It had been a couple of days since the three suddenly blew into her life and dragged her to her room, and then never left. Surely she’d given them enough to have Mr. Waylon prosecuted? But they said they needed more, since the information they had could be disputed. She didn’t know what they intended to do with the information and they’d been tightlipped about it towards her.
And yet, she found them everywhere she went, including her dorm room, which now seemed to be their hangout, much to her chagrin. She didn’t know why they couldn’t hang out in their own dorm rooms. What was so interesting in hers?
They made her dorm room feel crowded, and Leo had started annoying her by moving her stuff around and laughing whenever she yelled at him to leave her stuff alone. It was like the annoying older brothers she’d seen in the pack. Ash kept staring at her like she was some kind of diffi

Ashton BaneAt the end of their training class, he felt this jab of urgency; the need to move and protect something. His step faltered, unsure what this feeling was and why he felt this sense of urgency to act when he had no idea why.He noticed Oliver and Leo falter in their steps as well and he looked at them in confusion. What was going on? His wolf was vibrating with the need to move and attack, but he wasn’t sure what was going on.Leo seemed jittery and more serious than they had seen him in a while; the hairs on his arms rose in a way that showed that his shift was not far off. “What class did Ember have while we had war training?” He asked in a voice raspy with the sense of his wolf just below the surface.Oliver was thoughtful for a moment, since he was the one that gathered intelligence. “Technology, I think.” He answered with a look of concentration on his face.

Claims to Ember Fifteen – Hungover Burrito
EmberThe first thing she became aware of was the pounding headache, followed shortly by her burning nose and throat and then nausea. And that was when she realized that she was wrapped up tightly.She kept her eyes closed and tried to keep her breathing steady in a bid to figure out where she was. It felt like she was lying on a bed and she could hear the faint movements of someone in the room. She was terrified of opening her eyes, to be honest.Next thing she knew the bed dipped and her hair was gently pushed away from her face. “Hey, Cookie. You’re okay, little sis. We found you just in time.” It was as if he had sensed her waking up and was trying to soothe the stress her body was under; she supposed he had scented the adrenaline and fear coming from her and probably heard her heartrate increase as well.Her relief to be away from that wolf that scared her was matched by her annoyance
Claims to Ember Sixteen - Negotiations Part One
Alpha AnsonHe had been held up longer than he had wanted to be; mostly because he was still busy fixing the fuck-ups that Bernadette had created with her greed and selfishness. He made sure that the whole pack knew that she would not be tolerated on this pack territory and started slowly correcting her years of stealing from the pack.He knew it would take a small fortune to correct the damage she had done. But he also knew that once everything was as they should be, they would all save money in the long run. She’d raised the rent for the family homes more than fifteen percent every year to fund her spending. Then she had cut budgets in running the pack properly as well. He had been a horrible alpha not to notice the damage she had been doing to his pack.Finally he had set one of the omegas to work on cataloging and researching prices on the bags, shoes and brand named clothes he had forced Bernadette to leave behind.

Alpha AnsonHe knew that Ember was very precise about her surroundings and nothing annoyed her more than someone touching her things and moving it around. He almost grinned with amusement when he saw her stomp her foot, crossing her arms over her chest when the guy by the couch stepped forward and gently guided her towards the couch and gently pushed her into the seat.He turned his attention back to the young alpha. “What do you mean by communication?” He asked; turning serious again, since he knew this had to be important.“We’ve been suspicious of Mr. Waylon and Ember was helping us to
Claims to Ember Seventeen - Failure
Alpha AnsonHe 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.

Claims to Ember Ninety – Back to Normal
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. Ember leaned into his arms
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
Claims to Ember Eighty Five – Family
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
Claims to Ember Eighty Four – In Limbo
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
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

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
