Ember's POV

"Ember!" Faye squealed loudly, bursting into my room.

"Keep your voice down Faye," I glared at her, taking her by surprise.

"You'll wake the kids up."

She gaped at me in surprise, her eyes soon overshadowed by disappointment.

"How is it that you're already awake this early?" She asked, frowning and I smiled, combing my hair out.

"Well, I couldn't sleep for long so I woke up quite early," I lied through my teeth, smiling at my reflection in the mirror. Truth was that I spent the remaining hours of my night talking to Everest.

Never for once would I have envisioned Everest and I, sitting down to have a decent conversation. Not only did I get to know Everest better he helped keep my attention away from my nightmares and there was this warmth that came with him.

My stance of him being an asshole was begining to stand on a shaky ground not until he suggested me sneaking into Alec's room or Tyler's room and getting myself a good fuck because I was acting like an old

    Ember's POV Mia's mutterings about how I was dead kept ringing in my head and although I wanted to act tough and not care, a part of me couldn't help but be worried that I might have gone ahead of myself. Taking Faye down in one trial might be an issue. The fact that I didn't know her fighting style was also an issue. Alec already gave me a hint of the others fighting style but not of Faye because she was not part of those taking part in my training. Mia also had no idea. The only thing that she actually knew was that Faye was a strong foe and so far she has bested all the guards. Only Alec, Tyler, Rome and Everest could actually beat her in a fight, others can't. So I decided to try out a little experiment. I picked a random guard to spar with me and the outcome was hideous. It left me with a beautiful black eye. Mia went from being scared for me to being amused by my new look. There's no doubt about this, if Mia is right and Faye is truly stronger than all the guards and y

    Ember's POVI stood in front of the mirror, frowning. It's been two days since I took up the challenge to fight Faye and win but right now, I don’t feel so sure of winning anymore. One day of training with Everest and I was beginning to understand why I couldn't win against Faye. My chance of ever beating Everest in a fight right now is one out of ten but yet Faye did it effortlessly. How the heck was I to beat Faye if I can't even beat Everest in a fight? Even the guards that are considered weaklings to Faye were still stronger than me. I could take on a few guards and have a chance at winning after the little drilling I got from Everest but I was still nowhere close to beating Faye.With each hour that passes by, I grow cold feet and I can't seem to help it. Ever since Rome told me about Faye being the legendary Lycan that fights like a demon, I just can't help but feel like I made the biggest mistake of my life by ever choosing to pick a fight with Faye. The option of giving up

    Ember's POV "You know Ivy, you still have a chance to back out of the fight and save your pretty face, the horror you're about to put it through," Mia said, helping me dress up."I'm already as nervous as it is and the last thing I want is for you to give me more reasons to be scared, Mia," I replied, frowning. "If you're not going to encourage me I'd rather not hear you talk," I added. "I'm just watching out for you," she muttered under her breath, frowning and I remained silent, not saying anything. I knew better than anyone else that she was simply scared for me and I wouldn't blame her. Who wouldn't be scared at the knowledge of fighting a Lycan known as a demon. No matter how brave I'm trying to be, I still can't help but be equally scared. Mia was right, I still had the chance to back out now but it was not an option for me. “How about this; I add some laxative to Faye's meal. It would give you more chances of winning and coming out of the fight with a less battered face,"

    Ember's POV"Are you sure you're okay, Ivy?" Everest eyed me suspiciously. I haven't been myself since Alec and Tyler left. I kept zoning out and thinking about how good it felt when they both kissed me. I never felt this good when Brandon kissed me.This all felt different and the thought of it alone drives me nuts.How could they spark up this much emotion in me all at once?"Ivy Rose?" Everest called, bringing me back to reality."I'm fine, Everest," I assured him, smiling tight-lipped."Liar," he muttered under his breath, not saying it out loud but I could hear him. How was I to tell him that Alec and Tyler were the sole reason I was this way? I couldn't possibly tell him all the inhumane things they did to my poor, innocent body.We stood outside the sparring grounds, just at the entrance. Faye was already on the sparring grounds warming up, the guards and servants gathered around and filled the seats to watch the fight, cheering loudly for her. But for some reason, it did nothi

    Ember's POV"Murderer!" They all yelled at me, calling me names and throwing things at me as they dragged me around.The pain, the shame, the torment, I could feel them all as tears rolled down my eyes in torrents."I didn't kill him. Please, believe me, I didn't kill him," I kept saying but no one was ready to listen to me. They were all convinced that I was the murderer, and whatever I said only aggravated them more.How could I possibly kill a man that loved me and treated me just like his daughter when I had no one. How can they believe I could possibly kill him?In the midst of the insults and shame, I saw Brandon and Emily standing aside, kissing, and giggling at whatever it is they found funny. I gritted my teeth in anger, remembering it all.It was all because of them!Everyone turned on me and my unborn babies because of them.They set me up!I gritted my teeth in anger, the betrayal I felt drowning the pain I felt from how I was being treated by the pack members.

