She’d been spending the week agonizing over the perfect gift for Ember. She wanted her friend to see that she really did love her and that she really was sorry for what she had done. It was hard to get a gift, since she knew that girly things like make-up or clothes would never be something she’d want. She had her own taste in things and she was getting a whole wardrobe now.
But she wanted to give her something that she knew she could use and remember her when she did. Calum was helpful with ideas, but she was so afraid of buying the wrong thing that she kept changing her mind, much to his amusement.
Eventually when she was running out of time, she decided to settle for a mechanical keyboard, an upgrade on her microphone she used for her repair videos and some great smelling, natural herb shower gel and body cream set. But it didn’t stop her from worrying if she got the right things.
She just wanted th

LeoHe’d been drawn into conversations with other Gammas about security and protections, feeling safe in knowing that Ash would watch her with his overprotectiveness since he’d been marked. He’d been completely ornery since she had been swooped away that morning and he knew better than to irritate his future alpha after he was kept away from her for the whole day.He would still keep an eye on her every five minutes or so. One Gamma had gone into a heated discussion with another over the right procedure to use when attacked from multiple points and he had been forced to step in to break it up before they ruined Ember’s announcement ball.When he’d glanced around to check on Ember again, she’d been gone. He glanced around nervously, knowing that whoever was trying to get to her was most likely going to be here. But he didn’t spot her anywhere in the ballroom. He excused himself and made his w

EmberShe woke with a pounding headache situated around her left temple where she had been hit. Man, that guy had a right hook that she could only wish for! She was trying to be still to take in her surroundings, but she soon realized that she was alone.Slowly she inched her eyes open, but realized that she was still blinded by the purple haze caused by whatever he had sprayed in her face. Damn! She couldn’t do much to help herself if she was blind.“It’s wolfsbane, since white wolves are not susceptible to silver. Obviously he knew that with being so close to the king.” Lume supplied helpfully.Ember sat up and extended her hands around her to see if she could find something of value. It seemed she was lying on a large bed, judging from the scent the place had been recently cleaned. She kept feeling around her until her hand touched a wall.She decided to follow the

LeoHe wasn’t handling things well; he was blaming himself for not following her around everywhere like he usually does. But if he was handling things badly, then Ash was at the point of going feral. He had suddenly roared out his anger earlier that morning and it took them more than an hour to calm him down enough to explain that Ember had been slapped in the face.Of course, with him being marked he could feel some of her pain and a lot of her emotions, something which she could not sense with being unmarked by him. Personally, he thought Ash was handling things amazingly under the circumstances with all things considered. That being said, handling things amazingly with the current circumstances did not mean he was handling things well at all.His dad was barely keeping him sane with productive ways to help, also pushing Leo to do the same with keeping an eye on him. It didn’t help with the guilt and self-loathing or t
Claims to Ember Sixty One – Balor’s Obsession
NovaShe had to work hard to hide her shock and horror when she saw Balor walk into the house, which she’d been keeping up to standard for him, with the princess. Of course she knew what she looked like, since she looked so much like her mother. Nova had seen her mother when she had been held in the dungeons before she was brought to the house.When two years had passed and he hadn’t brought her daughter back, she’d hoped that she would be spared the horrible fate her mother had had. But it seemed that was not the case. She had had a plan to escape and completely implode this ring, but now her plans had to be pushed up significantly.She couldn’t allow him to torture the princess to her death like he had possibly done to her mother. And she wanted no one else to suffer at their hands ever again. She had spotted a male trying to find a way in one night while she had been staring out the window. Her

