The Ember In The Dark Ch. 39
I started heading out from the forest to the sidewalk again. I began my tretrously long walk to the pack house. About 10 minutes later I was stopped by an all too familiar motorcycle. "What are you doing?" Dex lifted the visor of his helmet, showing me his dark gray eyes again. I quickly looked away, not falling for that twice in a day. "Walking to the pack lands." I answered. "Isn't that really far to walk? Quit being stubborn and get on." He held an extra helmet out at me. I looked at it for a moment. I need to get home quickly, but do I want to ride a bike with him? I'm tired, and this walk would wipe me completely out. I let out an exasperated sigh, taking the helmet from him. I climbed onto the back of the motorcycle. This is my first time on a bike and I am kind of nervous. I may be able to heal, but it doesn't mean it won't hurt if I get injured. Bikes can be so dangerous. He started going and I was a bit scared. I grabbed onto the back of the bike, but it felt like I was

Toni's P.O.V.Here she was under me, in all her glory, telling me exactly what I longed to hear. "Yes. Claim me Toni. I'm all yours." Her sweet voice tickled into my ear. Reep howled inside me ready to sink his teeth into our mate and claim her as ours. Her wetness was now coating my d*ck from just being rubbed against it on the outside. I want to feel her from the inside. She was wet and ready, but what if this is her first time? I'm sure it is, but I've never been with a virgin. I don't want to hurt her. The need to have her is consuming me and I'm worried I won't be able to hold back and go slow. Goddess she's so fucking sexy. Her slim figure was toned with muscles I hadn't noticed before. She had a small infinity tattoo I had never seen before, on her hip. When did she get that? I licked her n*pple again wanting to hear her moan once more. I feel like I've waited all my life for this moment. She's my mate, mine alone. I'll claim her tonight and no one will be able to say othe

Ember's P.O.V.Holy fucking shit! We just did that. My heart raced remembering the intimate act that just occured on my bed. I brushed my hand over the mark that Toni placed on me. I could feel the bumps of his teeth mark. My broken heart seemed to be slowly mending with Toni. I let him claim me and now I'm forever tied with him. I sat here cursing the mate bond and hating it this afternoon and yet I was quick to give in to it tonight. There's only one person I want to talk to about this. I kicked our adjoining door open, trying to startle him. It worked because he shot out of his bed really fast. He looked at me and then around me, making sure there was no one chasing me or trying to hurt me. "You scared the shit out of me! What's wrong with you?" He sounded a little annoyed. I pushed my head back and tilted my head to the side to show him the mark. His eyes bugged out so far I thought they would pop out. He walked closer and looked at it carefully inspecting it for it's authentic

When the bell rang I rushed toward lunch ready to see Toni. I needed to feel his skin against my own again. I was almost running down the hall to get to him. I spotted him in the distance. His hair was pushed back out of his face in a kind of messy way. God he is so sexy. I pushed past people, feeling like I was going to die if I didn't get to him sooner. Toni noticed me when I bumped into a taller guy, who yelled watch it at me as I continued walking past him. His eyes held mine captive as he strode towards me. His arms wrapped around my waist tightly in the crowded cafeteria. I wrapped my arms around his neck, tucking my head into his neck and closing my eyes. I took a deep breath of his delicious scent. I could feel myself start to calm with every breath, feeling whole again. "You okay?" He whispered into my ear, after we had been hugging for a few minutes. People were staring and whispering, but I didn't care. "Yes, sorry. I just really needed to feel you against me." I blushe

"If you want to get back in time we need to go now." Dex reminded me. He had come out of the detention room shortly after Toni left, changing the date of our outing. He gave me the crimson kelp and everything. I took it from him and ingested some quickly, not wanting to be tricked. I don't want to go today. Knowing that Toni will be gone when I get back is really killing me. I was mad at Dex for changing the day without notice. He didn't apologize, just reminded me of our deal. I had sent Toni a text letting him know of the change. He won't read it until after practice and I know he won't be happy about it. I lied to Ash and told him I would be with Toni this evening and to cover for me. I told Toni what I told Ash too. Gotta cover my bases. I swore I would make it up to him whenever he got back from seeing his mom. I hope he's not too mad at me. I took the helmet from Dex, rolling my eyes at him. I grabbed onto him, but just barely. I tried to keep my distance. I don't want anyo

Dex's dad sat in front of us again with a small wooden box in his hand. The box was a dark wood with gold lining. In the center was a carved golden mermaid. It was actually a very beautiful box. "Here." He pushed it toward Dex, his face full of rage. Dex opened the box and looked inside. He rummaged through its contents, before quickly closing it. He looked seriously at his father again. "Where is it?" He asked him slightly accusatory. "Where's what?" He asked, he held a small smirk, very obviously lying. "Her pearl. It's not here." Dex was getting mad. I could hear it in his tone and see it in his eyes. "Oh no. Is it not there? What a shame." His dad smirked at him, as he reclined back in his seat. What a conniving dick. "Don't give me that. Where is it? You know it's rightfully mine." Dex's hand was in a fist beside him. He was too obviously upset and his dad seemed to like that. "I can't help what's lost." He shrugged his shoulders. "You're welcome to come look at home." D

Ash's P.O.V."Where's your sister Ash?" Mom's all knowing eyes caught mine. I just smiled at her and lied through my teeth with confidence."She's in the garden checking on the flowers for tomorrow." She looked at me a while longer, before she sighed in relief. She bought it. "Good. Let her know I need to speak with her when she gets back. I'm surprised you're not with her." She patted my cheek as she walked past me. She's always been so nurturing. I feel bad for mom. She wants nothing more than to have all her children happy and healthy, but Ember has made that hard. Mom knows Ember has been through hell, but Ember doesn't realize that mom has been through it with her. It's not my place to tell Ember how to feel about mom. I can nudge her toward opening up with mom more but it's always a fight with her. I'm just glad she told mom about her wolf and ability. I wasn't going to be able to keep that secret much longer. Honestly, lying here lately has seemed to become second hand na

Ember's P.O.V.It's never good when mom just randomly asks to speak to one of us. I wonder what she wants. I knocked on the door of her study, knowing she'd still be there. She's usually in there until 8 or so. It's only 7 now. Dex managed to get me back in time. He did manage to spring a quick hug on me unexpectedly. It's okay, because he didn't try anything. It was more like a grateful hug. I still have a lot of the crimson kelp left. Like a lot. I bet I have enough to go down and meet this infamous mother of Toni. "Come in." I heard mom's voice from behind the door. She sounded focused, and had a bit of monotone going. "Hey, Ash told me you wanted to talk?" I entered, closing the door behind me. She was reading, but when she noticed it was me she immediately stopped. She got up from her study and gave me a tight hug. "We need to talk about Ash." She told me looking me deep in the eyes. There was something there…worry? "Um okay. What's up?" This is either really important or
