Rafe had picked up a coat and that of Ivy and told her they would go for a walk. The house was too tight a space for him to have shared his father's past with her.As they got there, he sat down to process some information and then turned to tell her.Rafe slowly looked up at Ivy, his face illuminated by the faint light of the street lamp outside. He could feel the weight of the story he was about to tell her and he hesitated for a moment. He had never told his father's story to anyone before, and he wasn't sure how she would react. He had to tell her. He had to tell her the truth about his father and why they had to flee their former home, hunted by werewolf hunters. He had to tell her the truth about Mr. Cayton and the price his father had paid for their safety. Ivy's expression remained neutral as she waited for him to continue. Rafe cleared his throat and began, his voice low and measured."My father used to work for Mr. Jones Vones

The sun was setting, painting the sky in a brilliant array of oranges, yellows and pinks. Ivy stood in the center of the cottage's front yard, her eyes scanning the horizon. She had been here for days. Everything had been going according to her plan. She was completely healed, and Rafe, who had been teaching her how to use her werewolf powers, was fine. He had earlier told her of his father being an assassin for Mr Jones Vones, and his suspicion that his father might have killed her parents.The thought of her parents being killed by Rafe's father made Ivy's blood boil. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, feeling the anger boiling inside her. She had to focus, she reminded herself. She had to be rational and logical.Ivy took a deep breath and looked around. The cottage was surrounded by a small forest, a few trees scattered here and there. She could see a few wolves in the distance, their bright yellow eyes peering out from the darkness. She realized tha

Rafe felt a sense of dread wash over him. He had been running away from his family for so long, and now they had finally found him. He had been able to stay hidden for so long, but his luck had finally run out.He looked over at Ivy, who was standing beside him, and he could see the fear in her eyes. He knew that she was scared, and he wanted to protect her. But he had no idea how he was going to do that.He grabbed her hand and tried to reassure her. He told her that everything was going to be alright, but he could tell that she didn't believe him.Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. It was loud enough to shake the entire house. Rafe knew that it was his family, and he felt his heart start to race. He knew that he had to act fast.He grabbed Ivy and pulled her close to him. He whispered in her ear, "I need you to stay here. No matter what happens, don't leave this room. I'll be back soon." She nodded and Rafe kissed her forehead before

The moment the car stopped in the driveway of their home, Rafe's mother's heart started beating faster. She had been expecting her son to arrive with his father and his brother, but there were only two people inside the car. Without wasting any more time, she rushed outside to meet them."Where is Rafe?" she asked with a hint of panic in her voice.Rafe's father got out of the car and looked at her with a heavy heart. "I asked him to come but he refused. We gave him a chance to come home soon." he said.Rafe's mother was surprised. She had expected Rafe to come back home but he had not. She asked her husband why he had not forced him to come back."I didn't want to drag him home," he said. "I thought he would come on his own. Besides, we also saw Ivy there."Rafe's mother was shocked. She had expected to hear that Ivy was dead but it sounded like she was alive.She thought that Rafe had gone away to find himself after he saw Ivy

Dagger laughed as he saw the look on their faces. He told them to lighten up; he was not going to kill them or anything. He just wanted to tell them the story and foundation of all the problems they had. He smiled and asked if they wanted him to tell them more. Rafe looked to Ivy, as if to ask for confirmation. He did not want to be inconsiderate and wanted to know if his lover wanted to get to the end of everything. She nodded and he nodded too. Dagger mocked them both."Fated to one another. That is right, if only your father had allowed me to get the mate I loved and cherished tol" Dagger said as he pointed to Rafe." Anyway, I would continue for the purpose of you both knowing my story and my real aim as to why I did everything" he cleared his throat.He went on to explain that he had followed Mr Cayton back home. Mr Cayton at that time was not as powerful as he was known during his last days. He was just an average businessman. Mr Cayton housed and fed him. Groomed and bred him an
