Ember's POV"Don't do this to me!" She said as I kept on walking and I smiled at her. She was at fault but she was thinking that she would go scot-free. Well there was nothing like that and I was still wondering how she was going to navigate her journey out of this place. "Didn't you say that you have lots of people that would help you carry out your plans?" I asked her and raised a brow at her. There was something that she was not saying. " Don't let them kill me." She pleaded. I was laughing hysterically at this point, but I knew that she was a liar and probably had someone in mind and she was thinking that she was going to play me."Tell me why should I let you go?" I repliedShe was angry but didn't say anything instantly. " I know that you are saying this just to make sure that I will let you go." "Do you want me to die? I thought you said that you were different from me?" She replied and I laughed at her like a maniac and she stared at me. "You shouldn't be taking this too li
Ember's POV"Luna, she's resisting to be killed and shouting that you're the one who deserves to be killed." Wilson informed me.I think I needed to go back to the dungeon and find a way around with that girl. She has become stupid. It was my fault for even allowing her to have some peace of mind in the first place but never would I say anything about it."I told you so." Trent replied, he was still on the phone with me. I was sure he was busy laughing his ass off because of the problem. "Now don't go anywhere to meet her. That lady is a manipulative bitch, doing that would only be digging your grave. If she has allies truly then they'd be anticipating that move."His reasoning made sense and I sighed."I told you to shoot her, why is she still alive?" I asked Wilson. "Or are you a part of her ally? Tell me so that I know what I'm looking at." I responded.He shook his head, but wore a conflicted emotion. This was strange because the Wilson I knew would have rushed to do what I said wi
Xander's POVI sat down in the office, a little jaded even before I began working. The stack of files in front of me almost made me want to just step out and have a drink. However I had no choice than to complete my work. The silence in the room helped with my focus, my thoughts didn't wander away since there were no sounds to distract it. Although, most of the time, being a werewolf; an alpha at that, it was quite difficult to concentrate. My senses would sometimes pick up things that were far away from it just because the wind is with them. However, control was the key factor in a wolf's strength and I have learnt that the hard way multiple times. My innate character does not amount to much control. I flipped through the second batch of files, signing and balancing what is needed. I exhaled after a while and decided to rest against the back of my chair. It was a difficult job running an entire pack, but I was the fittest to get the job done. While I was relaxing, my senses picked
Ellie's POVI stormed out of his room angrily, my entire emotions swirling against each other. I walked forward, ignoring every focus, my entire being was so furious. I took the corridor that led to my room, pushed open the door in anger and I was about to enter when my cloth got entangled with the door handle.I tried forcing my way in but it drew me back. I angrily pulled it out, tearing the arm of the cloth in the process while I slammed the door and gave it a kick. I was so enraged and the entire scene that unfolded now frustrated me the most. I laid my back against the door and slowly slid downwards as I found myself sitting down on the floor and crying to myself. I felt as if everything I had worked for was about to get upside down. I cried for a while, devoiding myself of thoughts just allowing the primal hatred and sadness to grip me. After a while I decided to give myself a bit of focus. I remembered how the scene had unfolded with Xander. How I'd explained everything to him
Xander's PovA sigh escaped my mouth as I unconsciously stared at the wall clock, counting the hours and minutes that passed by. I was certain I was simply waiting for something interesting to happen and there came a light knock on my door.Knock…knock..knock.A smirk formed on my face as I stood, wondering who might be disrupting my peace oh so early in the day, “Who can that be?” I thought to myself. There was only one person who had the guts to act this way with me and I sighed when before turning. I graced forward and slowly unwound the knob on the door until a little creek that I was able to peer through was created.That pink floral dress was irreplaceable in my mind as I looked into my sister's eyes. It was but a minute later she jarred the door open and stormed inside pushing me backwards. She wouldn't be the death of me. Grace was always like that, but an expression of skepticism formed on my face as I watched her look frantically around the room.“Where's Ellie, Xander?” Sh
Ember's PovThe day had finally come for the big celebration! Something both I and Trent had worked so hard for. I was glad he wanted to have a big party to celebrate our babies.He had gone through so much to get to the point he was now and I was honestly so proud of him.All the decorations were already placed around the house. The ribbons were beautiful in its bright pink and blue colors representing our babie's genders snuggled at every corner of the house. Balloons of gold hanging from the ceilings as the smell of freshly cooked food and pastries filled the house that was cleaned spotless.We began to welcome guests not too long after dawn broke, a few helping out to set the tables and other preperatries that were left.There were still a number of tables outside on the porch that hadn't been dressed yet and I wanted to specially take care of each one myself.An inexplicable joy bubbled in my heart as I saw the number of dignitaries and more guests gathered up outside by the door
Ember's POV I stood at the balcony watching the scenery. The celebration had extended to the middle of the night and I was waiting for them to end it. Men were busy drinking, while women were dancing. It was almost a carnival. I was tired, yet my heart was also racing as fast as possible. I wondered what would have happened if I didn't leave at the time that I did. How dare he tell me that he was going to collect the kids? This was going to be the end of me.I would fight him tooth and nail to make sure that my kids remained by my side, he could go to hell for all I cared and I meant it. It was not going to be easy but I would make sure of it. The door opened and Trent walked in. He was smiling and I tried to reciprocate but I failed. I was thinking about what to say but I didn't say anything.He stared at me for a minute, "why are you hiding out here?" I shrugged and put up a smile for him. " You don't think that there's a problem? Why did you invite your arch nemesis?" I asked h
Ember's POVWhen we returned from the factory, Trent was pissed and I was feeling very sorry for him. It wasn't easy to have something stop the flow of income into one's life. It was annoying. I trailed carefully behind him and was waiting to see what he would do. It was obvious that he was angry beyond measure and I was thinking about what I wanted to do.It was my business that got destroyed. It was weird that I had a feeling that the man wasn't the culprit but I didn't know how to prove it.For someone who was already doubting my words, throwing into this mix was only going to compound the problem.Our maids were running Helter skelter trying to make sure that food was ready for breakfast but if I had my way, I'd send all the Alphas away. I didn't want to have anything to do with that man. His presence unnerved me especially because I knew what he was up to."I'll be in the kitchen." I announced so that he'd not search for me. "Sonia,lead the way." I told her and she nodded. When
