Ember’s POVIt was already glooming darkness when I looked outside and saw Trent making his way to my quarters, probably to tell me one thing or another.I felt him walk in as I sat before my dressing table combing out my thick hair and turned at the sound of him entering.“Lovely evening is it not?” I said in my usual soft voice and he smiled nodding his head.“Lovely evening it is…” he held back the next thing he wanted to say for a moment, I felt his lingering gaze on my body probably taking in the utter ethereal beauty of which I was.I smirked to myself, my own thoughts made me giggle.“If there's something you want to say you ought to say it now.” I finished brushing my hair and turned to face him.He was as charming as ever.“Well, I'm leaving the pack Ember. I'm going on an important journey and I need you to manage the pack while I'm gone. Can you do that for me?’ he asked in all earnesty looking at me.I gave a slight frown as my expressions changed whilst looking at him.“A
Ember’s POVI walked down the staircase wondering where everyone was, the whole atmosphere seemed damp and I wondered if there was an occasion I wasn’t informed about.I walked further to the dining table and I only found Elise there eating, with a very bright and delighted smile on her face. I was quite surprised to see Elise this happy.I didn’t mean it was anything wrong for her to be happy but normally she was with a frown, her temper never allowed her to be that overjoyed time:“Good morning Elise.” I greeted taking my seat directly in front of her on the dining table. She finally looked up at me even if she knew I was standing at the corner all this while.“Good morning Ember, how are you feeling? I hope you had a good night's rest?” She inquired still with her welcoming smile plastered on her face. “I must say I am very impressed with this attitude of yours. What’s making you so happy? It’s been a long while since I have seen you overjoyed, what good news?” I awake calmly. I
Ember’s POVI was busy arranging some of my clothes back into my wardrobe. I was looking for a particular cloth and it took me a while to find it. However, when I finally did, I already had a mess with all my clothes and I decided to arrange them myself. I didn’t want to bother Rose for anything because this was a mess I made myself. I didn’t believe how people here treated maids, especially Elise. They were people too and even if they were supposed to work, they deserved to be treated with respect. When insulted and revoked for no reason they start acting up. I never really saw the need for I’ll treat anyone just because one is above them. It was going to take a while for anyone here to understand that. Elise was just trying to be valid. She just wanted an obvious difference between her and the maids. And I didn’t know why she had a beef with Rose especially but I wasn’t planning on allowing her to ridicule her.My phone buzzed as I picked it up to check who it was calling me thi
Ember's POVI was sitting on the couch relaxing when I felt a vibration, followed by the familiar ringtone of my phone. I picked up the phone to see Trent's name appear on the screen.He was calling back 2 hours after the last phone call. I answered the call. "Hi love, it's me Trent," he said."I know it's you," I replied with a smile. "Are you still home?" Trent asked me."Of course I am still at home. Do you need anything?" I asked him curiously."Yeah I do. I'm having the accountant come over at the house sometime before noon and I want you to help me cross-check the financials when he gets there," Trent said."Okay sure, I will do that," I replied."Okay thank you so much," Trent answered. With that, the conversation ended. I sat back on the couch to continue my rest while waiting for the accountant to arrive. I was almost drifting to sleep when a maid came to inform me that the accountant was around. I picked up my phone to check the time so that it was only 11:00 a.m. The ac
Ember's POV I don’t waste another second and ring up Trent. Part of me was in disbelief at what I had just heard.The phone rang once, then twice and then he picked up.“Hello?” He asked.Almost out of breath from holding my breath for too long while waiting for him I heaved.“Trent, there is something wrong with the accounts,” I hurriedly said before he tried to end the call.I was certain he was in the middle of something important and I was unwanted company at the moment.He made a sound of annoyance and sighed.“What accounts and what is wrong?” He asked.I blanked. “I... I don’t know. We just checked and... Look, I swear, I don’t even understand how that is happening but whoever managed the account was managing it wrong, the figures don’t match but... look they’re...”He huffed. “Listen, I don’t have the time for...”“Just listen to her Trent,” Elise said, coming to my aid. I breathe out a sigh of relief.“Alright. What’s the issue?” He asked.Elise took the phone from me and re
Ember’s povThe sun's rays were what woke me up from my bed the next morning.I stood up and quickly showered, checked in the babies, fed them, and went downstairs to look around the pack house, making sure things were going fine.Trent was supposed to return any moment from now and I was giddy with excitement.I missed him with a passion.Done with the general rounds in the house, I went back to my room to nap a little.Not twenty minutes into napping, I sensed that Trent was in the house. Quickly, I ran downstairs and there he was in the middle of the living room, looking handsome as ever, talking to his beta.His eyes veered to where I stood on the staircase, staring at him and he smiled, walking toward me. I practically flew into his hands as he got nearer to me.“You are back!”“In the flesh my love,” he chuckled.“You are awfully happy to see me,” he noted as I refused to let go of him.“Of course I am, you’ve been gone a while,”“I’m sorry. The trip took longer than I thought,”
Ember’s pov“What is your biggest dream?” Trent asked me in the middle of shopping the next day.“To have a happy family,” I said with a sad smile. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.He nodded and said, “I’m working on it. Soon we’ll have that.,”I smiled at his thoughtfulness and squeezed his hands reassuringly. It was a sunny day and Trent and I were in the mall shopping for clothes, shoes, and bags.He’d come into my room this morning and told me to dress up and that we were going shopping. At first, I had stared at him, disoriented from being woken up from sleep but I had smiled up at him, excited by his sudden show of love.I had dressed up so fast and we had left so fucking fast too that I only caught my breath in the car.“These are all gorgeous,” I said excitedly as we entered a café in the mall. We had been shopping for almost three hours straight and Trent had asked me to pause for a bit so we could eat.Seated in the café, Trent called for a waitress and we both ordered fries an
Ember's POV“Do we have to do this?” I asked Trent a month later in a whiny voice. He was preparing to hold a ball in my honor. It was an annual ball he held for the pack and apparently this year, he was making it bigger than he usually did.He was inviting a lot of packs, their Alpha, and some of their elders. I wasn’t exactly up for it. I was not a fan of crowds but I didn’t have a choice. It was something Trent wanted and it was his way to introduce me to the pack and his friends from other packs.It made no sense to me but I didn’t want to make him cancel it on my behalf. Besides, it was the pack’s custom and tradition. I wasn’t about to get a sore thumb in all of this.“Yes, my love you have to,” Trent said. He’d just come to tell me that the seamstress was here to take my measurements.I scrunched up my nose and frowned before nodding reluctantly.“Fine, I’ll go.”I said, rolling my eyes. I didn’t understand why it had to be a designer seamstress. We could easily have just bough
