Xander's POV

I sat down in the office, a little jaded even before I began working. The stack of files in front of me almost made me want to just step out and have a drink. However I had no choice than to complete my work.

The silence in the room helped with my focus, my thoughts didn't wander away since there were no sounds to distract it. Although, most of the time, being a werewolf; an alpha at that, it was quite difficult to concentrate.

My senses would sometimes pick up things that were far away from it just because the wind is with them. However, control was the key factor in a wolf's strength and I have learnt that the hard way multiple times. My innate character does not amount to much control.

I flipped through the second batch of files, signing and balancing what is needed. I exhaled after a while and decided to rest against the back of my chair. It was a difficult job running an entire pack, but I was the fittest to get the job done.

While I was relaxing, my senses picked

    Ellie's POVI stormed out of his room angrily, my entire emotions swirling against each other. I walked forward, ignoring every focus, my entire being was so furious. I took the corridor that led to my room, pushed open the door in anger and I was about to enter when my cloth got entangled with the door handle.I tried forcing my way in but it drew me back. I angrily pulled it out, tearing the arm of the cloth in the process while I slammed the door and gave it a kick. I was so enraged and the entire scene that unfolded now frustrated me the most. I laid my back against the door and slowly slid downwards as I found myself sitting down on the floor and crying to myself. I felt as if everything I had worked for was about to get upside down. I cried for a while, devoiding myself of thoughts just allowing the primal hatred and sadness to grip me. After a while I decided to give myself a bit of focus. I remembered how the scene had unfolded with Xander. How I'd explained everything to him

    Xander's PovA sigh escaped my mouth as I unconsciously stared at the wall clock, counting the hours and minutes that passed by. I was certain I was simply waiting for something interesting to happen and there came a light knock on my door.Knock…knock..knock.A smirk formed on my face as I stood, wondering who might be disrupting my peace oh so early in the day, “Who can that be?” I thought to myself. There was only one person who had the guts to act this way with me and I sighed when before turning. I graced forward and slowly unwound the knob on the door until a little creek that I was able to peer through was created.That pink floral dress was irreplaceable in my mind as I looked into my sister's eyes. It was but a minute later she jarred the door open and stormed inside pushing me backwards. She wouldn't be the death of me. Grace was always like that, but an expression of skepticism formed on my face as I watched her look frantically around the room.“Where's Ellie, Xander?” Sh

    Ember's PovThe day had finally come for the big celebration! Something both I and Trent had worked so hard for. I was glad he wanted to have a big party to celebrate our babies.He had gone through so much to get to the point he was now and I was honestly so proud of him.All the decorations were already placed around the house. The ribbons were beautiful in its bright pink and blue colors representing our babie's genders snuggled at every corner of the house. Balloons of gold hanging from the ceilings as the smell of freshly cooked food and pastries filled the house that was cleaned spotless.We began to welcome guests not too long after dawn broke, a few helping out to set the tables and other preperatries that were left.There were still a number of tables outside on the porch that hadn't been dressed yet and I wanted to specially take care of each one myself.An inexplicable joy bubbled in my heart as I saw the number of dignitaries and more guests gathered up outside by the door

    Ember's POV I stood at the balcony watching the scenery. The celebration had extended to the middle of the night and I was waiting for them to end it. Men were busy drinking, while women were dancing. It was almost a carnival. I was tired, yet my heart was also racing as fast as possible. I wondered what would have happened if I didn't leave at the time that I did. How dare he tell me that he was going to collect the kids? This was going to be the end of me.I would fight him tooth and nail to make sure that my kids remained by my side, he could go to hell for all I cared and I meant it. It was not going to be easy but I would make sure of it. The door opened and Trent walked in. He was smiling and I tried to reciprocate but I failed. I was thinking about what to say but I didn't say anything.He stared at me for a minute, "why are you hiding out here?" I shrugged and put up a smile for him. " You don't think that there's a problem? Why did you invite your arch nemesis?" I asked h

    Ember's POVWhen we returned from the factory, Trent was pissed and I was feeling very sorry for him. It wasn't easy to have something stop the flow of income into one's life. It was annoying. I trailed carefully behind him and was waiting to see what he would do. It was obvious that he was angry beyond measure and I was thinking about what I wanted to do.It was my business that got destroyed. It was weird that I had a feeling that the man wasn't the culprit but I didn't know how to prove it.For someone who was already doubting my words, throwing into this mix was only going to compound the problem.Our maids were running Helter skelter trying to make sure that food was ready for breakfast but if I had my way, I'd send all the Alphas away. I didn't want to have anything to do with that man. His presence unnerved me especially because I knew what he was up to."I'll be in the kitchen." I announced so that he'd not search for me. "Sonia,lead the way." I told her and she nodded. When

    Ember's POVI knocked on the door of the culprit while I was waiting to see what she was going to do. She couldn't do anything, at least with people around.Ellie poked her head out of the door and I smiled. It was show time and I was waiting to see how this would play out. It was going to be a great event which I will never forget.``I need to see you privately." I told her.Her eyes ran from head to toe and I waited to see what her reaction would be when I finally told her the reason I was here. She would flip a bottle but that was her business. I didn't have the time nor the energy to stomach anything that she might have planned. "So, tell me, why did you steal my jewelry last night? And before you start denying and making a fuss out of anything, nobody knows that you're the culprit except you tell them. So just head in quietly and bring it out for me and we'll forget that this conversation ever existed." I told her and she didn't say a word.

    Ember's POVIf they had any bias against me, they knew better than to air it because they were going to be disgraced at the end of the day. All eyes were on me as I rose.I was smiling all through because I knew that it wasn't going to be easy for them for the next few hours before they left. All I needed was to have something that would help me with proving that Ellie was the culprit that stole my jewelry. I hoped that my threat was enough to make her run Helter skelter and return it. When I heard a knock on my door, I frowned. There was a reason why certain things happened the way they did. What the hell was the relationship between my ex-husband and I?I opened and shot him a bland look. "What are you doing here? Do you want me to scream that you're about to rape me? I bet you I would be so happy and I would play my part to the latter." Xander stared at me for a minute. "You've become dangerous. I wonder what caused the maliciousness

Acting like I was mad at him was going to land me into serious trouble more than I ever expected and the best way to get out of this mess was to make sure that I overcame whatever it was that I was feeling inside of me. Now, I stared at him."I don't know what you're talking about but if you're trying to stir something up, please don't hesitate to state your concerns and not pass it under some shroud of concern or observation." I fired back. All of these were Xander's fault. Why the hell couldn't he just take his wife and get out of my space. Why the hell was he making it very difficult for me? It was annoying the hell out of me and I didn't even want to make sure that I didn't say anything because it could be brutal and Trent who was very astute for my likin

    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

    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.