AshHe’d been barely holding on since Ember has been kidnapped, but he was so close to losing all control and going feral when he felt her being slapped. Somehow his father seemed to know how close he was to losing control and kept him within the palace walls with Leo babysitting him.Leo didn’t seem to be feeling much better than he was, so really it was the blind leading the blind at this point. It helped that he was doing something to feel like he was getting closer to finding Ember, but it still felt like they were impossibly far from finding her.Right now, they were going through CCTV footage in a bid to find the car that was still MIA. Somehow the bastard had disconnected the tracking device and he was in the wind. He had the horrible feeling that the bastard was just two steps ahead of them every time they found something.Cassius, or Cassie as everyone called him, was currently busy going through the burner pho
Claims to Ember Sixty Three – Planning a Mutiny
Ash“What do you mean you got a message about Ember?” His father asked with a raised eyebrow.“I got a message from an unknown number. It simply read that they knew where to find the princess and I should stand by for intel on how to take down the entire compound.” He answered, while selecting the image that was surprisingly still in his messages. Then he connected to the projector in the room and showed them the now clearly hand drawn blueprint that was pretty well done for something that was clearly done by hand.“What is this?” The king asked with interest.“I think this is the blue print for the compound that they mentioned. I think we should take this seriously, Your Highness.”“We don’t know if it’s a trap.” His father answered obstinately.“We also don’t know if it’s legit.” Ash answered.
Claims to Ember Sixty Four – Defiant
EmberShe had managed to take a shower, with Nova assisting her out of the evening gown and helping with the water settings and some clothes she could wear. Apparently the crazy wolf had already decided on her wardrobe and had filled it with “frilly nineteen fifties pinup dresses”, according to Nova’s descriptions.She was grateful that Nova was helping her, since she felt useless being blind. She had just finished brushing her teeth after getting dressed in a nightgown. Nova had given her the slip nightgown and told her it was the best she could do, since the others were meant to entice a male.That didn’t bode well for her future.She fumbled a little to find the right place to put the toothbrush down before she drank some water from the tap. “Incoming!” Lume warned a moment before the door unlocked and closed behind someone.The scent of Balor infiltrated the bathroom a m
Claims to Ember Sixty Five – Rage
AshHe woke with a roar of pain and rage when he felt Ember’s attack. He knew instantly that she was being beaten. He hated himself for giving that bastard enough time to steal his mate and he hated himself even more for failing her by not getting to her on time. What else did that bastard have in store for her?Once the pain subsided somewhat he knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep anymore and he left their room and went to the training field, there he took to beating out his frustrations on one of the heavy bags. The movement and the strain did nothing to soothe his ire and frustration, but it kept him from going completely feral at that moment, so it was something.He spun round when he heard someone approach and he found Leo walking to him, looking just as frustrated as he was. Without a word, he got into the ring and held his hand up, silently beckoning him to fight him. Ash did just that and together they fought

AshWalking hand in hand into the school the first morning back at the academy, he was amused to see the clear change in the students around them. Ember was still her happy self, chatting away on ideas with Nova and Charlotte. Apparently the three of them had decided to have their own corner in the lab and computer rooms.They had grand plans and he was sure no one was ready for it. Ember had picked up doing her repair videos, since her fan base had requested it. But now Nova and Charlotte would have their own videos on things as well. They took it in shifts now and it seemed like it had become their own side business.It hadn’t taken them long to start doing their videos after they had done an introduction of Charlotte and Nova. The living room in their pack suite now had a recording corner with a green screen behind it, but they kept it to everyday things like toasters, tricks to clean things faster and more effectively and even making your own products.It seemed very popular
Claims to Ember Eighty Nine – Sibling Rivalry
LeoHis life was awesome! First he found his baby sis that he always wanted and she was so adorable he could just pinch her cheeks all the time. Alright, there was the horrible part in the middle where she got kidnapped and beaten – he still thought that bastard Balor came off much too easy for everything he’d done – but then when they found her, she had his mate with her!He’s beautiful, amazing, strong and smart mate that was officially his moon and stars! But then his baby sis and best friend go off to complete their mating by getting laid and his baby sis actually bounced him to the ground! Like Tigger!She was all giddy and giggling and happy and…man, his friend had to have some good dick! Saying that to his friend earned him a slap behind the head. But only a half-hearted one, because who could be annoyed when Ember was home and so happy that her smile lit up the room and everyone fell that
Claims to Ember Eighty Eight – Change
AshHe would have never guessed the complete change in his mate during the weekend they spent at the cabin. If he hadn’t experienced it himself, he might not have believed it was possible. But then it could be the heat. Where before she had always been reserved and unsure about her role in his life, she now would just crawl into his lap when she needed affection.And she needed it a lot. He wasn’t complaining at all. It soothed him to know that she now felt safe enough with him that she would at random moments just crawl into his lap, where before she had always tried to keep some distance.He wasn’t sure if it was because of her heat or because she could now sense his emotions. Maybe it was because she was sure of his feelings for the first time. But she wasn’t as reserved as she had been and she was much less prone to shut herself down and focus on something she could do alone.Even the s

