Bresmont has been very peaceful ever since Ember came back. Together with the other districts, the center of Devonlaire had also celebrated her comeback.There were no sightings of evil witches or even the remnant werewolf hunters who survived the hunt.Ember couldn’t be more happy now that she’s finally back and she finally met her daughter, Hope. Her heart was filled with joy as she watched her sleeping peacefully in her crib. She resembles her so much in the physical aspect, and she hope she will inherit Liam’s courage and determination.After all, she’s the next ruler of Bresmont, it should only be fitting that she will take from her father.Liam, on the other hand had been so clingy. He was a little bit paranoid when he wouldn’t find her in their bed in the morning and he’s always concern for her safety.“There you are! God, I was looking or you all over the mansion!” Liam exclaimed behind her.Ember couldn’t help but chuckled. She wasn’t expecting Liam to be this clingy. For a b
“We need to go. We can’t let the council wait for us.”Liam glanced at Aron, who stood behind him with his usual guarding stance.“Give me one more minute,” Liam said gloomily. His lips were set into a thin line and his pitch-black eyes flickered into a golden glow before returning to their usual color. He was so torn. He needed to be in this place to think things through.Liam heaved out a heavy breath as he stared into the horizon. On this hill, just before the protective walls of Bresmont, was where the ashes of his late wife were scattered into the air. She was here, and he felt her presence through the stillness of the trees and the peaceful sound of birds chirping.“I missed you, Tash,” he silently whispered. His heart felt empty since she was gone. It was never the same again, but he tried to live each day. There was never a day when he didn’t think of her, and with each passing day, his hunger for her presence grew stronger.He missed her so much, and his unborn child who died
The union between werewolves is not the same as the union of other creatures. As an Alpha, the Lycan King should approve of the union first before they can proceed to the Marking Ceremony, which will be held at Bresmont.Some wolves have mates and some don’t have one. As for Liam, he married Natasha, who was not his mate. Or maybe he hasn’t found her yet. But Liam didn’t actually care about that mate thing, he only wanted Natasha, and no one else.After the approval and blessing from the Lycan King, Liam and Ember went straight back to Bresmont, where the marking ceremony should be held. Liam had requested that it be private because he didn’t want to have a huge celebration.“Congratulations to both of you.” Esmeralda, Liam’s mother, greeted the two as they stepped out from the walls of the King’s Castle. “Ember, dear, you look exceptionally beautiful with that dress. Congratulations on being the new Luna of Bresmont. As the mother of the Alpha, you can always come to me whenever you n
After helping Dr. Brynn, the pack’s doctor, at the infirmary, Ember was led by the in-house maid to her room. The master’s bedroom, Liam and her bedroom.Tonight, was supposed to be the Marking ceremony, but Ember knew that it would never happen. Liam will never give his mark to her. With the kind of relationship that they had and his hatred towards her family, Ember prepared herself for everyday battle with that hard-headed alpha.But that’s the least of her worries. She can always seduce Liam and make him surrender to her. She will prove to him that she’s better. So much better than Natasha.Ember scanned the room. Her eyes landed on every detail of the room, and she was impressed.The room was very spacious, the king-sized bed looked so comfortable, and the color of the walls was so calming. There's a luxury chandelier that hung in the middle of the room, which added to the majestic ambiance of the room. The design of the room was a combination of old and modern design. It was actua
Ember gritted her teeth as she sat on one of the infirmary’s empty beds. The rest of the pack was now in their respective rooms, resting and recuperating after the attack after they took her to the infirmary since it won’t heal easily.She was the only one who was left in the infirmary together with Dr. Brynn who was treating her wounds, a wound that was inflicted by her very own cruel Alpha. Ember wanted to laugh mockingly at herself. She was embarrassed on her first night being a Luna.Ember grimaced at the thought that Liam really had hurt her. Now that she had seen his cruel side, she knew that he was a hopeless case.“This will hurt,” Brynn warned her. She was holding a bottle with a black liquid on it. Ember had no interest in asking what was inside that bottle, all she could think of was how painful her wounds are and how she hated the Alpha right now.Doctor Brynn Daniels, the pack’s doctor had been kind to treat her at this hour.Ember just nodded slowly. Pain does not scare
