"How are you doing?" I heard Trent say when he walked in and I craned my neck toward his angle. A loud pop told me that I had done the wrong thing so I threw to exercise it eliciting a louder pop. He strode towards me with his bag in hand and I rose to get it from him. He moved it away slightly and I smiled. "Welcome. How was work today?" I inquired.He shrugged off his coat and I caught it before he fell. Since he was being chummy with me, I guess I had to reciprocate the gesture.Trent held out his hand and I placed my hand in his. "Good, I missed you though."My eyes widened at the confession. My heart palpitating in fear. My goodness, please don't tell me that this man is falling in love with me. This wouldn't turn out well."Okay... I... I think we should eat."He chuckled and shook his head, "You can simply say you missed me too. We both know that you have been bored out of your mind but you are still finding it difficult to admit it." He replied.I could play along and it woul

Ember's POVImmediately I saw him stalking toward me, and I maintained my position, pretending to be interested in the sands. It was very fun to watch him almost popping a vein.He couldn't brush me off and expect that I would accept him with all heartiness."What's the meaning of the stunt you just pulled in front of my subordinates?" He inquired and I shrugged calmly, happy that he was vibrating."Alpha Trent, I've not done anything wrong or something that you wouldn't do. I needed some fresh air and I came to get it surely that doesn't count as a crime right?" I asked sarcastically. We all knew that there wasn't one anywhere in the world, hence the reason for his annoyance."You defied your Alpha that's an offence punishable by law." "To make your children comfortable. I felt stifled in there, I needed some fresh air. Surely you would be considerate to the mother of your children right?" I added so that he'd be hurt the more. "You are one tricky person." "I dare say that I learne

Ember's POVChapter 33I glanced at Trent and discovered that he was frowning angrily. He didn't like his sister. Okay, it seemed as though there was more than met the eye."Good afternoon... You're welcome." I interjected and the siblings glared at me.I nodded, my bad. I guess I was not supposed to engage in their rivalry. "I'm sorry for intruding." I whispered and made a move to walk away only to be drawn back by Trent.Her gaze followed the action and she burst into laughter. "Oh, my goodness, don't tell me that you now have a wife?" She breathed as though it was a far-fetched concept. I guess she could never imagine that it would come true in this world and I stared at her waiting for her to be done with her mockery. Maybe then, we could know the reason she was here.Her gaze ran over me from head to toe and I kept staring at her likewise. She hummed, " She's not bad. the problem I have with this now is the fact that I cannot understand why someone would not be worried that their

Ember's POV"Get out of my house, I don't want to see you here, you had the guts to bring a bastard into my house?" Trent thundered and I winced. I knew the next thing that he was about to say so I quickly jumped into the conversation. It was one thing to scold someone. It was another thing to be vengeful while doing it. Elise stared at Sonia as if she was the worst sinner on earth. " I keep telling you all the time that certain people shouldn't be allowed into the premises because it's dangerous. How can you who know that you're a pauper, you have no one decide to fall pregnant?" She demanded."Can we be calm about the whole issue?" I butted in. This looked like sheer oppression but we weren't ready for this conversation. " I don't know what you are doing, can't we all see that the girl is exhausted?" Elise scoffed, " but she wasn't exhausted when she was raising her legs and moaning in pleasure." She snapped."That's too much information. We don't need that. Why are you acting lik

Ember's POVWhen we were heading back from the hospital, Trent and I were in utter silence. I stared at him occasionally to gauge his reaction but from what I saw I noticed that he was very furious and I didn't bother to say anything. His anger had to be assuaged when he wanted it to."Aren't you even in the least apologetic about the way you made me worry when there was actually nothing wrong with you?" He inquired and I stared at him softly. He was not going to let me live this down.When we arrived at the hospital the doctor confirmed that I was okay and just needed to take my medications causing him to be very wroth with me.I felt as though I got away with a lot of things because he kept considering that I was just a female who didn't know anything and I was happy about that. He didn't need to change it. "I'm sorry about that." "No, you're not sorry, you know what you did, so your apology is quite useless to me. Instead of me accepting your apology, I'd rather send her packing."
