Ember's POV

I was busy smiling as people offered their congratulations. This was lovely and I didn't want to change it for the world. I was happy, Trent was also happy. Finally we were going to be able to deal with naysayers in the form of Ellie.

Surprisingly too, Ruel didn't return, Sonia was normal and it seemed like life had normalized. "Do you feel that?" Trent whispered to me and I looked up only for him to catch my lips with his.

I smiled at him, letting it slide because I was happy. Life was finally good, I was free from the doctor's unnerving stare.

"Feel your heartbeat as you love to say?"

"Nah, I don't say that." he joked and I smiled at him. "You have such beautiful eyes. We said that we weren't going to invite a lot of people but guess who has a lot of visitors downstairs? We."

I sighed, "I don't feel too good with a lot of people present. Do you know who is out to hurt them? This time around too, I won't be allowing anyone to move around their perimeter."

He hummed and

    Xander's POVAfter Ellie left I was a bit tired so I decided to take a nap. However that would mean skipping the thing that I had in mind to do. There was a bit of annoyance in her eyes and we traded words as usual but that didn't stop the fact that I was only trying to get my samples.I glanced at the hair that was inside the Ziploc bag that I was given from the hospital. That was going to help matter a lot. I didn't want it to get to the next day. As a firm believer in doing what was necessary at the right time I rose and went toward the door. I needed a confirmation today. That would explain the reason I was feeling this way. I turned sideways and saw that there was a group of men standing outside the house. From their scent, they reeked of being high class wolves so I decided to wait to see what they were here for.I watched my guards talk to them then after a while they began to walk backwards. "tell them to come to the meeting room." I told one of the guards through the mindli

    Xander's POVI didn't waste any time in calling an urgent meeting with Zion in my grip."This is the face of the criminal who is tipping Zane off. His name is Zion as you all know." I announced parading him before the pack naked. This wasn't what I would like to do to a grown man but he pushed me. "Now, if anyone tries this stunt, I wouldn't hesitate to kill all your family members. So before you do anything stupid, know that there are people attached to you who would bear the brunt. I'm not remorseful about my decisions." "Prepare the stakes!" I ordered and the warriors climbed on the elevated platform and began to arrange the woods properly. Well this was the best way to treat a traitor. There were a lot of them which he had told me but I was going to pick them up at night. "Place him there!" I yelled and threw him to them. They caught him and laid him on the sticks. His wife rushed out and pushed her daughter backwards while an elderly pack member covered the girl's eyes. "Ple

    Ember's POVGetting back to work was a good thing because I could finally use my brains. It wasn't good if I had to wait all these while to resume. I didn't know how much I missed working until I saw the familiar walls of my factory. Sonia was all smiles as she walked toward me and I smiled at her in response. "I've missed us being here." "Yeah, me too." She stared at me as I thought about how to repay her for her kindness. "What do you dream of having but don't yet have?" I asked stylishly. She shrugged, "I don't know. I have come farther than I expected. I don't think I want more. I'm quite grateful for how far I've come."I shook my head. Was this humility or she was just trying to push me away?"I don't think anyone should be complacent with a position. We all aspire to be greater, you should be the same." She shook her head. "I don't know, I can't think of anything right now." She said, "I'm being sincere, if I wanted anything I would have spoken." She reassured me and I st

    Ember's POV"Oh, really!?” I pretended not to be interested, meanwhile my heart was beating faster. "Yeah. I didn't pick up because I know that it's probably not for the best. I was tempted to but I realized that this wouldn't go through. I don't know." He whispered but I nodded. "Yeah, yeah. I understand that. Do you think that there would be something that he really needs to pass across to you?" "No, not really. I don't want to talk to him or do you want me to?" "No, why does he want to talk to you now that we have our lives in order? Does he want to say that he needs to tell me something so important? Anything that he wants to say can wait. I don't want to speak to him or have any contact with him." "Exactly what I thought. Well, that's not easy because that would mean that I would be giving him attention. I don't like him one bit." Trent agreed and I stared at him softly. There might be a reason why he was staring at me this way. I think I needed to have a word with Xander,

    Ember's POVThere was nothing else that I wanted to do more than run away and hide somewhere then recoup before returning. I was overwhelmed by the sheer display of love. I smiled at him when I looked at the car."I want to give it a spin!" I yelled and ran through the door and he followed me. "Easy...I hope you can drive and not bash my latest baby." He said. I shot him a smile. " You don't need to worry, I'll return it in one piece, I should be worried about dying instead. But I won't." I was happy, life was good. I was running on a long fuse, excitement coursed through my veins, and after a long time, I could finally say that I was happy. I was utterly free."You look like a kid in a candy store." "Oh my God, this is more than being in a candy store. This is owning the freaking store and I'm so happy about that. I can't wait to drive it around town when everyone can see it. Is it automatic?" I asked as I turned on the ignition."Yeah... It is. I don't want you to stress yoursel

