Ember's POV

I caressed the blue moon mark on Arabella's arm, crested on her by the Theta, my heart aching.

It was all his fault!

"Brandon!" I gritted my teeth in anger, my heart burning in rage. It was his fault Arabella is in this situation, it was his fault that she is this weak and it's his fault that she was born prematurely and forced to suffer this way.

Tears glistened in my eyes as I considered the possibility of Arabella not ever connecting to her wolf.

After helping out with taking Arabella's pain, Alec left angrily, not saying a word to me or baiting an eye at the Theta when she asked if he was ok.

"Ivy, are you okay?" Mia asked, showing up behind me and I immediately wiped my tears not wanting her to see me crying.

"Yes, I'm fine," I replied, without sparing her a glance. She would know in an instant if she saw my face that I've been crying because my eyes were red, swollen and puffy.

"Do you need anything, like food? You've not eaten anything yet," she reminded me and my s

    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

    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 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 "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"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

    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

    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 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 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 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
