NovelEnglishThe next few days went by slowly, and as they did, I slowly followed further and further into the darkness, unable to bring myself up. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into with everything going on, but I had, without a doubt, the darkest of feelings. Every day not knowing if Damien was safe was a step puttingone step closer to completely losing myself, and the only thing holdinggrounded was the twins silently sleeping upstairs in their crib.
I was an utter mess. A complete disaster.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaking my way downstairs, I tried to push away the darkened thoughts evading my mind. Heading toward the kitchen, the indistinct murmurs of conversation drewto a complete stop as I turned and watched the many figures through the cracked-open doorway and Damian's office.
What the hell? "We have to tell her what's going on," James said softly as I watched him gaze towards Hale, whose back was towards me, staring out the window as if in deep thought.
"No," he replied firmly, letting out a heavy breath. "We all saw how she's changing, and you, James, of all people, saw first hand what Damian not being here is doing to her. Since she had the twins, she's completely different." Hale's response broke my heart just a little. He was never the one to keep information from me, and hearing him tell James not to includehurt. I didn't find myself to be completely different, and yet he was acting as if I was turning into skind of monster.
"This isn't right. It was delivered to the border for her. We need to let her see it." Talon all but growled, stepping forward, his fists clenched at his side. He was obviously angry, and I wanted to know more than anything what he was referring to.
What had been delivered at the border they didn't wantmade aware of? "It may have been delivered for her, but the thing is, I am the acting alpha right now, and I do not see it in her best interest to read this shit, Talon. It doesn't matter what they say, we cannot give in to their demands." Tired of listening to what they were talking about, I pushed back the anger threatening to lash out if they made one more comment about me. Its shadows twisted and rolled through my veins as if seeking an outlet. Pushing open the doorway, I stood there, watching as their eyes turned to me. Kate's face fell as she seemed to pale. I hadn't even realized she and Angel had made it back from the council land yet, but here she was, standing there with a grim expression on her face that spoke a million words without even saying anything.
"What is going on here?" I asked, narrowing my gaze as I stared at each of them. "We don't hide secrets, so somebody needs to start talking." "It's nothing, Ivy. Honestly, just sbullshit. Why don't you head back upstairs and get srest?" Hale replied as he turned towith a small smile, stuffing whatever paper it was into his back pocket, as if I wouldn't notice.

Before things get worse." My warning was clear. If there was something he was hiding from me, he would face my wrath, mate or not. "Ivy- ||
"No," I said firmly, clenching my fists at my side. "Don't you dare act like t you this towardsafter everything we had been through?
Stopping in his tracks, he stood staring atwith a grim expression across his face er seen never before: "This isn't up for discussion. My word is final."
When the hell did Hale decide he was going to act like this? I knew Damian had made him the acting alpha before he left, but m but that was no reason for Hale to let this go to his head.
"Don't you dare act like that towards me?" I growled. X
