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
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
Ember's POVI groaned softly, making a little turn around the bed, but I didn't feel anything. My hands went further to feel his chest, but the only thing I felt was the soft pillow close to me.That was weird because today was weekend that we had promised to spend together.As a result of this, I opened my eyes slowly, fluttering my brows twice to get a clearer vision of the room, only to realize that Xander was no longer beside me"Morning love”I heard the sweet and seductive voice of Xander, and it immediately made a smile curve up my lips. Raising the pillow closer to me, I rested it against my chin and continued to stare at Xander."You're up so early? You promised you'd stay with me today." I pouted.He chuckled slightly, "You look so cute when you do that” walking closer to me and held my chin. What I felt next was his soft lips on mine, greedily I held it and sucked on his lips while stylishly trying to lure him back to bed."I'm sorry baby, but I'd have to break that promise
Ember’s POVSo many dark thoughts filled my mind as I tried everything possible to take my mind away from his betrayal.It’s been a week since my heart was shattered and my whole future was left in disarray, none of the methods I had tried was working so far.The worst part of it all was finding out on our anniversary, I wondered what he thought upon seeing the preparations I had made.This was the worst gift he had given me and it wiped all good memories we had created.The question of why he had done it still haunted me but I didn't have the courage to ask him to his face nor did I have courage to listen to his explanation, I found it better to avoid knowing the truth.Seeing it hurt me more than his confession and worse still this wasn't a one-night mistake but something the man I had called my husband has done multiple times until he finally hit the jackpot.My methods of pushing him away were quite extreme because I had started sleeping in another room and avoided eating at the s
Ember’s POV“Since this has been all you have wanted to do throughout the weak and even going weak to bring Grace here to plead your case, let me hear it” I scornfully began.“Baby…”“Your time starts now and you have just 15 minutes to give me a reason valid enough to explain why I saw you with that woman and why she is pregnant for you too!”.Still on his knees, with tears rolling down his eyes he continued pleading for forgiveness.“I never cheated intentionally, I just didn’t know how to come clean to you about it, I was ashamed of myself and our vows that I failed to keep”.“A mistake you say or it only became one when she became pregnant?”“Tell me Xander, What part of it was a mistake, the part where you poured your seeds into another woman or the part where she got pregnant and your secret had to be out!”“It’s not that, Babe…”“Lecture me!”“I just didn’t know how to tell you, Ember…I thought I was doing the right thing by keeping it away from you so I spent nights…”“I knew
Ember’s POVI didn’t know how to feel about going to meet my husband’s side woman but knowing I had Xander beside me and not her gave me a sense of comfort.Upon arriving at the chamber where Ellie was waiting, she immediately falls on her knees.“Luna, I am sorry, and accept the blame to be mine, Xand…Alpha Xander never intended to touch me but h just happened to be at the wrong place when I wasn’t in control of my body”“I know my presence here isn’t ethical but Xand…Alpha Xander requested I stay until after the baby is born then I will be out of your lives for good”I didn’t know if her apology as supposed to make me feel any better because it further more aggravated my anger, having both of them drag who takes the blame was comical.If she wasn’t already nurturing the thought, I am certain that she would want to take her place after giving the Alpha an heir or daughter.“I have nothing to say to you then you shouldn’t be kneeling in your condition” I said nonchalantly.“Ember...”
Ember POVI watched in disappointment as he left, banging the door after him.Fear was beginning to slowly fill me up as I could see our marriage crumbling underneath me and I was definitely the one that was going to lose out on everything.Although I had told him to but I didn’t expect that he would but rather try to convince me that my doubts were nothing but mere doubts.Thew betrayal, deceit and now this? How much more was I going to bear to protect the name Luna November McCray.The dark enveloped as well as dark thoughts of what my marriage was turning out to be…no matter how he apologized, I still couldn’t help but blame him for exposing this family.I was angrier at myself for letting them get to me so easily, it was obvious that this was what Ellie and her scheming dad wanted all along.Xander choose to be too blind to see it and if by any chance I was to mention this to hearing, it would flip the tables around and make my position here threatened, giving Ellie the upper hand
Ember's POV"Oh my goodness! Oh my god!" Ellie screamed in pain as I walked closer to her. She was bleeding and I tried to help her up. Wow, I didn't know that she was not feeling too well."Don't touch me! Get away from me!" She screamed and I rolled my eyes. She was allowing her sentiment to cloud her sense of reasoning. What was wrong with her? "You should let me help you up. You can barely walk." "And whose fault is that?!" Her eyes narrowed at me accusingly and I rolled my eyes. Of course, she was going to make it look like I was the one behind her predicament. If karma was a bitch.I ignored her and grabbed her hand, but she slapped my hands away and I rolled my eyes again and pulled her even harder. It became a tussle between both of us and I was annoyed at the way she was behaving. "Are you deliberately being stupid right now? You can see that you are in a mess." I snapped. I didn't have the time for the exaggerated pain she was claiming to experience. She let out a piercin
