    Chapter 91: ying with Fire


    Talon.


    I had always been unsure about Ivy being pregnant, but the moment Hale told us that Ivy was having


    twins through the link, I couldn’t be happier. It was a moment I had known wasing, but now that it


    was here, I was more than nervous.


    Was going to be a good dad? Would they end up liking me? “It’s good news, brother,” Damian said,


    pping me on the shoulder with a smile. “Yeah, it is,” I replied hesitantly. “Damian, can I ask you


    something?”


    “What’s that?” He said as he moved around the nursery, checking everything the contractors were doing.


    “Do you remember that old story that mother used to tell us about the great Bjorn?”


    Damian stopped in his tracks, looking over his shoulder at me with a smile. “Yeah, what about it? Have


    old fairy tales been crossing your mindtely?”


    “Shut up,” I groaned, rolling my eyes. “I’m being serious.” “So was I. I thought James was the sentimental


    one, and Hale was the nerdy one.”


    Damian’sughter andment caught me off guard, but as I narrowed my gaze, he knew I was being


    serious. I didn’t bring things up unless it was important, and right now, I needed him to focus.


    “What about it, Talon?” he finally sighed as he returned to what he was doing.


    “What if the story was more than a story? What if it was real history?” I asked, trying to remember the


    details of the story and how our mother used to tell it.


    “Don’t be ridiculous, Talon. It’s a kids’ story. Now focus, we have to get some of this s**t done,” he


    replied,pletely brushing off what I was telling him.


    Go figure, after all, Damian was a logical man, and if there wasn’t proof to back something up, he didn’t


    pay it attention. I wouldn’t consider that entirely good for an Alpha to think that way, but he had his


    brothers to help him.


    We were stronger because of our unique unity. “Fair enough. I’ll go down and see if the b***h has left


    yet.”


    Nodding his head at me, he kept himself preupied as I made my way down the stairs only toe


    face to face with James, Hale, and Ivy walking through the front door.


    Quickly, I rushed her and swept her off her feet, twirling her around in my arms while sheughed. “A boy


    and a girl.”


    “Yes, yes,” sheughed. “Put me down, Talon, or you’re going to make me sick.”


    “Sorry,” I said as I ced her on her feet and pulled her in, crashing my lips against hers. “I can’t help it.


    Seeing you pregnant is so damn tempting.”


    “Yeah, well, that will have to wait, brother,” Hale cut in, causing me to look at him.


    “Why? Are you still on that kick? I know what you said before, bute on now. Isn’t it supposed to help


    with easingbor or something like that?”


    Pinching the bridge of his nose, Hale groaned. “Yes, but she isn’t inbor. However, she could have the


    baby within the next four to six weeks.”


    “Oh,” I knew we had just talked about this, but having the doctor confirm it made it all that much more


    real. “Well, hopefully, one of our problems will be gone soon.”

    “She is still here?” Ivy snapped. “Why?”


    “She said that she had to pack and then argued with Damian, who told her fine but to hurry and leave.”


    The look that passed through Ivy’s eyes was one of displeasure. She wanted the woman gone now, and


    she wasn’t going to be told that she had to wait. Pushing past us all, she stormed her way towards the


    back door. And that only meant one thing.


    Ivy was going to go into turbo mode on this woman.


    “Ivy… Ivy, no,” James said, putting himself quickly in between her and the door. “I will go tell her for you.


    You remember what the doctor said. No stress.”


    “Move, James,” she snarled at him as her eyes changed. “No. Now, as your mate, I demand you go


    upstairs and take a nap now.”


    Never once in my life had I heard James use an almost decent Alpha tone, and the fact he just used it on


    Ivy was shocking. Hale and I nced at each other before looking back at them.


    Ivy stood with her fists clenched, and her brows narrowed, but slowly she rxed and rolled her eyes.


    “You’ll make sure she is gone by the time I wake up?”

    “Yes,” he squeaked before quickly clearing his throat. “Yes, I will make sure.”


    With a sly grin, she leaned forward, kissing him, and then smiled at Hale and me before she made her


    way towards the stairs, hoping to take a nap.


    “What the f**k was that?” Hale said as we nced from where Ivy was back to James.


    He looked absolutely pale as can be, but swallowing deeply, he straightened himself and ran his hand


    through his hair. “We pretend I didn’t just about s**t myself and that you watched me manly standpoint to


    her before going to handle a problem.”


    Turning, he didn’t wait for us toment and exited the back door on a mission. It took a moment for


    Hale and me to let what happened sink in, and as it did, we both burst intoughter.


    “I don’t think I have ever seen him like that.”


    Turning to Hale, I shook my head, ncing out the window at James, who was walking towards the


    cottage, but obviously talking to himself.