His eyes strained from the darkness of the forest, his lungs burned as he forced air into his lungs and the sharp claws of his feet dug deep into the muddy floors of the forest. Alpha Liam may not be the fastest in the pack but his one of the strongest Devonlaire ever had.Liam was beyond angry, he was enraged by what happened back at the mansion. It was past midnight and he should be in the comforts of his own bed right now, but here he is, running like crazy deep into the forest, seeking refuge in his sanctuary like the coward that he is.His anger was directed towards Ember who had the audacity to act like she was the queen of the pack. He already hated the fact that he has no choice but to marry her, and now she was acting like a bitch that she really is.His movements were lightning-fast as he climb up that hill. He was in his wolf form.Once there, he sniffed the air to determine whether there was another creature aside from him, and when he found no traces of any scent, Liam le
It’s been almost a week since she moved to Bresmont. She was originally living in the castle as one of the Lycan King’s elite soldiers and the strongest amongst the rest in Devonlaire.When her father said that she was chosen by the council to be wed to a grumpy, old Alpha, Ember couldn’t seem to understand why they chose her. She’s already committed to serving the King, but then when the King agreed, Ember could not say no anymore.She just has to deal with it. After all, she really has no say in anything in this realm dominated by Alphas. Ember knew she will regret it.And now she’s suffering from his icy stares and cold treatment whenever they bumped into each other. Not that she minded being ignored by the Alpha, she just can’t figure out how William Ashdown became an Alpha of the Pack. He’s a bit childish and immature for his age. For Ember, Liam is not suitable to be an Alpha. He mainly uses his emotions and not his brain and instincts.“There you are! I practically looked for y
Ember was lost for words at what she saw in front of her. Her heart pumped a little bit than it should as she scanned the young wolves lined up on a platform. She estimated their age ranges from thirteen to sixteen, so young but also very determined to learn how to combat and protect the realm. Her heart was filled with adoration for these young wolves because she was once like them. Though she really was not into fighting and self-defense before, she learned to love it since it will ensure the safety of the people of Devonlaire.“So, how do you like this place? I thought you might like it here since you are part of the King’s soldiers.” Solana crossed her arms in front of her chest as she looked at those young recruits with pride. We trained them and taught them how to be strong. Because we all know not werewolves were born with the ability to fight, some of them were omegas, but they are learning.” Solana explained.“Wow, this place is so beautiful. Where is this place? Is it outsid

Asher just stood there, his body unmoving while his mind was still processing what he just saw.“I will explain later. We need to hold the gates, it’s been breached and there are more coming.” Ember uttered, she was frantic. She can feel that there were more bandits coming.But before Asher could even utter a single word, they heard a howl that made everyone stop, including Ember.Ember’s eyes widened in realization. Liam was calling her. Ember could feel his wolf calling into her soul, it was like a pull that she cannot deny.“Liam…” she whispered.And, she saw him. In the sea of crowds, she saw him in his glorious transformed body.When their eyes met, Ember knew that she’s home. She finally found her way home, or home find its way to bring her back.Tears stung her eyes and her throat hurt as she tried to swallow her cries of joy. It’s not time to rejoice but she couldn’t help it.In one swift motion, she ran toward his direction. She cared less about the bandits this time. Call he
Liam and his company were frantic. According to Ursula and Erin, Crumbush was being attacked by the bandits who wanted Ember’s head.His heart hammered inside his chest as he thought of his Luna being surrounded by those thugs. It brought him back to the war that happened a year ago, where Ember sacrificed her life just so their enemies would be defeated.A different kind of pain rushed through his entire being. He will not allow that to happen once again, not when he’s this strong and capable.Air rushed in his lungs as he lunged and avoided trees. He has never run this fast in his entire life. It’s only a matter of time, and one single second that he’s late, it will change anything.They can already see the fire up in the sky a few kilometers away from them. Liam instantly knew what it was.“It has begun,” he murmured as he halted from his tracks and stared at the black smoke that dominated the blue sky.“Alpha, we should continue now.” Liam heard Solana speak into their mind.Liam
Liam put Hope in her crib. She was fast asleep, and though he didn’t want to wake her up he couldn’t help but hold her in his arms before he left Bresmont to find Ember.Hope was a spitting image of her mother. Just by looking at Hope, his urge to find his wife got even stronger. He will do anything to find her and bring her back to their daughter.“I promise you, my little angel. I will bring Mommy back. And you will grow into a fine lady with your mother beside you. We will be whole again, Hope. I promise you that.”He caressed her chubby cheeks and planted one last kiss before he exited her room.Yesterday, Yvette suddenly showed up at their doorstep and told them that she was able to detect Ember’s power.She was able to retrieve her magic sphere from the Lycan King and now, she can locate Ember.When he asked her why she was doing this, she answered that she just wanted to help.“I just want to do something right, at least that’s what I can help for Devonlaire. The whole Devonlai
