Ivy
Ivy slowly opened her eyes and realised that she cried herself to sleep. They were69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme3vRklD3t
caked slightly, and her lashes were stuck to her cheeks. She looked around at69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiiBGBjfoL
her surroundings and found that she was still in the trunk. She thought the fumes from the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzR0RMzyWt
exhaust assisted with knocking her out because the stench was awful. Ivy’s69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEm5pAYOIP
head was foggy, and she knew that Catori must have been feeling the effects69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLLWRJkQF4
too. Ivy tried mind-linking with her wolf, with no response. She realised that69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLOtpAO4U3
she was still untied and so began to quietly look for an object to assist her69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSf8U97pbV
to escape. There was nothing to be found, nothing to even try to pick the lock.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhnkTZWQUO
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUmTybdBPO
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY4oc0rltr
The car slowed to a halt, and she could hear muffled voices outside, moving slowly in her direction. I hope Dad has heard what has happened and has69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6FJNGlGjT
tried to find me, she thought. In the past Ivy’s father had roadblocked the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWKR68f6vO
streets and made his Scouts and Sentinels search the entire area for other69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSC5PVlHom
members that went missing. The car jerked forward, and Ivy smacked her head69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2UuaiRT3W
hard on the side of the car. She lifted her hand to her head, and it felt wet69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ9dp9hBil
with blood. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbH7xBiaJJ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfojoa5SysK
“Bloody dick heads!” she yelled, not sure if they heard. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DyQG6kYXf
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu3CwXhE16
The car was still creeping forward and there were loud horns blaring in the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNHiTpbGLC
distance, which indicated a new arrival. The car stopped once again, and the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQq7rufTyE
Rogues immediately got out of the car. Their footsteps came around to the back69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYzdKF5sqT
of the car. Ivy knew that she should have her used her instincts to run as soon69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C3WgNIzG1
as they opened the trunk, but she felt exhausted from crying and the exhaust69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uRHvmrL9Q
fumes kept her drowsy. The trunk opened and Ivy expected the sunlight to burn69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAHXdHLzAp
her eyes, but instead she was met with the moon glaring down at her, high in69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmHE1jyAef
the sky. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF9Tz6rDRZ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iqLBbOQCb
One of the Rogues hauled her over her shoulders, and she took a glance back69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGdpIjGE0k
towards the car. The moonlight revealed bunches of wolfsbane wedged around the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgo6E8QrcG
side of the boot where she was positioned. There was no wonder why she and Catori felt awful. Wolfsbane is a poison for her kind. When you touch it with bare69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rgyDmnDBC
skin, it burns to high heaven. Ivy’s father tried soak-bathing her in wolfsbane69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkajVQKiQgw
when she was younger to try to build a tolerance for it and all Ivy remembers69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuc2gST221
was that it was hell. She still has scars from the burning. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTkIxPevbH
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnXkJwGo1o
“Come on, can’t keep the Alpha waiting, can you walk now?”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd7ondAsh6
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tqplaHjcE
She nodded.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77OwoYASHp
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG3yRbzCJY
The Rogue, who had changed his attitude dramatically since helping to69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pjPqtqBi8
massacre and desecrate Ivy’s school, lowered her to her feet. She stumbled for a69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquFcDocvzG
moment, and tried to gain her balance and at the same time, drastically searched for a way69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtuqXcao43
out. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyksGLiueT
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHQdNgitIP
Looking around, Ivy could see nothing but a barren wasteland. There were no69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFJ9WZoFWm
trees, no green and the only thing surrounding them was steel, upon steel of69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln1tfSkmTo
ten-foot-high walls of sold concrete. The wolves were wearing armour so thick,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7he2O0Dkn2
that they would have had to stay in their wolf forms to even hold it. Ivy took69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghzAfKf4BF
notice of the Sentinels that guarded the gate and took note of the lever that69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN96Ub5ySK6
opens and closes; the only way out. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipy9pWmiD5
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW9Ar1feBN
There were a few haybales backed up to the side of the gate, which would allow69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPp0aoT8Az
for an easy getaway, but Ivy was certain that there would be nothing on the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbP53F9cLi
other side to protect her fall. Just a ten-foot drop to her death. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkQeHmGock
