Nicholus’s POV:

“So yeah, I have tightened the security around the borders and made all the arrangements in case we’re attacked again,” Ethan informed me of the military situation.

I nodded my head curtly and said tightly, "Very well. I want us to be fully prepared for any future attack."

Ethan assured me that he had taken matters into his own hands and I needed not to worry.

Nodding at him, I reached over the piled-up files on my desk and plucked out the blue one. It was a full-fledged plan and proposal by Alpha Maddox, King of the East, about to convince me to hand over the rights to manufacture BloodMoon Merlot to them.

As I read the contents of the file, Ethan leaned back in his chair and assessed me with careful eyes.

I was fully aware of his stare at me and even knew what was going on in his head. I waited for a few more minutes before grunting, "Say it, Ethan."

He straightened up, "Nothing to say, Alpha. I just have a question I'm really curious about."

"Ask away," I mum

    Ember's POV:I woke up to someone shaking my body vigorously. As soon as I peeked open an eye, a severe wave of headache split my skull into two.I winced in pain as I forced my eyes open and blinked several times to focus. Sophie was hovering over me with a deep frown on her face, "Oh, thank God you opened your damn eyes," her hand flew to her chest, "I thought that you went into a comma."I groaned while rubbing my forehead, "What happened?"She widened her eyes, "12 pm happened, Your Highness."All the grogginess vanished from my body as I abruptly sat up on the bed and screeched, "What? 12 pm? And I slept in?""Again," Sophie groaned.And then her eyes roamed all over my face and her frown deepened, "Are you okay, Ember?"She sat on the mattress beside me and said with worry, "You don't seem fine to me. You have gone so week in just a matter of few days. You sleep in every other day, don't have the energy to train, and I've noticed that you've even lost your appetite."I pinched m

    Ember's POV:Sophie and I stayed on the lawn for the next few hours and gossiped about all random things until she received a text from her mom, who asked her to run some errands.Sophie wanted me to tag along but I was feeling too tired to do anything productive. So I stayed behind and sprawled on the grass for a little longer.An hour later, I finally forced my legs to stand up and return to the castle.Walking through the corridors, I was about to take a turn toward the stairs when my eyes caught Damon playing chess in the hall. Something about him made me stop in my tracks and I couldn't help staring at him.He was playing alone, all by himself. He seemed so lonely at that moment that I got flashbacks of my own childhood before Sophie came into the picture. I used to be alone just like him.I remember vividly how I used to play all by myself. Being a princess, I was never short of toys but what fun do toys bring when you don't even have a friend to play with? Yup, that's why Sophi

    Ember's POV: "When did you come back?" I asked Sophie after seeing her sprawled on my bed. "Just a while ago. Where were you?" she inquired lazily. I made a beeline to the bed and flopped beside her, "Downstairs. I was playing chess with Damon." At that, she turned over and faced me, "Should I ask why?" She seemed confused. "Why do you sound so surprised?" I blurted out. Her eyebrow twitched higher, "Because the last I checked he was still a demonic soul traveled down from the deepest pit of Hell." Remembering our last encounter, I muttered tightly, "He still is." "And yet you seem to spend so much time with him lately," she stated while eyeing me. "First, you are overly exaggerating. Second, what point are you exactly trying to make here?" I jumped straight to the point. She heaved up on her elbow and asked abruptly, "Are you attracted to him? Do you like him?" I screeched out in shock, "What?!?! Like seriously, Sophie? How can you even think such a thing?" She shrugged no

    Ember’s POV:After breakfast, I met Sophie on the castle lawn and we took a stroll while talking about random things. And when she started telling me about the wedding preparations, I zoned out.My thoughts were all over the place. I still hadn’t allowed myself to ponder and analyze my decision to get married to Arnold Pierce. As far as I was concerned, he was the perfect candidate. And the fact that Father chose him and I agreed to it kind of gave me an upper hand in the situation.So, whenever a pair of pitch-black eyes full of darkness and demons haunted me in the dreams, I told myself that I was only doing what was necessary to do.I was getting married in about 3 days and the castle was brimming with preparations. Royal invites had already been sent to the invited families and prominent figures of the South.While Sophie was babbling about the bridesmaid dress, Anna sauntered over to us and bowed, “Your Highness, Ms. Tacy is looking for you.”I dipped my eyebrows, “What happened?

