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.

I have never felt, then I realize its fear. Not being able to help myself, fear overcomes me. I can't even let out a howl of desperation for help. I hear a woman's

in my own mind, trapped. Maybe this is what I deserve, especially because of what I did to my own mate. Maybe I

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

are dragging, I 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 handle it any longer. I hear Jenny screaming at the wolves that are
