"But who would curse her?" Ash was pacing around the room now. "I don't know, Ash. Please sit down, you're making me anxious." Layla sighed. "I spoke with Mom and she said she's going to see if the tree of life will show her who cursed Layla. She's also calling Kaitlyn, the witch that helped me make the crystal that saved you. We'll find a solution guys." I looked at Layla and then at Ash. "Step one was finding out what was wrong and we did that. Not the best news, but we've stepped in the right direction now." I tried comforting them. "Ember, this is…" Ash stumbled with his words, flustered. "Not ideal, I know. We'll fix it though, Ash. I promise I'll find a way." I leaned over, grabbing his hand. "Leave it to me, okay?" "No, this time I'm helping. She's my chosen one. I have time. I'll let Larminiel know what's happening. I can pause my overtaking for now until this is handled." He stood back up again. He was antsy and upset. "Okay. It would be nice to have your help this time

"Are you still in touch with Toni's Mom? Maybe she knows a healer siren." I asked Dex, picking at a blade of grass. I had found him, and Gabriel, playing in the woods behind the houses."Mommy, look at me!" Gabriel called to me as he did a cartwheel. "That's so amazing, Gabriel. Keep practicing.""She stopped talking to me after Toni died. She was pretty upset. She blames me in a way for not keeping an eye on him. Her words, not mine." Dex responded to my question. He was watching Gabriel in the distance. "So Jaime then?" I haven't gone to see the old man in years. Dex hates when I go."No. God, no." He shook his head and looked back at me. "I'll do it." My heart stopped. "Dex, are you sure? We can find another way. Don't do it if you aren't ready." I placed my hand over his. I don't want him doing this thinking he has to. "I know, Ember." He used my name and not just sunshine. He's being very serious. "I've actually been thinking about it for a while. I've just been too nervous

"Mommy, it's time to get up. I start school today!" Gabriel's sweet voice woke me from a dead sleep. "No, Gabriel. My heart can't handle you growing up like this." I grabbed him, pulling him to the bed. "Mommy." He whined, trying to pull away."Ugh, fine. Mommy's getting up now." I sighed. I really wasn't ready for him to start school, but I know he needs it. I just can't believe he's old enough now to attend. I know he'll do well, but I worry about kids being mean to him. I don't want him to experience any of the bad things I did in school. I got ready, wearing one of my larger off shoulder sweaters with long black leggings. My baby bump keeps growing more and more every night. Soon I won't be able to fit into my pants. At that point I'll be wearing nothing but dresses. I braided my hair to the side and let my long bangs hang loose. "You're looking too pretty to drop our kid off at school." Dex kissed the exposed skin of my shoulder. "And you're looking too handsome." I am not

I quickly turned around as he began to take his towel off. "Uh, what do you think you're doing?" I almost yelled at him. "Getting dressed." He said it so nonchalantly. "You do realize I am standing right here, right?" I asked bewildered."Yeah I know. I don't mind if you look." He chuckled. This guy really is shameless. "My husband would mind. I would mind." "You mean the same husband that left the curtains open while he bent you over that little table?" Zain stood directly behind me now. He was close enough that I could feel the heat radiate off his body. I froze realizing what he was saying. He had seen Dex and I having sex earlier. Did he watch the entire time? My face was probably beet red right now. "You pervert! Were you watching us the whole time?" I snapped at him. "You were putting on quite a show. It was impossible to look away." His lips tickled my ear as he spoke, sending goosebumps down my back. I very quickly stepped further away from him. If he were fully dres

Ash and Layla came in using the side door."Something smells good!" Ash's deep voice came around the corner. He was smiling widely as Layla held his hand. She seemed a little off. I can't quite place the emotion, it seems almost like guilt? That's very odd. "It'll be ready in 5." Dex told him. "Great! I'm starved." Ash rubbed his belly stupidly. I poked his side. "Again?" "Every time you're being stupid or annoying." I told him. "I am not that annoying or stupid." He referenced the millions of times that I have poked his side over the years. "Apparently you are." I poked his side again. "Hey." Ash whined, rubbing the spot. A laugh I didn't recognize had me turning around to face the door. Zain was standing in the doorway, making his way inside. He was fully clothed this time. A light blue shirt and jeans covered his skin. "You guys are cute. I want a little sister." He told us. "No, you really don't." Ash told him, sticking his tongue out at me. "I'll remember that." I poke

"What do you want with my wife?" Dex asked him. He tried to keep his tone calm, but I could hear the anger stirring in him. "Just to tell her the truth." Zain wasn't phased by Dex. "Hey, keep your eyes on me." Dex yelled at Zain.I wasn't looking, but I could feel Zain's eyes penetrating my skin. I hid into Dex's chest further. I didn't like the feeling his eyes were bringing me. It was too familiar…a familiar I'm worried about."Tell me what you want with my wife." I could tell Dex was now using his siren magic to get to the truth. "I want to make her mine. She's meant to be with me." Zain answered plainly. He'd said that to me earlier today…meant to be."What do you mean?" Dex was holding me tightly against him. He was getting angrier with each word Zain spoke. "She's my beloved. It's the equivalent of destined one to us witches. She'll help me unlock stronger magic that only my beloved can." Zain was deep in Dex's trance. His voice sounded melodic and dazed. My mind was reelin

Dex's P.O.V.I'm not sure how I got so blessed to have a destined one like Ember. I couldn't take my eyes off her as I carried her to our bedroom. I didn't think it was possible, but she managed to make me fall even deeper in love with her. Her words to me this evening were everything I longed to hear and more. She looked so radiant in my arms. I couldn't sustain my hunger for her any longer. Both of us have had an insatiable hunger for one another that just seems to be growing everyday. I don't know what it is, but I can't deny how happy it's been making me. Her hands clutched at my shirt letting me know how badly she wanted me at this moment. I didn't rush to our room. I want to take my time with her tonight. I'll mark her again as she asked and I know just the spot. I took the stairs one step at a time. I could feel her anticipation growing with every step. Her breath was already steadily increasing and her grip on me was growing stronger. God she's so beautiful, even more so no
The Ember In The Dark Ch. 125
Zain's P.O.V.That siren really thinks that I would fall that easily into his trap. My mother taught me a long time ago how to guard my mind. He never really locked away my memories. Even if he would have, they wouldn't have stayed locked away. He can't just make this bond disappear. It's not up to him to deny me. I honestly never expected to meet my beloved here. I definitely never thought she'd be pregnant and married. It doesn't matter though, I'll take her just the way she is. I'll have her come to me before I need to leave. I've never had a problem making a woman fall for me. This won't be any different. Hell, it may even be easier. I'm sure she feels the bond too. She's feisty though and extremely strong. She likes it dirty too. I watched how much she enjoyed being bent over like that. Her body is so beautiful and I can't wait to explore it myself. I won't let that siren keep us apart. He can try as much as he likes, but I'll take what's mine. I need to get Ember alone again