    Ember's POV:Two days before the wedding, Father invited Alpha Arnold Pierce for dinner. It was a formal meeting between Father, me, and Arnold where we disclosed to him how things would be after this marriage.Father relayed to him the plans for my coronation right after the wedding. Furthermore, he informed Arnold that his pack would be resolved and join with our pack. Arnold himself would lose the title and rank of Alpha.As he didn't belong to the Royal Family, he wouldn't be given the title and rank of King even after our marriage. He would only be bestowed with the title of Baron, the least one in the monarchy. It was necessary to make sure that he wouldn't have any significant power to cause any ruckus in my reign.Father made it clear to him that he wouldn't have any direct connection to the throne and wouldn't have any direct say in the political as well as social matters of the Empire. After Father, I would be the sole authority to make the decisions I deemed fit.To say in

    Ember’s POV:Rooting his feet on the ground, Damon leaned forward until he reached my eye level. Refusing to look him in the eyes, I jerked my head in the other direction because I still remembered how he insulted me and somehow forgot to apologize.Of course, the man didn't care about any of that.Tilting his head to the side, Damon said in a mocking tone, “Had a nice chitchat with your Prince Charming?”Tilting my head, I took in the gray clouds covering the sky, and huffed a loud sigh, “As usual, none of your business but of course, you never get that, right?”Damon clicked his tongue, “As your POTENTIAL friend, lemme tell you just for the record. He can promise you his sheer respect, loyalty, and affection but when it comes to ardent love and passionate devotion, he isn’t capable of that.”At that, my head flung toward him and I glared into his eyes, “You were eavesdropping,” I squinted my eyes, "You really have no concept of boundaries, right?"Straightening up, he simply shrugge

    Ember’s POV:My throat clogged at his confession and I swallowed the lump in my throat. I bit my bottom lip and wrapped my arms around me in a protective manner, “Why are you making things so complicated?” I asked in a small voice.His eyebrows drooped lower and his shoulders slouched as he whispered helplessly, “Is it that impossible for you to love me back? Do you really despise me to the point that you can’t even consider such a thing? What exactly have I ever done to deserve this much hatred from you?”Tears prickled at the back of my eyes, “I don’t hate you, Damon." I paused and took a shuddering breath, " I don't wanna hurt you but…” I shook my head vigorously, “But I…I can’t do it. It's impossible.”Another thunder growled in the sky, depicting Damon’s feelings and my turmoil. And then, all of a sudden, it started raining. Big, fat raindrops pattered on the ground.Stealing one last glance at him, I turned around and started sprinting toward the castle. My mind was a chaotic mes

    Ember’s POV:Suffocation was a small word. I was feeling so constricted in my own body that it felt like the whole world was crashing into me.I was grateful that Damon did not follow me this time or I would have exploded with rage. Maybe he too was too shocked at the revelation to show any other reaction.Entering the main door, I sped past the hall and whipped around the corner. Reaching the staircase, I took two at a time. If Ms. Tacy had been there she must have scolded me that such manners didn’t belong to a Princess let alone the future Queen but at that moment, her validation was the least of my concerns.Keeping my pace fast, I ran through the corridors and didn’t slow down until I got to my private wing. It was only when I reached my bedroom did I stop.I was panting heavily as I grabbed the doorknob and kicked it open. Slamming the door behind me, I sauntered to the table and gulped down the glass of water in one sip.Flopping on the couch, I grabbed my head and took deep br

