Ember's POV

"I think she's entering into labor!" Was the last thing that I heard before blacking out. I fell into a zen state. It was almost as though I was floating in the air and waiting for the pin to drop.

Sadly it didn't, so I enjoyed the cool breeze that blew through my skin. All of a sudden, I felt a sharp pain that went straight to my head. Color me surprised but my eyes flew open immediately. I was shocked to see a few people walking around. My vision, hazy and fluttery. I almost felt as though I couldn't see properly.

Someone stared at me and blinked again. " She's awake. Didn't you give her the right dosage of anesthesia?" The female voice inquired and I was a bit tired of the way they were screaming. In my head I was like, can someone just let me breathe without making me feel like I have done something wrong?

I couldn't move any part of my body, nor scream to let out the pain that I felt. It was excruciating and I felt my bones aching. "Get me a shot! She needs to sleep.

    Ember's POV"How are you feeling?" Trent asked me and I shrugged. U remembered everything that he said and here I was trying to figure out the right reaction to give to him. "Are you sure that you are fine? I can see that you are a bit off. Do you need the doctor, should I call him? I mean, is there anything that you want me to do? I could..." I placed a warning hand on his arm. He was making a fuss out of nothing. There was a way that he moved that was a bit suspicious to me. Although he didn't know what was happening, I was waiting for the ball to drop. "I'm good. I promise, I'm just tired I wanted to take a nap before you walked in." I lied and he stared at me for a minute before wearing a confused expression. I was thinking about what else I could do though so that I didn't have any problems.It was two weeks after childbirth and her father had only come twice to visit her.

    Ember's POV"Who's Xavier?" I repeated and he stared at me. I didn't know what happened along the line but I was also pretty sure that he was serious, he looked offended."Who's Xavier?" "I guess I won't know seeing that you were muttering his name in the dream and almost moaning before I stopped you."I rolled my eyes. " Now, that's a complete lie because I would never moan to another man's name. I don't even know who Xavier is." I responded in an affronted tone. He would lose his shit if he knew that it was none other than my beloved ex-husband. That was his middle name that no one knew about."Okay, maybe the moaning part was a bit of exaggeration but you know what I mean." I shook my head vehemently. " No, I don't know what you mean and I pick an offense to that statement. I understand that things are a bit awkward between us but I'm not some sex starved doll that seeks pleasure anywhere." I replied, making sure to glare at him while at it. He placed his hands in front of me in

    Ember’s POVA power struggle was happening quietly that I didn't want to speak about. She was expecting that I replied to her antics but I was hell-bent on showing her that she was not up to the standard. I'd come to learn that ignoring them always did the trick, they say that they don't mind all the time but they get more pained There was a knock on my door and I sighed in relief. Sonia walked in with a pretty smile on her face as she stared at me softly. I stared at her too. " Kindly help me with the kids. I need to sleep." Having a sister-in-law was supposed to help relieve the burden but it only added to the mental stress that I was already going through. " So, tell me what have you been up to regarding the designs that we spoke about?" I hadn't stepped my foot downstairs for a week because I was feeling very tired, lethargic even. If I complained, I would have to go to the hospital which frankly I didn't want to do. Her eyes darted toward mine with a small smile on her face.

If it's not for the minute things you don't have peace. Isn't it always shameful to you? If it isn't to you, I get pissed a lot." I replied.With this, the power struggle ended and Greg removed his hand from Anthony's neck. "What would happen if a visitor was coming in at the same time seeing you as a nuisance? I don't think you reason at all." I fired at them. They were pissing me off. It was always one issue or the other."Don't speak to us like toddlers. We aren't the cause of the fight between you and Trent." I sighed. I understood what they were trying to do but I wouldn't fall for it one bit. " You are trying to get me riled up but you can try again. I'm stating the truth unapologetically. If you're offended, why don't you pierce yourself with a spear or bang your head against the wall."

    Ember's POVI swiveled at Trent's words. His eyes bulged out as he stared at me, intense anger shining in his eyes as the poor guard was being dragged away. There were certain things that made me a bit tiring to watch or even handle. His anger was one of them."Tell me, what are you snooping around for?" He asked me and I shrugged, stalling to find a plausible excuse that wouldn't reveal what exactly was going on. If he wanted me to actually explain what was going on, he would do more than threaten me because it wouldn't work at all. "You're blowing it out of proportion. It's not what you think.""I heard what he said from the beginning. In what area am I wrong?" He raised his brows in a questioning manner laced with disbelief. He knew that I was lying but sadly there was nothing that he could do to get the information out of me."Are you telling me that I'm crazy? Is that what this is? You should know that it won't work.

I was also prepping by the side for the celebratory dinner that was scheduled to be held soon. Trent mandated that I didn't lift a finger but that was not going to work because I wanted everything to be perfect."Sonia, are you sure that the orders have been settled?" I asked her when she walked into my room later in the evening. I was not allowed to go out no matter how much I wanted because I was swamped with work It was not easy to find Trent around these days, the construction for the academy that he planned on running had begun. I guess that was part of the reason he was having the celebratory dinner too. To rub it in the faces of those who refused to yield to his words. The greedy lots who didn't want to do any work, yet enjoyed the fruit of someone else's labor. "That's a relief. I would be needing your help wi

It was a sign of respect that had to be followed to the T I didn't have time to differentiate between their faces and names. it would have been better for me to be left alone than to be involved in stuff like this but I guess I had no choice.My eyes wandered to the door.

    Ember's POVI made sure that I shot him a confused look. I was the epitome of confusion, " What do you mean?" I replied, applauding myself internally for maintaining a calm composure when I was indeed trembling inside. It was a lot to process, seeing that he might have some information and was just waiting for confirmation. I'd be damned if there was a problem from my angle. Of course, I'll wait to be able to stop him from fostering the idea. Trent stared at me for the longest before shaking his head silently. I didn't know what he was thinking and honestly, I didn't care because I wouldn't allow him to know what I was up to." I don't know, you tell me." He replied cryptically and I raised a brow again to stare at him. Was he kidding me right now? I was sure that he must have been kidding because this was just an entire child's play if he thought that I was going to admit to knowing anything about him.

    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.

    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

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.

    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.