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQQP8IjXvu
The Rogues surrounding Ivy nudged her along, and towards the dirt pathway that led to the packs house. At the end of the path stood a huge castle-looking fortress. This looked nothing like the pack hall at home which was69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLse1mthxKk
beautiful and quaint. This castle fortress was made of thick concrete and69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwtNqiUAgK
looked cold. This was not a home; this was a death sentence.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceXxZvp3ac
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1wAevwyEq
Ivy stepped forwards, one foot at a time and she noticed that the Guards and69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIydDKLrZEm
Sentinels didn’t even look down as they passed through. They had a glazed69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU0d3NdUoo
look over their eyes which only meant one thing. They were under Alpha command.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5InA1bxkNL
How long have they been like this? Surely their human forms are going crazy, Ivy thought. She tried to form a mind-link and reach out but only to be met69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10UQSv5Fm4
with blockage from the Alpha command. They had all been completely locked69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmODoF9dHcX
out and all control has been given to their wolf forms. As they reached the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv1nLrd0to
thick concrete stairs that led into the fortress, Ivy saw that there were69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeURruMEUXc
no windows either and the silence that surrounded them was deafening. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3kNA4z5Pv
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeOCTxXSoE
“Where are all the women and children?” Ivy asked, mainly to herself, under her69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ex7tKejXx
breath.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInBla8h7Kc
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDfbxMajxE
One of the Rogues made eye contact and almost triumphantly gleamed. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF396GOt9Rt
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcMdWxhEEM
The doors immediately opened, with a loud thud and standing before them were69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylYJlOb8zf
ten women, minimum. They were wearing raggedy robes and had tousled hair. The69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSDjlCClja
women silently looked at Ivy up and down and then reached towards her to69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfra1nMEBA
grab at her arms and gesture inside. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed0WXxHvT3
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUxZ5BigUY
Ivy reluctantly moved forward but was pushed hard by the Rogues behind her. One69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbOQTkCBx1
woman spoke in a hushed whisper to the lead Rogue and gestured them inside and69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUKVAzQslq
down a corridor. The other nine women took hold of Ivy and led her in the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkwbHQVdz3
opposite direction towards a staircase. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VPMO1Zven
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o5lPvhEpr
The women took her to a bedroom which boasted a huge king size, four-posted bed69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bO7mack5G
which was quilted with gold and ruby colours. Furthermore, there were open69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDceqyuCkMA
wardrobes full of gowns and an adjoining bathroom. One woman moved towards the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLvIaNnMeE
bathroom and started to run a bath. The steam from the hot water slowly drifted69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMMM3WicJU
out of the doorway and the scent of rose petal, milk and honey had left Ivy69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnF1wJcOq9
longing for it. A woman spoke, startling Ivy.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZpDsG8itM
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3oZwAdtch
“This is your quarters, Miss Ivy, we have been expecting you. Please bath, gown69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg386ONPrr6
and meet Alpha in the dining room.” 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjH4ffCaBC
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxQrMnn3MU
The woman stood slightly taller, “You have thirty minutes.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wLb3sfSOt
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1pp1NqJam
All nine of them quickly rushed out of the room, leaving Ivy alone. They69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lrtxb620K
probably cook as well.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gwQy9XfSU
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDvQCrIiAY
“Ivy, can you see a way out? I feel uneasy.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb74vnJKJX6
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvDr2HfHY8
“I looked when I came in but there is nothing. There aren’t even any69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMxACYekvB
windows in this place and the doors are solid oak. This place was clearly built69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKmXYIZTYk
so that no one gets out.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Dzb2A9dp
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2dwtW4Rh6
Catori growled at Ivy’s response. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWiMDmtv1u
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoXN9QGKqP
Ivy pulled her hair back behind her ears and walked towards the door to see if69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iyJEkNTXq
anyone stood the in hallway. Perhaps they could make a quick escape. No sooner as69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYICxXJdYiM
she turned the doorknob to peep out, a dark shadow stood in front of her,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUqs29FiAv
blocking her view. Whoever he was, was wearing big black combat boots and dark69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJSZJsxPMY
grey jeans, with small tears in the knees. He had chains draping all over them.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqCK6mxmNS