    Ember's POV:After Nicholus left my room, I stayed rooted to my spot for a long minute. I was too stunned to process what he just said. He sounded so detached, so unbothered like killing his brother wasn't a big deal for him.After a few minutes, the door creaked open and Darius rushed inside. He came to a sudden halt as soon as he saw me pacing the floor."I've come to tell you about it but by the looks of your pale face, it seems like you already know," he stated.My hands flew in the air, "Tell me it's nothing but bullshit. I mean, there is no way he could be serious about killing Damon, right? He is his BROTHER. No matter how much hate, enmity, or misunderstandings they have between them, they are still brothers," I rushed out in one breath.He let out a tiring sigh, "You know how they are, Ember."I let out a loud groan, "How could either of them even think such a horrible thing is beyond my understanding."He remained silent for a few minutes to let my anger cool off before spea

    Ember's POV:After Nicholus was gone, I slid down to the floor as the walls I had built around my heart cracked and the dam just broke apart. Uncontrollable tears rolled down my cheeks. My shoulders shook as my body rattled with ugly sobs.How could a mother be so cruel to her only child? What did I do so wrong to deserve that? All my life I craved for my parents' affection but what did I get in return? Their betrayal...?Father failed me miserably but I had my Mother's thoughts to keep me going. Even though I had no memories of her but I still thought that she must have loved me. I used to find comfort in the fact that the only reason she wasn't with me was because she just couldn't. It was better when I thought her to be dead. Because the thought that she had abandoned me was killing me bit by bit.Was I really that bad of a person? I've heard...heck, I've seen parents always loving their children no matter how bad of a monster their kids are. Was I even worse to be depraved of both

    Nicholus’s POV:Watching her looking at me with nothing but hatred shattered my heart into so many pieces that I didn’t know how to pick them all and make it whole again.I don’t know how the hell Damon got his hands on the confidential inside information about military and state matters and I absolutely had no idea that he’d be twisting that information to sow a seed of doubt in Ember’s heart.But I couldn't really blame him. I should have been cautious. I should've foreseen it. I shouldn't have taken his long silence so lightly. I let my guard down and was witnessing the results now.But as far as the matter of the South was concerned, I had it under control. I had no bad intentions and I'd keep telling her even thousands of times if that would make her believe me.But the irreversible damage occurred when that fucker told Ember about her mother. He shouldn't have gone there. He had created a big mess which I had no idea how to come out of.I knew I’d lost all fight when Ember yelle

    Ember’s POV:Despite the turmoil raging inside me, I waited patiently as Nicholus wiped his hands through his hair before starting, “First of all, I want you to know that the army has nothing to do with marrying you, okay?”My eyes widened horrifically, “So it means you ARE planning to take over the South…?”He shook his head, “What? No.” He walked closer to me but I lifted my palm, making him stay wherever he was. I need a little distance between us to think rationally.“Tell me about the army first,” I said in a sharp tone.Nodding slowly, he started speaking, “Do you remember when you were on bed rest, you heard Damon, Ethan, and I talking about the war looming over us?”I nodded curtly, thinking back to that night when they were all worried about Nicholus’s wolf weakening while the war was close.A slight frown appeared between my brows along with a relief. But I told myself not to grow any more hopes before going to the bottom of it.“So, the army is for that war?” I couldn’t kee

    Ember’s POV:Grabbing my hand, Damon had just taken a step toward the door when an ear-piercing roar boomed in the air. “Enough!” Nicholus growled.My feet came to a sudden halt as I felt the sudden shift in the air. Damon pulled me forward, more urgently now. But before he could another step, the doors to my room flung open and dozens of warriors spilled into the room, blocking the exit.My head whipped around as I heard warriors jumping in through the balcony.In a few seconds, my room was brimming with warriors closing in on us, surrounding me and Damon. My gaze shifted from one to another as I blurted out in shock, “What’s happening?”Damon bared his teeth and pointed behind me, “It’s him, of course. He must have mindlinked his minions. That's why he was silent and still.”Damon shook his head and said amusingly, “Really, Nicholus? Are we really doing it?”Nicholus shrugged nonchalantly, unbothered by everything happening around us, “Warned you time and time again to shut that fuc

