Ember's POVI was annoyed by Greg's stubbornness. I'd never seen someone so out of touch with reality but I made a decision that I wouldn't argue with him one bit. He needed someone to explain to him that he couldn't rule this pack. Maybe we would have to wait for his sister, Elise, to talk to him. Anyway, it was their family and I was ready to leave it to them however they pleased. I marched upstairs ignoring them completely. The headache had assaulted me again and I needed to rest. Taking a glance at my phone I discovered that it was almost eight p.m and I lay in bed slowly drifting into sleep. At midnight, the rumbles of my stomach woke me up and I immediately rose from the bed. Dry mouthed, I didn't waste time going downstairs, I headed straight to the kitchen and retrieved a bottle of water from the fridge. After that, I turned to the door ignoring my rumbling stomach.I heard the creaking sounds of the door and I peeped. it was none other than Greg trying to sneak in. Wasn't
Xander's POVYou're not even listening to me and I hate it. Why would you be making me feel as if I'm disturbing you?" Ellie thundered from the doorway, disrupting my attention.I stared at her in annoyance. She was fond of grating on my nerves. In my entire life I had never seen anyone who was so committed to making me annoyed. It seemed like that was her speciality. Always nagging profusely and I didn't want to say anything that would result in her crying profusely as though I had wronged her beyond measure."What is the problem this time?" I replied. She wouldn't allow me to have time for something else anymore. "Do you need anything?" I asked again."You're seeking a way to discard me stylishly. That isn't what marriage is all about." I sighed. I was about to be subjected to another bout of nagging. "Are you kidding me right now? This is unacceptable. I can't imagine what you just sit down and come up with. This nagging has to stop." I burst out angrily.The room went silent and
Xander's POV"What do you mean that my ship capsized at the edge of Trent's pack? That's impossible. It wasn't supposed to take that route.""Ehm... alpha Trent, we heard that someone had taken a detour but we don't know if it's willing or not though but we suspect that it was forceful. The issue now is that we can't confront him." My hands vibrated at the words. I didn't want a situation whereby one would have blood on his hands. Trent had done this no doubt, his reason, I didn't know. It was probably to get back at me for taking his girlfriend a few years ago."What the fuck? It better not be him because all hell would break loose. Well we can't know that yet unless we go to the site. Who called you? Are you there currently?" I asked. The man paused deeply. " Well, according to the information reaching me right now, I hear that the ship caught fire and people are jumping out." I paused too. This was not making any sense. A ship that capsized also caught fire. "Are you sure it's m
Xander's POVWhat the hell is going on here?" I asked warily as I walked down the stairs, seeing them standing with their throats close to each other. They were really on a roll and I wondered what caused this problem in the first place. " What is going on?" I repeated.Ellie suddenly stared at me and began to sob. I rolled my eyes and Grace followed suit. " She tried to kick me. I don't know what I did to her to deserve all of these harsh treatments. It's very annoying. She has been doing this for the longest time and I don't know what to do." She complained.I stared at Grace. It was evident that she didn't like Ellie but going as far as kicking her, that was a farce. " I don't believe that story. Tell me what really happened." She stared at me in horror but I didn't feel anything. I wasn't going to make her cause me to make the mistake I made by sending Ember away. It was one of the worst mistakes of my life though. " Tell me what happened." I repeated."I can't even believe this
Ember's POVI was not even worried about all the things that had happened in the last few days because I was just busy lounging around. I didn't know how the brothers managed to settle their disputes, I only knew that Greg had been living in the house with us but he was moody, refusing to talk to anyone and I couldn't care more. "I am going out today. I need to check out some boat or ship that was rumored to capsize in our waters close to the border." Trent said, while adjusting his collar. He looked good though.I didn't know that there was a sea around the pack area. "A sea right?" " Yeah, it's usually our port route. It's a major source of income too." " And a source of danger. Enemies could easily sail in from the port." Trent chuckled and kissed my forehead. " I don't understand you. How do you even come up with these things? We don't allow unusual movement. There are also guards stationed there who are more deadlier than these ones in my pack and they are focused unlike the
.Ember's POV"Angry? About what exactly I might add because I'm a bit lost right now and I'm thinking about another reply. You are just something else." I replied to her immediately. There was no reason why these men behave the stupid way they did except for the fact that people enabled them."Wait, it's not that serious love. I swear, it's not that serious. I was just thinking about it. I think he's as angry about his goods as he should be. He's not coming here to fight you or anything like that. Although my father would want that. Oh boy, I don't know what that man wants from us though." She muttered.I sighed in response. If Xander was planning to come try some shit with my new pack, I was more than ready to send him the hell away. It wouldn't cost me a second. "You were already worked up. I guess you're in love with this man now." She stated. An unobservant fellow wouldn't realize the amount of hurt in her tone. Probably because they didn't know her better but I saw through the
Ember's POVSurfing through the net seemed to be my best companion lately because it kept my sanity in check. Boredom was a disease that could even lead to depravity. How was I supposed to stay in this big house alone without talking to anyone for a whole week without losing my mind? Whenever Trent returned, he was already beat and didn't have the time to strike up a conversation with me. The two brothers were just polite to me and minded their business. Elise was a different ball game entirely. She was still keeping malice with me as if I was the one who made her brother take that irrational step. I wasn't in the mood to start begging someone to see things my way when there were other things I could do with my time. One of which was my newly found passion for knitting. I watched several videos about it and was confident in my abilities. I could do anything that I set my heart to do.I quickly switched off the light and adjusted on my side because it was getting very close to the du
Ember's POVMy business was beginning to kick off and I was very proud of myself. Trent was less concerned with whatever I did to occupy myself and it was beginning to piss me off. We had returned to being strangers like in the beginning of the marriage but if I was being sincere, I was able to think straight nowadays and my mind was working very fine. "Have you been able to set up the site?" I asked the man that Trent had referred to me and he chuckled. "Luna, it's not yet a week. We still need to testrun it and make sure that it can deliver and not break down when issues of orders arise." I knew that but I was still a bit antsy. " Yeah, I know but people have been reaching out. I need them to be able to get these orders as soon as possible." He smiled at me, obviously thinking that I was being hasty but it wasn't like that, I was just looking out for my business. Now that I had the traffic, it was better to leverage them.Trent walked in and sighed as he took a seat beside me, i
