Life After the Storm

IVAN'S POV

As I am leaving the woods from my encounter with Lily. I am in shock, wondering how the hell she survived that fall. All this time I was calling her weak, but I was so wrong. I hate myself even more now for treating her the way I did. Remembering When I touched her skin it felt like a delicate flower, so soft. I tried to snap out of my thoughts of thinking of her, it's distracting me as I am tripping over branches that are on the ground. Realizing that I have made the biggest mistake Underestimating my own mate.

I shift into my wolf and take off to the pack house. I need a distraction. From thinking of her it's making me crazy and craving more of her, I want to respect her and let her be free. Even though I'm not going to be able to let her free for long. I am hoping now more than ever that Jenny finds a way out of this marriage.

Not really sure how she is going to do it, but I'm looking forward to it. If she can get out of it, then I will be able to be happy with my mate. I know that I will have a lot to make up for gaining her trust, knowing it will be all worth it in the end. She will be mine eventually, it just takes time, but am I going to be able to wait to get the satisfaction that she gives me for long.

Now that my wolf knows that she is alive, I can feel his power coming back to me more. Not that I was weak before, but now I feel invincible. I know that he wants his mate, I do too, but I messed that up. I will get her back no matter what. I just have to figure out how. I can feel my body ache for her, wanting to be close to her. I have never felt this for anybody that I have ever encountered.

I always thought that this whole mate thing was bullshit, that it was all an act. Now I realize that I was the one who was full of shit somehow I hid my feelings for her so deep inside me, I made them non-existing. What a fool I am Realizing now that power is not worth losing your mate. 

nighttime is coming, I reach the pack house and go straight to my room. I don't want to shower, I crave her scent to be near me. As it sends

hard, I begin to stroke it, thinking of her perfect breast as I sucked on her

to work on some of my leftover work I had lifted from the other day. God, she is so distracting why can't I just forget about

the noise, I shift into my human, not wanting to scare the child with my wolf. Then

Not being able to help myself, fear overcomes me. I can't even let

Ivan you're right there was no plan that I could come up with to escape you. So, instead, I came up with a plan to

what I did to my own mate. Maybe I deserve to suffer just the way I made her suffer. Realizing that Jenny was never going anywhere, that she was watching

I wondered if her and Lily were working together to kill me. I don't blame Lily for wanting to kill me. Sorrow takes over me, thinking that she hates me so much that she would want me dead. Knowing I can't blame her for her feelings, but wishing

me, I try to prepare myself for what is about to come. As they shift into their wolves. I know my end is here as they attack. I feel every bit of their canines tear through my flesh. All I see is my blood covering their mouths.

accept that this is it. Regretting decisions that I made, wishing I could make it up to the people I hurt. As they throw my body against the tree, I can't help but want to be dead, not wanting to feel the pain that is overcoming my entire body. As they begin to hold my body against the tree they tie a rope as it's getting tighter and tighter I can't
