Ember's POV.

I came to a halt when I walked into the living room and saw my arch nemesis perched on the sofa. It was very disturbing that she was present but something was different this time. She looked comfortable. She had her wicked plans up her sleeves and I knew that I was already doomed.

"Welcome home, Luna Ember. I didn't know that it would take this long to see you." She spoke and I knew that there was a problem

I hummed and watched her stare at her ex boyfriend, Trent. They shared a look which told me all that I needed to know. The problem was what she managed to tell Trent this time.

Trent walked behind me slowly and I turned only to be shocked by the sheer hatred shining in his eyes.

"Is everything okay?" I asked him, while trying to put a gap between us.

He nodded, but walked toward me, grabbed my arm and pulled me against him before planting an arduous kiss on my lips. I didn't know what to do so I followed his lead pretending to be happy about it. " Why are you so co

    Ember's POVWatching Ellie's smirk should have told me a lot. I was looking for a way to make sure that there wasn't a real problem. "I don't understand what it means." I cried but jumped when I heard a shout that made my breath jump out of my skin. "You dare want to lie to me? You're quite bold! Well, I'm sure that you would sorely regret what you have done to me." Trent replied. Trent was beyond angry and I decided to find a way to appease him. How muscles flexed and I was also a bit scared by what happened. "Seize her and take her to her dungeon!" Trent commanded and I sighed softly. I had managed to bite more than I could chew. This was finally backfiring at me and I couldn't help but just stomach it like that.He stared at me as I refused to say a word. "you're not even going to beg me, right?" He demanded and I looked up. He was furious which was right to do but it would be senseless of me to try to make him see what I was going through. There was nothing that I wanted to say

    Xander's POVI fumed as I returned to my pack. I knew that Ember had a lot attached to her. Why did she insist on going back to Trent? Trent was not a good man. He was only good to her because he loved her. The moment he knew that she had tricked him, he would destroy her. It was only painful that no one would be able to save her at that time. I wonder why there was a lot of resistance on her part to follow me.Could I say that guilt had turned into attachment in her case? That wasn't the kind of person I knew her to be and I didn't want a situation where I would have to fight with Trent. My phone rang and I flipped the screen open immediately. "Where are you?" I asked Liam. He was supposed to meet me on the way so that we planned how to get my kids since Ember was proving stubborn. Trent was probably not going to allow her to leave.I was going to do what I didn't want to do right from the start. It wasn't my kind of pattern and I felt a certain way if stuff like this happens. "I'

    Xander's POV.I turned toward backwards immediately I heard more voices speaking in the background. It was obvious that there was a mistake somewhere. There was nothing wrong with me other than the fact that I was trying to decipher the next move. Twenty wolves had come out of their hiding places and I had to one way or the other make sure that they were dead. I wouldn't have anything to do with people who didn't have the capacity to kill me. However, I wouldn't still underestimate them. They were known to be powerful so I was going to respect that. "Are you really sure that you're here to kill me or you're here to play with me? I mean, I know it's not easy but you need to try again. There's absolutely nothing that will happen if you just go back and tell Trent what I said. I don't think that you possess the ability to do the evil that he wants you all to do. So, let's start again and look for a better way to make this work, can we?" I bargained with them.One of the wolves was star

    Ember's POVMy stomach rumbled loudly, hunger pangs getting the best of me and all that i could think of at that time was the fact that there was probably no way for me to escape anymore.The sound of a gate opening alerted me and I looked up. It was Ellie again. What was she doing in the pack for too long? Was she going to be Trent's new wife. She clicked her tongue. "Oh, how the mighty falls. This is very saddening. I don't think that i ever imagined you being in this situation. You are going through hell and I don't envy you at all." She grinned. I was angry but I didn't say a word. This didn't make any sense to me. Why the hell was she coming to mock me?"Are you suddenly mute?" She whispered and I didn't say anything, I was conserving my strength for something very important. "Tell me why you're not happy with all that's been going on. You caused this so why are you acting like we've done anything wrong to you. You made sure that I didn't enjoy my marriage, now it's my turn to

    Ember's POV.The sound of hard footsteps hitting the ground sent a shock wave down my spine. It was Trent but I knew that he was here for my head. "Where are you going, Ember?" He asked when I shifted in my position. "Do you know what is happening to you, Ember? How could you? How dare you lie to me and treat me as a fool? I loved you, I freaking loved you but what did you do?""You threw it all away. It's not what you did, I would have killed anyone else who did it but someone who I was trusting enough to tell you my secrets but how did you repay me? Fucking cruelly! It's a shame how you would think that you could continue with this and I would never know. You're very wicked. I think that you should be killed instantly!" He yelled. I recoiled from his sharp rebuke. I knew that he meant every word that he said. "Do you know what this means?! You have shattered every ounce of trust that I ever had! You made me look like a fool! I will never forgive you for that!" He continued yellin

    Ember's POV."I've begged you Trent. I've begged you, I didn't do anything to you that Ellie didn't also do. This is not a justification but I can't allow you to blame me for what you're also guilty of." I replied He cocked his head and looked around, thinking about my statement. "You don't just want me to kill you." He replied, "you're trying to justify your actions."I shook my head sadly, this time more confident. He wasn't going to keep on threatening me. I would tell the truth before I died. "Not really. If you want us to go down the memory lane, I will appreciate it if you tell me what Ellie did with you. If you want me to get into that, by all means. I know that you've waited for how many times to tell me. Ellie was pregnant , wasn't she?" I replied.He was confused about what I was saying. "Are you saying that I am a father of a son?" "Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. Now, since you're the one who wants to go down the memory lane, I'll tell you. Ellie was pregnant for y

    Ember's POVI watched in delight as the glow in Ellie's eyes dwindled as she gulped hard, struggling against the hold Trent had on her."Trent please you need to calm down""No!" Trent barked, tightening his grip, his face twisted in anger. I leaned closer, biting my bottom lip hard to stop myself from smiling."I can't believe you did this to me" Trent continued coldly."Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you right here and now" His voice echoed through the dungeon, the tension so thick you could cut through it with a sharp silver blade."I can't breathe" Ellie croaked her voice coming out hoarse, her face was pale with her eyes wide, I could tell she was rethinking her life choices."Please Trent" she gasped clawing at his arm, I could see Trent release his grip a little making the corners of my lips turn upside to a frown.His eyes narrowed a bit and he took a deep breath. Was he going to let her go? I feared.“Ellie,” He voiced which was low and threatening. “Give me my son, or

    Ember's POV. Dragged to the stake set off numerous alarms to my nerves. They were jittery in anticipation. I knew that my beloved Trent was going to kill me. He was damn serious about it and even if I tried to act all mature, deep down, I was mess. A very big one. All that I was hoping on now was a miracle. I didn't know how possible it would be but I refused to fight the guards and I was sure that they were vet surprised. Getting to know that fighting wasn't going to solve a thing helped me conserve my little energy "I know that you're about to cut me into half but don't you have some conscience, let's even forget about the fact that all of these happened, am I the worst person on earth? Certainly not. I know that I'm not the worst so you guys have to cut me some slack. You're just as worse as I am and I think I'm even better because i feel remorseful, you don't." I fired at Trent's guards. With how much I had been good to them, no one could even defend me. I know that Trent w

    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.

    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.
