Ulric
We fled the castle as I pulled Lark behind me. We took nothing with us, which was probably a mistake, but we needed to get out of here. I ran quickly through the city trying to get her out of harm's way. Who knows what happened after the battle ended and if there were people now after me? I had been a big part of so many deaths and cities falling. I had a lot of blood on my hands.
As we passed through the city, I noticed that it was completely deserted. I have never heard this place so quiet. It was strange and eerie yet at the same time peaceful. We met Erebus and Diamond at the city gates and started heading south.

‘We may have our differences, but nothing’s more important than family.’ -Coco Ember It’s been a little over a week since the fall of Elding Gala and Soren. So far, life has been going smoothly and there have been no threats of any kind. It’s been quiet and we aren’t really sure what to do or think about that. Though this is what we have been fighting for. We were happy to learn during this time of peace that Wren and Reginald claimed each other. They were so much happier now and you could feel the peace the pack was under. I just hope this sense of peace lasts and none of us get restless for war. Killian and I decided that we needed to go visit Scarlet Moon and check on my fath

‘She was the heir to ash and fire, and she would bow to no one.’ -Sarah J. Maas Killian The morning after Rook took his place as the Alpha of Scarlet Moon, I let Ember sleep for a little while, as I met him in his office. I sat in a chair while he moved around the office and organized things to his liking. I see where Ember gets her organizational skills from now. She was a lot like her father. “So what are your plans as the Alpha now?” I asked in curiosity. “I really don’t know. I need to see what issues the pack has been having, but I don’t have any big plans yet. There’s no war to fight, so that’s off the table.” &nbs

‘We have a secret in our culture, and it’s not that birth is painful. It’s that women are strong.’ -Laura Stavoe Harm Ulric After five months of peace, our group here at The Delta has grown incredibly large. We had about one hundred rogues here and they were of four different species. I was acting as the Alpha even though I wasn’t one. Lark acted as the Luna and I had to admire how good she was at it. I was happy to be able to provide a place for all rogues to go. So many of us wanted a second chance at a better life, whether we deserved it or not. We wanted to do better with this life we were seeking and that's what I was offering here. I fully planned on keeping my promise to

‘With every newborn baby, a little sun rises.’ -Irmgard Erath Ember I was walking the grounds of the pack with Bastet as we checked on everyone to see how spring cleaning was going. We will be having a spring festival tonight and I was looking forward to it. There would be a large feast and a bonfire lit to ward off the winter so spring could take over. Winter had been long but the pack lived through it. Killian and I kept each other warm each night and worked beside each other every day. Bastet had even found a little love over the winter and his mate was pregnant with kittens. I wondered why it was so easy for him to get another cat pregnant but it was taking Killian and me forever.

‘Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.’ -John F. Kennedy ~Six Years Later Ember I was outside sitting in a chair in the sunlight enjoying the heat of the day after a long winter with everyone stuck inside. This past winter had been harsh so it kept most of us inside while it snowed. There were even several blizzards this past season, making us wish for sunny skies. All winter the kids were working hard to drive Killian and me crazy. If we had to stay inside another day, I think we would go crazy with the three rambunctious hellions.

‘There is no way to peace, peace is the way.’ -unknown ~Sixteen Years Later Ember We have had peace throughout the land for more than two decades now. Our communities were thriving and the populations were growing once more. It was amazing to see the sorcerers come out of hiding and rebuild one of their grand cities. Their population was still small, but it was better than them being completely gone. To think that someone could wipe out a species from existence just because of their hate was sickening. I visited Elding Gala once over the past twenty years, just to see if anyone was living there. It was completely deserted and overgrown with vegetation. The wild was taking bac

Prologue In a world filled with war and violence, there is still love and friendship to be found around any corner. Werewolves find their mates after they turn eighteen and then go through the process of claiming them with a bite. Vampires have beloveds that they find throughout the centuries of walking the earth and turn their love into one of them to spend eternity with. In a way, it sounds romantic yet problematic. Who wants to live for eternity? Sorcerers have Amores that they find at the height of their magical abilities, but it's long been rumored that Soren, the rogue King, killed them all years ago. Witches and elementals have soulmates that they find after they turn eighteen. They bind their bond with their partner through blood magic and a ring. All of these supernatural beings have one thing in common. They protect their loved ones at all costs. So what will the cost be of our adventure? How many must we lose to get to the end? 'To win any battle, you m

‘We meet the people we’re supposed to when the time is right.’ -Alyson Noel Ember Watching my soulmate shift so he could talk with me was eye-opening. It had been a really long time since I had watched a wolf shift up close. It sounded like it hurt to have all those bones break just to let a being out or put it back inside. Why would they go through that every time in order to fight? His body was very muscular and he looked like he took care of himself even though he had scars all over his body from battles. This told me that he had been a warrior for a while. I did get a good view of him before he pulled his pants back on. I’m not sure if he was always that modest or if he was just trying to be modest in front of me and the others. From what I know of w

Ember 36. We Will Go Home
‘Returning home again is clean water to my parched mouth; it is air, rich in oxygen, to my lungs as I gasp for breath.’ -unknown Killian Watching Ember and Affra kill Soren was like watching a weight being lifted from the world. It would be a much better place without him in it, and we could all thank her for being the strong woman she is. Without her, none of this would be possible. Seeing her naked standing there after killing Soren, I knew I needed to find something for her to wear or to put around her. I spotted a cloak in the corner near the throne at the head of the room. I went over and picked it up before draping it around her shoulders and bringing her close. I kissed her forehead while holding her in my arms before leading her

‘They had forgotten the first lesson, that we are to be powerful, beautiful, and without regret.’ -Anne Rice Ember I found another door that was closed and heard a lot of movement inside it. Killian and my dad both heard it also and stepped up beside me right as the door was ripped open from the inside. There we were met with a werewolf holding the hand of an elemental and two other elementals right behind them. I instantly stepped in front of Killian and my father to protect them, building my temperature and power right away. These were Realm Assassins and the man looked like what everyone said Commander Ulric looked like. The man I assumed was Ulric, unsheathed his sword and p
