Ember's POV.I stepped screaming when I landed on a couch. My head reeled from the contact and I held in my pain. I turned to see that a few people were already waiting there for me. He was not well known to me but I didn't feel like anything was wrong."Luna, the Alpha said that I should take you away." The man said impatiently while gazing around to stop himself from being taken too like I was.I only stared at him calmly and sighed."What's your name?" "Scott, I am the newest guard in the fold. I work undercover for Alpha Trent too, he mustn't catch us here. He's on his way here as I speak so we better hurry." He urged me and I believed him instantly. It was evident that he was also panicking.It was risky for Trent to find us here. If he did, he was going to get us killed mercilessly. "I know, right? I'm tired." I replied and he picked me up instantly, threw me over his shoulder and began to walk deeper into the hole. The fear of encountering such a rabid wolf that we did the f
Ember's POV. I muttered some unintelligible words under my breath the moment I heard his voice. Trent was becoming obsessed. Why the hell couldn't he just let me be?We didn't speak instead the man carrying me picked up the pace which I was grateful for. I knew that if I stayed a few more minutes with him. I was going to lose my patience and that wouldn't be okay at all. I just wanted to stay on my own and train my kids. "We are going to be as quiet as possible. Do you mind if I use some masking spray?" He asked and I shook my head. If there was even a touch of magic that would make me disappear out of this cave I wouldn't mind but at this point, I guess I had no choice but to bear the smell. "I don't mind it at all. Thank you." I muttered and he chuckled before bringing out something that could help me mask my smell."I can smell you from afar off, tell them that they are doing a poor job at helping you mask your smell. I know where you are and I'm going to make sure that you lose
Ember's POV.The moment I stepped out of the hole, we were faced with a host of armed men waiting for us. Riley cocked his head to stare at them again. It was as though he was confirming what was happening. If there was going to be a change in the way that he was going to be addressed or stuff like that. They suddenly let down their guns and bowed before me, catching me completely off guard. I turned toward my companion and he also reciprocated."Where are you from?" He asked them and they stared at him as though he was speaking latin. "Are you sure that you heard what he said?" I inquired but they didn't respond quickly which made me very wary. "Are you sure that these people are for us?" I asked him "Yes, where are you from?" He inquired and they stared at him for a while before finally agreeing to speak. "We were sent by Alpha Xander. We are the sword nights men that don't worry about anything other than getting you uo safety. If you're ready, we can leave together." They sai
Ember's POV. There was nothing else left for me to do except to take charge of the situation and find a better way to react when it was the right time. A heavier body hit the boat and it shook to the side. Before we knew what was happening, Riley began to splitter blood. I was worried about the latest developments because that wasn't what I wanted for him. I was very scared that a few people were out to destroy many things. I looked at him tiredly as they tried to pump his stomach. They knew that he was going to die, I saw it from the way that the leader shook his head "We can't allow Riley to die, please. You need to do something." I urged them because that man was only trying his best to protect me. I was scared about him. If there wasn't anything that would stop the way I was feeling I wouldn't know how to react. "Luna, I'm sorry but we can't don't anything to revive him ma'am. He was hit by poison and it has eaten deep into his skin. I didn't want to accept that one
Ember's POV. I was also stunned by the amount of hits that the boat suffered, then I realized something. They might have people tied under the boat who were shooting. I knew that my beloved ex husband would do anything to see that I returned to his pack. "Luna, you might want to keep laying on the ground while we tackle these people." He suggested and I nodded. He only mopped the floor where the foam had poured on the floor so that it didn't touch me. I didn't feel like I was poisonous because we were immune to many diseases but I ought to be careful about certain things. I turned to the side and watched the leader sitting on a stool while also bringing out his binoculars. "I can see Alpha Trent bringing out the big guns, his people are jumping underwater. We don't have the resources to fight against them underwater so we might also have to just increase the speed. If we do this, I'm only considering the fuel if it will take us to the length that it should. I don't know how this
Ember's POV.Having realized I had there might be no relationship between these men and Trent, I decided to take law into my hands. The network was so poor but I knew that we had to reach him however way that we could. If we could, we would make him regret his actions, if we couldn't, I would still make him understand that he wasn't living an enviable life. We couldn't have a phone now because most of us jumped blindly into the water but right now we were happy because it would help to put a distance between the two boats. We swam across the island and I was spent when we finally reached dry land."We can't stop now. He might predict this move and want to help to be there but we can't also allow that to happen. Instead of that, we can make sure that we get through to him before it's even too late." The leader of the Night shade spoke and I agreed. I was running on low fuel but adrenaline made me not even realize it yet. If I had my way, I would have broken away quietly but I didn't,
Ember's POV. I might not know too much about the way a pack was run but the most common way that they operated wasn't new to me either. I knew that they operated on a tit for tat system where they would only render certain help because of what you could do for them, not the other way round. If one didn't take a critical look at it, he wouldn't understand it. "Well, you might not have a problem with that, as long as my husband believes that you helped me out. Now, I hope you don't also plan on deceiving me because I might be dead but you would also be in that position, that's how he moves." I warned him. He chuckled as soon as we ascended the porch the door opened and a calming scent hit my nostrils. I was perplexed when someone like this was undergoing some problems like this. It was mind blowing because how was that even possible? If I had the chance I wouldn't have blown it, instead I would have waited till I had something important before making them known to the world. "Such
Xander's POV. A lot of people might be wondering why I was too slow in killing Trent. He wasn't as powerful as we thought he was. It was just one of those things that people did to maintain their reputation.Maybe a few years ago they were on top of the food chain and all of that but as of today there was no one who could boldly speak for him. He didn't know that I had made various researches so that I would be able to get out of this mess. Even Ember didn't know my plans and I intended to keep it that way. If I didn't do it that way she might want to talk sense into my head and try to convince me why it is bad but I as well as everyone knew that Trent didn't deserve kindness. I was a bit distorted in my judgment but after I realized that I was only being played it stopped me from acting and thinking in that manner. Anyone who didn't know this was going to war with his conscience. Everyone knew that he wasn't a good fellow. It was just me who was trying to make sure that I didn't so
