She was woken before dawn by Leo, but she wasn’t ready to wake up, she was still exhausted. She groaned in protest when he started poking her cheek and swatted his hand away.
“Pssst!! Wake up, Cookie; we’re going to training.”
“Go away; Alpha said my training starts tomorrow.”
“Come on, Cookie; this will wake you up so well for our brunch.”
“Too early for brunch.” She groaned.
Suddenly the duvet was snatched from her and she growled in annoyance. “Up, up, Cookie. I want my little sis to train with me.” Leo chirped in a cheery voice.
“Most annoying big brother, ever!” She muttered and sat up groggily. “Alright, I’m up.”
“Awww! You accepted my adoption!” He all but squealed his excitement while he threw workout clothes on her bed next to her. &ldq

AshHe was keenly aware of Ember’s every action, even when he was busy with his own training. He was aware the moment she nodded off, cuddling her pillow like he wished she would do with him soon. But he was not about to push her into thing she was not comfortable with.When they were done with their training it took him giving a warning glare and a low growl at Leo who had been intent on picking her up. Leo pouted while he picked up his sweet mate who had overworked herself once again. It was clear that he would be more than just the peacekeeper with her; she didn’t know when to stop and rest.He gently picked her up and she unconsciously cuddled closer into him. He all but melted at how cute she was when she was unguarded. He was worried about what to expect when the king found out about her; he hoped he would not try to take her away from him. If he did he might actually go against the king; she was his ma

Of course, it could be that they wanted to keep it quiet, but he had a feeling that she was not a very popular person.After he had finished his planned meetings, he had settled into his hotel room and set to researching and planning. He took the time to research the Wood Creek Academy in detail. His position gave him many privileges and it came in handy.He had had his personal hacker working on getting information on everything he wanted, so he was busy reviewing it on his personal laptop. In his line of business, it was always good to have your own technology to keep business and pleasure separate.After he had done his research, he had changed into cheap jeans and hoody and left all his technology that could track him and rented a car under a fake name. He drove two towns away from the academy

EmberShe was still unable to decide how she felt about the fact that they had been doing their research on a baby and toddler website. It was funny and annoying realizing that they thought she had to be cared for like a toddler. But they were high school boys and she couldn’t really fault them for caring, even if it was a completely dumb way to do it. Their complete ignorance about humans was a little endearing; she had to admit that.She undid the crown braid when she stepped into the bathroom; she would have to wash her hair after that morning’s training. She had a feeling that today’s training was a taste of what was to come. She was nervous about that, since she had never been a particularly athletic person.“We’ll figure things out, don’t worry.” Lume offered with a smile.“It’s really strange having someone else in my head.” She a

AshLeo joined them with a satisfied smirk on his face while they waited in front of the pack house to meet their guests. The king’s car had already passed through the border and would be the first of their guests to arrive. Ember’s guardian was now at the border being admitted.“Where’s Ember?” He asked in a low voice.“She should be here any moment. I heard her come out of the bathroom just before I came down.” Leo grinned at him.“I just know you did something to annoy her again.” He answered, while staring at Leo with narrowed eyes.Oliver chuckled.“That’s nothing new; I’ve forgotten how many times you’ve all gotten into trouble because of him.” His father muttered with a hint of amusement in his tone.“I am the picture of innocence, Alpha.” Leo answered with a tone of dignity.

EmberShe felt overwhelmed with everyone looking at her the way they were. Beta Tom grinned and winked at her like he always did when they met, but she still clung to Ash’s hand like it was her lifeline.His touch soothed her and her wolf and she desperately needed some calm or she would be running and hiding in her temporary room where she could feel alone and safe. She was not in control of the situation and everyone’s attention on her was so uncomfortable it felt like her skin was prickling.Before Calum and Ilene could approach her, Luna Cindy suggested they head to the dining room where everyone could be comfortable; obviously she had sensed the tension in the air. It was perfect timing since Ember was about to run away with the king, the queen, Alpha Anson and Beta Tom staring at her like she was some kind of math problem to solve.Ember was grateful when the three guys stayed at her side and Ash didn’t seem to mi

Ember“Do you know why her father was murdered?” The king asked with interest.“We haven’t been able to find out much aside from that he was…” Alpha Anson hesitated and glanced at her with concern. “…Questioned extensively, before his death.” The inflection in his voice and the huskiness of his tone pointed at something that caused him some pain and Ember frowned in concentration.Did he mean tortured? Another echo in her memories, this one a little more tangible; painful screams. She remembered those in her nightmares; they were always in her nightmares.Alpha Anson cleared his throat and took a sip of his ice water before he continued. “We have reason to suspect that whoever killed him was looking for something, since the place was in shambles. Ember was dehydrated and weak when I came to hear of his death and insisted that they look for her.&nb

Alpha AnsonOnce the teenagers filed out of the formal dining room to give them some privacy, the atmosphere turned decidedly more serious. The younger generation might be next in line, but they were still too young to deal with all that had happened in their generation.“Alpha Anson, do you have any details on the murder of your brother?” The king asked with a frown of worry marring his brow. He was by far the oldest of them, but he carried his age well.“The authorities had deemed it a revenge killing and all but given up, Your Highness. But I’ve been doing my own investigations behind the scenes. Unfortunately with the state of my pack recently, I have been unable to continue with the investigation.”He nodded sagely. “I heard about your troubles with your ex-Luna. It is an embarrassment to any alpha or father to raise such a woman when he knew she would have a high status.&n

King RichardHonestly, he was still reeling from the fact that he had a niece, but both he and his wolf knew it the moment they saw the girl. Not only did she have her mother’s blue-gray eyes, but she also looked so much like her, except for her lighter hair color. Not to mention that she was busy trying to torture the future Gamma in a muddy puddle; that was exactly like his little sister.He would’ve been amused if he hadn’t been so thrown by the discovery that he had a niece and she was already pretty much grown. He had already missed so much of her life. Thankfully his Cordelia was helping him to stay calm and focused on everything that needed to be seen to, especially with all the information they were gleaning from her other uncle.He had to stay focused, even though he and his wolf just wanted to get to know the girl to see how much of her mother she had in her.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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