    Ember’s POV:I stole a glance at his fingers brushing over my necklace and heard his shocking whisper, "The Celestial Stone."My head whipped up to him and saw his pupils dilating as he looked at me, “You are…what the…”I felt Nicholus going rigid behind me. His voice sounded menacing as he warned his brother, “Damon, no, not this…not now.”A deep frown appeared between my brows. Closing my fingers around the necklace, I stepped aside and watched the brothers exchanging heated glares.An eerie feeling of unrest settled in the pit of my stomach. My throat felt constricted as I sobbed, “What…what is it about my mother?”Nicholus was slowly shaking his head in a threatening manner. At that, a wicked gleam twinkled in Damon's eyes as if he had stepped closer to his victory.My heart lurched to my throat as a devilish smirk tugged over Damon's lips before he chuckled coldly, “Dark, dark secrets between the mates are crazy.”It felt like my heart just dropped all the way to the floor.

    Ember's POV:With my pulse a ticking bomb waiting to explode, I stood there, waiting for him to deny all accusations, assuring me that whatever Damon was spewing out of his mouth was nothing but bullshit.But all hopes trembled to death as Nicholus stepped backward. All of a sudden, he seemed so tired as he rubbed the nape of his neck and sighed, “Ember, I…listen…”More tears streamed out of my eyes. Angrily wiping them away, I screamed at his face, “Is that true or not, Nicholus?”I already knew it was. But still, I waited pathetically for him to deny it all so that we can go back to our fairytale wedding we'd been so excited about.His gaze flickered to Damon standing behind me before shifting back to me. Slouching his shoulders, he breathed out, “Just a half truth.”A gut-wrenching sob escaped me as I took another step away from him only to walk closer to Damon.Nicholus took a quick step forward and grabbed me by the shoulders. His voice sounded urgent as he spoke, “And you need

    Ember’s POV:I could feel the anger oozing out of Nicholus but on the outside, he appeared calm and composed as if he were almost expecting his arrival. Twitching his eyebrow higher, he asked in a blank voice, “What are you doing here?”Straightening his shoulders, Damon tightened his hold on my hand before uttering, “I’m here to take Ember with me.”Hearing that, I again tried to twist my hand out of his, wincing as a sharp shot through my arm as his grip tightened defiantly.That’s when Nicholus’s eyes flickered down to our joined hands. His gaze narrowed viciously and his fists coiled tightly at his sides. Baring his teeth, he snarled menacingly, “Leave her hand right now, Damon.”Damon paid no heed to the warning ringing in Nicholus’s voice and took a step toward the door.Before he could take another, Nicholus lunged forward. His voice was a loud roar as he growled, “Touch her again and I’ll fucking rip you to pieces.”His body thudded into Damon’s and they both stumbled backward

    “Damon…?” I whispered into the darkness, gawking at him with wide eyes.As soon as he heard me saying his name, his shoulders slouched and he took a breath of relief. He seemed like a traveler who had finally reached his destination after an eternity of traveling nowhere.Suddenly, he lunged forward. Sliding one of his hands around my waist and the other around the back of my head, he pulled me into a tight hug.Sticking his nose to my neck, he inhaled deeply and I could feel his body relaxing against mine. His hot breath washed over my ear as he whispered with a raw emotion I couldn't decipher, “God, I missed you. I missed you so much, Ember.”My mind was a jumbled mess of chaos and confusion as I tried to process what exactly was happening. Breaking the hug, I stared at him with frantic eyes, “Damon, what are you doing here?”Placing his hands on my shoulders, he squeezed lightly and said with a hint of excitement, “I am here to take you with me. Away from here.”My heart was thuddi
