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
Ember's POVI knocked on the door of the culprit while I was waiting to see what she was going to do. She couldn't do anything, at least with people around.Ellie poked her head out of the door and I smiled. It was show time and I was waiting to see how this would play out. It was going to be a great event which I will never forget.``I need to see you privately." I told her.Her eyes ran from head to toe and I waited to see what her reaction would be when I finally told her the reason I was here. She would flip a bottle but that was her business. I didn't have the time nor the energy to stomach anything that she might have planned. "So, tell me, why did you steal my jewelry last night? And before you start denying and making a fuss out of anything, nobody knows that you're the culprit except you tell them. So just head in quietly and bring it out for me and we'll forget that this conversation ever existed." I told her and she didn't say a word.
Ember's POVIf they had any bias against me, they knew better than to air it because they were going to be disgraced at the end of the day. All eyes were on me as I rose.I was smiling all through because I knew that it wasn't going to be easy for them for the next few hours before they left. All I needed was to have something that would help me with proving that Ellie was the culprit that stole my jewelry. I hoped that my threat was enough to make her run Helter skelter and return it. When I heard a knock on my door, I frowned. There was a reason why certain things happened the way they did. What the hell was the relationship between my ex-husband and I?I opened and shot him a bland look. "What are you doing here? Do you want me to scream that you're about to rape me? I bet you I would be so happy and I would play my part to the latter." Xander stared at me for a minute. "You've become dangerous. I wonder what caused the maliciousness
Ember's POVThat was enough to make me understand this was going to do more harm than good and the best thing that I should have done at this point in time was to make sure that I found a way of escaping before it was too late. Acting like I was mad at him was going to land me into serious trouble more than I ever expected and the best way to get out of this mess was to make sure that I overcame whatever it was that I was feeling inside of me. Now, I stared at him."I don't know what you're talking about but if you're trying to stir something up, please don't hesitate to state your concerns and not pass it under some shroud of concern or observation." I fired back. All of these were Xander's fault. Why the hell couldn't he just take his wife and get out of my space. Why the hell was he making it very difficult for me? It was annoying the hell out of me and I didn't even want to make sure that I didn't say anything because it could be brutal and Trent who was very astute for my likin
Ember's POV"To hell with you and your threats. I don't mind them. I don't mind whatever you may say or do. You don't have any right towards my children and that's final. Let's go ahead and tell Trent right now what you're saying and let's go ahead to have a DNA testing. It's just normal that you've fallen short and you're seeking a way to sneak into my life which is totally impossible. I don't know when and how you came up with that foolish idea but this is the real deal." He drew me closer to his side but I yanked my hands away. Who knew if this was a setup? " You will not have any contact with me out of the ordinary? I don't care to know who you're because you won't be getting them." He chuckled at my outbursts until I finally heard that there was something else that was getting me riled up all the time. Instead of thinking about the next available thing to do, he attempted to kiss me but I dodged at the last minute. That was my cue that I needed to leave. "I don't know what you
Ember's POVMy wolf had been edgy the whole morning so I decided not to come downstairs for breakfast. My peace was short-lived when I heard the footsteps of Sonia approaching my room. After my outburst, she had stylishly stayed away from me.She knocked on the door quietly and I paused, "Come in, Sonia."I replied. She pushed the door open swiftly and I smiled at her. She was obviously feeling very happy that I was a bit cheerful at least I pretended to because I didn't want to make the pack uncomfortable for her.My mind wandered to the side. "I don't want to dine with them. Tell the Alpha that I am a bit under the weather." I replied.She raised a brow and stared at me, her eyes assessing me from head to toe. "Are you sure that you're okay, ma'am?" She replied in concern.I shrugged. I was worried but that was none of her business. "Yeah, I am. I just need some time to breathe away from the usual routine. Tell me how your drawing is coming up? After they leave, we'll continue our m
Ember's POV"What connection does light have with darkness?" I asked her. She folded her arms."I know what you're trying to do but I assure you that it won't work because it's impossible to take my husband away from me." She whispered and I sighed. Some people were just plain stupid and didn't like seeing things the way they were."Whatever rocks your boat, dear Luna. The worst thing one can ever do to themselves is self-deception." I retorted and she stilled. "You know that both of you are merely flatmates. I don't think he even sees you." I replied and she glared at me. Well, that was her business,I really didn't care about whatever she wanted to do."You will not come to my pack and attempt to dictate what I should and shouldn't do. You won't do that at all. That's the last thing that I would take from you, so take your bossiness elsewhere where it would be appreciated. "Is it that you're afraid of having me around or what?" She replied and she stared at me but I didn't say a wor
Ember's POVOh my goodness, what have I done to myself?' I soliloquized and I paced my room. How could I allow Xander to have sex with me again? I was a betrayer and my heart condemned me already.Meanwhile, my wolf was having the time of her life enjoying and making sure that she didn't change a thing. "Why are you fussing over nothing?" She replied and I stilled.If I could see her personally, I would have made sure that she received some slap from me. What the hell was she on about? I had cheated on my husband. It was still tolerable when I hadn't gone physical with Xander.I just imagined what would happen if Trent found out. If he was going to forgive me for paternity fraud before, with this, I was sure that I had been condemned to the deep abyss. I was so weak and tired and I was feeling like something had left my soul. I didn't even want to talk about the way I was feeling very attached to Xander.This was a curse and it's sad that I was chosen to bear it. If I could turn back