    “No kidding,” Hale replied. “You think he is trying to pump himself up for what he is about to do?” “Oh, no


    doubt. Fifty says the old broad doesn’t go out easily.”


    “Hell no, I’m not taking that bet. I have faith in James, but the woman is stubborn as hell. Let’s just hope


    he can get rid of her before Ivy gets back up again. I’d hate to see what would happen if she was still


    here.” Hale was right about one thing.


    It wouldn’t be good if the woman was still here when Ivy got up.


    Then again, part of me would entirely enjoy watching Ivypletely have a go at this woman. It would


    make for great entertainment.


    If this was how things were going to be from now on, I was looking forward to the future for sure. *********


    A few hourster, Ivy was refreshed and wide away with a hungry look in her eye. As she made her way


    into the kitchen, I looked up from theptop I was working on and watched her search the fridge for


    something.


    “Were you looking for something?” I asked her as she mmed the fridge door, and turned to me with a


    pout on her lips that I found incredibly sexy.


    “I’m hungry, and nothing in there looks good.” “What kind of hungry?” I asked her hesitantly. “Like you


    want a snack, or you’re hungry-hungry?” With a look of disgust, she rolled her eyes dramatically. “Why


    do you have to say it like that?”

    “Say what, like what?” I asked in confusion. “I’m just trying to figure out what kind of hungry you are, so I


    know what you want to eat.”


    “I know. I’m sorry.” Sitting down on the bar stool, she folded her arms on the counter and rested her chin


    on it. “I’m grumpy when I’m hungry.”


    “Oh, I can see that,” I replied with softughter. “Let’s see what I can find for you.”


    Before I could even get up from where I was sitting,motion from outside drew our attention to the


    front door. The sun was slowly setting off in the distance, and whoever it did not sound happy.


    Jumping to our feet, lvy and I made our way towards the door, opening it quickly. Out front stood James


    and the Elder arguing, and to top it off, Ivy’s mother had arrived with none other than the infamous Kate.


    “Who the f**k do you think you are?” Kate yelled at the woman. “Don’t you dare f*****g speak to him like


    that? If he told you to go, you need to pack your s**t and get one. It shouldn’t take this long for you to


    grasp the understanding of your assignment.”


    “My assignment?” Elder Harrison scoffed. “What pack are you with—”


    “Hey? What the hell is going on?” Ivy yelled, catching everyone’s attention. “I thought you were


    supposed to be gone?”


    The elder sneered at lvy, shaking her head. “And I thought you were supposed to be a Luna. I guess we


    both thought wrong.”


    A growl ripped through my throat at the woman’s words. However, I didn’t have a chance to do anything


    before Ivy’s mother had raised her hand and pped the woman in her face, stunning us all.“ Who the


    hell do you think you are talking to my daughter like that?!”


    Oh, s**t. I see where Ivy gets her attitude. “I will have you arrested by the council for what you just did!”


    The elder yelled. “This is treason!”


    “Treason?” Ivy said, stepping forth, her eyes shifting to their celestial blue. “If you haven’t noticed, but I


    don’t answer to thews of your world.”


    “Whoa, Ivy… let’s calm down just-”


    I tried to calm her, but her eyes snapped to me, and I knew what that meant. She was about to lose her


    s**t, and she was hungry. This wasn’t going to be good.


    ‘Damian, we have a serious problem, where the f**k are you.’ I said through our mind link. Thest thing


    I was aware of was that he had gone to the next town over for a meeting, and he didn’t exactly let


    anyone know when he would be back.


    ‘I’m on my way back. Why?’ he replied as I watched the tension grow as the women yelled at each other.


    All that was but Ivy.


    ‘The elder is about to lose her life because she won’t listen. ‘What are you talking about?’ he growled.


    ‘She left earlier.’ ‘Well, I take it she came back, and she has pissed Ivy off!


    Cutting off the link, I grabbed Ivy’s arm before she could step closer. The rage of emotions flowing from


    her through the link was like nothing that I had ever felt before.


    “Please just f*****g leave, now!”I roared at the elder, who stood quietly for a moment. “This isn’t over. If


    she can’t be controlled, then neither can her children.”


    That was the wrong thing to say, and as I held Ivy back, I watched the woman climb into her car and


    leave. Ivy fighting against me was hard to control, but James tried everything he could to calm her.


    “Ivy-” her mother said cautiously as my eyes snapped to her.


    “Not right now. Kate, take her mother into the house, and we will figure the arrangements out after we


    calm her down. Go… now.”


    Kate didn’t hesitate to do as I told her. She ushered Ivy’s mother into the house, and as she did Ivy


    slipped from my grasp and tossed James aside like it was nothing.


    This was a new side to her that none of us had ever seen, and as her eyes met mine, she growled.”


    She’s mine.”
