Ember knew that she had to find a way to leave the place or else she'll end up being dead, just like the former luna of Bresmont.

Her few days stayed inside the den of the werewolf hunters, she saw how much hatred Kingston had for the werewolves, and he's imparting that kind of hatred to other hunters.

He's dragging those half-hearted hunters to have that kind of hate Kingston has. They viewed then them as the most vile creatures that ever existed, something that isn't true. Yes, they were cruel but only to those who deserved it.

Ember knew that she'll be tortured soon, it's just a matter of time. With the cruelty and hate Kingston have for the werewolves, Ember was a hundred percent sure that she will never walk out of this pit unscathed. She may even end up dead.

Her eyes remained closed but she strained her ears to hear everything that's ha

    Liam dropped on his knees as he bowed in the presence of the Lycan King. He believed that there’s no one except the King who can help him find where Ember is right now. He asked the King to help him locate Ember since the Lycan King knew everything about Devonlaire. He’s more than a century old, he knew a lot of things about his kingdom, especially about his enemies.The King chuckled when Liam begged him for help.“Don’t you have any faith in Ember Jacobson?” The King is amused. He could still remember how this alpha disagreed with his marriage with Ember. The King wanted to laugh, he couldn’t believe how weak this alpha to fall in love that easily.The Lycan King didn’t believe in love. For him, there’s only hate in this world full of cruelty and sadness. His hundreds of years of existence had taught him that love does not exist, it is only a product of one’s imaginatio

    “Damn you, Liam!” Kean cursed when he tried to connect with Liam again through their mind link but he was already blocked by the Alpha. “Hard-headed asshole!”Kean felt hopeless as she tried again, but to no avail. His brother is really determined to save the Luna all by himself, even with the King’s command not to find Ember. Kean was sure as hell that Liam will be in great trouble if he’s not going to obey the King’s command, not only will Liam be compromised, but also the whole Ashdown name.Liam might be convicted of Treason and the worst part of it is that there’s a possibility that he might be executed.“The King ordered him to come go back here at Bresmont, but Liam has other plans.” Kean looked at his father, Chris, helplessly.Kean may be the naughty and the not-so-serious type between the two brothers, but he’s the more logical thinker tha

    “He’s out of his mind.” Chris closed and rubbed his eyes in frustration and annoyance.How can Liam, an Alpha of one of the districts of Devonlaire, go to ask help from a witch? Sure, that witch was not like the others who like to wreck chaos in the realm, but dealing with them is prohibited, not if the King permits. And given Liam’s situation right now where the King wanted him to go back to Bresmont, it will be a disaster.“Someone has to stop him, or else we will all be dragged by this. We all know how cruel the Lycan King is. He’s not gonna take this easy.” Kean was edgy. “We need to go now.” He glanced at Solana who was also pacing back and forth, uneasiness was consuming her.“Go. Bring him here. Drag him if you must.” Chris pursed his lips into a thin line.This is what h

    Ember woke up in an unfamiliar room. The blinding lights made it hard for her to see where she actually was, but the scent was quite familiar to her.High ceiling, huge, comfortable bed, and the scent of someone she knew assaulted her senses when she turned and buried her face in the pillow.“Oh, god!” She groaned. Pain shot through her body when she tried to move out of bed.Then she remembered everything that happened. The hunters attack Bresmont, she was captured and taken to their camp and she was tortured. She escaped. She remembered it all too vividly, how she killed almost all of those hunters in the camp and how much she tried to go back to Bresmont despite the wounds she sustained.She strained her eyes and let them roam around the room. The design was familiar.Liam. She can smell Liam's scent

    Ember often asked herself before if soulmates were true. Is it really true that the Moon Goddess grants every werewolf a mate, someone who will be with them for the rest of their lives?Ember never really thought that she has a soulmate, until now. She believed that Liam is her soulmate. It may sound weird but she can feel it, deep inside her she can feel how Liam clawed and caged her heart.Liam pushed Ember to lie on the bed, Ember didn’t protest at all. They were both consumed by the fire that they were feeling. Though she finds it weird that Liam is this aggressive towards her, she just went with the flow, she likes it anyway.A soft moan escaped from her mouth when Liam slipped his lips to her neck. His body was pressed against her and she could feel how hard he is right now. Liam’s hands were all over her, squeezing, caressing, and feeling her every skin

    “Are yous sure you can do this?”Liam asked Ember for the third time. He’s not entirely convinced that Ember is already fit to go to Devonlaire.Ember took the passenger’s seat while Liam slid into the driver’s seat. The Council of Claws had Ember summoned to Devonlaire. The Lycan King wanted to personally talk to Ember about her experience while she was captured by the hunters, something Liam was opposed to.Ember gave Liam a tight smile as she buckled up. She propped herself towards Liam who was starting to revive the engine.“You worry too much, Alpha. Have you forgotten that I defeated a whole army of hunters and find my way back to Bresmont?” There was an edge of pride in her voice. “Standing in front of the council and the King will not have me budge.”Emb

    Somewhere deep in the forest outside the walls of Bresmont, a group of werewolf hunters gathered to take refuge in a cave that was not inhabited by any creatures. After the chaos that happened in the camp, few survivors were able to escape and that includes their leader, Robert Kingston, and his sister, Rolyn.A loud cry reverberated through the walls of the cave as Rolyn cried in pain. She was chained to the wall, blood dripping from her wounds while Robert punished her.“Please, stop,” she begged him to stop. But Robert has no plans in listening to his little sister.She’s been a pain in the ass, and now Robert got full of her dumbness.Robert laughed. “You want me to stop?” An edge of mockery can be heard in his tone.Robert went to Rolyn and grabbed her hair forcefully so that she

    It’s been a month since Ember happened to escape from the cruelty of werewolf hunters and within those days it was eerily quiet and peaceful in all of Devonlaire. It was something that Ember finds weird and worrisome.She knew that those hunters and witches were just hiding somewhere, plotting unimaginable things on how to eliminate them.Ember felt two warm and strong arms circling her waist and Liam’s fresh scent assaulted her senses. He buried his face in the space between her neck and shoulder, and Ember can’t help but let out a laugh when his stubbles tickled her skin.“Liam! I’m sweaty all over!” Ember protested.She’s sweaty from her sparring with Yuri. After Yuri escaped the fire, Ember saw her change. She’s now determined to learn the art of fighting and Ember will give her anything just

    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 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.

    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