    Ember's POVMy hands shook softly but I maintained a calm composure. "Huh?" I asked nonchalantly, making sure that my face tallied with my words."You were talking to someone, yelling over the phone, I ask who was that." I stared at him, he was acting like he knew everything that was going on but I didn't want to just expose myself. Damn you, Xander for getting on my nerves. "It was no one." I smiled at him tentatively "Is there anything that you want to tell me? You're back quite early." I changed the subject, looking him up and down, noticing his skewed tie."Why is your tie skewed? Did you see someone else?" I couldn't stop myself from asking. I didn't want to contract any infection from him so I needed to know what it was."I have not been able to fix it back after removing it before." "Oh, yeah... Let me help you with that." I offered, evading the topic at hand. "I thought that you were with someone else." He leaned and pecked me which I gladly returned. "why should I? When

    Ember's POV"She spoke about a lot of things which I'd rather not repeat." He responded, making me shiver a bit. My eyes were a bit wide but I managed to conceal my emotions. Trent was perceptive and we were going on very smoothly. "I am not thinking about anything but it keeps making me wonder. What if she was right?" I think I was sitting at the edge of my seat already, almost about to fall off. "And I hate suspense, tell me what she said." "Never mind." He replied and I shot him a glare. Why was he toying with my heart? I was almost running mad. "Trent... You aren't supposed to leave me hanging. Tell me what happened." "Oh, nothing much. What I need is your commitment which I'm beginning to see so I believe she was lying." That didn't ease my worries one bit. I was panicking more than I should and it got me wondering what was happening. "You don't get to tell me something halfway and let the rest go. I can't deal with you." I pretended to be angry hoping that our newly stre

    Ember's POV"Your Ex came up to seduce you.'' I muttered slowly, trying to get the full picture of what happened. I knew that it wasn't gonna to be that person that was going to be jealous of an ex but I couldn't help but consider a lot of things. If they were that close, there was every tendency that he would succumb to her persistent acts. I knew that Ellie was a lot of things but being lazy wasn't one of them. "Are you trying to tell me that you don't believe anything that she said? Ellie is quite persistent, why would you think she was able to succeed in what she was doing?" He shrugged, throwing care to the wind. "Well, that's her business by the way. I don't think that I want to have anything to do with her, if I did, I wouldn't be here with you, so you need not to worry about anything. If you know that there's any problem why don't you just let me go and let's see what happens afterwards?" "Good. I just want to be sure that you are not considering her words. That girl know

    Ember squealed. "You're a naughty boy." She replied when Xander took her inside the shower. "We are too old to be having these sessions." She replied. Xander didn't think that anything was wrong with him wanting to have an alone time with his lovely wife so he smiled at her. Ember smiled at him. "I'm sorry, I was just kidding." She told him.His eyes crinkled with mirth. "I know, right. I don't even care about what you want to say but I believe that you will enjoy today's session. It promises to be mind-blowing." He bragged. She smiled at him while stroking his beards playfully. "Do you even know what this means?" She teased him.Xander peeled off the dress from her shoulders quietly and stared at her figure. "You look exquisite. I don't think I've seen anyone like you." He muttered softly while smacking his lips for effect.She rolled her eyes at his words. He would say anything just to have his way with her. "What do I expect? It's been almost twenty years." She complained.Xande

    Sixteen Years Later, Dennis bounced into the room dripping with sweat and ran down to the kitchen to get a bottle of water from the fridge but met a restriction. He looked up and saw his twin brother staring at him with a glare. "Take a shower instead, you'll feel calm." He said.Dennis went mute for a minute before throwing a punch at him but his brother was faster and had predicted the move so he ducked at the last minute."Get away from the fridge, both of you!" Ember yelled and they jumped apart. She saw that they were mad at each other which made her worried. "You too are supposed to have each other's backs not be a thorn in each other's flesh." She whispered. She was trying so much to raise children who were devoid of hate and malice. The Alpha position was an edgy one which she hoped that they didn't fight each other for but coexisted perfectly together. "Why do you feel the need to show your powers when you are supposed to be each other's best friends?" She demanded The

    Three years later"Mummy, can I have a taste now?" One of the boys asked and Ember shook her head, looking down at him with a smile as he had his hands around her legs."Don't be such a baby. It's not ready yet," His twin replied, rolling his eyes as he crossed his arms. The one who had his hands around Ember's leg, shot his brother a glare."Well, I wasn't talking to you" He snapped and Ember downplayed a smile threatening to form on her lips.She stirred the pasta, before turning around to face the boys just in time, when her favorite head came into her view.Xander's hair was disheveled and sticking out. He looked like he just walked out of the shower. He rounded the counter, wrapping his arm around her waist, pulling her flush against his body."This smells delicious," He closed his eyes, taking a sniff. His stomach growled in response and Ember laughed."Easy there, big boy. Soon" She muttered.Xander leaned into her, brushing his lips against the shell of her ears."But taste be

