I tried to go to sleep. I still couldn't sleep so I got up and started looking around the room. I followed it to the TV and I thought there was something wrong with the wiring. So I pulled it forward and Asher sat up on his elbows to see what I was doing. But as soon as he started to talk I put my finger over my lips, telling him to be quiet and I gestured for him to come over to me. He walked over and I showed him the recorder that I found behind the TV. And he was going to pull it down but I stopped him. And I pulled him out into the hallway. " What are you doing?" I whispered. " Someone is listening to u
IVY POV Seeing the look on Lucy's face as she came out of that tunnel was something that I would never forget. She was shocked and knew that she was as good as dead now. And then when Asher went over and shook Axel's hand and thanked him for everything he did, it was classic. I couldn't have pictured it any better. They were all taken to the dungeons underneath the packhouse and a lot of those people had children. So the kids were picked up and they were taken to the orphanage. Because their parents weren't coming home any time soon. I needed to make sure that they were safe. That was one of my responsibilities as the Luna. But the older kids weren't happy. Because they shared the same views as their parents. So they went kicking and screaming and we needed to post guards at the orphanage to make sure that they didn't cause any trouble. It was the older ones that were mostly giving Freya a hard time at school because they thought she was betraying Jackson by being here. When we
I spent three hours in that room with Teagan and she was dragged out all bloody and she couldn't lift her feet so she was dragged back to her cell and she was dumped inside it. Because she was shot up with wolfsbane, she wasn't healing at a wolf's speed. And she was going to be feeling that for a long time. " So, who's next?" Axel asked. " I don't know. It's Asher's turn." I say. " Oh. Thank you baby." He says leaning over and kissing me. " You're welcome. I was definitely going to share with you." I say. So he started looking around and he pointed to one of the men in another cell. So that man was removed from the cell and he was taken to the back room. It had Teagan's blood on the floor and the rope was still hanging from the ceiling. So we just hand to put gloves on and hang him up there without burning ourselves with the wolfsbane. I grabbed a needle out of the bag and jabbed it into his neck and then I sat back and watching Asher at work. He was right. Teagan was luck
ASHER POV I had no idea that Ivy was feeling that way. I can sense her emotions and feelings but the feelings that I have been picking up from her aren't the ones that I would expect to get from her. After she told me about the dream, about our baby boy, it all made sense. She didn't care about hurting these people because of what they were going to do. They were going to really hurt her family. And anyone who knows Ivy, knows that's a big mistake. Family is the one thing that she will definitely kill for. I took Ivy by the hand and we headed back inside and we went upstairs to our room. As soon as I closed the door behind us I saw Ivy start to get undressed and I was standing behind her within seconds and I grabbed her hands that were clutching at the hem of her shirt. She looked at me over her shoulder and I leaned down and kissed her. Capturing her lips with mine and she and I finished taking her shirt off for her. She then turned while still kissing me and I started walking
IVY POV I was woken at 4am that morning and my eyes felt like sandpaper. I knew that I didn't get enough sleep. And as I was starting to come to, I felt Asher's arms around me like a protective shield. I looked up at him and he was still sleeping and lightly snoring and the memories of last night started crashing back, making me snuggle into his chest and smile against him. I knew that if I stayed here for much longer then I would go back to sleep so I needed to try and get out of Asher's vice grip but I woke him up in the process. " What time is it?" He asked. " 4am. We have to get moving." I say. " Damn. That was not enough sleep." He says. " I know. But it was worth it." I smile at him. And he smiled back and put one hand on the side of my face and kissed me. " You don't need to tell me that." He says. We both finally climbed out of bed and got dressed into some daggy old clothes and I went across the hall to Freya's room and I woke her up. " Is it time?" She aske
IVY POV Cole picked Spencer up and carried her back to the packhouse and Asher went with him while I walked upstairs to the bedroom. I sat on the bed staring out the window for a while when Asher finally came in. " Are you alright?" He asked sitting on the bed right next to me. " Yeah. I'm good. It's not my mate that just betrayed me." I say. " No. But she was your best friend and bridesmaid at your wedding." Asher reminded me. " Well, there's nothing that we can do about that now. She was my friend and now it looks like she isn't. I'm used to it." I say. " I'm really sorry baby. I know that you don't have any girls to be friends with." He says. " It's alright. How's Cole holding up?" I asked. " Well, he just rejected her. And she accepted the rejection. That's all done. And he's not handling it very well." He says. " I bet he isn't." I say. " They said that they were going after Carter's pack. Have you heard from him?" Asher asked. " Not yet. He'll call when they
When I managed to get Cole to calm down I got him up to his room and into bed and I made sure that he was alright before I left him. I walked out into the hall and Asher was waiting for me. I think we were both relieved that Spencer was dead but neither of us wanted Cole to be the one to do it. We knew that he couldn't handle it. " I just heard back from the trackers. They found Levi." Asher whispered. " When are we leaving?" I asked. " As soon as possible. But I don't want to leave Cole here alone." Asher says. " What about you're parents. They'll stay with him." I say. " Yeah. Sounds good to me." He says. " Alright. Let's go figure out who we are taking on this hunt." I say and we headed down to the office. We grabbed the files for all of the warriors that we had in camp. We knew that some were loyal and dedicated to us. So they were definitely the ones that we were taking. But we had to sift through the others to make sure that there were no red flags. We were work
IVY POV I was sitting in that dank cell with those other women around me when I heard that someone was walking down the stairs. I was lying down on my cot. The other women seemed scared when they heard people approaching, but I just stayed where I was. " Hello there Ivy." Levi says. " Hey big brother. How's it going?" I asked not even bothering to get up. " I have to say, the timing of all of this is magnificant. I really had no idea that you were pregnant." He says. " Well, you just got goddam lucky then, didn't you?" I asked. " I guess I did. And I thought you capturing Lucy was a bad thing. Is she still alive?" He asked. " Probably not. And neither is Spencer." I say. And I turned my face to look at him and his face dropped at hearing that news. I guess Spencer was the one that he was planning on spending his life with. " Youn killed Spencer?" He asked. " I didn't. Cole did when he heard what she was planning on doing. And after betraying him. It really fucked him u
