The Ember In The Dark Ch. 67
Dex's P.O.V. She had showed up at my door asking for a favor. I didn't think it would be this kind of favor. I warned her. I checked with her many times. She wanted to do it. If I would have told her no she may have tried to get a siren song another way. I tried to hold back. It took everything in me to just keep my siren from entering her. I knew the moment the song stopped playing she would regret her choice. I just wanted to make sure she wouldn't regret it as much. If I would have entered her, she'd feel even more violated. Every moment of it keeps replaying in my head right now. She's so fucking beautiful. She's so damn sexy. Those moans and yells of pleasure will forever be engraved in my memory. She didn't realize it, but what my siren did was mark her as his. She will not be able to enter water without feeling me. She won't want any other siren. A guilt was washing over me as I watched her cry on my bed, dressed only in her underwear. She was feeling so much guilt right no

Ember's P.O.V.My alarm sounded and I bursted out of my bed more than ready. Today we will travel a while in the tree portal to get to the northern fairy kingdom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I tied my hair back in a tight high ponytail. I grabbed my bag, slinging it over my shoulder. I headed out, looking back at my adjoining door to Ash's room. I'll save you Ash, I promise. With determination set in my heart I left the palace. I reached the pack land a little early, but I found Dex already waiting. It was probably a bad idea to let him come, but I knew he could be useful to have. I know Toni said he had gotten some siren magic now, but he probably doesn't know how to use it well. At least not yet. Dex pushed off the tree he had been leaning on and made his way towards me. His hair was pushed back, his messy beach waves tucked to the back of his head. He gave me a large grin, showing me those pearly whites. I wasn't as afraid to look into his eyes here lately. I knew he

We stepped out of the portal to the most beautiful kingdom I have seen. It's regal just like my kingdom, only everything is gold and looks like it's been covered with fine specs of white glitter. Everything was so bright and shiny. The fairies flew about another us. Their crystal clear wings were outlined with gold and had small gold swirls in the center of each wing. Fairy dust rained down as they flew. That's what was making everything look like it was shining. That's why it's literally on everything here. It was constantly raining down from the sky. Some fairies were walking instead of flying, their wings tucked tightly against their backs. The women wore small gold tube dresses and little gold flats. The men wore white pants and golden long sleeve shirts with white shoes. Everyone looked dressed up and beautiful. This is the first time I've been able to clearly see a fairy. Their skin looked like it shone with small specs of glitter as well. I now know that is their fairy dust.

"Toni, please. I am so sorry. This isn't his fault." I pleaded, my voice thick with regret and concern. Toni held Dex by the collar. "No, Ember." He growled at me. "It isn't his fault. It's yours, but I can't hurt you." He snapped at me and it felt like a punch to my heart. He wanted to hurt me the way he was hurting Dex, but he knew he couldn't. If he would hit me it would be like he was hitting himself. He would feel all my pain that way. So instead he's taking all his aggression out on Dex. I hate seeing someone get pummeled. Dex wasn't even fighting back either. I can tell he knows how to fight, but for some reason he's not. "Please, stop. He isn't fighting back and you're going to end up seriously hurting him." I cautioned Toni. He let go of Dex and pushed him down to the floor. He turned his attention on me, causing me to freeze in fear. He looked so scary when he was mad. He marched his way towards me, grabbing my neck tightly. He brought his face right next to my ear, whis

"I'm going to take you right here, Ember." He whispered in my ear and I froze immediately."Toni.." I said his name breathlessly. His words turned me on immensely, but Dex was right there. There wasn't a separate room here. There was a round white bed with red pillows in the center back. This white sectional couch in the center of the room and then the bathroom to the right. There was a tv mounted to the wall and a large vanity dresser to the right near the bathroom. I mean we could at least go to the bathroom, but I don't think Toni has that in mind. His hand was already grazing up my inner thigh. He grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me down to his lips. He began to very passionately kiss me, erasing any ounce of resistance in me. I began to get lost in his touch… in his taste. I let my hands wander around his skin, eventually ending up in his hair. I grabbed fistfuls of his hair and pulled him even closer to me. Our lips were pressed tightly against one another. Toni's hand

Dex was waiting outside the bathroom door for me. He was leaning against the wall staring at the floor until I came out. He pushed off the wall and came to me so quick he was almost a blur. "Are you okay?" He placed his hands on my shoulders. His eyes bore holes into my face with how intently they were staring at me. "I'm fine." I shook his hands off my shoulders. "Don't worry about me.""Haven't I told you that I'll decide what I worry about. He was hurting you, Ember. He made you bleed." Dex sounded so concerned for me. I wonder if this brought up any dark memories for him. I sometimes forget he's grown up being abused. "I'm fine, Dex. Honestly. It healed. It's fine." I tried to smile at him. The pain I felt in my heart was making it hard to give him a sincere one. "It's not fine." Dex muttered. He was still really concerned, but anger was stirring in him. "I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise." He whispered sadly at me. I furrowed my brows, confused at his words. "I promised I

Dex froze in the doorway as if seeing us cuddled in bed together was the last thing he was expecting. "Well, that was quick." He sounded disappointed. Like I shouldn't have forgiven Toni already. "What?" I asked him stupidly. I knew it already. He was judging me. "Nothing, forget it." He waved his hands down at both of us with his head turned to the side. He went over to the couch and sat. All I could see was the back of his head, but I started to feel worry and depression deep inside me. Were these my emotions or am I starting to feel his? I don't know what to make of this mark. I don't know what it means for a werewolf to be marked by a siren. How does this play out? The only people I would think to ask would be Toni or Mom. I don't want to ask Toni because I don't want to upset him. I don't want to ask mom because I don't want her to know what Dex did. I also don't want her judging me for going to get the siren song unsupervised. 'This is stupid. She's not really mine. If she

I looked at Dex's outstretched arm unsure if I should take it or not. As I stared at it, I heard Toni's laughter. Anger rose in me. Why was he laughing if he's with her? I searched for them, seeing Toni smiling in a group of fairies with the Queen clinging to his arm for dear life. She was smiling up at him and my chest tightened with jealousy. Toni did something at that moment that had my blood boiling. He tucked a loose strand that had fallen out of her bun, back into place. What the actual fuck? Filled with a new found rage, I grabbed Dex's arm and followed him out. We passed by the group that Toni and the Queen were in and I heard Toni's low growl. I grinned, feeling a little triumphant. That feeling quickly faded as I saw Dex's face. "I'm not a plaything to make Toni jealous, Ember. If you want to spend time with me, then I'm all for it. If you just took my arm because you want to get back at Toni then find someone else." He deadpanned. Well damn. My face fell, feeling a little