    Ember’s POVToday was my wedding day.A soft smile tore across my face as I stirred and could hear the chatters across the hallway; memories of my bachelorette party filled my mind, and I frowned as it suddenly became hazy.“GET THAT SHAMELESS MURDERER OUT OF THAT BED!”.Murderer?I groaned in discomfort; the noise was making me increasingly uneasy. I shifted in bed, trying to ease the discomfort, but a smile crept onto my lips as I cleared away those thoughts. “Murderer! She’s a murderer! Get her out of the bed!” The words pierced through my thoughts once more, leaving me in a state of confusion. Was I hearing things? My eyes slowly fluttered open, and through my blurry vision, I saw a figure standing in front of me.What is going on? I wondered, sitting up straight. Everyone had gathered around me, their expressions filled with shock as they stared at something beside me. Confusion and dread swirled inside me as I turned to see what they were staring at. When my eyes landed on i

    Ember’s POVA shot rang out followed by a thud causing me to scream weakly as I turned to watch Ella fall down."Run, don't look back, or they will get you!" Ella cried out in pain, unable to move or make a run for it. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I forced them back. Taking a deep breath and not daring to look back in such a dire situation.“You catch that bitch, KILL HER!” I was terrified, especially since I was heavily pregnant. I didn't want to be in this situation— it was almost too much to bear. What if my child ends up dying? What if I never get to hold it in my arms? The thought tore at me as I ran, knowing they wouldn't stop until they had me.They chased me through the thick jungle, branches tearing at my skin, my breathing growing more ragged with each painful gasp. Ella's words echoed in my mind: Brandon really wanted me gone? He really wanted me to die? It seemed impossible. The Brandon I loved would do anything to protect me, but he was angry because he believed I

    I slowly regained consciousness with a heavy pain in my chest, the pain unbearable. With a wince as I struggled to open my eyes but couldn’t. Where am I? The beeping sound of a hospital monitor filled my senses. I felt my wolf stirring within me as if trying to tell me something. After trying hard to regain full consciousness, I finally did, my eyes snapping open with a gasp.The first thing I noticed was the high ceiling above me. My vision was blurry, but it soon cleared as I grumbled weakly, “I didn’t do it…” At that moment, I hadn’t fully regained myself, so my words came out without control. “I didn’t do it…” I repeated, feeling the pain in my chest increase.Then my memories came flooding back—the betrayal— my death!. How could they have done this to me?“You’re awake,” a voice said, shocking me. I turned my eyes towards the sound and saw a man sitting there, a magazine in his hand as he flipped through it. He was dressed in a suit but I couldn’t see his face. My heart leap

    Ember's POVI smiled in satisfaction, staring out of the window enjoying the cool breeze of the night, the moon casting a soft glow on my face.I was happy and so was my wolf. For my wolf, she bubbled in excitement within me because she finally got to prove how strong willed she is to our mate. It was funny but well, what could I say?Not like I cared about any of that.For me, I'm happy that I have a chance of winning the deal, and getting Alec and Tyler to finally fulfill their own part of the bargain and allow me to train and work. Enough to get stronger and have my revenge.My heart clenched in pain as I thought about Brandon, smiling sadly as I stared into the moon.It wouldn't be long now, I'll make him pay for everything he did. Arabella cooed from her crib, muttering incoherent words and grabbing my attention."Arabella," I smiled, turning my attention to her to see her eyes widely awake."You should be asleep you little devil," I tickled her and she chortled, trying to move a

    Ember's POV"It's starting!" Faye shrieked loudly, rushing to sit beside me on the bed as we began watching everything happening in the garden through our laptop.It was Faye's plan that we should place a camera in the garden to watch the whole thing since staying in the garden wouldn't be feasible. She also connected the camera to the screens she put up in the house for everyone to watch.Everest is very observant according to Faye and our presence in the garden won't go unnoticed by him which is why we had to leave. Although I still felt it would have been more fun to watch it all from the garden but well, I guess we'll just have to make do with this instead.After Faye dragged Everest to the garden and pushed him into the garden, locking him in with a banquet of flowers in his hands, he stood still for a while glaring at the door.The moment Faye joined me on the bed, the candles in the garden suddenly lit up, illuminating the path of the red carpet we had laid out for him with our

    Ember's POVConvincing Alan to take a bold step and express his feelings to Everest took a lot of energy from me. Alan was sweet, charming and definitely Everest type of guy according to Faye when I introduced him to her.He was way better than Ryan who is simply a jackass.I still didn't understand why Everest didn't notice someone as charming as this. It is true when they say love is blind. It not only makes you blind to others around you, it makes you blind to the toxicity of the person you are with.My mind drifted to Brandon and he found a way to sneak back into my thoughts even though I've been trying so hard not to think about him.Never for once, did he show me a toxic side to him. Or was it just possible I was simply blind to it all?I sighed, drowning in my thoughts."Luna," Mia called, stepping into the garden with the guards I punished this afternoon, dressed in maid's clothing. I immediately snapped out of it, facing her."I brought them to help. I figured they would be
