Xander's POV.I turned toward backwards immediately I heard more voices speaking in the background. It was obvious that there was a mistake somewhere. There was nothing wrong with me other than the fact that I was trying to decipher the next move. Twenty wolves had come out of their hiding places and I had to one way or the other make sure that they were dead. I wouldn't have anything to do with people who didn't have the capacity to kill me. However, I wouldn't still underestimate them. They were known to be powerful so I was going to respect that. "Are you really sure that you're here to kill me or you're here to play with me? I mean, I know it's not easy but you need to try again. There's absolutely nothing that will happen if you just go back and tell Trent what I said. I don't think that you possess the ability to do the evil that he wants you all to do. So, let's start again and look for a better way to make this work, can we?" I bargained with them.One of the wolves was star
Ember's POVMy stomach rumbled loudly, hunger pangs getting the best of me and all that i could think of at that time was the fact that there was probably no way for me to escape anymore.The sound of a gate opening alerted me and I looked up. It was Ellie again. What was she doing in the pack for too long? Was she going to be Trent's new wife. She clicked her tongue. "Oh, how the mighty falls. This is very saddening. I don't think that i ever imagined you being in this situation. You are going through hell and I don't envy you at all." She grinned. I was angry but I didn't say a word. This didn't make any sense to me. Why the hell was she coming to mock me?"Are you suddenly mute?" She whispered and I didn't say anything, I was conserving my strength for something very important. "Tell me why you're not happy with all that's been going on. You caused this so why are you acting like we've done anything wrong to you. You made sure that I didn't enjoy my marriage, now it's my turn to
Ember's POV.The sound of hard footsteps hitting the ground sent a shock wave down my spine. It was Trent but I knew that he was here for my head. "Where are you going, Ember?" He asked when I shifted in my position. "Do you know what is happening to you, Ember? How could you? How dare you lie to me and treat me as a fool? I loved you, I freaking loved you but what did you do?""You threw it all away. It's not what you did, I would have killed anyone else who did it but someone who I was trusting enough to tell you my secrets but how did you repay me? Fucking cruelly! It's a shame how you would think that you could continue with this and I would never know. You're very wicked. I think that you should be killed instantly!" He yelled. I recoiled from his sharp rebuke. I knew that he meant every word that he said. "Do you know what this means?! You have shattered every ounce of trust that I ever had! You made me look like a fool! I will never forgive you for that!" He continued yellin
Ember's POV."I've begged you Trent. I've begged you, I didn't do anything to you that Ellie didn't also do. This is not a justification but I can't allow you to blame me for what you're also guilty of." I replied He cocked his head and looked around, thinking about my statement. "You don't just want me to kill you." He replied, "you're trying to justify your actions."I shook my head sadly, this time more confident. He wasn't going to keep on threatening me. I would tell the truth before I died. "Not really. If you want us to go down the memory lane, I will appreciate it if you tell me what Ellie did with you. If you want me to get into that, by all means. I know that you've waited for how many times to tell me. Ellie was pregnant , wasn't she?" I replied.He was confused about what I was saying. "Are you saying that I am a father of a son?" "Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. Now, since you're the one who wants to go down the memory lane, I'll tell you. Ellie was pregnant for y
Ember's POVI watched in delight as the glow in Ellie's eyes dwindled as she gulped hard, struggling against the hold Trent had on her."Trent please you need to calm down""No!" Trent barked, tightening his grip, his face twisted in anger. I leaned closer, biting my bottom lip hard to stop myself from smiling."I can't believe you did this to me" Trent continued coldly."Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you right here and now" His voice echoed through the dungeon, the tension so thick you could cut through it with a sharp silver blade."I can't breathe" Ellie croaked her voice coming out hoarse, her face was pale with her eyes wide, I could tell she was rethinking her life choices."Please Trent" she gasped clawing at his arm, I could see Trent release his grip a little making the corners of my lips turn upside to a frown.His eyes narrowed a bit and he took a deep breath. Was he going to let her go? I feared.“Ellie,” He voiced which was low and threatening. “Give me my son, or
Ember's POV. Dragged to the stake set off numerous alarms to my nerves. They were jittery in anticipation. I knew that my beloved Trent was going to kill me. He was damn serious about it and even if I tried to act all mature, deep down, I was mess. A very big one. All that I was hoping on now was a miracle. I didn't know how possible it would be but I refused to fight the guards and I was sure that they were vet surprised. Getting to know that fighting wasn't going to solve a thing helped me conserve my little energy "I know that you're about to cut me into half but don't you have some conscience, let's even forget about the fact that all of these happened, am I the worst person on earth? Certainly not. I know that I'm not the worst so you guys have to cut me some slack. You're just as worse as I am and I think I'm even better because i feel remorseful, you don't." I fired at Trent's guards. With how much I had been good to them, no one could even defend me. I know that Trent w
Ember's POV.Relief flooded my soul and I was sure that I was finally going to be free. I could almost taste it. "Who the hell are you to think that you could dictate what I want to do?" Trent fired at Xander Xander stood with his legs wide apart and a small smile on his face. "I don't know what you want from me but I'll have you know that there's probably no way that you can kill my mate without also being killed." He replied.I sighed in relief again. It was refreshing to hear him call me his mate. I didn't care about a thing, and I began to untie the bounds on my hands.People's attention were away from me. I was grateful for the distraction. "Are you sure that there is nothing wrong with you, Xander." Trent inquired and I sighed. That was a slap on Xanders face as an Alpha. He wasn't supposed to be called by his name. I knew that he was only tolerating this because he was trying to save me. "You dare call me by my name?" Xander replied as I expected and the whole pack became st
Xander's POV.I was pissed by the way that Trent was acting, he was nothing before me. If he thought that I was going to leave this place without taking my wife along with me, then he was kidding. He was a joker and I was ready to make him realize that. "Seize him." Trent ordered and I stared at him in anger. He thought that he was untouchable but I was ready to school him very well. I didn't need much to make him realize that he had been wasting his time."You better don't do that. If you try it, I promise you that you will fall." I warned them but I didn't know if they knew that I was serious about it.The guards were stalling when they heard it, "Are you second guessing?" Trent asked his warriors but I smiled. He wasn't the only one with such a reputation. If they don't know people they would tend to act unseemly when they were with them. "I don't know what you think about me but I promise you that it's better you stay and not even dare me. Let me iron this out with your Alpha. H
