He felt even more like a failure when he drove away from the academy without Ember. He had failed her as a guardian if she had felt that she couldn’t be herself around him or tell him everything that had been done to her. He hadn’t even known that some of the pups had bullied her.
When he pulled to a stop in front of the pack house, there was a welcoming party waiting for Ember. Most of the household and garden staff, some guards were waiting, as well as Ilene and even Tom. There was a measure of excitement in their patience and he felt horrible, when he stepped out of the car alone and their faces fell at the realization that Ember was not with him.

EmberIt had been three weeks since Alpha Anson had agreed that she could finish the last few months she had left of schooling at the academy. She got twice weekly deliveries from Mrs. Thomas, the container was always heavy with treats and the three males from Bane pack always insisted on carrying it. But she suspected they were just as excited about the delivery as she was.Mrs. Thomas made the best treats, and she suspected she was sending so many treats because Alpha Anson had informed her of the three males hanging around her room all the time. The last thing she needed was them staying in her dorm because of the snacks. After all, feeding wild animals meant they’d always come back for more.

AshShe was late. She’s never late.He felt nervous and from the fidgeting Leo was doing, so was he. Oliver was scrolling through his phone, probably reading some article or doing research for something, but even he had a frown creasing his brow. That was the most he would do to show his discomfort to those who knew him; he was a master at a deadpan expression.Glancing at his watch, he noticed she was ten minutes late. Well, not late, but later than usual. They were usually at school pretty early, but she hadn’t shown up yet.

EmberWaking up, she felt strange, she felt claustrophobic, like the room she was in was too small. She realized she seemed to be in a pack hospital room, but she didn’t know this hospital. She could hear wolves walking around outside and the faint mutter of voices. She knew this was a pack hospital, since it was much more up to date than the one at River Ash and any she had seen off pack grounds.The lighting seemed too bright, but she was sure the migraine had made her eyes and ears extra sensitive. Sitting up, she found an IV in her arm and she frowned at it with confusion, the bag at the other end of the IV was empty.

EmberThe trio’s teasing was making her so angry, but for some reason she was doubly angry. As if there was another entity being angry with her, especially when Leo said she’d be an adorable puppy the size of a handbag dog. It always angered her when he called her tiny or small, but this time it was downright insulting!At that moment there was a sudden surge of rage that tore through her and shot out to every small cell in her body and she would have screamed at the sudden and overpowering agony that shot through her, but it was over so fast that all she could do was just lie there panting at the sudden release from pain and how entirely exhausted she was.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
Claims to Ember Eighty Three – Debriefing Part 3
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