Ivy started to trail her eyes up further and noticed that he was wearing a69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sYtsT6K6v
black t-shirt and his face boased a nose-piercing. This was certainly not69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITh32uvFSh
what she had imagined. He was tall and his muscles protruded from his jeans and69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0PXsLrqNH
t-shirt. He had black hair and olive skin with deep, dark eyes. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfCGCWCPQS
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI22UcbWBM9
“Sorry, I was just checking out the scenery,” Ivy squeaked. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaj3SLN0Ow
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbV8TsB8x0
“You are not bathed,” he said, looking at her messy hair, which still69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1vgQKaM1A
had blood through it from earlier. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWBiu36fs1
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgG2uupsLO
“BATHE,” he roared as he pushed Ivy, back through the doorway. She slammed the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgiEeMNX4a
door in his face and locked it. His big combat boots marched off down the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCZZNT5MGA
hallway, and to notify his Alpha of the occurrence. Ivy rolled her eyes69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9F5Gi3CVQ
and let out a sigh. She started to get undressed to get into the bath. Surely,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu82ayEBdCN
I have wasted a good ten minutes out of the thirty. Ivy made sure to close69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhZO5ic2VE
the bathroom door with a bang, to ensure it was heard by whoever was stationed close by and then proceeded to69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNdcdwNImU
lock it. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcF9yEhASk
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExxjOEhmZr
The warmth of the water was perfect and so soft from the milk and honey. The69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIQoFexFvW
water was soothing from the rose petals and her body relaxed. She dunked69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzboljSTR1O
herself under the water to wash the dried blood from her hair and scrubbed her69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVmk2WyI5I
body clean. For a moment, Ivy seriously considered having a nap but thought69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMASe424aBN
that her ass would probably be handed to her, and she did not have the energy69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEa7nwsQ5q
to fight back. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxQN4okPtA
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitkl1tChQY
BANG! BANG!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN65oqv8w9
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAGG76we65
“You are late, get out here now and get dressed!” 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnizk3NrYz
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl0f90a8lD
Ivy recognised the deep low voice anywhere… combat boots man. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXKb4IMk4W
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZMioQLfQz
“Excuse me! I have washed my hair so get out of my room so I can get dressed,”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgDKtbL2eI
she yelled back. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdu6nkWK99
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaoJHcupUz
“No can do, Miss, under strict orders to watch you.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUPRKJPE5G
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbpf8LKYQR
“WATCH ME GET DRESSED?” Ivy shrieked.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDXasjrujx
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Rh8OM0u2
Silence. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqEfVbcLEs
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCez5VSrzU
“No…make sure that you actually make it to dinner.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcZ18lDWbr
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhoXqWP9kD
“Well, get out of my bloody room so that I can get dressed.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk4dinWNLU
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKBUM2A0vB
His growl was rough and low, and Ivy was sure that she felt it go through her,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyRTwsIWSO
even through the door. He punched the door and stormed off. Ivy didn't move69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz6nC6yHZM
until she heard the bedroom door close behind him. As soon as the door was69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo702hTrlX1
closed, combat boots man tried to mind-link with her. His force was powerful69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTkCX7JdS3
and strong, and Ivy tried to block him out, but he broke through. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAT3b8kxKu
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk1B6JAV6w
“You need more training in that weakling. Get out and get dressed, trust me you69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91BWc2wW8q
do not want to be late; I do not want to be forced into hurting you.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8owpQVCDG
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV30t2bicG
Ivy scoffed at him. Fear of being hurt, urged her out of the bath and dried69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cutx5rJit
herself quickly with the soft, warm towels that were provided by one of the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGr2jsSWp1
women. She unlocked the door and briskly walked to the wardrobe, pulling out69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUr2nHvnHh
any old gown to wear. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYHJkn8i1M
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhqCqbrvlm
Ivy marched to the door in a huff and threw it open which almost startled the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwApU1aNX9
rude, obnoxious stranger. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1mrjONUQs
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrxh2GMqdj
“I am ready now,” she said sternly, as she made eye contact whilst squinting69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUfBJM5PPz
her eyes.
