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's POV.Relief flooded my soul and I was sure that I was finally going to be free. I could almost taste it. "Who the hell are you to think that you could dictate what I want to do?" Trent fired at Xander Xander stood with his legs wide apart and a small smile on his face. "I don't know what you want from me but I'll have you know that there's probably no way that you can kill my mate without also being killed." He replied.I sighed in relief again. It was refreshing to hear him call me his mate. I didn't care about a thing, and I began to untie the bounds on my hands.People's attention were away from me. I was grateful for the distraction. "Are you sure that there is nothing wrong with you, Xander." Trent inquired and I sighed. That was a slap on Xanders face as an Alpha. He wasn't supposed to be called by his name. I knew that he was only tolerating this because he was trying to save me. "You dare call me by my name?" Xander replied as I expected and the whole pack became st
Xander's POV.I was pissed by the way that Trent was acting, he was nothing before me. If he thought that I was going to leave this place without taking my wife along with me, then he was kidding. He was a joker and I was ready to make him realize that. "Seize him." Trent ordered and I stared at him in anger. He thought that he was untouchable but I was ready to school him very well. I didn't need much to make him realize that he had been wasting his time."You better don't do that. If you try it, I promise you that you will fall." I warned them but I didn't know if they knew that I was serious about it.The guards were stalling when they heard it, "Are you second guessing?" Trent asked his warriors but I smiled. He wasn't the only one with such a reputation. If they don't know people they would tend to act unseemly when they were with them. "I don't know what you think about me but I promise you that it's better you stay and not even dare me. Let me iron this out with your Alpha. H
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
