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.

I’d say more than one chapter. Somehow she gave birth if she is feeding the babies. Trent has a beta and she is giddy to see him. I’ve felt like several chapters were missing some things here and there but this is a massive chunk

  • My Luna Hates Me: Winning Back His Luna's Heart   Knowing him

    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

  • My Luna Hates Me: Winning Back His Luna's Heart   A Dash of Warning

    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's pov."What happened? Was it a nightmare?" Trent asked, his eyes searching mine.I had been yelling in my sleep and he'd heard everything."Yes, it was."I answered, holding onto him tightly. I had no idea what that dream meant. Was the moon goddess trying to tell me something? "What happened?" He asked as he rubbed my back, trying to comfort me."I dreamt about our babies and…"I told him everything about the nightmare."It was just a dream," he said in response, "It was probably just your imagination, maybe you watched way too many movies…""It didn't feel like a dream," I countered, looking up at him.It really felt so real, I was surprised that I woke up."It was. Just forget about it, please. You know you are approaching your due date. You can't afford to let silly dreams spoil your mood. You have to be strong," he said with a wide smile"Okay," I nodded and Trent pulled me up and led me to the bath. We stayed in the bath for thirty minutes, talking, playing, and coming

    "What?" I stutter, pretending as though I didn't understand what was going on. My heart pounds a bit and I look towards him."You mentioned secrets, what was that about?" He inquired."Okay, I guess it was just a Freudian slip. I mean it's not as if I meant it. I just..." I trailed off. He stared at me probably waiting to see what would happen but I kept on staring at him in wonder. His eyes roamed over me and I didn't say anything. "Wait, are you sure that you're okay?" He inquired and tried to place his hand on my neck. I nodded and smiled at him trying to make sure that he wasn't thinking about what happened. Looking at him, I turned away before smiling again and walking away. Well, I'd call it an attempt because he yanked my hand softly and I fell against his body. "Hey, be careful." I said and I saw an apologetic look cross his face. "Are you sure that you are not going to be due very soon?" I glared at him playfully, "Are you calling me fat, Trent?" I inquired.He kissed my

    Ember's POV“Congratulations Alpha Trent, your sister is pregnant.” I watch my husband look very confused. He looked back at me and then looked at the doctor. My hands tighten around his arms.“Sorry, doctor I don't quite understand. How could she be pregnant? She was unmated and unmarried. Please Doctor check again.” he said, I could feel his muscles recoiling in tension. “Calm down for a moment. Let's listen to what the Doctor has to say. Doctor please continue, are you sure she is pregnant?” I asked.The doctor seemed ready to run underground as he saw that his Alpha wasn't showing the reaction he had expected. He stuttered as he looked at me for help.“There's nothing to do about that, we've run all the tests and done the blood work too. Those don't lie. She is indeed pregnant.”“No! Do it again, run another test, change the machines I don't bloody care about. Elise couldn't possibly be pregnant. How could she? How does an unmarried sister to an Alpha end up pregnant? I don't ac

    Ember's POV. He freezes at my words but at this point, I do not care anymore. What I cared about the most is that there must be something that would stop him from killing an innocent man. Moreover, why wasn't he killing Elise for agreeing to sleep with the warrior instead of making a mess of himself thinking that he was doing the right thing? I stared at him as a vein threatened to pop out of his neck. He was going to kill me already but I didn't mind. "See, let's find a way around it. I'm not sure that Elise would be happy that you're about to kill her fiance or whatever they are right now. I don't want you to think about it this way." Trent stormed off and I sighed tiredly, this was a great problem that I didn't know what to do about it. " Trent, wait!" I called and followed after him but stopped abruptly when I saw him glaring at me. I didn't want to push it so I just had to stop. I went back to the warrior who was bloodied, unable to do anything and I stared at him tiredly.

    Ember's POVI was annoyed by Greg's stubbornness. I'd never seen someone so out of touch with reality but I made a decision that I wouldn't argue with him one bit. He needed someone to explain to him that he couldn't rule this pack. Maybe we would have to wait for his sister, Elise, to talk to him. Anyway, it was their family and I was ready to leave it to them however they pleased. I marched upstairs ignoring them completely. The headache had assaulted me again and I needed to rest. Taking a glance at my phone I discovered that it was almost eight p.m and I lay in bed slowly drifting into sleep. At midnight, the rumbles of my stomach woke me up and I immediately rose from the bed. Dry mouthed, I didn't waste time going downstairs, I headed straight to the kitchen and retrieved a bottle of water from the fridge. After that, I turned to the door ignoring my rumbling stomach.I heard the creaking sounds of the door and I peeped. it was none other than Greg trying to sneak in. Wasn't

    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

    Three years later"Mummy, can I have a taste now?" One of the boys asked and Ember shook her head, looking down at him with a smile as he had his hands around her legs."Don't be such a baby. 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. He looked like he just walked out of the shower. He rounded the counter, wrapping his arm around her waist, pulling her flush against his body."This smells delicious," He closed his eyes, taking a sniff. His stomach growled in response and Ember laughed."Easy there, big boy. Soon" She muttered.Xander leaned into her, brushing his lips against the shell of her ears."But taste be

    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

  • My Luna Hates Me: Winning Back His Luna's Heart   Battle Call

    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.
