After the death of her parents at the hands of her Alpha, Ivy was taken in by a pack that didn’t want her. Her fate was left undecided until ‌her 18th birthday. Ivy expected the worst, thinking that she would be killed. Little did she know that death was the easy way out when her sentence was handed down and Fate intervened.
