Oliver
The morning after they had met Grizelda, who he had spent the afternoon researching, Ember and Ash came out of their room a little later than usual. Ember seemed shy and embarrassed and Ash looked decidedly happy with himself. Leo didn’t even notice the change in them; he was just being his usual happy self, more so now that he was happy with adopting his own personal baby sister.
So when they started their morning run for warm-ups, Oliver simply needed to know. “Care to share why you look like the cat that got the cream?” He asked in mind link.
“What does that even mean?” Ash asked in confusion. Alright, maybe he’d taken the human research a little far, but the cat idioms were so cool when they couldn’t come near cats without them fleeing in terror.
“It means you look decidedly pleased with yourself and Ember seems very shy this morning.&rdquo
AshIt was amazing the amount of training his mate had soaked up in the week leading up to her birthday. She learned very quickly, but she was always exhausted by the end of the day, especially since she had been told to wear heels everywhere to get used to walking in them. He’d resorted to massaging her feet in the afternoons when they tried to relax while watching movies or playing games and in the evenings when they went to their room.She even kicked Leo’s ass in the games they played on the console and Leo’s reaction had been priceless, since he had always been the best between the three of them. After that he would challenge her daily on every game conceivable, trying to win against her. He was never successful. Turns out his mate was also an avid gamer and didn’t just repair random objects for her old pack.The morning of her birthday dawned and he was so excited to give her the gift he had got specifi
LeoHe was ecstatic when Ember gave him a grateful hug for her gift and when she came out of her room after their training, she was wearing the T-shirt he had gifted her. He couldn’t stop the grin splitting his face. Oliver took a picture of the two of them in their shirts and he changed it to his background before sending it to his parents.His mother reacted with several laughing emoji’s and his father just sent the emoji with the rolling eyes. Well, his dad had absolutely no sense of humor about his new adopted daughter that he found out about from his mother after her first shift! He would just have to get used to the idea.They joined the king and queen for breakfast, along with Grizelda, who was cackling the moment she saw their shirts; she was always such fun. She had pointed him towards these shirts; did she really think he wouldn’t get them? The queen tittered and the king rolled his eyes, but a smal
EmberNot long after dinner, Ember found the two witches at her door; both grinning with excitement. Ash had been pouting since he found out they’d be naked, something she hadn’t known either and she was having some real doubts about the whole ceremony now.Both of the women were in silk dressing gowns and, judging from the way they hung on them, there was nothing underneath. “Why aren’t you ready, sweetheart?” The queen asked with a soothing smile.“I mean…do I have to be naked?” She asked in a small voice.“She changes in a shed, Your Highness; I don’t think she’s ready to be naked out in the open.” Ash answered for her, when he came up behind her, resting his hand on the small of her back in a soothing gesture.Grizelda cackled her amusement. “Your parents would be so proud of you, darling!”The queen grinned with her o
Ash*TW: Mention of the sexual acts*He didn’t know what they’d done during the moon dance, but the queen had sent a warrior to bring him to the clearing, where he found Ember lying on the clover and staring at the stars like she was in a daze.When he touched her, she gave him a loopy grin and then did something he would’ve never expected from her. She started kissing him with a hunger he couldn’t refuse if he wanted to. And then she went straight to third base, her hips moving seductively along the ridge of his hard cock while he held her helplessly in his arms. He wasn’t sure what to do, but he was delirious with lust, which she had caused, by not only looking amazingly sexy in the purple lingerie set, but riding him to her own completion.He couldn’t hold back his own release if he wanted to; even less when she proceeded to mark him during her own orgasm, thus extending his o
OliverMary, the seamstress, and the two witches had whisked Ember away just after breakfast with all the other females in Ember’s life, despite Ash’s consternation. The king had smiled at his dismay with amusement and told him they would all have to wait for their mate’s to get ready for the ball. But it was just after breakfast; what could they possibly need to do to start getting ready in the morning?Ash was fidgety and impatient the whole day, pacing the cinema where they had decided to watch a movie. Leo was tapping away at his phone, sending constant texts to Ember’s phone for answers; then he’d snicker and tell them her answers. Ember seemed pretty impatient and unsure about the whole thing.Leo snickered. “She says they’re wrapping them all up like burritos in dark slimy stuff….” His phone dinged and he broke into laughter so hard that Oliver had to take his phone
EmberShe’d spent the whole day with the other women; it was strange and she wasn’t sure how she felt about it. Not being around the women, but what they considered pampering. Why was plucking at her eyebrows considered pampering? It hurt!!And then they went on to cover her eyebrows and lashes in this weird gunk and she had to lie there with her eyes closed or it would burn. Apparently that was called tinting her lashes and eyebrows.She was startled when someone suddenly took her hand and she squeaked in shock. Ilene giggled on the bed next to her. “You’ll get used to it, Ember. This is such fun!” She reassured her.Ember was still on the fence with this. Turns out they gave her a manicure, once the gunk was cleaned off, she got the choice of which color she wanted on her nails. Then they were moved to really comfortable chairs and their feet were soaked, then scru
IleneShe’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
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
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
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. Ember leaned into his arms
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
Alpha AnsonWatching his little girl grieving for yet another thing that was taken from her, broke his heart and he wished he could shield her from the pain she was currently feeling. 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