She knew that her reaction was very teenager, but he rolled his eyes69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL8yKEtouR
in return and ushered her forward down the hall. Ivy stole a glance as he69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM69tTdoc1T
continued to push her, and she swore she saw him smirking. Ignoring the smirk69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgU1NE4YXE
Ivy started to storm down the hallway, not actually aware of where was headed,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmJXgzfpwf
but she could hear him chuckling behind her.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71k8gOcpqK
“Left. Right. Now the stairs and take your right.” 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn5Zlnudrh
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkAL2zE8Vr
Whoever the combat boot man was, Ivy was thankful for allowing her to be in a69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR31dqacMj
mood. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80JWUFR5SG
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKWw9fbHHm
She forcefully opened the door to the dining room, and eager to take on whoever69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgInl1Rwe5K
had dragged her from her territory to this ghastly place. She felt bewildered69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla6dSQcCeH
that whoever this was, may not have known that she was an Alpha’s daughter. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfgZPihmSX
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0rGzgQKIU
Straight ahead at the end of a long table, was what looked like a shell of a69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTrEYY8KBi
man and Ivy’s anger simmered to nothing short of an extinguished wick. This69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hhpb6PoMb
must be Alpha Harold. This was the man that everyone feared. They feared69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpdA8lj2gt
his army, his pack and most of all him, due to his habit of breaking truces and69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50cUjmKC0M
making decisions erratically. Ivy almost laughed out loud but almost just felt69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0oQylBAKq
sorry for him. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC6mupLoC1
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrHCi07Fpm
“She is here, sorry for the tardiness sir,” the stranger growled as he left us69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgou5YMCZwl
alone, and he closed the door behind him.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A0Z7eu1oP
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s3cuwfs3j
The stranger did not call the man Alpha so this must have meant that he was of69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTjYjZ4H52
the same ranking or his Beta. There was a long silence, dinner is served from69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBisXYgIiyR
the same women that escorted Ivy to the room. The spread must have taken more69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdtMJ5O25q
than thirty minutes to make. It was all the trimmings, like they prepared for a69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9vUdz2Pbo
banquet. Pork, lamb, almost all the vegetables that Ivy could think of, and69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3E2cTmzFL
cake was included. Not realising how hungry she was, Ivy’s stomach rumbled69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XY2C6kpBe
loudly through the silence. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVLm8nus87
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuiI8VMHFz
“Eat,” commanded Alpha Harold. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgek4e88yZx
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV8mAdAjLF
Ivy’s hands shook as she started to load it up with the delicious food in front69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WvIjBzxQn
of them. Alpha Harold spoke and startled her, forcing Ivy to drop her fork. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT17D4MP0hS
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNosaHavGNS
“You do realise that coming down late for a meal so generously cooked by my69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWyGbZXxSW
pack, is rude and I hate tardiness.” His tone was abrupt and threw Ivy off for a moment. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vNnCMw7Jx
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qbO98dbOy
“I do apologise Alpha Harold, but you do realise that coming into my territory,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8dHdWR8ls
hiring Rogues to do your biding, and forcefully bringing me here is also rude.” 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92ppiGicYl
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0h49u7Dlb
Ivy’s head was hung low, trying to avoid eye contact. She understood that what69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi6Xltz8Yz
flew out her mouth was snarly and disrespectful. She took a glance in his69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTo56NFsX3
direction under her brow, and saw that he flinched at her words, probably69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxp5uCPkmY
something that he was not used to. Everyone else in the fortress trod on69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDpZ0tecSf
eggshells around him. The newfound courage that Ivy felt, meant that if she was69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ9iaD8JTA
going to be his Chosen Mate and Luna of this pack, then he would need to know69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwoUxVZait
his place. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0595F58aGC
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN2ox8EGf7
“You are quite the disrespectful young lady, aren’t you?” he finally spoke. Ivy69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEW7sNkngT
could sense the tension building in the room.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z8UaF5JlD
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRZ5F8WCrJ
“I guess I am going to have that beat that out of you too?” he questioned. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY8CTdP2Dg
