Xabder's POVThe moment I saw Ellie approaching, I felt disgust well up inside of me. It was almost as though she had washed herself in mud. The feeling was unexplainable. It wasn't as if I liked her in the first place but this was more of disgust. There was nothing wrong in her moving around since I was the one who allowed it in the first place but right now, I felt like she just had to leave no matter what my father said. She smiled when she crossed the threshold and I stared at her blankly, there was no way that I was going to take her seriously. She could try to do all she could but all that I could feel for her was resentment. "You look stressed, do you need anything?" She offered but I shook my head and that was me being polite. "I brought tea for you since I heard that you skipped breakfast." She said, I stared at her for a second and returned my focus to my books. "Are you mad at me? I know that we might have begun our relationship on a rocky begining but we can still mak
Ember's POVI jumped when I felt a hand touch me. It was no one but the infamous Trent. My head was resting against the wall and I was sure that my eyes bulged out of my sockets. "What's the matter? Are you okay?" I inquired, before casting another glance a the kids on the bed "Oh, it's nothing... I don't know... Why are you so scared?" "I'm not scared. I'm just a bit wary, that's all." I responded, searching to face for the animosity that laid in them a few days ago. It was missing and it made me wonder if he was messing with my emotions on purpose. There was absolutely no way that I wouldn't be able to figure out that there was a problem somewhere."You do know that there is absolutely no way that we can escape from the stress that comes with taking care of a child, so I brought some tea for you. Would you care for some?" I was still startled by how forgiving he was? Other men would have probably done something against me but he was only staring at me.I stared at him calmly. "
Ember's POVGetting out of a hard relationship didn't seem like the perfect way to work seeing that he was ready to be a responsible father. Trent was all shade of kind so I decided to stick with him, but the problem now was the lady who was ready to be a pest in our lives, unwilling to leave. It made me sick that I had to keep on waiting on her and all of that. If there was nothing else for me to do, I would have requested that I just left but my kids weren't still in the best shape.Trent had informed me that a physician would be coming in today which got me angry. Why the hell would he allow someone that we didn't know from Adam to come to treat them? But at the risk of sounding suspicious, I agreed. That led me to this point where I was. I had to tell another maid to get a message across to Xander but this time around with a better option. She went with blood bags. She didn't understand what was happening and I didn't send her any letter. I only told her to ask him to call me.
Xander's POV"Did you know that Ember's twins are finally healed? I can't imagine how happy she would be. If I were she I would have called for a celebration but I also understand if she wants to keep it under wraps." Grace spoke animatedly beside me not caring to see if I was interested or not."Hmm.""I was even told that she and Trent are about to renew their marital vows. I think that's so sweet. I would love to have someone who makes life beautiful for me that I would consider marrying twice." She continued and I groaned. I wasn't inclined to hear any good things about their union when Trent was living the life that I was supposed to have. "You will, he wasn't just the one for you," I replied so that the love for the idea of marriage didn't push her into the wrong hands again. If another man hurt my sister, I would kill him. it was a given and I was going to stand by that."You don't need a man to make you happy. You're happy already. When the right person comes along, I'll kno
Ember's POVI was busy smiling as people offered their congratulations. This was lovely and I didn't want to change it for the world. I was happy, Trent was also happy. Finally we were going to be able to deal with naysayers in the form of Ellie.Surprisingly too, Ruel didn't return, Sonia was normal and it seemed like life had normalized. "Do you feel that?" Trent whispered to me and I looked up only for him to catch my lips with his.I smiled at him, letting it slide because I was happy. Life was finally good, I was free from the doctor's unnerving stare. "Feel your heartbeat as you love to say?" "Nah, I don't say that." he joked and I smiled at him. "You have such beautiful eyes. We said that we weren't going to invite a lot of people but guess who has a lot of visitors downstairs? We." I sighed, "I don't feel too good with a lot of people present. Do you know who is out to hurt them? This time around too, I won't be allowing anyone to move around their perimeter."He hummed and
Xander's POVAfter Ellie left I was a bit tired so I decided to take a nap. However that would mean skipping the thing that I had in mind to do. There was a bit of annoyance in her eyes and we traded words as usual but that didn't stop the fact that I was only trying to get my samples.I glanced at the hair that was inside the Ziploc bag that I was given from the hospital. That was going to help matter a lot. I didn't want it to get to the next day. As a firm believer in doing what was necessary at the right time I rose and went toward the door. I needed a confirmation today. That would explain the reason I was feeling this way. I turned sideways and saw that there was a group of men standing outside the house. From their scent, they reeked of being high class wolves so I decided to wait to see what they were here for.I watched my guards talk to them then after a while they began to walk backwards. "tell them to come to the meeting room." I told one of the guards through the mindli
Xander's POVI didn't waste any time in calling an urgent meeting with Zion in my grip."This is the face of the criminal who is tipping Zane off. His name is Zion as you all know." I announced parading him before the pack naked. This wasn't what I would like to do to a grown man but he pushed me. "Now, if anyone tries this stunt, I wouldn't hesitate to kill all your family members. So before you do anything stupid, know that there are people attached to you who would bear the brunt. I'm not remorseful about my decisions." "Prepare the stakes!" I ordered and the warriors climbed on the elevated platform and began to arrange the woods properly. Well this was the best way to treat a traitor. There were a lot of them which he had told me but I was going to pick them up at night. "Place him there!" I yelled and threw him to them. They caught him and laid him on the sticks. His wife rushed out and pushed her daughter backwards while an elderly pack member covered the girl's eyes. "Ple
Ember's POVGetting back to work was a good thing because I could finally use my brains. It wasn't good if I had to wait all these while to resume. I didn't know how much I missed working until I saw the familiar walls of my factory. Sonia was all smiles as she walked toward me and I smiled at her in response. "I've missed us being here." "Yeah, me too." She stared at me as I thought about how to repay her for her kindness. "What do you dream of having but don't yet have?" I asked stylishly. She shrugged, "I don't know. I have come farther than I expected. I don't think I want more. I'm quite grateful for how far I've come."I shook my head. Was this humility or she was just trying to push me away?"I don't think anyone should be complacent with a position. We all aspire to be greater, you should be the same." She shook her head. "I don't know, I can't think of anything right now." She said, "I'm being sincere, if I wanted anything I would have spoken." She reassured me and I st
