Ember's POVMy eyes slowly fluttered open as I laid still in bed, frowning. For the first time in a long time I had a different dream with no Brandon in it neither was I crying or in pain. What was more strange was that it felt so real. "Ivy, are you ok?" Mia asked, standing beside me, looking worried and I slowly sat up, frowning. "I'm ok, I just had the strangest dream and I don't know what to make of it.""A dream?" She frowned and I nodded positively. "Was it a nightmare? Did you see them again?" Mia questioned, both worried and irritated. Ever since I began having nightmares she's been worried. Although I tried to hide it from her, it's easier said than done. Nothing goes past Mia unless she chooses to ignore it."It wasn't a nightmare, this dream was different," I immediately replied, explaining. My eyes landed on the roses beside the table, my eyebrows arching at it in confusion. "The Lycan King brought it while you were asleep. They didn't want to interrupt your sleep," s
Ember's POVFaye huffed, rolling her eyes as she walked in, taking a seat beside me on the bed. "I've been standing there long enough to hear you ask questions about the healer you shouldn't be asking.""Why shouldn't I be asking?" I asked, arching my eyebrows at her. "Is it so wrong for me to want to know the woman who helped my kid and also took care of me while I was unconscious?""No, it's not wrong but no one appreciates you sticking your nose in things that have nothing to do with you," she retorted, taking me aback.Ok....... What the hell was wrong with her? I gave her a weird look trying to think of a million things that could be making her act out while Mia just stood aside, silently, not saying anything. "Look," she sighed, her face loosening as she faced me."I'm sorry I sound like a bitch just now but you really should stop asking around about her. It's not going to do anyone any good. There's a reason no one knows anything about her and a reason no one cares.""But I d
Ember's POVI groaned from my sleep, rolling on my side till I landed on the floor and let out a yelp."Fuck!" I cussed loudly, totally waking up from my sleep. I sat up on the ground, frowning as I looked around, no sign of Mia. That was strange, I always wake up to see Mia's face every morning. Not seeing her felt like I was missing something.I groaned, closing my eyes briefly as I felt a splitting headache. "Fuck this hurts," I grumbled, slowly dragging myself up from the ground. Besides the splitting headache, I felt like shit. Staring at my reflection in the mirror I couldn't help but scowl. I looked like I just came out of the deepest part of hell, looking miserable. First of all, my hair seemed to be everywhere and no matter how I tried to get it to relax, it wouldn't obey. Besides my hair, I was wearing a shirt that called me a bitch, very insulting. There's no way I would have or agreed to wear a shirt like this unless I wasn't in my right mind. Worst of all, my face looks
Ember's POVMy face paled drastically as my memories came rushing in. The headache I felt initially was now non-existent and I could barely feel anything anymore. I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I actually killed someone, not just one person but more than 5 people all at once."Do you remember now?" Faye asked, releasing my hands and I chuckled nervously, stunning them all."That was simply an illusion right? I can't possibly have killed a lot of people like that on my own at my current strength, right? It has to be an illusion." I shook my head sideways, refusing to accept that it was real. The best explanation I could come up with was the fact that it was an illusion. "You should really stop undermining yourself, Ivy," Faye grinned, looking at me with a strange look in her eyes. But—""Don't even think of coming up with another crazy theory, Ivy Rose," Faye cut me short abruptly, taking me aback as she addressed me by my full name. I frowned, glaring at he
Alec's POVI sat still in my chair lost in thoughts as Rome rambled on, giving me his reports but I could barely hear a word he was saying, not when my mind was totally occupied with thoughts of Ember.Never in a million years would I have expected Ember to suddenly kiss Tyler and I out of the blues in the presence of everyone. Although I was a little disappointed when I discovered that she only did it out of the influence of what she was drugged with. My eyes burnt in fury once I remembered that someone actually dared drug Ember with lecherous thoughts in mind. Too bad he died by her hands and not mine. He would have experienced worse things than death. Ember kissing Tyler and I was not the only shocking thing that blew our minds, finding out she actually killed different wolves from the Howling moon pack was more shocking. A smile crept on my face as a proud feeling washed over me.FLASHBACK Tyler and I sat still in the living room, the temperature dangerously low as we awaited t
Ember's POVI smiled, staring out of the window. The sky is beautiful today. Is this a sign that something good is about to happen? I sighed, looking away. I really wish that was the case but gone were the days when the naive me always believed in things like that. Even if it were so, I'm simply unlucky.Arabella mumbled incoherent words, trying to grab my attention. I smiled, picking her up from her cradle."You're an exception, pumpkin. You're all the one good thing life has given me." I pinched her cheeks playfully and she giggled, holding on to my fingers."Quiet now love, let's not wake your brothers. You won't want to have to drag me with them, will you?""Bah-ha." I chuckled. It felt like she understood what I was saying even though she was just a baby. "So this is where you've been hiding?" A voice echoed from the shadows, startling me. "Faye?" I mumbled, frowning and she stepped out of the shadows, glaring at me. Arabella reached out to her excitedly and her eyes softened