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV3jXUMTo8
Regardless of the tension brewing, Ivy still had the courage to keep talking. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3oozh6A14
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplX3wPG21Z
“Why did you bring me here Alpha? What is it that you want?”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JZncgIqNb
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy5grk49ex
“Well Miss Ivy, you can blame your father. You see, he sent word to me with69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8LLMZcY4E
condolences for my late Luna and offered you as a buffer. He explained your beauty69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqwDmWXByS
and rareness of complexion and I thought to myself that there must be some69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDDzDRbNJA
strings attached to this…arrangement. I don’t want ‘strings’ Ivy, so I took69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaPao1rcE3
you instead,” he smiled with pride and chuckled at his ‘genius’ plan. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26J9KZyHAv
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAkqTn2ijS
Still looking down towards her plate, Ivy rolled her eyes. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2AuzI3t7J
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0kzMXHFAU
“Now that I see what you truly are and yes, your beauty, I have no intentions69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4i5vHlxsl
of taking you home. I decided that if I didn’t like what I saw, I’d take you69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcaGM21wpD
home to your pittance of a territory. Hearing your feisty nature and seeing69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11GsQBZeaa
your beauty myself, I might have to just mark you and keep you here,” he69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZGCbn7UVx
laughed.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Vbv4qzE6
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pWv6cvzkm
Suddenly Ivy was not so hungry anymore and she lifted her head to watch him69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE16GLMd0GB
devour his food like he hadn’t eaten in days. The sight immediately put her off69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ199liemU8l
her own meal. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCTIC0uMgS
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S6webkSQV
Alpha Harold spoke again, “You are eighteen in a few days right?”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPQHgFMcQQ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6KmMYjgsg
“Yes,” Ivy conceded.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWkdsldvGc
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH2fQuqRJ9
“Are you a virgin?”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY4E44M8TQ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqA2wFUyOs
“No,” she lied. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqgl2brP8t
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuxDEBTrhy
Ivy did not want to give the man the satisfaction of knowing that he would be69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKliSRvlxWY
taking something sacred from her as well as having the satisfaction of keeping69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4Mh4Kxvez
her trapped there. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Fa4sw0eJ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvl8Ddbr3D
“Used goods,” he scoffed, “Well your father assured me that you are a virgin,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy7csvSQaY
and you are pure…are you a liar as well?”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6sxUxBmZm
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDit0KXMC1C
Ivy was immediately offended, “No, not a liar, my private life is no concern of69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs95P1me2Zk
my father’s once I reached sixteen. I was hoping that he would not ship me off69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcihQoUSdRw
to some horrendous man like yourself.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq7xxzgr2w
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yb9n7QWyG
“Watch your tongue Ivy. You do not know what this man is capable of. His69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMWqOgqKzf
wolf is trying to reach me, but I have him blocked.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMaAfv4Cof
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvO9VVSO1l
Harold slammed his fist down on the table, which caused Ivy to jump out of her69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWfwsIa1Kn
skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps down her arms. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YZ3Z3LJay
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroSbO1EyFQ
“You will not speak to me like that, where is your respect?” he spat, “I am69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDbfDEi2kH
done playing childish games you brat, if you are to be my Luna you will69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouBvMTs5ij
learning to hang off every command I give you and obey.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV6svKN4DF
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d0VUx1IAH
His voice rose slowly and his cheeks blushed red. Ivy knew that she had69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRyYQEv8NF
over-stepped her place, but nothing could stop what she was to say next.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3dAKbR8po
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlqNMtCf4U
“AND if I agree to become your Luna, you will NOT keep me trapped in this cold,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4pSxYPF3Z
forsaken fortress that you call a home and treat me like I am one of your69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcZ8savKRQ
bloody servants. It is YOUR respect and boundaries that are out of line.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjbf3ADHxQ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCQEue8zBy
“IVY!”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrq1Z8sBPv
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjQy3TRWzr