    Ember's POV. A pang of headache hit me as I felt my eyes open, my legs shaking beneath my gown. Everywhere seemed black, but the sun rays through the barred hole on the door shone brightly. I strove to stand up, taking what felt like an eternity to raise a leg. Something that felt like shaped iron clashing against each other rang in my ear, and I felt compelled to know what was happening outside. I sprinted toward where the backdoor was, my legs shaking after every step, my heart racing faster with every step I took. The sound of crashing iron and steel and the rise of cries grew closer and thicker with every step I took. I had no idea what was happening outside, all I sought was to escape from this dungeon. Most of the guards were distracted by what was happening outside, none were looking my way. I guess it was lucky, and a chance for me to escape. I walked toward the exit door, but just as I reached there, the roar of a wicked smile halted me in my spot, and I was force

    Xander's POV. I was seated in my palace when an emissary holding a sealed letter was brought before me by one of my pack guards. As the emissary approached, I could sense a mix of curiosity and unease from my pack members "Greetings, Alpha Xander. I bring a message from Trent's pack." He fretted going down by reclining his head onto his knees. I took the letter, breaking the seal. My eyes scanned the parchment, and my gut twisted with every word. Trent was declaring war on us. I called a gathering with my elders. We sat in a circle, the letter passed among us. "This is madness," One of them growled. "Trent knows we won't back down." "We need to prepare for battle," Another suggested, her voice steady. "Gather our strongest warriors, Xander. We'll show Trent the strength of our pack." "I'll start scouting for allies. We can't face Trent's pack alone." I looked at my elders, determination burning within me. "We'll defend our pack" The elders nodded in unison, and I k

    Ember's POV I walked down the hallway slowly, this part of the house seemed to be more empty than the path I walked through once I reached the end of the house. I frowned wondering what wild goose chase Ellie sent me on. Xander wasn't here. Why would she send me here for no reason had she completely lost it? angry I turned to leave when I spotted Trent standing there with a wicked smile on his face, holding a sword. My stomach dropped knowing there was no way this was going to end well. “Trent! What are you doing here?” He smirked, the glint of the sword reflecting in the fading light. “Hello, Ember. Fancy meeting you here.” I took a step back, feeling panic rising. “Where’s Xander? He’s supposed to be here, did you do something to him?” Trent chuckled, his voice dripping with malice. “Oh, Xander isn’t coming. Ellie sent you her for me. I’m the one you’re dealing with.” Realization hit me like a punch to the gut. Ellie must have played me, setting me up for Trent. My instinc

    Author's POV. Xander walked hurriedly towards the port. He had booked a safe passage through the tunnel for Ember. It had not been cheap, but he knew it was going to be worth it since he was sure she would appreciate his efforts in helping her get her complete freedom. He arrived at the spot they had both agreed that they would meet. The port was mostly deserted at this time of the day so it was going to be relatively safe and easy for her to wall around without being found by people who work for Trent. He stood around for the next ten minutes, stifling the anxiety that was quickly growing in his chest. After ten minutes, he started to call her name as he looked around the area. It could have been possible that she had missed her way and was staying at another spot instead of the one they had initially agreed to meet. She was supposed to have been here. They had agreed that they would meet at that spot and he had been exactly on time. If there had been any delay or anything t

    Ember's POV. I wasn't moved by her words because I knew that I had a higher backing that would help me out when it was time. All she just needed was the go-ahead from me. Then I knew that she would be able to go ahead to focus on getting the answer. I chuckled softly and looked at her. "Did you want us to respect you, Ellie? You should accord yourself some respect." I told her and she looked at me. "Who the hell are you?!" She challenged me. Her eyes flared at me and I smiled at her. "Are you my husband's concubine?" She asked and I held myself from saying just like you were. That would be a big slap on her face which I didn't really mind though. I liked the fact that she was really struggling to make it work. I didn't care about her and all that she was doing. All I wanted to know is that there would be a need for us to just stay for a while and rest before finally talking about our past life. In just a few years she would be controlling the whole arena but if I stood up rig

    Ember's POV. I couldn't help but feel very remorseful when he came close to me. I was a bit skeptical in the beginning but after a while I finally realized that there might be something missing which I wasn't taking into cognizance. Xander reclined into the seat as he stared at me but I maintained his glare. He wasn't going to unnerve me. So what if he didn't sleep with her? All of this was still his fault. If he had not taken those steps when he finished getting her pregnant, then maybe I wouldn't resent him this much. "You didn't defend me when I needed you the most, I don't think you remember that incident, or do you?" I asked him and he shook his head. "I don't think I do. Why would I purposely not want to talk to you? I was under an influence and believe me when I say that it's something that I regret till this day because of this now we are in deep shit.
