Chapter 87: Hunger Pains

Damian.

Falling asleep next to lvy is one of the most incredible feelings I had ever been able to be a part of. I wasn’t the greatest of men. In fact, I was the type of man that didn’t even deserve a girl like Ivy

Thad messed up big time with her.

I had treated her wrong and deserved every bit of pun ishment that had come my way because of my actions. I never intended to hurt her the way I did.

In a sick way, I thought I was saving her.

 

But we all realized that was not the case in the end.

Soft movements within the bed stirred me awake and, fluttering my eyes open, I saw Ivy tossing and turning calm ly. Without warning, she suddenly sat upright.

“Ivy, are you OK?” I asked sleepily as I watched her eyes cast towards me and realized the woman sitting before me was slightly different from before.

She said nothing as her celestial orbs stared at me. In stead, what she did was slide from the bed in her white nightgown and move toward the bedroom door.

“Ivy, where are you going?” I whispered loudly, but still, there was no response from her. Instead, she opened the door and moved through it, quickly heading down the hall way towards the stairs.

Jumping from the bed, I moved towards the door in nothing but my boxers. “Ivy!”

Shouting down the hall after her, she continued what ever mission she was doing without even acknowledging the fact I was speaking to her. The old me would have been angry by the way she was acting, but given the circum stance of everything going on, I knew this was something else.

Popping his head out of his bedroom door, Talon stared at me with confusion. “Damien, what’s going on?”

“I don’t know. Ivy just jolted from bed, got out, and made her way down the hallway. I’ll follow… something is

definitely up.”

Moving quickly, I took the stairs two at a time until my feet hit the floor-Talon right behind me.

For a pregnant woman, she moved fast, and as we made our wathrough the house towards the open back door. I had to stop and search the grounds in the darkness to see where she went.

After a moment, I spotted her by the treeline, and with haste, Talon and I ran across the grassy lawn towards where she was. As soon as I reached her, I grabbed her arm, stopping her in her tracks.

I wasn’t sure what she was going to do, but with a quick reaction, she turned to me with those celestial orbs and growled. “Do not interfere.”

Her words were a warning; with them, I looked to Talon with utter disbelief as my lips parted and my mouth dropped, trying to understand what had just happened.

“Did she just use her alpha tone on you?” Talon asked, causing me to growat him in warning he should never bring this up again.