Ivy didn’t care that Catori was concerned about this man, it was just him and69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VMwZVjmhy
her now and she had to stand up for herself otherwise this man was going to69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr0TB5Rikp
walk all over her for the rest of her life and she couldn’t live like that. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7xKWtzHyY
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx1aFS49DJ
No quicker than she finished her sentence, Alpha Harold threw his dinner plate69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGjje5mBi4
across the room and launched himself at her from across the table. Ivy did not69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiw9ImwT3U
have time to prepare a defence for herself as he threw her up, off the chair69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV5guB2sPS
and against the wall with his hand around her throat. Ivy mistook the weary man69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqPql6HHX3
at the end of the table. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S5hcHRWJZ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZigtNaU7lD
Pinned to the wall of the dining hall Ivy could smell his disgusting breath of69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPsPwdCWfW
decay with age, and she had to fight the urge to spit in his face. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwHS3Dgjsr
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGIbVTZqwJ
“You look at me you little bitch,” he spat.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn87cJXLoN
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa2oJJmhbC
Harold’s other hand forcefully directing Ivy’s face to his. She looked at him69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluTwEUWmEx
directly in his eyes and noticed that his wolf had taken over. This type of69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVttkPd5KGP
strength does not come from nowhere and his eyes were as black as they could69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGTrzFg36O
be. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ckU7c6OO
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5njvEZFxZU
“Mark my words, in a few days there will be a ceremony, I will gladly mark the69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrsYml6eQa
fuck out of you, and your little bitch wolf won’t even be able to block me out69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5xQ8HUn9k
then. You will be mine to do as I please. You will not leave your room until69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyruMzYCHP
this day, until the bond is formed so that I can always find you.”
His face was69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbde8iDdJs
bright red, and he started to sweat. As he talked, he pushed his hard69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP1mW8RSnl
erection into Ivy’s thigh, using the wall behind them as leverage as he started69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdITC1J5Z8s
to grind against her. Harold saw the horror in her eyes and sneered, “Oh I am69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8EdPht9wR
going to fuck you alright, until you can’t walk, just you wait little pretty.” 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX3NEFvX0L
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTrgAZMANd
In that moment his eyes flickered to dark brown, meaning Harold must have taken69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtjlkZaL6V
back control. He dropped Ivy to the ground and started to walk off. Ivy fell69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyf3Rp9cLl
with a thud and a whimper. She looked up and watched him adjust himself, sit down and69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSI50tBpTs
started to pile another plate of food as if nothing had just happened. Ivy69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ024Cx3mcP
started to wonder how his Luna passed, and if he was the one that killed her. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Ry0neV3a
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOsQuyqe9r
“JAMES!” he belted. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSGysfaA3M
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7QNrOkVLw
James crashed through the door, looking at the mess, looking towards his Alpha69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSSMTuBZm4
and realising that Ivy was not at the table. James took a moment to locate her69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYJIC5NDHm
on the floor and Ivy started to stand, he guided her gently out of the room. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdVoeajsIh
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe47QPaJZAI
As they reached the door to leave, Alpha Harold yells, “If you didn’t want me69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIx7Lks8Sc
to get mad and aroused my pretty, don’t wear a see-through gown to our first69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv6Rm1m7VI
meeting!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE1elsBiKI
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyFia62QoB
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1bUa50V9Q
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZNur3QdSY
The blood drained from69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCSk4ue3bC
Ivy’s face as she realised that she forgot to check herself in the mirror. His69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6kMihJhL5
Beta knew this whole time; hence the smirking and she felt so naked and69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9m5n2oVlK
embarrassed. She pushed past Harold’s Beta, ran for the room that was now her69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR4MIuX3Cf
jail to change, only to hear Harold’s sadistic laugh all the way up the stairs.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPJCe7zP9W
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0L58mVKkt
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrhY7PaLGx
Ivy heard the combat boots after her as she ran to the room, she had no time69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGLJVoH5GG
