Author's POV Ellie finally arrived home and looked at the mansion that she never had joy in for one day. She dreaded stepping back into this place until she had made sure that all plans had been executed. There was an anger in her eyes as she watched some maids walk toward her to probably get her back from her. She knew that it wasn't willing so there was no need for her to waste her breath on their greeting. She strode into the house and ignored everyone who greeted her. "Where is the Alpha?" She inquired from the head maid, Eloise, who was a bit worried about her attitude. Ellie wasn't the best conversationalist but it seemed like something was different about her when she returned. It was as though she was possessed by a certain aura that she couldn't place her fingers on. It only made her very curious. "I don't know... But I think that he should be in his study. He's been holed up in there for the longest time now, ma'am." Ellie didn't bother to acknowledge them anymore, i
Author's POVA bit of sprinkle here and and there made a little ocean and that was what Ellie was doing. Her plans started out slowly, almost as if she was naive and dumb, that was her plan all along because it would help her be able to carry out what she originally had in mind. It wasn't going to be easy given the fact that a lot of people thought that she was senseless but she was going to find a way to make it work.That made her begin her day with going to visit her father before the cock crowed. She needed no interrogation from the guards because she was the Luna in question. "Dad, I am here because you promised that I would be able to find a solution, so where is it?" Her father gestured to a seat but she refused. She was working with time so if it didn't clock in at the expected time she wasn't going to remain here waiting for an irresponsible person to carry out her assignment for her."Daddy, I came here before anyone was up. I need to leave before they can finally wake up.
Xander's POVThe moment I saw Ellie approaching, I felt disgust well up inside of me. It was almost as though she had washed herself in mud. The feeling was unexplainable. It wasn't as if I liked her in the first place but this was more of disgust. There was nothing wrong in her moving around since I was the one who allowed it in the first place but right now, I felt like she just had to leave no matter what my father said. She smiled when she crossed the threshold and I stared at her blankly, there was no way that I was going to take her seriously. She could try to do all she could but all that I could feel for her was resentment. "You look stressed, do you need anything?" She offered but I shook my head and that was me being polite. "I brought tea for you since I heard that you skipped breakfast." She said, I stared at her for a second and returned my focus to my books. "Are you mad at me? I know that we might have begun our relationship on a rocky begining but we can still mak
Ember's POVI groaned softly, making a little turn around the bed, but I didn't feel anything. My hands went further to feel his chest, but the only thing I felt was the soft pillow close to me.That was weird because today was weekend that we had promised to spend together.As a result of this, I opened my eyes slowly, fluttering my brows twice to get a clearer vision of the room, only to realize that Xander was no longer beside me"Morning love”I heard the sweet and seductive voice of Xander, and it immediately made a smile curve up my lips. Raising the pillow closer to me, I rested it against my chin and continued to stare at Xander."You're up so early? You promised you'd stay with me today." I pouted.He chuckled slightly, "You look so cute when you do that” walking closer to me and held my chin. What I felt next was his soft lips on mine, greedily I held it and sucked on his lips while stylishly trying to lure him back to bed."I'm sorry baby, but I'd have to break that promise

Ember’s POV“Since this has been all you have wanted to do throughout the weak and even going weak to bring Grace here to plead your case, let me hear it” I scornfully began.“Baby…”“Your time starts now and you have just 15 minutes to give me a reason valid enough to explain why I saw you with that woman and why she is pregnant for you too!”.Still on his knees, with tears rolling down his eyes he continued pleading for forgiveness.“I never cheated intentionally, I just didn’t know how to come clean to you about it, I was ashamed of myself and our vows that I failed to keep”.“A mistake you say or it only became one when she became pregnant?”“Tell me Xander, What part of it was a mistake, the part where you poured your seeds into another woman or the part where she got pregnant and your secret had to be out!”“It’s not that, Babe…”“Lecture me!”“I just didn’t know how to tell you, Ember…I thought I was doing the right thing by keeping it away from you so I spent nights…”“I knew