Alec's POV I smirked devilishly, getting out of the car. It was exactly as I expected. The party was not just crazy but wild. Loud music blasting through the walls, reaching me at the park lot.If only they knew that this was the day they are doomed to die, they would play something more befitting for their funeral. I blew my hair out of my face, heading into the house.I frowned, suddenly coming to a pause when I felt a familiar presence behind me. "I thought I told you to stay out of this?" I grimaced, knowing who it was without turning back. "You did, Alec but I can't possibly do that, can I?" Ryan replied, coming to stand beside me. "Are you disobeying my orders now?" I arched my eyebrows at him, furious. "Of course not, Alpha," he replied, smiling but it felt like he was mocking me and it ticked me off. Why wouldn't he just take a simple order and leave this to me."I have a friend in the Howling moon pack and he offered me an invitation as well. I can't possibly turn his in
Ember's POVI grunted in annoyance, trying to pull my dress up but Faye slapped my hands away. “Ouch!” I winced in pain. “What was that for?”"What do you think you're doing? Are you trying to ruin the dress?" Faye asked, glaring at me and I glared right back at her. "Why does your wardrobe involve, exposed cleavages, displayed thighs and daring dresses?""Because that's what's it means to make an impression, sweetheart. You don't always have to look so uptightly dressed. Once you step into a new place you've got to let everyone know that a hot bitch is in the room and she's loaded," Faye explained, grinning.I gave her a bored look, as she fixed her makeup for the millionth time in the car. "Seriously Faye. What's the use of any of this? It's not like you're planning to hook up with any of them.""It doesn't matter. What matters is that you leave a lasting expression," she replied, rounding up. I sighed, giving up. It was useless trying to reason with Faye. She tends to do whateve
Ember's POV"Faye!" I yelled, barging into her room and I regretted doing that the very next second. "What the fuck guys!" I gasped, blankets flying over naked bodies as Ryan and Faye tried to cover themselves."Seriously, Ember, barging into rooms, is that what we're doing now?" Faye glared at me, looking not just pissed but irritated. She even slipped and called me by my real name. I wonder if it was intentional."Can you guys not do that with my kids in the house," I scoffed, totally ignoring her irritated look. "In case you haven't noticed, the doors are sound proof, stupid. Mind you, you should knock, get an invitation rather than barging in. We were having a moment." "Yea, right," I nodded, my eyes flying around the entire room. Everything was everywhere. There were clothes all over the floor, the desk was a mess, the bed was History. I think it might need a little repair and there's Faye's face. She looked like a truck load of mess and everything in this room irked of sex.
Ember's POVI rolled my eyes in irritation, staring out the window as I watched different packs trooping into the building in their numbers to offer their condolences to my mates over my acclaimed death."I didn't know they cared about me this much," I snorted derisively, Mia chuckling as she helped arrange my clothes."They don't necessarily care about the Alphas' dead mate, they are just concerned about getting in the good books of the Alphas while some are just snooping around for gossip in pretence of offering their condolences.""You forgot to mention the ones trooping in with their unmated daughters dressed like sluts to win the favor of my mates.""That too," Mia nodded, smiling and I scoffed in annoyance. They were all unbelievable. It's not even be up to a day and they are already trying to get the Alphas to settle down with other women. Isn't there somewhere in a part of their brain that tells them that someone needs to mourn the death of a loved one first?Why am I bothered
Ember's POV"Hmmmm," I sighed in my sleep, turning on my side, my head landing on something wide, solid and comfortable. I smiled in my sleep. I wonder what was so comfortable to sleep on like this.It's definitely not a pillow.My eyes fluttered open and first thing it landed was on an unfamiliar wardrobe in the room, making me frown. I do not remember having a wardrobe like this in my room. My wardrobe is purple not black. My eyes hovered around the room, landing on more unfamiliar things, my frown deepening by the second.I immediately jerked awake, my eyes bugging out of their sockets as I realized something."This is not my room!"I slowly looked beside me and saw Alec peacefully sleeping, while Tyler laid by my other side equally sleeping. I almost shrieked loudly but I immediately covered my mouth, stopping myself from screaming and forcing them awake.WTF!How the hell am I in Alec's room and why are both guys sleeping beside me. Sweet goddess, tell me this is all a dream. I c
Alec's POVWhat the fuck was going on?I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that Ember was right here in this room, with so many lascivious eyes hovering around her body.What the hell is she thinking wearing a dress like that here?My eyes remained fixated on her, a scowl on my face as I watched her laugh and joke around with Faye, and two other guys. One was hitting on Faye while the other was hitting on my mate.I thought of a million ways to kill the guy talking to her but none felt like a deserving death for him. How dare he hit on my mate right here in my presence. Someone growled beside me and I glanced at Ryan to see his murderous glare on the other guy, hitting on Faye. His rage was rolling off him in waves and he was slowly shifting without even knowing it."Get a grip Ryan! You're shifting," I growled and he took in slow breaths, tearing his eyes away from them."Sorry, I don't know what came over me," he muttered under his breath, blowing out steam. I honestly cou