for him. She made it to the door and slammed it shut behind her. All the maids69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms876QQVU7
that served dinner, the Beta, HIM had assisted in her embarrassment. Ivy cursed69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSr65G931q
them all at their blatant disrespect for their future Luna. She felt the tears69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQt5VrRIsy
well up in her eyes as she stood in front of the wall length mirror to see how69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jWsKTfXna
‘see-through’ it really was. Her eyes were wide in her reflection as to what69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhseJQwxQDD
she saw looking back. Ivy could see the colour of her nipples and the shade of69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTV4FBZ9s5
her pubic hair. When she twisted her neck to the side, she could see the red69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sSN61WMyV
marks caused by her choking. There was relief that Catori assisted well with healing. She threw off the gown, still embarrassed at her failed69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrcirC4wvX
attempt of standing her ground. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C4uQX1KvU
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEDTsaJUrP
What could I possibly have achieved looking like that? Ivy took a deep69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yXrGtXVZL
breath and dabbed her face, urging herself not to cry to which she felt a69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJLybgChyF
softness come over her as Catori tried to comfort her. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevM88QSkC6
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo5aoYNDqa
“I tried to warn you, his wolf is so strong though Ivy, we are in grave69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nYyrrkh23
danger. We must escape.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzpkAEqRim
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S0zDKwGkp
“You just saw what he did, and so fast for an older man, an older wolf. We69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5eV9BJELN
have to be careful and precise.” 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMEe8DZJnv
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qNjEGMebt
“His Beta is still at the door, Ivy.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRvExu75l3
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg66lY0Zyru
“Try to reach his wolf and let me know if you can get anything from him.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkFCSB0xTt
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq42p8KLFaJ
Ivy flicked through the wardrobe of clothes that were placed in there for her,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYadMKbth5
and frustration consumed her as all of the gowns were of the same material. No69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcViOIVm2j9
matter what she wore to dinner, they would have all been see-through. Snide,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNDIQcVH3w
dirty, horny bastard, she thought. Giving up with the wardrobe she headed69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeqEIdsjqL
towards the dresser and opened the first draw, empty. The second one, empty. Finally,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQiMOY9G1Y
the third drawer, and the only thing in there was a tattered dress robe.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WbWSf4JsE
Holding it up to the light, it was certainly not see-through but not made for69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHXUHnZdfV
the coldness of the room. Ivy slipped it over her head and with the day’s69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUxfP3DgHC
events, gave a huge yawn, but her mind was reeling. She plunged into the soft,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQam0y2zsNA
huge bed and rugged up under the covers in hopes to feel some warmth. The bed was like a pillow, engulfing her and willing her to sleep. Before Ivy allowed69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2leNMhGsG
herself to succumb to the heaviness of her eyes, she tried to mind-link with69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiinOalGgkh
the Beta, James. He instantly felt the tug of Ivy trying and she wasn’t69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kjuNu3gIA
expecting a reply. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ981jE6pjAa
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmhkKSZr6A
“Yes?” he warned. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0t2rxtft7
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3LLpTX4bz
“Are you still outside my door?” Ivy asked. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs39sMgVvI
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9ChSaiex8
“Yes, Ivy. This is where I stay, to babysit.” 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS84c0k2ivL
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1L8UwfxgR
Ivy retreated by the annoyance in his tone. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4zdbS47nB
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke9QnvYqDL
“I’m sorry that you have to baby-sit,” she replied sarcastically, “But69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFDxEgaogo
thank you all the same.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbUtK5W3V5
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOUvGil2z6
Ivy knew that the man must have had a sense of humour somewhere in there.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxtY7fCkzU
Before she gave up trying to a reply, he retorted, “Tell your she-wolf to go to69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgEjYAn5CV
sleep, I need rest and so do you.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSevJdzSvjB
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhQnIV9cyx
There was a moments silence and Ivy looked up the ceiling and stared. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDm96OUzYE
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzESxsUgIN
“We can trust this man and his wolf.”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmT7PUVscl
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WtSQkmV1H