Ember*TW: Fun Times ahead, if you’re not interested, you can skip it without missing out on the story line*Everything seemed to happen at once and before she knew it, they were in his car speeding along a road with the airconditioning at full blast on her face. “We’re nearly there, Ember. I know your first heat is the worst, but I’m here with you and you just have to tell me what you want.” He soothed her, while he rested his hand on her thigh.Her skin seemed to sizzle and cool at the same time where he touched her and she craved more of his touch. It felt so good! “He’s ours, girl. Claim him!” Lume insisted when the car suddenly came to a stop.His hand left her thigh and she whined in complaint, but it seemed a moment and a lifetime later, he was reaching for her from the passenger side door.

Claims to Ember Eighty Six – Mating Ceremony
AshWhen she’d opened her eyes that morning and just stared into space, he’d thought for sure that she still couldn’t see, because her eyes had a purple tinge to the gray irises he had adored, turning her eyes almost violet.But then she met his gaze and his excitement had caused their room to be crowded with those who loved her. It was during all that celebration that his adorable mate finally understood that she did have a family; she wasn’t an orphan.The day would only get better, since they had a celebratory breakfast and the doctor finally cleared her for light training as long as she continued eating healthily. Thankfully they decided to do pamper treatments without taking her away from him again. In fact, Ember had insisted that she would not be separated from him that day.So she got a fresh manicure and pedicure while they were watching movies; in fact all the females spent the day with them and he would

EmberThe day she is meant to do the marking ceremony with Ash, she wakes to find him leaning over her expectantly like he did every morning since her return, waiting to see if she could see him properly.This morning she could see him clearly; his deep expressive hazel eyes, his unruly hair toppling over onto his brow and that handsome face that she had drooled over the first time her eyes had fallen on him. She was so relieved that she could finally see and so happy to have him back that she started sobbing.“Em-Baby, I’ve got you; it’ll get better…” He soothed, clutching her to his chest like he’d done every morning. She was sure with all her mixed emotions it was difficult for him to sense which one had brought her to tears.Honestly, she was nervous and scared about the marking ceremony, since her last one was still so fresh in her mind. Happy that she was blessed with such a supportive mat

AshDespite the fact that she couldn’t see well yet, she mentioned being able to make out shadows of people in the purple mist by the second day safe and sound in the palace, his amazing mate was helping to search for any information they could use in the trials for the males that currently filled all the cells in the palace dungeons.Ember had written a short program with his assistance of reading the information for her. What he found fascinating was that she knew exactly where the keys were on the keyboard. She pointed out that the F and the J both had a small mark on that one could feel with their fingertips, but it didn’t make it any less amazing that she knew all the keys by heart simply by finding those two keys.Calum and Ilene had also joined the others scouring through paperwork and arranging them according to the information that could be gleaned from them. Cassie was also impressed with the small program she had written that searched for certain key phrases that made the

CharlotteShe was still a little star struck being around so many important wolves. She was from a small pack that worked hard all the time to be seen; not that she was trying half as hard as her father was. Her brother would be taking over from their father when the time came, so she had been informed by her stepmother that they would try to find a good match for her, never once considering that she would want to be with her mate. Her stepmother was working so hard with her father to accomplish his dream to make the pack be seen that they didn’t care about her dreams. And that was why her father hadn’t even known about her creations and personal pass-times. She was amazed to meet the princess who was entirely down to earth if somewhat shy. The way her stepmother had read her demands when she had forced her to get dressed in that horrid pink gown, she would have thought that the royals would be condescending and aloof, but they were acting like normal wolves with normal lives.He

It broke him, knowing that he had been unable to protect her from it all.Calum laid his hand on his shoulder with a look of understanding. “You can’t protect us against everything, Dad.”“I should’ve protected her from this.”“None of us knew who to protect her from, but she’s safe now.” Calum insisted and he nodded, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that he should’ve been able to protect her. And what about the future; did they have any guarantees that someone else would not try to take her for her rank in the wolf kingdom and the Bane pack?After a short silence during which no one seemed willing to talk, the king finally cleared his throat. &l
