PARIS's POV I was doing my best to remain calm amidst that which pissed me off to no end, but as always, Christina remained unrepentant. "can't you see what this woman has done to you? Because of her, you're a completely different person. I barely even recognize you anymore." Christina said, shaki
"I really don't know why you're trying so hard to get out of this one. Rowan is a really nice guy."And indeed, he was.Perhaps because of Paris, and then the run-in with Keith, but the idea of men in this phase of my life was actually a big deal for me. Safe to say it left me with some amount of an
EMBER's POV " I don't want to get anything from any car, Ember. I came out here to be with you," he said adamantly, and I bit my lower lip. "Well, that's dumb," I said quietly. The past weeks stretched out between us. The lawyer's letters, the letter rendering them void, the public statement on th
I knew I was making the right choice, so why did it hurt so much to watch him walk away? I knew taking what he offered at that moment was the wrong move, and so why did the idea of our divorce being printed out on paper, make me want to crawl into my bed and cry forever? ~~~~ I didn't sleep well.
EMBER’s POV Who in the world had invited him? I thought woefully. And what was he doing? I wondered as he made his way over to our table, "Ember Macgregor," he said with a wicked smile when he reached my table, and I wanted nothing more than to grab Rowan's hand and flee. There was a glint in Par
I watched him go but didn't call out to him. I was truly tired of having people threaten me, but at that moment, I was too tired to care. I went back into the hall and found Rowan waiting where I left him and simply watched him. He was scrolling through his phone, but when he put it down he turned
PARIS’s POV "I don't know why you still give her the time of your day to be honest. You have Kate. That woman loses herself daily just to please you. A bit crazy about that one, but still. And if you don't want Kate, then you can have any other woman. You're an Alpha for God's sake." But no other
"Ember, don't say that." "it's the truth though. You kissing me tonight, isn't about love. You don't love me. You just care that something you consider yours isn't taken from you. I'm nothing more than an acquisition to you. It's all a game for you, and I'm not interested in playing. I'm tired, Par
EMBER'S POV"there you are," Axel announced when he found me still on my hair, contemplating my life,"You were looking for me?""yeah. I said I'd come to watch you guys train. I stepped outside, but found the training ground empty, and wondered where you all went.""Well, we were there." I told hi
"good. Now come at me again, and this time around, use the element of surprise. I suppose we can make this lesson four."By noon, my body was different kinds of sore, and achy, and this time around, when Jean stretched out his hand toward me to help me up, I refused to take it, lest he make us go an
EMBER'S POV"Well now," I said and struggled against his hold."you're going to have to do better than that if you want to be free of me, Baby girl.""No fair, you had not even announced the beginning of the lesson." I wailed,"The same way that bear isn't always going to announce its attack. I'm s
And then I remembered and I groaned,“I forgot.” I sighed and rubbed at my eyes, before trying to sit up, “You can tell him to wait for me, I should be down soon.”I said and caught him looking at me uncertainly and I laughed,“You don’t believe that I’m up for real?”“I don’t believe you won’t go r
EMBER’s POV“They want you to wrestle a bear?” Jean asked looking just as shocked as I had felt when I heard the news and I nodded soberly,“They say it’s the only way for me to prove myself as being strong and worthy,” I said and took my seat on Jean’s couch.I had come to tell him what had befalle
EMBER's POV"wrestle a bear?" I asked in utter confusion, as I looked from my father to my brother and back to my father again, hoping one of them would tell me that it was all a joke. But they stayed looking so sober that I knew that this wasn't a joke of any sort.But they stayed, looking sober, a
EMBER's POV"He has refused a countless number of times we've shoved it up his face. What makes you think this time will be any different?" William asked, looking at me like he didn't think I was sure I knew what I was talking about.But I was sure. I mean, I had heard him correctly. And even now, I
"maybe. How are you? Were you able to get some work done today? All of that?" I asked, and he tilted his head, smiling at me,"So you want company?" he asked, his French accent going sultry, and I suddenly felt very warm. This wasn't what I had been aiming for, but I liked it very much."That would
Ember's Pov There comes a time in everyone's life when they decide that they've had enough of all of the crises they've had to deal with in life. And after that, they simply need a break.I didn't know how to get my break, but Paris had offered me one. The words he said to me when he saved me had c