Asher heard hushed conversation when he neared the kitchen. He slowed down and tried to listen to the topic.It was about Emerald and the other night’s event.He grimaced thinking that it was not a secret anymore. More and more people every day gain knowledge of that incident, and it will not be good for them.“Do you think she’s not human?” One of the servants of the house whispered to the other.“I can’t say that. But given the fact that she killed those six burly men, it’s scary having her around the house. We can’t tell when she’ll attack.”“You’re right, Marishka told me to stay away from her.”“But we really can’t do that since we have jobs to do here in the house.”“I just wished she’ll vanish for good.”“I think she’s a werewolf. According to those who witness, those dead men have huge wounds from a claw. If that’s the case, the Chief should cast her out.”Asher balled his fist. For some reason, he hated hearing those kinds of accusations that were thrown at Emerald. He felt t
Emerald tossed and turned in her bed as blood and cries of agony erupted through the dead of the night.She sobbed while her eyes were closed. She saw it all, the death of these people who became dear to her.She had seen this scenario before. She knew this scene would end up as the worst dream of her life.“No, please….” she moaned in pain and she clasped her palm tightly into the sheets like her survival depended on it. Tears trek down her beautiful face although her eyes were closed and sweat invaded her whole body.She saw everything, Marana was struck with a huge axe on her neck causing her to die in that instant. Asher took a bullet for her and he was hit in different parts of his body. Erin, the poor child cried for help as she witnessed her mother being violated in front of her.“Don’t do this…”Emerald tried to help, but she couldn't touch a thing. This dream was so similar to the one she had a long time ago. And the worst part is, that dream came true, many died and she coul
Kreigstone is a town located outside the walls of Devonlaire. Its inhabitants were all human, and any supernatural beings were forbidden to settle down or even enter the town.People talked in hushed voices, afraid that they might be arrested for talking about the girl in the woods.It’s not a secret that some supernatural activities were happening in their town.Their politicians were furious, the people scared and the outlaws were enraged.At least six people from the other side of the law were killed in that single night, and they were screaming for retaliation.Gasper, one of the outlaws, was drinking his liquor in a torn bar in the most isolated part of the town. He heard people talk and he’s picking up any information that their boss might need.Who was that woman in the woods?His grip on the bottle of beer resting in his hands tightened. He was enraged. One of the victims was his older brother, and he was desperately in need of blood. Red, cold, dirty blood in his hands. And h
The cold water from the shower cascaded Asher’s naked body. He lost count of how long he’s been inside the bathroom. His thoughts flew out of the house and back to what happened in the forest part last night.He closed his eyes and immediately flashes of the scene came to his memory.Gruesome. The smell of metal flew in the air and the stench of death made it even worse.A total of six dead bodies of huge men were scattered everywhere, some were on the ground and others were hung on the tree. Their blood pooled on the forest floor, fertilizing the earth.They arrived at the scene late. Everything happened so fast that when they got there, they didn’t witness how those men died.But based on Marana’s opinion, they all die from blood loss due to the huge wounds they incurred. A wound that only a monster was capable of inflicting.Was it Emerald?He can hardly tell it since he didn’t see the whole thing.The cold water sipped through his body and his bones shivered from the cold.Cursing
It’s the carnival night and Emerald couldn’t get any excited to go there.A huge smile appeared on her beautiful face as she examined how she looked in the mirror.Marana gave her a dress to wear there. It’s a pretty dress with a simple design. It fitted nicely in her body and he smile widened. She can’t wait to go in the carnival. She believed she hasn’t been on one.Marana and her family had been so good to her. Despite the fact that she’s a stranger and they didn’t know where she came from, they still welcome her and treated her like family.She swirl in front of the mirror and her smile widened.“I’m ready.” She left her room and went to find Marana and the rest of the people who wanted to see the carnivval too.Carnival nigths happens every once a month. They travel from town to town. She’s excited to see what’s in there. She has not regain her memory yet and there were a lot of things that confused her, but she’s not giving up.Emerald believed that one day, she will be able to
