Ember's POV

“Keep quiet,” Trent said. “I have nothing to do with that woman again, bygones are bygones. The past is the past so please just ease off on that,” He said, shifting his weight and putting his hand in his pocket and bringing out a stopwatch. He flipped it open and glanced at it.

At this moment something struck my mind. It seemed as if it was this wife that left him that Elise was talking about. I frowned and she spoke again. “Being divorced doesn't mean you need to hate her though,” Elise chuckled. “I mean, you can still be allies and all but you just don't need to be intimate is all.”

Well, my guess was correct it was indeed the former wife that Elise was talking about. “No,” Trent said. “I don't want anything to do with that woman anymore.

She is nothing but a liar and a betraying son of a…” he stopped talking and just sighed. “I just don't want anything to do with that woman anymore,” he replied.

I shifted my weight a bit and my feet seemed to make a single scratch aga

    Ember’s POVIt was already glooming darkness when I looked outside and saw Trent making his way to my quarters, probably to tell me one thing or another.I felt him walk in as I sat before my dressing table combing out my thick hair and turned at the sound of him entering.“Lovely evening is it not?” I said in my usual soft voice and he smiled nodding his head.“Lovely evening it is…” he held back the next thing he wanted to say for a moment, I felt his lingering gaze on my body probably taking in the utter ethereal beauty of which I was.I smirked to myself, my own thoughts made me giggle.“If there's something you want to say you ought to say it now.” I finished brushing my hair and turned to face him.He was as charming as ever.“Well, I'm leaving the pack Ember. I'm going on an important journey and I need you to manage the pack while I'm gone. Can you do that for me?’ he asked in all earnesty looking at me.I gave a slight frown as my expressions changed whilst looking at him.“A

    Ember’s POVI walked down the staircase wondering where everyone was, the whole atmosphere seemed damp and I wondered if there was an occasion I wasn’t informed about.I walked further to the dining table and I only found Elise there eating, with a very bright and delighted smile on her face. I was quite surprised to see Elise this happy.I didn’t mean it was anything wrong for her to be happy but normally she was with a frown, her temper never allowed her to be that overjoyed time:“Good morning Elise.” I greeted taking my seat directly in front of her on the dining table. She finally looked up at me even if she knew I was standing at the corner all this while.“Good morning Ember, how are you feeling? I hope you had a good night's rest?” She inquired still with her welcoming smile plastered on her face. “I must say I am very impressed with this attitude of yours. What’s making you so happy? It’s been a long while since I have seen you overjoyed, what good news?” I awake calmly. I

    Ember’s POV I was busy arranging some of my clothes back into my wardrobe. I was looking for a particular cloth and it took me a while to find it. However, when I finally did, I already had a mess with all my clothes and I decided to arrange them myself. I didn’t want to bother Rose for anything because this was a mess I made myself. I didn’t believe how people here treated maids, especially Elise. They were people too and even if they were supposed to work, they deserved to be treated with respect. When insulted and revoked for no reason they start acting up. I never really saw the need for I’ll treat anyone just because one is above them. It was going to take a while for anyone here to understand that. Elise was just trying to be valid. She just wanted an obvious difference between her and the maids. And I didn’t know why she had a beef with Rose especially but I wasn’t planning on allowing her to ridicule her. My phone buzzed as I picked it up to check who it was calling m

    Ember's POVI was sitting on the couch relaxing when I felt a vibration, followed by the familiar ringtone of my phone. I picked up the phone to see Trent's name appear on the screen.He was calling back 2 hours after the last phone call. I answered the call. "Hi love, it's me Trent," he said."I know it's you," I replied with a smile. "Are you still home?" Trent asked me."Of course I am still at home. Do you need anything?" I asked him curiously."Yeah I do. I'm having the accountant come over at the house sometime before noon and I want you to help me cross-check the financials when he gets there," Trent said."Okay sure, I will do that," I replied."Okay thank you so much," Trent answered. With that, the conversation ended. I sat back on the couch to continue my rest while waiting for the accountant to arrive. I was almost drifting to sleep when a maid came to inform me that the accountant was around. I picked up my phone to check the time so that it was only 11:00 a.m. The ac

    Ember's POV I didn’t waste another second to ring up Trent. Part of me was in disbelief at what I had just heard. The phone rang once, then twice and then he picked up. “Hello?” He asked. Almost out of breath from holding my breath for too long while waiting for him I heaved. “Trent, there is something wrong with the accounts,” I hurriedly said before he tried to end the call.I was certain he was in the middle of something important and I was unwanted company at the moment. He made a sound of annoyance and sighed.“What accounts and what is wrong?” He asked. I blanked. “I... I don’t know. We just checked and... Look, I swear, I don’t even understand how that is happening but whoever managed the account was managing it wrong, the figures don’t match but... look they’re...” He huffed. “Listen, I don’t have the time for... Can we reschedule?” “Just listen to her Trent,” Elise said, coming to my aid. I breathe out a sigh of relief. “Alright. What’s the issue?” He asked. Elise to

    Ember's POV. The sun's rays were what woke me up from my bed the next morning. I stood and rushed downstairs to see what was happening in the pack. I met Rose who was about to take the sharp corner, "Hey, where's the Alpha?" "On the training ground." She responded. "How long has he been there?" I asked further. "Three hours ago." She answered and I glanced at the large clock. Trent was supposed to return any moment from now and I was giddy with excitement. I missed him with a passion. Weird, I knew. Done with the general inspections in the house, I went back to my room to nap a little. Not twenty minutes into napping, I sensed that Trent was in the house. Quickly, I ran downstairs and there he was in the middle of the living room, looking handsome as ever, talking to his beta. His eyes veered to where I stood on the staircase, staring at him and he smiled, walking toward me. I practically flew into his hands as he got nearer to me. “You are back!” “In the flesh my love,

    Ember’s pov“What is your biggest dream?” Trent asked me in the middle of shopping the next day.“To have a happy family,” I said with a sad smile. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.He nodded and said, “I’m working on it. Soon we’ll have that.,”I smiled at his thoughtfulness and squeezed his hands reassuringly. It was a sunny day and Trent and I were in the mall shopping for clothes, shoes, and bags.He’d come into my room this morning and told me to dress up and that we were going shopping. At first, I had stared at him, disoriented from being woken up from sleep but I had smiled up at him, excited by his sudden show of love.I had dressed up so fast and we had left so fucking fast too that I only caught my breath in the car.“These are all gorgeous,” I said excitedly as we entered a café in the mall. We had been shopping for almost three hours straight and Trent had asked me to pause for a bit so we could eat.Seated in the café, Trent called for a waitress and we both ordered fries an

    Ember's POV“Do we have to do this?” I asked Trent a month later in a whiny voice. He was preparing to hold a ball in my honor. It was an annual ball he held for the pack and apparently this year, he was making it bigger than he usually did.He was inviting a lot of packs, their Alpha, and some of their elders. I wasn’t exactly up for it. I was not a fan of crowds but I didn’t have a choice. It was something Trent wanted and it was his way to introduce me to the pack and his friends from other packs.It made no sense to me but I didn’t want to make him cancel it on my behalf. Besides, it was the pack’s custom and tradition. I wasn’t about to get a sore thumb in all of this.“Yes, my love you have to,” Trent said. He’d just come to tell me that the seamstress was here to take my measurements.I scrunched up my nose and frowned before nodding reluctantly.“Fine, I’ll go.”I said, rolling my eyes. I didn’t understand why it had to be a designer seamstress. We could easily have just bough

    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

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.
